Spdylay - SPDY C Library
========================
This is an experimental implementation of Google's SPDY protocol in C.
This library provides SPDY version 2 and 3 framing layer
implementation. It does not perform any I/O operations. When the
library needs them, it calls the callback functions provided by the
application. It also does not include any event polling mechanism, so
the application can freely choose the way of handling events. This
library code does not depend on any particular SSL library (except for
example programs which depend on OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later).
This project also develops SPDY client, server and proxy on top of
Spdylay library. See `SPDY Client and Server Programs`_ section.
Development Status
------------------
Most of the SPDY/2 and SPDY/3 functionality has been implemented. In
both versions, the direct support of server-push has not been
available yet. The application can achieve server-push using
primitive APIs though.
As described below, we can create SPDY client and server with the
current Spdylay API.
Requirements
------------
The following packages are needed to build the library:
* pkg-config >= 0.20
* zlib >= 1.2.3
To build and run the unit test programs, the following packages are
needed:
* cunit >= 2.1
To build and run the example programs, the following packages are
needed:
* OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
To enable ``-a`` option (getting linked assets from the downloaded
resouce) in ``spdycat`` (one of the example program), the following
packages are needed:
* libxml2 >= 2.7.7
To build SPDY/HTTPS to HTTP reverse proxy ``shrpx`` (one of the
example program), the following packages are needed:
* libevent-openssl >= 2.0.8
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04, you need the following packages
installed:
* autoconf
* automake
* autotools-dev
* libtool
* pkg-config
* zlib1g-dev
* libcunit1-dev
* libssl-dev
* libxml2-dev
* libevent-dev
Build from git
--------------
Building from git is easy, but please be sure that at least autoconf 2.68 is
used::
$ autoreconf -i
$ automake
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make
Building documentation
----------------------
To build documentation, run::
$ make html
The documents will be generated under ``doc/manual/html/``.
The generated documents will not be installed with ``make install``.
API
---
The public API reference is available on online. Visit
http://spdylay.sourceforge.net/. All public APIs are in
*spdylay/spdylay.h*. All public API functions as well as the callback
function typedefs are documented.
SPDY Client and Server Programs
-------------------------------
The *src* directory contains SPDY client and server implementations
using Spdylay library. These programs are intended to make sure that
Spdylay API is acutally usable for real implementation and also for
debugging purposes. Please note that OpenSSL with `NPN
<http://technotes.googlecode.com/git/nextprotoneg.html>`_ support is
required in order to build and run these programs. At the time of
this writing, the OpenSSL 1.0.1 supports NPN.
Spdycat - SPDY client
+++++++++++++++++++++
The SPDY client is called ``spdycat``. It is a dead simple downloader
like wget/curl. It connects to SPDY server and gets resources given in
the command-line::
$ src/spdycat -h
Usage: spdycat [-Oadnsv23] [-t <SECONDS>] [-w <WINDOW_BITS>] [--cert=<CERT>]
[--key=<KEY>] [--no-tls] <URI>...
OPTIONS:
-v, --verbose Print debug information such as reception/
transmission of frames and name/value pairs.
-n, --null-out Discard downloaded data.
-O, --remote-name Save download data in the current directory.
The filename is dereived from URI. If URI
ends with '/', 'index.html' is used as a
filename. Not implemented yet.
-2, --spdy2 Only use SPDY/2.
-3, --spdy3 Only use SPDY/3.
-t, --timeout=<N> Timeout each request after <N> seconds.
-w, --window-bits=<N>
Sets the initial window size to 2**<N>.
-a, --get-assets Download assets such as stylesheets, images
and script files linked from the downloaded
resource. Only links whose origins are the
same with the linking resource will be
downloaded.
-s, --stat Print statistics.
-H, --header Add a header to the requests.
--cert=<CERT> Use the specified client certificate file.
The file must be in PEM format.
--key=<KEY> Use the client private key file. The file
must be in PEM format.
--no-tls Disable SSL/TLS. Use -2 or -3 to specify
SPDY protocol version to use.
-d, --data=<FILE> Post FILE to server. If - is given, data
will be read from stdin.

Spdyd - SPDY server
+++++++++++++++++++
SPDY server is called ``spdyd`` and serves static files. It is single
threaded and multiplexes connections using non-blocking socket. The
static files are read using blocking I/O system call, ``read(2)``. It
speaks SPDY/2 and SPDY/3::
$ src/spdyd --htdocs=/your/htdocs/ -v 3000 server.key server.crt
IPv4: listen on port 3000
IPv6: listen on port 3000

Currently, ``spdyd`` needs ``epoll`` or ``kqueue``.
Shrpx - A reverse proxy for SPDY/HTTPS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``shrpx`` is a multi-threaded reverse proxy for SPDY/HTTPS. It
converts SPDY/HTTPS traffic to plain HTTP. It is first developed as a
reverse proxy, but now can be used as a forward proxy. For example,
with ``--spdy-proxy`` (``-s`` in shorthand) option, it can be used as
secure SPDY proxy with a proxy (e.g., Squid) in the backend. With
``--cliet-proxy`` (``-p``) option, it acts like an ordinaly forward
proxy but expects secure SPDY proxy in the backend. Thus it becomes an
adapter to secure SPDY proxy for clients which does not support secure
SPDY proxy. It also supports configuration file. See ``--conf``
option and sample configuration file ``shrpx.conf.sample``.
We briefly describe the architecture of ``shrpx`` here. It has a
dedicated thread which listens on server sockets. When it accepted
the incoming connection, it passes the file descriptor of the incoming
connection to one of the worker thread. Each worker thread has its
own event loop and can handle many connections using non-blocking I/O.
The number of worker thread can be specified using the command-line
option. The `libevent <http://libevent.org/>`_ is used to handle
low-level network I/O.
Here is the command-line options::
$ src/shrpx -h
Usage: shrpx [-Dh] [-s|--client|-p] [-b <HOST,PORT>]
[-f <HOST,PORT>] [-n <CORES>] [-c <NUM>] [-L <LEVEL>]
[OPTIONS...] [<PRIVATE_KEY> <CERT>]
A reverse proxy for SPDY/HTTPS.
Positional arguments:
<PRIVATE_KEY> Set path to server's private key. Required
unless either -p or --client is specified.
<CERT> Set path to server's certificate. Required
unless either -p or --client is specified.
OPTIONS:
Connections:
-b, --backend=<HOST,PORT>
Set backend host and port.
Default: '127.0.0.1,80'
-f, --frontend=<HOST,PORT>
Set frontend host and port.
Default: '0.0.0.0,3000'
--backlog=<NUM> Set listen backlog size.
Default: 256
--backend-ipv4 Resolve backend hostname to IPv4 address
only.
--backend-ipv6 Resolve backend hostname to IPv6 address
only.
Performance:
-n, --workers=<CORES>
Set the number of worker threads.
Default: 1
Timeout:
--frontend-spdy-read-timeout=<SEC>
Specify read timeout for SPDY frontend
connection. Default: 180
--frontend-read-timeout=<SEC>
Specify read timeout for non-SPDY frontend
connection. Default: 180
--frontend-write-timeout=<SEC>
Specify write timeout for both SPDY and
non-SPDY frontends.
connection. Default: 60
--backend-read-timeout=<SEC>
Specify read timeout for backend connection.
Default: 900
--backend-write-timeout=<SEC>
Specify write timeout for backend
connection. Default: 60
--backend-keep-alive-timeout=<SEC>
Specify keep-alive timeout for backend
connection. Default: 60
SSL/TLS:
--ciphers=<SUITE> Set allowed cipher list. The format of the
string is described in OpenSSL ciphers(1).
-k, --insecure When used with -p or --client, don't verify
backend server's certificate.
--cacert=<PATH> When used with -p or --client, set path to
trusted CA certificate file.
The file must be in PEM format. It can
contain multiple certificates. If the
linked OpenSSL is configured to load system
wide certificates, they are loaded
at startup regardless of this option.
--private-key-passwd-file=<FILEPATH>
Path to file that contains password for the
server's private key. If none is given and
the private key is password protected it'll
be requested interactively.
SPDY:
-c, --spdy-max-concurrent-streams=<NUM>
Set the maximum number of the concurrent
streams in one SPDY session.
Default: 100
--frontend-spdy-window-bits=<N>
Sets the initial window size of SPDY
frontend connection to 2**<N>.
Default: 16
--backend-spdy-window-bits=<N>
Sets the initial window size of SPDY
backend connection to 2**<N>.
Default: 16
Mode:
-s, --spdy-proxy Enable secure SPDY proxy mode.
--client Instead of accepting SPDY/HTTPS connection,
accept HTTP connection and communicate with
backend server in SPDY. To use shrpx as
a forward proxy, use -p option instead.
-p, --client-proxy Like --client option, but it also requires
the request path from frontend must be
an absolute URI, suitable for use as a
forward proxy.

Set syslog facility.
Default: daemon
Misc:
--add-x-forwarded-for
Append X-Forwarded-For header field to the
downstream request.
--no-via Don't append to Via header field. If Via
header field is received, it is left
unaltered.
-D, --daemon Run in a background. If -D is used, the
current working directory is changed to '/'.
--pid-file=<PATH> Set path to save PID of this program.
--user=<USER> Run this program as USER. This option is
intended to be used to drop root privileges.
--conf=<PATH> Load configuration from PATH.
Default: /etc/shrpx/shrpx.conf
-v, --version Print version and exit.
-h, --help Print this help and exit.
For those of you who are curious, ``shrpx`` is an abbreviation of
"Spdy/https to Http Reverse ProXy".
Without any of ``-s``, ``-p`` and ``--client`` options, ``shrpx``
works as reverse proxy to the backend server::
Client <-- (SPDY, HTTPS) --> Shrpx <-- (HTTP) --> Web Server
[reverse proxy]
With ``-s`` option, it works as secure SPDY proxy::
Client <-- (SPDY, HTTPS) --> Shrpx <-- (HTTP) --> Proxy
[SPDY proxy] (e.g., Squid)
* Client is needs to be configured to use shrpx as secure SPDY proxy.
At the time of this writing, Chrome is the only browser which supports
secure SPDY proxy. The one way to configure Chrome to use secure SPDY
proxy is create proxy.pac script like this::
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
return "HTTPS SERVERADDR:PORT";
}
``SERVERADDR`` and ``PORT`` is the hostname/address and port of the
machine shrpx is running. Please note that Chrome requires valid
certificate for secure SPDY proxy.
Then run chrome with the following arguments::
$ google-chrome --proxy-pac-url=file:///path/to/proxy.pac --use-npn
With ``-p`` option, it works as forward proxy and expects that the
backend is secure SPDY proxy::
Client <-- (HTTP) --> Shrpx <-- (SPDY) --> Secure SPDY Proxy
[forward proxy] (e.g., shrpx -s or node-spdyproxy)
* Client is needs to be configured to use shrpx as forward proxy.
In this configuration, clients which do not support secure SPDY proxy
can use secure SPDY proxy through ``shrpx``. Putting ``shrpx`` in the
same box or same network with the clients, this configuration can
bring the benefits of secure SPDY proxy to those clients. Since the
maximum number of connections per server still applies in proxy
connection, the performance gain is not obvious. For example, if the
maximum number of connections per server is 6, after sending 6
requests to the proxy, client blocks further requests, which kills
performance which might be gained in SPDY connection. For clients
which can tweak these values (e.g.,
``network.http.max-connections-per-server`` in Firefox), increasing
them may improve the performance.
With ``--client`` option, it works as reverse proxy and expects that
the backend is SPDY-enabled Web server::
Client <-- (HTTP) --> Shrpx <-- (SPDY) --> Web Server
[reverse proxy]
