Synopsis

#include <nghttp2/nghttp2.h>

int nghttp2_submit_goaway(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t last_stream_id, uint32_t error_code, const uint8_t *opaque_data, size_t opaque_data_len)

Submits GOAWAY frame with the last stream ID last_stream_id and the error code error_code.

The pre-defined error code is one of nghttp2_error_code.

The flags is currently ignored and should be nghttp2_flag.NGHTTP2_FLAG_NONE.

The last_stream_id is peer's stream ID or 0. So if session is initialized as client, last_stream_id must be even or 0. If session is initialized as server, last_stream_id must be odd or 0.

The HTTP/2 specification says last_stream_id must not be increased from the value previously sent. So the actual value sent as last_stream_id is the minimum value between the given last_stream_id and the last_stream_id previously sent to the peer.

If the opaque_data is not NULL and opaque_data_len is not zero, those data will be sent as additional debug data. The library makes a copy of the memory region pointed by opaque_data with the length opaque_data_len, so the caller does not need to keep this memory after the return of this function. If the opaque_data_len is 0, the opaque_data could be NULL.

After successful transmission of GOAWAY, following things happen. All incoming streams having strictly more than last_stream_id are closed. All incoming HEADERS which starts new stream are simply ignored. After all active streams are handled, both nghttp2_session_want_read() and nghttp2_session_want_write() return 0 and the application can close session.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

nghttp2_error.NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM

Out of memory.

nghttp2_error.NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT

The opaque_data_len is too large; the last_stream_id is invalid.
