| 4 | +========================== |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +``hyper`` is a project that's under active development, and is in early alpha. |
| 7 | +As a result, there are plenty of rough edges and bugs. This section of the |
| 8 | +documentation attempts to address some of your likely questions. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +If you find there is no answer to your question in this list, please send me |
| 11 | +an email. My email address can be found `on my GitHub profile page`_. |

| 15 | +What version of the HTTP/2.0 draft specification does ``hyper`` support? |
| 16 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Currently, ``hyper`` supports version 9 of the HTTP/2.0 draft specification, |
| 19 | +and version 5 of the HPACK draft specification. ``hyper`` will be updated to |
| 20 | +keep up with the HTTP/2.0 draft specifications as they progress. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Does ``hyper`` support HTTP/2.0 flow control? |
| 23 | +--------------------------------------------- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +It should! If you find it doesn't, that's a bug: please report it on GitHub. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Does ``hyper`` support Server Push? |
| 28 | +----------------------------------- |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +No, and I don't think it ever will directly. Support for Server Push |
| 31 | +effectively *mandates* a multithreaded or event-loop based programming style, |
| 32 | +which is incompatible with most current Python HTTP code. For that reason, |
| 33 | +``hyper``'s default API is unlikely to ever allow Server Push. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +However, there's no reason the underlying framing and stream layers couldn't |
| 36 | +support it. If ``hyper`` ever grows a server implementation or a fully |
| 37 | +event-loop based implementation, I'll revisit the decision not to support |
| 38 | +Server Push. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +I hit a bug! What should I do? |
| 41 | +------------------------------ |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Please tell me about it using the GitHub page for the project, here_, by filing |
| 44 | +an issue. There will definitely be bugs as ``hyper`` is very new, and reporting |
| 45 | +them is the fastest way to get them fixed. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +When you report them, please follow the contribution guidelines in the README. |
| 48 | +It'll make it a lot easier for me to fix the problem. |
