* http: The big HTTP API refactoring of January 2025.v2.0.0-alpha.3http-client-transGarrett D'Amore2025-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This represents a major change in the HTTP code base, consisting of a complete revamp of the HTTP API. The changes here are too numerous to mention, but the end result should be a vastly simpler API for both server and client applications. Many needless allocations were removed by providing fixed buffers for various parameters and headers when possible. A few bugs were fixed. Most especially we have fixed some bugs around very large URIs and headers, and we have also addressed conformance bugs to more closely conform to RFCs 9110 and 9112. As part of this work, the APIs for WebSockets changed slightly as well. In particular the properties available for accessing headers have changed. There is still documentation conversion work to do, and additional functionality (such as proper support for chunked transfers), but this is a big step in the right direction.

* fixes #682 Support for Chunked Transfer CodingGarrett D'Amore2018-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the client side only, although the work is structured to support server applications. The chunked API is for now private, although the intent to is to make it public for applications who really want to use it. Note that chunked transfer encoding puts data through extra copies. First it copies through the buffering area (because I have to be able to extract variable length strings from inside the data stream), and then again to reassemble the chunks into a single unified object. We do assume that the user wants the entire thing as a single object. This means that using this to pull unbounded data will just silently consume all memory. Use caution!
* fixes #681 HTTP convenience GET method desired...Garrett D'Amore2018-08-30
This adds a couple of new methods, and related documentation and test cases.
