Secure HTTP2 requires the TLS extension ALPN (see rfc 7301 and
http://http2.github.io/http2-spec/ section 3.3). Our HTTP2 implementation
relies on OpenSSL's implementation. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is the first released version
of OpenSSL that has ALPN support, and this explains our dependency on it.
Note that the Makefile supports compiling only the unsecure elements of grpc,
and if you do not have OpenSSL and do not want it, you can still proceed
with installing only the elements you require. However, it is recommended
to encrypt your network traffic, therefore we urge you to not use the unsecure
version of grpc if possible.
