HTTP 2 Support about tsung

It's a really a broad topic...thats for sure. I will think about it and write back some ideas back here.
Cheers.

None that I'm aware of. But I'm actually working conceptually on how to bring HTTP2 to tsung and I'd love to exchange ideas.

Hm.. what do you think about the ability to manually define the various http 2 data frames /streams in the tsung.xml's session tags ?

I still have to wrap my head around various aspects of HTTP2 and what the most important parts are in terms of load testing. The main challenge (besides all the low level stuff, like encoding/decoding, multiplexing etc) will be the highly interactive and bi-directional aspects.

Another interesting part will be, what actually to measure, because the server can offer data/responses, before you have made the request (e.g. to preemptively push assets to the browser).

I'm pretty sure though, that starting too far on the low level end, won't actually be very useful (I'm happy if you disagree though!)
