.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBnghttp\fP [OPTIONS]... <URI>...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
HTTP/2 client
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <URI>
Specify URI to access.
.UNINDENT
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
Print   debug   information   such  as   reception   and
transmission of frames and name/value pairs.  Specifying
this option multiple times increases verbosity.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-n, \-\-null\-out
Discard downloaded data.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-O, \-\-remote\-name
Save  download  data  in  the  current  directory.   The
filename is  derived from  URI.  If  URI ends  with \(aq\fI/\fP\(aq,
\(aqindex.html\(aq  is used  as a  filename.  Not  implemented
yet.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-t, \-\-timeout=<DURATION>
Timeout each request after <DURATION>.  Set 0 to disable
timeout.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-w, \-\-window\-bits=<N>
Sets the stream level initial window size to 2**<N>\-1.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-W, \-\-connection\-window\-bits=<N>
Sets  the  connection  level   initial  window  size  to
2**<N>\-1.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-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.   nghttp prioritizes resources using
HTTP/2 dependency  based priority.  The  priority order,
from highest to lowest,  is html itself, css, javascript
and images.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-stat
Print statistics.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-H, \-\-header=<HEADER>
Add a header to the requests.  Example: \fI\%\-H\fP\(aq:method: PUT\(aq
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-trailer=<HEADER>
Add a trailer header to the requests.  <HEADER> must not
include pseudo header field  (header field name starting
with \(aq:\(aq).  To  send trailer, one must use  \fI\%\-d\fP option to
send request body.  Example: \fI\%\-\-trailer\fP \(aqfoo: bar\(aq.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-cert=<CERT>
Use  the specified  client certificate  file.  The  file
must be in PEM format.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-key=<KEY>
Use the  client private key  file.  The file must  be in
PEM format.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-data=<PATH>
Post FILE to server. If \(aq\-\(aq  is given, data will be read
from stdin.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-m, \-\-multiply=<N>
Request each URI <N> times.  By default, same URI is not
requested twice.  This option disables it too.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-u, \-\-upgrade
Perform HTTP Upgrade for HTTP/2.  This option is ignored
if the request URI has https scheme.  If \fI\%\-d\fP is used, the
HTTP upgrade request is performed with OPTIONS method.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-p, \-\-weight=<WEIGHT>
Sets priority group weight.  The valid value range is
[1, 256], inclusive.
.sp

remote endpoint as if it  is received in SETTINGS frame.
.sp
Default: \fB100\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-header\-table\-size=<SIZE>
Specify decoder  header table  size.  If this  option is
used  multiple times,  and the  minimum value  among the
given values except  for last one is  strictly less than
the last  value, that minimum  value is set  in SETTINGS
frame  payload  before  the   last  value,  to  simulate
multiple header table size change.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-b, \-\-padding=<N>
Add at  most <N>  bytes to a  frame payload  as padding.
Specify 0 to disable padding.

.sp
The <SIZE> argument is an integer and an optional unit (e.g., 10K is
10 * 1024).  Units are K, M and G (powers of 1024).
.sp
The <DURATION> argument is an integer and an optional unit (e.g., 1s
is 1 second and 500ms is 500 milliseconds).  Units are h, m, s or ms
(hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, respectively).  If a unit
is omitted, a second is used as unit.
.SH DEPENDENCY BASED PRIORITY
.sp
nghttp sends priority hints to server by default unless
\fI\%\-\-no\-dep\fP is used.  nghttp mimics the way Firefox employs to
manages dependency using idle streams.  We follows the behaviour of
Firefox Nightly as of April, 2015, and nghttp\(aqs behaviour is very
static and could be different from Firefox in detail.  But reproducing
the same behaviour of Firefox is not our goal.  The goal is provide
the easy way to test out the dependency priority in server
implementation.
.sp
When connection is established, nghttp sends 5 PRIORITY frames to idle
streams 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 to create "anchor" nodes in dependency
tree:

In the above figure, \fBid\fP means stream ID, and \fBw\fP means weight.
The stream 0 is non\-existence stream, and forms the root of the tree.
The stream 7 and 9 are not used for now.
.sp
The URIs given in the command\-line depend on stream 11 with the weight
given in \fI\%\-p\fP option, which defaults to 16.
.sp
If \fI\%\-a\fP option is used, nghttp parses the resource pointed by
URI given in command\-line as html, and extracts resource links from
it.  When requesting those resources, nghttp uses dependency according
to its resource type.
.sp
For CSS, and Javascript files inside "head" element, they depend on
stream 3 with the weight 2.  The Javascript files outside "head"
element depend on stream 5 with the weight 2.  The mages depend on
stream 11 with the weight 12.  The other resources (e.g., icon) depend
on stream 11 with the weight 2.
