Functions Documentation

function set_pseudo

static int set_pseudo(
    h3_stream * stream,
    h3_session * session,
    int32_t token,
    nghttp3_vec * value
)

function on_begin_headers

int on_begin_headers(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id the headers are arriving on.
  • user_data The h3_session (set via nghttp3_conn_set_user_data).
  • stream_user_data Pre-allocated h3_stream from the session's pending slot, or NULL.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing session.

nghttp3 begin_headers callback. Allocates the h3_stream tracking structure for stream_id (or binds the session's pending one) and records it as nghttp3's stream user data.

function on_recv_header

int on_recv_header(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    int32_t token,
    nghttp3_rcbuf * name,
    nghttp3_rcbuf * value,
    uint8_t flags,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id the header belongs to.
  • token QPACK token id, or -1 for a non-indexed field.
  • name Header name (raw, for non-indexed fields).
  • value Header value bytes.
  • flags nghttp3 header flags (e.g. NGHTTP3_NVA_FLAG_NEVER_INDEX).
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_MALFORMED_HTTP_HEADER on a bad pseudo-header, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 recv_header callback. Stores a single header field on the stream. Pseudo-headers (:method, :scheme, :path, :authority) go into dedicated slots; other headers go into the stream's headers table.

function on_end_headers

int on_end_headers(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    int fin,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id whose headers just ended.
  • fin Non-zero if request has no body.
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 end_headers callback. Marks the stream as having complete request headers and body if FIN is set.

function on_recv_data

int on_recv_data(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    const uint8_t * data,
    size_t datalen,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id receiving data.
  • data The DATA payload bytes.
  • datalen Length of data in bytes.
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 recv_data callback. Appends request body for stream_id.

function on_acked_stream_data

int on_acked_stream_data(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    uint64_t datalen,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id whose response data was acked.
  • datalen Number of body bytes acknowledged.
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on nghttp3 error.

nghttp3 acked_stream_data callback. datalen bytes of response body are acknowledged; release that much of the stream's bounded response queue and wake the producer blocked in h3_stream_response_append.

function on_deferred_consume

int on_deferred_consume(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    size_t consumed,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Return: 0 on success.

nghttp3 callback reporting bytes it consumed for a stream that had been deferred. The engine must be given this many bytes of flow control credit, or the peer stalls once its initial window is spent.

function on_stop_sending

int on_stop_sending(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    uint64_t app_error_code,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id being stopped.
  • app_error_code Application error code.
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 stop_sending callback. Abort stream read side.

function on_reset_stream

int on_reset_stream(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    uint64_t app_error_code,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id being reset.
  • app_error_code Application error code to signal.
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 reset_stream callback. Abort stream write side.

function on_stream_close

int on_stream_close(
    nghttp3_conn * conn,
    int64_t stream_id,
    uint64_t app_error_code,
    void * user_data,
    void * stream_user_data
)

Parameters:

  • conn The nghttp3 connection.
  • stream_id QUIC stream id that closed.
  • app_error_code Final application error code (0 for clean close).
  • user_data The h3_session.
  • stream_user_data The h3_stream.

Return: 0 on success, NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE on missing stream.

nghttp3 stream_close callback. Stream is fully closed; release per-stream resources (SSL object, request_rec pool, etc.).
