SwiftHttp2

SwiftHttp2 is an implementation of the HTTP/2 specification written in Swift for macOS. Requirements are derived from:

• RFC7540 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2 (HTTP/2)
• RFC7541 - HPACK: Header Compression for HTTP/2

The goal that started this project was the desire to build a tool to send Apple Push Notifications entirely from Swift.

To connect to Apple's APNS you must pass a properly encoded Authorization header. An example of how to do this can be found in the ApnsAuthHeader.swift file. Please note this file is not compiled into the library. It's just there as an example, and it requires that your project include the OpenSSL-Universal pod.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 1.1+ is required to build SwiftHttp2.

To integrate SwiftHttp2 into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.12'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'SwiftHttp2'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Help Needed

The initial work to encode/decode headers and all the defined frame types is complete. There are still multiple pieces needed though:

• Expand unit tests to cover all frame types.
• Add unit tests for the public interface (i.e. not using the @testable keyword)
  • Need to verify whether enough functionality is public.
• Write the Http2Session.swift file.
  • URLSession will close during idle periods so it can't be used for the client.
