A stream may be shut without any HTX EOM reported. This is the case for QCS instances flagged with QC_SF_UNKNOWN_PL_LENGTH. In this case, shut is conducted with an empty FIN emission instead of a RESET_STREAM. This has been implemented since the following patch : 24962dd1784dd22babc8da09a5fc8769617f89e3 BUG/MEDIUM: mux-quic: do not emit RESET_STREAM for unknown length However, in case of HTTP/3, an empty FIN should only be done after a full message is emitted, which requires a HEADERS frame. If an empty FIN is emitted without it, client may interpret this as invalid and close the connection. To prevent this, fallback to a RESET_STREAM emission if not data were emitted on the stream. This was reproduced using ngtcp2-client with 10% loss (-r 0.1) on a remote host, with httpterm request "/?s=100k&C=1&b=0&P=400". An error ERR_H3_FRAME_UNEXPECTED is returned by ngtcp2-client when the bug occurs. Note that this change is incomplete. The message validity depends solely on the application protocol in use. As such, a new app_ops callback should be implemented to ensure the stream is closed accordingly. However, this first patch ensures that at least HTTP/3 case is valid while keeping a minimal backport process. This should be backported up to 2.8.
