2019-09-05Fix and optimize sending of WINDOW_UPDATE framesLoïc Hoguin
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.

2018-11-18Document cowboy_stream_h/cowboy_compress_hLoïc Hoguin
2018-11-18Add the chunked option for HTTP/1.1Loïc Hoguin
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.

2018-11-14Document using undefined as content_types_provided callbackLoïc Hoguin
This is a convention that indicates the callback will never be called, for example because the methods HEAD or GET are not accepted.

2018-11-12Add deflate options for Websocket compressionLoïc Hoguin
They allow the server to configure what it is willing to accept for both the negotiated configuration (takeover and window bits) and the other zlib options (level, mem_level and strategy). This can be used to reduce the memory and/or CPU footprint of the compressed data, which comes with a cost in compression ratio.
2018-11-09Add sendfile support to cowboy_req:stream_bodyLoïc Hoguin
It is now possible to stream one or more sendfile tuples. A simple example of what can now be done would be for example to build a tar file on the fly using the sendfile syscall for sending the files, or to support Range requests with more than one range with the sendfile syscall. When using cowboy_compress_h unfortunately we have to read the file in order to send it. More options will be added at a later time to make sure users don't read too much into memory. This is a new feature however so existing code is not affected. Also rework cowboy_http's data sending to be flatter.

Fix cases where the q-value is 0 and where a wildcard was sent in the accept-charset header. Also don't send a charset in the content-type of the response if the media type is not text. Thanks to Philip Witty for help figuring this out.
