Defaults to a maximum of 1000000 bytes.
Also standardize the te_identity and te_chunked decoding functions.
Now they both try to read as much as possible (up to the limit),
making body reading much faster when not using chunked encoding.
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.
Use a proper HTTP client to run all tests. This client is currently
undocumented and should not be used.
Includes a few fixes:
* Fix a bug in the max_keepalive test
* Fix a bug with max_keepalive handling
* Fix a bug in stream_body/1 where data was lost under some conditions
The tests now run quite faster than before.
All the tests now run twice: once for TCP, once for SSL.
Certain user agents send invalid Accept-Charset headers, like the
following: "ISO-8859-1;utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"
The user agent with which this behavior was observed presented itself
with the User-Agent string: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0" Although this doesn't
appear to be correct. The request might have been mangled by a
transparent proxy.
Introduces 3 low level functions and updates the existing higher
levels functions. The new primitives are has_body/1, body_length/1
and stream_body/1. In addition to that, a helper function
init_stream/4 has been added.
Streaming a body implies to decode the Transfer-Encoding and
Content-Encoding used for the body. By default, Cowboy will try
to figure out what was used and decode them properly. You can
override this if you want to disable this behavior or simply
support more encodings by calling the init_stream/4 function
before you start streaming the body.
Certain user agents send slightly invalid media types, like the
following: "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, ; q=.2, */; q=.2"
The user agent with which this behavior was observed presented itself
with the User-Agent string: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X
10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (FlipboardProxy/0.0.5;
+http://flipboard.com/browserproxy)"
At the same time renaming cowboy_http:content_type_params/3 to
cowboy_http:params/2 (with a default Acc of []) as this code isn't
useful only for content types.
This is a workaround for an issue in the hipe compiler where
compilation of code matching on binaries using patterns of the
form Data = <<Char, _Ignore/bits>> fails because _Ignore is
expected to be used. Using /binary instead of /bits resolves
the issue.
We're applying this change to all binary expressions in cowboy_http
because all functions in this module process human readable text
formats which are always expected to be bytestrings.
Two uses of /bits has been changed to /binary in cowboy_http_websocket
in two clauses of a single function, websocket_data/4. This is safe
to change because the data is later passed to binary:match/2 which
will always fail with a badarg error if the input is a bitstring
instead of a bytestring.
This function complements the cowboy_http:urldecode/2
and urldecode/1 functions. We should have this encoding
covered now. urldecode is only expected to be invoked
by user code, no further changes needed to integrate this.
This change makes the dependency on quoted optional
by adding a minimal urldecode function to cowboy.
A protocol option for setting the urldecoding function
has been added to the cowboy_http_protocol module.
The default value for this option is set to be
equivalent to the default settings for quoted.
{fun cowboy_http:urldecode/2, crash}
A note has been added in the README to document
how to use quoted instead of this function.
A field to store this option value has been added
to the state record in the cowboy_http_protocol
module and the http_req record in include/http.hrl
Functions that previously used quoted:from_url/1
has been updated to require an equivalent function
in addition to the previously required arguments.
This change removes a C compiler from the build
requirements of cowboy. It also removes the requirement
to cross compile the code if the target arch/OS
is different from the arch/OS used to build it.
Considering how it must be used, a simple binary is much better
than a tag and a list of subtags. We still parse them like this
to make sure they follow the specs, though.
