Last active December 22, 2015 04:14
Use libcurl to retrieve URL via HTTP2 using a reordered cipher list.
/* Use libcurl to retrieve URL via HTTP2 using a reordered cipher list.
Usage: ReorderCipherList <url>
This program deprioritizes HTTP/2 blacklisted ciphers in the client cipher
list and then uses that reordered list in its client handshake with the server.
Note that according to HTTP/2 RFC 7540 the blacklist enforcement is described
using the RFC semantic 'MAY' which is the same as 'OPTIONAL'. In this code I
refer to the ciphers as just blacklisted or banned.
