bugs include:
- middleware doesn't send message meta
- send empty request when prettifier is off
- handle shutdown gracefully
- disable debug in example middlewares during test
// PluginReader is an interface for input plugins
type PluginReader interface {
PluginRead() (msg *Message, err error)
}
// PluginWriter is an interface for output plugins
type PluginWriter interface {
PluginWrite(msg *Message) (n int, err error)
}
### 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**
If while decompressing gzip payload decompressed value was less then
compressed, it did not changed buffer length, and middleware received
bytes left from gzip response.
