The buffer for HTTP headers is now always provided via a static buffer.
As a consequence, OutOfMemory is no longer a member of the read() error
set, and the API and implementation of Client and Server are simplified.
error.HttpHeadersExceededSizeLimit is renamed to
error.HttpHeadersOversize.
Zig deflate compression/decompression implementation. It supports compression and decompression of gzip, zlib and raw deflate format.
Fixes#18062.
This PR replaces current compress/gzip and compress/zlib packages. Deflate package is renamed to flate. Flate is common name for deflate/inflate where deflate is compression and inflate decompression.
There are breaking change. Methods signatures are changed because of removal of the allocator, and I also unified API for all three namespaces (flate, gzip, zlib).
Currently I put old packages under v1 namespace they are still available as compress/v1/gzip, compress/v1/zlib, compress/v1/deflate. Idea is to give users of the current API little time to postpone analyzing what they had to change. Although that rises question when it is safe to remove that v1 namespace.
Here is current API in the compress package:
```Zig
// deflate
fn compressor(allocator, writer, options) !Compressor(@TypeOf(writer))
fn Compressor(comptime WriterType) type
fn decompressor(allocator, reader, null) !Decompressor(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompressor(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// gzip
fn compress(allocator, writer, options) !Compress(@TypeOf(writer))
fn Compress(comptime WriterType: type) type
fn decompress(allocator, reader) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// zlib
fn compressStream(allocator, writer, options) !CompressStream(@TypeOf(writer))
fn CompressStream(comptime WriterType: type) type
fn decompressStream(allocator, reader) !DecompressStream(@TypeOf(reader))
fn DecompressStream(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// xz
fn decompress(allocator: Allocator, reader: anytype) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// lzma
fn decompress(allocator, reader) !Decompress(@TypeOf(reader))
fn Decompress(comptime ReaderType: type) type
// lzma2
fn decompress(allocator, reader, writer !void
// zstandard:
fn DecompressStream(ReaderType, options) type
fn decompressStream(allocator, reader) DecompressStream(@TypeOf(reader), .{})
struct decompress
```
The proposed naming convention:
- Compressor/Decompressor for functions which return type, like Reader/Writer/GeneralPurposeAllocator
- compressor/compressor for functions which are initializers for that type, like reader/writer/allocator
- compress/decompress for one shot operations, accepts reader/writer pair, like read/write/alloc
```Zig
/// Compress from reader and write compressed data to the writer.
fn compress(reader: anytype, writer: anytype, options: Options) !void
/// Create Compressor which outputs the writer.
fn compressor(writer: anytype, options: Options) !Compressor(@TypeOf(writer))
/// Compressor type
fn Compressor(comptime WriterType: type) type
/// Decompress from reader and write plain data to the writer.
fn decompress(reader: anytype, writer: anytype) !void
/// Create Decompressor which reads from reader.
fn decompressor(reader: anytype) Decompressor(@TypeOf(reader)
/// Decompressor type
fn Decompressor(comptime ReaderType: type) type
```
Comparing this implementation with the one we currently have in Zig's standard library (std).
Std is roughly 1.2-1.4 times slower in decompression, and 1.1-1.2 times slower in compression. Compressed sizes are pretty much same in both cases.
More resutls in [this](https://github.com/ianic/flate) repo.
This library uses static allocations for all structures, doesn't require allocator. That makes sense especially for deflate where all structures, internal buffers are allocated to the full size. Little less for inflate where we std version uses less memory by not preallocating to theoretical max size array which are usually not fully used.
For deflate this library allocates 395K while std 779K.
For inflate this library allocates 74.5K while std around 36K.
Inflate difference is because we here use 64K history instead of 32K in std.
If merged existing usage of compress gzip/zlib/deflate need some changes. Here is example with necessary changes in comments:

This adds scheme guessing when loading proxies, such that
`HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1` and such are valid now and it behaves identically
to `HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1`. Additionally fixed a typo that was
causing loadDefaultProxies to never populate the https_proxy.
This reverts commit 0c99ba1eab, reversing
changes made to 5f92b070bf.
This caused a CI failure when it landed in master branch due to a
128-bit `@byteSwap` in std.mem.
std_options.http_connection_pool_size removed in favor of
```
client.connection_pool.resize(client.allocator, size);
```
std_options.http_disable_tls will remove all https capability from
std.http when true. Any https request will error with
`error.TlsInitializationFailed`.
Solves #17051.
adds connectTunnel to form a HTTP CONNECT tunnel to the desired host.
Primarily implemented for proxies, but like connectUnix may be called by
any user.
adds loadDefaultProxies to load proxy information from common
environment variables (http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY,
all_proxy, ALL_PROXY).
- no_proxy and NO_PROXY are currently unsupported.
splits proxy into http_proxy and https_proxy, adds headers field for
arbitrary headers to each proxy.
Addresses #17015 by introducing a new startWithOptions. The only option is currently is a flag
to use the provided URI as is, without modification when passed to the server. Normally, this
is not needed nor desired. However, some REST APIs may have requirements that cannot be satisfied
with the default handling.
Some servers will respond with the identity encoding, meaning no
encoding, especially when responding to range-get requests. Adding the
identity encoding stops the header parser from failing when it
encounters this.
`TailQueue` was implemented as a doubly-linked list, but named after an
abstract data type. This was inconsistent with `SinglyLinkedList`, which
can be used to implement an abstract data type, but is still named after
the implementation. Renaming `TailQueue` to `DoublyLinkedList` improves
consistency between the two type names, and should help discoverability.
`TailQueue` is now a deprecated alias of `DoublyLinkedList`.
Related to issues #1629 and #8233.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
The 'Content-Length' header was inspected by mistake,
which makes it effectively impossible to use chunked
Transfer-Encoding when using the http client.
Tested locally with a HTTP server - data is properly sent
with POST method and the proper encoding declared, after the fix.
Make to avoid releasing request's connection twice.
Change the `Request.connection` field optional. This field is null while the connection is released.
Fixes#15965
Adress review comments from https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/13977
by using the same naming convention as zstd.
And by using `finish()` instead of `close()` for the finalisation of the compressed stream.
rationale:
- it is not the same as how close() is usually used, since it must be called to flush and write the final bytes. And as such it may fail.
- it is not the same `flush` in the deflate code, which allows to keep writting more bytes later, and doesn't write the final checksum.
- it is the same name as used in the original zlib library (Z_FINISH)
Also, use a packed struct for the header, which seems a better fit.
