Previously to create manual page for bundled programs, we use help2man
to create man page from program's help output. Then our man2rst.py
script converts man page to rst document. Sphinx generates html from
rst documents.
Now help2rst.py produces rst document from programs output. We use
Sphinx solely to produce both man pages and html files.
The nghttp2 library itself is still h2-14. To experiment with the
implementations to require h2-16 to test new features (e.g.,
prioritization), nghttp, nghttpx, nghttpd and h2load now support h2-16
as well as h2-14. Cleartext HTTP Upgrade is still limited to h2-14
however.
This is simply programming error, but it is interesting that using
libstdc++ does not reveal this error. With clang++-libc++, we got
std::system_error: mutex lock faild: Invalid argument. This is
because we did not give a name to lock object, so it is immediately
destructed. I think this will fix the reported crash on Mac OSX.
Previously we do not specify the number of requests each client has to
issue. The each client corresponds to 1 TCP connection. If
connection was not accepted by server or not TLS handshake is not
done, we effectively don't use that connection and the requests
supposed to be issued for those connections are done via other
established connections. If this occurs, servers which do not accept
all connections may gain good benchmark results since they don't have
to pay extra cost to handle all connections (e.g., SSL/TLS handshake).
This change explicitly set the number of requests each client has to
issue so that servers cannot *cheat*.
Previously h2load supports SPDY only for https URI. This is because
SPDY has no mechanism to negotiate its protocol version without NPN.
With this change, user can specify the exact protocol version to use
when http URI (without SSL/TLS) is used.
Supplying multiple URIs can simulate more real life situation on
server side. For example, we can supply URIs of html, css and js and
benchmark the server. The -m option is updated so that it defaults to
the number of supplied URIs.
