- * push diary 
- *
- * - The push diary keeps track of resources already PUSHed via HTTP/2 on this
- *   connection. It records a hash value from the absolute URL of the resource
- *   pushed.
- * - Lacking openssl, it uses 'apr_hashfunc_default' for the value
- * - with openssl, it uses SHA256 to calculate the hash value
- * - whatever the method to generate the hash, the diary keeps a maximum of 64
- *   bits per hash, limiting the memory consumption to about 
- *      H2PushDiarySize * 8 
- *   bytes. Entries are sorted by most recently used and oldest entries are
- *   forgotten first.
- * - Clients can initialize/replace the push diary by sending a 'Cache-Digest'
- *   header. Currently, this is the base64url encoded value of the cache digest
- *   as specified in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kazuho-h2-cache-digest/
- *   This draft can be expected to evolve and the definition of the header
- *   will be added there and refined.
- * - The cache digest header is a Golomb Coded Set of hash values, but it may
- *   limit the amount of bits per hash value even further. For a good description
- *   of GCS, read here:
- *      http://giovanni.bajo.it/post/47119962313/golomb-coded-sets-smaller-than-bloom-filters
- * - The means that the push diary might be initialized with hash values of much
- *   less than 64 bits, leading to more false positives, but smaller digest size.
