Previously when nghttp2_stream_resume_deferred_data() is called,
deferred flags in stream->flags are all cleared. This is not ideal
because if application returned NGHTTP2_ERR_DEFERRED, and also that
stream is deferred by flow control, then all flags are cleared and
read callback will be invoked again. This commit fixes this issue.
This changes error condition of nghttp2_session_resume_data().
Previously we return error if stream was deferred by flow control.
Now we don't return error in this case. We just clear
NGHTTP2_FLAG_DEFERRED_USER and if still
NGHTTP2_FLAG_DEFERRED_FLOW_CONTROL is set, just return 0.
By default, nghttp2 library only handles HTTP/2 frames and does not
recognize first 24 bytes of client connection preface. This design
choice is done due to the fact that server may want to detect the
application protocol based on first few bytes on clear text
communication. But for simple servers which only speak HTTP/2, it is
easier for developers if nghttp2 library takes care of client
connection preface.
If this option is used with nonzero val, nghttp2 library checks first
24 bytes client connection preface. If it is not a valid one,
nghttp2_session_recv() and nghttp2_session_mem_recv() will return
error NGHTTP2_ERR_BAD_PREFACE, which is fatal error.
This commit moves frame_type parameter of
nghttp2_data_soruce_read_length_callback in front of stream_id
parameter. The motivation is that other callback is generally put
frame related parameters first. To make it consistent, we move
frame_type, which is frame ralted parameter, to the left.
Now it returns only stream's available remote window size, without
considering connection level window size. For connection-level window
size, nghttp2_session_get_remote_window_size() is added by this
commit. To get old behavior of
nghttp2_session_get_stream_remote_window_size() is use
min(nghttp2_session_get_stream_remote_window_size(),
nghttp2_session_get_remote_window_size()). The reason of this change
is that it is desirable to know just stream level window size without
taking into connection level window size. This is useful for
debugging purpose.
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.
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.
Motivation:
The send window size is currently fixed by a macro at compile time.
In order for users of the library to impact the send window size they
would have to change a macro at compile time. The window size may be dynamic
depending on the environment and deployment scheme. The library users
currently have no way to change this parameter.
Modifications:
Add a new optional callback method which is called before data is sent to
obtain the desired send window size. The callback return value will be
subject to a range check for the current session, stream, and settings
limits defined by flow control.
Result:
Library users have control over their send sizes.
This is partial revert of bbe4f5a3d1.
Only documentation is reverted. Since we have 2 queues to handle
maximum concurrent streams, we are not ready to allow immediate frame
submission for pending new frames.
This commit makes handling of outgoing HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE in the
same priority of other frames on the stream, so these frames are
processed in the order they are submitted. This allows application to
submit frames to a stream returned by nghttp2_submit_{request,
headers, push_promise} immediately. The only exception is
WINDOW_UPDATA frame, which requires nghttp2_stream object, which is
not created yet.
Reworked no automatic WINDOW_UPDATE feature. We added new API
nghttp2_session_consume() which tells the library how many bytes are
consumed by the application. Instead of submitting WINDOW_UPDATE by
the application, the library is now responsible to submit
WINDOW_UPDATE based on consumed bytes. This is more reliable method,
since it enables us to properly send WINDOW_UPDATE for stream and
connection individually. The previous implementation of nghttpx had
broken connection window management.
Previously we just assumed that if same settings ID is found in
SETTINGS, it is enough to process last seen entry. But it turns out
it is not enough for SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE. If we have 0 and
4096 for SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE in one SETTINGS, we must first
shrink dynamic table to 0 and then enlarge it to 4096. This means
that we have to remember the minimum value and last value.
Add last_stream_id parameter to nghttp2_submit_goaway(). To terminate
connection immediately with application chosen last stream ID,
nghttp2_session_terminate_session2() was added.
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.
