Abstract:

   HTTP intermediaries sometimes need to terminate long-lived request
   streams in order to facilitate load balancing or impose data limits.
   However, Web browsers commonly cannot retry failed proxied requests
   when they cannot ascertain whether an in-progress request was acted
   on.  To avoid user-visible failures, it is best for the intermediary
   to inform the client of upcoming request stream terminations in
   advance of the actual termination so that the client can wrap up
   existing operations related to that stream and start sending new work
   to a different stream or connection.  This document specifies a new
   "WRAP_UP" capsule that allows a proxy to instruct a client that it
   should not start new requests on a tunneled connection, while still
   allowing it to finish existing requests.
