Unlike the original stateless HTTP/1, HTTP/2 has many stateful components.

These parts of HTTP/2 are stateful:

Are there any other parts of HTTP/2 that are stateful?

  • @Farside This question is older. Also, this question is asking about which components are stateful, not if the protocol is stateless. **HTTP/2 is stateful**, and this question assumes that the reader already knows this or can reasonably infer this from the first sentence. – Zamicol Apr 12 '17 at 02:33
  • @Farside Also, you are the author of the current answer, which I suspect gives concern for further bias. – Zamicol Apr 12 '17 at 03:00
  • you are just speculating on the subject, without understanding of OSI model. HTTP/1.0 is **not** stateful. The same is fully true about HTTP/2, as application layer still remains stateless... however it does have a few stateful components according to RFC. An HTTP/2 connection is an application-layer protocol running on top of a TCP connection. Don't mix it with session and transport layers. – Farside Apr 12 '17 at 16:55

    @Farside. You are 50% wrong. **HTTP/1.0 is stateless.** No stateful mechanisms were defined by the original spec. You are correct as you say it was stateless. The addition of cookies add state on top of the original HTTP spec. **HTTP/2.0 is stateful.** HTTP/2.0 defines new stateful mechanisms in its standard. You don't have to use it statefully, but it's still there. I don't know how else to communicate this to you. This is a simple matter. And please, don't be a jerk and say things like "without understanding of OSI model". This is unbecoming of an Internet citizen. – Zamicol Apr 12 '17 at 17:39

HTTP 2 adds many stateful components to the HTTP corpus.

The following are stateful components carried from previous HTTP additions which are still stateful in HTTP 2.
