To validate actual response body length against the value declared in
content-length response header field, we first check request method.
If request method is HEAD, respose body must be 0 regardless of the
value in content-length. nghttp2_session_upgrade() has no parameter
to indicate the request method is HEAD, so we failed to validate
response body if HEAD is used with HTTP Upgrade. New
nghttp2_session_upgrade2() accepts new parameter to indicate that
request method is HEAD or not to fix this issue. Although, this issue
affects client side only, we deprecate nghttp2_session_upgrade() in
favor of nghttp2_session_upgrade2() for both client and server side.
This function is useful for the client application to know that there
is a chance that request can be sent. If this function returns 0,
there is zero chance to make a request.
This commit also set error_code passed to
nghttp2_on_stream_close_callback to NGHTTP2_REFUSED_STREAM if request
is not sent.
Application can utilize this framework to send/receive user defined
extension frames. These frames are expected not to change existing
protocol behaviour.
The control process handles signals, reads configuration, reads
private keys, and bind port (which may be privileged one). It never
drop privileges, so that it can execute new binary with the same
privilege. It forks worker process. The worker process handles all
incoming connections. It drops privilege.
The intention of this stream API is give server application about
stream dependency information, so that it can utilize it for better
scheduling of stream processing. We have no plan to add object
oriented API based on stream object.
The overall meaning is the same. I added a paragraph to introduce nghttp2_hd_inflate_hd(), and added an explanation of using NGHTTP2_NV_FLAG_NO_INDEX for security sensitive headers.
The overall meaning of the tutorial is the same. I added text describing frame types where it helps explain the callbacks better, e.g. introducing the HEADERS frame before on_header_callback().
Also fixed a couple of typos:
- Fixed ``reacb`` typo to ``readcb``
- Added parens to some functions, e.g. ``on_frame_recv_callback`` => ``on_frame_recv_callback()``
The overall meaning of the tutorial is the same, except for a couple of changes:
- app_context struct was called "app_content", fixed the typo
- nghttp2_session_server_new2() is mentioned, but the example uses nghttp2_session_server_new() instead, changed the text to match
Previously h2load used default flow control window as described in
HTTP/2 and SPDY specification. The window size is 64KiB, which is a
bit small, and cannot utilize full server performance when response
size is not too small. Basically, we do this kind of benchmarking
test to measure server's throughput, and optimal performance. Smaller
window certainly degrades performance even in local testing because
server is so fast that it has to wait for WINDOW_UPDATE from h2load.
To make default behaviour suitable for peak performance test, we
decided to disable flow control in h2load by setting large enough
window size.
Most users used h2load without -w or -W options, so they were
implicitly throttled by flow control and the result was affected by
that negatively. Now flow control is disabled by default, the result
may improve depending on the implementations.
