hyperframe: Pure-Python HTTP/2 framing

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/python-hyper/hyperframe.png?branch=master :target: https://travis-ci.org/python-hyper/hyperframe

This library contains the HTTP/2 framing code used in the hyper_ project. It provides a pure-Python codebase that is capable of decoding a binary stream into HTTP/2 frames.

This library is used directly by hyper_ and a number of other projects to provide HTTP/2 frame decoding logic.

Release History

6.0.0dev0

5.1.0 (2017-04-24)

API Changes (Backward-compatible)

• Added support for DataFrame.data being a memoryview object.

5.0.0 (2017-03-07)

Backwards Incompatible API Changes

• Added support for unknown extension frames. These will be returned in the new ExtensionFrame object. The flag information for these frames is persisted in flag_byte if needed.

4.0.2 (2017-02-20)

Bugfixes

• Fixed AltSvc stream association, which was incorrectly set to 'both': should have been 'either'.
• Fixed a bug where stream IDs on received frames were allowed to be 32-bit, instead of 31-bit.
• Fixed a bug with frames that had the PADDING flag set but zero-length padding, whose flow-controlled length was calculated wrongly.
• Miscellaneous performance improvements to serialization and parsing logic.

4.0.1 (2016-03-13)

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug with the repr of AltSvcFrame, where building it could throw exceptions if the frame had been received from the network.

4.0.0 (2016-03-13)

Backwards Incompatible API Changes

• Updated old ALTSVC frame definition to match the newly specified RFC 7838.
• Remove BLOCKED frame, which was never actually specified.
• Removed previously deprecated SettingsFrame.SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE and SettingsFrame.SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE.

3.2.0 (2016-02-02)

API Changes (Backward-compatible)

• Invalid PING frame bodies now raise InvalidFrameError, not ValueError. Note that InvalidFrameError is a ValueError subclass.
• Invalid RST_STREAM frame bodies now raise InvalidFramError, not ValueError. Note that InvalidFrameError is a ValueError subclass.
• Canonicalized the names of SettingsFrame.SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE and SettingsFrame.SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE to match their peers, by adding new properties SettingsFrame.MAX_FRAME_SIZE and SettingsFrame.SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The old names are still present, but will be deprecated in 4.0.0.

Bugfixes

• The change in 3.1.0 that ensured that InvalidFrameError would be thrown did not affect certain invalid values in ALTSVC frames. This has been fixed: ValueError will no longer be thrown from invalid ALTSVC bodies.

3.1.1 (2016-01-18)

Bugfixes

• Correctly error when receiving Ping frames that have insufficient data.

3.1.0 (2016-01-13)

API Changes

• Added new InvalidFrameError that is thrown instead of struct.error when parsing a frame.

Bugfixes

• Fixed error when trying to serialize frames that use Priority information with the defaults for that information.
• Fixed errors when displaying the repr of frames with non-printable bodies.

3.0.1 (2016-01-08)

Bugfixes

• Fix issue where unpadded DATA, PUSH_PROMISE and HEADERS frames that had empty bodies would raise InvalidPaddingError exceptions when parsed.

3.0.0 (2016-01-08)

Backwards Incompatible API Changes

• Parsing padded frames that have invalid padding sizes now throws an InvalidPaddingError.

2.2.0 (2015-10-15)

API Changes

• When an unknown frame is encountered, parse_frame_header now throws a ValueError subclass: UnknownFrameError. This subclass contains the frame type and the length of the frame body.

2.1.0 (2015-10-06)

API Changes

• Frames parsed from binary data now carry a body_len attribute that matches the frame length (minus the frame header).

2.0.0 (2015-09-21)

API Changes

• Attempting to parse unrecognised frames now throws ValueError instead of KeyError. Thanks to @Kriechi!
• Flags are now validated for correctness, preventing setting flags that hyperframe does not recognise and that would not serialize. Thanks to @mhils!
• Frame properties can now be initialized in the constructors. Thanks to @mhils and @Kriechi!
• Frames that cannot be sent on a stream now have their stream ID defaulted to 0. Thanks to @Kriechi!

Other Changes

• Frames have a more useful repr. Thanks to @mhils!

1.1.1 (2015-07-20)

• Fix a bug where FRAME_MAX_LEN was one byte too small.

1.1.0 (2015-06-28)

• Add body_len property to frames to enable introspection of the actual frame length. Thanks to @jdecuyper!

1.0.1 (2015-06-27)

• Fix bug where the frame header would have an incorrect length added to it.

1.0.0 (2015-04-12)

• Initial extraction from hyper.
