nghttp2 - HTTP/2.0 C Library
============================
This is an experimental implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol
version 2.0.
Development Status
------------------
We started to implement HTTP-draft-07/2.0
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-07) and the
header compression
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-04).
The nghttp2 code base was forked from spdylay project.

Public Test Server
------------------
The following endpoints are available to try out nghttp2
implementation. These endpoints supports ``HTTP-draft-07/2.0`` and
the earlier draft versions are not supporeted.
* https://106.186.112.116 (TLS + NPN)
NPN offers ``HTTP-draft-07/2.0``, ``spdy/3.1``, ``spdy/3``,
``spdy/2`` and ``http/1.1``.
Note: certificate is self-signed and a browser will show alert
* http://106.186.112.116 (Upgrade + Direct)
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
required:
* cunit >= 2.1
To build the documentation, you need to install:
* sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
To build and run the application programs (``nghttp``, ``nghttpd`` and
``nghttpx``) in ``src`` directory, the following packages are
required:
* OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
* libevent-openssl >= 2.0.8
To enable SPDY protocol in the application program ``nghttpx``, the
following packages are required:
* spdylay >= 1.0.0
To enable ``-a`` option (getting linked assets from the downloaded
resource) in ``nghttp``, the following packages are needed:
* libxml2 >= 2.7.7
The header compression test tools in hdtest directory require the
following package:
* jansson >= 2.5
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
* libjansson-dev
spdylay is not packaged in Ubuntu, so you need to build it yourself:
http://spdylay.sourceforge.net/
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
----------------------
.. note::
Documentation is still incomplete.
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``.
The online documentation is available at
http://tatsuhiro-t.github.io/nghttp2/
Client, Server and Proxy programs
---------------------------------
The src directory contains HTTP/2.0 client, server and proxy programs.
nghttp - client
+++++++++++++++
``nghttp`` is a HTTP/2.0 client. It can connect to the HTTP/2.0 server
with prior knowledge, HTTP Upgrade and NPN TLS extension.
It has verbose output mode for framing information. Here is sample
output from ``nghttp`` client::
$ src/nghttp -vn https://localhost:8443

nghttpd - server
++++++++++++++++
``nghttpd`` is static web server. It is single threaded and
multiplexes connections using non-blocking socket.
By default, it uses SSL/TLS connection. Use ``--no-tls`` option to
disable it.
``nghttpd`` only accept the HTTP/2.0 connection via NPN or direct
HTTP/2.0 connection. No HTTP Upgrade is supported.
Just like ``nghttp``, it has verbose output mode for framing
information. Here is sample output from ``nghttpd`` server::

nghttpx - proxy
+++++++++++++++
The ``nghttpx`` is a multi-threaded reverse proxy for
HTTP-draft-07/2.0, SPDY and HTTP/1.1. It has several operation modes:
================== ============================== ============== =============
Mode option Frontend Backend Note
================== ============================== ============== =============
default mode HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/1.1 Reverse proxy
``--http2-proxy`` HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/1.1 SPDY proxy
``--http2-bridge`` HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1 (TLS) HTTP/2.0 (TLS)
``--client`` HTTP/2.0, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2.0 (TLS)
``--client-proxy`` HTTP/2.0, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2.0 (TLS) Forward proxy
================== ============================== ============== =============
The interesting mode at the moment is the default mode. It works like
a reverse proxy and listens HTTP-draft-07/2.0, SPDY and HTTP/1.1 and
can be deployed SSL/TLS terminator for existing web server.
The default mode, ``--http2-proxy`` and ``--http2-bridge`` modes use
SSL/TLS in the frontend connection by default. To disable SSL/TLS, use
``--frontend-no-tls`` option. If that option is used, SPDY is disabled
in the frontend and incoming HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to
HTTP/2.0 through HTTP Upgrade.
The ``--http2-bridge``, ``--client`` and ``--client-proxy`` modes use
SSL/TLS in the backend connection by deafult. To disable SSL/TLS, use
``--backend-no-tls`` option.
The ``nghttpx`` supports configuration file. See ``--conf`` option and
sample configuration file ``nghttpx.conf.sample``.
In the default mode, (without any of ``--http2-proxy``,
``--http2-bridge``, ``--client-proxy`` and ``--client`` options),
``nghttpx`` works as reverse proxy to the backend server::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1) --> Web Server
[reverse proxy]
With ``--http2-proxy`` option, it works as so called secure proxy (aka
SPDY proxy)::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1) --> Proxy
[secure proxy] (e.g., Squid)
The ``Client`` in the above is needs to be configured to use
``nghttpx`` as secure proxy.
At the time of this writing, Chrome is the only browser which supports
secure proxy. The one way to configure Chrome to use secure 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 nghttpx is running. Please note that Chrome requires valid
certificate for secure proxy.
Then run chrome with the following arguments::
$ google-chrome --proxy-pac-url=file:///path/to/proxy.pac --use-npn
With ``--http2-bridge``, it accepts HTTP/2.0, SPDY and HTTP/1.1
connections and communicates with backend in HTTP/2.0::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2.0) --> Web or HTTP/2.0 Proxy etc
(e.g., nghttpx -s)
With ``--client-proxy`` option, it works as forward proxy and expects
that the backend is HTTP/2.0 proxy::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2.0) --> HTTP/2.0 Proxy
[forward proxy] (e.g., nghttpx -s)
The ``Client`` is needs to be configured to use nghttpx as forward
proxy. The frontend HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to HTTP/2.0
through HTTP Upgrade. With the above configuration, one can use
HTTP/1.1 client to access and test their HTTP/2.0 servers.
With ``--client`` option, it works as reverse proxy and expects that
the backend is HTTP/2.0 Web server::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2.0) --> Web Server
[reverse proxy]
The frontend HTTP/1.1 connection can be upgraded to HTTP/2.0
through HTTP Upgrade.
For the operation modes which talk to the backend in HTTP/2.0 over
SSL/TLS, the backend connections can be tunneled though HTTP
proxy. The proxy is specified using ``--backend-http-proxy-uri``
option. The following figure illustrates the example of
``--http2-bridge`` and ``--backend-http-proxy-uri`` option to talk to
the outside HTTP/2.0 proxy through HTTP proxy::
Client <-- (HTTP/2.0, SPDY, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2.0) --
--===================---> HTTP/2.0 Proxy
(HTTP proxy tunnel) (e.g., nghttpx -s)
Header compression test tools
-----------------------------
The ``hdtest`` directory contains header compression test tools. The
``deflatehd`` is command-line header compression tool. The
``inflatehd`` is command-line header decompression tool. Both tools
read input from stdin and write output to stdout. The errors are
written to stderr. They take JSON as input and output.
deflatehd - header compressor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``deflatehd`` reads JSON array or HTTP/1-style header fields from
stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON array.
For the JSON input, the element of input array must be a JSON
object. Each object must have at least following key:
headers
A JSON array of name/value pairs. The each element is a JSON array
of 2 strings. The index 0 must contain header name and the index 1
must contain header value.
Example::
[
{
"headers": [
[ ":method", "GET" ],
[ ":path", "/" ]
]
},
{
"headers": [
[ ":method", "POST" ],
[ ":path", "/" ]
]
}
]
These header sets are processed in the order they appear in the JSON
outer most array using same compression context.
With ``-t`` option, the program can accept more familiar HTTP/1 style
header field block. Each header set is delimited by empty line:
Example::
:method: GET
:scheme: https
:path: /
:method: POST
user-agent: nghttp2
The output is a JSON array and each element is JSON object, which has
at least following keys:
seq
The index of header set in the input.
inputLen
The sum of length of name/value pair in the input.
outputLength
The length of compressed header block.
percentageOfOriginalSize
inputLen / outputLength * 100
output
The compressed header block in hex string.
Examples::
[
{
"seq": 0,
"inputLen": 66,
"outputLength": 20,
"percentageOfOriginalSize": 30.303030303030305,
"output": "818703881f3468e5891afcbf863c856659c62e3f"
},
{
"seq": 1,
"inputLen": 74,
"outputLength": 10,
"percentageOfOriginalSize": 13.513513513513514,
"output": "87038504252dd5918386"
}
]
The output can be used as the input for ``inflatehd``.
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``headerTable`` key is added and its
associated value contains the state of dyanmic header table after the
corresponding header set was processed. The value contains following
keys:
entries
The entry in the header table. If ``referenced`` is ``true``, it
is in the reference set. The ``size`` includes the overhead (32
bytes). The ``index`` corresponds to the index of header table.
The ``name`` is the header field name and the ``value`` is the
header field value. They may be displayed as ``**DEALLOCATED**``,
which means that the memory for that string is freed and not
available. This will happen when specifying smaller value in
``-S`` than ``-s``.
size
The sum of the spaces entries occupied, this includes the
entry overhead.
maxSize
The maximum header table size.
deflateSize
The sum of the spaces entries occupied within ``maxDeflateSize``.
maxDeflateSize
The maximum header table size encoder uses. This can be smaller
than ``maxSize``. In this case, encoder only uses up to first
``maxDeflateSize`` buffer. Since the header table size is still
``maxSize``, the encoder has to keep track of entries ouside the
``maxDeflateSize`` but inside the ``maxSize`` and make sure that
they are no longer referenced.
Example::
[

"seq": 0,
"inputLen": 66,
"outputLength": 20,
"percentageOfOriginalSize": 30.303030303030305,

]
inflatehd - header decompressor
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``inflatehd`` reads JSON array from stdin and outputs decompressed
name/value pairs in JSON array. The element of input array must be a
JSON object. Each object must have at least following key:
output
compressed header block in hex string.
Example::
[
{ "output": "0284f77778ff" },
{ "output": "0185fafd3c3c7f81" }
]
The output is a JSON array and each element is JSON object, which has
at least following keys:
seq
The index of header set in the input.
headers
The JSON array contains decompressed name/value pairs. Each
element is JSON aray having 2 elements. The index 0 of the array
contains the header field name. The index 1 contains the header
field value.
Example::
[
{
"seq": 0,
"headers": [
[":authority", "example.org"],
[":method", "GET"],
[":path", "/"],
[":scheme", "https"],
["user-agent", "nghttp2"]
]
},
{
"seq": 1,
"headers": [
[":authority", "example.org"],
[":method", "POST"],
[":path", "/account"],
[":scheme", "https"],
["user-agent", "nghttp2"]
]
}
]
The output can be used as the input for ``deflatehd``.
With ``-d`` option, the extra ``headerTable`` key is added and its
associated value contains the state of dyanmic header table after the
corresponding header set was processed. The format is the same as
``deflatehd``.
