Alt-Svc

  Alt-Svc is a suggested new header with a corresponding frame (ALTSVC) in
  http2 that tells the client about an alternative "route" to the same content
  for the same origin server that you get the response from. A browser or
  long-living client can use that hint to create a new connection
  asynchronously.  For libcurl, we may introduce a way to bring such clues to
  the applicaton and/or let a subsequent request use the alternate route
  automatically.

Applications

  We hide http2's binary nature and convert received http2 traffic to headers
