if you want to use HTTP/2 with PHP on OS X, you need a version of curl compiled with HTTP/2 support. You can then link your PHP’s curl extension to this version.
The easiest way to do this is to use Homebrew:
$ brew install openssl $ brew install curl --with-nghttp2 $ brew install php70 --with-homebrew-curl
At the time of writing, this will install PHP 7.0.10 with Curl 7.50.1:
$ php -i | grep cURL cURL support => enabled cURL Information => 7.50.1
Using Curl on the command line
If you want to use your shiny new curl from the command line, then the easiest way to do this is:
brew link curl --force
You can now do:
$ curl -V
and you should get:
curl 7.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0) libcurl/7.50.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2h zlib/1.2.5 nghttp2/1.14.0 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP HTTP2 UnixSockets
(at the time of writing!)
Using Guzzle to test HTTP/2 is working
To prove it works in PHP, use Guzzle!:
$ composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
testhttp2.php:
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; $client = new GuzzleHttp Client(); $response = $client->get('https://www.google.it', [ 'version' => 2.0, 'debug' => true, ]);
Run this PHP code at the command line:
$ php testhttp2.php
As we’ve turned on debugging, the output looks like this:
* Rebuilt URL to: https://www.google.it/ * Trying 216.58.201.3... * Connected to www.google.it (216.58.201.3) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * Cipher selection: ALL:!EXPORT:!EXPORT40:!EXPORT56:!aNULL:!LOW:!RC4:@STRENGTH * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem CApath: none * SSL connection using TLSv1.2 / ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 * ALPN, server accepted to use h2 * Server certificate: * subject: C=US; ST=California; L=Mountain View; O=Google Inc; CN=*.google.com * start date: Aug 17 18:56:43 2016 GMT * expire date: Nov 9 18:29:00 2016 GMT * subjectAltName: host "www.google.it" matched cert's "*.google.it" * issuer: C=US; O=Google Inc; CN=Google Internet Authority G2 * SSL certificate verify ok. * Using HTTP2, server supports multi-use * Connection state changed (HTTP/2 confirmed) * TCP_NODELAY set * Copying HTTP/2 data in stream buffer to connection buffer after upgrade: len=0 * Using Stream ID: 1 (easy handle 0x7fa804802000) > GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.it User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/6.2.1 curl/7.50.1 PHP/7.0.10 * Connection state changed (MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS updated)! < HTTP/2 200 < date: Sun, 28 Aug 2016 10:36:13 GMT < expires: -1 < cache-control: private, max-age=0 < content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 < p3p: CP="This is not a P3P policy!

The key things to notice:
* ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1
We tell the server that we want HTTP/2 (h2), but can accept HTTP/1.1. If the server doesn’t support HTTP/2 it will send back HTTP/1.1
Using HTTP2, server supports multi-use
This is a good sign!
The response’s status line is:
HTTP/2 200
The version number is 2 and we got a 200, so all is OK!
Everything is working as intended.
