Planned support for http/2 + websockets?
Does anybody know of any plans to add support for rfc8441
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8441) in Apache httpd?

I've really tried, but couldn't find anything regarding it other than
an e-mail to this list ~5 years ago.
(https://httpd.markmail.org/message/w3gkrejvfwmm6dqz?q=websocket+http2)
But it didn't seem to get any traction, or did it?

I'm about to start hacking away on it because we need it.
But since I'm totally new to Apache and httpd, I wanted to check if it
maybe happens to already be on anybody's list.

(The support seems to already be there in libnghttp2.)

Kind regards,
Karin

Nothing planned that I know of.

Looking forward to see what come up with. I'm available in case you have any questions. Also note: curl is adding support for websockets in the next release and I think it has landed in its master already.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
