H1_MF_XFER_LEN without H1_MF_CLEN nor H1_MF_CHNK. But it also does it
on requests, which is not appropriate since a request by default
doesn't have a message body unless explicitly mentioned. Also make
sure we only do this on HTTP/1.1 messages.
The problem is to guarantee the highest level of compatibility between
H1/H1, H1/H2, H2/H1 in each direction regarding the lack of content-
length. We have this truth table (a star '*' indicates which one can
pass trailers) :
For H1 client to H2 server, it will be possible to rely on the presence
of "TE: trailers" in the H1 request to automatically switch to chunks
in the response, and be able to pass trailers at the end. For now this
check is not implemented so an H2 response missing a content-length to
an H1 request will always have a transfer-encoding header added and
trailers will be forwarded if any.

BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: decode trailers in HEADERS frames
This is not exactly a bug but a long-time design limitation. We used not

synchronized. Now that the sequencing of operations permits it, we must
make sure to at least properly decode them.
What we try to do is to identify if a HEADERS frame was already seen and
use this indication to know if it's a headers or a trailers. For this,
h2c_decode_headers() checks if the stream indicates that a HEADERS frame
was already received. If so, it decodes it and emits the trailing
0 CRLF CRLF in case of H1, or the HTX_EOD + HTX_EOM blocks in case of HTX,
to terminate the data stream.

the connection remains synchronized and usable for subsequent streams.

by the stream-interface. So when this happens at the connection layer, the
update is only done if the stream's task is woken up. Otherwise, the stream
expiration date is not immediatly updated. This leads to unexpected
behaviours. Time to time, users reported that the wrong timeout was hitted or
the wrong termination state was reported. This is partly because of this
bug.
Recently, we observed some blocked sessions for a while when big objects are
served from the cache applet. It seems only concern the clients not reading the
response. Because delivered objects are big, not all data can be sent. And
because delivered objects are big, data are fast forwarded (from the input to
the output with no stream wakeup). So in such situation, the stream expiration
date is never updated and no timeout is hitted. The session remains blocked
while the client remains connected.

MINOR: mux-h2: fail stream creation more cleanly using RST_STREAM
The H2 demux only checks for too many streams in h2c_frt_stream_new(),
then refuses to create a new stream and causes the connection to be
aborted by sending a GOAWAY frame. This will also happen if any error
happens during the stream creation (e.g. memory allocation).
RFC7540#5.1.2 says that attempts to create streams in excess should
instead be dealt with using an RST_STREAM frame conveying either the
PROTOCOL_ERROR or REFUSED_STREAM reason (the latter being usable only
if it is guaranteed that the stream was not processed). In theory it
should not happen for well behaving clients, though it may if we
configure a low enough h2.max_concurrent_streams limit. This error
however may definitely happen on memory shortage.
Previously it was not possible to use RST_STREAM due to the fact that
the HPACK decompressor would be desynchronized. But now we first decode
and only then try to allocate the stream, so the decompressor remains
synchronized regardless of policy or resources issues.
With this patch we enforce stream termination with RST_STREAM and
REFUSED_STREAM if this protocol violation happens, as well as if there
is a temporary condition like a memory allocation issue. It will allow

This patch introduces a new dummy stream, h2_refused_stream, in CLOSED
status with the aforementioned error code. It will be usable to reject
unexpected extraneous streams.

MINOR: mux-h2: make h2c_send_rst_stream() use the dummy stream's error code
We currently have 2 dummy streams allowing us to send an RST_STREAM
message with an error code matching this one. However h2c_send_rst_stream()
still enforces the STREAM_CLOSED error code for these dummy streams,
ignoring their respective errcode fields which however are properly
set.
Let's make the function always use the stream's error code. This will
allow to create other dummy streams for different codes.

MEDIUM: mux-h2: decode HEADERS frames before allocating the stream
It's hard to recover from a HEADERS frame decoding error after having
already created the stream, and it's not possible to recover from a
stream allocation error without dropping the connection since we can't
maintain the HPACK context, so let's decode it before allocating the
stream, into a temporary buffer that will then be offered to the newly
created stream.

MEDIUM: mux-h2: remove padlen during headers phase
Three types of frames may be padded : DATA, HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE.
Currently, each of these independently deals with padding and needs to
wait for and skip the initial padlen byte. Not only this complicates
frame processing, but it makes it very hard to process CONTINUATION
frames after a padded HEADERS frame, and makes it complicated to perform
atomic calls to h2s_decode_headers(), which are needed if we want to be
able to maintain the HPACK decompressor's context even when dropping
streams.
This patch takes a different approach : the padding is checked when
parsing the frame header, the padlen byte is waited for and parsed,
and the dpl value is updated with this padlen value. This will allow
the frame parsers to decide to overwrite the padding if needed when
merging adjacent frames.

BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: mark that we have too many CS once we have more than the max
Since commit f210191 ("BUG/MEDIUM: h2: don't accept new streams if
conn_streams are still in excess") we're refraining from reading input
frames if we've reached the limit of number of CS. The problem is that
it prevents such situations from working fine. The initial purpose was
in fact to prevent from reading new HEADERS frames when this happens,
and causes some occasional transfer hiccups and pauses with large
concurrencies.
Given that we now properly reject extraneous streams before checking
this value, we can be sure never to have too many streams, and that
any higher value is only caused by a scheduling reason and will go
down after the scheduler calls the code.
This fix must be backported to 1.9 and possibly to 1.8. It may be
tested using h2spec this way with an h2spec config :
while :; do
h2spec -o 5 -v -t -S -k -h 127.0.0.1 -p 4443 http2/5.1.2

REGTESTS: remove the expected window updates from H2 handshakes
These ones are not needed anymore since commit 97aaa67 ("MINOR: mux-h2:
only increase the connection window with the first update"). The tests
should now be more reliable. It might be worth simply removing all the
explicit handshake though it doesn't hurt and still serves as documentation.

MINOR: mux-h2: only increase the connection window with the first update
Commit dc57236 ("BUG/MINOR: mux-h2: advertise a larger connection window
size") caused a WINDOW_UPDATE message to be sent early with the connection
to increase the connection's window size. It turns out that it causes some
minor trouble that need to be worked around :
- varnishtest cannot transparently cope with the WU frames during the
handshake, forcing all tests to explicitly declare the handshake
sequence ;
- some vtc scripts randomly fail if the WU frame is sent after another
expected response frame, adding uncertainty to some tests ;
- h2spec doesn't correctly identify these WU at the connection level
that it believes are the responses to some purposely erroneous frames
it sends, resulting in some errors being reported
None of these are a problem with real clients but they add some confusion
during troubleshooting.
Since the fix above was intended to increase the upload bandwidth, we
have another option which is to increase the window size with the first
WU frame sent for the connection. This way, no WU frame is sent until
one is really needed, and this first frame will adjust the window to
the maximum value. It will make the window increase slightly later, so
the client will experience the first round trip when uploading data,
but this should not be perceptible, and is not worth the extra hassle
needed to maintain our debugging abilities. As an extra bonus, a few
extra bytes are saved for each connection until the first attempt to
upload data.
This should possibly be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.

BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: don't needlessly wake up the demux on short frames
In some situations, if too short a frame header is received, we may leave
h2_process_demux() waking up the task again without checking that we were
already subscribed.
In order to avoid this once for all, let's introduce an h2_restart_reading()
function which performs the control and calls the task up. This way we won't
needlessly wake the task up if it's already waiting for I/O.
REGTEST: script: Add support of alternatives in requited options list
It is now possible to specify a list of "alternatives" for a required
option. This must be done by separating options by a pipe ('|'). A test will be
executed if at least one of them is available. For instance:
#REQUIRED_OPTIONS=ZLIB|SLZ,LUA,OPENSSL
The function _findtest() has also been sligthly simplified.
BUG/MINOR: compression/htx: Don't add the last block of data if it is empty

context and add the last block of compressed data. But, this block can be

to be woken up for writing, unless the mux was too full to get more data.
If there's an unsubscribe call in the meanwhile, we should leave the list,
or we may be put back in the send_list.
REGTEST: script: Add the option --use-htx to enable the HTX in regtests
A check is done on HAProxy version to be sure it is supported. Internally, by
default, the macro 'no-htx' is set to "#". So in regtests, we can prefix
http-use-htx option line with this macro to inhibit the HTX. Concretly, this
line can be added in the HAProxy configuration:
${no-htx} option http-use-htx
When the option --use-htx is used, the macro 'no-htx' is unset.
REGTEST: script: Add the option --keep-logs to keep all log directories
By default a log directory is kept only if the test fails. With this option it
is possible to always keep it. If this option is used, the result of all tests
are displayed (and not only the failing ones).
REGTEST: script: Add the option --clean to remove previous log direcotries
Running regtests several times leaves many direcotries. It is painful to remove
them by hand. This command do it for you. It ask a confirmation to proceed to be
sure. The template used to create log direcotries has been changed. The prefix
'haregtests-' has been added to help the cleanup function to find existing log
direcotries.
REGTEST: script: Evaluate the varnishtest command to allow quoted parameters
Instead of directly executing varnishtest command, we use a variable to build
the command line and we execute it with the 'eval' builtin. This way it is
possible to have quoted parameters. For instance:
And the variable 'varnishtestparams' is also move at the end of the command
line, just before the list of test files. So it is possible to override all
default varnish options set by the script.
REGTEST: script: Process script arguments before everything else
The help message is now in the function _help(). It exits the script with the
status 0 to not run regtests when the help is displayed. So it is also handy to
process script arguments before anything else. This avoids to start printing
messages related to regtests execution when it is not appropriate. Another
change, when it detects an invalid argument, the script exits with an error.
