Does anything change if you just remove that "http2"?

"Upgrade" is a http/1.1 header, not a http/2.0 header. So for an incoming
http/2.0 request, the variable should be empty.

I'm guessing that tcpdump is showing that the http/1.1 request to port
80 includes the Upgrade header; but is not showing anything about what
is in the encrypted http/2.0 request to port 443?
