HTTP2

HTTP2 has two modes: proxy mode and tunnel mode.

TLS Certificate Configuration

For TLS configuration, please refer to TLS configuration.

Proxy Mode

In proxy mode, HTTP2 is used as the proxy protocol and the data channel layer of the HTTP2 proxy must be http2.

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http2://:8443

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8443
  handler:
    type: http2
  listener:
    type: http2

Tunnel Mode

In tunnel mode, HTTP2 is used as the data channel, which is divided into encrypted (h2) and plain text (h2c).

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http+h2://:8443

gost -L http+h2c://:8080

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8443
  handler:
    type: http
  listener:
    type: h2
    # type: h2c

Custom Request Path

The HTTP2 data channel uses CONNECT method to establish a connection by default. You can customize the request path through path option. In this case, the method GET is used to establish a connection.

Path Matching Verification

The connection can be successfully established only when the path option set by the client and the server are the same.

Server

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http+h2://:8443?path=/http2

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8443
  handler:
    type: http
  listener:
    type: h2
    metadata:
      path: /http2

Client

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http://:8080 -F http+h2://:8443?path=/http2

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8080
  handler:
    type: http
    chain: chain-0
  listener:
    type: tcp
chains:
- name: chain-0
  hops:
  - name: hop-0
    nodes:
    - name: node-0
      addr: :8443
      connector:
        type: http
      dialer:
        type: h2
        metadata:
          path: /http2

Custom Request Hostname

By default, the HTTP2 data channel client uses the node address (-F parameter or the address specified in nodes.addr) as the request hostname (HTTP Host header). The request hostname can be customized through host option.

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http://:8080 -F http+h2://:8443?host=example.com

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8080
  handler:
    type: http
    chain: chain-0
  listener:
    type: tcp
chains:
- name: chain-0
  hops:
  - name: hop-0
    nodes:
    - name: node-0
      addr: :8443
      connector:
        type: http
      dialer:
        type: h2
        metadata:
          host: example.com

Custom HTTP Request Headers

You can customize the request header information through header option.

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: :8080
  handler:
    type: http
    chain: chain-0
  listener:
    type: tcp
chains:
- name: chain-0
  hops:
  - name: hop-0
    nodes:
    - name: node-0
      addr: :8443
      connector:
        type: http
      dialer:
        type: h2
        metadata:
          header:
            User-Agent: "gost/3.0"
            foo: bar
