Priorities are done only per HTTP/2 + // session, normally we have one session per one origin (including origin + // attributes!) Requests are dispatched (sent) immediately on an HTTP/2 + // session. Each session has artificial streams (groups) relating to the class + // of service flags (Leader, Other, Background, Speculative, Follower, + // UrgentStart), each such a stream is given a different weight (only way to + // give a stream a priority in HTTP/2) reflecting the desired request group + // priority. Actual request streams are then dependent on these artificial + // streams (groups). nsISupportsPriority of each request is passed as a weight + // on the HTTP/2 stream to prioritize streams in the same group. A stream can + // also be dependent on other stream. We have dependency of Followers on + // Leaders, hence everything set the Follower flag should be processed by the + // server after Leaders.
