Support for http2

[FabianEmmes]

Currently, compression does not work with http2. I guess, when using http2, doing chunked transfer-enconding is not necessary, so I'm not sure if http2 support is in the scope of this project.

The following code tries to use http2 with compression and throws a TypeError: this._implicitHeader is not a function.

// tested with:
// "dependencies": {
// "compression": "^1.6.1",
// "connect": "^3.4.1",
// "http2": "^3.3.2"
// }

var connect = require('connect');
var http2 = require('http2');
var compression = require('compression');

var app = connect();

app.use(compression());

app.use(function(req, res, next){
 for (var i = 1000; i > 0; --i) {
 res.write('test');
 }
 res.end();
});

var options = {

Just vote to get the PR molnarg/node-http2#189 accepted. It doesn't work because one of the functions for compatibility with Node.js core HTTP was not spelled correctly in http2.

@dougwilson Is this still a problem?
