It can be accessed using:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2');</code></pre> <h2>Core API<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_core_api" id="http2_core_api">#</a></span></h2> <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="#http2_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> <h3>Server-side example<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_server_side_example" id="http2_server_side_example">#</a></span></h3> <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="#http2_http2_createsecureserver_options_onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createSecureServer()</code></a> is necessary when communicating with browser clients.</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2'); const fs = require('fs'); const server = http2.createSecureServer({ key: fs.readFileSync('localhost-privkey.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('localhost-cert.pem') }); server.on('error', (err) => console.error(err)); server.on('stream', (stream, headers) => { // stream is a Duplex stream.respond({ 'content-type': 'text/html', ':status': 200 }); stream.end('<h1>Hello World</h1>'); }); server.listen(8443);</code></pre> <p>To generate the certificate and key for this example, run:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=localhost' \ -keyout localhost-privkey.pem -out localhost-cert.pem</code></pre> <h3>Client-side example<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_client_side_example" id="http2_client_side_example">#</a></span></h3> <p>The following illustrates an HTTP/2 client:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2'); const fs = require('fs'); const client = http2.connect('https://localhost:8443', { ca: fs.readFileSync('localhost-cert.pem') }); client.on('error', (err) => console.error(err)); const req = client.request({ ':path': '/' }); req.on('response', (headers, flags) => { for (const name in headers) { console.log(`${name}: ${headers[name]}`); } }); req.setEncoding('utf8'); let data = ''; req.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; }); req.on('end', () => { console.log(`\n${data}`); client.close(); }); req.end();</code></pre> <h3>Class: Http2Session<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_class_http2session" id="http2_class_http2session">#</a></span></h3> <div class="api_metadata"> <span>Added in: v8.4.0</span> </div><ul> <li>Extends: <a href="events.html#events_class_eventemitter" class="type"><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> <h4>Http2Session and Sockets<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_http2session_and_sockets" id="http2_http2session_and_sockets">#</a></span></h4> <p>Every <code>Http2Session</code> instance is associated with exactly one <a href="net.html#net_class_net_socket"><code>net.Socket</code></a> or <a href="tls.html#tls_class_tls_tlssocket"><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> <h4>Event: 'close'<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_event_close" id="http2_event_close">#</a></span></h4> <div class="api_metadata"> <span>Added in: v8.4.0</span> </div><p>The <code>'close'</code> event is emitted once the <code>Http2Session</code> has been destroyed.

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> <h3>Invalid character handling in header names and values<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_invalid_character_handling_in_header_names_and_values" id="http2_invalid_character_handling_in_header_names_and_values">#</a></span></h3> <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>&</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> <h3>Push streams on the client<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_push_streams_on_the_client" id="http2_push_streams_on_the_client">#</a></span></h3> <p>To receive pushed streams on the client, set a listener for the <code>'stream'</code> event on the <code>ClientHttp2Session</code>:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2');

const settings = { enableConnectProtocol: true }; const server = http2.createServer({ settings });</code></pre> <p>Once the client receives the <code>SETTINGS</code> frame from the server indicating that the extended CONNECT may be used, it may send <code>CONNECT</code> requests that use the <code>':protocol'</code> HTTP/2 pseudo-header:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2');

// ... } });</code></pre> <h2>Compatibility API<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_compatibility_api" id="http2_compatibility_api">#</a></span></h2> <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> <pre><code class="language-js">const http2 = require('http2'); const server = http2.createServer((req, res) => { res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html'); res.setHeader('X-Foo', 'bar'); res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }); res.end('ok'); });</code></pre> <p>In order to create a mixed <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2 server, refer to the <a href="#http2_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=""><code>Http2ServerRequest</code></a> and <a href=""><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> <h3>ALPN negotiation<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_alpn_negotiation" id="http2_alpn_negotiation">#</a></span></h3> <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> <pre><code class="language-js">const { createSecureServer } = require('http2'); const { readFileSync } = require('fs'); const cert = readFileSync('./cert.pem'); const key = readFileSync('./key.pem'); const server = createSecureServer( { cert, key, allowHTTP1: true }, onRequest ).listen(4443); function onRequest(req, res) { // detects if it is a HTTPS request or HTTP/2 const { socket: { alpnProtocol } } = req.httpVersion === '2.0' ? req.stream.session : req; res.writeHead(200, { 'content-type': 'application/json' }); res.end(JSON.stringify({ alpnProtocol, httpVersion: req.httpVersion })); }</code></pre> <p>The <code>'request'</code> event works identically on both <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2.</p> <h3>Class: http2.Http2ServerRequest<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_class_http2_http2serverrequest" id="http2_class_http2_http2serverrequest">#</a></span></h3> <div class="api_metadata"> <span>Added in: v8.4.0</span> </div><p>A <code>Http2ServerRequest</code> object is created by <a href="#http2_class_http2server"><code>http2.Server</code></a> or <a href="#http2_class_http2secureserver"><code>http2.SecureServer</code></a> and passed as the first argument to the <a href="#http2_event_request"><code>'request'</code></a> event.

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> <h4>response.writeContinue()<span><a class="mark" href="#http2_response_writecontinue" id="http2_response_writecontinue">#</a></span></h4> <div class="api_metadata"> <span>Added in: v8.4.0</span> </div><p>Sends a status <code>100 Continue</code> to the client, indicating that the request body should be sent.

The <code>Buffer.byteLength()</code> API may be used to determine the number of bytes in a given encoding.
