Enable HTTP/2 in the default transport.
When Protocol is UNKNOWN, the primary transport advertises h2 but leaves Protocols nil. Because it uses a custom DialTLSContext and TLSClientConfig, Go 1.26 keeps HTTP/2 disabled. A server that negotiates h2 therefore has no HTTP/2 handler in this transport, and the request can fail.
Suggested fix
} else if httpx.Options.Protocol == HTTP2 {
var p http.Protocols
p.SetHTTP2(true)
transport.Protocols = &p
+ } else {
+ var p http.Protocols
+ p.SetHTTP1(true)
+ p.SetHTTP2(true)
+ transport.Protocols = &p
}Add an end-to-end test with an httptest TLS server that has EnableHTTP2 set. Use Protocol: UNKNOWN, then assert that the request succeeds with resp.ProtoMajor == 2.

Use h2 for the secondary HTTP/2 probe dialer.
The secondary transport enables HTTP/2, but buildTLSDialer(options) advertises only http/1.1 when Protocol is HTTP11. The -http2 probe can then receive an HTTP/1.1 response or fail negotiation, so SupportHTTP2 returns false instead of detecting HTTP/2.
This is separate from enabling the primary transport's HTTP/2 handler.
Suggested fix

Handle http3 explicitly.
http3 enters the default branch in New and buildTLSDialer. The TLS configuration advertises only h2 and http/1.1, and this path has no QUIC or HTTP/3 transport. A user who selects -pr http3 therefore receives default TCP negotiation without a warning.
Either implement an HTTP/3 transport, or log a warning that http3 falls back to the default negotiation.

Normalize the protocol before constructing HTTPX.
ValidateOptions accepts HTTP11 and HTTP2, but runner passes the original casing to httpx.New. The case-sensitive branches then select default ALPN and skip the requested protocol-specific transport settings. Normalize the value at the runner boundary.
