fix#322
The new callback is informed of all frame types including close.
Actions Required:
* Change calls to websocket::stream::ping_callback to use
websocket::stream::control_callback
* Change user defined ping callbacks to have the new
signature and adjust the callback definition appropriately.
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.
fix#446
* The ping_callback option struct is removed.
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use ping_callback with set_option to
call stream::ping_callback instead.
fix#446
* The write_buffer_size option struct is removed.
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use write_buffer_size with set_option to
call stream::write_buffer_size instead.
fix#446
* The read_message_max option struct is removed.
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use read_message_max with set_option to
call stream::read_message_max instead.
fix#446
* The read_buffer_size option struct is removed
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use read_buffer_size with set_option to
call stream::read_buffer_size instead.
fix#446
* message_type is removed
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use message_type with set_option
to call stream::binary or stream::text instead.
fix#374, fix#446
* auto_fragment option struct is removed
Actions Required:
* Change call sites which use auto_fragment with set_option
to call stream::auto_fragment instead.
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#80, #212, fix#303, fix#314, fix#317
websocket::stream now provides the following families of
functions for performing handshakes:
When operating in the server role:
* stream::accept
* stream::accept_ex
* stream::async_accept
* stream::async_accept_ex
When operating in the client role:
* stream::handshake
* stream::handshake_ex
* stream::async_handshake
* stream::async_handshake_ex
Member functions ending with "_ex" allow an additional
RequestDecorator parameter (for the accept family of
functions) or ResponseDecorator parameter (for the
handshake family of functions).
The decorator is called to optionally modify the contents
of the HTTP request or HTTP response object generated by
the implementation, before the message is sent. This
permits callers to set the User-Agent or Server fields,
add or modify HTTP fields related to subprotocols, or
perform any required transformation of the HTTP message
for application-specific needs.
The handshake() family of functions now have an additional
set of overloads accepting a parameter of type response_type&,
allowing the caller to receive the HTTP Response to the
Upgrade handshake. This permits inspection of the response
to handle things like subprotocols, authentication, or
other application-specific needs.
The new implementation does not require any state to be
stored in the stream object. Therefore, websocket::stream
objects are now smaller in size.
The overload of set_option for setting a decorator on the
stream is removed. The only way to set decorators now is
with a suitable overload of accept or handshake.
This adds enough functions to the accept and async_accept
overload set to cover all combinations of request, buffers,
and error_code parameters. This also fixes a defect where
providing a complete Upgrade request when there are additional
unprocessed octets remaining in the callers stream buffer
could not be furnished to the WebSocket implementation.
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
