As far as I can tell, the issue is that because HTTP/2 is actually two-way communication, when the client goes to send WINDOW_UPDATE, PING or even request more data it receives back an RST from the kernel because the worker has now gone away. So the stream is complete but the client is unaware that the connection is actually closed. This has been reproduced 1.10.3, 1.11.2 and 1.13.12 To be clear, this is unrelated to the send_timeout. From NGINX's point of view the download completes successfully. I understand this would be a tricky problem as I do not know that the combination of TCP and HTTP/2 provide a mechanism to tell the client""the current stream will be completed but that no other application-level messages should be sent on this connection"". '''Step to Reproduce''' 1 - Create a server block with http2 enabled (for comparison, I also have a non-http2 listen port) 2 - Initiate a download that takes, say, 1+ minutes to download (for local testing, I used `rate_limit`) over the http2 port. 3 - While that is running, issue an nginx reload 4 - Watch access logs and when you see it complete in nginx (with no errors) the download will fail, often at 99%. In case of curl it reports ""unexpected EOF"". Chrome's http2 inspector will show a read error For my purposes I ran the curls in a loop and issued reloads after I saw ""Done with 3"" and ""Done with 8"" {{{ for i in `seq 1 10`; do curl -s -o /dev/null -k ""https://127.0.0.1:2443/7mb.dat?foo=$i""; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo ""Done with $i""; else echo ""Failed $i""; fi ; done Done with 1 Done with 2 Done with 3 Failed 4 Done with 5 Done with 6 Done with 7 Done with 8 Failed 9 Done with 10 }}} Note: This works best if it takes 1 or 2 minutes as it's important to be able to have data in the tcp buffer I believe (otherwise the closing of the connection will immediately correspond with all data delivered). Perform same steps using HTTP/1 and of course it will complete successfully '''Configuration I use''' {{{ server { listen 127.0.0.1:443 ssl; listen 127.0.0.1:2443 ssl http2; limit_rate 512k; access_log /tmp/http2test.access.log; error_log /tmp/http2test.error.log; ssl_certificate unittest.crt; ssl_certificate_key unittest.key; root html; } }}} " defect closed major other 1.13.x fixed http2,reload 4.13 kernel "nginx version: nginx/1.11.2 built by gcc 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC) built with OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016 TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-debug --with-threads --with-http_v2_module --with-openssl=/tmp/build-nginx.SYvnH/openssl-OpenSSL_1_0_2j"
