<p>The <code>node:http2</code> module provides an implementation of the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540">HTTP/2</a> protocol.
It can be accessed using:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> http2 = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<section><h3>Determining if crypto support is unavailable<span><a class="mark" href="#determining-if-crypto-support-is-unavailable" id="determining-if-crypto-support-is-unavailable">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_determining_if_crypto_support_is_unavailable"></a></h3>
<p>It is possible for Node.js to be built without including support for the
<code>node:crypto</code> module. In such cases, attempting to <code>import</code> from <code>node:http2</code> or
calling <code>require('node:http2')</code> will result in an error being thrown.</p>
<p>When using CommonJS, the error thrown can be caught using try/catch:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js cjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> http2;
<span class="hljs-keyword">try</span> {
  http2 = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);
} <span class="hljs-keyword">catch</span> (err) {
  <span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">error</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'http2 support is disabled!'</span>);
}</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>When using the lexical ESM <code>import</code> keyword, the error can only be
caught if a handler for <code>process.on('uncaughtException')</code> is registered
<em>before</em> any attempt to load the module is made (using, for instance,
a preload module).</p>
<p>When using ESM, if there is a chance that the code may be run on a build
of Node.js where crypto support is not enabled, consider using the
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import"><code>import()</code></a> function instead of the lexical <code>import</code> keyword:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> http2;
<span class="hljs-keyword">try</span> {
  http2 = <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">import</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);

<p>The Core API provides a low-level interface designed specifically around
support for HTTP/2 protocol features. It is specifically <em>not</em> designed for
compatibility with the existing <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a> module API. However,
the <a href="#compatibility-api">Compatibility API</a> is.</p>
<p>The <code>http2</code> Core API is much more symmetric between client and server than the
<code>http</code> API. For instance, most events, like <code>'error'</code>, <code>'connect'</code> and
<code>'stream'</code>, can be emitted either by client-side code or server-side code.</p>
<h4>Server-side example<span><a class="mark" href="#server-side-example" id="server-side-example">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_server_side_example"></a></h4>
<p>The following illustrates a simple HTTP/2 server using the Core API.
Since there are no browsers known that support
<a href="https://http2.github.io/faq/#does-http2-require-encryption">unencrypted HTTP/2</a>, the use of
<a href="#http2createsecureserveroptions-onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createSecureServer()</code></a> is necessary when communicating
with browser clients.</p>

<div class="api_metadata">

<ul>
<li>Extends: <a href="events.html#class-eventemitter" class="type">&#x3C;EventEmitter></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Instances of the <code>http2.Http2Session</code> class represent an active communications
session between an HTTP/2 client and server. Instances of this class are <em>not</em>
intended to be constructed directly by user code.</p>
<p>Each <code>Http2Session</code> instance will exhibit slightly different behaviors
depending on whether it is operating as a server or a client. The
<code>http2session.type</code> property can be used to determine the mode in which an
<code>Http2Session</code> is operating. On the server side, user code should rarely
have occasion to work with the <code>Http2Session</code> object directly, with most
actions typically taken through interactions with either the <code>Http2Server</code> or
<code>Http2Stream</code> objects.</p>
<p>User code will not create <code>Http2Session</code> instances directly. Server-side
<code>Http2Session</code> instances are created by the <code>Http2Server</code> instance when a
new HTTP/2 connection is received. Client-side <code>Http2Session</code> instances are
created using the <code>http2.connect()</code> method.</p>
<h5><code>Http2Session</code> and sockets<span><a class="mark" href="#http2session-and-sockets" id="http2session-and-sockets">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_http2session_and_sockets"></a></h5>
<p>Every <code>Http2Session</code> instance is associated with exactly one <a href="net.html#class-netsocket"><code>net.Socket</code></a> or
<a href="tls.html#class-tlstlssocket"><code>tls.TLSSocket</code></a> when it is created. When either the <code>Socket</code> or the
<code>Http2Session</code> are destroyed, both will be destroyed.</p>
<p>Because of the specific serialization and processing requirements imposed
by the HTTP/2 protocol, it is not recommended for user code to read data from
or write data to a <code>Socket</code> instance bound to a <code>Http2Session</code>. Doing so can
put the HTTP/2 session into an indeterminate state causing the session and
the socket to become unusable.</p>
<p>Once a <code>Socket</code> has been bound to an <code>Http2Session</code>, user code should rely
solely on the API of the <code>Http2Session</code>.</p>
<h5>Event: <code>'close'</code><span><a class="mark" href="#event-close" id="event-close">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_event_close"></a></h5>
<div class="api_metadata">

<p>The <code>'close'</code> event is emitted once the <code>Http2Session</code> has been destroyed. Its
listener does not expect any arguments.</p>

</ul>
<p>The <code>'connect'</code> event is emitted once the <code>Http2Session</code> has been successfully
connected to the remote peer and communication may begin.</p>
<p>User code will typically not listen for this event directly.</p>

<p>Sending an <code>ALTSVC</code> frame with a specific stream ID indicates that the alternate
service is associated with the origin of the given <code>Http2Stream</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>alt</code> and origin string <em>must</em> contain only ASCII bytes and are
strictly interpreted as a sequence of ASCII bytes. The special value <code>'clear'</code>
may be passed to clear any previously set alternative service for a given
domain.</p>
<p>When a string is passed for the <code>originOrStream</code> argument, it will be parsed as
a URL and the origin will be derived. For instance, the origin for the
HTTP URL <code>'https://example.org/foo/bar'</code> is the ASCII string
<code>'https://example.org'</code>. An error will be thrown if either the given string
cannot be parsed as a URL or if a valid origin cannot be derived.</p>
<p>A <code>URL</code> object, or any object with an <code>origin</code> property, may be passed as

<p>The format of the <code>alt</code> parameter is strictly defined by <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7838">RFC 7838</a> as an
ASCII string containing a comma-delimited list of "alternative" protocols
associated with a specific host and port.</p>
<p>For example, the value <code>'h2="example.org:81"'</code> indicates that the HTTP/2
protocol is available on the host <code>'example.org'</code> on TCP/IP port 81. The
host and port <em>must</em> be contained within the quote (<code>"</code>) characters.</p>
<p>Multiple alternatives may be specified, for instance: <code>'h2="example.org:81", h2=":82"'</code>.</p>
<p>The protocol identifier (<code>'h2'</code> in the examples) may be any valid
<a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensiontype-values/tls-extensiontype-values.xhtml#alpn-protocol-ids">ALPN Protocol ID</a>.</p>

<p>When the <code>options.waitForTrailers</code> option is set, the <code>'wantTrailers'</code> event
is emitted immediately after queuing the last chunk of payload data to be sent.
The <code>http2stream.sendTrailers()</code> method can then be called to send trailing
headers to the peer.</p>
<p>When <code>options.waitForTrailers</code> is set, the <code>Http2Stream</code> will not automatically
close when the final <code>DATA</code> frame is transmitted. User code must call either
<code>http2stream.sendTrailers()</code> or <code>http2stream.close()</code> to close the
<code>Http2Stream</code>.</p>
<p>When <code>options.signal</code> is set with an <code>AbortSignal</code> and then <code>abort</code> on the
corresponding <code>AbortController</code> is called, the request will emit an <code>'error'</code>
event with an <code>AbortError</code> error.</p>

<p>Each instance of the <code>Http2Stream</code> class represents a bidirectional HTTP/2
communications stream over an <code>Http2Session</code> instance. Any single <code>Http2Session</code>
may have up to 2<sup>31</sup>-1 <code>Http2Stream</code> instances over its lifetime.</p>
<p>User code will not construct <code>Http2Stream</code> instances directly. Rather, these
are created, managed, and provided to user code through the <code>Http2Session</code>
instance. On the server, <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are created either in response
to an incoming HTTP request (and handed off to user code via the <code>'stream'</code>
event), or in response to a call to the <code>http2stream.pushStream()</code> method.
On the client, <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are created and returned when either the
<code>http2session.request()</code> method is called, or in response to an incoming
<code>'push'</code> event.</p>
<p>The <code>Http2Stream</code> class is a base for the <a href="#class-serverhttp2stream"><code>ServerHttp2Stream</code></a> and
<a href="#class-clienthttp2stream"><code>ClientHttp2Stream</code></a> classes, each of which is used specifically by either
the Server or Client side, respectively.</p>
<p>All <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are <a href="stream.html#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> streams. The <code>Writable</code> side of the
<code>Duplex</code> is used to send data to the connected peer, while the <code>Readable</code> side
is used to receive data sent by the connected peer.</p>
<p>The default text character encoding for an <code>Http2Stream</code> is UTF-8. When using an
<code>Http2Stream</code> to send text, use the <code>'content-type'</code> header to set the character
encoding.</p>

<p>On the server side, instances of <a href="#class-serverhttp2stream"><code>ServerHttp2Stream</code></a> are created either
when:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new HTTP/2 <code>HEADERS</code> frame with a previously unused stream ID is received;</li>
<li>The <code>http2stream.pushStream()</code> method is called.</li>
</ul>
<p>On the client side, instances of <a href="#class-clienthttp2stream"><code>ClientHttp2Stream</code></a> are created when the
<code>http2session.request()</code> method is called.</p>
<p>On the client, the <code>Http2Stream</code> instance returned by <code>http2session.request()</code>
may not be immediately ready for use if the parent <code>Http2Session</code> has not yet
been fully established. In such cases, operations called on the <code>Http2Stream</code>
will be buffered until the <code>'ready'</code> event is emitted. User code should rarely,
if ever, need to handle the <code>'ready'</code> event directly. The ready status of an
<code>Http2Stream</code> can be determined by checking the value of <code>http2stream.id</code>. If
the value is <code>undefined</code>, the stream is not yet ready for use.</p>
<h6>Destruction<span><a class="mark" href="#destruction" id="destruction">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_destruction"></a></h6>
<p>All <a href="#class-http2stream"><code>Http2Stream</code></a> instances are destroyed either when:</p>
<ul>
<li>An <code>RST_STREAM</code> frame for the stream is received by the connected peer,
and (for client streams only) pending data has been read.</li>
<li>The <code>http2stream.close()</code> method is called, and (for client streams only)
pending data has been read.</li>
<li>The <code>http2stream.destroy()</code> or <code>http2session.destroy()</code> methods are called.</li>
</ul>
<p>When an <code>Http2Stream</code> instance is destroyed, an attempt will be made to send an
<code>RST_STREAM</code> frame to the connected peer.</p>
<p>When the <code>Http2Stream</code> instance is destroyed, the <code>'close'</code> event will
be emitted. Because <code>Http2Stream</code> is an instance of <code>stream.Duplex</code>, the
<code>'end'</code> event will also be emitted if the stream data is currently flowing.
The <code>'error'</code> event may also be emitted if <code>http2stream.destroy()</code> was called
with an <code>Error</code> passed as the first argument.</p>
<p>After the <code>Http2Stream</code> has been destroyed, the <code>http2stream.destroyed</code>
property will be <code>true</code> and the <code>http2stream.rstCode</code> property will specify the
<code>RST_STREAM</code> error code. The <code>Http2Stream</code> instance is no longer usable once
destroyed.</p>

<p>If a <a href="#event-request"><code>'request'</code></a> listener is registered or <a href="#http2createserveroptions-onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createServer()</code></a> is
supplied a callback function, the <code>'checkContinue'</code> event is emitted each time
a request with an HTTP <code>Expect: 100-continue</code> is received. If this event is
not listened for, the server will automatically respond with a status
<code>100 Continue</code> as appropriate.</p>
<p>Handling this event involves calling <a href="#responsewritecontinue"><code>response.writeContinue()</code></a> if the
client should continue to send the request body, or generating an appropriate
HTTP response (e.g. 400 Bad Request) if the client should not continue to send
the request body.</p>

<p>If a <a href="#event-request"><code>'request'</code></a> listener is registered or <a href="#http2createsecureserveroptions-onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createSecureServer()</code></a>

time a request with an HTTP <code>Expect: 100-continue</code> is received. If this event
is not listened for, the server will automatically respond with a status
<code>100 Continue</code> as appropriate.</p>
<p>Handling this event involves calling <a href="#responsewritecontinue"><code>response.writeContinue()</code></a> if the
client should continue to send the request body, or generating an appropriate
HTTP response (e.g. 400 Bad Request) if the client should not continue to send

<ul>
<li><code>socket</code> <a href="stream.html#class-streamduplex" class="type">&#x3C;stream.Duplex></a></li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>'unknownProtocol'</code> event is emitted when a connecting client fails to
negotiate an allowed protocol (i.e. HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1). The event handler
receives the socket for handling. If no listener is registered for this event,
the connection is terminated. A timeout may be specified using the
<code>'unknownProtocolTimeout'</code> option passed to <a href="#http2createsecureserveroptions-onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createSecureServer()</code></a>.</p>
<p>In earlier versions of Node.js, this event would be emitted if <code>allowHTTP1</code> is
<code>false</code> and, during the TLS handshake, the client either does not send an ALPN
extension or sends an ALPN extension that does not include HTTP/2 (<code>h2</code>). Newer
versions of Node.js only emit this event if <code>allowHTTP1</code> is <code>false</code> and the
client does not send an ALPN extension. If the client sends an ALPN extension
that does not include HTTP/2 (or HTTP/1.1 if <code>allowHTTP1</code> is <code>true</code>), the TLS
handshake will fail and no secure connection will be established.</p>

<h5>Sensitive headers<span><a class="mark" href="#sensitive-headers" id="sensitive-headers">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_sensitive_headers"></a></h5>
<p>HTTP2 headers can be marked as sensitive, which means that the HTTP/2
header compression algorithm will never index them. This can make sense for
header values with low entropy and that may be considered valuable to an
attacker, for example <code>Cookie</code> or <code>Authorization</code>. To achieve this, add
the header name to the <code>[http2.sensitiveHeaders]</code> property as an array:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> headers = {
  <span class="hljs-string">':status'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'200'</span>,
  <span class="hljs-string">'content-type'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'text-plain'</span>,
  <span class="hljs-string">'cookie'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'some-cookie'</span>,
  <span class="hljs-string">'other-sensitive-header'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'very secret data'</span>,
  [http2.<span class="hljs-property">sensitiveHeaders</span>]: [<span class="hljs-string">'cookie'</span>, <span class="hljs-string">'other-sensitive-header'</span>],
};

stream.<span class="hljs-title function_">respond</span>(headers);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>For some headers, such as <code>Authorization</code> and short <code>Cookie</code> headers,
this flag is set automatically.</p>
<p>This property is also set for received headers. It will contain the names of
all headers marked as sensitive, including ones marked that way automatically.</p>

<code>http2.createServer()</code>, <code>http2.createSecureServer()</code>,
<code>http2session.settings()</code>, <code>http2session.localSettings</code>, and
<code>http2session.remoteSettings</code> APIs either return or receive as input an
object that defines configuration settings for an <code>Http2Session</code> object.
These objects are ordinary JavaScript objects containing the following
properties.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>headerTableSize</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Specifies the maximum number of bytes used for
header compression. The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value
is 2<sup>32</sup>-1. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>4096</code>.</li>
<li><code>enablePush</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type" class="type">&#x3C;boolean></a> Specifies <code>true</code> if HTTP/2 Push Streams are to be
permitted on the <code>Http2Session</code> instances. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>initialWindowSize</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Specifies the <em>sender's</em> initial window size in
bytes for stream-level flow control. The minimum allowed value is 0. The
maximum allowed value is 2<sup>32</sup>-1. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>65535</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxFrameSize</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Specifies the size in bytes of the largest frame
payload. The minimum allowed value is 16,384. The maximum allowed value is
2<sup>24</sup>-1. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>16384</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxConcurrentStreams</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Specifies the maximum number of concurrent
streams permitted on an <code>Http2Session</code>. There is no default value which
implies, at least theoretically, 2<sup>32</sup>-1 streams may be open
concurrently at any given time in an <code>Http2Session</code>. The minimum value
is 0. The maximum allowed value is 2<sup>32</sup>-1. <strong>Default:</strong>
<code>4294967295</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxHeaderListSize</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Specifies the maximum size (uncompressed octets)
of header list that will be accepted. The minimum allowed value is 0. The
maximum allowed value is 2<sup>32</sup>-1. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>65535</code>.</li>
<li><code>maxHeaderSize</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type">&#x3C;number></a> Alias for <code>maxHeaderListSize</code>.</li>
<li><code>enableConnectProtocol</code><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Boolean_type" class="type">&#x3C;boolean></a> Specifies <code>true</code> if the "Extended Connect
Protocol" defined by <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8441">RFC 8441</a> is to be enabled. This setting is only
meaningful if sent by the server. Once the <code>enableConnectProtocol</code> setting
has been enabled for a given <code>Http2Session</code>, it cannot be disabled.
<strong>Default:</strong> <code>false</code>.</li>
<li><code>customSettings</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object" class="type">&#x3C;Object></a> Specifies additional settings, yet not implemented
in node and the underlying libraries. The key of the object defines the
numeric value of the settings type (as defined in the "HTTP/2 SETTINGS"
registry established by [RFC 7540]) and the values the actual numeric value
of the settings.
The settings type has to be an integer in the range from 1 to 2^16-1.
It should not be a settings type already handled by node, i.e. currently
it should be greater than 6, although it is not an error.
The values need to be unsigned integers in the range from 0 to 2^32-1.
Currently, a maximum of up 10 custom settings is supported.
It is only supported for sending SETTINGS, or for receiving settings values
specified in the <code>remoteCustomSettings</code> options of the server or client
object. Do not mix the <code>customSettings</code>-mechanism for a settings id with
interfaces for the natively handled settings, in case a setting becomes
natively supported in a future node version.</li>
</ul>
<p>All additional properties on the settings object are ignored.</p>
<h4>Error handling<span><a class="mark" href="#error-handling" id="error-handling">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_error_handling"></a></h4>
<p>There are several types of error conditions that may arise when using the
<code>node:http2</code> module:</p>
<p>Validation errors occur when an incorrect argument, option, or setting value is
passed in. These will always be reported by a synchronous <code>throw</code>.</p>
<p>State errors occur when an action is attempted at an incorrect time (for
instance, attempting to send data on a stream after it has closed). These will
be reported using either a synchronous <code>throw</code> or via an <code>'error'</code> event on
the <code>Http2Stream</code>, <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending on where
and when the error occurs.</p>
<p>Internal errors occur when an HTTP/2 session fails unexpectedly. These will be
reported via an <code>'error'</code> event on the <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects.</p>
<p>Protocol errors occur when various HTTP/2 protocol constraints are violated.
These will be reported using either a synchronous <code>throw</code> or via an <code>'error'</code>
event on the <code>Http2Stream</code>, <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending
on where and when the error occurs.</p>
<h4>Invalid character handling in header names and values<span><a class="mark" href="#invalid-character-handling-in-header-names-and-values" id="invalid-character-handling-in-header-names-and-values">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_invalid_character_handling_in_header_names_and_values"></a></h4>
<p>The HTTP/2 implementation applies stricter handling of invalid characters in
HTTP header names and values than the HTTP/1 implementation.</p>
<p>Header field names are <em>case-insensitive</em> and are transmitted over the wire
strictly as lower-case strings. The API provided by Node.js allows header
names to be set as mixed-case strings (e.g. <code>Content-Type</code>) but will convert
those to lower-case (e.g. <code>content-type</code>) upon transmission.</p>
<p>Header field-names <em>must only</em> contain one or more of the following ASCII
characters: <code>a</code>-<code>z</code>, <code>A</code>-<code>Z</code>, <code>0</code>-<code>9</code>, <code>!</code>, <code>#</code>, <code>$</code>, <code>%</code>, <code>&#x26;</code>, <code>'</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>+</code>,
<code>-</code>, <code>.</code>, <code>^</code>, <code>_</code>, <code>`</code> (backtick), <code>|</code>, and <code>~</code>.</p>
<p>Using invalid characters within an HTTP header field name will cause the
stream to be closed with a protocol error being reported.</p>
<p>Header field values are handled with more leniency but <em>should</em> not contain
new-line or carriage return characters and <em>should</em> be limited to US-ASCII
characters, per the requirements of the HTTP specification.</p>

<p>The Compatibility API has the goal of providing a similar developer experience
of HTTP/1 when using HTTP/2, making it possible to develop applications
that support both <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a> and HTTP/2. This API targets only the
<strong>public API</strong> of the <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a>. However many modules use internal
methods or state, and those <em>are not supported</em> as it is a completely
different implementation.</p>
<p>The following example creates an HTTP/2 server using the compatibility
API:</p>

<p>In order to create a mixed <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2 server, refer to the
<a href="#alpn-negotiation">ALPN negotiation</a> section.
Upgrading from non-tls HTTP/1 servers is not supported.</p>
<p>The HTTP/2 compatibility API is composed of <a href="#class-http2http2serverrequest"><code>Http2ServerRequest</code></a> and
<a href="#class-http2http2serverresponse"><code>Http2ServerResponse</code></a>. They aim at API compatibility with HTTP/1, but
they do not hide the differences between the protocols. As an example,
the status message for HTTP codes is ignored.</p>
<h4>ALPN negotiation<span><a class="mark" href="#alpn-negotiation" id="alpn-negotiation">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_alpn_negotiation"></a></h4>
<p>ALPN negotiation allows supporting both <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2 over
the same socket. The <code>req</code> and <code>res</code> objects can be either HTTP/1 or
HTTP/2, and an application <strong>must</strong> restrict itself to the public API of
<a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a>, and detect if it is possible to use the more advanced
features of HTTP/2.</p>
<p>The following example creates a server that supports both protocols:</p>

<p>If this method is called and <a href="#responsewriteheadstatuscode-statusmessage-headers"><code>response.writeHead()</code></a> has not been called,
it will switch to implicit header mode and flush the implicit headers.</p>
<p>This sends a chunk of the response body. This method may
be called multiple times to provide successive parts of the body.</p>
<p>In the <code>node:http</code> module, the response body is omitted when the
request is a HEAD request. Similarly, the <code>204</code> and <code>304</code> responses
<em>must not</em> include a message body.</p>
<p><code>chunk</code> can be a string or a buffer. If <code>chunk</code> is a string,
the second parameter specifies how to encode it into a byte stream.
By default the <code>encoding</code> is <code>'utf8'</code>. <code>callback</code> will be called when this chunk
of data is flushed.</p>
<p>This is the raw HTTP body and has nothing to do with higher-level multi-part
body encodings that may be used.</p>
<p>The first time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, it will send the buffered
header information and the first chunk of the body to the client. The second
time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, Node.js assumes data will be streamed,
and sends the new data separately. That is, the response is buffered up to the
first chunk of the body.</p>

buffer. Returns <code>false</code> if all or part of the data was queued in user memory.
<code>'drain'</code> will be emitted when the buffer is free again.</p>

<p>Sends a response header to the request. The status code is a 3-digit HTTP
status code, like <code>404</code>. The last argument, <code>headers</code>, are the response headers.</p>
<p>Returns a reference to the <code>Http2ServerResponse</code>, so that calls can be chained.</p>
<p>For compatibility with <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a>, a human-readable <code>statusMessage</code> may be
passed as the second argument. However, because the <code>statusMessage</code> has no
meaning within HTTP/2, the argument will have no effect and a process warning

<p><code>Content-Length</code> is given in bytes not characters. The
<code>Buffer.byteLength()</code> API may be used to determine the number of bytes in a

and the length of the body being transmitted are equal or not. However, when
receiving messages, Node.js will automatically reject messages when the
<code>Content-Length</code> does not match the actual payload size.</p>

<p>HTTP/2 requires requests to have either the <code>:authority</code> pseudo-header
or the <code>host</code> header. Prefer <code>:authority</code> when constructing an HTTP/2
request directly, and <code>host</code> when converting from HTTP/1 (in proxies,
for instance).</p>
<p>The compatibility API falls back to <code>host</code> if <code>:authority</code> is not
present. See <a href="#requestauthority"><code>request.authority</code></a> for more information. However,
if you don't use the compatibility API (or use <code>req.headers</code> directly),
you need to implement any fall-back behavior yourself.</p></section>
