This commits changes the upper bound of one header field size (the sum
of the length of name and value) to 64KiB by default. We may add an
option to change this upper bound in the future.
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.
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.
It is generally useful to know what is the cause of the error. Since
we expose HPACK API, it is friendly to tell application the
insufficient buffer size is a culprit.
Doing inflation after error produces invalid results, especially, if
it is in NGHTTP2_HD_STATE_READ_INDEX, the inflater->left could be 0,
which causes assertion error. Add sanity assertion for index
* 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
This stream inflater can inflate incoming header block in streaming
fashion. Currently, we buffer up single name/value pair, but we chose
far more smaller buffer size than HTTP/2 frame size.
Now, in nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback, nva and nvlen in
HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frames are always NULL and 0 respectively.
The header name/value pairs are emitted successive
nghttp2_on_header_callback functions. The end of header fields are
signaled with nghttp2_on_end_headers_callback function.
Since NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE for nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback is
introduced to handle header block, it is now deprecated.
Instead, nghttp2_on_header_callback can be paused using
NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE.
