As discussed here: https://github.com/httpwg/http2-spec/pull/936 https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/2941 It's important to take care of some special characters in the :authority pseudo header before reassembling a complete URI, because after assembly it's too late (e.g. the '/'). This patch does this, both for h2 and h3. The impact on H2 was measured in the worst case at 0.3% of the request rate, while the impact on H3 is around 1%, but H3 was about 1% faster than H2 before and is now on par. It may be backported after a period of observation, and in this case it relies on this previous commit: MINOR: http: add a function to validate characters of :authority Thanks to @DemiMarie for reviving this topic in issue #2941 and bringing new potential interesting cases.
