HttpProxy and Http2Client (719 LOC) shipped a reverse-proxy adapter and outbound HTTP/2 client from flash core with zero callers anywhere in the server itself — only each other and their own tests. An HTTP/1.1+2 server framework has no business bundling an outbound client; that capability belongs in its own flash-extensions/flash-ext-* module if/when it's needed. Removed, along with the now-dead src/bench load driver that depended on Http2Client (no replacement client written here — flagged as follow-up work, not silently dropped). docs/http2/ had accumulated core, cross-protocol documentation alongside genuine HTTP/2-protocol internals: HTTP1-HARDENING, TRANSPORT, MESSAGE-MODEL, TRAILERS-AND-STREAMING and BYTES all describe machinery HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 share, not HTTP/2 specifically. Moved to a new docs/core/, leaving docs/http2/ to the protocol layers, wire internals and operational docs that are actually HTTP/2-specific. CLEARTEXT-AND-PROXY.md renamed to CLEARTEXT.md and its now-removed upstream-client section cut, matching the source removal above. README.md: removed the "HTTP/2 upstream proxy" section (documented the deleted HttpProxy/Http2Client), the flash-bench module row and build command (not a module that exists in this repo), and fixed every doc link to the new docs/core/ paths. Added the new FlashConfiguration.maxConnections field to the configuration reference. src/bench/ (a load-test harness distinct from the JMH suite, not wired into any Maven profile or CI) is committed here for the first time.
Flash core
The parts of Flash shared by every protocol it speaks — HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 alike. Protocol-specific
internals (frames, HPACK, stream state) live in ../http2/.
- HTTP/1.1 hardening — message-boundary rules, timeouts and negotiation.
- Transport — listeners, connection ownership, TLS and virtual threads.
- Message model — shared request/response objects and their lifetime contract.
- Trailers and streaming — the public cross-protocol APIs.
- Byte primitives — reusable views, scanning and bounded slice lifetimes.
