Replying to myself, this does not work, because Browser may not send
WINDOW_UPDATE if its stream window is very large (e.g. 10M) compared to
Proxies (e.g., 64K).  Most of the http2 implementation seems to send
WINDOW_UPDATE when window is reduced its half, so sending 64K data does not
make Browser send WINDOW_UPDATE...
