I suspect that this is a "beyond v3" request. But it would be really good to look at supporting HTTP/2 in addition to HTTP and HTTPS (both of which are HTTP/1.1 I think).

Opening up HTTP/2 would potentially bring both performance and security benefits.

One of the issues though with HTTP/2 has previously been support for websockets. However, HTTP/2 does now have a mechanism for supporting them and I note that later versions of [Socket.IO](http://Socket.IO) also support HTTP/2. Not sure if any basic websocket libraries support HTTP/2 though which may scupper things.
