<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides the features used for
    proxying HTTP/2 requests. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_http2.html">mod_proxy_http2</a></code>
    supports HTTP/2 only. It does <em>not</em>
    provide any downgrades to HTTP/1.1.</p>

    <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling HTTP/2 proxy requests,
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_http2.html">mod_proxy_http2</a></code>
    have to be present in the server.</p>

    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_http2.html">mod_proxy_http2</a></code> works with incoming requests
    over HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests. If <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_http2.html">mod_http2</a></code>
    handles the frontend connection, requests against the same HTTP/2
    backend are sent over a single connection, whenever possible.</p>

    <p>This module relies on <a href="http://nghttp2.org/">libnghttp2</a>
    to provide the core http/2 engine.</p>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
        <p>This module is experimental. Its behaviors, directives, and 
        defaults are subject to more change from release to 
        release relative to other standard modules. Users are encouraged to 
        consult the "CHANGES" file for potential updates.</p>
    </div>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
      <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
      servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
      large.</p>
