HTTP/2 support for our free TLS (shared domain)
Update on our HTTP/2 announcement blogpost: https://www.fastly.com/blog/http2-now-general-availability
We now support HTTP/2 on our free TLS cert, and with very little changes needed to begin using it.
Here’s how to enable HTTP/2 with your shared domain (free TLS):
Claiming a name in *.global.ssl.fastly.net
makes the name also available via HTTP/2 in *.freetls.fastly.net
. Customers can use URLs with both names to take advantage of HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 during the transition before all traffic will be switched to HTTP/2.
Existing shared domain names:
- Note: the current domain that’s listed in your service configuration can be found here with a nomenclature of *.global.ssl.fastly.net.
- The new DNS name to enable HTTP/2 is
*.freetls.fastly.net
- Do not update your configuration to use the new DNS nomenclature — it’s automatically done for you
For example, jevans2.global.ssl.fastly.net
already exists in my configuration and I want to take advantage of HTTP/2. Again, I don’t change anything in my configuration, I simply update my host domain to use jevans2.freetls.fastly.net
and voila, HTTP/2 works! My existing jevans2.global.ssl.fastly.net
domain is also still available for use (though it only supports HTTP/1.1).
Creating new shared domain names:
Follow our documentation found here and continue using the *.global.ssl.fasly.net
naming convention when you create your domain.
After you create your domain, both maps will immediately be available for use with the same convention as noted above:
-
*.global.ssl.fastly.net
– supports only HTTP/1.1 -
*.freetls.fastly.net
– supports HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1
