Add support for HTTP/2

[oubiwann]

Hopefully this is in the works :-)

I just saw that Clojure now supports HTTP/2 and my LFE bones are itching to do the same.

Cowboy is working on it, currently targeted for the end of the year:

Thoughts? Plans?

[vinoski]

Yes, I was hoping to soon start working on adding this to Yaws.

[oubiwann]

Hurray! I use YAWS extensively in lots of different LFE applications (one of them embedded). I'm available and willing to test at any stage of the development process -- just say the word.

@vinoski any idea about the roadmap about it? What could help?

[vinoski]

I've been busy finishing writing this book and also working to try to make dirty schedulers official for Erlang 19, so I just haven't had time to do much on this yet. The book goes to production mid-February, so perhaps I'll have some spare cycles after that. Not exactly sure what could help at this point unless someone wants to start trying to write it and then we could see how we might collaborate to finish it.

[benoitc]

is it closed because it has been added or because you don't want to support it?

[capflam]

@benoitc, no, of course not. @etnt, You close all opened issues. Is there any reason for that ?

What is the status of supporting HTTP/2 and HTTP/3?

[vinoski]

Neither is currently supported. Only a couple requests for such support have been raised over the past few years.

[schnaitterm]

what needs to be done?

[vinoski]

Everything — design, implementation, testing, documentation.
