Comment on HTTP 2.0: GTFO (General Termination of Future Operations)

Comments

"Receivers of a GTFO frame MUST NOT open additional streams on the connection, although a new connection can be established for new streams." Shouldn't that be "a new connection can be established for existing streams"? (Or did I misunderstand something here?)

You did misunderstand. Read the next sentence:

The purpose of this frame is to allow an endpoint to gracefully stop accepting new streams (perhaps for a reboot or maintenance), while still finishing processing of previously established streams.
