Will flow control be used even when an HTTP 2.0 connection is only being used to transfer a single file? Today if a peer is sending too fast, the application (web server or browser) can just not post a receiver buffer for the TCP stack to fill. Then the TCP stack takes care of informing the sender to slow down. With HTTP 2.0 I will have two layers both trying to do flow control. I get it when there are multiple streams active -- flow control at the HTTP 2.0 layer is needed. But is it needed if I'm just using HTTP 2.0 to transfer a single file? My apologies if this question was already asked and in general sorry for the barrage of posts today. Can you tell that I finally had time to read all the docs on the flight? Thanks, Peter
