Jetty Http/2 Client on Android

I'm trying to use Jetty HTTP/2 client on Android to talk to a custom HTTP/2 service. I can't see a way to start the android HTTP/2 app using ALPN as boot parameter. Is there a way can I disable ALPN for Jetty client or some workaround to activate ALPN during the boot time?

As answered in the [jetty-users] mailing list.

Not possible.

HTTP/2 pretty much requires TLS/ALPN.

The way to do that, currently, is to modify the Java SSL classes at bootclasspath time.

The Jetty Project has written this modification into the alpn-boot.jar for the standard OpenJDK based Java envs.

There's no way for a normal Android application to do xbootclasspath on a normal android device.

Options you have.

  • Convince Google to include alpn-boot in the base Android image (AOSP).
  • Convince Google to include xbootclasspath support for Android Apps.
  • Build your own Android image with alpn-boot built-in.
  • Built a native ALPN and/or HTTP/2 processor and use it via JNI with your Android application.

Good Luck,
