Apache httpd 2.4.37 with brotli compression library from Google, TLS 1.3 Final (RFC 8446), http2 (HTTP/2) support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS added to repository. Mod_ssl is built statically against OpenSSL 1.1.1.
Links:
Since 2.4.33 we added brotli compression library. Since 2.4.35 release we start building Apache httpd against OpenSSL 1.1.1. Since 2.4.37 release TLS 1.3 final version (not to be confused with any draft versions) is supported and enabled by default.
Please note that TLS 1.3 final version is only supported in Chrome 70 and Mozilla Firefox 63 for now.
brotli support is already included in base RPM file. All you need is to add filters like
AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript
Http2 Apache httpd module no longer supports prefork mpm from version 2.4.27. If you need http2 module, please disable prefork mpm and enable evemt mpm in /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf. We already made this in 00-mpm.conf in our packages. If you are updating other vendor installation, please update this file.
For correct work with SELinux please update the following boolean:
setsebool -P httpd_execmem=1
Feel free to use our CentOS/RHEL repository. Please also note that this package depends on apr-util 1.5.0+ and libnghttp, which you can found in EPEL repository. So, the easiest way to use our builds of Apache HTTPd is to add EPEL repository, if you still do not have it: yum install -y epel-release
