HTTP 1.1 to 2.0 protocol switch

In this example, the Ballerina HTTP service receives a message over the HTTP/1.1 protocol and forwards it to another service over the HTTP/2.0 protocol.

For more information on the underlying module, see the HTTP module.

 
import ballerina/http;

http:Client http2serviceClientEP =
        check new ("http://localhost:7090", {httpVersion: "2.0"});

HTTP version is set to 2.0.

service / on new http:Listener(9090) {

    resource function 'default http11Service(http:Request clientRequest)
            returns json|error {

        json clientResponse = check
            http2serviceClientEP->forward("/http2service", clientRequest);

Forward the clientRequest to the http2 service.

        return clientResponse;

Send the response back to the caller.

    }
}

listener http:Listener http2serviceEP = new (7090,
    config = {httpVersion: "2.0"});

HTTP version is set to 2.0.

service / on http2serviceEP {

    resource function 'default http2service() returns json {

        return { 
            "response": {
                "message":"response from http2 service"
            }
        };
    }
}

Send the response back to the caller (http11Service).

bal run http_1_1_to_2_0_protocol_switch.bal

curl http://localhost:9090/http11Service
{"response":{"message":"response from http2 service"}}

Invoke the HTTP/1.1 service using “cURL”.
