Application can utilize this framework to send/receive user defined
extension frames. These frames are expected not to change existing
protocol behaviour.
When thread is created, we pause them. After all threads are created,
master thread sends signal to all worker threads and let them start to
benchmark. This will make thread start almost at the same time since
we can avoid thread creation overhead. It also exclude thread
creating time from benchmark time. We also simplified thread creation
routine, and now we always use dedicted worker thread to issue
requests even if -t1.
This change simplifies rate mode as proposed idea as plan B in GH-382.
In this change, we removed -C option. Instead, -c option is used to
specify the number of connections to be made, and it is now required
argument if more than 1 clients are required (this is usually the
case). The number of requests made per connection is calculated
simply by -n / -c.
-n option is handled specially when --timing-script-file is used. If
-n is used with --timing-script, it specifies the number of requests
-each client will make rather than the total number of requests h2load
-will perform across clients. This handling applies to rate mode too.
We also clarified the sematics about distribution of rate among the
threads.
This commit changes nghttpx's mruby script handling. Previously we
have 2 options to specify the mruby script file to be run on request
and on response. Now they are merged into 1 option, namely
--mruby-file. It now must return object. On request, the object's
on_req(env) method is invoked with env object. Similarly, on
response, the object's on_resp(env) method is invoked. The
specification of Env object has not changed.
If application returns NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE from send_data_callback, it
means application processed all data, but wants to make
nghttp2_session_mem_send or nghttp2_session_send return immediately.
This is useful if application writes to fixed sized buffers, and there
is no room to write more data.
This change adds new return error code from nghttp2_session_mem_recv
and nghttp2_session_recv functions, namely NGHTTP2_ERR_FLOODED. It is
fatal error, and is returned when flooding was detected.
Compile with BoringSSL except for neverbleed and libnghttp2_asio. The
former uses ENGINE and RSA_METHOD, and they are quite different
between OpenSSL and BoringSSL. The latter uses boost::asio, which
calls OpenSSL functions deleted in BoringSSL.
To keep ipc channel being read from worker process, default loop
should not be stopped. To join all worker threads, now we use
dedicated thread to do this. When all worker threads are joined,
ev_async_send sends message to default loop, and it is finally
stopped.
