+"""HTTP/2 ``SETTINGS`` frames build from a plain :obj:`dict`.
+
+GitHub issue #2223: ``HTTP._make_http_settings`` accepted a :obj:`dict` but
+called ``settings.items(multi=True)``, which only
+:class:`~pcapkit.corekit.multidict.MultiDict` supports, so a plain :obj:`dict`
+raised a stdlib :exc:`TypeError` instead of building the frame. A plain
+:obj:`dict` builds the same octets as the equivalent list of pairs, and an
+:class:`~pcapkit.corekit.multidict.OrderedMultiDict` keeps its repeated
+identifiers.
+
+Every case builds its own octets in memory and reads no capture. Classes are
+imported inside each test, after
+:func:`~tests._support.reimport_once_per_class`.
