This will improve performance since we can avoid indirect call of
internal functions. The downside is we now require libnghttp2 static
library to run unit tests.
The private global variable nghttp2_enable_strict_preface is also
marked as NGHTTP2_EXTERN, but it is test purpose only (test with
.dll), and not part of public API. It could be removed in the future
release.
Previously we did not check HTTP semantics and it is left out for
application. Although checking is relatively easy, but they are
scattered and error prone. We have implemented these checks in our
applications and also feel they are tedious. To make application
development a bit easier, this commit adds basic HTTP semantics
validation to library code. We do following checks:
server:
* HEADERS is either request header or trailer header. Other type of
header is disallowed.
client:
* HEADERS is either zero or more non-final response header or final
response header or trailer header. Other type of header is
disallowed.
For both:
* Check mandatory pseudo header fields.
* Make sure that content-length matches the amount of DATA we
received.
If validation fails, RST_STREAM of type PROTOCOL_ERROR is issued.
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.
To make it possible to add new callbacks without bumping so name, we
decided to hide details of nghttp2_session_callbacks. We provide
setter like functions to set individual callback function.
We inherited gzip compression API from spdylay codebase. In spdylay,
the cost of having such API is almost free because spdylay requires
zlib for header compression. nghttp2 no longer uses gzip to header
compression. zlib dependency exists just for gzip compression API,
which is not an essential. So we decided to move gzip code to under
src and remove zlib dependency from libnghttp2 itself. As nghttp2
package, we depend on zlib to compile tools under src.
To make adding new option easier, we decided to make the details of
option struct private and hide it from public API. We provide
functions to set individual option value.
spdylay_net.h is compatibility layer for network related header files.
In the nature of spdylay library it should not depend on the actual
networking implementations, but we need some system headers for
optimization. Currently, arpha/inet.h and netinet/in.h are needed for
ntoh*/hton* functions.

Changes:
spdylay_select_next_protocol() returns -1 if it fails.
Use cunit without pkg-config because debian does not provide .pc file.
Some doc updates to suite my taste.
Added spdylay_npn.h
