H2O is a free and open-source web server. It is written in C, and is distributed under the terms of the MIT License.
It was designed with a focus on supporting HTTP/2 and TLS, maximizing the use of new web technologies such as prioritization and server push. As a result it achieves significantly better performance than conventional web servers such as nginx.[3]

- Full support for dependency and weight-based prioritization with server-side tweaks
- Cache-aware server push
- HTTP/3 support (experimental)
- TCP Fast Open
- TLS support
- Session resumption (standalone and memcached)
- Session tickets with automatic key rollover
- Automatic OCSP stapling
- Forward secrecy and fast AEAD cipher suite
- Private key protection using privilege separation
- Encrypted Client Hello (experimental)[5]
- Static file serving
- FastCGI support
- Reverse proxy
- Scripting using mruby (Rack-based)
- Graceful restart and self-upgrade
