This allows `std.Uri.resolve_inplace` to properly preserve the fact
that `new` is already escaped but `base` may not be. I originally tried
just moving `raw_uri` around, but it made uri resolution unmanagably
complicated, so I instead added per-component information to `Uri` which
allows extra allocations to be avoided when constructing uris with
components from different sources, and in some cases, deferring the work
all the way to when the uri is printed, where an allocator may not even
be needed.
Closes#19587
* Support different keep alive defaults with different http versions.
* Fix incorrect usage of `copyBackwards`, which copies in a backwards
direction allowing data to be moved forward in a buffer, not
backwards in a buffer.
The API automatically handles these requests as expected. After
receiveHead(), the server has a chance to notice the expectation and do
something about it. If it does not, then the Server implementation will
handle it by sending the continuation header when the read stream is
created.
Both respond() and respondStreaming() send the continuation header as
part of discarding the request body, only if the read stream has not
already been created.
Before I mistakenly thought that missing content-length meant zero when
it actually means to stream until the connection is closed.
Now the respond() function accepts transfer_encoding which can be left
as default (use content.len for content-length), set to none which makes
it omit the content-length, or chunked, which makes it format the
response as a chunked transfer even though the server has the entire
contents already buffered.
The echo-content tests are moved from test/standalone/http.zig to the
standard library where they are actually run.
* Uncouple std.http.ChunkParser from protocol.zig
* Fix receiveHead not passing leftover buffer through the header parser.
* Fix content-length read streaming
This implementation handles the final chunk length correctly rather than
"hoping" that the buffer already contains \r\n.
Mainly, this removes the poorly named `wait`, `send`, `finish`
functions, which all operated on the same "Response" object, which was
actually being used as the request.
Now, it looks like this:
1. std.net.Server.accept() gives you a std.net.Server.Connection
2. std.http.Server.init() with the connection
3. Server.receiveHead() gives you a Request
4. Request.reader() gives you a body reader
5. Request.respond() is a one-shot, or Request.respondStreaming() creates
a Response
6. Response.writer() gives you a body writer
7. Response.end() finishes the response; Response.endChunked() allows
passing response trailers.
In other words, the type system now guides the API user down the correct
path.
receiveHead allows extra bytes to be read into the read buffer, and then
will reuse those bytes for the body or the next request upon connection
reuse.
respond(), the one-shot function, will send the entire response in one
syscall.
Streaming response bodies no longer wastefully wraps every call to write
with a chunk header and trailer; instead it only sends the HTTP chunk
wrapper when flushing. This means the user can still control when it
happens but it also does not add unnecessary chunks.
Empirically, in my example project that uses this API, the usage code is
significantly less noisy, it has less error handling while handling
errors more correctly, it's more obvious what is happening, and it is
syscall-optimal.
Additionally:
* Uncouple std.http.HeadParser from protocol.zig
* Delete std.Server.Connection; use std.net.Server.Connection instead.
- The API user supplies the read buffer when initializing the
http.Server, and it is used for the HTTP head as well as a buffer
for reading the body into.
* Replace and document the State enum. No longer is there both "start"
and "first".
* add API for iterating over custom HTTP headers
* remove `trailing` flag from std.http.Client.parse. Instead, simply
don't call parse() for trailers.
* fix the logic inside that parse() function. it was using wrong std.mem
functions, ignoring malformed data, and returned errors on dead
branches.
* simplify logic inside wait()
* fix HeadersParser not dropping the 2 read bytes of \r\n after a
chunked transfer
* move the trailers test to be a std lib unit test and make it pass
