It's doing ALPN, but it's only sending http/1.1 in it. It's not offering h2 by default. On the other hand when I use "curl" it does use h2. I don't think the library enables it by default. > I don't think we want to implement http/2 support in apt at > all - implementing the binary framing, multiplexing, header > compression, and all the other stuff is a lot of work.

I guess my main motivation for asking for this is to try and do something about traffic analysis, and I think you can make it harder using http/2. Kurt
