Re: [libmicrohttpd] HTTP "UPGRADE" header / switching protocol

[Bertrand Baudet]

Hi,

Attached is a small patch to provide 'Connection: Upgrade' capability, with an attempt to do a test with curl.

The test is not fully functional since there are some issues with the use of curl:

* if the HTTP response code is '101' curl_perform will fail. I didn't look at curl source to understand why...

* the test attempt to do an upgrade to PTTH (http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-lentczner-rhttp-00.txt), but reverting the use of a FD in a same process,

is not really easy. You end up reading the FD you just wrote at the same end of the connection and no data are read. 

Anyway, I have done another sample test and the tcpdump capture looks OK.

Regards,

Bertrand

Short answer: nothing has happened since.  IIRC the proposed API still had some issues (but I don't recall which ones right now), and nothing has been implemented by me (and I have received no patches or specific feedback  on the API).  It's still on my agenda, but I'm currently focused on other issues...

Happy hacking,

Christian

Hello,

I found a thread regarding this subject on Mon Jan 23, 2012: 'Websockets'.
At this time an API for the upgrade mechanisms was proposed and it seems present in SVN, but '#if 0'.

I'm interesting in using a protocol switch (not for websocket) and I would like to know if more have been done on this subject?

Bertrand
