hello LIBCURL developers,

we have found a problem while trying to perform a multipart HTTP PUT
request against an HTTP 2.0 server (Jetty 9.3.14) using HTTR (an R library)
which in turn uses libcurl 7.50.3.

See below for the explanation by Simone Bordet (one of the dev leads of the
Jetty project).

I am also attaching the original log file although I don't think it makes
for an easy read.

Perhaps you will want to check the relevant code in case there is something
obvious to fix.

Happy to help with further logs / fiddler images / anything else you might
need.

(We have solved the problem by disabling ALPN on LIBCURL).

Many thanks,
Michele

What client are you using ?

I ask because the logs show that the last DATA frame (line 12305)
arrives with the last 48 bytes that would make the total of 1489449
bytes as specified by the Content-Length, but that DATA frame has
end=false, while it should have end=true.

Because there is no indication that the stream has ended, Jetty waits
for more data from the client until it times out.

In HTTP/2 the framing is done by the end stream flags, not by the fact
that the Content-Length has been reached.

It appears to me a client bug.
