While I agree with the change, actually documented is the previous behavior. So this is a change in behavior, and documentation will need updating as well to actually reflect this new behavior (patch incoming). I have to say I don't like the idea of backporting such changes. We have documented and trained users that H2 doesn't respect "timeout http-keep-alive" and that it uses "timeout client" instead. We even argued that this is a good thing because we want H2 connections to stay up longer. I suggest not changing documented behavior in bugfix releases of stable and stable/LTS releases. cheers, lukas
