5. Primitive Type Representations

  • Sends a Huffman-encoded string literal representation with padding longer than 7 bits
  • Sends a Huffman-encoded string literal representation padded by zero
  • Sends a Huffman-encoded string literal representation containing the EOS symbol

6. Binary Format

  • Sends a indexed header field representation with index 0
  • Sends a dynamic table size update larger than the value of SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE

🔧 Test Configuration

Test 5.1.1.2: Stream identifier validation failure

  • Status: Failing (1 of 146 tests)
  • Issue: Server responds with DATA frame instead of GOAWAY with PROTOCOL_ERROR when receiving stream ID numerically smaller than previous
  • Expected: GOAWAY Frame (Error Code: PROTOCOL_ERROR) + Connection closed
  • Actual: DATA Frame (length:185, flags:0x01, stream_id:5)
  • Impact: Minor protocol violation in stream ID ordering validation

✅ Protocol Compliance Summary

The HT2 server achieves 99.3% compliance with the HTTP/2 specification:

  • 145 h2spec tests pass in both CI and local environments
  • 1 test fails (5.1.1.2 - stream identifier ordering validation)
  • Total: 145 of 146 HTTP/2 protocol requirements satisfied

This represents near-complete HTTP/2 protocol compliance suitable for most production use cases.
