Description

Description: When downloading a lot of medium-sized files from Nginx HTTP/2 server, if requests are frequently canceled (RST_STREAM), eventually the connection will timeout and not be able to send/receive any data from the server.

On the server side configure the server to support HTTP/2 with a self-signed certificate. And host about 100 files with size about 500k each.
On the client side, I built an Android test, using a single thread to download the file from file no.1 to file no.100 consequently. During each download, the request is canceled and then proceed to download the next file. Eventually, the request will timeout. Depending on the setup the timeout may happen on different download. But once the testing environment is set, it always failed on the same file.

The server IP is 10.0.0.186
The client IP is 10.0.0.135

Server timeout is the default 60 seconds
Client timeout is set to 120 seconds

A filtered (sid:75) server log shows that the header frame has been sent on 14:39:32 and then timed out after 60 seconds. Note, it is not always the header frame though. Sometimes it is the data frame not being sent out.

To add on, more information for the client.
OS Android 6.0 (reproducible on 5.0/7.0, too). Not reproducible on KitKat since it didn't support TLSv1.2, so it falls back to HTTP 1.1
HTTP library, OKHttp 3.10.0

Your client never sends WINDOW_UPDATE except right after the connection establishment, so when the window is closed (after having sent approximately 37 500k files) the writing stalls and eventually times out. Here's a relevant snippet from the nginx debug log:
