I reached the same conclusions and it was the last straw that caused me to suspend my implementation effort. Header streaming does not practically reduce state commitment for a proxy which coalesces connections. Coalescing is one of the most promising aspects of HTTP/2 for me. It would seem to be a must for reverse proxies, but yet it also seems impossible to accomplish according to the spec. I don’t gather that multi-session connections have been done before. So is it outside the charter or is it recommended practice? Has anyone even tried it yet? Looking back at the archives, I alluded to the technical side of the problem in messages sent 21 Apr 2014 20:17, 21 May 2014 09:01, 26 May 2014 17:27 (PDT) but for whatever reason never started a thread to address my perception or intended application directly.
