I’m very excited to see someone tackling this again: I began taking a swing at it last year and abandoned it in favour of some of the other HTTP/2 work. However, I think it’s a vital addition and I really look forward to seeing it land.

For my part, I should note that HTTPChannel has a twin in HTTP/2 land, which is the combination of t.w._http2.H2Connection and t.w._http2.H2Stream. These will also want updating. However, once you’ve defined the shape of the patch for HTTPChannel I am happy to help out with reviewing that and making corresponding changes to the HTTP/2 side of things too.
