Two days ago I mentioned I was selectively disabling HTTP/1.X on my personal site. Now that I’ve got two days of data, I’m increasingly convinced this is a good setup. The nginx-reported error rate has dropped to near zero. It seems bad actors strongly prefer the older protocols. I wrote up my approach and results for anyone interested.
