Hello,

I've asked a question about Firefox HTTP/2 Trailers support here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1090654

The question:

HTTP/2 draft-14 Section 8.1. allows for an optional HEADERS frame
> ("trailers") following DATA frames in the HTTP request and response.
>
> https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-14#section-8.1
>
> This is required to support implementations like gRPC in the browser (and
> future protocols built on HTTP/2).
>
> Does Firefox currently support HTTP Trailers or just ignores them? Thanks.
>

And I've got a response:

apparently trailers are not supported right now in firefox (or rather
> silently discarded) - they get read in order to maintain the appropriate
> state in the header compressor, but then they are just thrown away.



I have another question: does Firefox team has plans for handling trailers
to fully support gRPC?

Please see gRPC protocol:
