Issue/Introduction

What is the HTTP/2 Protocol?

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a set of standards allowing internet users to exchange website information. There have been four HTTP iterations since its introduction in 1991.

HTTP/2 was released in 2015 as a major revision to the HTTP/1.1 protocol. It was derived from the SPDY protocol as a way to improve the online experience by speeding up page loads and reducing round-trip time (RTT), especially on resource-heavy web pages.

Resolution

Security Analytics does handle and can index and extract HTTP2 traffic without any problems.  If you are running SSL Visibility, it is recommended that you also install at least Security Analytics version 8.2.8 with NSR2.
