735<p>The <code>node:http2</code> module provides an implementation of the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540">HTTP/2</a> protocol.
736It can be accessed using:</p>
737<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> http2 = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>

739<p>It is possible for Node.js to be built without including support for the
740<code>node:crypto</code> module. In such cases, attempting to <code>import</code> from <code>node:http2</code> or
741calling <code>require('node:http2')</code> will result in an error being thrown.</p>
742<p>When using CommonJS, the error thrown can be caught using try/catch:</p>
743<pre><code class="language-js cjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> http2;
744<span class="hljs-keyword">try</span> {
745  http2 = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);
746} <span class="hljs-keyword">catch</span> (err) {
747  <span class="hljs-variable language_">console</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">error</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'http2 support is disabled!'</span>);
748}</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
749<p>When using the lexical ESM <code>import</code> keyword, the error can only be
750caught if a handler for <code>process.on('uncaughtException')</code> is registered
751<em>before</em> any attempt to load the module is made (using, for instance,
752a preload module).</p>
753<p>When using ESM, if there is a chance that the code may be run on a build
754of Node.js where crypto support is not enabled, consider using the
755<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import"><code>import()</code></a> function instead of the lexical <code>import</code> keyword:</p>
756<pre><code class="language-js mjs"><span class="hljs-keyword">let</span> http2;

763<p>The Core API provides a low-level interface designed specifically around
764support for HTTP/2 protocol features. It is specifically <em>not</em> designed for
765compatibility with the existing <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a> module API. However,
766the <a href="#compatibility-api">Compatibility API</a> is.</p>
767<p>The <code>http2</code> Core API is much more symmetric between client and server than the
768<code>http</code> API. For instance, most events, like <code>'error'</code>, <code>'connect'</code> and
769<code>'stream'</code>, can be emitted either by client-side code or server-side code.</p>
770<h4>Server-side example<span><a class="mark" href="#server-side-example" id="server-side-example">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_server_side_example"></a></h4>
771<p>The following illustrates a simple HTTP/2 server using the Core API.
772Since there are no browsers known that support
773<a href="https://http2.github.io/faq/#does-http2-require-encryption">unencrypted HTTP/2</a>, the use of
774<a href="#http2createsecureserveroptions-onrequesthandler"><code>http2.createSecureServer()</code></a> is necessary when communicating

830<p>Instances of the <code>http2.Http2Session</code> class represent an active communications
831session between an HTTP/2 client and server. Instances of this class are <em>not</em>
832intended to be constructed directly by user code.</p>
833<p>Each <code>Http2Session</code> instance will exhibit slightly different behaviors
834depending on whether it is operating as a server or a client. The
835<code>http2session.type</code> property can be used to determine the mode in which an
836<code>Http2Session</code> is operating. On the server side, user code should rarely
837have occasion to work with the <code>Http2Session</code> object directly, with most
838actions typically taken through interactions with either the <code>Http2Server</code> or
839<code>Http2Stream</code> objects.</p>
840<p>User code will not create <code>Http2Session</code> instances directly. Server-side
841<code>Http2Session</code> instances are created by the <code>Http2Server</code> instance when a
842new HTTP/2 connection is received. Client-side <code>Http2Session</code> instances are
843created using the <code>http2.connect()</code> method.</p>
844<h5><code>Http2Session</code> and sockets<span><a class="mark" href="#http2session-and-sockets" id="http2session-and-sockets">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_http2session_and_sockets"></a></h5>
845<p>Every <code>Http2Session</code> instance is associated with exactly one <a href="net.html#class-netsocket"><code>net.Socket</code></a> or
846<a href="tls.html#class-tlstlssocket"><code>tls.TLSSocket</code></a> when it is created. When either the <code>Socket</code> or the
847<code>Http2Session</code> are destroyed, both will be destroyed.</p>
848<p>Because of the specific serialization and processing requirements imposed
849by the HTTP/2 protocol, it is not recommended for user code to read data from
850or write data to a <code>Socket</code> instance bound to a <code>Http2Session</code>. Doing so can
851put the HTTP/2 session into an indeterminate state causing the session and
852the socket to become unusable.</p>
853<p>Once a <code>Socket</code> has been bound to an <code>Http2Session</code>, user code should rely
854solely on the API of the <code>Http2Session</code>.</p>

1541communications stream over an <code>Http2Session</code> instance. Any single <code>Http2Session</code>
1542may have up to 2<sup>31</sup>-1 <code>Http2Stream</code> instances over its lifetime.</p>
1543<p>User code will not construct <code>Http2Stream</code> instances directly. Rather, these
1544are created, managed, and provided to user code through the <code>Http2Session</code>
1545instance. On the server, <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are created either in response
1546to an incoming HTTP request (and handed off to user code via the <code>'stream'</code>
1547event), or in response to a call to the <code>http2stream.pushStream()</code> method.
1548On the client, <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are created and returned when either the
1549<code>http2session.request()</code> method is called, or in response to an incoming
1550<code>'push'</code> event.</p>
1551<p>The <code>Http2Stream</code> class is a base for the <a href="#class-serverhttp2stream"><code>ServerHttp2Stream</code></a> and
1552<a href="#class-clienthttp2stream"><code>ClientHttp2Stream</code></a> classes, each of which is used specifically by either
1553the Server or Client side, respectively.</p>
1554<p>All <code>Http2Stream</code> instances are <a href="stream.html#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> streams. The <code>Writable</code> side of the

1556is used to receive data sent by the connected peer.</p>
1557<p>The default text character encoding for an <code>Http2Stream</code> is UTF-8. When using an

1570<li>The <code>http2stream.pushStream()</code> method is called.</li>

1572<p>On the client side, instances of <a href="#class-clienthttp2stream"><code>ClientHttp2Stream</code></a> are created when the
1573<code>http2session.request()</code> method is called.</p>
1574<p>On the client, the <code>Http2Stream</code> instance returned by <code>http2session.request()</code>
1575may not be immediately ready for use if the parent <code>Http2Session</code> has not yet
1576been fully established. In such cases, operations called on the <code>Http2Stream</code>
1577will be buffered until the <code>'ready'</code> event is emitted. User code should rarely,
1578if ever, need to handle the <code>'ready'</code> event directly. The ready status of an

1587pending data has been read.</li>
1588<li>The <code>http2stream.destroy()</code> or <code>http2session.destroy()</code> methods are called.</li>
1589</ul>
1590<p>When an <code>Http2Stream</code> instance is destroyed, an attempt will be made to send an
1591<code>RST_STREAM</code> frame to the connected peer.</p>
1592<p>When the <code>Http2Stream</code> instance is destroyed, the <code>'close'</code> event will
1593be emitted. Because <code>Http2Stream</code> is an instance of <code>stream.Duplex</code>, the
1594<code>'end'</code> event will also be emitted if the stream data is currently flowing.
1595The <code>'error'</code> event may also be emitted if <code>http2stream.destroy()</code> was called
1596with an <code>Error</code> passed as the first argument.</p>
1597<p>After the <code>Http2Stream</code> has been destroyed, the <code>http2stream.destroyed</code>
1598property will be <code>true</code> and the <code>http2stream.rstCode</code> property will specify the

3223<p>HTTP2 headers can be marked as sensitive, which means that the HTTP/2
3224header compression algorithm will never index them. This can make sense for
3225header values with low entropy and that may be considered valuable to an
3226attacker, for example <code>Cookie</code> or <code>Authorization</code>. To achieve this, add
3227the header name to the <code>[http2.sensitiveHeaders]</code> property as an array:</p>
3228<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> headers = {
3229  <span class="hljs-string">':status'</span>: <span class="hljs-string">'200'</span>,

3237<p>For some headers, such as <code>Authorization</code> and short <code>Cookie</code> headers,
3238this flag is set automatically.</p>
3239<p>This property is also set for received headers. It will contain the names of
3240all headers marked as sensitive, including ones marked that way automatically.</p>

3291<h4>Error handling<span><a class="mark" href="#error-handling" id="error-handling">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_error_handling"></a></h4>
3292<p>There are several types of error conditions that may arise when using the
3293<code>node:http2</code> module:</p>
3294<p>Validation errors occur when an incorrect argument, option, or setting value is
3295passed in. These will always be reported by a synchronous <code>throw</code>.</p>
3296<p>State errors occur when an action is attempted at an incorrect time (for
3297instance, attempting to send data on a stream after it has closed). These will
3298be reported using either a synchronous <code>throw</code> or via an <code>'error'</code> event on
3299the <code>Http2Stream</code>, <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending on where
3300and when the error occurs.</p>
3301<p>Internal errors occur when an HTTP/2 session fails unexpectedly. These will be
3302reported via an <code>'error'</code> event on the <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects.</p>
3303<p>Protocol errors occur when various HTTP/2 protocol constraints are violated.
3304These will be reported using either a synchronous <code>throw</code> or via an <code>'error'</code>
3305event on the <code>Http2Stream</code>, <code>Http2Session</code> or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending
3306on where and when the error occurs.</p>
3307<h4>Invalid character handling in header names and values<span><a class="mark" href="#invalid-character-handling-in-header-names-and-values" id="invalid-character-handling-in-header-names-and-values">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_invalid_character_handling_in_header_names_and_values"></a></h4>
3308<p>The HTTP/2 implementation applies stricter handling of invalid characters in
3309HTTP header names and values than the HTTP/1 implementation.</p>
3310<p>Header field names are <em>case-insensitive</em> and are transmitted over the wire
3311strictly as lower-case strings. The API provided by Node.js allows header
3312names to be set as mixed-case strings (e.g. <code>Content-Type</code>) but will convert
3313those to lower-case (e.g. <code>content-type</code>) upon transmission.</p>
3314<p>Header field-names <em>must only</em> contain one or more of the following ASCII
3315characters: <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>&#x26;</code>, <code>'</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>+</code>,
3316<code>-</code>, <code>.</code>, <code>^</code>, <code>_</code>, <code>`</code> (backtick), <code>|</code>, and <code>~</code>.</p>
3317<p>Using invalid characters within an HTTP header field name will cause the
3318stream to be closed with a protocol error being reported.</p>
3319<p>Header field values are handled with more leniency but <em>should</em> not contain
3320new-line or carriage return characters and <em>should</em> be limited to US-ASCII
3321characters, per the requirements of the HTTP specification.</p>

3421<p>The Compatibility API has the goal of providing a similar developer experience
3422of HTTP/1 when using HTTP/2, making it possible to develop applications
3423that support both <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a> and HTTP/2. This API targets only the
3424<strong>public API</strong> of the <a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a>. However many modules use internal
3425methods or state, and those <em>are not supported</em> as it is a completely
3426different implementation.</p>
3427<p>The following example creates an HTTP/2 server using the compatibility
3428API:</p>
3429<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> http2 = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:http2'</span>);

3436<p>In order to create a mixed <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2 server, refer to the
3437<a href="#alpn-negotiation">ALPN negotiation</a> section.
3438Upgrading from non-tls HTTP/1 servers is not supported.</p>
3439<p>The HTTP/2 compatibility API is composed of <a href="#class-http2http2serverrequest"><code>Http2ServerRequest</code></a> and
3440<a href="#class-http2http2serverresponse"><code>Http2ServerResponse</code></a>. They aim at API compatibility with HTTP/1, but
3441they do not hide the differences between the protocols. As an example,
3442the status message for HTTP codes is ignored.</p>
3443<h4>ALPN negotiation<span><a class="mark" href="#alpn-negotiation" id="alpn-negotiation">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="http2_alpn_negotiation"></a></h4>
3444<p>ALPN negotiation allows supporting both <a href="https.html">HTTPS</a> and HTTP/2 over
3445the same socket. The <code>req</code> and <code>res</code> objects can be either HTTP/1 or
3446HTTP/2, and an application <strong>must</strong> restrict itself to the public API of
3447<a href="http.html">HTTP/1</a>, and detect if it is possible to use the more advanced
3448features of HTTP/2.</p>
3449<p>The following example creates a server that supports both protocols:</p>

4032it will switch to implicit header mode and flush the implicit headers.</p>
4033<p>This sends a chunk of the response body. This method may
4034be called multiple times to provide successive parts of the body.</p>
4035<p>In the <code>node:http</code> module, the response body is omitted when the

4037<em>must not</em> include a message body.</p>
4038<p><code>chunk</code> can be a string or a buffer. If <code>chunk</code> is a string,
4039the second parameter specifies how to encode it into a byte stream.
4040By default the <code>encoding</code> is <code>'utf8'</code>. <code>callback</code> will be called when this chunk
4041of data is flushed.</p>
4042<p>This is the raw HTTP body and has nothing to do with higher-level multi-part
4043body encodings that may be used.</p>
4044<p>The first time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, it will send the buffered
4045header information and the first chunk of the body to the client. The second
4046time <a href="#responsewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>response.write()</code></a> is called, Node.js assumes data will be streamed,
4047and sends the new data separately. That is, the response is buffered up to the
4048first chunk of the body.</p>
4049<p>Returns <code>true</code> if the entire data was flushed successfully to the kernel
4050buffer. Returns <code>false</code> if all or part of the data was queued in user memory.

4189<p>HTTP/2 requires requests to have either the <code>:authority</code> pseudo-header
4190or the <code>host</code> header. Prefer <code>:authority</code> when constructing an HTTP/2
4191request directly, and <code>host</code> when converting from HTTP/1 (in proxies,
4192for instance).</p>
4193<p>The compatibility API falls back to <code>host</code> if <code>:authority</code> is not
4194present. See <a href="#requestauthority"><code>request.authority</code></a> for more information. However,
4195if you don't use the compatibility API (or use <code>req.headers</code> directly),
4196you need to implement any fall-back behavior yourself.</p></section>
