<p>The interesting mode at the moment is the default mode. It works like
a reverse proxy and listens HTTP-draft-07/2.0, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 and
can be deployed SSL/TLS terminator for existing web server.</p>
<p>The default mode, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--http2-proxy</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--http2-bridge</span></tt> modes use
SSL/TLS in the frontend connection by default. To disable SSL/TLS, use
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--frontend-no-tls</span></tt> option. If that option is used, SPDY is disabled
in the frontend and incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to
HTTP/2.0 through HTTP Upgrade.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--http2-bridge</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--client</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--client-proxy</span></tt> modes use
SSL/TLS in the backend connection by deafult. To disable SSL/TLS, use
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--backend-no-tls</span></tt> option.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttpx</span></tt> supports configuration file. See <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--conf</span></tt> option and
sample configuration file <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttpx.conf.sample</span></tt>.</p>
<p>In the default mode, (without any of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--http2-proxy</span></tt>,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--http2-bridge</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--client-proxy</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--client</span></tt> options),
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttpx</span></tt> works as reverse proxy to the backend server:</p>

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Client</span></tt> in the above is needs to be configured to use
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttpx</span></tt> as secure proxy.</p>
<p>At the time of this writing, Chrome is the only browser which supports
secure proxy. The one way to configure Chrome to use secure proxy is
create proxy.pac script like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">function</span> <span class="nf">FindProxyForURL</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">url</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">host</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="s">&quot;HTTPS SERVERADDR:PORT&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SERVERADDR</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PORT</span></tt> is the hostname/address and port of the
machine nghttpx is running. Please note that Chrome requires valid
certificate for secure proxy.</p>
<p>Then run chrome with the following arguments:</p>

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hdtest</span></tt> directory contains header compression test tools. The

<h3>deflatehd - header compressor<a class="headerlink" href="#deflatehd-header-compressor" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">deflatehd</span></tt> reads JSON array or HTTP/1-style header fields from
stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON array.</p>
<p>For the JSON input, the element of input array must be a JSON

<dl class="docutils">

<dd>A JSON array of name/value pairs. The each element is a JSON array
of 2 strings. The index 0 must contain header name and the index 1
must contain header value.</dd>

<p>With <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-t</span></tt> option, the program can accept more familiar HTTP/1 style

<p>With <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-d</span></tt> option, the extra <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">headerTable</span></tt> key is added and its
associated value contains the state of dyanmic header table after the
corresponding header set was processed. The value contains following
keys:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>entries</dt>
<dd>The entry in the header table. If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">referenced</span></tt> is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">true</span></tt>, it
is in the reference set. The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">size</span></tt> includes the overhead (32
bytes). The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">index</span></tt> corresponds to the index of header table.
The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt> is the header field name and the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value</span></tt> is the
header field value. They may be displayed as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">**DEALLOCATED**</span></tt>,
which means that the memory for that string is freed and not
available. This will happen when specifying smaller value in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-S</span></tt> than <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-s</span></tt>.</dd>
<dt>size</dt>
<dd>The sum of the spaces entries occupied, this includes the
entry overhead.</dd>
<dt>maxSize</dt>
<dd>The maximum header table size.</dd>
<dt>deflateSize</dt>
<dd>The sum of the spaces entries occupied within <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxDeflateSize</span></tt>.</dd>
<dt>maxDeflateSize</dt>
<dd>The maximum header table size encoder uses. This can be smaller
than <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxSize</span></tt>. In this case, encoder only uses up to first
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxSize</span></tt> buffer. Since the header table size is still
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxSize</span></tt>, the encoder keeps track of entries ouside the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxDeflateSize</span></tt> but inside the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">maxSize</span></tt>, but it makes sure
that they are no longer referenced.</dd>

<h3>inflatehd - header decompressor<a class="headerlink" href="#inflatehd-header-decompressor" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">inflatehd</span></tt> reads JSON array from stdin and outputs decompressed
name/value pairs in JSON array. The element of input array must be a
JSON object. Each object must have at least following key:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>output</dt>
<dd>compressed header block in hex string.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="p">[</span>
<span class="p">{</span> <span class="s">&quot;output&quot;</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="s">&quot;0284f77778ff&quot;</span> <span class="p">},</span>

<p>The output is a JSON array and each element is JSON object, which has
at least following keys:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>seq</dt>
<dd>The index of header set in the input.</dd>
<dt>headers</dt>
<dd>The JSON array contains decompressed name/value pairs. Each
element is JSON aray having 2 elements. The index 0 of the array
contains the header field name. The index 1 contains the header
field value.</dd>
