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.
The socket staying open meant that the graceful shut down
of the Cowboy listeners were waiting for the connections
to be closed gracefully (or a timeout). Closing explicitly
where it makes sense ensures we don't unnecessarily wait.
This commit removes a full minute in the run time of all
Cowboy test suites (minus examples).
The new module is a merge of the Cowboy and Gun HTTP/2
state machines. Using a common code will help future
developments rather than duplicating the work.
A notable change is in how streams are terminated
when the handler stops before the body is sent. The
cowboy_stream:terminate function is now called only
after the body has been sent fully (or the stream
is reset in-between), not when the stop command is
returned. This will most likely have an impact on
metrics but will be closer to reality.
I had to comment a broken test in rfc7231_SUITE that
was cheating, cheating is no longer possible.
This depends on Cowlib master for the time being. A
new Cowlib version will be released once both Cowboy
and Gun are ported to use cow_http2_machine and I'm
satisfied with it.
