nghttp2_mem structure is introduced to hold custom memory allocator
functions and user supplied pointer. nghttp2_mem object can be passed
to nghttp2_session_client_new3(), nghttp2_session_server_new3(),
nghttp2_hd_deflate_new2() and nghttp2_hd_inflate_new2() to replace
standard malloc(), free(), calloc() and realloc(). nghttp2_mem
structure has user supplied pointer mem_user_data which can be used as
per session/object memory pool.
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 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.
Use this macro in Python sources. Python module constant
HD_DEFLATE_HD_TABLE_BUFSIZE_MAX was renamed as
DEFLATE_MAX_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE since the previous name was awkward.
* 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.
