#1935 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Send cookie headers with HTTP2 Server Push

Description

I was experimenting with the use of HTTP2 Server Push to accelerate redirects by adding a Link: <location>; as=document; rel=preload to redirect responses.

I had some success, but noticed unwanted behavior on redirects to resources that require specific cookies (e.g. a session identifier).

It turns out that nginx doesn't forward the cookie header to the resource that's being pushed.

It seems that this is by design. I came across issue #1817 and #1851 and assume that this ticket will be closed as a duplicate.

I wonder if there is some spec text I can refer to that rules out these headers.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

As per #2432, HTTP/2 server push support has been removed in nginx 1.25.1, and therefore this enhancement is no longer relevant.
