We simulate resource sharing by decreasing weight. The thing is if
weight is wrapped, that item continues to send DATA until its weight
gets lowered under the other items. This commits fix this issue.
Previously stream ID was assigned just before HEADERS or PUSH_PROMISE
was serialized and nghttp2_submit_{request, headers, push_promise} did
not return stream ID. The application has to check assigned stream ID
using before_frame_send_callback. Now it is apparent that priority is
meant to DATA transfer only. Also application can reorder the
requests if it wants. Therefore we can assign stream ID in
nghttp2_submit_* functions and return stream ID from them. With this
change, now application does not have to check stream ID using
before_frame_send_callback and its code will be simplified.
Currently, nghttpd server only compresses files whose extensions are
one of .html, .js, .css and .txt. nghttp advertises its support of
per-frame compression in SETTINGS frame. To implement this feature,
we added 2 public API: nghttp2_session_get_remote_settings() and
nghttp2_gzip_inflate_finished().
Callback function invoked to adjust priority value for request
HEADERS.
Since the application doesn’t know stream ID when it submits
requests, it may not be able to add correct priority value to HEADERS
frame and forced to use follwing PRIORITY frame. The purpose of this
callback is give the chance to the application to adjust priority
value with the latest information it has just before transmission so
that correct priority is included in HEADERS frame and it doesn’t
have to send additional PRIORITY frame.
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.
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.
