nghttp2 - HTTP/2 C Library
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
This is an experimental implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol
|
|
version 2.
|
|
|
|
Development Status
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
We started to implement h2-11
|
|
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-11) and the
|
|
header compression
|
|
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-07).
|
|
|
|
The nghttp2 code base was forked from spdylay project.

Public Test Server
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The following endpoints are available to try out nghttp2
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
* https://106.186.112.116/ (TLS + NPN / ALPN)
|
|
|
|
ALPN and NPN offer ``h2-11``, ``spdy/3.1`` and ``http/1.1``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
certificate is self-signed and a browser will show alert.
|
|
|
|
* http://106.186.112.116/ (Upgrade / Direct)
|
|
|
|
``h2c-11`` and ``http/1.1``. We configured this server to send
|
|
ALTSVC frame or Alt-Svc header field to announce that alternative
|
|
service is available at port 443.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The following packages are needed to build the library:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To build the documentation, you need to install:
|
|
|
|
* sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
|
|
|
|
To build and run the application programs (``nghttp``, ``nghttpd`` and
|
|
``nghttpx``) in ``src`` directory, the following packages are
|
|
required:
|
|
|
|
* OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
|
|
* libevent-openssl >= 2.0.8
|
|
|
|
ALPN support requires unreleased version OpenSSL >= 1.0.2.
|
|
|
|
To enable SPDY protocol in the application program ``nghttpx`` and
|
|
``h2load``, the following packages are required:
|
|
|
|
* spdylay >= 1.2.3
|
|
|
|
To enable ``-a`` option (getting linked assets from the downloaded
|
|
resource) in ``nghttp``, the following packages are needed:

http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/spdylay/
|
|
|
|
Build from git
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Building from git is easy, but please be sure that at least autoconf 2.68 is
|
|
used::
|
|
|
|
$ autoreconf -i
|
|
$ automake
|
|
$ autoconf
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Building documentation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Documentation is still incomplete.
|
|
|
|
To build documentation, run::
|
|
|
|
$ make html
|
|
|
|
The documents will be generated under ``doc/manual/html/``.
|
|
|
|
The generated documents will not be installed with ``make install``.
|
|
|
|
The online documentation is available at
|
|
http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/nghttp2/
|
|
|
|
Client, Server and Proxy programs
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The src directory contains HTTP/2 client, server and proxy programs.
|
|
|
|
nghttp - client
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
``nghttp`` is a HTTP/2 client. It can connect to the HTTP/2 server
|
|
with prior knowledge, HTTP Upgrade and NPN/ALPN TLS extension.
|
|
|
|
It has verbose output mode for framing information. Here is sample
|
|
output from ``nghttp`` client::
|
|
|
|
$ src/nghttp -nv https://localhost:8443

nghttpd - server
|
|
++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
``nghttpd`` is a multi-threaded static web server.
|
|
|
|
By default, it uses SSL/TLS connection. Use ``--no-tls`` option to
|
|
disable it.
|
|
|
|
``nghttpd`` only accepts the HTTP/2 connection via NPN/ALPN or direct
|
|
HTTP/2 connection. No HTTP Upgrade is supported.
|
|
|
|
``-p`` option allows users to configure server push.
|
|
|
|
Just like ``nghttp``, it has verbose output mode for framing
|
|
information. Here is sample output from ``nghttpd`` server::
|
|
|
|
$ src/nghttpd --no-tls -v 8080

nghttpx - proxy
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
``nghttpx`` is a multi-threaded reverse proxy for
|
|
``h2-11``, SPDY and HTTP/1.1. It has several operation modes:
|
|
|
|
================== ============================ ============== =============
|
|
Mode option Frontend Backend Note
|
|
================== ============================ ============== =============
|
|
default mode HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/1.1 Reverse proxy
|
|
``--http2-proxy`` HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/1.1 SPDY proxy
|
|
``--http2-bridge`` HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/2 (TLS)
|
|
``--client`` HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 (TLS)
|
|
``--client-proxy`` HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 (TLS) Forward proxy
|
|
================== ============================ ============== =============
|
|
|
|
The interesting mode at the moment is the default mode. It works like
|
|
a reverse proxy and listens for ``h2-11``, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 and can
|
|
be deployed SSL/TLS terminator for existing web server.
|
|
|
|
The default mode, ``--http2-proxy`` and ``--http2-bridge`` modes use
|
|
SSL/TLS in the frontend connection by default. To disable SSL/TLS,
|
|
use ``--frontend-no-tls`` option. If that option is used, SPDY is
|
|
disabled in the frontend and incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be
|
|
upgraded to HTTP/2 through HTTP Upgrade.
|
|
|
|
The ``--http2-bridge``, ``--client`` and ``--client-proxy`` modes use
|
|
SSL/TLS in the backend connection by deafult. To disable SSL/TLS, use
|
|
``--backend-no-tls`` option.
|
|
|
|
``nghttpx`` supports configuration file. See ``--conf`` option and
|
|
sample configuration file ``nghttpx.conf.sample``.
|
|
|
|
``nghttpx`` does not support server push.
|
|
|
|
In the default mode, (without any of ``--http2-proxy``,
|
|
``--http2-bridge``, ``--client-proxy`` and ``--client`` options),
|
|
``nghttpx`` works as reverse proxy to the backend server::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1) --> Web Server
|
|
[reverse proxy]
|
|
|
|
With ``--http2-proxy`` option, it works as so called secure proxy (aka
|
|
SPDY proxy)::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1) --> Proxy
|
|
[secure proxy] (e.g., Squid)
|
|
|
|
The ``Client`` in the above is needs to be configured to use
|
|
``nghttpx`` as secure proxy.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: javascript
|
|
|
|
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
|
|
return "HTTPS SERVERADDR:PORT";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
``SERVERADDR`` and ``PORT`` is the hostname/address and port of the
|
|
machine nghttpx is running. Please note that Chrome requires valid
|
|
certificate for secure proxy.
|
|
|
|
Then run Chrome with the following arguments::
|
|
|
|
$ google-chrome --proxy-pac-url=file:///path/to/proxy.pac --use-npn
|
|
|
|
With ``--http2-bridge``, it accepts HTTP/2, SPDY and HTTP/1.1
|
|
connections and communicates with backend in HTTP/2::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2) --> Web or HTTP/2 Proxy etc
|
|
(e.g., nghttpx -s)
|
|
|
|
With ``--client-proxy`` option, it works as forward proxy and expects
|
|
that the backend is HTTP/2 proxy::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2) --> HTTP/2 Proxy
|
|
[forward proxy] (e.g., nghttpx -s)
|
|
|
|
The ``Client`` needs to be configured to use nghttpx as forward
|
|
proxy. The frontend HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to HTTP/2
|
|
through HTTP Upgrade. With the above configuration, one can use
|
|
HTTP/1.1 client to access and test their HTTP/2 servers.
|
|
|
|
With ``--client`` option, it works as reverse proxy and expects that
|
|
the backend is HTTP/2 Web server::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2) --> Web Server
|
|
[reverse proxy]
|
|
|
|
The frontend HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to HTTP/2
|
|
through HTTP Upgrade.
|
|
|
|
For the operation modes which talk to the backend in HTTP/2 over
|
|
SSL/TLS, the backend connections can be tunneled through HTTP proxy.
|
|
The proxy is specified using ``--backend-http-proxy-uri`` option. The
|
|
following figure illustrates the example of ``--http2-bridge`` and
|
|
``--backend-http-proxy-uri`` options to talk to the outside HTTP/2
|
|
proxy through HTTP proxy::
|
|
|
|
Client <-- (HTTP/2, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2) --
|
|
|
|
--===================---> HTTP/2 Proxy
|
|
(HTTP proxy tunnel) (e.g., nghttpx -s)
|
|
|
|
Benchmarking tool
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The ``h2load`` program is a benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY.
|
|
The SPDY support is enabled if the program was built with spdylay
|
|
library. The UI of ``h2load`` is heavily inspired by ``weighttp``
|
|
(https://github.com/lighttpd/weighttp). The typical usage is as
|
|
follows::
|
|
|
|
$ src/h2load -n1000 -c10 -m10 https://127.0.0.1:8443/
|
|

HPACK tools
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The ``src`` directory contains HPACK tools. The ``deflatehd`` is a
|
|
command-line header compression tool. The ``inflatehd`` is
|
|
command-line header decompression tool. Both tools read input from
|
|
stdin and write output to stdout. The errors are written to stderr.
|
|
They take JSON as input and output. We use (mostly) same JSON data
|
|
format described at https://github.com/http2jp/hpack-test-case
|
|
|
|
deflatehd - header compressor
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
The ``deflatehd`` reads JSON data or HTTP/1-style header fields from
|
|
stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON.
|
|
|
|
For the JSON input, the root JSON object must include ``cases`` key.
|
|
Its value has to include the sequence of input header set. They share
|
|
the same compression context and are processed in the order they
|
|
appear. Each item in the sequence is a JSON object and it must
|
|
include ``headers`` key. Its value is an array of a JSON object,
|
|
which includes exactly one name/value pair.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"cases":
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"headers": [
|
|
{ ":method": "GET" },
|
|
{ ":path": "/" }
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"headers": [
|
|
{ ":method": "POST" },
|
|
{ ":path": "/" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
With ``-t`` option, the program can accept more familiar HTTP/1 style
|
|
header field block. Each header set is delimited by empty line:
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
:method: GET
|
|
:scheme: https
|
|
:path: /
|
|
|
|
:method: POST
|
|
user-agent: nghttp2
|
|
|
|
The output is JSON object. It should include ``cases`` key and its
|
|
value is an array of JSON object, which has at least following keys:
|
|
|
|
seq
|
|
The index of header set in the input.
|
|
|
|
input_length
|
|
The sum of length of name/value pair in the input.
|
|
|
|
output_length
|
|
The length of compressed header block.
|
|
|
|
percentage_of_original_size
|
|
``input_length`` / ``output_length`` * 100
|
|
|
|
wire
|
|
The compressed header block in hex string.
|
|
|
|
headers
|
|
The input header set.
|
|
|
|
header_table_size
|
|
The header table size adjusted before deflating header set.

}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output can be used as the input for ``inflatehd`` and
|
|
``deflatehd``.
|
|
|
|
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``header_table`` key is added and its
|
|
associated value includes the state of dynamic header table after the
|
|
corresponding header set was processed. The value includes at least
|
|
the following keys:
|
|
|
|
entries
|
|
The entry in the header table. If ``referenced`` is ``true``, it
|
|
is in the reference set. The ``size`` includes the overhead (32
|
|
bytes). The ``index`` corresponds to the index of header table.
|
|
The ``name`` is the header field name and the ``value`` is the
|
|
header field value.
|
|
|
|
size
|
|
The sum of the spaces entries occupied, this includes the
|
|
entry overhead.
|
|
|
|
max_size
|
|
The maximum header table size.
|
|
|
|
deflate_size
|
|
The sum of the spaces entries occupied within
|
|
``max_deflate_size``.
|
|
|
|
max_deflate_size
|
|
The maximum header table size encoder uses. This can be smaller
|
|
than ``max_size``. In this case, encoder only uses up to first
|
|
``max_deflate_size`` buffer. Since the header table size is still
|
|
``max_size``, the encoder has to keep track of entries ouside the
|
|
``max_deflate_size`` but inside the ``max_size`` and make sure
|
|
that they are no longer referenced.

inflatehd - header decompressor
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
The ``inflatehd`` reads JSON data from stdin and outputs decompressed
|
|
name/value pairs in JSON.
|
|
|
|
The root JSON object must include ``cases`` key. Its value has to
|
|
include the sequence of compressed header block. They share the same
|
|
compression context and are processed in the order they appear. Each
|
|
item in the sequence is a JSON object and it must have at least
|
|
``wire`` key. Its value is a compressed header block in hex string.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"cases":
|
|
[
|
|
{ "wire": "8285" },
|
|
{ "wire": "8583" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The output is JSON object. It should include ``cases`` key and its
|
|
value is an array of JSON object, which has at least following keys:
|
|
|
|
seq
|
|
The index of header set in the input.
|
|
|
|
headers
|
|
The JSON array includes decompressed name/value pairs.
|
|
|
|
wire
|
|
The compressed header block in hex string.
|
|
|
|
header_table_size
|
|
The header table size adjusted before inflating compressed header
|
|
block.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"cases":
|
|
[
|
|
{
|

|
],
|
|
"header_table_size": 4096
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The output can be used as the input for ``deflatehd`` and
|
|
``inflatehd``.
|
|
|
|
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``header_table`` key is added and its
|
|
associated value includes the state of dynamic header table after the
|
|
corresponding header set was processed. The format is the same as
|
|
``deflatehd``.
|
|
|
|
Python bindings
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This ``python`` directory contains nghttp2 Python bindings. The
|
|
bindings currently provide HPACK compressor and decompressor classes
|
|
and HTTP/2 server.
|
|
|
|
The extension module is called ``nghttp2``.
|
|
|
|
``make`` will build the bindings and target Python version is
|
|
determined by configure script. If the detected Python version is not
|
|
what you expect, specify a path to Python executable in ``PYTHON``
|
|
variable as an argument to configure script (e.g., ``./configure
|
|
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.3``).
|
|
|
|
The following example code illustrates basic usage of HPACK compressor
|
|
and decompressor in Python:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import binascii
|
|
import nghttp2
|
|
|
|
deflater = nghttp2.HDDeflater()
|
|
inflater = nghttp2.HDInflater()
|
|
|
|
data = deflater.deflate([(b'foo', b'bar'),
|
|
(b'baz', b'buz')])
|
|
print(binascii.b2a_hex(data))
|
|
|
|
hdrs = inflater.inflate(data)
|
|
print(hdrs)
|
|
|
|
The ``nghttp2.HTTP2Server`` class builds on top of the asyncio event
|
|
loop. On construction, *RequestHandlerClass* must be given, which
|
|
must be a subclass of ``nghttp2.BaseRequestHandler`` class.
|
|
|
|
The ``BaseRequestHandler`` class is used to handle the HTTP/2 stream.
|
|
By default, it does nothing. It must be subclassed to handle each
|
|
event callback method.
|
|
|
|
The first callback method invoked is ``on_headers()``. It is called
|
|
when HEADERS frame, which includes request header fields, has arrived.
|
|
|
|
If request has request body, ``on_data(data)`` is invoked for each
|
|
chunk of received data.
|
|
|
|
When whole request is received, ``on_request_done()`` is invoked.
|
|
|
|
When stream is closed, ``on_close(error_code)`` is called.
|
|
|
|
The application can send response using ``send_response()`` method.
|
|
It can be used in ``on_headers()``, ``on_data()`` or
|
|
``on_request_done()``.
|
|
|
|
The application can push resource using ``push()`` method. It must be
|
|
used before ``send_response()`` call.
|
|
|
|
The following instance variables are available:
|
|
|
|
client_address
|
|
Contains a tuple of the form (host, port) referring to the
|
|
client's address.
|
|
|
|
stream_id
|
|
Stream ID of this stream.
|
|
|
|
scheme
|
|
Scheme of the request URI. This is a value of :scheme header
|
|
field.
|
|
|
|
method
|
|
Method of this stream. This is a value of :method header field.
|
|
|
|
host
|
|
This is a value of :authority or host header field.
|
|
|
|
path
|
|
This is a value of :path header field.
|
|
|
|
The following example illustrates the HTTP2Server and
|
|
BaseRequestHandler usage:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python

ctx = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
|
|
ctx.options = ssl.OP_ALL | ssl.OP_NO_SSLv2
|
|
ctx.load_cert_chain('server.crt', 'server.key')
|
|
|
|
# give None to ssl to make the server non-SSL/TLS
|
|
server = nghttp2.HTTP2Server(('127.0.0.1', 8443), Handler, ssl=ctx)
|
|
server.serve_forever()
