HTTP2 insecure server crashes every time. about express HOT 9 OPEN

i would not mind contributing to create a separate version of express that works with HTTP2, backwards compatibility be damned.

i would also not mind authoring the change if we can get about $10k-20k into a kickstarter for it. seems suitable and would likely deliver a lot more back to the community.

Small correction: This fails for secure servers in express 5 as well. Different stack though:

 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'readable')

I will suggest to open an issue on http2-express-bridge, It seems that the issue might be related to the library.

Because Express.JS cannot work with HTTP/2 natively, and http2-express-bridge is no longer maintained. If you really need the extra efficiency provided by HTTP/2, then switching to something like fastify makes more sense.

It would be awesome if HTTP/2 ever gets added to express.js! Though, if you are asking for money from kickstarters to kick off the process, I guess:

1. Others (Springboot, Fastify, even nginx!) have done it and are available to the public for free. You might need a convincing story to get this money, good luck!
2. Actually, ask IBM and StrangeLoop to see if they will offer the money or simply a position at their companies! This will definitely catch their attentions!

Yeah, well, a startup I consulted for ran out of cash in December and I need a job :)

But no, I also want to see this happen. The last company I worked at informally sponsored Matteo you could say to continue working on Fastify. I could go to them, but this seems like it would stir some pots. If not them, a similar organization.

I am sitting on a large monorepository solution without a safe way to go to market without getting ripped off by Vercel, the powers and IP thiefs at large. This seems like a reasonable way to gain some notoriety and while I seriously would just sit down for 3-6 months and do this, I burned out my bank account.

I authored hot reloading in express without doing a server reload on top, and helping with HTTP2 could build trust to push this and similar changes into Express v5 as a PR(s). I do more stuff that allows route repositioning and declarative route ordering across a monorepository (where construction of route order is not always known in advance). Basically I have done a lot of additional work to make route positioning more dynamic that might be interesting to propose into Express.

This is me, inventing a job for myself. Scratching at the food line. This is tech.

See PR : #3730

I can pick up where this one left off (6 years ago!).. speed in Express is important to me.
