[Bug 1567697] Re: libcurl is missing http2 support

[Fredrik Jonson]

It appears that this issue has been quietly resolved now:

  user at localhost:~$  dpkg -l libcurl4 curl|grep ii
  ii  curl           7.61.0-1ubuntu2.3 amd64        command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax
  ii  libcurl4:amd64 7.61.0-1ubuntu2.3 amd64        easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (OpenSSL flavour)

  user at localhost:~$ curl -I --http2 https://http2.akamai.com/demo|tee

Title:
  libcurl is missing http2 support

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  libcurl supports HTTP/2.0 through libnghttp2, but the package on
  Ubuntu is not compiled with it.

  Alternatively, a libcurl4-(gnutls|openssl)-nghttp2 might be a good
  idea.

  See also: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http2.html

  curl CLI tool should not need an update, as it already has the
  commandline switches, but when you use them it comes back with
  unsupported protocol.

  drwilco at eris:~$ curl --http2 www.google.com
  curl: (1) Unsupported protocol

  
  drwilco at eris:~$ lsb_release -rd
