Hi all
I need a tiny addition made to connection.c.
In keepalive_possible(), can we change the line that says
if (0 == strcasecmp (end, "close"))
to
if (0 == strcasecmp (end, "close") || 0 == strcasecmp (end, "upgrade"))
?
This would make it possible to use libmicrohttpd in a WebSocket (RFC6455)
environment. Currently, the way that the WebSocket protocol works, it sends
"Connection: Upgrade" in the headers with the initial handshake, which causes
this check to fail and (ultimately) insert "Connection: Keep-Alive" in the
response headers (which cause any compliant WebSocket client to fail the
handshake, since it needs "Connection: Upgrade" in the response headers, and
there is no way to remove this keepalive header from the response from outside
of MHD, as it is added automatically to the response buffer).
Note that this is only an HTTP/1.1 issue, AFAIK (I am pretty sure, though not
positive, that WebSocket is not compatible with HTTP/1.0).
Thanks!
Greg
