single bit flag, denoted as 'H' in this document (indicating whether the string
is Huffman-coded), followed by the Length encoded as a 7-bit prefix integer, and
finally Length bytes of data. When Huffman encoding is enabled, the Huffman
table from {{Section B of RFC7541}} is used without modification, and Length
table from {{Section B of RFC7541}} is used without modification and Length
indicates the size of the string after encoding.

This document expands the definition of string literals by permitting them to

QPACK mitigates, but does not completely prevent, attacks modeled on CRIME
({{CRIME}}) by forcing a guess to match an entire field line rather than
individual characters. An attacker can only learn whether a guess is correct or
not, so it is reduced to a brute-force guess for the field values associated
with a given field name.

Therefore, the viability of recovering specific field values depends on the
entropy of values. As a result, values with high entropy are unlikely to be

Implementations should limit the size of unsent data, especially on the decoder
stream where flexibility to choose what to send is limited. Possible responses
to an excess of unsent data might include limiting the ability of the peer to
open new streams, reading only from the encoder stream or closing the
open new streams, reading only from the encoder stream, or closing the
connection.
