The same edge cases that fail with other handshake methods
also fail here (mostly bad preface/timeouts stuff). In
addition, the HTTP2-Settings header contents are currently
not checked and so the related edge case tests also fail.
Currently only testing handshake.
Tests that pass currently involve no request/response.
ALPN and prior knowledge support have some edge cases left to fix.
HTTP/1.1 Upgrade has not been implemented yet.
Breaking changes with previous commit. This is a very large change,
and I am giving up on making a single commit that fixes everything.
More commits will follow slowly adding back features, introducing
new tests and fixing the documentation.
This change contains most of the work toward unifying the interface
for handling both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. HTTP/1.1 connections are now
no longer 1 process per connection; instead by default 1 process per
request is also created. This has a number of pros and cons.
Because it has cons, we also allow users to use a lower-level API
that acts on "streams" (requests/responses) directly at the connection
process-level. If performance is a concern, one can always write a
stream handler. The performance in this case will be even greater
than with Cowboy 1, although all the special handlers are unavailable.
When switching to Websocket, after the handler returns from init/2,
Cowboy stops the stream and the Websocket protocol takes over the
connection process. Websocket then calls websocket_init/2 for any
additional initialization such as timers, because the process is
different in init/2 and websocket_*/* functions. This however would
allow us to use websocket_init/2 for sending messages on connect,
instead of sending ourselves a message and be subject to races.
Note that websocket_init/2 is optional.
This is all a big change and while most of the tests pass, some
functionality currently doesn't. SPDY is broken and will be removed
soon in favor of HTTP/2. Automatic compression is currently disabled.
The cowboy_req interface probably still have a few functions that
need to be updated. The docs and examples do not refer the current
functionality anymore.
Everything will be fixed over time. Feedback is more than welcome.

Fixes#839 when 'Connection: Keep-Alive' wasn't sent in a HTTP/1.0
response. Now the usage of 'Connection' header is consistent with
current protocol version: when this header is not specified explicitly
in the response, HTTP/1.0 implies 'Connection: close' and HTTP/1.1
implies 'Connection: Keep-Alive'. So if current 'Connection' value
matches the default value of current protocol, we won't state obvious
fact in the response; and vice versa.
Amended to fix and improve tests, and revert the variable name
change from HTTP11Headers to StdHeaders. I think it's still good
to leave it as is because it's not really a standard header for
HTTP/1.0, and it's gone from HTTP/2 entirely.
This commit is not only an early preview of HTTP/2, it is an
early preview of the new Cowboy architecture that will be
presented tomorrow in my talk. If you have found it before
the talk, great! It's not complete so you better go watch
the talk anyway.
This is a large commit.
The rfc7230 test suite adds many tests from the RFC7230 document.
Gun has been updated quite a bit recently, which broke the Cowboy
suites. This is now fixed with this commit.
A new hook onfirstrequest has been added. It was very useful during
debugging of the test suites.
The initial process code has changed a little; more changes are
expected with the switch to maps for options.
User code may sometimes send an empty value which gets understood
by the client as being the end of the stream while this was not
intended. Ignoring empty values allow making sure the stream isn't
ended by mistake.
Now everywhere in Cowboy when we want to stop something we return
a 'stop' tuple instead of one of the many choices depending on
context that we had before.
This particular change affects middlewares, sub protocols and
REST handlers which were using 'halt' to stop processing.
The 'shutdown' atom has a specific meaning inside OTP. We are
instead going to use 'stop' which is pretty much the equivalent
of what we actually do. 'shutdown' is now reserved for future
special processes implementation.
