This is an experimental implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol
version 2.0.
There are command-line header compression test tools in hdtest

Header compression test tools
-----------------------------
The ``hdtest`` directory contains header compression test tools. The
``deflatehd`` is command-line header compression tool. The
``inflatehd`` is command-line header decompression tool. Both tools
read input from stdin and write output to stdout. The errors are
written to stderr. They take JSON as input and output.
deflatehd - header compressor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``deflatehd`` reads JSON array or HTTP/1-style header fields from
stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON array.
For the JSON input, the element of input array must be a JSON
object. Each object must have at least following key:
headers
A JSON array of name/value pairs. The each element is a JSON array
of 2 strings. The index 0 must contain header name and the index 1
must contain header value.
Example::
[
{
"headers": [
[ ":method", "GET" ],
[ ":path", "/" ]
]
},
{
"headers": [
[ ":method", "POST" ],
[ ":path", "/" ]
]
}
]
These header sets are processed in the order they appear in the JSON
outer most array using same compression context.
With ``-t`` option, the program can accept more familiar HTTP/1 style
header field block. Each header set is delimited by empty line:
Example::
:method: GET
:scheme: https
:path: /
:method: POST
user-agent: nghttp2
The output is a JSON array and each element is JSON object, which has
at least following keys:
seq
The index of header set in the input.
inputLen
The sum of length of name/value pair in the input.
outputLength
The length of compressed header block.
percentageOfOriginalSize
inputLen / outputLength * 100
output
The compressed header block in hex string.
Examples::
[
{
"seq": 0,
"inputLen": 66,
"outputLength": 20,
"percentageOfOriginalSize": 30.303030303030305,
"output": "818703881f3468e5891afcbf863c856659c62e3f"
},
{
"seq": 1,
"inputLen": 74,
"outputLength": 10,
"percentageOfOriginalSize": 13.513513513513514,
"output": "87038504252dd5918386"
}
]
The output can be used as the input for ``inflatehd``.
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``headerTable`` key is added and its
associated value contains the state of dyanmic header table after the
corresponding header set was processed. The value contains following
keys:
entries
The entry in the header table. If ``referenced`` is ``true``, it
is in the reference set. The ``size`` includes the overhead (32
bytes). The ``index`` corresponds to the index of header table.
The ``name`` is the header field name and the ``value`` is the
header field value. They may be displayed as ``**DEALLOCATED**``,
which means that the memory for that string is freed and not
available. This will happen when specifying smaller value in
``-S`` than ``-s``.
size
The sum of the spaces entries occupied, this includes the
entry overhead.
maxSize
The maximum header table size.
localSize
The sum of the spaces entries occupied within ``maxLocalSize``.
maxLocalSize
The maximum header table size encoder uses. This can be smaller
than ``maxSize``. In this case, encoder only uses up to first
``maxSize`` buffer.

inflatehd - header decompressor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``inflatehd`` reads JSON array from stdin and outputs decompressed
name/value pairs in JSON array. The element of input array must be a
JSON object. Each object must have at least following key:
output
compressed header block in hex string.
Example::
[
{ "output": "0284f77778ff" },
{ "output": "0185fafd3c3c7f81" }
]
The output is a JSON array and each element is JSON object, which has
at least following keys:
seq
The index of header set in the input.
headers
The JSON array contains decompressed name/value pairs. Each
element is JSON aray having 2 elements. The index 0 of the array
contains the header field name. The index 1 contains the header
field value.
Example::
[
{
"seq": 0,
"headers": [
[":authority", "example.org"],
[":method", "GET"],
[":path", "/"],
[":scheme", "https"],
["user-agent", "nghttp2"]
]
},
{
"seq": 1,
"headers": [
[":authority", "example.org"],
[":method", "POST"],
[":path", "/account"],
[":scheme", "https"],
["user-agent", "nghttp2"]
]
}
]
The output can be used as the input for ``deflatehd``.
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``headerTable`` key is added and its
associated value contains the state of dyanmic header table after the
corresponding header set was processed. The format is the same as
``deflatehd``.
