Michael Gasperl (ID: 000000940fa861b0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2020 Simple and very useful, also to check if everything is alright with the own config.

Lorin Halpert (ID: 000000de44e71e34) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/05/2020 For some reason it is not picking up HTTP/2 even though trace clearly shows "http=http/2". Accessing remote via IPv6.

Alan Hale III (ID: 0000002ef34e6fb6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/05/2018 Is this still being maintained? HTTP/2 and IPv6 indicators are not lighting up for sites that are known to use HTTP/2 and IPv6.
