Hi Maxim,
thanks a lot for your reply. Could you please elaborate a little bit
which memory resources need to be freed periodically? How much memory
can be held by a connection? What's the worst case scenario?
We are currently running it in production with http2_max_requests set
to a value so high that the connection practically lives forever and
so far we cannot spot any problems but maybe we're missing something?
Regards,
Michael
