STREAM and CRYPTO frames have a similar encoding format. In particular, both of them have a variable-length integer Length field just before the frame payload. It is complex to determine the optimal Length value before copying the payload data in the remaining buffer space. As such, helper functions were implemented to calculate this. However, CRYPTO and STREAM frames encoding implementation were not completely aligned, which renders the code harder to follow. The purpose of this commit is to simplify CRYPTO and STREAM frames encoding. First, a new helper quic_int_cap_length() is defined which is useful to determine the optimal buffer room available if prefixed by a variable-length integer as Length field. Then, processing of both CRYPTO and STREAM frames is now nearly identical, based on this new helper function. Functions max_available_room() and max_stream_data_size() are now unused and are removed.
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
