Cause (Documented platform behavior): When the connection's read loop ends with EOF/net error after a GOAWAY, the transport reports http2GoAwayError with LastStreamID, ErrCode and debug data; closeForLostPing closes the connection with 'http2: client connection lost' and interrupts in-flight requests.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Retry behavior for requests with bodies depends on GetBody availability; not analyzed here.
Other error fragments:
- http2: client connection lost
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/go/release-branch.go1.25/src/net/http/h2_bundle.go (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): http2GoAwayError.Error format; readLoop converts EOF after GOAWAY into http2GoAwayError; closeForLostPing uses 'http2: client connection lost'.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- In-flight requests fail with a GOAWAY error (often ErrCode=NO_ERROR during graceful drains) or 'client connection lost' when health pings go unanswered.
- Context
- Product: Go net/http (bundled x/net/http2) Component: HTTP/2 client connection lifecycle Operation: Go clients holding HTTP/2 connections to gateways/LBs that drain connections or drop idle ones Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: net/http.http2GoAwayError Packages: go (net/http) checked release-branch.go1.25 Trigger: Server/LB closes the connection after GOAWAY while a stream was in flight (read EOF), or ReadIdleTimeout/PingTimeout detects a dead connection.

Proposed fix: [Go net/http HTTP/2] 'http2: server sent GOAWAY and closed the connection; LastStreamID=N, ErrCode=NO_ERROR, debug=""' and 'http2: client connection lost' (ping timeout) on long-lived co
Recommended action: Retry idempotent requests on these errors (ErrCode=NO_ERROR indicates a graceful drain); for long streams accept that LB drains will cut streams and resume at the application level.
