* Add NGHTTP2_HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED error code
* Allow transmission of WINDOW_UPDATE on reserved (remote)
* Allow reception of WINDOW_UPDATE on reserved (local)
* Treat frame larger than MAX_FRAME_SIZE as FRAME_SIZE_ERROR
ALPN identifier is still h2-14 to continue interop, since draft-14 and
-15 are binary compatible. The new error code was added in draft-15,
but HTTP/2 allows extensions can freely add new error code, so it is
not a problem.
It is not used by library for a while. It could be used to pass
unsupported extension frames to application, but its interface
requires library to buffer entire frame, which we'd like to avoid.
For unsupported extension frames, we will add new callbacks which does
not require buffering if they are required.
h2-14 now allows extensions to define new error codes. To allow
application callback to access such error codes, we uses uint32_t as
error_code type for structs and function parameters. Previously we
treated unknown error code as INTERNAL_ERROR, but this change removes
this and unknown error code is passed to application callback as is.
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.
Currently, nghttpd server only compresses files whose extensions are
one of .html, .js, .css and .txt. nghttp advertises its support of
per-frame compression in SETTINGS frame. To implement this feature,
we added 2 public API: nghttp2_session_get_remote_settings() and
nghttp2_gzip_inflate_finished().
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.
Since all headers are not always longer available on one
nghttp2_session_mem_recv call, received headers may be interleaved
with transmission log of the other frames. To make it clear that
each header belongs to which stream, each header is printed with
stream_id.
nghttp2_data is added to nghttp2_frame union. When DATA is
received, nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback is called. When DATA is
sent, nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback is called.
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.
