Add some minor functionalities which were put off

[ryuju0911]

Background

I left some functionalities TODO when implementing client and server. They include Expect: 100-continue, Connection: keep-alive, HEAD method, etc.

Goal

I will add the functionalities described above. Also, I will add tests for server and client since I have already done with basic components.

Approach

Overview

I will implement them incrementally referring to the source code.

Todo

• Essential components

Frequency

Weekly

Deadline

Report

• I enabled the server to handle Expect: 100-continue of HTTP header. It specifies a server sends a temporary response first indicating a server can accept the request. To ensure it is properly handled, I added tests and all of them passed successfully.

Work Time

8h

Report

• I enabled the server to handle Connection: keep-alive for HTTP/1.0. It specifies the server to reuse a connection instead of closing it after a request is processed. To support this feature, some unclear logic was used and I tried to understand them by reading related issues.

References

• net/http: support concurrent Request.Body reads & ResponseWriter.Write calls in HTTP/1.x server
• net/http: add ResponseController.EnableFullDuplex

Work Time

8h

Report

• I completed the implementation of chunkWriter.writeHeader function. It writes status line, body, and trailer (if present) in the final request processing stage. A lot of logic is involved in writing them, and I learned them with reference to a RFC.

Work Time

11h

Report

• I added some functionalities such as Authorization header and rewinding request body to the client side. Also, I did further investigation on the logic of the client, but it is much more complex than one of the server. It seems that it will take time to understand how the client works.
