@function

Submits PUSH_PROMISE frame.

The |flags| is currently ignored. The library handles the CONTINUATION frame internally and it correctly sets END_HEADERS to the last sequence of the PUSH_PROMISE or CONTINUATION frame.

The |stream_id| must be client initiated stream ID.

The |nva| is an array of name/value pair :type:nghttp2_nv with |nvlen| elements. The application is responsible to include required pseudo-header fields (header field whose name starts with “:”) in |nva| and must place pseudo-headers before regular header fields.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in |nva|. It also lower-cases all names in |nva|. The order of elements in |nva| is preserved. For header fields with :enum:NGHTTP2_NV_FLAG_NO_COPY_NAME and :enum:NGHTTP2_NV_FLAG_NO_COPY_VALUE are set, header field name and value are not copied respectively. With :enum:NGHTTP2_NV_FLAG_NO_COPY_NAME, application is responsible to pass header field name in lowercase. The application should maintain the references to them until :type:nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback or :type:nghttp2_on_frame_not_send_callback is called.

The |promised_stream_user_data| is a pointer to an arbitrary data which is associated to the promised stream this frame will open and make it in reserved state. It is available using nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data(). The application can access it in :type:nghttp2_before_frame_send_callback and :type:nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback of this frame.

The client side is not allowed to use this function.

To submit response headers and data, use nghttp2_submit_response().

This function returns assigned promised stream ID if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

:enum:NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM Out of memory. :enum:NGHTTP2_ERR_PROTO This function was invoked when |session| is initialized as client. :enum:NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_ID_NOT_AVAILABLE No stream ID is available because maximum stream ID was reached. :enum:NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT The |stream_id| is 0; The |stream_id| does not designate stream that peer initiated. :enum:NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED The stream was already closed; or the |stream_id| is invalid.

.. warning::

This function returns assigned promised stream ID if it succeeds. As of 1.16.0, stream object for pushed resource is created when this function succeeds. In that case, the application can submit push response for the promised frame.

In 1.15.0 or prior versions, pushed stream is not opened yet when this function succeeds. The application must not submit frame to that stream ID before :type:nghttp2_before_frame_send_callback is called for this frame.
