This behavior can be enabled with the `compress` protocol option.
See the `compress_response` example for more details.
All tests are now ran with and without compression for both HTTP
and HTTPS.
It was added to help with response body streaming functions.
But it was a clumsy solution that we discarded in favor of
passing socket and transport to said function. It was also
very odd compared to the rest of the cowboy_req interface.
If you used this function before, worry not, here's its
proper equivalent.
[Socket, Transport] = cowboy_req:get([socket, transport], Req)
This function was badly thought out and would cause more harm
than good if used at all. Recommendation will be for people
who need to limit body length to check it beforehand or when
not possible to use the stream_body API.
Includes:
* cowboy_clock:rfc2109/1 now expects UTC datetime
* Rewrite of the cookie code to cowboy_http
* Removal of cowboy_cookies
* Add type cowboy_req:cookie_opts/0
Cookies should now be set using cowboy_req:set_resp_cookie/3.
Code calling cowboy_cookies directly will need to be updated.
* #state{} changes are avoided where possible
* #state{} is now smaller and use less memory
* the Req object is created only after the whole request is parsed
* parsing makes use of a single binary match context
* external calls are avoided in the critical path
* URL fragment is now extracted properly (retrieval API next commit)
* argument orders to local functions modified to avoid extra operations
* dispatching waits as long as possible before tokenizing host/path
* handler opts are no longer shown in the error messages except in init
The code may not look as beautiful as it was before. But it really
is, for parsing code. The parsing section of the file may be skipped
if your eyes start to burn.
Header names are now binaries. Since header names are case insensitive
they are all converted to lowercase. For example: <<"content-length">>.
The max_line_length option was removed. Three new options have been
added instead:
* max_request_line_length (defaults to 4096)
* max_header_name_length (defaults to 64)
* max_header_value_length (defaults to 4096)
First step in making all methods and header names binaries to
get rid of many inconsistencies caused by decode_packet/3.
Methods are all binary now. Note that since they are case
sensitive, the usual methods become <<"GET">>, <<"POST">> and so on.
Remove http.hrl in the process.
If you feel furious about this change after reaching this commit,
don't worry! You probably just need a few access or modification
functions to be added in cowboy_req for your needs. Problem is,
I don't know these. I'll be very thankful if you can open a ticket
and tell me all about it so the best solution can be swiftly
implemented to make you happy again.
