HTTP2-Server

This server is http2 only. It does not provide upgrades from HTTP 1.1. If you need to provide HTTP 1.1 in conjunction with HTTP 2 you may use Envoy Proxy for translating between the different HTTP Versions. See the examples/envoy directory for a simple example involving envoy.

Compatible with node.js 10+, with the --experimental-modules flag set.

Function Reference

HTTP2Server class

The HTTP2Server class provides all functionality to start a HTTP" server. It emits request events which will pass HTTP2Request class instances to its listeners.

Example of a non secure server

Be aware that no browser is sending non secure requests to a HTTP2 Server, since it's quite insecure.

import HTTP2Server from 'es-modules/distributed-systems/http2-server/1.0.0+/index.mjs';

const server = new HTTP2Server({
    port: 8000,
    secure: false,
});


// prepare the server
await server.load();


// intercept request on the GET /status route
const router = server.getRouter();

router.get('/status', (request) => {
    request.response().status(200).send(`I'm very well!`);
});


// start listening. you may also define a port here
await server.listen(8010);

new HTTP2Server (options)

The constructor takes all options required to start the server. The options are an object containing the configuration parameters.

• key: private key for the server
• certificate: certificate for the server
• port = 443: port to listen on
• router = new Router(): router that handles incoming requests. Defaults to the included Router class
• secure: if set to false, the server starts without requiring clients to use TLS

HTTP2Server.registerMiddleware (middleware)

Register a middleware that is executed on each request.
