version 2.1.x without any problems sending over cleartext h2 proto on apache servers

with version 2.2.x there is problem but everyhing looks same as 2.1.x (using same compile options)
Available multiplexer protocols :
(protocols marked as cannot be specified using ‘proto’ keyword)
fcgi : mode=HTTP side=BE mux=FCGI
: mode=HTTP side=FE|BE mux=H1
h2 : mode=HTTP side=FE|BE mux=H2
: mode=TCP side=FE|BE mux=PASS

thanks for help

look like you need to define health check like

option httpchk
http-check connect proto h2
http-check send meth HEAD uri / ver HTTP/2 hdr Host localhost

server backend:80 127.0.0.1:80 maxconn 1000 check proto h2

acording to tcpdump, 2.1.x ale lower just used “check proto h2” for tcp check and use H2 then for requests but there were not any H2 check, it all chenged with 2.2.x and H2 health checks

thank for help, hope it helps someone
