As a result we explictly reject path_info components that include
a forward slash, backward slash or NUL character. This only applies
to the [...] part of the path for dir/priv_dir configuration.
Also improve the tests so that they work on Windows.
For long-running connections it was possible for the connection
window to become larger than allowed by the protocol because the
window increases claimed by stream handlers were never reclaimed
even if no data was consumed.
The new code applies heuristics to fix this and reduce the number
of WINDOW_UPDATE frames that are sent. It includes six new options
to control that behavior: margin, max and threshold for both the
connection and stream windows. The margin is some extra space
added on top of the requested read size. The max is the maximum
window size at any given time. The threshold is a minimum window
size that must be reached before we even consider sending more
WINDOW_UPDATE frames. We also avoid sending WINDOW_UPDATE frames
when there is already enough space in the window, or when the
read size is 0.
Cowlib is set to master until a new tag is done.
A bug was fixed in cowboy_rest where when content_types_provided
returned a media type with a wildcard as first in the list, and
a request comes in without an accept header, then the media_type
value in the Req object would contain '*' instead of [] for the
parameters.
The examples test suite is only useful once in a while
in order to know whether examples were broken, for example
before issuing a release.
The new ws_autobahn test suite isolates the autobahn test
suite so that it can be ignored by default. It's only
useful to run it when working on the Websocket code or
before issuing a release.
It allows disabling the chunked transfer-encoding. It
can also be disabled on a per-request basis, although
it will be ignored for responses that are not streamed.
It allows to temporarily disable Websocket compression
when it was negotiated. It's ignored otherwise. This
can be used as fine-grained control when some frames
do not compress well.
