Struct hpack::decoder::Decoder

pub struct Decoder<'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

Decodes headers encoded using HPACK.

For now, incremental decoding is not supported, i.e. it is necessary to pass in the entire encoded representation of all headers to the decoder, rather than processing it piece-by-piece.

Methods

impl<'a> Decoder<'a>

Represents a decoder of HPACK encoded headers. Maintains the state necessary to correctly decode subsequent HPACK blocks.

pub fn new() -> Decoder<'a>

Creates a new Decoder with all settings set to default values.

pub fn set_max_table_size(&mut self, new_max_size: usize)

Sets a new maximum dynamic table size for the decoder.

pub fn decode(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> DecoderResult

Decode the header block found in the given buffer.

The buffer should represent the entire block that should be decoded. For example, in HTTP/2, all continuation frames need to be concatenated to a single buffer before passing them to the decoder.
