## Detailed Description

QHttp2Configuration controls HTTP/2 parameters and settings that QNetworkAccessManager will use to send requests and process responses when the HTTP/2 protocol is enabled.

The HTTP/2 parameters that QHttp2Configuration currently supports include:

- The session window size for connection-level flow control. Will be sent to a remote peer when needed as 'WINDOW_UPDATE' frames on the stream with an identifier 0.
- The stream receiving window size for stream-level flow control. Sent as 'SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE' parameter in the initial SETTINGS frame and, when needed, 'WINDOW_UPDATE' frames will be sent on streams that QNetworkAccessManager opens.
- The maximum frame size. This parameter limits the maximum payload a frame coming from the remote peer can have. Sent by QNetworkAccessManager as 'SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE' parameter in the initial 'SETTINGS' frame.
- The server push. Allows to enable or disable server push. Sent as 'SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH' parameter in the initial 'SETTINGS' frame.

The QHttp2Configuration class also controls if the header compression algorithm (HPACK) is additionally using Huffman coding for string compression.

Note: The configuration must be set before the first request was sent to a given host (and thus an HTTP/2 session established).

Note: Details about flow control, server push and 'SETTINGS' can be found in RFC 7540. Different modes and parameters of the HPACK compression algorithm are described in RFC 7541.

## Member Function Documentation

### QHttp2Configuration::QHttp2Configuration()

Default constructs a QHttp2Configuration object.

Such a configuration has the following values:

- Server push is disabled
- Huffman string compression is enabled
- Window size for connection-level flow control is 65535 octets
- Window size for stream-level flow control is 65535 octets
- Frame size is 16384 octets

### QHttp2Configuration::QHttp2Configuration(const QHttp2Configuration &other)

Copy-constructs this QHttp2Configuration.

### `[noexcept]` QHttp2Configuration::QHttp2Configuration(QHttp2Configuration &&other)

Move-constructs this QHttp2Configuration from other

### `[noexcept]` QHttp2Configuration::~QHttp2Configuration()

Destructor.

### bool QHttp2Configuration::huffmanCompressionEnabled() const

Returns `true` if the Huffman coding in HPACK is enabled.

See also setHuffmanCompressionEnabled.

### unsigned int QHttp2Configuration::maxFrameSize() const

Returns the maximum payload size that HTTP/2 frames can have. The default (initial) value is 16384 octets.

See also setMaxFrameSize().

### bool QHttp2Configuration::serverPushEnabled() const

Returns true if server push was enabled.

Note: By default, QNetworkAccessManager disables server push via the 'SETTINGS' frame.

See also setServerPushEnabled.

### unsigned int QHttp2Configuration::sessionReceiveWindowSize() const

Returns the window size for connection-level flow control. The default value QNetworkAccessManager will be using is 2147483647 octets.

See also setSessionReceiveWindowSize().

### void QHttp2Configuration::setHuffmanCompressionEnabled(bool enable)

If enable is `true`, HPACK compression will additionally compress string using the Huffman coding. Enabled by default.

Note: This parameter only affects 'HEADERS' frames that QNetworkAccessManager is sending.

See also huffmanCompressionEnabled.

### bool QHttp2Configuration::setMaxFrameSize(unsigned int size)

Sets the maximum frame size that QNetworkAccessManager will advertise to the server when sending its initial SETTINGS frame.

Note: While this size is required to be within a range between 16384 and 16777215 inclusive, the actual payload size in frames that carry payload maybe be less than 16384.

Returns `true` on success, `false` otherwise.

See also maxFrameSize().

### void QHttp2Configuration::setServerPushEnabled(bool enable)

If enable is `true`, a remote server can potentially use server push to send responses in advance.

See also serverPushEnabled.

### bool QHttp2Configuration::setSessionReceiveWindowSize(unsigned int size)

Sets the window size for connection-level flow control. size cannot be 0 and must not exceed 2147483647 octets.

Returns `true` on success, `false` otherwise.

See also sessionReceiveWindowSize.

### bool QHttp2Configuration::setStreamReceiveWindowSize(unsigned int size)

Sets the window size for stream-level flow control. size cannot be 0 and must not exceed 2147483647 octets.

Returns `true` on success, `false` otherwise.

See also streamReceiveWindowSize.

### unsigned int QHttp2Configuration::streamReceiveWindowSize() const

Returns the window size for stream-level flow control. The default value QNetworkAccessManager will be using is 214748364 octets (see RFC 7540).

See also setStreamReceiveWindowSize().

### `[noexcept]` void QHttp2Configuration::swap(QHttp2Configuration &other)

Swaps this configuration with the other configuration.

### QHttp2Configuration &QHttp2Configuration::operator=(const QHttp2Configuration &other)

Copy-assigns other to this QHttp2Configuration.

### `[noexcept]` QHttp2Configuration &QHttp2Configuration::operator=(QHttp2Configuration &&other)

Move-assigns other to this QHttp2Configuration.

## Related Non-Members

### `[noexcept]` bool operator!=(const QHttp2Configuration &lhs, const QHttp2Configuration &rhs)

Returns `true` if lhs and rhs do not have the same set of HTTP/2 parameters.

### `[noexcept]` bool operator==(const QHttp2Configuration &lhs, const QHttp2Configuration &rhs)

Returns `true` if lhs and rhs have the same set of HTTP/2 parameters.
