If we have a look from the viewpoint of HTTP/2, how applications could meet the requirements in HTTP/2?  Did you have a plan to have the application works with HTTP/2 in the future?

The use case for this is a rather common requirement-- to have an SSL site which doesn't prompt the user for a client cert until they visit a secured area, and then the client cert request is sent, prompting the user at that point.
