Before this commit frames could "cheat" by compressing data
below the limit which would get expanded above the limit.
Now Cowboy will stop decompressing data when the limit is
reached.
Following the same strategy as Websocket described in
commit cbed21c383e4cebb7df5a0a8b81f18c1738bef3e
Gains are comparable as far as Websocket over HTTP/2
is concerned.
`perf` has shown that Cowboy spends a lot of time
cancelling and starting this timer. Instead of resetting
for every data received, we now only reset a field in the
state.
Before it was working like this:
- start idle timeout timer
- on trigger, close the connection
- on data, cancel and start again
Now it's working like this:
- start idle timeout timer for a tenth of its duration, with tick number = 0
- on trigger, if tick number != 10
- start the timer again, again for a tenth of its duration
- increment tick number
- on trigger, if tick number = 10
- close the connection
- on data, set tick number to 0
It benchmarks binary, ascii, mixed and japanese data
using Websocket and Websocket over HTTP/2.
HTTP/2 options get set to ensure that performance is
better than the default HTTP/2 options.
It switches to Gun and Ranch branches that include
fixes that are required for tests to complete successfully.
Since we only test them on Ubuntu we can use setup-beam
to install Erlang/OTP and avoid waiting for all other
checks to complete.
Also make the "delete master" job conditional rather
than only its step.
This includes Websocket over HTTP/3.
Since quicer, which provides the QUIC implementation,
is a NIF, Cowboy cannot depend directly on it. In order
to enable QUIC and HTTP/3, users have to set the
COWBOY_QUICER environment variable:
export COWBOY_QUICER=1
In order to run the test suites, the same must be done
for Gun:
export GUN_QUICER=1
HTTP/3 support is currently not available on Windows
due to compilation issues of quicer which have yet to
be looked at or resolved.
HTTP/3 support is also unavailable on the upcoming
OTP-27 due to compilation errors in quicer dependencies.
Once resolved HTTP/3 should work on OTP-27.
Because of how QUIC currently works, it's possible
that streams that get reset after sending a response
do not receive that response. The test suite was
modified to accomodate for that. A future extension
to QUIC will allow us to gracefully reset streams.
This also updates Erlang.mk.
This is caused by the timeout being 1s after the period.
When the CI environment is overloaded, sometimes the
timeout will trigger. We retry, knowing that the
timetrap will catch us if we retry too much.
