Step 2: Update Your Server

It is always better to first update your installed packages with the latest
stable version available from the Debian repo using apt update or apt-get
update command. This will prevent any unforeseen issues which might come
up due to older version of dependent packages installed in the System.

Step 5: Using curl utility

It is now time to test the usage of curl utility. You can run a simple curl
command to get the http header of URL google.com using curl -I
https://www.google.com command as shown below. This gives a status code
of 200 which means google.com supports HTTP/2 protocol.

root@debian:~# curl -I https://www.google.com

HTTP/2 200
