Hello,

how can you set up jira to use http2?

I had a look at the Tomcat documentation. 

It is just: 

<UpgradeProtocol compression="on" className="org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol"/>

Sadly this has no effect...

Has anyone configured it yet and can help me out?

 

I'm using Jira Version 7.7

The <UpgradeProtocol> above does enable HTTP2 on Tomcat with Jira 8, however it doesn't run properly (lots of 500 errors). Reverted back to HTTP/1.1 with SSL.

Proxy would be the way to go for HTTP/2 or HTTP/3.

Hmm, I wouldn't try to do it with Tomcat. I'm not sure how much success you will have with that. I would try it with a reverse proxy in front of Jira. There are good reasons to do this anyway if you ever want to run Jira over SSL. I've personally found that Tomcat doesn't handle SSL as well as an Apache, Nginx, or IIS reverse proxy.

I think HTTP2 is different than SSL. Can we enable HTTP2 in JIRA/Confluence tomcat server without SSL?

Yes, I misread your question. However, I would still use a reverse proxy because you will need to use SSL as well. HTTP2 requires SSL.
