# http2-server

Simple HTTP2/SPDY server similiar to [http-server](https://github.com/indexzero/http-server) using [express](https://github.com/expressjs/express) & [node-spdy](https://github.com/indutny/node-spdy)

*Due to issues in [node-spdy](https://github.com/spdy-http2/node-spdy/issues/363) http2-server will not work on Node 12 or above. If someone want to fix this we all will appreciate your work*

# Installation

```

  sudo npm install -g static-http2-server

```

# Naive PUSH_PROMISE

By default http2-server match static resources with their Referer header (for example '/') and will [server push](https://http2.github.io/faq/#whats-the-benefit-of-server-push) them coupled with response, when refered resource (e.g. index.html) would be requested next time

# Usage

```

http2-server [path] [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help                        output usage information

    -V, --version                     output the version number

    -a, --address [127.0.0.1]         address to use

    -p, --ssl-port [4443]             ssl port to use

    --http-port [8080]                http port which redirects to ssl port

    -c, --cache                       enable cache

    -m, --maxAge [0]                  cache maxAge in ms acceptable string

        https://github.com/zeit/ms

    -P, --no-push                     disable naive PUSH_PROMISE

    -o, --open [xdg-open]             open default app after starting the server

        -o firefox

        -o "google-chrome --incognito"

        -o "curl --insecure"

    -l, --log [dev]                   log format (dev|combined|common|short|tiny)

        https://github.com/expressjs/morgan#predefined-formats

    -s, --silent                      suppress log messages from output

    --cors                            enable CORS

    -S, --no-ssl                      disable https

          Works as plain http server without http2, spdy, push_promise

    -e, --cert [certs/cert.pem]       path to ssl cert file

    -k, --key  [certs/key.pem]        path to ssl key file

    --generate-cert                   save autogenerated certificates and exit

    --trust-cert                      add certificate to trusted (currently linux only)

    -g, --compression                 enable deflate/gzip/brotli/zopfli

    -i, --index [index.html]          Specify index file name

    --proxy [https://127.0.0.1:4443]  Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url.

    e.g.: -P http://someurl.com

    -I, --no-autoindex                Disable auto index

# Usage as a dependency in your project

```

  npm install static-http2-server --save

```

package.json:

```json

...

  "scripts": {

    "start": "node_modules/.bin/http2-server -o",

  },

...

```

# SSL certificates

For development you can use autogenerated selfsigned certificates. For production you should use [Let's encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) or any other [certificate authority](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority)

#### certutil

To generate and/or trust certificate you need [certutil](https://www.google.com/search?q=certutil).

```bash

#Ubuntu

sudo apt install libnss3-tools

#Arch

sudo pacman -S nss

#Mac

brew install nss

```

#### Generate selfsigned certificates and trust them

```bash

  http2-server --generate-cert --trust-cert

```

#### Add previously generated certificate to trusted

```bash

  http2-server --trust-cert --cert path/to/your.cert

```
