I use nginx as a reverse-ssl-proxy in front of a backend webserver that is capable of doing HTTP/2.0.
I noticed that nginx proxies the requests to the backend server via HTTP/1.1 rather than HTTP/2.0. Is it possible to tell nginx to use an un-encrypted HTTP/2.0 connection instead? Would this increase performance?
