# Protocol::HTTP2

Provides a low-level implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol.

[![Development Status](https://github.com/socketry/protocol-http2/workflows/Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/socketry/protocol-http2/actions?workflow=Test)

## Usage

Please see the [project documentation](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http2/) for more details.

  - [Getting Started](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http2/guides/getting-started/index) - This guide explains how to use the `protocol-http2` gem to implement a basic HTTP/2 client.

## Releases

Please see the [project releases](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http2/releases/index) for all releases.

### v0.28.0

  - Treat `RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR)` as an orderly stream closure rather than constructing a `StreamError`.

### v0.27.0

  - On a graceful `GOAWAY` (error code `0`), keep the connection open until the streams the remote peer accepted have completed, instead of closing it immediately and failing those requests with `EOFError`.
  - `Connection#create_stream` refuses to open a locally-initiated stream once a `GOAWAY` has been received, as required by RFC 9113 §6.8.

### v0.26.2

  - Ignore the reserved high bit when decoding GOAWAY last stream IDs.

### v0.26.1

  - Improve `StreamError` messages for HTTP/2 stream reset error codes.

### v0.26.0

  - On RST\_STREAM with REFUSED\_STREAM, close the stream with `Protocol::HTTP::RefusedError` instead of `StreamError`.

### v0.25.0

  - On GOAWAY, proactively close unprocessed streams (ID above `last_stream_id`) with `Protocol::HTTP::RequestRefusedError`, enabling safe retry of non-idempotent requests.

### v0.24.0

  - When closing a connection with active streams, if an error is not provided, it will default to `EOFError` so that streams propagate the closure correctly.

### v0.23.0

  - Introduce a limit to the number of CONTINUATION frames that can be read to prevent resource exhaustion. The default limit is 8 continuation frames, which means a total of 9 frames (1 initial + 8 continuation). This limit can be adjusted by passing a different value to the `limit` parameter in the `Continued.read` method. Setting the limit to 0 will only read the initial frame without any continuation frames. In order to change the default, you can redefine the `LIMIT` constant in the `Protocol::HTTP2::Continued` module, OR you can pass a different frame class to the framer.

### v0.22.1

  - Improved tracing performance by only tracing framer operations when in an active trace context.
  - Updated `protocol-http` dependency version in gemspec.
  - Code modernization and documentation improvements.

### v0.22.0

  - [Added Priority Update Frame and Stream Priority](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http2/releases/index#added-priority-update-frame-and-stream-priority)
