I have a feature request. I have a hardware appliance that runs in-line with my webserver. When activated it intercepts HTTP and HTTPS requests. The problem being it does not support HTTP/2 or WebSockets. When it’s activated certain actions like post edits fail to complete. It’s only activated during DDoS Attacks using HTTP/HTTPS floods (it won’t activate in the case of a syn flood that’s handled differently) however legacy support for HTTP/1.1 without WebSockets would be a nice enhancement useful for websites that are under attack. Thoughts?
