net/http: support HTTP/2

[mikioh]

Just a thought, because it's a bit big and long-term stuff.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2.0
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2

HPACK - Header Compression for HTTP/2.0
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression

Also it requires issue #6736.

Use cases would be the following:
- Server: 1.x, 2.0 and/or protocol agnostic
- Client: ditto
- Proxy (w/ traffic engineering): basic forward/reverse proxying, also traffic routing
and/or protocol bridging btw 1.x and 2.0
- QoX?: available to inject external queueing disciplines, frame scheduling and queue
management in between HTTP/2.0 framing and TLS layers
- Bearer: WebSocket over HTTP/2.0

Wow, I'm full.

I've been working on this.
It will be out of the main tree first but will eventually be included I'm sure.

This work has been coming along nicely. Currently at https://github.com/bradfitz/http2

@bradfitz will there be a public API that will allow us to create streams and send data to/receive data from them?

[bradfitz]

Yes.

[ncdc]

Awesome, is there anything we can start playing around with yet? Or even a proposed API to review? :-)

[bradfitz]

Go look at https://github.com/bradfitz/http2 ... I'm already using it. Also note the open pull request that you'd be interested in.

[ncdc]

Are you referring to the Pushhandler PR? If so, I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to be able to manage streams myself from the client and/or server side, passing data back and forth over each stream.
