integration - Compute sumin=1nftyfracH(2)nn7 and sumin=1nftyfracH2nn7

How to prove that




S1=n=1H(2)nn7=7ζ(2)ζ(7)+2ζ(3)ζ(6)+4ζ(4)ζ(5)352ζ(9) ?
S2=n=1H2nn7=ζ(2)ζ(7)72ζ(3)ζ(6)+13ζ3(3)52ζ(4)ζ(5)+556ζ(9) ?
where H(p)n=1+12p++1np is the nth generalized harmonic number of order p.





I came across these two sums while working on an tough one of wight 9 and I managed to find these two results but I don't think my solution is a good approach as it's pretty long and involves tedious calculations, so I am seeking different methods if possible. I am much into new ideas. All approaches are appreciated though.



By the way, do we have a generalization for n=1H(2)nna, for odd a? Note that there is no closed form for even a>4.



Thanks in advance.



Note: You can find these two results on Wolfram Alpha here and here respectively but I modified it a little bit as I like it expressed in terms of ζ(a) instead of πa.
