I am working on implementing http/2 for an ecommerce website my company made. I'm hosting it on debian jessie and found that it's now pretty easy to get nginx from the backports repo which was built against openssl 1.0.2 to support ALPN (which is necessary these days to work with chrome).
So I upgraded my libssl and then my nginx. To my great surprise, nginx now seems to be serving my content through http2 even though I didn't add that keyword to the config. Chrome's dev tools show h2 in the protocol column of the network tab.
Normally I would be happy about that, but I'd like to make some comparison measurements between http1.1 and http2. How can I force it to serve http1.1 again (temporarily) to make my measurements?
Edit: adding output of nginx -V to be specific about my version
$ nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.9.10

According to the documentation:
The http2 parameter (1.9.5) configures the port to accept HTTP/2 connections.
Thus any virtual server configured on this port will accept HTTP/2 connections. If you want to configure some hosts with HTTP/2 but other without, then you have to use different IP or ports.
