API Reference

Includes

To use the public APIs, include spdylay/spdylay.h:

#include <spdylay/spdylay.h>

Remarks

Do not call spdylay_session_send(), spdylay_session_recv() or spdylay_session_mem_recv() from the spdylay callback functions directly or indirectly. It will lead to the crash. You can submit requests or frames in the callbacks then call spdylay_session_send(), spdylay_session_recv() or spdylay_session_mem_recv() outside of the callbacks.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_data_source_read_callback)(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, uint8_t *buf, size_t length, int *eof, spdylay_data_source *source, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when the library wants to read data from the source. The read data is sent in the stream stream_id. The implementation of this function must read at most length bytes of data from source (or possibly other places) and store them in buf and return number of data stored in buf. If EOF is reached, set *eof to 1. If the application wants to postpone DATA frames, (e.g., asynchronous I/O, or reading data blocks for long time), it is achieved by returning SPDYLAY_ERR_DEFERRED without reading any data in this invocation. The library removes DATA frame from the outgoing queue temporarily. To move back deferred DATA frame to outgoing queue, call spdylay_session_resume_data(). In case of error, there are 2 choices. Returning SPDYLAY_ERR_TEMPORAL_CALLBACK_FAILURE will close the stream by issuing RST_STREAM with SPDYLAY_INTERNAL_ERROR. Returning SPDYLAY_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE will signal the entire session failure.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_send_callback)(spdylay_session *session, const uint8_t *data, size_t length, int flags, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when session wants to send data to the remote peer. The implementation of this function must send at most length bytes of data stored in data. The flags is currently not used and always 0. It must return the number of bytes sent if it succeeds. If it cannot send any single byte without blocking, it must return SPDYLAY_ERR_WOULDBLOCK. For other errors, it must return SPDYLAY_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t *buf, size_t length, int flags, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when session wants to receive data from the remote peer. The implementation of this function must read at most length bytes of data and store it in buf. The flags is currently not used and always 0. It must return the number of bytes written in buf if it succeeds. If it cannot read any single byte without blocking, it must return SPDYLAY_ERR_WOULDBLOCK. If it gets EOF before it reads any single byte, it must return SPDYLAY_ERR_EOF. For other errors, it must return SPDYLAY_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_ctrl_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, spdylay_frame_type type, spdylay_frame *frame, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked by spdylay_session_recv() when a control frame is received.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_invalid_ctrl_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, spdylay_frame_type type, spdylay_frame *frame, uint32_t status_code, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked by spdylay_session_recv() when an invalid control frame is received. The status_code is one of the spdylay_status_code and indicates the error. When this callback function is invoked, the library automatically submits either RST_STREAM or GOAWAY frame.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_data_chunk_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const uint8_t *data, size_t len, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when a chunk of data in DATA frame is received. The stream_id is the stream ID this DATA frame belongs to. The flags is the flags of DATA frame which this data chunk is contained. (flags & SPDYLAY_DATA_FLAG_FIN) != 0 does not necessarily mean this chunk of data is the last one in the stream. You should use spdylay_on_data_recv_callback to know all data frames are received.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_data_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, int32_t length, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked before the control frame frame of type type is sent. This may be useful, for example, to know the stream ID of SYN_STREAM frame (see also spdylay_session_get_stream_user_data()), which is not assigned when it was queued.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_ctrl_send_callback)(spdylay_session *session, spdylay_frame_type type, spdylay_frame *frame, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked after the control frame frame of type type is sent.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_request_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when the request from the remote peer is received. In other words, the frame with FIN flag set is received. In HTTP, this means HTTP request, including request body, is fully received.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_ctrl_recv_parse_error_callback)(spdylay_session *session, spdylay_frame_type type, const uint8_t *head, size_t headlen, const uint8_t *payload, size_t payloadlen, int error_code, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when the received control frame octets could not be parsed correctly. The type indicates the type of received control frame. The head is the pointer to the header of the received frame. The headlen is the length of the head. According to the SPDY spec, the headlen is always 8. In other words, the head is the first 8 bytes of the received frame. The payload is the pointer to the data portion of the received frame. The payloadlen is the length of the payload. This is the data after the length field. The error_code is one of the error code defined in spdylay_error and indicates the error.

typedef void (*spdylay_on_unknown_ctrl_recv_callback)(spdylay_session *session, const uint8_t *head, size_t headlen, const uint8_t *payload, size_t payloadlen, void *user_data)

Callback function invoked when the received control frame type is unknown. The head is the pointer to the header of the received frame. The headlen is the length of the head. According to the SPDY spec, the headlen is always 8. In other words, the head is the first 8 bytes of the received frame. The payload is the pointer to the data portion of the received frame. The payloadlen is the length of the payload. This is the data after the length field.

spdylay_origin

The Web origin structure. The origin is the tuple (scheme, host, port). The details of this structure is intentionally hidden. To access these members, use accessor functions below.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_get_credential_proof)(spdylay_session *session, const spdylay_origin *origin, uint8_t *proof, size_t prooflen, void *user_data)

Warning

CREDENTIAL functionality was removed. This interface is preserved just for ABI compatibility. Don’t use this function. We guess no one use CREDENTIAL since it was a catastrophic failure.

Callback function invoked when the library needs the cryptographic proof that the client has possession of the private key associated with the certificate for the given origin. If called with prooflen == 0, the implementation of this function must return the length of the proof in bytes. If called with prooflen > 0, write proof into proof exactly prooflen bytes and return 0.

Because the client certificate vector has limited number of slots, the application code may be required to pass the same proof more than once.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_get_credential_ncerts)(spdylay_session *session, const spdylay_origin *origin, void *user_data)

Warning

CREDENTIAL functionality was removed. This interface is preserved just for ABI compatibility. Don’t use this function. We guess no one use CREDENTIAL since it was a catastrophic failure.

Callback function invoked when the library needs the length of the client certificate chain for the given origin. The implementation of this function must return the length of the client certificate chain. If no client certificate is required for the given origin, return 0. If positive integer is returned, spdylay_get_credential_proof and spdylay_get_credential_cert callback functions will be used to get the cryptographic proof and certificate respectively.

typedef ssize_t (*spdylay_get_credential_cert)(spdylay_session *session, const spdylay_origin *origin, size_t idx, uint8_t *cert, size_t certlen, void *user_data)

Warning

CREDENTIAL functionality was removed. This interface is preserved just for ABI compatibility. Don’t use this function. We guess no one use CREDENTIAL since it was a catastrophic failure.

Callback function invoked when the library needs the client certificate for the given origin. The idx is the index of the certificate chain and 0 means the leaf certificate of the chain. If called with certlen == 0, the implementation of this function must return the length of the certificate in bytes. If called with certlen > 0, write certificate into cert exactly certlen bytes and return 0.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
SPDYLAY_ERR_ZLIB
The z_stream initialization failed.
SPDYLAY_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION
The version is not supported.
int spdylay_session_server_new(spdylay_session **session_ptr, uint16_t version, const spdylay_session_callbacks *callbacks, void *user_data)

Initializes *session_ptr for server use, using the protocol version version. The all members of callbacks are copied to *session_ptr. Therefore *session_ptr does not store callbacks. user_data is an arbitrary user supplied data, which will be passed to the callback functions.

The spdylay_session_callbacks.send_callback must be specified. If the application code uses spdylay_session_recv(), the spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback must be specified. The other members of callbacks can be NULL.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
SPDYLAY_ERR_ZLIB
The z_stream initialization failed.
SPDYLAY_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION
The version is not supported.
void spdylay_session_del(spdylay_session *session)

Frees any resources allocated for session. If session is NULL, this function does nothing.

int spdylay_session_set_option(spdylay_session *session, int optname, void *optval, size_t optlen)

Sets the configuration option for the session. The optname is one of spdylay_opt. The optval is the pointer to the option value and the optlen is the size of *optval. The required type of optval varies depending on the optname. See below.

The following optname are supported:

SPDYLAY_OPT_NO_AUTO_WINDOW_UPDATE
The optval must be a pointer to int. If the *optval is nonzero, the library will not send WINDOW_UPDATE automatically. Therefore, the application is responsible for sending WINDOW_UPDATE using spdylay_submit_window_update(). This option defaults to 0. This option was deprecated and the newly written application should use SPDYLAY_OPT_NO_AUTO_WINDOW_UPDATE2.
SPDYLAY_OPT_MAX_RECV_CTRL_FRAME_BUFFER
The optval must be a pointer to uint32_t. The *optval must be in the range [(1 << 13), (1 << 24)-1], inclusive. This option defaults to (1 << 24)-1.
SPDYLAY_OPT_NO_AUTO_WINDOW_UPDATE2
The optval must be a pointer to int. If the *optval is nonzero, the library will not send WINDOW_UPDATE automatically. Therefore, the application is responsible to inform the library of consumed bytes using spdylay_session_consume(). This option defaults to 0.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The optname is not supported; or the optval and/or the optlen are invalid.
int spdylay_session_set_initial_client_cert_origin(spdylay_session *session, const char *scheme, const char *host, uint16_t port)

Warning

CREDENTIAL functionality was removed. This interface is preserved just for ABI compatibility. Don’t use this function. We guess no one use CREDENTIAL since it was a catastrophic failure. This function does nothing, and just always returns 0.

Sets the origin tuple (scheme, host and port) that the connection is made to and the client certificate is sent in the first TLS handshake. This function must be called before any call of spdylay_session_send() and spdylay_session_recv() and be called only once per session. This function must not be called if the session is initialized for server use. If the client did not provide the client certificate in the first TLS handshake, this function must not be called.

This function stores the given origin at the slot 1 in the client certificate vector.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory
SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_STATE
The session is initialized for server use; or the client certificate vector size is 0.
const spdylay_origin* spdylay_session_get_client_cert_origin(spdylay_session *session, size_t slot)

Warning

CREDENTIAL functionality was removed. This interface is preserved just for ABI compatibility. Don’t use this function. We guess no one use CREDENTIAL since it was a catastrophic failure. This function does nothing, and just always returns NULL.

Returns the origin at the index slot in the client certificate vector. If there is no origin at the given slot, this function returns NULL.

This function must not be called if the session is initialized for server use.

int spdylay_session_send(spdylay_session *session)

Sends pending frames to the remote peer.

This function retrieves the highest prioritized frame from the outbound queue and sends it to the remote peer. It does this as many as possible until the user callback spdylay_session_callbacks.send_callback returns SPDYLAY_ERR_WOULDBLOCK or the outbound queue becomes empty. This function calls several callback functions which are passed when initializing the session. Here is the simple time chart which tells when each callback is invoked:

  1. Get the next frame to send from outbound queue.
  2. Prepare transmission of the frame.
  3. If the control frame cannot be sent because some preconditions are not met (e.g., SYN_STREAM cannot be sent after GOAWAY), spdylay_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_not_send_callback is invoked. Abort the following steps.
  4. If the frame is SYN_STREAM, the stream is opened here.
  5. spdylay_session_callbacks.before_ctrl_send_callback is invoked.
  6. spdylay_session_callbacks.send_callback is invoked one or more times to send the frame.
  7. If the frame is a control frame, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_send_callback is invoked.
  8. If the frame is a DATA frame, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_data_send_callback is invoked.
  9. If the transmission of the frame triggers closure of the stream, the stream is closed and spdylay_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback is invoked.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
SPDYLAY_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE
The callback function failed.
int spdylay_session_recv(spdylay_session *session)

Receives frames from the remote peer.

This function receives as many frames as possible until the user callback spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback returns SPDYLAY_ERR_WOULDBLOCK. This function calls several callback functions which are passed when initializing the session. Here is the simple time chart which tells when each callback is invoked:

  1. spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback is invoked one or more times to receive frame header.
  2. If the frame is DATA frame:
    1. spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback is invoked to receive DATA payload. For each chunk of data, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_data_chunk_recv_callback is invoked.
    2. If one DATA frame is completely received, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_data_recv_callback is invoked. If the frame is the final frame of the request, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_request_recv_callback is invoked. If the reception of the frame triggers the closure of the stream, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback is invoked.
  3. If the frame is the control frame:
    1. spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback is invoked one or more times to receive whole frame.
    2. If the received frame is valid, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_recv_callback is invoked. If the frame is the final frame of the request, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_request_recv_callback is invoked. If the reception of the frame triggers the closure of the stream, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_stream_close_callback is invoked.
    3. If the received frame is unpacked but is interpreted as invalid, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_invalid_ctrl_recv_callback is invoked.
    4. If the received frame could not be unpacked correctly, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_ctrl_recv_parse_error_callback is invoked.
    5. If the received frame type is unknown, spdylay_session_callbacks.on_unknown_ctrl_recv_callback is invoked.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_EOF
The remote peer did shutdown on the connection.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
SPDYLAY_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE
The callback function failed.
ssize_t spdylay_session_mem_recv(spdylay_session *session, const uint8_t *in, size_t inlen)

Processes data in as an input from the remote endpoint. The inlen indicates the number of bytes in the in.

This function behaves like spdylay_session_recv() except that it does not use spdylay_session_callbacks.recv_callback to receive data; the in is the only data for the invocation of this function. If all bytes are processed, this function returns. The other callbacks are called in the same way as they are in spdylay_session_recv().

In the current implementation, this function always tries to processes all input data unless an error occurs.

This function returns the number of processed bytes, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_session_resume_data(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id)

Puts back previously deferred DATA frame in the stream stream_id to the outbound queue.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The stream does not exist or no deferred data exist.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_session_want_read(spdylay_session *session)

Returns nonzero value if session wants to receive data from the remote peer.

If both spdylay_session_want_read() and spdylay_session_want_write() return 0, the application should drop the connection.

int spdylay_session_want_write(spdylay_session *session)

Returns nonzero value if session wants to send data to the remote peer.

If both spdylay_session_want_read() and spdylay_session_want_write() return 0, the application should drop the connection.

void* spdylay_session_get_stream_user_data(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id)

Returns stream_user_data for the stream stream_id. The stream_user_data is provided by spdylay_submit_request() or spdylay_submit_syn_stream(). If the stream is initiated by the remote endpoint, stream_user_data is always NULL. If the stream is initiated by the local endpoint and NULL is given in spdylay_submit_request() or spdylay_submit_syn_stream(), then this function returns NULL. If the stream does not exist, this function returns NULL.

int spdylay_session_set_stream_user_data(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, void *stream_user_data)

Sets the stream_user_data to the stream denoted by the stream_id. If a stream user data is already set to the stream, it is replaced with the stream_user_data. It is valid to specify NULL in the stream_user_data, which nullifies the associated data pointer.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The stream does not exist
size_t spdylay_session_get_outbound_queue_size(spdylay_session *session)

Returns the number of frames in the outbound queue. This does not include the deferred DATA frames.

uint8_t spdylay_session_get_pri_lowest(spdylay_session *session)

Returns lowest priority value for the session.

int32_t spdylay_session_get_stream_recv_data_length(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id)

Returns the number of DATA payload in bytes received without WINDOW_UPDATE transmission for the stream stream_id.

If the flow control is disabled by the protocol, this function returns 0.

This function returns -1 if it fails.

int32_t spdylay_session_get_recv_data_length(spdylay_session *session)

Returns the number of DATA payload in bytes received without WINDOW_UPDATE transmission for a connection.

If flow control is disabled by the protocol, this function returns 0.

This function returns -1 if it fails.

int spdylay_session_fail_session(spdylay_session *session, uint32_t status_code)

Submits GOAWAY frame. The status code status_code is ignored if the protocol version is SPDYLAY_PROTO_SPDY2.

This function should be called when the connection should be terminated after sending GOAWAY. If the remaining streams should be processed after GOAWAY, use spdylay_submit_goaway() instead.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_session_consume(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, size_t size)

Tells the session that size bytes for a stream denoted by stream_id were consumed by application and are ready to WINDOW_UPDATE. This function is intended to be used without automatic window update (see SPDYLAY_OPT_NO_AUTO_WINDOW_UPDATE2).

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The stream_id is 0.
SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_STATE
SPDYLAY_OPT_NO_AUTO_WINDOW_UPDATE2 is not set.
const char* spdylay_strerror(int error_code)

Returns string describing the error_code. The error_code must be one of the spdylay_error.

int spdylay_submit_request(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t pri, const char **nv, const spdylay_data_provider *data_prd, void *stream_user_data)

Submits SYN_STREAM frame and optionally one or more DATA frames.

The pri is priority of this request. 0 is the highest priority value. Use spdylay_session_get_pri_lowest() to know the lowest priority value for this session. If the pri is larger than the lowest value, the lowest value is used silently.

The nv contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, nv[2*i] contains a pointer to the name string and nv[2*i+1] contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be NULL. That is, if the nv contains N name/value pairs, nv[2*N] must be NULL.

The nv must include following name/value pairs:

:method
HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST, HEAD, etc)
:scheme
URI scheme (e.g., https)
:path
Absolute path and parameters of this request (e.g., /foo, /foo;bar;haz?h=j&y=123)
:version
HTTP version (e.g., HTTP/1.1)
:host
The hostport portion of the URI for this request (e.g., example.org:443). This is the same as the HTTP “Host” header field.

If the session is initialized with the version SPDYLAY_PROTO_SPDY2, the above names are translated to method, scheme, url, version and host respectively.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in nv. It also lower-cases all names in nv.

If data_prd is not NULL, it provides data which will be sent in subsequent DATA frames. In this case, a method that allows request message bodies (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9) must be specified with :method key in nv (e.g. POST). This function does not take ownership of the data_prd. The function copies the members of the data_prd. If data_prd is NULL, SYN_STREAM have FLAG_FIN set. The stream_user_data is data associated to the stream opened by this request and can be an arbitrary pointer, which can be retrieved later by spdylay_session_get_stream_user_data().

Since the library reorders the frames and tries to send the highest prioritized one first and the SPDY specification requires the stream ID must be strictly increasing, the stream ID of this request cannot be known until it is about to sent. To know the stream ID of the request, the application can use spdylay_session_callbacks.before_ctrl_send_callback. This callback is called just before the frame is sent. For SYN_STREAM frame, the argument frame has the stream ID assigned. Also since the stream is already opened, spdylay_session_get_stream_user_data() can be used to get stream_user_data to identify which SYN_STREAM we are processing.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The nv includes empty name or NULL value.
SPDYLAY_ERR_STREAM_ID_NOT_AVAILABLE
Stream ID has reached the maximum value. Therefore no stream ID is available.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_response(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, const char **nv, const spdylay_data_provider *data_prd)

Submits SYN_REPLY frame and optionally one or more DATA frames against the stream stream_id.

The nv contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, nv[2*i] contains a pointer to the name string and nv[2*i+1] contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be NULL. That is, if the nv contains N name/value pairs, nv[2*N] must be NULL.

The nv must include following name/value pairs:

:status
HTTP status code (e.g., 200 or 200 OK)
:version
HTTP response version (e.g., HTTP/1.1)

If the session is initialized with the version SPDYLAY_PROTO_SPDY2, the above names are translated to status and version respectively.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in nv. It also lower-cases all names in nv.

If data_prd is not NULL, it provides data which will be sent in subsequent DATA frames. This function does not take ownership of the data_prd. The function copies the members of the data_prd. If data_prd is NULL, SYN_REPLY will have FLAG_FIN set.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The nv includes empty name or NULL value.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_syn_stream(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t assoc_stream_id, uint8_t pri, const char **nv, void *stream_user_data)

Submits SYN_STREAM frame. The flags is bitwise OR of the following values:

If flags includes SPDYLAY_CTRL_FLAG_FIN, this frame has FLAG_FIN flag set.

The assoc_stream_id is used for server-push. Specify 0 if this stream is not server-push. If session is initialized for client use, assoc_stream_id is ignored.

The pri is priority of this request. 0 is the highest priority value. Use spdylay_session_get_pri_lowest() to know the lowest priority value for this session. If the pri is larger than the lowest value, the lowest value is used silently.

The nv contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, nv[2*i] contains a pointer to the name string and nv[2*i+1] contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be NULL. That is, if the nv contains N name/value pairs, nv[2*N] must be NULL.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in nv. It also lower-cases all names in nv.

The stream_user_data is a pointer to an arbitrary data which is associated to the stream this frame will open.

This function is low-level in a sense that the application code can specify flags and the Associated-To-Stream-ID directly. For usual HTTP request, spdylay_submit_request() is useful.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The assoc_stream_id is invalid; or the nv includes empty name or NULL value.
SPDYLAY_ERR_STREAM_ID_NOT_AVAILABLE
Stream ID has reached the maximum value. Therefore no stream ID is available.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_syn_reply(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const char **nv)

Submits SYN_REPLY frame. The flags is bitwise OR of the following values:

If flags includes SPDYLAY_CTRL_FLAG_FIN, this frame has FLAG_FIN flag set.

The stream which this frame belongs to is given in the stream_id. The nv is the name/value pairs in this frame.

The nv contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, nv[2*i] contains a pointer to the name string and nv[2*i+1] contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be NULL. That is, if the nv contains N name/value pairs, nv[2*N] must be NULL.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in nv. It also lower-cases all names in nv.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The nv includes empty name or NULL value.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_headers(spdylay_session *session, uint8_t flags, int32_t stream_id, const char **nv)

Submits HEADERS frame. The flags is bitwise OR of the following values:

If flags includes SPDYLAY_CTRL_FLAG_FIN, this frame has FLAG_FIN flag set.

The stream which this frame belongs to is given in the stream_id. The nv is the name/value pairs in this frame.

The nv contains the name/value pairs. For i >= 0, nv[2*i] contains a pointer to the name string and nv[2*i+1] contains a pointer to the value string. The one beyond last value must be NULL. That is, if the nv contains N name/value pairs, nv[2*N] must be NULL.

This function creates copies of all name/value pairs in nv. It also lower-cases all names in nv.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

Submits RST_STREAM frame to cancel/reject the stream stream_id with the status code status_code.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_ping(spdylay_session *session)

Submits PING frame. You don’t have to send PING back when you received PING frame. The library automatically submits PING frame in this case.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_goaway(spdylay_session *session, uint32_t status_code)

Submits GOAWAY frame. The status code status_code is ignored if the protocol version is SPDYLAY_PROTO_SPDY2.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_submit_window_update(spdylay_session *session, int32_t stream_id, int32_t delta_window_size)

Submits WINDOW_UPDATE frame. The effective range of the delta_window_size is [1, (1 << 31)-1], inclusive. But the application must be responsible to keep the resulting window size <= (1 << 31)-1.

To send connection-level WINDOW_UPDATE, specify 0 to the stream_id if the negotiated protocol supports it.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The delta_window_size is 0 or negative.
SPDYLAY_ERR_STREAM_CLOSED
The stream is already closed or does not exist.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
int spdylay_select_next_protocol(unsigned char **out, unsigned char *outlen, const unsigned char *in, unsigned int inlen)

A helper function for dealing with NPN in client side. The in contains server’s protocol in preferable order. The format of in is length-prefixed and not null-terminated. For example, spdy/2 and http/1.1 stored in in like this:

in[0] = 6
in[1..6] = "spdy/2"
in[7] = 8
in[8..15] = "http/1.1"
inlen = 16

The selection algorithm is as follows:

  1. If server’s list contains SPDY versions the spdylay library supports, this function selects one of them and returns its SPDY protocol version which can be used directly with spdylay_session_client_new() and spdylay_session_server_new() . The following steps are not taken.
  2. If server’s list contains http/1.1, this function selects http/1.1 and returns 0. The following step is not taken.
  3. This function selects nothing and returns -1. (So called non-overlap case). In this case, out and outlen are left untouched.

When spdylay supports updated version of SPDY in the future, this function may select updated protocol and application code which relies on spdylay for SPDY stuff needs not be modified.

Selecting spdy/2 means that spdy/2 is written into *out and length of spdy/2 (which is 6) is assigned to *outlen.

See http://technotes.googlecode.com/git/nextprotoneg.html for more details about NPN.

To use this method you should do something like:

static int select_next_proto_cb(SSL* ssl,
                                unsigned char **out,
                                unsigned char *outlen,
                                const unsigned char *in,
                                unsigned int inlen,
                                void *arg)
{
    int version;
    version = spdylay_select_next_protocol(out, outlen, in, inlen);
    if(version == -1) {
        return SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK;
    }
    if(version > 0) {
        ((MyType*)arg)->spdy_version = version;
    }
    return SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK;
}
...
SSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb(ssl_ctx, select_next_proto_cb, my_obj);
const spdylay_npn_proto* spdylay_npn_get_proto_list(size_t *len_ptr)

Returns a pointer to the supported SPDY version list. The number of elements in the list will be assigned to the *len_ptr. It contains all SPDY version information this library supports. The application can use this information to configure NPN protocol offerings/selection.

uint16_t spdylay_npn_get_version(const unsigned char *proto, size_t protolen)

Returns spdy version which spdylay library supports from the given protocol name. The proto is the pointer to the protocol name and protolen is its length. Currently, spdy/2, spdy/3 and spdy/3.1 are supported.

This function returns nonzero spdy version if it succeeds, or 0.

int spdylay_gzip_inflate_new(spdylay_gzip **inflater_ptr)

A helper function to set up a per request gzip stream to inflate data.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_GZIP
The initialization of gzip stream failed.
SPDYLAY_ERR_NOMEM
Out of memory.
void spdylay_gzip_inflate_del(spdylay_gzip *inflater)

Frees the inflate stream. The inflater may be NULL.

int spdylay_gzip_inflate(spdylay_gzip *inflater, uint8_t *out, size_t *outlen_ptr, const uint8_t *in, size_t *inlen_ptr)

Inflates data in in with the length *inlen_ptr and stores the inflated data to out which has allocated size at least *outlen_ptr. On return, *outlen_ptr is updated to represent the number of data written in out. Similarly, *inlen_ptr is updated to represent the number of input bytes processed.

This function returns 0 if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

SPDYLAY_ERR_GZIP
The inflation of gzip stream failed.

The example follows:

void on_data_chunk_recv_callback(spdylay_session *session,
                                 uint8_t flags,
                                 int32_t stream_id,
                                 const uint8_t *data, size_t len,
                                 void *user_data)
{
    ...
    req = spdylay_session_get_stream_user_data(session, stream_id);
    spdylay_gzip *inflater = req->inflater;
    while(len > 0) {
        uint8_t out[MAX_OUTLEN];
        size_t outlen = MAX_OUTLEN;
        size_t tlen = len;
        int rv;
        rv = spdylay_gzip_inflate(inflater, out, &outlen, data, &tlen);
        if(rv != 0) {
            spdylay_submit_rst_stream(session, stream_id,
                                      SPDYLAY_INTERNAL_ERROR);
            break;
        }
        ... Do stuff ...
        data += tlen;
        len -= tlen;
    }
    ....
}
