+nghttp2 - HTTP/2 C Library
+==========================
+
+This is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2
+in C.
+
+The framing layer of HTTP/2 is implemented as a reusable C library.
+On top of that, we have implemented an HTTP/2 client, server and
+proxy. We have also developed load test and benchmarking tools for
+HTTP/2.
+
+An HPACK encoder and decoder are available as a public API.
+
+Development Status
+------------------
+
+nghttp2 was originally developed based on `RFC 7540
+<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540>`_ HTTP/2 and `RFC 7541
+<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7541>`_ HPACK - Header Compression for
+HTTP/2. Now we are updating our code to implement `RFC 9113
+<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9113>`_.
+
+The nghttp2 code base was forked from the spdylay
+(https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/spdylay) project.
+
+Public Test Server
+------------------
+
+The following endpoints are available to try out our nghttp2
+implementation.
+
+* https://nghttp2.org/ (TLS + ALPN/NPN and HTTP/3)
+
+ This endpoint supports ``h2``, ``h2-16``, ``h2-14``, and
+ ``http/1.1`` via ALPN/NPN and requires TLSv1.2 for HTTP/2
+ connection.
+
+ It also supports HTTP/3.
+
+* http://nghttp2.org/ (HTTP Upgrade and HTTP/2 Direct)
+
+ ``h2c`` and ``http/1.1``.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The following package is required to build the libnghttp2 library:
+
+* pkg-config >= 0.20
+
+To build and run the unit test programs, the following package is
+required:
+
+* cunit >= 2.1
+
+To build the documentation, you need to install:
+
+* sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
+
+If you need libnghttp2 (C library) only, then the above packages are
+all you need. Use ``--enable-lib-only`` to ensure that only
+libnghttp2 is built. This avoids potential build error related to
+building bundled applications.
+
+To build and run the application programs (``nghttp``, ``nghttpd``,
+``nghttpx`` and ``h2load``) in the ``src`` directory, the following packages
+are required:
+
+* OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
+* libev >= 4.11
+* zlib >= 1.2.3
+* libc-ares >= 1.7.5
+
+ALPN support requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.2 (released 22 January 2015).
+LibreSSL >= 2.2.0 can be used instead of OpenSSL, but OpenSSL has more
+features than LibreSSL at the time of this writing.
+
+To enable ``-a`` option (getting linked assets from the downloaded
+resource) in ``nghttp``, the following package is required:
+
+* libxml2 >= 2.6.26
+
+To enable systemd support in nghttpx, the following package is
+required:
+
+* libsystemd-dev >= 209
+
+The HPACK tools require the following package:
+
+* jansson >= 2.5
+
+To build sources under the examples directory, libevent is required:
+
+* libevent-openssl >= 2.0.8
+
+To mitigate heap fragmentation in long running server programs
+(``nghttpd`` and ``nghttpx``), jemalloc is recommended:
+
+* jemalloc
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Alpine Linux currently does not support malloc replacement
+ due to musl limitations. See details in issue `#762 <https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/issues/762>`_.
+
+To enable mruby support for nghttpx, `mruby
+<https://github.com/mruby/mruby>`_ is required. We need to build
+mruby with C++ ABI explicitly turned on, and probably need other
+mrgems, mruby is manged by git submodule under third-party/mruby
+directory. Currently, mruby support for nghttpx is disabled by
+default. To enable mruby support, use ``--with-mruby`` configure
+option. Note that at the time of this writing, libmruby-dev and mruby
+packages in Debian/Ubuntu are not usable for nghttp2, since they do
+not enable C++ ABI. To build mruby, the following packages are
+required:
+
+* ruby
+* bison
+
+nghttpx supports `neverbleed <https://github.com/h2o/neverbleed>`_,
+privilege separation engine for OpenSSL / LibreSSL. In short, it
+minimizes the risk of private key leakage when serious bug like
+Heartbleed is exploited. The neverbleed is disabled by default. To
+enable it, use ``--with-neverbleed`` configure option.
+
+To enable the experimental HTTP/3 support for h2load and nghttpx, the
+following libraries are required:
+
+* `OpenSSL with QUIC support
+ <https://github.com/quictls/openssl/tree/OpenSSL_1_1_1t+quic>`_; or
+ `BoringSSL <https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/>`_ (commit
+ 80a243e07ef77156af66efa7d22ac35aba44c1b3)
+* `ngtcp2 <https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2>`_ >= 0.13.0
+* `nghttp3 <https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3>`_ >= 0.7.0
+
+Use ``--enable-http3`` configure option to enable HTTP/3 feature for
+h2load and nghttpx.
+
+In order to build optional eBPF program to direct an incoming QUIC UDP
+datagram to a correct socket for nghttpx, the following libraries are
+required:
+
+* libbpf-dev >= 0.7.0
+
+Use ``--with-libbpf`` configure option to build eBPF program.
+libelf-dev is needed to build libbpf.
+
+For Ubuntu 20.04, you can build libbpf from `the source code
+<https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/releases/tag/v1.1.0>`_. nghttpx
+requires eBPF program for reloading its configuration and hot swapping
+its executable.
+
+Compiling libnghttp2 C source code requires a C99 compiler. gcc 4.8
+is known to be adequate. In order to compile the C++ source code, gcc
+>= 6.0 or clang >= 6.0 is required. C++ source code requires C++14
+language features.
+
+.. note::
+
+ To enable mruby support in nghttpx, and use ``--with-mruby``
+ configure option.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Mac OS X users may need the ``--disable-threads`` configure option to
+ disable multi-threading in nghttpd, nghttpx and h2load to prevent
+ them from crashing. A patch is welcome to make multi threading work
+ on Mac OS X platform.
+
+.. note::
+
+ To compile the associated applications (nghttp, nghttpd, nghttpx
+ and h2load), you must use the ``--enable-app`` configure option and
+ ensure that the specified requirements above are met. Normally,
+ configure script checks required dependencies to build these
+ applications, and enable ``--enable-app`` automatically, so you
+ don't have to use it explicitly. But if you found that
+ applications were not built, then using ``--enable-app`` may find
+ that cause, such as the missing dependency.
+
+.. note::
+
+ In order to detect third party libraries, pkg-config is used
+ (however we don't use pkg-config for some libraries (e.g., libev)).
+ By default, pkg-config searches ``*.pc`` file in the standard
+ locations (e.g., /usr/lib/pkgconfig). If it is necessary to use
+ ``*.pc`` file in the custom location, specify paths to
+ ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH`` environment variable, and pass it to configure
+ script, like so:
+
+ .. code-block:: text
+
+ $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/pkgconfig
+
+ For pkg-config managed libraries, ``*_CFLAG`` and ``*_LIBS``
+ environment variables are defined (e.g., ``OPENSSL_CFLAGS``,
+ ``OPENSSL_LIBS``). Specifying non-empty string to these variables
+ completely overrides pkg-config. In other words, if they are
+ specified, pkg-config is not used for detection, and user is
+ responsible to specify the correct values to these variables. For
+ complete list of these variables, run ``./configure -h``.
+
+If you are using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, run the following to install the
+required packages:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ sudo apt-get install g++ clang make binutils autoconf automake \
+ autotools-dev libtool pkg-config \
+ zlib1g-dev libcunit1-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libev-dev \
+ libevent-dev libjansson-dev \
+ libc-ares-dev libjemalloc-dev libsystemd-dev \
+ ruby-dev bison libelf-dev
+
+Building nghttp2 from release tar archive
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The nghttp2 project regularly releases tar archives which includes
+nghttp2 source code, and generated build files. They can be
+downloaded from `Releases
+<https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/releases>`_ page.
+
+Building nghttp2 from git requires autotools development packages.
+Building from tar archives does not require them, and thus it is much
+easier. The usual build step is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ tar xf nghttp2-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
+ $ cd nghttp2-X.Y.Z
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+
+Building from git
+-----------------
+
+Building from git is easy, but please be sure that at least autoconf 2.68 is
+used:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git submodule update --init
+ $ autoreconf -i
+ $ automake
+ $ autoconf
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+
+Notes for building on Windows (MSVC)
+------------------------------------
+
+The easiest way to build native Windows nghttp2 dll is use `cmake
+<https://cmake.org/>`_. The free version of `Visual C++ Build Tools
+<http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools>`_ works
+fine.
+
+1. Install cmake for windows
+2. Open "Visual C++ ... Native Build Tool Command Prompt", and inside
+ nghttp2 directly, run ``cmake``.
+3. Then run ``cmake --build`` to build library.
+4. nghttp2.dll, nghttp2.lib, nghttp2.exp are placed under lib directory.
+
+Note that the above steps most likely produce nghttp2 library only.
+No bundled applications are compiled.
+
+Notes for building on Windows (Mingw/Cygwin)
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Under Mingw environment, you can only compile the library, it's
+``libnghttp2-X.dll`` and ``libnghttp2.a``.
+
+If you want to compile the applications(``h2load``, ``nghttp``,
+``nghttpx``, ``nghttpd``), you need to use the Cygwin environment.
+
+Under Cygwin environment, to compile the applications you need to
+compile and install the libev first.
+
+Secondly, you need to undefine the macro ``__STRICT_ANSI__``, if you
+not, the functions ``fdopen``, ``fileno`` and ``strptime`` will not
+available.
+
+the sample command like this:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ export CFLAGS="-U__STRICT_ANSI__ -I$libev_PREFIX/include -L$libev_PREFIX/lib"
+ $ export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+
+If you want to compile the applications under ``examples/``, you need
+to remove or rename the ``event.h`` from libev's installation, because
+it conflicts with libevent's installation.
+
+Notes for installation on Linux systems
+--------------------------------------------
+After installing nghttp2 tool suite with ``make install`` one might experience a similar error:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ nghttpx: error while loading shared libraries: libnghttp2.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+
+This means that the tool is unable to locate the ``libnghttp2.so`` shared library.
+
+To update the shared library cache run ``sudo ldconfig``.
+
+Building the documentation
+--------------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+ Documentation is still incomplete.
+
+To build the documentation, run:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ make html
+
+The documents will be generated under ``doc/manual/html/``.
+
+The generated documents will not be installed with ``make install``.
+
+The online documentation is available at
+https://nghttp2.org/documentation/
+
+Build HTTP/3 enabled h2load and nghttpx
+---------------------------------------
+
+To build h2load and nghttpx with HTTP/3 feature enabled, run the
+configure script with ``--enable-http3``.
+
+For nghttpx to reload configurations and swapping its executable while
+gracefully terminating old worker processes, eBPF is required. Run
+the configure script with ``--enable-http3 --with-libbpf`` to build
+eBPF program. The QUIC keying material must be set with
+``--frontend-quic-secret-file`` in order to keep the existing
+connections alive during reload.
+
+The detailed steps to build HTTP/3 enabled h2load and nghttpx follow.
+
+Build custom OpenSSL:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git clone --depth 1 -b OpenSSL_1_1_1t+quic https://github.com/quictls/openssl
+ $ cd openssl
+ $ ./config --prefix=$PWD/build --openssldir=/etc/ssl
+ $ make -j$(nproc)
+ $ make install_sw
+ $ cd ..
+
+Build nghttp3:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git clone --depth 1 -b v0.8.0 https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
+ $ cd nghttp3
+ $ autoreconf -i
+ $ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/build --enable-lib-only
+ $ make -j$(nproc)
+ $ make install
+ $ cd ..
+
+Build ngtcp2:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git clone --depth 1 -b v0.13.1 https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
+ $ cd ngtcp2
+ $ autoreconf -i
+ $ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/build --enable-lib-only \
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/../openssl/build/lib/pkgconfig"
+ $ make -j$(nproc)
+ $ make install
+ $ cd ..
+
+If your Linux distribution does not have libbpf-dev >= 0.7.0, build
+from source:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git clone --depth 1 -b v1.1.0 https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf
+ $ cd libbpf
+ $ PREFIX=$PWD/build make -C src install
+ $ cd ..
+
+Build nghttp2:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2
+ $ cd nghttp2
+ $ git submodule update --init
+ $ autoreconf -i
+ $ ./configure --with-mruby --with-neverbleed --enable-http3 --with-libbpf \
+ CC=clang-14 CXX=clang++-14 \
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/../openssl/build/lib/pkgconfig:$PWD/../nghttp3/build/lib/pkgconfig:$PWD/../ngtcp2/build/lib/pkgconfig:$PWD/../libbpf/build/lib64/pkgconfig" \
+ LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,-rpath,$PWD/../openssl/build/lib -Wl,-rpath,$PWD/../libbpf/build/lib64"
+ $ make -j$(nproc)
+
+The eBPF program ``reuseport_kern.o`` should be found under bpf
+directory. Pass ``--quic-bpf-program-file=bpf/reuseport_kern.o``
+option to nghttpx to load it. See also `HTTP/3 section in nghttpx -
+HTTP/2 proxy - HOW-TO
+<https://nghttp2.org/documentation/nghttpx-howto.html#http-3>`_.
+
+Unit tests
+----------
+
+Unit tests are done by simply running ``make check``.
+
+Integration tests
+-----------------
+
+We have the integration tests for the nghttpx proxy server. The tests are
+written in the `Go programming language <http://golang.org/>`_ and uses
+its testing framework. We depend on the following libraries:
+
+* golang.org/x/net/http2
+* golang.org/x/net/websocket
+* https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/go-nghttp2
+
+Go modules will download these dependencies automatically.
+
+To run the tests, run the following command under
+``integration-tests`` directory:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ make it
+
+Inside the tests, we use port 3009 to run the test subject server.
+
+Migration from v0.7.15 or earlier
+---------------------------------
+
+nghttp2 v1.0.0 introduced several backward incompatible changes. In
+this section, we describe these changes and how to migrate to v1.0.0.
+
+ALPN protocol ID is now ``h2`` and ``h2c``
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Previously we announced ``h2-14`` and ``h2c-14``. v1.0.0 implements
+final protocol version, and we changed ALPN ID to ``h2`` and ``h2c``.
+The macros ``NGHTTP2_PROTO_VERSION_ID``,
+``NGHTTP2_PROTO_VERSION_ID_LEN``,
+``NGHTTP2_CLEARTEXT_PROTO_VERSION_ID``, and
+``NGHTTP2_CLEARTEXT_PROTO_VERSION_ID_LEN`` have been updated to
+reflect this change.
+
+Basically, existing applications do not have to do anything, just
+recompiling is enough for this change.
+
+Use word "client magic" where we use "client connection preface"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+We use "client connection preface" to mean first 24 bytes of client
+connection preface. This is technically not correct, since client
+connection preface is composed of 24 bytes client magic byte string
+followed by SETTINGS frame. For clarification, we call "client magic"
+for this 24 bytes byte string and updated API.
+
+* ``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_PREFACE`` was replaced with
+ ``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_MAGIC``.
+* ``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_PREFACE_LEN`` was replaced with
+ ``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_MAGIC_LEN``.
+* ``NGHTTP2_BAD_PREFACE`` was renamed as ``NGHTTP2_BAD_CLIENT_MAGIC``
+
+The already deprecated ``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_HEADER`` and
+``NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_HEADER_LEN`` were removed.
+
+If application uses these macros, just replace old ones with new ones.
+Since v1.0.0, client magic is sent by library (see next subsection),
+so client application may just remove these macro use.
+
+Client magic is sent by library
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Previously nghttp2 library did not send client magic, which is first
+24 bytes byte string of client connection preface, and client
+applications have to send it by themselves. Since v1.0.0, client
+magic is sent by library via first call of ``nghttp2_session_send()``
+or ``nghttp2_session_mem_send()``.
+
+The client applications which send client magic must remove the
+relevant code.
+
+Remove HTTP Alternative Services (Alt-Svc) related code
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Alt-Svc specification is not finalized yet. To make our API stable,
+we have decided to remove all Alt-Svc related API from nghttp2.
+
+* ``NGHTTP2_EXT_ALTSVC`` was removed.
+* ``nghttp2_ext_altsvc`` was removed.
+
+We have already removed the functionality of Alt-Svc in v0.7 series
+and they have been essentially noop. The application using these
+macro and struct, remove those lines.
+
+Use nghttp2_error in nghttp2_on_invalid_frame_recv_callback
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Previously ``nghttp2_on_invalid_frame_recv_cb_called`` took the
+``error_code``, defined in ``nghttp2_error_code``, as parameter. But
+they are not detailed enough to debug. Therefore, we decided to use
+more detailed ``nghttp2_error`` values instead.
+
+The application using this callback should update the callback
+signature. If it treats ``error_code`` as HTTP/2 error code, update
+the code so that it is treated as ``nghttp2_error``.
+
+Receive client magic by default
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Previously nghttp2 did not process client magic (24 bytes byte
+string). To make it deal with it, we had to use
+``nghttp2_option_set_recv_client_preface()``. Since v1.0.0, nghttp2
+processes client magic by default and
+``nghttp2_option_set_recv_client_preface()`` was removed.
+
+Some application may want to disable this behaviour, so we added
+``nghttp2_option_set_no_recv_client_magic()`` to achieve this.
+
+The application using ``nghttp2_option_set_recv_client_preface()``
+with nonzero value, just remove it.
+
+The application using ``nghttp2_option_set_recv_client_preface()``
+with zero value or not using it must use
+``nghttp2_option_set_no_recv_client_magic()`` with nonzero value.
+
+Client, Server and Proxy programs
+---------------------------------
+
+The ``src`` directory contains the HTTP/2 client, server and proxy programs.
+
+nghttp - client
++++++++++++++++
+
+``nghttp`` is a HTTP/2 client. It can connect to the HTTP/2 server
+with prior knowledge, HTTP Upgrade and NPN/ALPN TLS extension.
+
+It has verbose output mode for framing information. Here is sample
+output from ``nghttp`` client:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+

+nghttpd - server
+++++++++++++++++
+
+``nghttpd`` is a multi-threaded static web server.
+
+By default, it uses SSL/TLS connection. Use ``--no-tls`` option to
+disable it.
+
+``nghttpd`` only accepts HTTP/2 connections via NPN/ALPN or direct
+HTTP/2 connections. No HTTP Upgrade is supported.
+
+The ``-p`` option allows users to configure server push.
+
+Just like ``nghttp``, it has a verbose output mode for framing
+information. Here is sample output from ``nghttpd``:

+nghttpx - proxy
++++++++++++++++
+
+``nghttpx`` is a multi-threaded reverse proxy for HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and
+HTTP/1.1, and powers http://nghttp2.org and supports HTTP/2 server
+push.
+
+We reworked ``nghttpx`` command-line interface, and as a result, there
+are several incompatibles from 1.8.0 or earlier. This is necessary to
+extend its capability, and secure the further feature enhancements in
+the future release. Please read `Migration from nghttpx v1.8.0 or
+earlier
+<https://nghttp2.org/documentation/nghttpx-howto.html#migration-from-nghttpx-v1-8-0-or-earlier>`_
+to know how to migrate from earlier releases.
+
+``nghttpx`` implements `important performance-oriented features
+<https://istlsfastyet.com/#server-performance>`_ in TLS, such as
+session IDs, session tickets (with automatic key rotation), OCSP
+stapling, dynamic record sizing, ALPN/NPN, forward secrecy and HTTP/2.
+``nghttpx`` also offers the functionality to share session cache and
+ticket keys among multiple ``nghttpx`` instances via memcached.
+
+``nghttpx`` has 2 operation modes:
+
+================== ======================== ================ =============
+Mode option Frontend Backend Note
+================== ======================== ================ =============
+default mode HTTP/3, HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 Reverse proxy
+``--http2-proxy`` HTTP/3, HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 Forward proxy
+================== ======================== ================ =============
+
+The interesting mode at the moment is the default mode. It works like
+a reverse proxy and listens for HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and HTTP/1.1 and can
+be deployed as a SSL/TLS terminator for existing web server.
+
+In all modes, the frontend connections are encrypted by SSL/TLS by
+default. To disable encryption, use the ``no-tls`` keyword in
+``--frontend`` option. If encryption is disabled, incoming HTTP/1.1
+connections can be upgraded to HTTP/2 through HTTP Upgrade. On the
+other hard, backend connections are not encrypted by default. To
+encrypt backend connections, use ``tls`` keyword in ``--backend``
+option.
+
+``nghttpx`` supports a configuration file. See the ``--conf`` option and
+sample configuration file ``nghttpx.conf.sample``.
+
+In the default mode, ``nghttpx`` works as reverse proxy to the backend
+server:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Client <-- (HTTP/3, HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2) --> Web Server
+ [reverse proxy]
+
+With the ``--http2-proxy`` option, it works as forward proxy, and it
+is so called secure HTTP/2 proxy:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Client <-- (HTTP/3, HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/1.1) --> Proxy
+ [secure proxy] (e.g., Squid, ATS)
+
+The ``Client`` in the above example needs to be configured to use
+``nghttpx`` as secure proxy.
+
+At the time of this writing, both Chrome and Firefox support secure
+HTTP/2 proxy. One way to configure Chrome to use a secure proxy is to
+create a proxy.pac script like this:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
+ return "HTTPS SERVERADDR:PORT";
+ }
+
+``SERVERADDR`` and ``PORT`` is the hostname/address and port of the
+machine nghttpx is running on. Please note that Chrome requires a valid
+certificate for secure proxy.
+
+Then run Chrome with the following arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ google-chrome --proxy-pac-url=file:///path/to/proxy.pac --use-npn
+
+The backend HTTP/2 connections can be tunneled through an HTTP proxy.
+The proxy is specified using ``--backend-http-proxy-uri``. The
+following figure illustrates how nghttpx talks to the outside HTTP/2
+proxy through an HTTP proxy:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Client <-- (HTTP/3, HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1) --> nghttpx <-- (HTTP/2) --
+
+ --===================---> HTTP/2 Proxy
+ (HTTP proxy tunnel) (e.g., nghttpx -s)
+
+Benchmarking tool
+-----------------
+
+The ``h2load`` program is a benchmarking tool for HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and
+HTTP/1.1. The UI of ``h2load`` is heavily inspired by ``weighttp``
+(https://github.com/lighttpd/weighttp). The typical usage is as
+follows:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ h2load -n100000 -c100 -m100 https://localhost:8443/
+ starting benchmark...
+ spawning thread #0: 100 concurrent clients, 100000 total requests

+ finished in 771.26ms, 129658 req/s, 4.71MB/s
+ requests: 100000 total, 100000 started, 100000 done, 100000 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 errored
+ status codes: 100000 2xx, 0 3xx, 0 4xx, 0 5xx

+ time for connect: 208.94ms 254.67ms 241.38ms 7.95ms 63.00%
+ time to 1st byte: 209.11ms 254.80ms 241.51ms 7.94ms 63.00%
+
+The above example issued total 100,000 requests, using 100 concurrent
+clients (in other words, 100 HTTP/2 sessions), and a maximum of 100 streams
+per client. With the ``-t`` option, ``h2load`` will use multiple native
+threads to avoid saturating a single core on client side.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ **Don't use this tool against publicly available servers.** That is
+ considered a DOS attack. Please only use it against your private
+ servers.
+
+If the experimental HTTP/3 is enabled, h2load can send requests to
+HTTP/3 server. To do this, specify ``h3`` to ``--npn-list`` option
+like so:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ $ h2load --npn-list h3 https://127.0.0.1:4433
+
+HPACK tools
+-----------
+
+The ``src`` directory contains the HPACK tools. The ``deflatehd`` program is a
+command-line header compression tool. The ``inflatehd`` program is a
+command-line header decompression tool. Both tools read input from
+stdin and write output to stdout. Errors are written to stderr.
+They take JSON as input and output. We (mostly) use the same JSON data
+format described at https://github.com/http2jp/hpack-test-case.
+
+deflatehd - header compressor
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The ``deflatehd`` program reads JSON data or HTTP/1-style header fields from
+stdin and outputs compressed header block in JSON.
+
+For the JSON input, the root JSON object must include a ``cases`` key.
+Its value has to include the sequence of input header set. They share
+the same compression context and are processed in the order they
+appear. Each item in the sequence is a JSON object and it must
+include a ``headers`` key. Its value is an array of JSON objects,
+which includes exactly one name/value pair.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "cases":
+ [
+ {
+ "headers": [
+ { ":method": "GET" },
+ { ":path": "/" }
+ ]
+ },
+ {
+ "headers": [
+ { ":method": "POST" },
+ { ":path": "/" }
+ ]
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+
+With the ``-t`` option, the program can accept more familiar HTTP/1 style
+header field blocks. Each header set is delimited by an empty line:
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ :method: GET
+ :scheme: https
+ :path: /
+
+ :method: POST
+ user-agent: nghttp2
+
+The output is in JSON object. It should include a ``cases`` key and its
+value is an array of JSON objects, which has at least the following keys:
+
+seq
+ The index of header set in the input.
+
+input_length
+ The sum of the length of the name/value pairs in the input.
+
+output_length
+ The length of the compressed header block.
+
+percentage_of_original_size
+ ``output_length`` / ``input_length`` * 100
+
+wire
+ The compressed header block as a hex string.
+
+headers
+ The input header set.
+
+header_table_size
+ The header table size adjusted before deflating the header set.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "cases":
+ [
+ {
+ "seq": 0,
+ "input_length": 66,
+ "output_length": 20,
+ "percentage_of_original_size": 30.303030303030305,
+ "wire": "01881f3468e5891afcbf83868a3d856659c62e3f",
+ "headers": [
+ {
+ ":authority": "example.org"
+ },
+ {
+ ":method": "GET"
+ },
+ {
+ ":path": "/"
+ },
+ {
+ ":scheme": "https"
+ },
+ {
+ "user-agent": "nghttp2"
+ }
+ ],
+ "header_table_size": 4096
+ }
+ ,
+ {
+ "seq": 1,
+ "input_length": 74,
+ "output_length": 10,
+ "percentage_of_original_size": 13.513513513513514,
+ "wire": "88448504252dd5918485",
+ "headers": [
+ {
+ ":authority": "example.org"
+ },
+ {
+ ":method": "POST"
+ },
+ {
+ ":path": "/account"
+ },
+ {
+ ":scheme": "https"
+ },
+ {
+ "user-agent": "nghttp2"
+ }
+ ],
+ "header_table_size": 4096
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+
+The output can be used as the input for ``inflatehd`` and
+``deflatehd``.
+
+With the ``-d`` option, the extra ``header_table`` key is added and its
+associated value includes the state of dynamic header table after the
+corresponding header set was processed. The value includes at least
+the following keys:
+
+entries
+ The entry in the header table. If ``referenced`` is ``true``, it
+ is in the reference set. The ``size`` includes the overhead (32
+ bytes). The ``index`` corresponds to the index of header table.
+ The ``name`` is the header field name and the ``value`` is the
+ header field value.
+
+size
+ The sum of the spaces entries occupied, this includes the
+ entry overhead.
+
+max_size
+ The maximum header table size.
+
+deflate_size
+ The sum of the spaces entries occupied within
+ ``max_deflate_size``.
+
+max_deflate_size
+ The maximum header table size the encoder uses. This can be smaller
+ than ``max_size``. In this case, the encoder only uses up to first
+ ``max_deflate_size`` buffer. Since the header table size is still
+ ``max_size``, the encoder has to keep track of entries outside the
+ ``max_deflate_size`` but inside the ``max_size`` and make sure
+ that they are no longer referenced.
+

+inflatehd - header decompressor
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The ``inflatehd`` program reads JSON data from stdin and outputs decompressed
+name/value pairs in JSON.
+
+The root JSON object must include the ``cases`` key. Its value has to
+include the sequence of compressed header blocks. They share the same
+compression context and are processed in the order they appear. Each
+item in the sequence is a JSON object and it must have at least a
+``wire`` key. Its value is a compressed header block as a hex string.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "cases":
+ [
+ { "wire": "8285" },
+ { "wire": "8583" }
+ ]
+ }
+
+The output is a JSON object. It should include a ``cases`` key and its
+value is an array of JSON objects, which has at least following keys:
+
+seq
+ The index of the header set in the input.
+
+headers
+ A JSON array that includes decompressed name/value pairs.
+
+wire
+ The compressed header block as a hex string.
+
+header_table_size
+ The header table size adjusted before inflating compressed header
+ block.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "cases":
+ [
+ {
+ "seq": 0,
+ "wire": "01881f3468e5891afcbf83868a3d856659c62e3f",
+ "headers": [
+ {
+ ":authority": "example.org"
+ },
+ {
+ ":method": "GET"
+ },
+ {
+ ":path": "/"
+ },
+ {
+ ":scheme": "https"
+ },
+ {
+ "user-agent": "nghttp2"
+ }
+ ],
+ "header_table_size": 4096
+ }
+ ,
+ {
+ "seq": 1,
+ "wire": "88448504252dd5918485",
+ "headers": [
+ {
+ ":method": "POST"
+ },
+ {
+ ":path": "/account"
+ },
+ {
+ "user-agent": "nghttp2"
+ },
+ {
+ ":scheme": "https"
+ },
+ {
+ ":authority": "example.org"
+ }
+ ],
+ "header_table_size": 4096
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+The output can be used as the input for ``deflatehd`` and
+``inflatehd``.
+
+With the ``-d`` option, the extra ``header_table`` key is added and its
+associated value includes the state of the dynamic header table after the
+corresponding header set was processed. The format is the same as
+``deflatehd``.

+Reporting vulnerability
+-----------------------
+
+If you find a vulnerability in our software, please send the email to
+"tatsuhiro.t at gmail dot com" about its details instead of submitting
+issues on github issue page. It is a standard practice not to
+disclose vulnerability information publicly until a fixed version is
+released, or mitigation is worked out.
+
+In the future, we may setup a dedicated mail address for this purpose.
+
+Release schedule
+----------------
+
+In general, we follow `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`_. We
+release MINOR version update every month, and usually we ship it
+around 25th day of every month.
+
+We may release PATCH releases between the regular releases, mainly for
+severe security bug fixes.
+
+We have no plan to break API compatibility changes involving soname
+bump, so MAJOR version will stay 1 for the foreseeable future.
