Protocol Support

Protocol Feature Support

A feature-by-feature snapshot of what Titanium Web Proxy actually implements for HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, and HTTP/2, so you can tell at a glance whether something you depend on is fully supported, relayed best-effort, or not implemented yet. "Yes" means the proxy actively parses/enforces the feature (and you can observe/modify it via the public API where relevant); "Partial" means it works for the common case but has a known gap; "No" means it isn't implemented.

This table reflects the develop branch as of the HTTP/1.x gap-closure work (chunked trailers, interim 1xx responses, and TLS body-write-hook parity). If you find something inaccurate, please open an issue.

Connections and framing

Feature	HTTP/1.0	HTTP/1.1	HTTP/2	Notes
Persistent connections / keep-alive	Yes	Yes	Yes (inherent)	Connection: keep-alive (1.0) / default (1.1); HTTP/2 multiplexes over one connection.
Chunked transfer-encoding	N/A (no chunked in 1.0)	Yes	N/A (HTTP/2 uses DATA frames, not chunking)	Read and write, both request and response, via HttpStream.
Chunked trailers (trailing headers)	N/A	Yes	No	See RequestResponseBase.TrailingHeaders; forwarded/emitted for HTTP/1.x. HTTP/2 trailer HEADERS frames are not yet distinguished from the main header block.
Expect: 100-continue	Yes	Yes	N/A (no equivalent frame flow)	ProxyServer.Enable100ContinueBehaviour.
Other 1xx interim responses (e.g. 103 Early Hints)	N/A	Yes	No	Relayed to the client and looped past on the server connection; not yet exposed as a dedicated event. HTTP/2 has no interim-response handling.
Upgrade / WebSocket (101 Switching Protocols)	N/A	Yes	N/A	Raw duplex relay once upgraded; see RequestHandler.HandleWebSocketUpgrade.
CONNECT tunneling	Yes	Yes	Yes (via ExplicitProxyEndPoint)	Supports both decrypt-and-inspect and pass-through-as-opaque-tunnel.
Stream multiplexing	N/A	N/A	Yes	Concurrent streams tracked per connection in Http2Helper.
HPACK header compression	N/A	N/A	Partial	Decode reuses a persistent dynamic table; encode currently creates a fresh table per call, so repeated response headers aren't re-indexed on the encode side.
Flow control (WINDOW_UPDATE)	N/A	N/A	Partial	Frames are relayed but the proxy does no window accounting of its own.
Server push (PUSH_PROMISE)	N/A	N/A	Partial	Frames are byte-relayed only; not parsed/exposed (push is deprecated in browsers, so low priority).
PING / keepalive frames	N/A	N/A	Partial	Relayed passively; the proxy does not originate or respond to pings itself.
SETTINGS negotiation	N/A	N/A	Partial	HEADER_TABLE_SIZE and MAX_FRAME_SIZE are read; other settings are relayed without being enforced.
RST_STREAM / per-stream cancellation	N/A	N/A	Yes	Cleans up the corresponding session and relays the frame.

Body handling and streaming

Feature	HTTP/1.0	HTTP/1.1	HTTP/2	Notes
Buffered body read/modify (GetRequestBody/SetResponseBodyString, etc.)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Per-chunk streaming hooks (OnRequestBodyWrite/OnResponseBodyWrite) - plain HTTP	Yes	Yes	Yes
Per-chunk streaming hooks - TLS-decrypted connections	Yes	Yes	Yes	Fixed for HTTP/1.x: the hook now fires with parity for SslStream-backed connections, not just plain NetworkStream.
Synthetic streamed responses (RespondStreaming)	Yes	Yes	Yes	Chunked or fixed-length framing chosen automatically from the response headers you set.
Automatic decompression for body inspection (gzip/deflate/brotli)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Multipart/form-data boundary-aware streaming	Yes	Yes	N/A (not multipart-aware over h2 yet)

Proxying, auth, and misc

Feature	Support	Notes
Explicit, transparent, and SOCKS4/5 endpoints	Yes	ExplicitProxyEndPoint, TransparentProxyEndPoint, SocksProxyEndPoint.
Upstream proxy chaining (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS)	Yes	Static, per-request (GetCustomUpStreamProxyFunc), or system-gateway detection.
Proxy Basic authentication	Yes	ProxyBasicAuthenticateFunc.
Windows authentication (Kerberos/NTLM) to upstream servers	Yes	EnableWinAuth.
Mutual TLS to upstream servers	Yes	ClientCertificateSelectionCallback / ServerCertificateValidationCallback.
Upstream connection pooling	Yes	EnableConnectionPool (default on).
