we encounter something:

by setting "http2_max_requests 1;" in nginx and using libcurl (multi handle + libuv) and it gives the error Failure when receiving data from the peer (almost) every time (every 10 ~ 15 request there will be a success).

(nginx v1.12.2 with http2 module | curl v7.58.0/7.59.0 | nghttp2 v1.29).

with the same version, using curl cmd, everyting is fine.

By capture tcp packet we see that the data has finished transfering and follow by "Encrypted Alert" and FIN from server.

so i guess that it has something to do with connection reusing inside multi handle.

I managed to reproduce this problom somehow by little modifing to the exmple of multi-uv.c as shown below:

#include <stdio.h>

when doing this i set http2_max_requests 10; in nginx config files.

and it will produce some files with 0 sizes:

How many "max concurrent streams" does the server advertise?

these http2 configs are used (in a vhost):

http2_max_concurrent_streams 128;
http2_idle_timeout  15m;
http2_max_requests  10;
http2_recv_timeout 60s;

Thanks for the added details. I've installed an nginx myself with a config using similar options. I can reproduce this problem. My slightly amended version of your code: issue-2416.c. It uses a single fixed URL and lets the user specify how many to fetch in parallel.

Status update:

There's at least two problems in libcurl that this test case shows and suffers from. (pro tip: setting SSLKEYLOGFILE and running wireshark in parallel to this test case is awesome)

  1. libcurl doesn't properly react on the GOAWAY that the server sends after N requests. A feedback for @tatsuhiro-t would be that it's not really clearly documented exactly what we get back from nghttp2 when we get that frame over the wire. Right now, it leads to a REFUSED_STREAM error that we don't handle properly. It should lead to libcurl trying the request again on another or a fresh connection. GOAWAY should lead to this connection getting closed and not used for any further requests.

  2. Due to the CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS setting, there's a "queue" of transfers that want to use the connection that gets the GOAWAY. That queue is then wrongly treated as a reason for the code to not close the connection - since it thinks there are pending transfers to get sent over it! Of course, pending transfers like this should not be associated with a fixed connection.

By setting CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS to 1 in the test application and http2_max_requests to 5 in the nginx config, this problem can be triggered already at 6-7 transfers (I use 4KB body sizes).

I'm working on fixes for these issues.

The error code which indicates that stream was closed because of incoming GOAWAY is REFUSED_STREAM, and it is passed to on_stream_close_callback. I admit that I haven't documented it in nghttp2 manual.

Thanks for confirming this @tatsuhiro-t, I figured it was like that!

When receiving REFUSED_STREAM, mark the connection for close and retry
streams accordingly on another/fresh connection.
