.SH NAME
nghttp \- HTTP/2 client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBnghttp\fP [OPTIONS]... <URI>...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
HTTP/2 client
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <URI>
Specify URI to access.
.UNINDENT
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
Print debug information such as reception and
transmission of frames and name/value pairs. Specifying
this option multiple times increases verbosity.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-n, \-\-null\-out
Discard downloaded data.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-O, \-\-remote\-name
Save download data in the current directory. The
filename is derived from URI. If URI ends with \(aq\fI/\fP\(aq,
\(aqindex.html\(aq is used as a filename. Not implemented
yet.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-t, \-\-timeout=<DURATION>
Timeout each request after <DURATION>. Set 0 to disable
timeout.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-w, \-\-window\-bits=<N>
Sets the stream level initial window size to 2**<N>\-1.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-W, \-\-connection\-window\-bits=<N>
Sets the connection level initial window size to
2**<N>\-1.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-get\-assets
Download assets such as stylesheets, images and script
files linked from the downloaded resource. Only links
whose origins are the same with the linking resource
will be downloaded. nghttp prioritizes resources using
HTTP/2 dependency based priority. The priority order,
from highest to lowest, is html itself, css, javascript
and images.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-stat
Print statistics.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-H, \-\-header=<HEADER>
Add a header to the requests. Example: \fI\%\-H\fP\(aq:method: PUT\(aq
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-trailer=<HEADER>
Add a trailer header to the requests. <HEADER> must not
include pseudo header field (header field name starting
with \(aq:\(aq). To send trailer, one must use \fI\%\-d\fP option to
send request body. Example: \fI\%\-\-trailer\fP \(aqfoo: bar\(aq.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-cert=<CERT>
Use the specified client certificate file. The file
must be in PEM format.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-key=<KEY>
Use the client private key file. The file must be in
PEM format.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-data=<PATH>
Post FILE to server. If \(aq\-\(aq is given, data will be read
from stdin.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-m, \-\-multiply=<N>
Request each URI <N> times. By default, same URI is not
requested twice. This option disables it too.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-u, \-\-upgrade
Perform HTTP Upgrade for HTTP/2. This option is ignored
if the request URI has https scheme. If \fI\%\-d\fP is used, the
HTTP upgrade request is performed with OPTIONS method.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-extpri=<PRI>
Sets RFC 9218 priority of given URI. <PRI> must be the
wire format of priority header field (e.g., \(dqu=3,i\(dq).
This option can be used multiple times, and N\-th
\fI\%\-\-extpri\fP option sets priority of N\-th URI in the command
line. If the number of this option is less than the
number of URI, the last option value is repeated. If
there is no \fI\%\-\-extpri\fP option, urgency is 3, and
incremental is false.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-M, \-\-peer\-max\-concurrent\-streams=<N>
Use <N> as SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS value of
remote endpoint as if it is received in SETTINGS frame.
.sp
Default: \fB100\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-header\-table\-size=<SIZE>
Specify decoder header table size. If this option is
used multiple times, and the minimum value among the
given values except for last one is strictly less than
the last value, that minimum value is set in SETTINGS
frame payload before the last value, to simulate
multiple header table size change.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-encoder\-header\-table\-size=<SIZE>
Specify encoder header table size. The decoder (server)
specifies the maximum dynamic table size it accepts.
Then the negotiated dynamic table size is the minimum of
this option value and the value which server specified.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-b, \-\-padding=<N>
Add at most <N> bytes to a frame payload as padding.
Specify 0 to disable padding.

.sp
The <SIZE> argument is an integer and an optional unit (e.g., 10K is
10 * 1024). Units are K, M and G (powers of 1024).
.sp
The <DURATION> argument is an integer and an optional unit (e.g., 1s
is 1 second and 500ms is 500 milliseconds). Units are h, m, s or ms
(hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, respectively). If a unit
is omitted, a second is used as unit.
