Remove the check to see that stream exists at the time when submitting
DATA, PRIORITY and WINDOW_UPDATE. We will do this check when we actually
serialize and send them off to the network (or application provided
buffer).
nghttp2 library itself now accept octet header/value pairs,
completely not restricted by HTTP/1 header name/value rule.
The applications may impose restriction about them using
validators.
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.
We tried several times about this subject, but for the current
HTTP/2.0 priority scheme, we think it is best to serve the highest
priroty streams first (interleaving streams if there are several
higest ones). There are an issue when aggregating several frontend
connections to one connection in backend, but it is HTTP/2.0
spec issue, rather than implementation.
nghttp2_session_client_new2 and nghttp2_session_server_new2 take
additional parameters which specifies session options.
nghttp2_set_option is somewhat crumsy because of type checking.
Now we use nghttp2_opt_set, which specifies individual options with
types. We changed the value of nghttp2_opt, so this change will
require re-compile.
It is not clear that SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH = 0 disallows HEADERS
to the reserved streams. For now, we just check the reception
and transmission of PUSH_PROMISE against SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH.
The NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE library error code is introduced to pause
the execution of nghttp2_session_mem_recv() when that error code
is returned from nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback or
nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback. If this happens, the parameters
available for both callbacks are retained until the application
calls nghttp2_session_continue(). The application must retain
input bytes which was used to produce the frame.
After successful call of nghttp2_session_continue, the application
can continue to call nghttp2_session_mem_recv() to process
additional data.
This function is similar to nghttp2_submit_request and the
difference is it takes an array of nghttp2_nv as name/value pairs.
It is useful if name/value pairs is not NULL-terminated in the
application code.
