Abstract
This document introduces the concept of "segments" to HTTP/2, and adds a flag to the DATA frame type to allow the expression segments. A "segment" is a contiguous block of HTTP message data that can be freely split apart and recombined at any time, allowing transmission in multiple HTTP/2 frames across network segments with smaller frame size limits without risk of permanent fragmentation when traversing network segments with much larger limits.
