- This mode only has an effect when h2 or h2c is enabled via
- the Protocols.
+ When a server/vhost does not have h2 or h2c enabled via
+ Protocols,
+ the connection is never inspected for a HTTP/2 preamble. H2Direct
+ does not matter then. This is important for connections that
+ use protocols where an initial read might hang indefinitely, such
+ as NNTP.
+
+
+ For clients that have out-of-band knowledge about a server
+ supporting h2c, direct HTTP/2 saves the client from having to
+ perform an HTTP/1.1 upgrade, resulting in better performance
+ and avoiding the Upgrade restrictions on request bodies.
+
+
+ This makes direct h2c attractive for server to server communication
+ as well, when the connection can be trusted or is secured by other means.
