@FZambia The description above is for serving TLS, it doesn't cover H2C. The limitation is technical and I don't have a reasonable justification, so I'll leave this as 'nice to have'.

Hello, Centrifugo already supports HTTP/2 out of the box.

You need to configure TLS to make it work. For example, with mkcert tool:

❯ mkcert localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1

Created a new certificate valid for the following names 📜
 - "localhost"
 - "127.0.0.1"
 - "::1"

The certificate is at "./localhost+2.pem" and the key at "./localhost+2-key.pem" ✅

Run Centrifugo with TLS:

./centrifugo --tls --tls_cert localhost+2.pem --tls_key localhost+2-key.pem --api_insecure

Note, api_insecure is only to simplify example here.

Then check API response:

curl -X POST "https://localhost:8000/api/info" --data '{}'  -v

You will see HTTP/2 headers:

*  SSL certificate verify ok.
* using HTTP/2
* h2 [:method: POST]
* h2 [:scheme: https]
* h2 [:authority: localhost:8000]
* h2 [:path: /api/info]
* h2 [user-agent: curl/8.1.2]
* h2 [accept: */*]
* h2 [content-length: 2]
* h2 [content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded]
* Using Stream ID: 1 (easy handle 0x13f80c600)
> POST /api/info HTTP/2
> Host: localhost:8000
> User-Agent: curl/8.1.2
> Accept: */*
> Content-Length: 2
> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
>
* We are completely uploaded and fine
< HTTP/2 200
< content-type: application/json

Then check admin UI:

Having said this all, I don't see the problem with HTTP 1.1, I doubt about significant practical benefits here. So supporting H2C should be justified by a practical reason.

It’s not about a benefit, but rather a limitation I had and wanted to avoid putting it behind proxy.

Could you please explain what kind of limitation? Does the above description solves it for you?
