Sets the connection-wide initial flow control window and updates all stream windows (but not the connection

Represents the value for
SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE. This method should only be called by Netty (not users) as a result of a receiving a SETTINGS frame.

Increments the size of the stream's flow control window by the given delta.

 In the case of a Http2RemoteFlowController this is called upon receipt of a WINDOW_UPDATE frame from the remote endpoint to mirror the changes to the window size. 
 For a Http2LocalFlowController this can be called to request the expansion of the window size published by this endpoint. It is up to the implementation, however, as to when a WINDOW_UPDATE is actually sent. 
Params:
  • stream – The subject stream. Use Http2Connection.connectionStream() for requesting the size of the connection window.
  • delta – the change in size of the flow control window.
Throws:
/**
