Header field related functions are now gathered into FieldStore class.
This commit only handles request. Subsequent commit will do the same
thing for response.
This commit makes sure that WebSocket upgrade works for HTTP/1.1
frontend and backend pair. Actually, this implementation probably
supports other upgrade as well, other than HTTP/2 Upgrade, which is
handled specially in other place.
From autoconf manual, section 5.6.1 Portability of Headers, says:
"""
The C99 standard says that inttypes.h includes stdint.h, so there's no
need to include stdint.h separately in a standard environment. Some
implementations have inttypes.h but not stdint.h (e.g., Solaris 7),
but we don't know of any implementation that has stdint.h but not
inttypes.h.
"""
It turns out that the cause of complication in backend request line
construction is a absolute-form in HTTP/1 request. In HTTP/2, we have
separated pseudo-header fields and no problem at all. In this commit,
we parse request URI in HTTP/1 frontend and extract values from it to
make backend logic simpler. This patch removes host header field
emission in HTTP/2 backend if :authority is emitted. It also rewrites
host header field with authority part in absolute-form URI as per RFC
7230.
This commit adds functionality to customize access logging format in
nghttpx. The format variables are inspired by nginx. The default
format is combined format.
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.
Previously we only update consumed flow control window when number of
bytes read in nghttp2 and spdylay callback is 0. Now we notify
nghttp2 library the consumed bytes even if number of bytes read > 0.
This change also uses newly added spdylay_session_consume() API, so we
require spdylay >= 1.3.0.
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.
Now concatenating header values with 0x00 as delimiter is not
necessary because HPACK reference set is removed and the order of
header field fed into HPACK encoder is preserved when they are
decoded.
This change rewrites logging system of nghttpx. Previously access log
and error log are written to stderr or syslog and there was no option
to change stderr to something else. With this change, file path of
access log and error log can be configured separately and logging to
regular file is now added. To support rotating log, if SIGUSR1 signal
is received by nghttpx, it closes the current log files and reopen it
with the same name. The format of access log is changed and has same
look of apache's. But not all columns are not supported yet.
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.
We thought that this kind of rewrite can be achieved by the configuration
of the backend severs, but in some configuration, however, it may get
complicated. So we decided to implement at least location rewrite in
nghttpx.
This commit also contains a fix to the bug which prevents the http2
backend request from concatenating header fields with the same value.
This change fixes upstream RST_STREAM is blocked until
SpdyUpstream::send() is called. Now downstream REFUSED_STREAM is
propagated to upstream client so that client can reset request. The
RST_STREAM error code when downstream went wrong is changed from
CANCEL to INTERNAL_ERROR.
With --spdy-bridge option, it listens SPDY/HTTPS connections from
front end and forwards them to the backend in SPDY. The usage will be
written later. This change fixes the crash when more than 2
outstanding SpdyDownstreamConnection objects are added to SpdySession
and establishing connection to SPDY backend is failed.
In client mode, now SPDY connection to the backend server is
established per thread. The frontend connections which belong to the
same thread share the SPDY connection.
With --client-mode option, shrpx now accepts unencrypted HTTP
connections and communicates with backend server in SPDY. In short,
this is the "reversed" operation mode against normal mode. This may
be useful for testing purpose because it can sit between HTTP client
and shrpx "normal" mode.
To distinguish the to-be-installed programs and non-installable
example source code, the former programs, spdycat, spdydyd and shrpx,
were moved to src directory. spdynative was removed from Makefile
because it does not appeal to any users much.
