Bug Description
Hi *
I would like to do request for the implementation of the most recent stable version of the nghttp2. Now it is 1.9.1.
In the raw of latest releases (https:/
For benchmark tool (h2load):
•h2load: Fix bug that it did not try to connect to server again
•h2load: Fix bug that initial max concurrent streams was too large
Using 1.7.1 I had couple issues with those bugs during benchmarking all available protocols.
Most important improvements were done in the proxy part (only 1.9.1).
•nghttpx: Memcached connection encryption with tls keyword
•nghttpx: Enable/disable TLS per frontend address
•nghttpx: Configure TLS per backend routing pattern
•nghttpx: Workaround for Ubuntu 15.04 which does not value-initialize on std::make_shared.
•nghttpx: Add --error-page option to set custom error pages
•nghttpx: Add wildcard host routing
•nghttpx: Change read timeout reset timing
•nghttpx: Don't push if Link header field includes nopush
•nghttpx: Deprecate backend-
•nghttpx: Restructure mode settings, removing --http2-bridge, --client, and --client-proxy options
•nghttpx: Deprecate backend-
•nghttpx: Don't share session which is already in draining state
•nghttpx: Effectively disable backend HTTP/2 connection flow control
•nghttpx: Add --frontend-
•nghttpx: Deprecate --backend-
•nghttpx: Share TLS session cache between HTTP/2 and HTTP/1 backend
•nghttpx: Rewrite backend HTTP/2 connection coalesce strategy
The difference between 1.7.1 and 1.9.1 in functionality and stability are greater then I copypaste it here. Please check changelogs:

I would like to point your attention to fact that at this moment I could not find any simple, stable and lightweight working forward proxy server with HTTP/2 capabilities except nghttpx.
Based on this reasons, I think to build a new package with most recent stable version of nghttp2 and all related parts is useful for upcoming LTS release.
