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
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#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.
fix#127
* Added beast::detail::ignore_unused based on boost::ignore_unused
* Added -Wextra compilation flag when building with gcc
* Fixed all unused parameter warnings with ignore_unused
* Fixed all missing includes when building each .hpp separately
fix#114, fix#117, fix#136
* Added init() to Reader requirements
* Reader must be nothrow constructible
* Reader is now constructed right before reading the body
- The message passed on construction is filled in
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
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.
* Fix warnings
* Port cmake scripts to linux
* Add command line options for running test suites
* Add examples to CMakeLists
* Return std::uint64_t from writer::content_length
* basic_parser::write takes asio::const_buffer instead of pointer and size
* Turn message test back on now that it passes
* Rename to http::headers, use std::allocator, remove http_headers
* http::message::method is now a string
* Refactor to_string for ConstBufferSequence
* Remove chunk_encode from the public interface
* Initialize members for default constructed iterators
* Disallow default construction for dependent buffer sequences
Refactor http::message serialization:
* Serialization no longer creates a copy of the
headers and modifies them
* New function prepare(), sets Connection, Transfer-Encoding,
Content-Length based on the body attributes and caller options.
Callers can use prepare() to have the fields set automatically,
or they can set the fields manually.
* Use write for operator<<
* Tests for serialization
