  • the default HTTP protocol (ie 1.0)
  • how to switch to 2 (or other http protocols)

ref #15577

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing Envoy documentation for HTTP protocol settings, specifically the default HTTP version and how to configure HTTP/2. Then, propose updates to the 'Getting Started' section to clearly state the default (HTTP/1.0) and provide instructions for switching to HTTP/2 or other protocols.
