  Consider options to explicitly disable ALPN and/or NPN.



  ALPN is the TLS extension that http2 is expected to use. The NPN extension

  is for a similar purpose, was made prior to ALPN and is used for SPDY so

  early http2 servers are implemented using NPN before ALPN support is

  widespread.

  The challange is the ALPN and NPN support and all our different SSL

  backends.  Right now we support ALPN and NPN with OpenSSL and ALPN with

  GnuTLS.

  The challenge is the ALPN and NPN support and all our different SSL

  backends. You may need a fairly updated SSL library version for it to

  provide the necessary TLS features. Right now we support:



    OpenSSL: ALPN and NPN

    NSS:     ALPN and NPN

    GnuTLS:  ALPN
