Ansible Role: http2

Build status for this role:

This role installs and configures several HTTP/2 tools straight from their github source. The following tools are built:

• OpenSSL 1.0.2-chacha - an OpenSSL fork containing the ChaCha20 and Poly1305 cipher
• SPDYLAY - SPDY protocol version 2, 3 and 3.1 implementation in C
• nghttp2 - HTTP/2 C Library and several tools
• curl - built with http/2 support

The following tools will be at your disposal:

• curl

• h2load

• nghttp

• nghttpx

• nghttpd

• openssl

The following libraries will be installed:

• libcrypto

• libcurl

• libnghttp2

• libspdylay

• libssl

Note that the role installs all libraries and tools each time, fresh from their github repositories. Currently it doesn't check the status of previously installed libraries and tools. It also doesn't remove the packages necessary for compiling all the tools.

The testing process can take quite a while - please be patient.
