The library interface supports compressed DATA. The library does not
deflate nor inflate data payload. When sending data, an application
has to compress data and set NGHTTP2_DATA_FLAG_COMPRESSED to
data_flags parameter in nghttp2_data_source_read_callback. On
receiving, flags parameter in nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback
includes NGHTTP2_FLAG_COMPRESSED. An application should check the
flags and inflate data as necessary. Since compression context is per
frame, when DATA is seen in nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback, an
application should reset compression context.
Now previous padding options are removed and instead we added
select_padding_callback to select padding length for each frame
by application. If this callback is not implemented by application,
no padding is added.
This change also fixes the broken session_detect_idle_stream()
if stream_id is our side.
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.
nghttp2 library itself now accept octet header/value pairs,
completely not restricted by HTTP/1 header name/value rule.
The applications may impose restriction about them using
validators.
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.
Remove sorting headers from library code. The application must sort
them if necessary. nghttpx and nghttpd do the sorting of the headers
in stable way if names are equal.
This function is similar to nghttp2_submit_request and the
difference is it takes an array of nghttp2_nv as name/value pairs.
It is useful if name/value pairs is not NULL-terminated in the
application code.
