HTTP/2 support

[IceflowRE]

Description of bug

arc is using HTTP/1.1 protocol, is there support for HTTP/2? if not is it planned?

Versions

App: 12.1.4

[jarrodek]

With next version I am planning to add experimental support for native HTTP transport library. I believe node has it already so it would be enabled in this case. Support for HTTP/2 in ARC's transport library is planned but not yet scheduled.

any update on this?

After the version 16 release I will take a closer look. Right now I am not entirely sure how to present the information. HTTP 2 is basically a socket pushing data to the client. This means the the request editor has to have a way to switch between HTTP /1 and /2. Then in the response view, currently it only expects a single document to be rendered and not a number of it. I don't have designs for it just yet, though I have a general idea of how to do it.

Finally is the transport itself. I am not planning further developing of ARC's own HTTP client so this would only be supported on the node's HTTP 2 client. I never tried it before so it may take me some time to analyze how to use it.

I put this ticket into road map and I'll assign it to version 17 in a moment. The release hasn't started yet so it would take some time to do it. It's really hard to tell at this point when v17 would be released as there are a lot of moving pars around this and other related projects.
