HPACK中,最重要的优化就是消除请求间冗余的首部字段。在实现上,主要有两个方面,一是前面看到的首部字段的索引表示,另一方面则是动态表的维护。
HTTP/2中数据发送方向和数据接收方向各有一个动态表。通信的双方,一端发送方向的动态表需要与另一端接收方向的动态表保持一致,反之亦然。
HTTP/2的连接复用及请求并发执行指的是逻辑上的并发。由于底层传输还是用的TCP协议,因而,发送方发送数据的顺序,与接收方接收数据的顺序是一致的。
数据发送方在发送一个请求的首部数据时会顺便维护自己的动态表,接收方在收到首部数据时,也需要立马维护自己接收方向的动态表,然后将解码之后的首部字段列表dispatch出去。
如果通信双方同时在进行2个HTTP请求,分别称为Req1和Req2,假设在发送方Req1的头部字段列表先发送,Req2的头部字段后发送。接收方必然先收到Req1的头部字段列表,然后是Req2的。如果接收方在收到Req1的头部字段列表后,没有立即解码,而是等Req2的首部字段列表接收并处理完成之后,再来处理Req1的,则两端的动态表必然是不一致的。
这里来看一下OkHttp3中的动态表维护。
发送方向的动态表,在 okhttp3.internal.framed.Hpack.Writer 中维护。在HTTP/2中,动态表的最大大小在连接建立的初期会进行协商,后面在数据收发过程中也会进行更新。
在编码头部字段列表的 writeHeaders(List
headerBlock) 中,会在需要的时候,将头部字段插入动态表,具体来说,就是在头部字段的名字不在静态表中,同时 名-值对不在动态表中的情况。将头部字段插入动态表的过程如下:
private void clearDynamicTable() {
Arrays.fill(dynamicTable, null);
nextHeaderIndex = dynamicTable.length - 1;
headerCount = 0;
dynamicTableByteCount = 0;
}
/** Returns the count of entries evicted. */
private int evictToRecoverBytes(int bytesToRecover) {
int entriesToEvict = 0;
if (bytesToRecover > 0) {
// determine how many headers need to be evicted.
for (int j = dynamicTable.length - 1; j >= nextHeaderIndex && bytesToRecover > 0; j--) {
bytesToRecover -= dynamicTable[j].hpackSize;
dynamicTableByteCount -= dynamicTable[j].hpackSize;
headerCount--;
entriesToEvict++;
}
System.arraycopy(dynamicTable, nextHeaderIndex + 1, dynamicTable,
nextHeaderIndex + 1 + entriesToEvict, headerCount);
Arrays.fill(dynamicTable, nextHeaderIndex + 1, nextHeaderIndex + 1 + entriesToEvict, null);
nextHeaderIndex += entriesToEvict;
}
return entriesToEvict;
}
private void insertIntoDynamicTable(Header entry) {
int delta = entry.hpackSize;
// if the new or replacement header is too big, drop all entries.
if (delta > maxDynamicTableByteCount) {
clearDynamicTable();
return;
}
// Evict headers to the required length.
int bytesToRecover = (dynamicTableByteCount + delta) - maxDynamicTableByteCount;
evictToRecoverBytes(bytesToRecover);
if (headerCount + 1 > dynamicTable.length) { // Need to grow the dynamic table.
Header[] doubled = new Header[dynamicTable.length * 2];
System.arraycopy(dynamicTable, 0, doubled, dynamicTable.length, dynamicTable.length);
nextHeaderIndex = dynamicTable.length - 1;
dynamicTable = doubled;
}
int index = nextHeaderIndex--;
dynamicTable[index] = entry;
headerCount++;
dynamicTableByteCount += delta;
}
动态表占用的空间超出限制时,老的头部字段将被移除。在OkHttp3中,动态表是一个自后向前生长的表。
在数据的接收防线,okhttp3.internal.http2.Http2Reader 的 nextFrame(Handler handler) 会不停从网络读取一帧帧的数据:
public boolean nextFrame(Handler handler) throws IOException {
try {
source.require(9); // Frame header size
} catch (IOException e) {
return false; // This might be a normal socket close.
}
/* 0 1 2 3
* 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

* +-+-+-----------+---------------+-------------------------------+

* +---------------------------------------------------------------+
*/
int length = readMedium(source);
if (length < 0 || length > INITIAL_MAX_FRAME_SIZE) {
throw ioException("FRAME_SIZE_ERROR: %s", length);
}
byte type = (byte) (source.readByte() & 0xff);
byte flags = (byte) (source.readByte() & 0xff);
int streamId = (source.readInt() & 0x7fffffff); // Ignore reserved bit.
if (logger.isLoggable(FINE)) logger.fine(frameLog(true, streamId, length, type, flags));
switch (type) {
case TYPE_DATA:
readData(handler, length, flags, streamId);
break;
case TYPE_HEADERS:
readHeaders(handler, length, flags, streamId);
break;
读到头部块时,会立即维护本地接收方向的动态表:
private void readHeaders(Handler handler, int length, byte flags, int streamId)
throws IOException {
if (streamId == 0) throw ioException("PROTOCOL_ERROR: TYPE_HEADERS streamId == 0");
boolean endStream = (flags & FLAG_END_STREAM) != 0;
short padding = (flags & FLAG_PADDED) != 0 ? (short) (source.readByte() & 0xff) : 0;
if ((flags & FLAG_PRIORITY) != 0) {
readPriority(handler, streamId);
length -= 5; // account for above read.
}
length = lengthWithoutPadding(length, flags, padding);
List<Header> headerBlock = readHeaderBlock(length, padding, flags, streamId);
handler.headers(endStream, streamId, -1, headerBlock);
}
private List<Header> readHeaderBlock(int length, short padding, byte flags, int streamId)
throws IOException {
continuation.length = continuation.left = length;
continuation.padding = padding;
continuation.flags = flags;
continuation.streamId = streamId;
// TODO: Concat multi-value headers with 0x0, except COOKIE, which uses 0x3B, 0x20.
// http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-17#section-8.1.2.5
hpackReader.readHeaders();
return hpackReader.getAndResetHeaderList();
}

HTTP/2中数据收发两端的动态表一致性主要是依赖TCP来实现的。
Done。
