Indeed with cURL, this what I see:

    * ALPN, offering h2
    * ALPN, offering http/1.1
    (SNIP)
    * ALPN, server accepted to use h2

So cURL sends to the server that it supports HTTP/2.
What is surprising is that at startup, FreeRadius says that the rlm_rest
module is compiled against a libcurl version that seems to fully support
HTTP/2:
   
    Info: rlm_rest: libcurl version: libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1c-fips
zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.20.2 (+libidn2/2.0.5)
libssh/0.9.0/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.38.0

The things is that in rlm_rest/rest.c
(https://doc.freeradius.org/rest_8c_source.html), it seems that rlm_rest
only expects HTTP/1.1 and nothing else (line 1572).

I don't know if it's relevant to have a more "relaxed" control of what
protocol a server answers with, or if HTTP/2 should be explicitly
supported in the code.
