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).
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
fix#248
This additionally invokes the pong callback for received pings, allowing
callers to more efficiently detect when a connection is still lively:
* pong_callback renamed to ping_callback
* Callback signature has an extra `bool` to indicate if the received
control frame is a ping or pong.
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
ext_list:
Iterable container of comma separated extensions, where each extension
is a token followed an optional list of semicolon delimited parameters,
with each parameter consisting of a name / value pair. The value can
be a token or quoted-string.
param_list:
Iterable container of semicolon delimited parameters, where each parameter
is a name / value pair. The value can be a token or quoted-string.
token_list
Iterable container of comma delimited tokens.

The message class now behaves like a pair with respect to the construction
of the body and headers. Additional constructors allow construction of
just the body portion from a tuple, leaving the headers default
constructed.
Previous constructors are removed as they were a notational convenience
for assembling HTTP/1 requests and responses. They are not necessary
as this library aims at library writers and not end users.
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.
websocket:

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
