API Reference ============= Includes -------- To use the public APIs, include ``nghttp2/nghttp2.h``:: #include Remarks ------- Do not call `nghttp2_session_send`, `nghttp2_session_recv` or `nghttp2_session_mem_recv` from the nghttp2 callback functions directly or indirectly. It will lead to the crash. You can submit requests or frames in the callbacks then call `nghttp2_session_send`, `nghttp2_session_recv` or `nghttp2_session_mem_recv` outside of the callbacks.

Types (structs, unions and typedefs) ------------------------------------ .. type:: nghttp2_session The primary structure to hold the resources needed for a HTTP/2.0 session. The details of this structure are intentionally hidden from the public API. .. type:: nghttp2_nv The name/value pair, which mainly used to represent header fields. .. member:: uint8_t *name The *name* byte string, which is not necessarily ``NULL`` terminated. .. member:: uint8_t *value The *value* byte string, which is not necessarily ``NULL`` terminated. .. member:: uint16_t namelen The length of the *name*. .. member:: uint16_t valuelen The length of the *value*. .. type:: nghttp2_frame_hd The frame header. .. member:: uint16_t length The length field of this frame, excluding frame header. .. member:: uint8_t type The type of this frame. See `nghttp2_frame`. .. member:: uint8_t flags The flags. .. member:: int32_t stream_id The stream identifier (aka, stream ID) .. type:: nghttp2_data_source This union represents the some kind of data source passed to :type:`nghttp2_data_source_read_callback`. .. member:: int fd The integer field, suitable for a file descriptor. .. member:: void *ptr The pointer to an arbitrary object. .. type:: typedef ssize_t (*nghttp2_data_source_read_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, uint8_t *buf, size_t length, int *eof, nghttp2_data_source *source, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when the library wants to read data from the *source*. The read data is sent in the stream *stream_id*. The implementation of this function must read at most *length* bytes of data from *source* (or possibly other places) and store them in *buf* and return number of data stored in *buf*. If EOF is reached, set *\*eof* to 1. If the application wants to postpone DATA frames, (e.g., asynchronous I/O, or reading data blocks for long time), it is achieved by returning :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_DEFERRED` without reading any data in this invocation. The library removes DATA frame from the outgoing queue temporarily. To move back deferred DATA frame to outgoing queue, call `nghttp2_session_resume_data()`. In case of error, there are 2 choices. Returning :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_TEMPORAL_CALLBACK_FAILURE` will close the stream by issuing RST_STREAM with :macro:`NGHTTP2_INTERNAL_ERROR`. Returning :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE` will signal the entire session failure. .. type:: nghttp2_data_provider This struct represents the data source and the way to read a chunk of data from it. .. member:: nghttp2_data_source source The data source. .. member:: nghttp2_data_source_read_callback read_callback The callback function to read a chunk of data from the *source*. .. type:: nghttp2_headers The HEADERS frame.

It has the following members: .. member:: nghttp2_frame_hd hd The frame header. .. member:: int32_t window_size_increment The window size increment. .. type:: nghttp2_frame This union includes all frames to pass them to various function calls as nghttp2_frame type. The DATA frame is intentionally omitted from here. .. member:: nghttp2_frame_hd hd The frame header, which is convenient to inspect frame header. .. member:: nghttp2_headers headers The HEADERS frame. .. member:: nghttp2_priority priority The PRIORITY frame. .. member:: nghttp2_rst_stream rst_stream The RST_STREAM frame. .. member:: nghttp2_settings settings The SETTINGS frame. .. member:: nghttp2_push_promise push_promise The PUSH_PROMISE frame. .. member:: nghttp2_ping ping The PING frame. .. member:: nghttp2_goaway goaway The GOAWAY frame. .. member:: nghttp2_window_update window_update The WINDOW_UPDATE frame. .. type:: typedef ssize_t (*nghttp2_send_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const uint8_t *data, size_t length, int flags, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when *session* wants to send data to the remote peer. The implementation of this function must send at most *length* bytes of data stored in *data*. The *flags* is currently not used and always 0. It must return the number of bytes sent if it succeeds. If it cannot send any single byte without blocking, it must return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK`. For other errors, it must return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef ssize_t (*nghttp2_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t *buf, size_t length, int flags, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when *session* wants to receive data from the remote peer. The implementation of this function must read at most *length* bytes of data and store it in *buf*. The *flags* is currently not used and always 0. It must return the number of bytes written in *buf* if it succeeds. If it cannot read any single byte without blocking, it must return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK`. If it gets EOF before it reads any single byte, it must return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_EOF`. For other errors, it must return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_frame *frame, void *user_data) Callback function invoked by `nghttp2_session_recv()` when a non-DATA frame is received. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_invalid_frame_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_frame *frame, nghttp2_error_code error_code, void *user_data) Callback function invoked by `nghttp2_session_recv()` when an invalid non-DATA frame is received. The *error_code* is one of the :macro:`nghttp2_error_code` and indicates the error. When this callback function is invoked, the library automatically submits either RST_STREAM or GOAWAY frame. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const uint8_t *data, size_t len, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when a chunk of data in DATA frame is received. The *stream_id* is the stream ID this DATA frame belongs to. The *flags* is the flags of DATA frame which this data chunk is contained. ``(flags & NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_STREAM) != 0`` does not necessarily mean this chunk of data is the last one in the stream. You should use :type:`nghttp2_on_data_recv_callback` to know all data frames are received. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_data_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, uint16_t length, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when DATA frame is received. The actual data it contains are received by :type:`nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback`. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_before_frame_send_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_frame *frame, void *user_data) Callback function invoked before the non-DATA frame *frame* is sent. This may be useful, for example, to know the stream ID of HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frame (see also `nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data()`), which is not assigned when it was queued. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_frame *frame, void *user_data) Callback function invoked after the non-DATA frame *frame* is sent. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_frame_not_send_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_frame *frame, int lib_error_code, void *user_data) Callback function invoked after the non-DATA frame *frame* is not sent because of the error. The error is indicated by the *lib_error_code*, which is one of the values defined in :type:`nghttp2_error`. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_data_send_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, uint16_t length, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, void *user_data) Callback function invoked after DATA frame is sent. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_stream_close_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, nghttp2_error_code error_code, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when the stream *stream_id* is closed. The reason of closure is indicated by the *error_code*. The stream_user_data, which was specified in `nghttp2_submit_request()` or `nghttp2_submit_headers()`, is still available in this function. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_request_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when the request from the remote peer is received. In other words, the frame with END_STREAM flag set is received. In HTTP, this means HTTP request, including request body, is fully received. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_frame_recv_parse_error_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, nghttp2_frame_type type, const uint8_t *head, size_t headlen, const uint8_t *payload, size_t payloadlen, int lib_error_code, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when the received control frame octets could not be parsed correctly. The *type* indicates the type of received non-DATA frame. The *head* is the pointer to the header of the received frame. The *headlen* is the length of the *head*. According to the spec, the *headlen* is always 8. In other words, the *head* is the first 8 bytes of the received frame. The *payload* is the pointer to the data portion of the received frame. The *payloadlen* is the length of the *payload*. This is the data after the length field. The *lib_error_code* is one of the error code defined in :macro:`nghttp2_error` and indicates the error. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: typedef int (*nghttp2_on_unknown_frame_recv_callback) (nghttp2_session *session, const uint8_t *head, size_t headlen, const uint8_t *payload, size_t payloadlen, void *user_data) Callback function invoked when the received frame type is unknown. The *head* is the pointer to the header of the received frame. The *headlen* is the length of the *head*. According to the spec, the *headlen* is always 8. In other words, the *head* is the first 8 bytes of the received frame. The *payload* is the pointer to the data portion of the received frame. The *payloadlen* is the length of the *payload*. This is the data after the length field. The implementation of this function must return 0 if it succeeds. If nonzero is returned, it is treated as fatal error and `nghttp2_session_recv()` and `nghttp2_session_send()` functions immediately return :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE`. .. type:: nghttp2_session_callbacks Callback functions. .. member:: nghttp2_send_callback send_callback Callback function invoked when the *session* wants to send data to the remote peer. .. member:: nghttp2_recv_callback recv_callback Callback function invoked when the *session* wants to receive data from the remote peer. .. member:: nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback on_frame_recv_callback Callback function invoked by `nghttp2_session_recv()` when a non-DATA frame is received. .. member:: nghttp2_on_invalid_frame_recv_callback on_invalid_frame_recv_callback Callback function invoked by `nghttp2_session_recv()` when an invalid non-DATA frame is received. .. member:: nghttp2_on_data_chunk_recv_callback on_data_chunk_recv_callback Callback function invoked when a chunk of data in DATA frame is received. .. member:: nghttp2_on_data_recv_callback on_data_recv_callback Callback function invoked when DATA frame is received. .. member:: nghttp2_before_frame_send_callback before_frame_send_callback Callback function invoked before the non-DATA frame is sent. .. member:: nghttp2_on_frame_send_callback on_frame_send_callback Callback function invoked after the non-DATA frame is sent. .. member:: nghttp2_on_frame_not_send_callback on_frame_not_send_callback The callback function invoked when a non-DATA frame is not sent because of an error. .. member:: nghttp2_on_data_send_callback on_data_send_callback Callback function invoked after DATA frame is sent. .. member:: nghttp2_on_stream_close_callback on_stream_close_callback Callback function invoked when the stream is closed. .. member:: nghttp2_on_request_recv_callback on_request_recv_callback Callback function invoked when request from the remote peer is received. .. member:: nghttp2_on_frame_recv_parse_error_callback Callback function invoked when the received non-DATA frame octets could not be parsed correctly. .. member:: nghttp2_on_unknown_frame_recv_callback on_unknown_frame_recv_callback Callback function invoked when the received frame type is unknown. .. type:: nghttp2_gzip The gzip stream to inflate data. The details of this structure are intentionally hidden from the public API. Functions --------- .. function:: int nghttp2_session_client_new(nghttp2_session **session_ptr, const nghttp2_session_callbacks *callbacks, void *user_data) Initializes *\*session_ptr* for client use. The all members of *callbacks* are copied to *\*session_ptr*. Therefore *\*session_ptr* does not store *callbacks*. *user_data* is an arbitrary user supplied data, which will be passed to the callback functions. The :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback` must be specified. If the application code uses `nghttp2_session_recv()`, the :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` must be specified. The other members of *callbacks* can be ``NULL``. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_server_new(nghttp2_session **session_ptr, const nghttp2_session_callbacks *callbacks, void *user_data) Initializes *\*session_ptr* for server use. The all members of *callbacks* are copied to *\*session_ptr*. Therefore *\*session_ptr* does not store *callbacks*. *user_data* is an arbitrary user supplied data, which will be passed to the callback functions. The :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback` must be specified. If the application code uses `nghttp2_session_recv()`, the :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` must be specified. The other members of *callbacks* can be ``NULL``. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: void nghttp2_session_del(nghttp2_session *session) Frees any resources allocated for *session*. If *session* is ``NULL``, this function does nothing. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_set_option(nghttp2_session *session, int optname, void *optval, size_t optlen) Sets the configuration option for the *session*. The *optname* is one of :type:`nghttp2_opt`. The *optval* is the pointer to the option value and the *optlen* is the size of *\*optval*. The required type of *optval* varies depending on the *optname*. See below. The following *optname* are supported: :macro:`NGHTTP2_OPT_NO_AUTO_STREAM_WINDOW_UPDATE` The *optval* must be a pointer to ``int``. If the *\*optval* is nonzero, the library will not send WINDOW_UPDATE for a stream automatically. Therefore, the application is responsible for sending WINDOW_UPDATE using `nghttp2_submit_window_update`. This option defaults to 0. :macro:`NGHTTP2_OPT_NO_AUTO_CONNECTION_WINDOW_UPDATE` The *optval* must be a pointer to ``int``. If the *\*optval* is nonzero, the library will not send WINDOW_UPDATE for connection automatically. Therefore, the application is responsible for sending WINDOW_UPDATE using `nghttp2_submit_window_update`. This option defaults to 0. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *optname* is not supported; or the *optval* and/or the *optlen* are invalid. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_send(nghttp2_session *session) Sends pending frames to the remote peer. This function retrieves the highest prioritized frame from the outbound queue and sends it to the remote peer. It does this as many as possible until the user callback :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback` returns :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK` or the outbound queue becomes empty. This function calls several callback functions which are passed when initializing the *session*. Here is the simple time chart which tells when each callback is invoked: 1. Get the next frame to send from outbound queue. 2. Prepare transmission of the frame. 3. If the control frame cannot be sent because some preconditions are not met (e.g., request HEADERS cannot be sent after GOAWAY), :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_not_send_callback` is invoked. Abort the following steps. 4. If the frame is request HEADERS, the stream is opened here. 5. :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.before_ctrl_send_callback` is invoked. 6. :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback` is invoked one or more times to send the frame. 7. If the frame is a control frame, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_send_callback` is invoked. 8. If the frame is a DATA frame, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_data_send_callback` is invoked. 9. If the transmission of the frame triggers closure of the stream, the stream is closed and :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback` is invoked. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE` The callback function failed. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_recv(nghttp2_session *session) Receives frames from the remote peer. This function receives as many frames as possible until the user callback :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` returns :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK`. This function calls several callback functions which are passed when initializing the *session*. Here is the simple time chart which tells when each callback is invoked: 1. :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` is invoked one or more times to receive frame header. 2. If the frame is DATA frame: 2.1. :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` is invoked to receive DATA payload. For each chunk of data, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_data_chunk_recv_callback` is invoked. 2.2. If one DATA frame is completely received, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_data_recv_callback` is invoked. If the frame is the final frame of the request, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_request_recv_callback` is invoked. If the reception of the frame triggers the closure of the stream, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback` is invoked. 3. If the frame is the control frame: 3.1. :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` is invoked one or more times to receive whole frame. 3.2. If the received frame is valid, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_recv_callback` is invoked. If the frame is the final frame of the request, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_request_recv_callback` is invoked. If the reception of the frame triggers the closure of the stream, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback` is invoked. 3.3. If the received frame is unpacked but is interpreted as invalid, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_invalid_ctrl_recv_callback` is invoked. 3.4. If the received frame could not be unpacked correctly, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_recv_parse_error_callback` is invoked. 3.5. If the received frame type is unknown, :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.on_unknown_ctrl_recv_callback` is invoked. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_EOF` The remote peer did shutdown on the connection. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE` The callback function failed. .. function:: ssize_t nghttp2_session_mem_recv(nghttp2_session *session, const uint8_t *in, size_t inlen) Processes data *in* as an input from the remote endpoint. The *inlen* indicates the number of bytes in the *in*. This function behaves like `nghttp2_session_recv()` except that it does not use :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.recv_callback` to receive data; the *in* is the only data for the invocation of this function. If all bytes are processed, this function returns. The other callbacks are called in the same way as they are in `nghttp2_session_recv()`. In the current implementation, this function always tries to processes all input data unless an error occurs. This function returns the number of processed bytes, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_resume_data(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id) Puts back previously deferred DATA frame in the stream *stream_id* to the outbound queue. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The stream does not exist or no deferred data exist. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_want_read(nghttp2_session *session) Returns nonzero value if *session* wants to receive data from the remote peer. If both `nghttp2_session_want_read()` and `nghttp2_session_want_write()` return 0, the application should drop the connection. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_want_write(nghttp2_session *session) Returns nonzero value if *session* wants to send data to the remote peer. If both `nghttp2_session_want_read()` and `nghttp2_session_want_write()` return 0, the application should drop the connection. .. function:: void* nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id) Returns stream_user_data for the stream *stream_id*. The stream_user_data is provided by `nghttp2_submit_request()` or `nghttp2_submit_syn_stream()`. If the stream is initiated by the remote endpoint, stream_user_data is always ``NULL``. If the stream is initiated by the local endpoint and ``NULL`` is given in `nghttp2_submit_request()` or `nghttp2_submit_syn_stream()`, then this function returns ``NULL``. If the stream does not exist, this function returns ``NULL``. .. function:: size_t nghttp2_session_get_outbound_queue_size(nghttp2_session *session) Returns the number of frames in the outbound queue. This does not include the deferred DATA frames. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_fail_session(nghttp2_session *session, nghttp2_error_code error_code) Submits GOAWAY frame with the given *error_code*. This function should be called when the connection should be terminated after sending GOAWAY. If the remaining streams should be processed after GOAWAY, use `nghttp2_submit_goaway()` instead. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_session_upgrade(nghttp2_session *session, const uint8_t *settings_payload, size_t settings_payloadlen, void *stream_user_data) Performs post-process of HTTP Upgrade request. This function can be called from both client and server, but the behavior is very different in each other. If called from client side, the *settings_payload* must be the value sent in ``HTTP2-Settings`` header field and must be decoded by base64url decoder. The *settings_payloadlen* is the length of *settings_payload*. The *settings_payload* is unpacked and its setting values will be submitted using `nghttp2_submit_settings()`. This means that the client application code does not need to submit SETTINGS by itself. The stream with stream ID=1 is opened and the *stream_user_data* is used for its stream_user_data. The opened stream becomes half-closed (local) state. If called from server side, the *settings_payload* must be the value received in ``HTTP2-Settings`` header field and must be decoded by base64url decoder. The *settings_payloadlen* is the length of *settings_payload*. It is treated as if the SETTINGS frame with that payload is received. Thus, callback functions for the reception of SETTINGS frame will be invoked. The stream with stream ID=1 is opened. The *stream_user_data* is ignored. The opened stream becomes half-closed (remote). This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *settings_payload* is badly formed. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_PROTO` The stream ID 1 is already used or closed; or is not available; or the *settings_payload* does not include both :macro:`NGHTTP2_SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS` and :macro:`NGHTTP2_SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE`. .. function:: ssize_t nghttp2_pack_settings_payload(uint8_t *buf, nghttp2_settings_entry *iv, size_t niv) Serializes the SETTINGS values *iv* in the *buf*. The number of entry pointed by *iv* array is given by the *niv*. This function may reorder the pointers in *iv*. The *buf* must have enough region to hold serialized data. The required space for the *niv* entries are ``8*niv`` bytes. This function is used mainly for creating SETTINGS payload to be sent with ``HTTP2-Settings`` header field in HTTP Upgrade request. The data written in *buf* is not still base64url encoded and the application is responsible for encoding. This function returns the number of bytes written in *buf*, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *iv* contains duplicate settings ID or invalid value. .. function:: const char* nghttp2_strerror(int lib_error_code) Returns string describing the *lib_error_code*. The *lib_error_code* must be one of the :macro:`nghttp2_error`. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_request(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t pri, const char **nv, const nghttp2_data_provider *data_prd, void *stream_user_data) Submits HEADERS frame and optionally one or more DATA frames. The *pri* is priority of this request. 0 is the highest priority value and :macro:`NGHTTP2_PRI_LOWEST` is the lowest value. The *nv* contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, ``nv[2*i]`` contains a pointer to the name string and ``nv[2*i+1]`` contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be ``NULL``. That is, if the *nv* contains N name/value pairs, ``nv[2*N]`` must be ``NULL``. The *nv* must include following name/value pairs: ``:method`` HTTP method (e.g., ``GET``, ``POST``, ``HEAD``, etc) ``:scheme`` URI scheme (e.g., ``https``) ``:path`` Absolute path and parameters of this request (e.g., ``/foo``, ``/foo;bar;haz?h=j&y=123``) ``:host`` The hostport portion of the URI for this request (e.g., ``example.org:443``). This is the same as the HTTP "Host" header field. This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in *nv*. It also lower-cases all names in *nv*. If *data_prd* is not ``NULL``, it provides data which will be sent in subsequent DATA frames. In this case, a method that allows request message bodies (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9) must be specified with ``:method`` key in *nv* (e.g. ``POST``). This function does not take ownership of the *data_prd*. The function copies the members of the *data_prd*. If *data_prd* is ``NULL``, HEADERS have END_STREAM set. The *stream_user_data* is data associated to the stream opened by this request and can be an arbitrary pointer, which can be retrieved later by `nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data()`. Since the library reorders the frames and tries to send the highest prioritized one first and the HTTP/2.0 specification requires the stream ID must be strictly increasing, the stream ID of this request cannot be known until it is about to sent. To know the stream ID of the request, the application can use :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.before_ctrl_send_callback`. This callback is called just before the frame is sent. For HEADERS frame, the argument frame has the stream ID assigned. Also since the stream is already opened, `nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data()` can be used to get *stream_user_data* to identify which HEADERS we are processing. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *pri* is invalid; or the *nv* includes empty name or ``NULL`` value. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_response(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, const char **nv, const nghttp2_data_provider *data_prd) Submits response HEADERS frame and optionally one or more DATA frames against the stream *stream_id*. The *nv* contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, ``nv[2*i]`` contains a pointer to the name string and ``nv[2*i+1]`` contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be ``NULL``. That is, if the *nv* contains N name/value pairs, ``nv[2*N]`` must be ``NULL``. The *nv* must include following name/value pairs: ``:status`` HTTP status code (e.g., ``200`` or ``200 OK``) This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in *nv*. It also lower-cases all names in *nv*. If *data_prd* is not ``NULL``, it provides data which will be sent in subsequent DATA frames. This function does not take ownership of the *data_prd*. The function copies the members of the *data_prd*. If *data_prd* is ``NULL``, HEADERS will have END_STREAM flag set. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *nv* includes empty name or ``NULL`` value. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_headers(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, int32_t pri, const char **nv, void *stream_user_data) Submits HEADERS frame. The *flags* is bitwise OR of the following values: * :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_STREAM` * :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_HEADERS` * :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_PRIORITY` If *flags* includes :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_STREAM`, this frame has END_STREAM flag set. The library does not support header continuation and the HEADERS frame always has :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_HEADERS` flag set regardless of the *flags* value. If the *stream_id* is -1, this frame is assumed as request (i.e., request HEADERS frame which opens new stream). In this case, the actual stream ID is assigned just before the frame is sent. For response, specify stream ID in *stream_id*. The *pri* is priority of this request. The *nv* contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, ``nv[2*i]`` contains a pointer to the name string and ``nv[2*i+1]`` contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be ``NULL``. That is, if the *nv* contains N name/value pairs, ``nv[2*N]`` must be ``NULL``. This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in *nv*. It also lower-cases all names in *nv*. The *stream_user_data* is a pointer to an arbitrary data which is associated to the stream this frame will open. Therefore it is only used if this frame opens streams, in other words, it changes stream state from idle or reserved to open. This function is low-level in a sense that the application code can specify flags directly. For usual HTTP request, `nghttp2_submit_request()` is useful. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *pri* is invalid; or the *nv* includes empty name or ``NULL`` value. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_data(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const nghttp2_data_provider *data_prd) Submits one or more DATA frames to the stream *stream_id*. The data to be sent are provided by *data_prd*. If *flags* contains :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_STREAM`, the last DATA frame has END_STREAM flag set. This function does not take ownership of the *data_prd*. The function copies the members of the *data_prd*. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED` The stream is already closed or does not exist. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_priority(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, int32_t pri) Submits PRIORITY frame to change the priority of stream *stream_id* to the priority value *pri*. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *pri* is negative. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED` The stream is already closed or does not exist. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_rst_stream(nghttp2_session *session, int32_t stream_id, nghttp2_error_code error_code) Submits RST_STREAM frame to cancel/reject the stream *stream_id* with the error code *error_code*. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_settings(nghttp2_session *session, const nghttp2_settings_entry *iv, size_t niv) Stores local settings and submits SETTINGS frame. The *iv* is the pointer to the array of :type:`nghttp2_settings_entry`. The *niv* indicates the number of :type:`nghttp2_settings_entry`. This function does not take ownership of the *iv*. This function copies all the elements in the *iv*. While updating individual stream's local window size, if the window size becomes strictly larger than NGHTTP2_MAX_WINDOW_SIZE, RST_STREAM is issued against such a stream. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *iv* contains invalid value (e.g., attempting to re-enable flow control). :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_push_promise(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const char **nv) Submits PUSH_PROMISE frame. The *flags* is currently ignored and the resulting PUSH_PROMISE frame always has :macro:`NGHTTP2_FLAG_END_PUSH_PROMISE` flag set due to the lack of header continuation support in the library. The *stream_id* must be client initiated stream ID. The *nv* contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, ``nv[2*i]`` contains a pointer to the name string and ``nv[2*i+1]`` contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be ``NULL``. That is, if the *nv* contains N name/value pairs, ``nv[2*N]`` must be ``NULL``. This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in *nv*. It also lower-cases all names in *nv*. Since the library reorders the frames and tries to send the highest prioritized one first and the HTTP/2.0 specification requires the stream ID must be strictly increasing, the promised stream ID cannot be known until it is about to sent. To know the promised stream ID, the application can use :member:`nghttp2_session_callbacks.before_frame_send_callback`. This callback is called just before the frame is sent. For PUSH_PROMISE frame, the argument frame has the promised stream ID assigned. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *nv* includes empty name or ``NULL`` value. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED` The stream is already closed or does not exist. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_ping(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t *opaque_data) Submits PING frame. You don't have to send PING back when you received PING frame. The library automatically submits PING frame in this case. If the *opaque_data* is non ``NULL``, then it should point to the 8 bytes array of memory to specify opaque data to send with PING frame. If the *opaque_data* is ``NULL``, zero-cleared 8 bytes will be sent as opaque data. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_goaway(nghttp2_session *session, nghttp2_error_code error_code, uint8_t *opaque_data, size_t opaque_data_len) Submits GOAWAY frame with the error code *error_code*. If the *opaque_data* is not ``NULL`` and *opaque_data_len* is not zero, those data will be sent as additional debug data. The library makes a copy of the memory region pointed by *opaque_data* with the length *opaque_data_len*, so the caller does not need to keep this memory after the return of this function. If the *opaque_data_len* is 0, the *opaque_data* could be ``NULL``. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_submit_window_update(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, int32_t window_size_increment) Submits WINDOW_UPDATE frame. The *flags* is currently ignored. If the *window_size_increment* is positive, the WINDOW_UPDATE with that value as window_size_increment is queued. If the *window_size_increment* is larger than the received bytes from the remote endpoint, the local window size is increased by that difference. If the *window_size_increment* is negative, the local window size is decreased by -*window_size_increment*. If :macro:`NGHTTP2_OPT_NO_AUTO_STREAM_WINDOW_UPDATE` (or :macro:`NGHTTP2_OPT_NO_AUTO_CONNECTION_WINDOW_UPDATE` if *stream_id* is 0) is not set and the library decided that the WINDOW_UPDATE should be submitted, then WINDOW_UPDATE is queued with the current received bytes count. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT` The *delta_window_size* is 0. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_FLOW_CONTROL` The local window size overflow or gets negative. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED` The stream is already closed or does not exist. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: int nghttp2_nv_compare_name(const nghttp2_nv *lhs, const nghttp2_nv *rhs) Compares lhs->name with lhs->namelen bytes and rhs->name with rhs->namelen bytes. Returns negative integer if lhs->name is found to be less than rhs->name; or returns positive integer if lhs->name is found to be greater than rhs->name; or returns 0 otherwise. .. function:: int nghttp2_select_next_protocol(unsigned char **out, unsigned char *outlen, const unsigned char *in, unsigned int inlen) A helper function for dealing with NPN in client side. The *in* contains server's protocol in preferable order. The format of *in* is length-prefixed and not null-terminated. For example, ``HTTP-draft-04/2.0`` and ``http/1.1`` stored in *in* like this:: in[0] = 17 in[1..17] = "HTTP-draft-04/2.0" in[18] = 8 in[19..26] = "http/1.1" inlen = 27 The selection algorithm is as follows: 1. If server's list contains ``HTTP-draft-04/2.0``, it is selected and returns 1. The following step is not taken. 2. If server's list contains ``http/1.1``, this function selects ``http/1.1`` and returns 0. The following step is not taken. 3. This function selects nothing and returns -1. (So called non-overlap case). In this case, *out* and *outlen* are left untouched. Selecting ``HTTP-draft-04/2.0`` means that ``HTTP-draft-04/2.0`` is written into *\*out* and its length (which is 17) is assigned to *\*outlen*. See http://technotes.googlecode.com/git/nextprotoneg.html for more details about NPN. To use this method you should do something like:: static int select_next_proto_cb(SSL* ssl, unsigned char **out, unsigned char *outlen, const unsigned char *in, unsigned int inlen, void *arg) { int rv; rv = nghttp2_select_next_protocol(out, outlen, in, inlen); if(rv == 1) { ((MyType*)arg)->http2_selected = 1; } return SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK; } ... SSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb(ssl_ctx, select_next_proto_cb, my_obj); Note that the HTTP/2.0 spec does use ALPN instead of NPN. This function is provided for transitional period before ALPN is got implemented in major SSL/TLS libraries. .. function:: int nghttp2_gzip_inflate_new(nghttp2_gzip **inflater_ptr) A helper function to set up a per request gzip stream to inflate data. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_GZIP` The initialization of gzip stream failed. :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM` Out of memory. .. function:: void nghttp2_gzip_inflate_del(nghttp2_gzip *inflater) Frees the inflate stream. The *inflater* may be ``NULL``. .. function:: int nghttp2_gzip_inflate(nghttp2_gzip *inflater, uint8_t *out, size_t *outlen_ptr, const uint8_t *in, size_t *inlen_ptr) Inflates data in *in* with the length *\*inlen_ptr* and stores the inflated data to *out* which has allocated size at least *\*outlen_ptr*. On return, *\*outlen_ptr* is updated to represent the number of data written in *out*. Similarly, *\*inlen_ptr* is updated to represent the number of input bytes processed. This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes: :macro:`NGHTTP2_ERR_GZIP` The inflation of gzip stream failed. The example follows:: void on_data_chunk_recv_callback(nghttp2_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const uint8_t *data, size_t len, void *user_data) { ... req = nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data(session, stream_id); nghttp2_gzip *inflater = req->inflater; while(len > 0) { uint8_t out[MAX_OUTLEN]; size_t outlen = MAX_OUTLEN; size_t tlen = len; int rv; rv = nghttp2_gzip_inflate(inflater, out, &outlen, data, &tlen); if(rv != 0) { nghttp2_submit_rst_stream(session, stream_id, NGHTTP2_INTERNAL_ERROR); break; } ... Do stuff ... data += tlen; len -= tlen; } .... }
