Yes, how can we do this? I find it crazy that Canonical doesn't want to officially support HTTP/2 in curl. Debian's curl is built with it for example. People shouldn't need to rebuild curl to have HTTP/2 support, it's not so experimental anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1567697 Title: libcurl is missing http2 support Status in curl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: libcurl supports HTTP/2.0 through libnghttp2, but the package on Ubuntu is not compiled with it.
