I would like to disable the caching of headers in the dynamic table of the
HTTP/2 HPACK compression algorithm described in RFC 7541. I have defined my
nginx server with
listen 8080
http2
;
and I've confirmed that the HPACK algorithm is working as expected with Huffman
encoding, static header table indexing, and dynamic header table indexing. But
I haven't been able to disable the dynamic table.
RFC 7541 mentions in "Section 4.2. Maximum Table Size" the ability of an HTTP/2
node to "clear entries from the dynamic table by setting a maximum size of 0,
which can subsequently be restored." Is that a feature supported by nginx? Can
I disable the dynamic table entirely so that no header fields are cached? And
can I arbitrarily send a flush request so that all entries are evicted and then
the dynamic table size is restored? If so, how?
I've been trying to play with "http2_max_field_size" and
"http2_max_header_size" in the server configuration file as described in
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_v2_module.html. But I don't think those
are the right parameters. When I set either of them to zero, it makes the
server return an error when a header is sent.
Thanks for any pointers you can give me.
