Stream Sockets
I will show you Les Codes 00
HTTP: The Protocol
Request GET / HTTP/1.1 <--- request line Host: igor.io <---
header <--- line feed <--- body (blank)
Response HTTP/1.1 200 OK <--- status line Content-Length: 2 <---
headers <--- line feed Hi <--- body
Verbs •GET •POST
Verbs •GET •POST •PUT •DELETE
Verbs •GET •POST •PUT •DELETE ! •HEAD •OPTIONS •TRACE •CONNECT
• 1xx - Special protocol stuff • 2xx - All
good • 3xx - Redirection • 4xx - You messed up • 5xx - I messed up Status codes
Keep-Alive
Streaming • Transfer-Encoding: chunked • dechex(strlen($chunk)) \r\n $chunk \r\n •
0 \r\n \r\n
General weirdness • Trailers • Repeated headers • 100 Continue
ABNF is very permissive
HTTP/1.1 RFC 2616 read it.
Parsing
Request GET / HTTP/1.1 <--- request line Host: igor.io <---
header <--- line feed <--- body (blank)
More codes 01, 02
Problem? • Incomplete HTTP parser • Missing error handling •
Assumption: request can be read in one go • Assumption: request no larger than 512 bytes • Assumption: request/response body fits in memory • Blocking I/O
Non-blocking I/O
Even more codes 03-08
Unreadable
LOL error handling
Writing your own HTTP server is hard
Don’t do it.
None
Questions? joind.in/9277 ! reactphp.org ! @igorwesome ! ! github.com/igorw/webserver-zceu
Bonus • Memory leaks • Too fast reads / too
slow writes • libevent / libev / libuv • Promises • Generators • pthreads • WebSockets
Logo credits • Netscape • Apache • FreeBSD • Erlang
