trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.
'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher
priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for
processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical'
is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable
local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped
as well. This makes reverse proxy mapping available for resources
With 103 interim responses being forwarded to the main client connection,
this effectively allows early pushing of resources by a reverse proxied
backend server. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for newly proposed 103 status code.

available also in normal deployments. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented
up to the backend. Reused HTTP/2 proxy connections with more than a second
not used will block request bodies until a PING answer is received.
Requests headers are not delayed by this, since they are repeatable in
case of failure. This greatly increases robustness, especially with
busy server and/or low keepalive connections. [Stefan Eissing]

Small fixes in bucket beams when forwarding file buckets. Output handling

Workaround for http: when forwarding partial file buckets to keep the

*) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting

the server has to wait on client flow control grants.
This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second.
When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests
(GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that
not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the
connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
