  1. Create requests

HTTP/2

HTTP/2 is the latest version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It is a major update to the HTTP/1.1 protocol that offers better performance, security, and features.

Turn On Compatibility Switch#

You can request HTTP/2 APIs directly within an HTTP project, but you need to ensure that the HTTP/2 compatibility switch is enabled in "Settings" → "Feature Settings" → "Advanced Settings."
After enabling the compatibility switch, when requesting HTTP/2 APIs, Apidog will automatically upgrade the request protocol to HTTP/2.
HTTP/2 sample API: https://http2.pro/api/v1

More Settings#

You can manually switch relevant settings in "Settings" → "Advanced Settings." It is recommended to use Apidog's default configuration to ensure compatibility.
After enabling the compatibility switch, Apidog will automatically upgrade the request protocol to HTTP/2 while requesting HTTP/2 APIs.
Complete configuration options:
HTTPS
HTTP/2 ALPN: Default option, Apidog will attempt to establish a connection using the HTTP/2 protocol and send requests using the HTTP/2 protocol. If the API does not support it, it will automatically fall back to HTTP/1.1.
HTTP/1.1: Use the original HTTP connection method and do not use the HTTP/2 protocol.
HTTP
HTTP/1.1: Default option, establish a connection using the HTTP/1.1 protocol and send requests using the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
HTTP/2 Prior Knowledge: Establish a h2c connection. If the API does not support the HTTP/2 protocol, the connection will fail directly without automatically back to HTTP/1.1.
