1914425 - HTTP/2: graceful handling of change of network during connection establishment

Status: NEW

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Andrew Creskey [:acreskey]]

To my understanding, HTTP/3 allows seamless connection migration via QUIC, but HTTP/2, relying on TCP, doesn't support this due to the need to reset connections when the network changes.

While seamless migration isn't possible in HTTP/2, we could potentially improve how a change of network is handled during connection establishment.

Switching networks mid-connection can happen frequently for mobile users.

Bug 1706377 made progress in this space, but I understand that the changes are mostly for VPN users.

Removing from current project scope because this isn't directly actionable without specific test cases.
