+### Disabling HTTP/2
+The exclusive use of HTTP/1 is possible by setting `httpVersion` to `.http1Only` on `HTTPClient.Configuration`:
+```swift
+var configuration = HTTPClient.Configuration()
+configuration.httpVersion = .http1Only
+let client = HTTPClient(
+    eventLoopGroupProvider: .createNew,
+    configuration: configuration
+)
