Example 1: Filename: index.js

Javascript




// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// http2.getDefaultSettings() 
  
const http2 = require('http2');
const fs = require('fs');
  
// Private key and public certificate for access
const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('private-key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('public-cert.pem'),
};
  
// Creating and initializing server
// by using http2.createServer() method
const server = http2.createServer(options);
  
// Getting default setting 
// by using getDefaultSetting() method
const value =  http2.getDefaultSettings()
  
console.log("header table size : " 
    + value.headerTableSize)
  
server.on('stream', (stream, requestHeaders) => {
  stream.respond({ 
    ':status': 200, 
    'content-type': 'text/plain' 
  });
  
  stream.write('hello ');
  stream.end('world');
    
  // Stopping the server
  // by using the close() method
  server.close(() => {
    console.log("server closed");
  })
});
  
server.listen(8000);
  
// Creating and initializing client
// by using tls.connect() method
const client = http2.connect(
  
const req = client.request({ 
  ':method': 'GET', ':path': '/' });
  
req.on('response', (responseHeaders) => {
  console.log("status : " 
  + responseHeaders[":status"]);
});
  
req.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log('Received: %s ',
  data.toString().replace(/(\n)/gm,""));
});
  
req.on('end', () => {
  client.close(() => {
    console.log("client closed");
  })
});


Run the index.js file using the following command:

node index.js

Output:

header table size : 4096
status : 200
Received: hello
Received: world
client closed
server closed

Example 2: Filename: index.js

Javascript




// Node.js program to demonstrate the

  data.toString().replace(/(\n)/gm,""));
});
  
req.on('end', () => {
  client.close(() => {
    console.log("client closed");
  })
});


Run the index.js file using the following command:

node index.js

Output:

initial window size : 65535
Received: world
