Previously in inflater we reserve new ringbuffer when table size is
changed. This may be potentially a problem if new table size is very
large number. When inflater is not used directly by application, this
is not a problem because application can choose the buffer size. On
the other hand, if application uses inflater directly and it does not
have control of new buffer size (e.g., protocol dissector), then we
just fail to allocate large buffer in
nghttp2_hd_inflate_change_table_size() without actually use such huge
buffer. This change defers the actual allocation of buffer when it is
actually needed so that we will fail when it is absolutely needed.
Add last_stream_id parameter to nghttp2_submit_goaway(). To terminate
connection immediately with application chosen last stream ID,
nghttp2_session_terminate_session2() was added.
ALTSVC and BLOCKED frames are now extension frames. To add new
extension frame without modifying nghttp2_frame union, which causes so
name bump, we separated extension frames from core frames.
nghttp2_frame includes generic nghttp2_extension. The payload member
of nghttp2_extension will point to the structure of extension frame
payload. The frame types of extension frames are defined in
nghttp2_ext_frame_type.
Previously we use 2 separate buffer for each name and value. The
problem is we would waste buffer space for name because it is usually
small. Also tuning buffer size for each buffer separately is not
elegant and current HTTP server practice is that one buffer for 1
name/value pair. This commit unifies 2 buffers into 1.
We simulate resource sharing by decreasing weight. The thing is if
weight is wrapped, that item continues to send DATA until its weight
gets lowered under the other items. This commits fix this issue.
Previously stream ID was assigned just before HEADERS or PUSH_PROMISE
was serialized and nghttp2_submit_{request, headers, push_promise} did
not return stream ID. The application has to check assigned stream ID
using before_frame_send_callback. Now it is apparent that priority is
meant to DATA transfer only. Also application can reorder the
requests if it wants. Therefore we can assign stream ID in
nghttp2_submit_* functions and return stream ID from them. With this
change, now application does not have to check stream ID using
before_frame_send_callback and its code will be simplified.
We inherited gzip compression API from spdylay codebase. In spdylay,
the cost of having such API is almost free because spdylay requires
zlib for header compression. nghttp2 no longer uses gzip to header
compression. zlib dependency exists just for gzip compression API,
which is not an essential. So we decided to move gzip code to under
src and remove zlib dependency from libnghttp2 itself. As nghttp2
package, we depend on zlib to compile tools under src.
The library interface supports compressed DATA. The library does not
deflate nor inflate data payload. When sending data, an application
has to compress data and set NGHTTP2_DATA_FLAG_COMPRESSED to
data_flags parameter in nghttp2_data_source_read_callback. On
receiving, flags parameter in nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback
includes NGHTTP2_FLAG_COMPRESSED. An application should check the
flags and inflate data as necessary. Since compression context is per
frame, when DATA is seen in nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback, an
application should reset compression context.
If stream with dpri value of no_data, we check any its descendant has
stream with dpri value of top. If so, we have to distribute of its
portion of weight to its descendants.
nghttp2_submit_{headers,request}: Return NGHTTP2_ERR_INVAILD_ARGUMENT
if pri_spec->type is invalid.
nghttp2_submit_push_promise: Return NGHTTP2_ERR_PROTO if issued by
client.
nghttp2_submit_altsvc: Return NGHTTP2_ERR_PROTO instead of
NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_STATE if issued by client.
Exceeding ACKed max concurrent streams results in connection error.
This change fixes the bug that num_{incoming,outgoing}_streams
is decremented wrongly if a stream is in reserved state and
RST_STREAM is send and its state is changed to NGHTTP2_STREAM_CLOSING.
This change also fixes the bug that transmission of push response
HEADERS does not increase num_outgoing_streams.
We need paddings regardless of payload and frame boundary to mitigate
certain attacks.
Since we handles CONTINUATION internally, we don't show FLAG_PAD_HIGH
and PAD_LOW flags of HEADERS in nghttp/nghttpd. We just show the
total paddings in HEADERS + CONTINUATION.
* Use 1 Huffman code table for both request and response
* Remove complicated deflater side table size management
* Add encoding context update
* Fix memory leak in inflater
Now previous padding options are removed and instead we added
select_padding_callback to select padding length for each frame
by application. If this callback is not implemented by application,
no padding is added.
This change also fixes the broken session_detect_idle_stream()
if stream_id is our side.
