I installed a Certificate of Let’s Encrypt because of くりくりさん’s comments and it was successful. But I’ve not understood very well, yet. How can I renew the certificate? What procedures do I need to have SAN support certificate? I found ‘HOW TO’ for Exchange 2016, but mine is Apache.
I should study more about Let’s Encrypt.
Edit(Mar.14):
I posted the article “How to install a Let’s Encrypt Certificate supports SAN to Apache on Windows”.
Actually, Cygwin has libev and nghttp2 packages now. So, you can use h2load and nghttp features even if you don’t build nghttp2 by yourself. Nevertheless, if youl build nghttp2 on Cygwin, you need to build the Jansson and the spdylay before building it because Cygwin doesn’t have their packages. But, according to the current trend, I think you don’t need the spdylay package. (2016.6.18)

Yes, the title is just a word play from one of Tim Burton works (´ϖ`).
On February 29, my server was down from about 0:00 to about 20:30 because of hardware malfunction. Last Sunday, February 28, I was trying hard for H2PushPriority which is one of new directives of Module mod_http2. To enable this feature is very easy, but to tune it up is difficult for me.
Last night, we had snow for the first time this winter and still now it’s snowing though a very light snowfall. Before getting to the main subject, I’ll introduce this tweet. Wow! Awesome! Cute!
As PHP7.0.2 was released, I updated to it. Here is ChangeLog. My server OS is Windows7 HE SP1 x86, so I downloaded php-7.0.2-Win32-VC14-x86.zip.

libev-4.22.tar.gz and nghttp2-1.6.0.tar.xz were released, so I re-built h2load on Cygwin. If you haven’t read ‘Building h2load on Cygwin‘, read the post first before your building h2load.
Finally, PHP7.0.0 was released. Congrats and thanks, PHP developers!!
Windows version appeared on windows.php.net around 21:00 UTC of December 3. Therefore, I upgraded from PHP5.6 to PHP7.0 this morning. Around 10:00 JST of December 4.
Windows10 1511 was sneaking into my CF-J10 during last night because it was a normal Windows Update and I left CF-J10 hibernating instead I made it shutdown and unpluged completely.
Fortunately, I have no fatal problems. But I have something as below.

Now, I have two zip files. One is H2LOAD_dll_package_x86.zip, another is H2LOAD_dll_package_x64.zip. If you download one of them, you can do the test by h2load on your Windows PC. Run cmd.exe and do like this.
> h2load -n100000 -c100 -m10 https://localhost
If you do this test, you should create your own local server. Because the test might be a cyber attack for the server if you set numbers too high as values of -n -c -m. Be careful.
I wrote like this before:‘I don’t know why, but it looks like telling Apache without HTTP/2 is faster. Gee!’. This time, I had interesting results. See HTTPS with HTTP/2 and HTTPS without HTTP/2. The test tells that the server supports HTTP/2 is good at dealing with concurrent streams than the server doesn’t support HTTP/2. This is one of HTTP/2 features.
I’ll write about my hard work to get these files (^_^;).
[Caution]: The steps blow give the files contained by H2LOAD_dll_package_x64.zip. If you want to have the files for x86 PC, you have to do all steps by setup-x86.exe on a Windows x86 PC.
Continued from this post. As I finished preparing for supporting HTTP/2, I re-edited my httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf.
On the httpd.conf, I un-commented the next line.
LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so
On the httpd-ssl.conf, I added the next line just after <VirtualHost o6asan.com:443>.
Protocols h2 http/1.1
h2 is HTTP/2 with TLS and h2c is HTTP/2 without TLS. I don’t use h2c on the server.
Reboot Apache to enable Http/2. That’s it.
Being too busy with writing HTTP/2, I’ll also write about it, which is I moved to MariaDB 10.1.8. Not to update it. Besides, I found PHP5.6.15, phpMyAdmin4.5.1 and ActivePerl-5.20.2.2002 yesterday, so I took care of them all.
