fix: filter Host header for HTTP/2 requests (Google compatibility)#811
Conversation
HTTP/2 uses the :authority pseudo-header instead of the Host header. Having both Host and :authority headers causes protocol_error on strict HTTP/2 implementations like Google's servers. This change filters out the Host header in normalize_headers() when preparing HTTP/2 requests, since the :authority pseudo-header already contains the same information. Fixes HTTP/2 compatibility with: - www.google.com - *.googleapis.com (oauth2, storage, aiplatform, etc.) - Other strict HTTP/2 server implementations References: - RFC 7540 Section 8.1.2.3: "The :authority pseudo-header field includes the authority portion of the target URI"

Summary
Filter out the
Hostheader when preparing HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 uses the:authoritypseudo-header instead, and having both causes{stream_error, protocol_error}on strict HTTP/2 implementations.Problem
hackney 2.0.0-beta.1 HTTP/2 requests were failing on Google servers with:
{error, {stream_error, protocol_error}}Root cause: hackney was sending both
Hostheader AND:authoritypseudo-header in HTTP/2 HEADERS frames. While RFC 7540 allowsHostfor compatibility, Google's strict implementation rejects requests with both.Solution
Filter out
Hostheader innormalize_headers/1when preparing HTTP/2 headers. The:authoritypseudo-header already contains the same host information.Testing
Verified working with:
All 848 existing tests pass.
