Programs that must disable HTTP/2can do so by setting Transport.TLSNextProto (for clients) orServer.TLSNextProto (for servers) to a non-nil, emptymap. Alternatively, the following GODEBUG environment variables arecurrently supported:GODEBUG=http2client=0 # disable HTTP/2 client supportGODEBUG=http2server=0 # disable HTTP/2 server supportGODEBUG=http2debug=1 # enable verbose HTTP/2 debug logsGODEBUG=http2debug=2 # ... even more verbose, with frame dumpsThe GODEBUG variables are not covered by Go's API compatibilitypromise. Please report any issues before disabling HTTP/2support: https://golang.org/s/http2bugThe http package's Transport and Server both automatically enableHTTP/2 support for simple configurations. To enable HTTP/2 for morecomplex configurations, to use lower-level HTTP/2 features, or to usea newer version of Go's http2 package, import "golang.org/x/net/http2"directly and use its ConfigureTransport and/or ConfigureServerfunctions. Manually configuring HTTP/2 via the golang.org/x/net/http2package takes precedence over the net/http package's built-in HTTP/2support.*/package http
