HTTP2: HpackDecoder might not throw HPackException although it should --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-5445 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5445 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Web (Undertow) Affects Versions: 10.0.0.CR2 Reporter: Jan Stourac Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Minor Generally according to the [specification|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-4.3]: In case when client sends corrupted header data to server - like incomplete header data - causing that server cannot decompress them properly, server should close connection with "COMPRESSION_ERROR" connection-error type. Current implementation of [HpackDecoder.java|https://github.com/undertow-io/undertow/blob/master/cor...] is although quite benevolent in such cases causing that connection is terminated later on with "PROTOCOL_ERROR" connection-error type. This is probably no big problem and actually is not big issue as connection is actually terminated although with wrong error type, but it is violation against specification.
