 > **Note** — Apache / ISAPI / CGI / FastCGI Application types (below) do **not** use any of these Providers. The host process (Apache, IIS, the web server) owns the socket; Horse runs in-process. See [Providers & Application types](./doc/providers.md) for the full model.
 
 > **Delphi-Cross-Socket installation** — clone [`winddriver/Delphi-Cross-Socket`](https://github.com/winddriver/Delphi-Cross-Socket) (upstream) **plus** [`cnpack/cnvcl/.../Crypto`](https://github.com/cnpack/cnvcl/tree/master/Source/Crypto) for the required CnPack/Crypto units, and add search paths to your project. Three previously-fork-only bug fixes have been merged into upstream as of 2026-Q2, so the upstream mainline is correct for general use. For server-side **mutual TLS** (`SSLVerifyPeer = True` + `SSLCACertFile = ...`) use the pre-built release [`freitasjca/Delphi-Cross-Socket v1.0.3`](https://github.com/freitasjca/Delphi-Cross-Socket/releases/tag/v1.0.3) — single clone, CnPack bundled, mTLS APIs (`SetCACertificateFile` + `SetVerifyPeer`) ready to use. See [horse-provider-crosssocket Installation](./doc/providers.md#crosssocket-optional) for the full two-path breakdown.
 
 > **OverbyteICS installation** — the ICS Provider requires [OverbyteICS](https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download) (v9.x). **Install ICS following the official ICS instructions** — download/clone ICS and add its `Source/` folder to your project search path (ICS is not Boss-installable). For TLS, the OpenSSL libraries ship with ICS (DLLs on Windows, `.so` on Linux). The ICS Provider is **Delphi only — Windows and POSIX (Linux64 / macOS)** via ICS's own `Ics.Posix.*` message pump (on Linux use `HORSE_APPTYPE_DAEMON` + `THorseICSLinuxDaemonApp.Run`); a **Lazarus/FPC** port is not viable — ICS's POSIX layer rides the Delphi POSIX RTL and ICS compiles out OpenSSL under FPC. Its distinctive value is ICS's OpenSSL 3.x / 4.x stack (TLS 1.3, SNI, mTLS). See [horse-provider-ics](https://github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-ics) for setup, the A–K test suite, and known limitations.
 
+> **Delphi-nghttp2 installation** — `boss install github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-nghttp2` pulls the provider and its [`Delphi-nghttp2`](https://github.com/freitasjca/Delphi-nghttp2) dependency automatically. At runtime, **libnghttp2 ≥ 1.59** must be present (dynamic-loaded — no link-time dependency): on Windows, download the prebuilt DLL from the [curl for Windows bundle](https://curl.se/windows/); on Linux, `sudo apt install libnghttp2-14`; on macOS, `brew install nghttp2`. For TLS and gRPC, OpenSSL 3.x or 1.1 is auto-detected. **FPC trunk 3.3.1 required** (FPC 3.2.2 is a hard blocker). See [horse-provider-nghttp2](https://github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-nghttp2) for the full setup guide, TLS/mTLS config, and gRPC samples.
+
 > **HttpSys** — **no install**: the `Horse.Provider.HttpSys` unit ships with Horse and binds directly to Windows' `httpapi.dll` (http.sys), so there's no external library. Set `HORSE_PROVIDER_HTTPSYS` (Windows; Delphi or Lazarus). Because http.sys is a kernel-mode, machine-wide HTTP stack, binding a non-`localhost` host or a privileged port needs a one-time URL reservation (`netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:9000/ user=Everyone`) or Administrator rights; HTTPS uses the Windows certificate store via `netsh http add sslcert`. It is mutually exclusive with the CrossSocket / mORMot / ICS Providers (one transport per build).
 
 > **IOCP** — **no install**: the `Horse.Provider.IOCP` unit ships with Horse and binds directly to Windows' input/output completion ports using Winsock2 API for extremely high performance and scalability on Windows self-hosted application types. Set `HORSE_PROVIDER_IOCP` (Windows; Delphi or Lazarus). It is mutually exclusive with Indy, HttpSys and other socket providers (one transport per build).

 > **Nota** — Os tipos de aplicação Apache / ISAPI / CGI / FastCGI (abaixo) **não** usam nenhum desses Providers. O processo host (Apache, IIS, o webserver) é dono do socket; o Horse roda in-process. Veja [Providers e Tipos de aplicação](./doc/providers.pt-BR.md) para o modelo completo.
 
 > **Instalação do Delphi-Cross-Socket** — clone [`winddriver/Delphi-Cross-Socket`](https://github.com/winddriver/Delphi-Cross-Socket) (upstream) **junto com** [`cnpack/cnvcl/.../Crypto`](https://github.com/cnpack/cnvcl/tree/master/Source/Crypto) para as units CnPack/Crypto exigidas, e adicione os _search paths_ ao seu projeto. Três correções que antes eram exclusivas do fork já foram incorporadas ao upstream desde o 2º trimestre de 2026, então o mainline do upstream é adequado para uso geral. Para **mTLS** do lado servidor (`SSLVerifyPeer = True` + `SSLCACertFile = ...`) use o release pré-empacotado [`freitasjca/Delphi-Cross-Socket v1.0.3`](https://github.com/freitasjca/Delphi-Cross-Socket/releases/tag/v1.0.3) — um único clone, CnPack já incluso, APIs de mTLS (`SetCACertificateFile` + `SetVerifyPeer`) prontas para uso. Veja [Instalação do horse-provider-crosssocket](./doc/providers.pt-BR.md#crosssocket-opcional) para o detalhamento completo dos dois caminhos.
 
 > **Instalação do OverbyteICS** — o Provider ICS requer o [OverbyteICS](https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download) (v9.x). **Instale o ICS seguindo as instruções oficiais do ICS** — baixe/clone o ICS e adicione a pasta `Source/` ao _search path_ do seu projeto (o ICS não é instalável via Boss). Para TLS, as bibliotecas OpenSSL acompanham o ICS (DLLs no Windows, `.so` no Linux). O Provider ICS é **somente Delphi — Windows e POSIX (Linux64 / macOS)** via o pump de mensagens próprio do ICS (`Ics.Posix.*`) (no Linux use `HORSE_APPTYPE_DAEMON` + `THorseICSLinuxDaemonApp.Run`); um port para **Lazarus/FPC não é viável** — a camada POSIX do ICS usa a RTL POSIX do Delphi e o ICS desativa o OpenSSL no FPC. Seu diferencial é a pilha OpenSSL 3.x / 4.x do ICS (TLS 1.3, SNI, mTLS). Veja [horse-provider-ics](https://github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-ics) para configuração, a suíte de testes A–K e limitações conhecidas.
 
+> **Instalação do Delphi-nghttp2** — `boss install github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-nghttp2` instala o provider e sua dependência [`Delphi-nghttp2`](https://github.com/freitasjca/Delphi-nghttp2) automaticamente. Em tempo de execução, **libnghttp2 ≥ 1.59** deve estar disponível (carregada dinamicamente — sem dependência em tempo de link): no Windows, baixe a DLL pré-compilada do [pacote curl for Windows](https://curl.se/windows/); no Linux, `sudo apt install libnghttp2-14`; no macOS, `brew install nghttp2`. Para TLS e gRPC, o OpenSSL 3.x ou 1.1 é detectado automaticamente em tempo de execução. **FPC trunk 3.3.1 obrigatório** (FPC 3.2.2 é um bloqueador definitivo). Veja [horse-provider-nghttp2](https://github.com/freitasjca/horse-provider-nghttp2) para o guia completo de configuração, TLS/mTLS e exemplos de gRPC.
+
 > **HttpSys** — **sem instalação**: a unit `Horse.Provider.HttpSys` acompanha o Horse e usa diretamente a `httpapi.dll` do Windows (http.sys), portanto não há biblioteca externa. Defina `HORSE_PROVIDER_HTTPSYS` (Windows; Delphi ou Lazarus). Como o http.sys é uma pilha HTTP em modo kernel e de escopo da máquina, vincular um host diferente de `localhost` ou uma porta privilegiada exige uma reserva de URL única (`netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:9000/ user=Everyone`) ou direitos de Administrador; o HTTPS usa o repositório de certificados do Windows via `netsh http add sslcert`. É mutuamente exclusivo com os Providers CrossSocket / mORMot / ICS (um transporte por build).
 
 > **IOCP** — **sem instalação**: a unit `Horse.Provider.IOCP` acompanha o Horse e se vincula diretamente às portas de conclusão de E/S (Input/Output Completion Ports) do Windows utilizando a API Winsock2 para altíssimo desempenho e escalabilidade em tipos de aplicação self-hosted no Windows. Defina `HORSE_PROVIDER_IOCP` (Windows; Delphi ou Lazarus). É mutuamente exclusivo com Indy, HttpSys e outros providers de socket (um transporte por build).
