I think we are agreeing, thanks for the highlighting that point.

To go back to the specific problem with this in mind. It seems that the H2 layer is improperly configured to support the HTTP semantic of this particular use case. Which leads to the connection error; the implementation choosing not to execute the optional 4xx status doen't meet the client expectation.
