Hi, I work for Microsoft Open Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corp. My team is currently working on the standardization process for HTTP/2.0: as I believe many of you may have heard, the latest working draft @ IETF requires using ALPN as the mechanism for secure negotiation, and we have been working on a patch to OpenSSL to allow for early testing and interoperability. More background is available at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-03#section-2.3, but for your convenience here goes the relevant snippet:
2.3. Starting HTTP/2.0 for "https:" URIs A client that makes a request to an "https:" URI without prior knowledge about support for HTTP/2.0 uses TLS [RFC5246] with the application layer protocol negotiation extension [TLSALPN]. Once TLS negotiation is complete, both the client and the server send a connection header (Section 3.2). We will be submitting a patch request to openssl-b...@openssl.org as advised by https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/README#L178, and we will be following discussions the mailing lists. Please feel free to give us your feedback and, in case you would be interested in a formal contribution, advice on the steps we need to take.
