HTTP2 and mTLS

[agentgt]

This project came up on my feed probably because I follow @SentryMan .

I think a lot of HTTP benchmarks these days should start focusing on HTTP2 and mTLS especially if it is microservices where both HTTP2 and mTLS are far more common.

Sadly even the Techempower benchmarks do not test it but a substantial amount of production software is using it so the HTTP 1.1 benchmarks don't mean as much these days especially cross platform (e.g. Java vs Rust).

And you can't just say that HTTP2 is the loadbalancer. Given various security issues HTTP2 will probably become more of the backend default: https://portswigger.net/research/http1-must-die

This is our gatling load generator. we do not really provide http version, and found this in SO. I think we may already use http2, I would appreciate if someone do a small debugging and see those logs.

@agentgt with mTLS you mean certificate authentication, SSL stuff actually brings 2-3 percent CPU load, it would not be too hard to test it too. Now I wonder how fast is regular http vs mTLS :) good area to investigate.
