It is very hard to support multiple protocols in backend while
retaining multiple mode settings. Therefore, we dropped modes except
for default and HTTP/2 proxy mode. The other removed modes can be
emulated using combinations of options. Now the backend connection is
not encrypted by default. To enable encryption on backend connection,
use --backend-tls option.
This is required to avoid creation of temporary ImmutableString
like so:
std::string x;
ImmutableString y = ...;
StringRef ref = !x.empty() ? x : y;
First, temporary ImmutableString is created with x since
ImmutableString has constructor to accept std::string. After
StringRef gets this, the temporary ImmutableString is destroyed, and
ref has dangling pointer.
RFC 7540 says that proxy should not emit :authority when translating
HTTP/1 request in origin or asterisk form to HTTP/2. To keep this
semantics in tact, we should also refrain from emitting :authority if
it is missing (host header field is required in this case).
Header field related functions are now gathered into FieldStore class.
This commit only handles request. Subsequent commit will do the same
thing for response.
This change is required to show path attribute to mruby script. It is
desirable to construct URI from parts. Just checking method and path
is "*" is awkward.
To achieve host-path backend routing, we changed behaviour of
--backend-http2-connections-per-worker. It now sets the number of
HTTP/2 physical connections per pattern group if pattern is used in -b
option.
Fixes GH-292
-b option syntax is now <HOST>,<PORT>[;<PATTERN>[:...]]. The optional
<PATTERN>s specify the request host and path it is used for. The
<PATTERN> can contain path, host + path or host. The matching rule is
closely designed to ServeMux in Go programming language.
It turns out that the cause of complication in backend request line
construction is a absolute-form in HTTP/1 request. In HTTP/2, we have
separated pseudo-header fields and no problem at all. In this commit,
we parse request URI in HTTP/1 frontend and extract values from it to
make backend logic simpler. This patch removes host header field
emission in HTTP/2 backend if :authority is emitted. It also rewrites
host header field with authority part in absolute-form URI as per RFC
7230.
