Azure API Management update – 20 December

On 20 December, we started a regular Azure API Management service update. It includes the following bug fixes, changes and new features: * **Improved validation of back-end URLs**. We now enforce valid back-end URLs in API configuration and set back-end policy. * **Renamed SSL blade**. The previous **SSL** blade has been renamed to **Protocol settings**. * **HTTP/2 support on the client side**. We now support HTTP/2 between clients and the API Management gateway. It can be enabled in **Protocol settings**. Note that updates are deployed gradually in batches, and it usually takes a week or so for every active service instance to receive them. * API Management * Features * [ API Management](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/api-management/)
