Simplest, bare-bones HTTP2 Server example based on nghttp2

Question

Anybody has a pointer to an example that implements a HTTP2 Server (in clear text mode) using nghttp2 ?

Answer 1

It depends how you want to implement this.

The easiest way is to use the nghttpd command:

 nghttpd --no-tls 80

This is the easiest way of getting a HTTP/2 server up and running to test client implementations. You can also add the -v switch to use verbose mode and log all the frames used.

If you want to write the server in C then the example in the documentation is a HTTPS server, so this would need to be adapted for clear text (h2c).

Finally there is a much easier C++ implementation in the documentation.
