fix#431, fix#430
The read_some and async_read_some HTTP operations no longer
return the number of bytes that the caller should consume.
Instead, the bytes are automatically removed from the dynamic
buffer as indicated by the parser.
fix#404
Parsing and serialization interfaces have been fine tuned and unified.
For parsing these stream operations are defined:
* read
* read_header
* read_some
* async_read
* async_read_header
* async_read_some
For serialization these stream operations are defined:
* write
* write_header
* write_some
* async_write
* async_write_header
* async_write_some
The concept type traits are renamed for consistency,
and consolidated into a single header file <beast/core/type_traits.hpp>
A new section, Core Concepts, is added to the documentation describing all
of the core utility classes and functions. This also includes a complete
explanation and sample program describing how to write asynchronous initiation
functions and their associated composed operations.
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#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.
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.
