Support for http/2 with UnityWebRequest

Unity Engine
1

In almost all cases of game development using Unity, developers have patch updates where they download Asset Bundles using a http request as described here: Unity - Manual: Downloading an AssetBundle from an HTTP server (GET)

We are limited to using http/1.1. Can Unity support http/2 so that users can download at greater speeds to improve performance and delivery of updates?

Any news on this one? Not finding anything useful about UnityWebRequest and HTTP2

In general HTTP2 is not supported.
Some platforms may have support for it, but those are a minority.
