Commit dc57236 ("BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: advertise a larger connection window
size") caused a WINDOW_UPDATE message to be sent early with the connection
to increase the connection's window size. It turns out that it causes some
minor trouble that need to be worked around :
- varnishtest cannot transparently cope with the WU frames during the
handshake, forcing all tests to explicitly declare the handshake
sequence ;
- some vtc scripts randomly fail if the WU frame is sent after another
expected response frame, adding uncertainty to some tests ;
- h2spec doesn't correctly identify these WU at the connection level
that it believes are the responses to some purposely erroneous frames
it sends, resulting in some errors being reported
None of these are a problem with real clients but they add some confusion
during troubleshooting.
Since the fix above was intended to increase the upload bandwidth, we
have another option which is to increase the window size with the first
WU frame sent for the connection. This way, no WU frame is sent until
one is really needed, and this first frame will adjust the window to
the maximum value. It will make the window increase slightly later, so
the client will experience the first round trip when uploading data,
but this should not be perceptible, and is not worth the extra hassle
needed to maintain our debugging abilities. As an extra bonus, a few
extra bytes are saved for each connection until the first attempt to
upload data.
This should possibly be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
