NAME

Unblock::HTTP2::Transaction - one HTTP/2 request/response transaction

DESCRIPTION

A Transaction represents one HTTP request/response exchange carried by one multiplexed HTTP/2 stream.

request() returns the Uniform request. response() returns the Uniform response once one is available.

STREAMING BODIES

For a streaming local body:

$transaction->write($chunk);
$transaction->end($last_chunk);

write() always accepts the bytes. A false return means the cooperative high-water mark was reached. Wait for on_drain before producing more.

Incoming body bytes are consumed automatically after the body callback returns.

For manual receive flow control:

$transaction->auto_consume(0);
$transaction->consume($bytes_processed);

unconsumed_bytes() reports body bytes still waiting for stream-level credit.

SERVER RESPONSES

A server Transaction can send an informational response with:

$transaction->inform($response);

The final response uses:

$transaction->respond($response);

Pass stream_body => 1 to respond() to produce the response body with write() and end().

RESETS

cancel() sends the standard HTTP/2 CANCEL reset.

reset($error_code) sends an explicit RST_STREAM reason.

The Transaction preserves:

error
error_code
error_name
reset_by_peer

These facts are exposed for higher-level retry and policy decisions.

PRIORITY

Client Transactions can use update_priority($field_value) to send an RFC 9218 PRIORITY_UPDATE after the peer has enabled modern priorities.

STATE

Useful state accessors include:

stream_id
state
is_complete
is_cancelled
is_terminal

HTTP/2 half-close is preserved. One direction may finish before the full Transaction becomes terminal.
