DESCRIPTION

Protocol::HTTP2::Server is HTTP/2 server library. It's intended to make http2-server implementations on top of your favorite event loop.

See also Shuvgey - AnyEvent HTTP/2 Server for PSGI based on Protocol::HTTP2::Server.

METHODS

new

Initialize new server object

my $server = Protocol::HTTP2::Client->new( %options );

Available options:

on_request => sub {...}

Callback invoked when receiving client's requests

on_request => sub {
    # Stream ID, headers array reference and body of request
    my ( $stream_id, $headers, $data ) = @_;

    my $message = "hello, world!";
    $server->response(
        ':status' => 200,
        stream_id => $stream_id,
        headers   => [
            'server'         => 'perl-Protocol-HTTP2/0.13',
            'content-length' => length($message),
        ],
        data => $message,
    );
    ...
},
upgrade => 0|1

Use HTTP/1.1 Upgrade to upgrade protocol from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2. Upgrade possible only on plain (non-tls) connection.

See Starting HTTP/2 for "http" URIs

on_error => sub {...}

Callback invoked on protocol errors

on_error => sub {
    my $error = shift;
    ...
},
on_change_state => sub {...}

Callback invoked every time when http/2 streams change their state. See Stream States

on_change_state => sub {
    my ( $stream_id, $previous_state, $current_state ) = @_;
    ...
},

response

Prepare response

my $message = "hello, world!";
$server->response(

    # HTTP/2 status
    ':status' => 200,

    # Stream ID
    stream_id => $stream_id,

    # HTTP/1.1 headers
    headers   => [
        'server'         => 'perl-Protocol-HTTP2/0.01',
        'content-length' => length($message),
    ],

    # Body of response
    data => $message,
);

response_stream

If body of response is not yet ready or server will stream data

# P::H::Server::Stream object
my $server_stream;
$server_stream = $server->response_stream(

    # HTTP/2 status
    ':status' => 200,

    # Stream ID
    stream_id => $stream_id,

    # HTTP/1.1 headers
    headers   => [
        'server'         => 'perl-Protocol-HTTP2/0.01',
    ],

    # Callback if client abort this stream
    on_cancel => sub {
        ...
    }
);

# Send partial data
$server_stream->send($chunk_of_data);
$server_stream->send($chunk_of_data);

## 3 ways to finish stream:
#
# The best: send last chunk and close stream in one action
$server_stream->last($chunk_of_data);

# Close the stream (will send empty frame)
$server_stream->close();

# Destroy object (will send empty frame)
undef $server_stream

push

Prepare Push Promise. See Server Push

# Example of push inside of on_request callback
on_request => sub {
    my ( $stream_id, $headers, $data ) = @_;
    my %h = (@$headers);

    # Push promise (must be before response)
    if ( $h{':path'} eq '/index.html' ) {

        # index.html contain styles.css resource, so server can push
        # "/style.css" to client before it request it to increase speed
        # of loading of whole page
        $server->push(
            ':authority' => 'localhost:8000',
            ':method'    => 'GET',
            ':path'      => '/style.css',
            ':scheme'    => 'http',
            stream_id    => $stream_id,
        );
    }

    $server->response(...);
    ...
}

shutdown

Get connection status:

0 - active
1 - closed (you can terminate connection)

next_frame

get next frame to send over connection to client. Returns:

undef - on error
0 - nothing to send
binary string - encoded frame
# Example
while ( my $frame = $server->next_frame ) {
    syswrite $fh, $frame;
}

feed

Feed decoder with chunks of client's request

sysread $fh, $binary_data, 4096;
$server->feed($binary_data);

ping

Send ping frame to client (to keep connection alive)

$server->ping

or

$server->ping($payload);

Payload can be arbitrary binary string and must contain 8 octets. If payload argument is omitted server will send random data.
