Hi Valentin

Thanks for your email.

if it sees the end of buffer chain in nginx, it adds the END_STREAM flag
========================
Here the buffer chain means the ssl buffer?

The thing I am curious is that why nginx need to carry a data frame whose
payload length is zero. Nginx could add the END_STREAM flag in the previous
DATA frame.
Since I am doing some research work using nginx. I hope that the nginx only
return one DATA frame to me when I request an object. However, No matter
how small the object size is, nginx will always add an extra DATA frame
whose length is zero plus an END_STREAM flag. Do you have any suggestions
or could you please propose a configuration that NGINX will only return one
DATA frame for one stream. Many thanks

Regards
Muhui
