What did you do?

I have an HTTP/2 proxy (I tested a custom one and https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy) and when trying to connect through it from a client using HTTP/2 I get an error. This does not happen if I don't use HTTP/2.

Here's my code:

package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	"os"

	"golang.org/x/net/http2"
)

func main() {
	tr := &http.Transport{
		TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
		Proxy:           http.ProxyFromEnvironment,
	}

	if err := http2.ConfigureTransport(tr); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "error configuring transport: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	client := &http.Client{Transport: tr}
	rsp, err := client.Get("https://google.com")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "error getting: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	defer rsp.Body.Close()

	buf, err := ioutil.ReadAll(rsp.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "error reading response: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Response: %s\n", string(buf))
}

If I comment out the http2.ConfigureTransport() call (so it will use HTTP/1.1) it works fine.

What did you expect to see?

A successful connection.

What did you see instead?

On the proxy server:

2018/07/19 18:30:25 http2: server connection from 127.0.0.1:54850 on 0xc420174b60
2018/07/19 18:30:25 http2: server: error reading preface from client 127.0.0.1:54850: bogus greeting "CONNECT google.com:443 H"

On the client:

2018/07/19 18:30:25 http2: Transport failed to get client conn for google.com:443: http2: no cached connection was available
error getting: Get https://google.com: malformed HTTP response "\x00\x00\x18\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x05\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\xfa\x00\x06\x00\x10\x01@\x00\x04\x00\x10\x00\x00"

Seems like a duplicate of #21336 ?

I think they're different bugs.

This is more of a documentation or feature request to support http2 proxies. We only support http1 proxies currently.

Is there any plan to support http2 proxy?

[crowfrog]

same question about plan for this feature. :)
