http2: add RFC 8441 extended connect protocol support #23284

jasnell · 2018-10-05T22:13:52Z

Add RFC 8441 extended connect protocol support to allow use of WebSockets over HTTP/2.

Note: this does not add the websockets support but it does enable the fundamentals that are necessary to enable such.

I can't speak speak for the code changes but this feature looks awesome.

Basic proof of concept that it works: https://github.com/jasnell/http2ws/blob/master/http2ws.js

Nice work!

doc/api/http2.md

+client.on('remoteSettings', (settings) => {
+  if (settings.enableConnectProtocol) {
+    const req = client.request({ ':method': 'CONNECT', ':protocol': 'foo' });
+    // ...


Just when it got interesting ;) How does one use this feature? Is the idea that req is a raw Duplex stream now and another protocol can use it as its underlying transport stream?

Effectively yeah... RFC 8441 says that the HTTP/2 Stream is to be used in place of the Socket... so here, the Http2Stream (on both client and server) is the underlying transport... layering FTW!

There are some challenges, however, in that the ws WebSocket implementation has a number of timing and API expectations built in that don't quite match up but, for the most part, it just kinda works.

Notable changes: * assert * The diff output is now a tiny bit improved by sorting object properties when inspecting the values that are compared with each other. #22788 * cli * The options parser now normalizes `_` to `-` in all multi-word command-line flags, e.g. `--no_warnings` has the same effect as `--no-warnings`. #23020 * Added bash completion for the `node` binary. To generate a bash completion script, run `node --completion-bash`. The output can be saved to a file which can be sourced to enable completion. #20713 * crypto * Added support for PEM-level encryption. #23151 * Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods `crypto.generateKeyPair` and `crypto.generateKeyPairSync` can be used to generate public and private key pairs. The API supports RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER). #22660 * fs * Added a `recursive` option to `fs.mkdir` and `fs.mkdirSync`. If this option is set to true, non-existing parent folders will be automatically created. #21875 * http2 * Added a `'ping'` event to `Http2Session` that is emitted whenever a non-ack `PING` is received. #23009 * Added support for the `ORIGIN` frame. #22956 * Updated nghttp2 to 1.34.0. This adds RFC 8441 extended connect protocol support to allow use of WebSockets over HTTP/2. #23284 * module * Added `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`. This new method can be used to create a custom require function that will resolve modules relative to the filename path. #19360 * process * Added a `'multipleResolves'` process event that is emitted whenever a `Promise` is attempted to be resolved multiple times, e.g. if the `resolve` and `reject` functions are both called in a `Promise` executor. #22218 * url * Added `url.fileURLToPath(url)` and `url.pathToFileURL(path)`. These methods can be used to correctly convert between file: URLs and absolute paths. #22506 * util * Added the `sorted` option to `util.inspect()`. If set to `true`, all properties of an object and Set and Map entries will be sorted in the returned string. If set to a function, it is used as a compare function. #22788 * The `util.instpect.custom` symbol is now defined in the global symbol registry as `Symbol.for('nodejs.util.inspect.custom')`. #20857 * Added support for `BigInt` numbers in `util.format()`. #22097 * V8 API * A number of V8 C++ APIs have been marked as deprecated since they have been removed in the upstream repository. Replacement APIs are added where necessary. #23159 * Windows * The Windows msi installer now provides an option to automatically install the tools required to build native modules. #22645 * Workers * Debugging support for Workers using the DevTools protocol has been implemented. #21364 * The public `inspector` module is now enabled in Workers. #22769 * Added new collaborators: * digitalinfinity - Hitesh Kanwathirtha PR-URL: #23313
