+Alt-Svc
+
+ Alt-Svc is a suggested new header with a corresponding frame (ALTSVC) in
+ http2 that tells the client about an alternative "route" to the same content
+ for the same origin server that you get the response from. A browser or
+ long-living client can use that hint to create a new connection
+ asynchronously. For libcurl, we may introduce a way to bring such clues to
+ the applicaton and/or let a subsequent request use the alternate route
+ automatically.

Applications
We hide http2's binary nature and convert received http2 traffic to headers
