<p>This is an implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2
in C.</p>
<p>The framing layer of HTTP/2 is implemented as form of reusable C
library. On top of that, we have implemented HTTP/2 client, server
and proxy. Also we have developed load test/benchmarking tool for
HTTP/2 and SPDY.</p>
<p>HPACK encoding and decoding are available as public API.</p>
2014-07-18 14:34:21 +02:00
<p>We have Python binding of this libary, but we have not covered
everything yet.</p>

use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--frontend-no-tls</span></tt> option. If that option is used, SPDY is
disabled in the frontend and incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">src</span></tt> directory contains HPACK tools. The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">deflatehd</span></tt> is a
command-line header compression tool. The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inflatehd</span></tt> is
2014-01-10 17:07:30 +01:00
command-line header decompression tool. Both tools read input from
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
stdin and write output to stdout. The errors are written to stderr.
They take JSON as input and output. We use (mostly) same JSON data
format described at <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/http2jp/hpack-test-case">https://github.com/http2jp/hpack-test-case</a></p>

2014-01-11 09:08:37 +01:00
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">deflatehd</span></tt> reads JSON data or HTTP/1-style header fields from
stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON.</p>
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
<p>For the JSON input, the root JSON object must include <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cases</span></tt> key.
Its value has to include the sequence of input header set. They share
the same compression context and are processed in the order they
2014-02-16 07:51:22 +01:00
appear. Each item in the sequence is a JSON object and it must
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
include <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">headers</span></tt> key. Its value is an array of a JSON object,
2014-02-16 07:51:22 +01:00
which includes exactly one name/value pair.</p>

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2.HTTP2Server</span></tt> class builds on top of the asyncio event
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
loop. On construction, <em>RequestHandlerClass</em> must be given, which
must be a subclass of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2.BaseRequestHandler</span></tt> class.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BaseRequestHandler</span></tt> class is used to handle the HTTP/2 stream.
By default, it does nothing. It must be subclassed to handle each
event callback method.</p>
<p>The first callback method invoked is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_headers()</span></tt>. It is called
2014-03-03 17:17:25 +01:00
when HEADERS frame, which includes request header fields, has arrived.</p>
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
<p>If request has request body, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_data(data)</span></tt> is invoked for each
chunk of received data.</p>
<p>When whole request is received, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_request_done()</span></tt> is invoked.</p>
<p>When stream is closed, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_close(error_code)</span></tt> is called.</p>
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
<p>The application can send response using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_response()</span></tt> method.
It can be used in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_headers()</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_data()</span></tt> or
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_request_done()</span></tt>.</p>
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
<p>The application can push resource using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">push()</span></tt> method. It must be
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
used before <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_response()</span></tt> call.</p>
<p>The following instance variables are available:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>client_address</dt>
<dd>Contains a tuple of the form (host, port) referring to the
client&#8217;s address.</dd>
<dt>stream_id</dt>
2014-03-03 17:17:25 +01:00
<dd>Stream ID of this stream.</dd>
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
<dt>scheme</dt>
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
<dd>Scheme of the request URI. This is a value of :scheme header
field.</dd>
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
<dt>method</dt>
2014-04-08 17:17:05 +02:00
<dd>Method of this stream. This is a value of :method header field.</dd>
2014-02-24 17:49:22 +01:00
<dt>host</dt>
<dd>This is a value of :authority or host header field.</dd>
<dt>path</dt>
<dd>This is a value of :path header field.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The following example illustrates the HTTP2Server and
BaseRequestHandler usage:</p>
