        The current behavior is to close the connection with a protocol error.

        According to RFC 7540:

        Endpoints MUST treat a request or response that contains
        undefined or invalid pseudo-header fields as malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).

        Also:

        Just as in HTTP/1.x, header field names are strings of ASCII
        characters that are compared in a case-insensitive fashion. However,
        header field names MUST be converted to lowercase prior to their
        encoding in HTTP/2. A request or response containing uppercase
        header field names MUST be treated as malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).

        Section-8.1.2.6:
         Malformed requests or responses that are detected MUST be treated as a stream error (Section 5.4.2) of type PROTOCOL_ERROR.
