What is HTTP/2?
HTTP/2 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2) is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol used by the World Wide Web.
HTTP/2 is designed to address the performance issues in HTTP1.X to better use network resources and reduce network application latency.
HTTP/2 is backward compatible with HTTP1.X.
Why should I use HTTP/2?
Compared with HTTP1.X, HTTP/2 can make the response be more fast and efficient. HTTP/2 has the following advantages:
Multiplex: concurrent processing brings a faster response.
Server push: the server proactively pushes resources needed by the client, reducing the number of requests.
More features include bandwidth limit, request priority, header compression, and binary framing.
How does the billing work?
CLB supports the HTTP/2 protocol without charging extra fees.
How do I enable HTTP/2 on CLB?
Note：
The HTTP listener does not support HTTP/2. Mainstream browsers and web servers only support the TLS-based HTTP/2 protocol.
The HTTP1.X protocol is still used between the CLB instance and the real server.
1. Enable HTTP/2 on HTTPS listeners
CLB instance: you can enable or disable the HTTP/2 protocol in a CLB instance. For more information, please see Configuring an HTTPS Listener.
Classic CLB instance: HTTPS listeners created for a classic CLB instance before April 2018 do not support HTTP/2. HTTPS listeners created after April 2018 support but cannot disable HTTP/2.
2. Agree on the protocol at client access
When the client accesses an HTTP/2-enabled listener, the protocol version will be negotiated during the handshake process of HTTPS. The client uses ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) to inform the server of a list of supported protocols. The server selects HTTP/2 or HTTP1.X according to the protocol list. If the client does not support HTTP/2, the server will be automatically backward compatible without requiring additional configuration.
Which regions support HTTP/2?
Currently, all regions support HTTP/2.
Yes
No
