Server push never made any sense anyway for most subresources. The server doesn't know about the state of the browser's cache, so using server push for a subresource could cause it to needlessly push a subresource that was already cached by the browser.

Maybe it is useful outside of the browser context, e.g. in gRPC.



gRPC does not use PUSH_PROMISE frames.


I guess you could see if the client has a cookie, and infer cache state from that.
