​Thank you for working on this.
Our nghttp2 nghttpx proxy has supported this feature since this April.  So
we have 2 proxy implementations already​.
​At the moment, I'm not aware of any application server/framework​ that
allows developers to send non-final response.
But if they are interested in this draft, and find it useful, things may
change rapidly.
