### performance
- handling of the very big packet(any size that can be buffered)
- speeding up TCP sessions by using message hints: Added **proto.HasFullPayload** that helps to validate the entire HTTP request, it supports `Chunked` encoding too! Added **proto.HasRequestTitle** and **proto.HasResponseTitle** for validating the beginning of HTTP request. Those methods are used `input_raw.go` with `TCP`.
- supports Keep-Alive: the above functions helps to support keep-alive
### Packaging
- **capture:** engines(capture/doc.go)
- **tcp:** tcp message parser (tcp/doc.go)
### benchmarking
- **capture.BenchmarkPcapDump:** the benchmarks regarding dumping packets in a pcap file
- **capture.BenchmarkPcapFile:** the benchmarks of reading packets from a pcap file
- **capture.BenchmarkPcap:** the benchmarks of parsing packets from the loopback interface with pcap handles
- **proto.BenchmarkHasFullPayload:**: benchmarking this function which validates the HTTP payload
- **tcp.BenchmarkPacketParseAndSort:** benchmarks of parsing and sorting packets
- **tcp.BenchmarkMessageParserWithoutHint:** benchmarks of message reasembling by using `SYN` and `FIN` flag
- **tcp.BenchmarkMessageParserWithHint:** benchmarks of message reasembling by using `proto.HasRequestTitle` and `proto.HasFullPayload` flag
### issues
see linked issues
### tests
- fixed input raw and engine tests
**Most of the changed of the files, was about using functionalities of** `tcp` **and** `capture` **in existing functionalities**
This provides the ability to have a maximum number of workers, yet still allow scaling down. The scaling down is important to stop timeouts happening with under-utilised workers.
Note, although the code has workers_min, workers_max, the settings option --output-http-workers has remained and becomes the "max" value. I did this to hopefully not break too much for others. The min will default to 1, so users will see dynamic scaling unless they also set min to be the same. This will probably benefit them as they will avoid potential timeouts when the traffic reduces. But something to be aware of.
