Proritize HTTP/1.1 over HTTP/2.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Due to a bug in Chrome, secure websockets in Teleport work intermittently on
the Chrome browser when using HTTP/2. Prioritizing HTTP/1.1 fixes this issue,
though the reasons for this are not 100% clear. When or if
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1379017 is resolved, we
should be able to revert this. When golang/go#49918
is implemented, we may be able to revert this if enabling HTTP/2 websockets
fixes the issue on our end.
