Actions Required:
* Change calls to msg.prepare to msg.prepare_payload. For messages
with a user-defined Fields, provide the function prepare_payload_impl
in the fields type according to the Fields requirements.
Every interface or implementation which operates on a templated
type Fields is evaluated to determine if basic_fields<Allocator>
is more appropriate, and changed if so.
* Container interface more closely matches std::vector
* While preserving the invariant that duplicate fields
with the same case-insensitive name have their order
preserved.
* frame_info struct is removed
* read_frame and async_read_frame return a bool indicating
if the frame is the last frame of the current message.
Actions Required:
* Remove the frame_info parameter from all read frame call sites
* Check the return value 'fin' for calls to read_frame
* Change ReadHandlers passed to async_read_frame to have
the signature void(error_code, bool fin), use the bool
to indicate if the frame is the last frame.
fix#446
* Read signatures no longer include `opcode`
* stream::got_binary and stream::got_text inform the caller if
the current incoming message is binary or text.
Actions Required:
* Remove the `opcode` reference parameter from calls to synchronous
and asynchronous read functions, replace the logic with calls to
stream::got_binary and stream::got_text instead.
The static buffer is updated:
* reset() is no longer a member. Use b.consume(b.size()) instead.
* Simplified implementaton, uses asio instead of custom types
* Better stream performance: consuming the input makes room
available in the output. This class is now suitable for
HTTP reads.
These changes permit the static_buffer wrapper to adapt a user
memory buffer if desired, including a stack based array.
The static_buffer_n class may also be used for this purpose,
it comes with its own storage.
* header::result is a family of functions to replace header::status
* header interface now uses status enum and also ints
* reason-phrase is no longer stored unless the user explicitly
requests it.
* When serializing, the standard reason is used for the
corresponding status code unless the user has changed it.
The verb interfaces now use verb::unknown instead of
boost::optional<verb> == boost::none to indicate that
the request-method is an unrecognized string.
The http::header interface is modified to focus more on the
verb enum rather than the string. For recognized verbs, the
implementation stores an integer instead of the string.
Unknown verbs are still stored as strings.
* header::method now returns a verb
* header::method_string returns the method text
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
fix#398
A new enum status is added for the status code.
The function obsolete_reason returns default reason phrasing.
If a response has an empty reason, the serializer will
automatically insert the default reason phrase for the
status code.
fix#397
method enum class is added to represent all known request methods.
Functions are provided to convert from strings to and from the method
enumeration.
The fields container is modified to also work with the enum.
A new class `serializer` is introduced to permit incremental
serialization of HTTP messages. Existing free functions are
re-implemented in terms of this new class.
* The BodyReader concept is refined to support a greater variety
of strategies for providing buffers representing the body to
the serialization algorithms.
* Added buffer_body, a new model of Body which allows the caller
to provide a series of owned buffers using their own serialization
loop.
* Added empty_body, a model of Body which is for serialization only,
to represent HTTP messages with no content body.
* Removed overloads of write and async_write which send only
the HTTP header.
* Removed public interfaces for performing low-level chunk encoding.
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#124
The http::header data members "method", "url", and "reason"
are changed from data members, to pairs of get and set
functions which forward the call to the Fields type used
to instantiate the template.
Previously, these data members were implemented using
std::string. With this change, the implementation of the
Fields type used to instantiate the template is now in
control of the representation of those values. This permits
custom memory allocation strategies including uniform use of
the Allocator type already provided to beast::http::basic_fields.
fix#332
This removes the keep_alive option from the WebSocket stream.
Callers who wish to control the behavior of the Connection
header may do so in the decorator and completion handlers
for the handshake and accept functions.
fix#325
This removes unused and misleading handshake error codes.
All semantic handshake failures are now reported using
the same code, error::handshake_failed. Errors originating
from stream operations still use the underlying stream
error codes (for example: boost::asio::error::connection_reset).
