Programs that must disable HTTP/2 83 can do so by setting Transport.TLSNextProto (for clients) or 84 Server.TLSNextProto (for servers) to a non-nil, empty 85 map. Alternatively, the following GODEBUG environment variables are 86 currently supported: 87 88 GODEBUG=http2client=0 # disable HTTP/2 client support 89 GODEBUG=http2server=0 # disable HTTP/2 server support 90 GODEBUG=http2debug=1 # enable verbose HTTP/2 debug logs 91 GODEBUG=http2debug=2 # ... even more verbose, with frame dumps 92 93 The GODEBUG variables are not covered by Go's API compatibility 94 promise. Please report any issues before disabling HTTP/2 95 support: https://golang.org/s/http2bug 96 97 The http package's Transport and Server both automatically enable 98 HTTP/2 support for simple configurations. To enable HTTP/2 for more 99 complex configurations, to use lower-level HTTP/2 features, or to use 100 a newer version of Go's http2 package, import "golang.org/x/net/http2" 101 directly and use its ConfigureTransport and/or ConfigureServer 102 functions. Manually configuring HTTP/2 via the golang.org/x/net/http2 103 package takes precedence over the net/http package's built-in HTTP/2 104 support. 105 106 */ 107 package http 108
