    It appears the functionality you are trying to implement may not be supported yet. The excerpt below was pulled from the following support page:

This means that when a client that supports HTTP/2 connects to a virtual server that has an HTTP/2 profile assigned to it, the resulting server-side traffic (such as traffic sent to pool members) is sent over HTTP/1.1.

Thank you for your reply!

 

Is their any way to figure out, if the described feature is on the roadmap for future releases.

 

Does the F5 team offer some feature request possibility ?
