nginx http2 configuration

HTTP 2.0, Hypertext Transfer Protocol 2.0, is the next generation of HTTP protocol. It was developed by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis (httpbis) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It is the first update since http1.1 was released in 1999.
The HTTP/2 protocol evolved from SPDY. SPDY has completed its mission and will soon withdraw from the stage of history (for example, Chrome will end support for SPDY in early 2016); Nginx and Apache have also fully supported HTTP/2 , and SPDY is no longer supported).

Generally, everyone refers to HTTP2 as h2. Although some friends may not be willing to do so, this abbreviation has become the default, especially since browsers use this abbreviation for HTTP2.

1: Installation of nginx

http2 requires ssl support. The required software packages are as follows

nginx-1.9.12.tar.gz
openssl-1.0.1s.tar.gz
pcre-8.38.zip
zlib- 1.2.8.tar.gz

The default compiled nginx does not include the http2 module. So when compiling nginx, you need to enable at least the two modules http_v2_module and http_ssl_module

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-zlib=/tmp/2/zlib-1.2.8 --with-pcre=/tmp/2/pcre-8.38 --with-http_v2_module --with-http_ssl_module  --with-openssl=/tmp/2/openssl-1.0.1s

Note that the source code package path of openssl, pcre, zlib is specified, not the path after installation

Then

make

make install

Two: Use openssl to create an SSL certificate

Three: nginx configuration

server {
        listen       443 ssl http2;
        server_name  http2.yuni.com;

        ssl_certificate      /usr/local/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key  /usr/local/nginx/ssl/server.key;

        ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
        ssl_session_timeout  5m;

        ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off; 

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }
}

Save and exit, then start nginx

Four: Test

It is best to use the latest versions of chrome and firefox browsers. I use chrome v49 here

Configure http2.yuni.com in local hosts to point to the nginx IP address

Then, visit https://http2 .yuni.com Note, be sure to use https

to view nginx’s access.log log

The above introduces the nginx http2 configuration, including the relevant aspects. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
