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.
nghttp2_session_client_new2 and nghttp2_session_server_new2 take
additional parameters which specifies session options.
nghttp2_set_option is somewhat crumsy because of type checking.
Now we use nghttp2_opt_set, which specifies individual options with
types. We changed the value of nghttp2_opt, so this change will
require re-compile.
It is not clear that SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH = 0 disallows HEADERS
to the reserved streams. For now, we just check the reception
and transmission of PUSH_PROMISE against SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH.
The NGHTTP2_ERR_PAUSE library error code is introduced to pause
the execution of nghttp2_session_mem_recv() when that error code
is returned from nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback or
nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback. If this happens, the parameters
available for both callbacks are retained until the application
calls nghttp2_session_continue(). The application must retain
input bytes which was used to produce the frame.
After successful call of nghttp2_session_continue, the application
can continue to call nghttp2_session_mem_recv() to process
additional data.
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.
