Gorouter recently added support for HTTP/2. However it turns out to be broken for HTTP/2 Websockets (RFC 8441): cloudfoundry/routing-release#230. It can't immediately be fixed because the bug arises from a problem in Go's
net/http
: golang/go#32763.This PR implements a suggestion by @Gerg in #259: forward Websocket traffic to Gorouter over HTTP/1.1, even if HTTP2 is enabled.
Downside of this approach is that we're duplicating a lot of config between the two
backend
blocks. To stop them drifting from each other, I've added a test that their config matches. If anyone only changes one of the blocks then the tests will fail, pushing them to change the other block as well.
