Add Http2 support

[yschimke]

Wishlist item for Http2 support. Seems based on keepalive support that reused connections are possible.

This item seemed to tagged to 0.9.0.RELEASE.

Any idea where I can find the release schedule for this?

Thanks

[smaldini]

We will work on that around Q2 - We haven't set a date but it should align with Spring Framework 5.1 work as well. We're looking pretty much to this indeed ( see reactor netty roadmap from S1P here https://speakerdeck.com/smaldini/springoneplatform-2017-reactor-now-and-tomorrow) !

@smaldini Can you please share if any progress is being made in this area?

[violetagg]

@thekalinga you can take a look here https://github.com/reactor/reactor-netty/blob/master/src/test/java/reactor/netty/http/HttpTests.java#L496
there is still not API for working with streams

[thekalinga]

@violetagg Thanks for that. Do u have any idea when the development on this item might start & any target you have in mind for completion?

What do you mean?
The upgrade from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2 is there, what the missing part is to work directly with the streams....
The 0.8.0.M1 is around the corner

[thekalinga]

@violetagg Sorry for my ignorance. I dont have much idea about the internal apis created in this project to support HTTP2 API. Is it fair to say 0.8.0 will contain full HTTP2 support?

yes

[medalliaerlich]

Hi, Which is the release date for 0.8.0?
Is there a RC version?

[violetagg]

@medalliaerlich We are currently work towards M1, what do you want to see as HTTP/2 support in 0.8? Just supporting HTTP/2 protocol, or manipulating the streams etc.
It will be very helpful to know what people need as HTTP/2 support

Thanks,
Violeta

We are planning on using Spring Cloud Gateway which is using Reactor Netty, and are waiting for release 0.8. Please check thread spring-cloud/spring-cloud-gateway#7
