The websocket stream is optimized to contain a small
circular static buffer, reducing the number of I/O calls when
reading data. The size of the buffer is tuned for maximum
performance with TCP/IP and no long needs configuration:
* read_some replaces read_frame
* write_some replaces write_Frame
* async_read_some replaces async_read_frame
* async_write_some replaces async_write_frame
* websocket::stream::read_buffer_size is removed
Actions Required:
* Remove calls websocket::stream::read_buffer_size
* Use read_some and write_some instead of read_frame and write_frame
* static_buffer is added
Note this is the same name from two versions ago, when
static_buffer was renamed to flat_static_buffer for
consistency and to clear the name for a circular static
buffer.
Actions Required:
* Callers who depend on static_buffer returning sequences of
exactly length one should switch to flat_static_buffer.
* parser now has a callback feature for intercepting chunk headers
and chunk bodies
* The names for basic_parser derived class callbacks have been
refactored
* basic_parser offers an additional callback for distinguishing
chunk body data.
Actions Required:
* Adjust signatures for required members of user-defined
subclasses of basic_parser
* Use the new basic_parser chunk callbacks for accessing
chunk extensions and chunk bodies.
New buffer sequence classes are provided to allow full
control over the serialization of chunk-encoded message
payloads:
* chunk_header
A ConstBufferSequence representing the chunk header.
It includes a hexadecimal-encoded size, an optional
set of chunk extensions, and the trailing CRLF
required to denote the end of the chunk header.
This allows the caller to manually serialize the chunk
body in one or more calls to a stream output function.
The caller must also output an object of type `chunk_crlf`
to the stream to indicate the end of the chunk body.
* chunk_crlf
A small ConstBufferSequence that simply represents
the two character sequence "\r\n" (CRLF). This is needed
for the case where the caller wants to output a chunk
body as a series of buffers (i.e. "chunking a chunk").
* chunk_body
A ConstBufferSequence representing a complete chunk.
This includes the size, an optional set of chunk extensions,
a caller provided buffer containing the body, and the
required CRLF that follows.
* chunk_final
A ConstBufferSequence representing a final chunk. It
includes an optional set of caller-provided field trailers
* chunk_extensions
A container for building a set of chunk extensions to use
during serialization. The use of the container is optional,
callers may provide their own buffer containing a correctly
formatted set of chunk extensions, or they may use their
own convenience container which meets the requirements.
The basic_fields container is modified to allow construction
outside the context of a message. The container can be used
to provide trailers to `chunk_final`.
Actions Required:
* Remove references to ChunkDecorators. Use the new chunk-encoding
buffer sequences to manually produce a chunked payload body in
the case where control over the chunk-extensions and/or trailers
is required.
These types now perform error-based initialization in
a separate init() functions instead of in the constructor.
Actions Required:
* Modify instances of user-defined BodyReader and BodyWriter
types to perfrom two-phase initialization, as per the
updated documented type requirements.
`put` returns the number of bytes actually transferred
from the input buffers.
Actions Required:
* Return the number of bytes actually transferred from the
input buffers in user defined `Body::writer::put` functions.
fix#550
* default body limits are now 1MB/8MB
* default header limit is 8KB
Actions Required:
* Call body_limit and/or header_limit as needed to adjust the
limits to suitable values if the defaults are insufficient.
The is_deferred nested type is removed from the BodyReader
requirements.
Performance for sending messages with `file_body` was cut
almost in half with is_deferred as `std::true_type` since
it caused double the number of socket writes. If the
deferred behavior is absolutely necessary, callers can get
the same effect by manually sending the headers first.
Actions Required:
* Callers who need the behavior of is_deferred as `std::true_type`
should manually construct a serializer and serialize the header
first, followed by the body.
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.
