Christian Ruppert reported an issue explaining that it's not possible to forcefully close H2 connections which do not receive requests anymore if they continue to send control traffic (window updates, ping etc). This will indeed refresh the timeout. In H1 we don't have this problem because any single byte is part of the stream, so the control frames in H2 would be equivalent to TCP acks in H1, that would not contribute to the timeout being refreshed. What misses from H2 is the use of http-request and keep-alive timeouts. These were not implemented because initially it was hard to see how they could map to H2. But if we consider the real use of the keep-alive timeout, that is, how long do we keep a connection alive with no request, then it's pretty obvious that it does apply to H2 as well. Similarly, http-request may definitely be honored as soon as a HEADERS frame starts to appear while there is no stream. This will also allow to deal with too long CONTINUATION frames. This patch moves the timeout update to a new function, h2c_update_timeout(), which is in charge of this. It also adds an "idle_start" timestamp in the connection, which is set when nb_cs reaches zero or when a headers frame start to arrive, so that it cannot be delayed too long. This patch should be backported to recent stable releases after some observation time. It depends on previous patch "MEDIUM: mux-h2: slightly relax timeout management rules".
