[[http2-configuring]]
=== Configuring HTTP/2

Enabling the HTTP/2 module in the Jetty server does not create a HTTP/2 specific connector, but rather it adds a HTTP/2 Connection factory to an
existing connector.
Thus configuring HTTP/2 is a combination of configuring common properties on the connector and HTTP/2 specific properties on the connection factory.
The modules and XML files involved can be seen with the following commands:

[source,screen, subs="{sub-order}"]
....
$ java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar --list-modules
    ...
    1) protonego-boot  <transitive>
    ...
    2) http            ${jetty.base}/start.d/http.ini
    2) ssl             ${jetty.base}/start.d/ssl.ini
    3) alpn            ${jetty.base}/start.d/alpn.ini
    3) http2c          ${jetty.base}/start.d/http2c.ini
    ...
    4) http2           ${jetty.base}/start.d/http2.ini
    5) https           ${jetty.base}/start.d/https.ini

$ java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar --list-config
 ...
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-ssl.xml
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-ssl-context.xml
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-alpn.xml
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http2c.xml
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http.xml
 ...
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http2.xml
 ${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-https.xml
....

The common properties associated with connectors (host,port, timeouts, etc.) can be set in the module ini files (or `start.ini` if `--add-to-start` was used): `${jetty.base}/start.d/http.ini` and `${jetty.base}/start.d/ssl.ini`.
These properties are instantiated in the associated XML files: `${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http.xml`; `${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-ssl.xml`, plus the SSL keystore is instantiated in `${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-ssl-context.xml`.

____
[NOTE]
If you are planning to edit XML files, make sure to copy them to your `{$jetty.base}/etc/` directory before doing so.
The XML files that come with the Jetty distribution should *not* be modified directly.
____

HTTP/2 specific properties can be set in the module ini files: `${jetty.base}/start.d/http2.ini` and `${jetty.base}/start.d/http2c.ini`, which are instantiated in the associated XML files: `${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http2.xml`; `${jetty.home}/etc/jetty-http2c.xml`, respectively.
Currently there are very few HTTP/2 configuration properties and the default values are reasonable:

.HTTP/2 Configuration Properties
[cols=",",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Property |Description
|jetty.http2.maxConcurrentStreams |The maximum number of concurrently open streams allowed on a single HTTP/2 connection (default 1024). Larger values increase parallelism but cost a memory commitment.
|jetty.http2.initialStreamSendWindow |The initial flow control window size for a new stream (default 65535). Larger values may allow greater throughput but also risk head of line blocking if TCP/IP flow control is triggered.
