Description

Proposal:
It would be nice to support HTTP/2 as well.

Current behavior:
Currently only HTTP/1 is supported.

Desired behavior:
All HTTP/2 benefits (e.g multiplexing, binary data, constant TCP connection)

Use case:
With HTTP/2 actually you don't need any batching techniques; your stream is multiplexed and due to headers compression and binary protocol, it should be less data sent overall. And its still more reliable than UDP

Research direction

The issue provides no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing HTTP/1 implementation and its server tests, then determine the project scope for HTTP/2 support. Done means HTTP/2 is supported with the stated multiplexing, binary protocol, and persistent-connection benefits.
