fix#123fix#154fix#265
This completely replaces the HTTP parser used to read and
parse incoming messages. The new version is faster than
the old one, and written in fewer lines. A summary of
changes:
* parse and async_parse renamed to read and async_read
* basic_parser is optimized for linear buffers,
use flat_streambuf for the best performance with these
functions:
- http::read
- http::read_some
- http::async_read
- http::async_read_some
* The overloads of read() and async_read() which take
just a header have been removed, since they would
throw away important parse metadata.
* The derived class callbacks for basic_parser have
been streamlined. All strings passed to callbacks
are presented in their entirety, instead of being
provided in pieces.
These changes allow use-cases that were previously
difficult or impossible, such as:
- Efficient relaying
- Late body type commitment
- Expect: 100-continue handling
fix#242
* Add public constructors
* Add handler_ptr::empty()
* Add handler_ptr::element_type
* Remove make_handler_ptr free function
* Compiler error if element_type is an array type
* handler_ptr::get() returns nullptr if no object is owned
fix#215
This change guarantees that temporary memory allocated
through the asio hooks by the Beast implementation is
deallocated before invoking the final handler when performing
composed operations.
The change is accomplished by replacing std::shared_ptr with
a thread-safe custom container handler_ptr to manage composed
operation state. The container tracks other instances which
manage the same object and resets them in a safe way before
invoking the final handler.
handler_ptr is provided as a public interface so that users of
this library can utilize the same idiom to write their own
composed operations.
fix#171
Several names and HTTP identifiers are renamed to be
more consistent, self-explanatory, and concise:
* "Fields" is a collection of HTTP header fields (rfc7230 section 3.2)
* "Header" is the Start Line plus Fields. Another way to look at it is,
the HTTP message minus the body.
* `basic_fields` replaces `basic_headers`
* `fields` replaces `headers`
* `Fields` replaces `Headers` in template parameter lists
* `header` replaces `message_headers`
* `header::fields` replaces `message_headers::fields`
The changes are cosmetic and do not affect run-time behavior.
This fixes a problem where a call to read() is ambiguous because
the argument list contains objects from both boost::asio and
beast::http.
Users invoking read may need to do so fully qualified, by writing:
beast::http::read(...);
Conform to the Networking TS by renaming the Streambuf concept
to DynamicBuffer in all places. Values of types meeting the
requirements of DynamicBuffer are renamed to dynabuf.
See:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4478.html#requirements.dynamic_buffers
* Headers renamed
* Formal parameter names renamed
* Template argument types renamed
* Documentation updated
A new concept Parser is introduced with routines to read from a stream
into the parser. This solves a problem with the old read interface where
messages must be default constructible and move assignable.
Parser fixes:
* Fix detect invalid reason-phrase octets
* Fix write_eof to set the 'complete' state on success
* Fix consider parse complete if eof received on empty body
WebSocket:
* Increase coverage
* Don't include the test code in coverage reports
* Add test code for missing coverage
Other:
* Improve the README.md
* Fix warning in sha1_context
* Tidy up the examples use of namespaces
* Various fixes to documentation and javadocs
The version field is moved into message_v1, all public interfaces
are reworked to identify HTTP/1 wire format operations (suffix "_v1")
versus general HTTP.
