http-2vscurl-impersonate
Pure Ruby, framework and transport agnostic, implementation of HTTP/2 protocol and HPACK header compression with support for:
- Binary framing parsing and encoding
- Stream multiplexing and prioritization
- Connection and stream flow control
- Header compression and server push
- Connection and stream management
- And more... see API docs
Protocol specifications:
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2 (RFC 7540)
- HPACK: Header Compression for HTTP/2 (RFC 7541)
Curl-impersonate is a special build of libcurl and cURL HTTP client that impersonates the four major browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
- Safari
- Firefox
Curl-impersonate achieves this by patching TLS and HTTP fingerprints to be identical to that of one of these real browsers.
Unlike other HTTP clients curl-impersonate can bypass TSL and HTTP fingerprinting and detection techniques though it does not implement anything for Javascript fingerprint or bypass.

Example Use
require 'http/2'
# GET request
client = HTTP2::Client.new
response = client.get("https://httpbin.org/get")
puts response.body
# POST reuqest
data = { name: "value" }
response = client.post("https://www.example.com", data)
curl-impersonate installs itself under `curl_` terminal commands like `curl_chrome116`:
To use it in HTTP client libraries that use `libcurl` replace curl path with one of these.
To use it in python directly see curl-cffi Python package
