HTTP/2 PING frame handling

[claraccio]

HTTP/2 has a ping/pong protocol, but I do not see how it can be customized via the reactor-netty API.

I only use HTTP/2 as a client so I do not know about the server side.

A feature that would be interesting is sending a PING frame at regular intervals (set by user), and if no PONG (PING ack) is received in a timely fashion (timeout set by user), then disconnect, and remove that connection from the pool.

Hello!
It seems this issue has been inactive, so I’d like to take it on.

From my understanding, the scope of the work would include:

• Checking the connection status using ping frames in the HTTP Client
• Closing the connection if it is deemed invalid

If I’ve missed anything or if there are additional requirements, please let me know.
I’d like to confirm before starting the work.

Thank you!
