== Name

gun_push - Server-initiated push

== Description

[source,erlang]
----
{gun_push, ConnPid, StreamRef, NewStreamRef, Method, URI, Headers}

ConnPid      :: pid()
StreamRef    :: gun:stream_ref()
NewStreamRef :: gun:stream_ref()
Method       :: binary()
URI          :: binary()
Headers      :: [{binary(), binary()}]
----

Server-initiated push.

This message informs the relevant process that the server
is pushing a resource related to the effective target URI
of the original request.

A server-initiated push message always precedes the response
to the original request.

This message will not be sent when using the HTTP/1.1 protocol
because it lacks the concept of server-initiated push.

== Elements

ConnPid::

The pid of the Gun connection process.

StreamRef::

Identifier of the stream for the original request.

NewStreamRef::

Identifier of the stream being pushed.

Method::

Method of the equivalent HTTP request.

URI::

URI of the resource being pushed.

Headers::

Headers of the equivalent HTTP request.
