mod_proxy_http2
s HTTP/2 only, it does not provide any downgrades to HTTP/1.1. This means that the backend needs to HTTP/2 because HTTP/1.1 will not be used instead.
This module requires the service of mod_proxy_http2
need to be both loaded by the server.
mod_proxy_http2
works with incoming fronted requests using HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2. In both cases, requests proxied to the same backend are sent over a single T connection whenever possible (namely when the connection can be re-used).
Caveat: there will be no attempt to consolidate multiple HTTP/1.1 frontend requests (configured to be proxied to the same backend) into HTTP/2 streams belonging to the same HTTP/2 request. Each HTTP/1.1 frontend request will be proxied to the backend using a separate HTTP/2 request (trying to re-use the same T connection if possible).
This module relies on libnghttp2 to provide the core http/2 engine.
This module is experimental. Its behaviors, directives, and defaults are subject to more change from release to release relative to other standard modules. s are encouraged to consult the "CHANGES" file for potential updates.
Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large.
This module provides no directives.
The examples below demonstrate how to configure HTTP/2 for backend connections for a reverse proxy.
Proxy "/app" "h2://app.example.com" ProxyReverse "/app" "https://app.example.com"
Proxy "/app" "h2c://app.example.com" ProxyReverse "/app" "http://app.example.com"
The schemes to configure above in ProxyReverse
for reverse proxying h2
(or h2c
) protocols are the usual https
(resp. http
) as expected/used by the agent.
