Previously, there is inconsistency when on_frame_recv_callback
is called between HEADERS/PUSH_PROMISE and the other frames.
For former case, it is called before header block, in latter
case, it is called after whole frame is received. To make it
consistent, we call on_frame_recv_callback for HEADERS/PUSH_PROMISE
after its frame is fully received. Since on_frame_recv_callback
can signal the end of header block, we replaced on_end_headers_callback
with on_begin_headers_callback, which is called when the reception
of the header block is started.
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 incoming data is processed in very small buffer (up to 8 bytes)
using state machine. GOAWAY debug data can get to 16K - 1, and we
don't have callback for it. Since we don't want to buffer that
amount of data just for debugging, we currently discard it.
This change also makes parse_error callback not function.
It probably be removed from API.
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.
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.
