| |
| With this module you can create [HTTP2][0] / [SPDY][1] servers |
| in node.js with natural http module interface and fallback to regular https |
| (for browsers that don't support neither HTTP2, nor SPDY yet). |
| |
| This module named `spdy` but it [provides](https://github.com/indutny/node-spdy/issues/269#issuecomment-239014184) support for both http/2 (h2) and spdy (2,3,3.1). Also, `spdy` is compatible with Express. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ### Examples |
| |
| Server: |
| ```javascript |
| var spdy = require('spdy'), |
| fs = require('fs'); |
| |
| var options = { |
| // Private key |
| key: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/keys/spdy-key.pem'), |
| |
| // Fullchain file or cert file (prefer the former) |
| cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/keys/spdy-fullchain.pem'), |
| |
| // **optional** SPDY-specific options |
| spdy: { |
| protocols: [ 'h2', 'spdy/3.1', ..., 'http/1.1' ], |
| plain: false, |
| |
| // **optional** |
| // Parse first incoming X_FORWARDED_FOR frame and put it to the |
| // headers of every request. |
| // NOTE: Use with care! This should not be used without some proxy that |
| // will *always* send X_FORWARDED_FOR |
| 'x-forwarded-for': true, |
| |
| connection: { |
| windowSize: 1024 * 1024, // Server's window size |
| |
| // **optional** if true - server will send 3.1 frames on 3.0 *plain* spdy |
| autoSpdy31: false |
| } |
| } |
| }; |
| |
| var server = spdy.createServer(options, function(req, res) { |
| res.writeHead(200); |
| res.end('hello world!'); |
| }); |
| |
| server.listen(3000); |
| ``` |
| |
| Client: |
| ```javascript |
| var spdy = require('spdy'); |
| var https = require('https'); |
| |
| var agent = spdy.createAgent({ |
| host: 'www.google.com', |
| port: 443, |
| |
| // Optional SPDY options |
| spdy: { |
| plain: false, |
| ssl: true, |
| |
| // **optional** send X_FORWARDED_FOR |
| 'x-forwarded-for': '127.0.0.1' |
| } |
| }); |
| |
| https.get({ |
| host: 'www.google.com', |
| agent: agent |
| }, function(response) { |
| console.log('yikes'); |
| // Here it goes like with any other node.js HTTP request |
| // ... |
| // And once we're done - we may close TCP connection to server |
| // NOTE: All non-closed requests will die! |
| agent.close(); |
| }).end(); |
| ``` |
| |
| Please note that if you use a custom agent, by default all connection-level |
| errors will result in an uncaught exception. To handle these errors subscribe |
| to the `error` event and re-emit the captured error: |
| |
| ```javascript |
| var agent = spdy.createAgent({ |
| host: 'www.google.com', |
| port: 443 |
| }).once('error', function (err) { |
| this.emit(err); |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| #### Push streams |
| |
| It is possible to initiate [PUSH_PROMISE][5] to send content to clients _before_ |
| the client requests it. |
| |
| ```javascript |
| spdy.createServer(options, function(req, res) { |
| var stream = res.push('/main.js', { |
| status: 200, // optional |
| method: 'GET', // optional |
| request: { |
| accept: '*/*' |
| }, |
| response: { |
| 'content-type': 'application/javascript' |
| } |
| }); |
| stream.on('error', function() { |
| }); |
| stream.end('alert("hello from push stream!");'); |
| |
| res.end('<script src="/main.js"></script>'); |
| }).listen(3000); |
| ``` |
| |
| [PUSH_PROMISE][5] may be sent using the `push()` method on the current response |
| object. The signature of the `push()` method is: |
| |
| `.push('/some/relative/url', { request: {...}, response: {...} }, callback)` |
| |
| Second argument contains headers for both PUSH_PROMISE and emulated response. |
| `callback` will receive two arguments: `err` (if any error is happened) and a |
| [Duplex][4] stream as the second argument. |
| |
| Client usage: |
| ```javascript |
| var agent = spdy.createAgent({ /* ... */ }); |
| var req = http.get({ |
| host: 'www.google.com', |
| agent: agent |
| }, function(response) { |
| }); |
| req.on('push', function(stream) { |
| stream.on('error', function(err) { |
| // Handle error |
| }); |
| // Read data from stream |
| }); |
| ``` |
| |
| NOTE: You're responsible for the `stream` object once given it in `.push()` |
| callback or `push` event. Hence ignoring `error` event on it will result in |
| uncaught exception and crash your program. |
| |
| #### Trailing headers |
| |
| Server usage: |
| ```javascript |
| function (req, res) { |
| // Send trailing headers to client |
| res.addTrailers({ header1: 'value1', header2: 'value2' }); |
| |
| // On client's trailing headers |
| req.on('trailers', function(headers) { |
| // ... |
| }); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Client usage: |
| ```javascript |
| var req = http.request({ agent: spdyAgent, /* ... */ }).function (res) { |
| // On server's trailing headers |
| res.on('trailers', function(headers) { |
| // ... |
| }); |
| }); |
| req.write('stuff'); |
| req.addTrailers({ /* ... */ }); |
| req.end(); |
| ``` |
| |
| #### Options |
| |
| All options supported by [tls][2] work with node-spdy. |
| |
| Additional options may be passed via `spdy` sub-object: |
| |
| * `plain` - if defined, server will ignore NPN and ALPN data and choose whether |
| to use spdy or plain http by looking at first data packet. |
| * `ssl` - if `false` and `options.plain` is `true`, `http.Server` will be used |
| as a `base` class for created server. |
| * `maxChunk` - if set and non-falsy, limits number of bytes sent in one DATA |
| chunk. Setting it to non-zero value is recommended if you care about |
| interleaving of outgoing data from multiple different streams. |
| (defaults to 8192) |
| * `protocols` - list of NPN/ALPN protocols to use (default is: |
| `['h2','spdy/3.1', 'spdy/3', 'spdy/2','http/1.1', 'http/1.0']`) |
| * `protocol` - use specific protocol if no NPN/ALPN ex In addition, |
| * `maxStreams` - set "[maximum concurrent streams][3]" protocol option |
| |
| ### API |
| |
| API is compatible with `http` and `https` module, but you can use another |
| function as base class for SPDYServer. |
| |
| ```javascript |
| spdy.createServer( |
| [base class constructor, i.e. https.Server], |
| { /* keys and options */ }, // <- the only one required argument |
| [request listener] |
| ).listen([port], [host], [callback]); |
| ``` |
| |
| Request listener will receive two arguments: `request` and `response`. They're |
| both instances of `http`'s `IncomingMessage` and `OutgoingMessage`. But three |
| custom properties are added to both of them: `isSpdy`, `spdyVersion`. `isSpdy` |
| is `true` when the request was processed using HTTP2/SPDY protocols, it is |
| `false` in case of HTTP/1.1 fallback. `spdyVersion` is either of: `2`, `3`, |
| `3.1`, or `4` (for HTTP2). |
