[PR] Add configurable HTTP/2 connection window size [httpcomponents-core]
arturobernalg opened a new pull request, #663:
URL: https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-core/pull/663
This change adds a local HTTP/2 connection window size setting to H2Config.
The new setting controls connection-level flow control only. It does not affect stream `INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE` and preserves the current behavior by default.

@arturobernalg What is exactly the intent of this change-set? Why do you want this to be configurable? What is the exact use case for this?

@ok2c
The intent is to make the connection-level receive window configurable independently of the stream initial window.
The use case is multiplexed H2 connections receiving large bodies, where per-stream windows alone do not bound total in-flight DATA for the connection.

For the record. No one asked for AI either, and yet we got OpenAI.

@arturobernalg And more importantly, why would anyone in their sane mind use any value other than MAX?

To my mind, the main use case is a gateway, proxy, sidecar, API aggregator, or backend-to-backend H2 client multiplexing many concurrent large upstream responses over a single connection.
Such clients may want to keep the per-stream window reasonably large, while limiting aggregate inbound data in flight at the connection level for tighter backpressure and more predictable resource usage.

@arturobernalg My daughter was _absolutely_ convinced she _really_ needed a pony when she was 7.
Is there a single user for this parameter? Anyone asked for it? Do you need it for your personal project? For any more or less serious use case this single parameter would likely not be enough. We would likely need a proper strategy interface here if actually anyone _really_ asked for a feature like this.

@ok2c Added a demo app that keeps the per-stream initial window fixed and varies only the connection-level receive window while transferring many large responses over a single H2 connection.
