is performed in the header conversion bypass (-B) mode.
- http_client: with -E, assign random priority when stream is created.
- [OPTIMIZATION] On immediate write, place an ACK frame into the first
buffered packet if an ACK is queued. This reduces the number of
standalone ACK packets.
- [OPTIMIZATION] Allow placing more than one STREAM frame from the same
stream into an outgoing packet. This change minimizes the number of
buffered packets required to store several small HTTP messages by
virtue of allowing more than one STREAM frame from HEADERS stream in
the same packet.
- [OPTIMIZATION] Flush headers when writing to buffered packets. This
causes the headers to be written to the same buffered packet queue,
thereby improving packet utilization, especially for small HTTP
messages.
- [FEATURE] http_client can now collect stats: time to connect, TTFB,
time to download, requests per seconds, and bandwidth. See -t flag.
- [BUGFIX] http_client: -B, -K, and -r can be used at the same time.
- [BUGFIX] http_client: do not display cert chain before each request.
Now this is only done once per connection, if the handshake is
successful and -a option is given.
- [BUGFIX] Do not wait to dispatch on_close() after reading. If a
stream is scheduled to be closed after on_read() callback returns,
close it immediately instead of waiting until the end of the tick.
If client creates new request from on_close() event, they will be
processed in the same tick instead of waiting for the next one.
- [BUGFIX] HEADERS stream is critical: always treat it with highest
priority.
- [BUGFIX] Add connection to Tickable Queue on stream write
- cmake: use MSVC variable instead of trying to detect
- engine: improve connection incref/decref logging
- stream: don't ignore errors that may occur on triggered flush
- connection: remove obsolete method
- engine: indicate connection as tickable if previous call went
over threshold
The API is simplified: do not expose the user code to several
queues. A "connection queue" is now an internal concept.
The user processes connections using the single function
lsquic_engine_process_conns(). When this function is called,
only those connections are processed that need to be processed.
A connection needs to be processed when:
1. New incoming packets have been fed to the connection.
2. User wants to read from a stream that is readable.
3. User wants to write to a stream that is writeable.
4. There are buffered packets that can be sent out. (This
means that the user wrote to a stream outside of the
lsquic library callback.)
5. A control frame (such as BLOCKED) needs to be sent out.
6. A stream needs to be serviced or delayed stream needs to
be created.
7. An alarm rings.
8. Pacer timer expires.
To achieve this, the library places the connections into two
priority queues (min heaps):
1. Tickable Queue; and
2. Advisory Tick Time queue (ATTQ).
Each time lsquic_engine_process_conns() is called, the Tickable
Queue is emptied. After the connections have been ticked, they are
queried again: if a connection is not being closed, it is placed
either in the Tickable Queue if it is ready to be ticked again or
it is placed in the Advisory Tick Time Queue. It is assumed that
a connection always has at least one timer set (the idle alarm).
The connections in the Tickable Queue are arranged in the least
recently ticked order. This lets connections that have been quiet
longer to get their packets scheduled first.
This change means that the library no longer needs to be ticked
periodically. The user code can query the library when is the
next tick event and schedule it exactly. When connections are
processed, only the tickable connections are processed, not *all*
the connections. When there are no tick events, it means that no
timer event is necessary -- only the file descriptor READ event
is active.
The following are improvements and simplifications that have
been triggered:
- Queue of connections with incoming packets is gone.
- "Pending Read/Write Events" Queue is gone (along with its
history and progress checks). This queue has become the
Tickable Queue.
- The connection hash no longer needs to track the connection
insertion order.
- [API Change] lsquic_engine_connect() returns pointer to the connection
object.
- [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_get_engine() to get engine object from
connection object.
- [API Change] Add lsquic_conn_status() to query connection status.
- [API Change] Add add lsquic_conn_set_ctx().
- [API Change] Add new timestamp format, e.g. 2017-03-21 13:43:46.671345
