Title:
  libcurl is missing http2 support

Status in curl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  libcurl supports HTTP/2.0 through libnghttp2, but the package on
  Ubuntu is not compiled with it.

  Alternatively, a libcurl4-(gnutls|openssl)-nghttp2 might be a good
  idea.

  See also: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http2.html

  curl CLI tool should not need an update, as it already has the
  commandline switches, but when you use them it comes back with
  unsupported protocol.

  drwilco at eris:~$ curl --http2 www.google.com
  curl: (1) Unsupported protocol
