HTTP/2 C library and tools

Nghttp2 v1.0.2

We released nghttp2 v1.0.2.

This release fixes the bug which causes connection window exhaustion if automatic flow-control is disabled (nghttp2_option_set_no_auto_window_update()) and certain race condition is met. When this happened, remote peer could not send any more DATA because there was no connection window left.

For Windows build, we now define NGHTTP2_EXTERN to __declspec(dllimport) when using nghttp2 library.

We translated fetch-ocsp-response script into Python, and it is now under script directory.

We got several patches to enhance Python API from Fabian Wiesel.

We fixed the bug in libevent-client that included broken :path in request if request URI did not contain path part.

For nghttpx, we added --add-request-header option to add arbitrary header fields to backend server. We also enabled generic HTTP Upgrade in HTTP/1.1 frontend (HTTP/2 disallows this, so it is not available). This means nghttpx now can proxy WebSocket connection between client and backend server.
