  • Added support for bootstrapping WebSockets via HTTP/2, as described in
    RFC 8441.
  • A new directive 'H2WebSockets on|off' has been added. The feature is
    disabled by default for compatibility reasons.
  • In Apache httpd development trunk (e.g. version 2.5.x) it is possible to use
    this with the proxy module to reverse proxy to a backend WebSockets server.
    This requires some new internal plumbing code in the server for getting I/O
    events on the HTTP/2 stream serving the connection.
    This "plumbing" is planned to be ported back into Apache 2.4.58.
  • For implementors of Apache modules using WebSockets, mod_h2 offers an
    optional function that provides an alternative to "older" Apache versions.
    See http2_get_pollfd_from_conn, declared in mod_http2.h.
