For now, the HTX extra value is used to specify the known part, in bytes, of the HTTP payload we will receive. It may concerne the full payload if a content-length is specified or the current chunk for a chunk-encoded message. The main purpose of this value is to be used on the opposite side to be able to announce chunks bigger than a buffer. It can also be used to check the validity of the payload on the sending path, to properly detect too big or too short payload. However, setting this information in the HTX message itself is not really appropriate because the information is lost when the HTX message is consumed and the underlying buffer released. So the producer must take care to always add it in all HTX messages. it is especially an issue when the payload is altered by a filter. So to fix this design issue, the information will be moved in the sedesc. It is a persistent area to save the information. In addition, to avoid the ambiguity between what the producer say and what the consumer see, the information will be splitted in two fields. In this patch, the fields are added: * kip : The known input payload length * kop : The known output payload lenght The producer will be responsible to set <kip> value. The stream will be responsible to decrement <kip> and increment <kop> accordingly. And the consumer will be responsible to remove consumed bytes from <kop>.
