HTTP/2 Now Fully Supported in NGINX Plus
================================================================================
Earlier this week we released [NGINX Plus R7][1] with support for HTTP/2. As the latest standard for the HTTP protocol, HTTP/2 is designed to bring increased performance and security to modern web applications.
The HTTP/2 implementation in NGINX Plus works seamlessly with existing sites and applications. Minimal changes are required, as NGINX Plus delivers HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 traffic in parallel for the best experience, no matter what browser your users choose.
HTTP/2 support is available in the optional **nginxplushttp2** package only. The **nginxplus** and **nginxplusextras** packages provide SPDY support and are currently recommended for production sites because of wider browser support and code maturity.
### Why Move to HTTP/2? ###
HTTP/2 makes data transfer more efficient and more secure for your applications. HTTP/2 adds five key features that improve performance when compared to HTTP/1.x:
- **True multiplexing** HTTP/1.1 enforces strict in-order completion of requests that come in over a keepalive connection. A request must be satisfied before processing on the next one can begin. HTTP/2 eliminates this requirement and allows requests to be satisfied in parallel and out of order.
- **Single, persistent connection** As HTTP/2 allows for true multiplexing of requests, all objects on a web page can now be downloaded in parallel over a single connection. WIth HTTP/1.x, multiple connections are used to download resources in parallel, leading to inefficient use of the underlying TCP protocol.
- **Binary encoding** Header information is sent in compact, binary format, rather than plain text, saving bytes on the wire.
- **Header compression** Headers are compressed using a purpose-built algorithm, HPACK compression, which further reduces the amount of data crossing the network.
- **SSL/TLS encryption** With HTTP/2, SSL/TLS encryption is mandatory. This is not enforced in the [RFC][2], which allows for plain-text HTTP/2, but rather by all web browsers that currently implement HTTP/2. SSL/TLS makes your site more secure, and with all the performance improvements in HTTP/2, the performance penalty from encryption and decryption is mitigated.
To learn more about HTTP/2:

### How NGINX Plus Implements HTTP/2 ###
Our implementation of HTTP/2 is based on our support for SPDY, which is widely deployed (nearly 75% of websites that use SPDY use NGINX or NGINX Plus). With NGINX Plus, you can deploy HTTP/2 with very little change to your application infrastructure. This section discusses how NGINX Plus implements support for HTTP/2.
#### An HTTP/2 Gateway ####
![](https://www.nginx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/http2-27-1024x300.png)
NGINX Plus acts an HTTP/2 gateway. It talks HTTP/2 to client web browsers that support it, but translates HTTP/2 requests back to HTTP/1.x (or FastCGI, SCGI, uWSGI, etc. whatever protocol you are currently using) for communication with back-end servers.
#### Backward Compatibility ####
![](https://www.nginx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/http2-281-1024x581.png)
For the foreseeable future youll need to support HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.x side by side. As of this writing, over 50% of users already run a web browser that [supports HTTP/2][5], but this also means almost 50% dont.
To support both HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 side by side, NGINX Plus implements the Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension to TLS. When a web browser connects to a server, it sends a list of supported protocols to the server. If the browser includes h2 that is, HTTP/2 in the list of supported protocols, NGINX Plus uses HTTP/2 for connections to that browser. If the browser doesnt implement NPN, or doesnt send h2 in its list of supported protocols, NGINX Plus falls back to HTTP/1.x.
### Moving to HTTP/2 ###
NGINX, Inc. aims to make the transition to HTTP/2 as seamless as possible. This section goes through the changes that need to be made to enable HTTP/2 for your applications, which include just a few changes to the configuration of NGINX Plus.
#### Prerequisites ####
Upgrade to the NGINX Plus R7 **nginxplushttp2** package. Note that an HTTP/2-enabled version of the **nginxplusextras** package is not available at this time.
#### Redirecting All Traffic to SSL/TLS ####
If your app is not already encrypted with SSL/TLS, now would be a good time to make that move. Encrypting your app protects you from spying as well as from man-in-the-middle attacks. Some search engines even reward encrypted sites with [improved rankings][6] in search results. The following configuration block redirects all plain HTTP requests to the encrypted version of the site.
server {
listen 80;
location / {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
}
#### Enabling HTTP/2 ####
To enable HTTP/2 support, simply add the http2 parameter to all [listen][7] directives. Also include the ssl parameter, required because browsers do not support HTTP/2 without encryption.
server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
ssl_certificate server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key server.key;
}
If necessary, restart NGINX Plus, for example by running the nginx -s reload command. To verify that HTTP/2 translation is working, you can use the “HTTP/2 and SPDY indicator” plug-in available for [Google Chrome][8] and [Firefox][9].
### Caveats ###
- Before installing the **nginxplushttp2** package, you must remove the spdy parameter on all listen directives in your configuration (replace it with the http2 and ssl parameters to enable support for HTTP/2). With this package, NGINX Plus fails to start if any listen directives have the spdy parameter.
- If you are using a web application firewall (WAF) that is sitting in front of NGINX Plus, ensure that it is capable of parsing HTTP/2, or move it behind NGINX Plus.
- The “Server Push” feature defined in the HTTP/2 RFC is not supported in this release. Future releases of NGINX Plus might include it.
- NGINX Plus R7 supports both SPDY and HTTP/2. In a future release we will deprecate support for SPDY. Google is [deprecating SPDY][10] in early 2016, making it unnecessary to support both protocols at that point.
- If [ssl_prefer_server_ciphers][11] is set to on and/or a list of [ssl_ciphers][12] that are defined in [Appendix A: TLS 1.2 Ciper Suite Black List][13] is used, the browser will experience handshake-errors and not work. Please refer to [section 9.2.2 of the HTTP/2 RFC][14] for more details.-
### Special Thanks ###
NGINX, Inc. would like to thank [Dropbox][15] and [Automattic][16], who are heavy users of our software and graciously cosponsored the development of our HTTP/2 implementation. Their contributions have helped accelerate our ability to bring this software to you, and we hope you are able to support them in turn.
