HTTP2#

The http2 module provides an implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol. It can be accessed using:

const http2 = require('http2');

Core API#

The Core API provides a low-level interface designed specifically around support for HTTP/2 protocol features. It is specifically not designed for compatibility with the existing HTTP/1 module API. However, the Compatibility API is.

The http2 Core API is much more symmetric between client and server than the http API. For instance, most events, like error and socketError, can be emitted either by client-side code or server-side code.

Server-side example#

The following illustrates a simple, plain-text HTTP/2 server using the Core API:

const http2 = require('http2');
const fs = require('fs');

const server = http2.createSecureServer({
  key: fs.readFileSync('localhost-privkey.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('localhost-cert.pem')
});
server.on('error', (err) => console.error(err));
server.on('socketError', (err) => console.error(err));

server.on('stream', (stream, headers) => {
  // stream is a Duplex
  stream.respond({
    'content-type': 'text/html',
    ':status': 200
  });
  stream.end('<h1>Hello World</h1>');
});

server.listen(8443);

To generate the certificate and key for this example, run:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=localhost' \
  -keyout localhost-privkey.pem -out localhost-cert.pem

Client-side example#

The following illustrates an HTTP/2 client:

const http2 = require('http2');
const fs = require('fs');
const client = http2.connect('https://localhost:8443', {
  ca: fs.readFileSync('localhost-cert.pem')
});
client.on('socketError', (err) => console.error(err));
client.on('error', (err) => console.error(err));

const req = client.request({ ':path': '/' });

req.on('response', (headers, flags) => {
  for (const name in headers) {
    console.log(`${name}: ${headers[name]}`);
  }
});

req.setEncoding('utf8');
let data = '';
req.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; });
req.on('end', () => {
  console.log(`\n${data}`);
  client.destroy();
});
req.end();

Class: Http2Session#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends: <EventEmitter>

Instances of the http2.Http2Session class represent an active communications session between an HTTP/2 client and server. Instances of this class are not intended to be constructed directly by user code.

Each Http2Session instance will exhibit slightly different behaviors depending on whether it is operating as a server or a client. The http2session.type property can be used to determine the mode in which an Http2Session is operating. On the server side, user code should rarely have occasion to work with the Http2Session object directly, with most actions typically taken through interactions with either the Http2Server or Http2Stream objects.

Http2Session and Sockets#

Every Http2Session instance is associated with exactly one net.Socket or tls.TLSSocket when it is created. When either the Socket or the Http2Session are destroyed, both will be destroyed.

Because the of the specific serialization and processing requirements imposed by the HTTP/2 protocol, it is not recommended for user code to read data from or write data to a Socket instance bound to a Http2Session. Doing so can put the HTTP/2 session into an indeterminate state causing the session and the socket to become unusable.

Once a Socket has been bound to an Http2Session, user code should rely solely on the API of the Http2Session.

Event: 'close'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'close' event is emitted once the Http2Session has been terminated.

Event: 'connect'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'connect' event is emitted once the Http2Session has been successfully connected to the remote peer and communication may begin.

Note: User code will typically not listen for this event directly.

Event: 'error'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'error' event is emitted when an error occurs during the processing of an Http2Session.

Event: 'frameError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'frameError' event is emitted when an error occurs while attempting to send a frame on the session. If the frame that could not be sent is associated with a specific Http2Stream, an attempt to emit 'frameError' event on the Http2Stream is made.

When invoked, the handler function will receive three arguments:

An integer identifying the frame type.
An integer identifying the error code.
An integer identifying the stream (or 0 if the frame is not associated with a stream).

If the 'frameError' event is associated with a stream, the stream will be closed and destroyed immediately following the 'frameError' event. If the event is not associated with a stream, the Http2Session will be shutdown immediately following the 'frameError' event.

Event: 'goaway'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'goaway' event is emitted when a GOAWAY frame is received. When invoked, the handler function will receive three arguments:

errorCode <number> The HTTP/2 error code specified in the GOAWAY frame.
lastStreamID <number> The ID of the last stream the remote peer successfully processed (or 0 if no ID is specified).
opaqueData <Buffer> If additional opaque data was included in the GOAWAY frame, a Buffer instance will be passed containing that data.

Note: The Http2Session instance will be shutdown automatically when the 'goaway' event is emitted.

Event: 'localSettings'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'localSettings' event is emitted when an acknowledgement SETTINGS frame has been received. When invoked, the handler function will receive a copy of the local settings.

Note: When using http2session.settings() to submit new settings, the modified settings do not take effect until the 'localSettings' event is emitted.

session.settings({ enablePush: false });

session.on('localSettings', (settings) => {
  /** use the new settings **/
});

Event: 'remoteSettings'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'remoteSettings' event is emitted when a new SETTINGS frame is received from the connected peer. When invoked, the handler function will receive a copy of the remote settings.

session.on('remoteSettings', (settings) => {
  /** use the new settings **/
});

Event: 'stream'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'stream' event is emitted when a new Http2Stream is created. When invoked, the handler function will receive a reference to the Http2Stream object, a Headers Object, and numeric flags associated with the creation of the stream.

const http2 = require('http2');
const {
  HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD,
  HTTP2_HEADER_PATH,
  HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS,
  HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE
} = http2.constants;
session.on('stream', (stream, headers, flags) => {
  const method = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD];
  const path = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_PATH];
  // ...
  stream.respond({
    [HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS]: 200,
    [HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE]: 'text/plain'
  });
  stream.write('hello ');
  stream.end('world');
});

On the server side, user code will typically not listen for this event directly, and would instead register a handler for the 'stream' event emitted by the net.Server or tls.Server instances returned by http2.createServer() and http2.createSecureServer(), respectively, as in the example below:

const http2 = require('http2');

// Create a plain-text HTTP/2 server
const server = http2.createServer();

server.on('stream', (stream, headers) => {
  stream.respond({
    'content-type': 'text/html',
    ':status': 200
  });
  stream.end('<h1>Hello World</h1>');
});

server.listen(80);

Event: 'socketError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'socketError' event is emitted when an 'error' is emitted on the Socket instance bound to the Http2Session. If this event is not handled, the 'error' event will be re-emitted on the Socket.

For ServerHttp2Session instances, a 'socketError' event listener is always registered that will, by default, forward the event on to the owning Http2Server instance if no additional handlers are registered.

Event: 'timeout'#

新增于: v8.4.0

After the http2session.setTimeout() method is used to set the timeout period for this Http2Session, the 'timeout' event is emitted if there is no activity on the Http2Session after the configured number of milliseconds.

session.setTimeout(2000);
session.on('timeout', () => { /** .. **/ });

http2session.destroy()#

新增于: v8.4.0

Returns: <undefined>

Immediately terminates the Http2Session and the associated net.Socket or tls.TLSSocket.

http2session.destroyed#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <boolean>

Will be true if this Http2Session instance has been destroyed and must no longer be used, otherwise false.

http2session.localSettings#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <Settings Object>

A prototype-less object describing the current local settings of this Http2Session. The local settings are local to this Http2Session instance.

http2session.pendingSettingsAck#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <boolean>

Indicates whether or not the Http2Session is currently waiting for an acknowledgement for a sent SETTINGS frame. Will be true after calling the http2session.settings() method. Will be false once all sent SETTINGS frames have been acknowledged.

http2session.ping([payload, ]callback)#

新增于: v8.9.3

payload <Buffer> | <TypedArray> | <DataView> Optional ping payload.
callback <Function>
Returns: <boolean>

Sends a PING frame to the connected HTTP/2 peer. A callback function must be provided. The method will return true if the PING was sent, false otherwise.

The maximum number of outstanding (unacknowledged) pings is determined by the maxOutstandingPings configuration option. The default maximum is 10.

If provided, the payload must be a Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView containing 8 bytes of data that will be transmitted with the PING and returned with the ping acknowledgement.

The callback will be invoked with three arguments: an error argument that will be null if the PING was successfully acknowledged, a duration argument that reports the number of milliseconds elapsed since the ping was sent and the acknowledgement was received, and a Buffer containing the 8-byte PING payload.

session.ping(Buffer.from('abcdefgh'), (err, duration, payload) => {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(`Ping acknowledged in ${duration} milliseconds`);
    console.log(`With payload '${payload.toString()}`);
  }
});

If the payload argument is not specified, the default payload will be the 64-bit timestamp (little endian) marking the start of the PING duration.

http2session.remoteSettings#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <Settings Object>

A prototype-less object describing the current remote settings of this Http2Session. The remote settings are set by the connected HTTP/2 peer.

http2session.request(headers[, options])#

新增于: v8.4.0

headers <Headers Object>
options <Object>
- endStream <boolean> true if the Http2Stream writable side should be closed initially, such as when sending a GET request that should not expect a payload body.
- exclusive <boolean> When true and parent identifies a parent Stream, the created stream is made the sole direct dependency of the parent, with all other existing dependents made a dependent of the newly created stream. Default: false
- parent <number> Specifies the numeric identifier of a stream the newly created stream is dependent on.
- weight <number> Specifies the relative dependency of a stream in relation to other streams with the same parent. The value is a number between 1 and 256 (inclusive).
- getTrailers <Function> Callback function invoked to collect trailer headers.
Returns: <ClientHttp2Stream>

For HTTP/2 Client Http2Session instances only, the http2session.request() creates and returns an Http2Stream instance that can be used to send an HTTP/2 request to the connected server.

This method is only available if http2session.type is equal to http2.constants.NGHTTP2_SESSION_CLIENT.

const http2 = require('http2');
const clientSession = http2.connect('https://localhost:1234');
const {
  HTTP2_HEADER_PATH,
  HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS
} = http2.constants;

const req = clientSession.request({ [HTTP2_HEADER_PATH]: '/' });
req.on('response', (headers) => {
  console.log(headers[HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS]);
  req.on('data', (chunk) => { /** .. **/ });
  req.on('end', () => { /** .. **/ });
});

When set, the options.getTrailers() function is called immediately after queuing the last chunk of payload data to be sent. The callback is passed a single object (with a null prototype) that the listener may used to specify the trailing header fields to send to the peer.

Note: The HTTP/1 specification forbids trailers from containing HTTP/2 "pseudo-header" fields (e.g. ':method', ':path', etc). An 'error' event will be emitted if the getTrailers callback attempts to set such header fields.

http2session.setTimeout(msecs, callback)#

新增于: v8.4.0

msecs <number>
callback <Function>
Returns: <undefined>

Used to set a callback function that is called when there is no activity on the Http2Session after msecs milliseconds. The given callback is registered as a listener on the 'timeout' event.

http2session.shutdown(options[, callback])#

新增于: v8.4.0

options <Object>
- graceful <boolean> true to attempt a polite shutdown of the Http2Session.
- errorCode <number> The HTTP/2 error code to return. Note that this is not the same thing as an HTTP Response Status Code. Default: 0x00 (No Error).
- lastStreamID <number> The Stream ID of the last successfully processed Http2Stream on this Http2Session.
- opaqueData <Buffer> | <Uint8Array> A Buffer or Uint8Array instance containing arbitrary additional data to send to the peer upon disconnection. This is used, typically, to provide additional data for debugging failures, if necessary.
callback <Function> A callback that is invoked after the session shutdown has been completed.
Returns: <undefined>

Attempts to shutdown this Http2Session using HTTP/2 defined procedures. If specified, the given callback function will be invoked once the shutdown process has completed.

Note that calling http2session.shutdown() does not destroy the session or tear down the Socket connection. It merely prompts both sessions to begin preparing to cease activity.

During a "graceful" shutdown, the session will first send a GOAWAY frame to the connected peer identifying the last processed stream as 2³²-1. Then, on the next tick of the event loop, a second GOAWAY frame identifying the most recently processed stream identifier is sent. This process allows the remote peer to begin preparing for the connection to be terminated.

session.shutdown({
  graceful: true,
  opaqueData: Buffer.from('add some debugging data here')
}, () => session.destroy());

http2session.socket#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <net.Socket> | <tls.TLSSocket>

Returns a Proxy object that acts as a net.Socket (or tls.TLSSocket) but limits available methods to ones safe to use with HTTP/2.

destroy, emit, end, pause, read, resume, and write will throw an error with code ERR_HTTP2_NO_SOCKET_MANIPULATION. See Http2Session and Sockets for more information.

setTimeout method will be called on this Http2Session.

All other interactions will be routed directly to the socket.

http2session.state#

新增于: v8.4.0

Provides miscellaneous information about the current state of the Http2Session.

Value: <Object>
- effectiveLocalWindowSize <number> The current local (receive) flow control window size for the Http2Session.
- effectiveRecvDataLength <number> The current number of bytes that have been received since the last flow control WINDOW_UPDATE.
- nextStreamID <number> The numeric identifier to be used the next time a new Http2Stream is created by this Http2Session.
- localWindowSize <number> The number of bytes that the remote peer can send without receiving a WINDOW_UPDATE.
- lastProcStreamID <number> The numeric id of the Http2Stream for which a HEADERS or DATA frame was most recently received.
- remoteWindowSize <number> The number of bytes that this Http2Session may send without receiving a WINDOW_UPDATE.
- outboundQueueSize <number> The number of frames currently within the outbound queue for this Http2Session.
- deflateDynamicTableSize <number> The current size in bytes of the outbound header compression state table.
- inflateDynamicTableSize <number> The current size in bytes of the inbound header compression state table.

An object describing the current status of this Http2Session.

http2session.settings(settings)#

新增于: v8.4.0

settings <Settings Object>
Returns <undefined>

Updates the current local settings for this Http2Session and sends a new SETTINGS frame to the connected HTTP/2 peer.

Once called, the http2session.pendingSettingsAck property will be true while the session is waiting for the remote peer to acknowledge the new settings.

Note: The new settings will not become effective until the SETTINGS acknowledgement is received and the 'localSettings' event is emitted. It is possible to send multiple SETTINGS frames while acknowledgement is still pending.

http2session.type#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <number>

The http2session.type will be equal to http2.constants.NGHTTP2_SESSION_SERVER if this Http2Session instance is a server, and http2.constants.NGHTTP2_SESSION_CLIENT if the instance is a client.

Class: Http2Stream#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends: <Duplex>

Each instance of the Http2Stream class represents a bidirectional HTTP/2 communications stream over an Http2Session instance. Any single Http2Session may have up to 2³¹-1 Http2Stream instances over its lifetime.

User code will not construct Http2Stream instances directly. Rather, these are created, managed, and provided to user code through the Http2Session instance. On the server, Http2Stream instances are created either in response to an incoming HTTP request (and handed off to user code via the 'stream' event), or in response to a call to the http2stream.pushStream() method. On the client, Http2Stream instances are created and returned when either the http2session.request() method is called, or in response to an incoming 'push' event.

Note: The Http2Stream class is a base for the ServerHttp2Stream and ClientHttp2Stream classes, each of which are used specifically by either the Server or Client side, respectively.

All Http2Stream instances are Duplex streams. The Writable side of the Duplex is used to send data to the connected peer, while the Readable side is used to receive data sent by the connected peer.

Http2Stream Lifecycle#

Creation#

On the server side, instances of ServerHttp2Stream are created either when:

A new HTTP/2 HEADERS frame with a previously unused stream ID is received;
The http2stream.pushStream() method is called.

On the client side, instances of ClientHttp2Stream are created when the http2session.request() method is called.

Note: On the client, the Http2Stream instance returned by http2session.request() may not be immediately ready for use if the parent Http2Session has not yet been fully established. In such cases, operations called on the Http2Stream will be buffered until the 'ready' event is emitted. User code should rarely, if ever, have need to handle the 'ready' event directly. The ready status of an Http2Stream can be determined by checking the value of http2stream.id. If the value is undefined, the stream is not yet ready for use.

Destruction#

All Http2Stream instances are destroyed either when:

An RST_STREAM frame for the stream is received by the connected peer.
The http2stream.rstStream() methods is called.
The http2stream.destroy() or http2session.destroy() methods are called.

When an Http2Stream instance is destroyed, an attempt will be made to send an RST_STREAM frame will be sent to the connected peer.

When the Http2Stream instance is destroyed, the 'close' event will be emitted. Because Http2Stream is an instance of stream.Duplex, the 'end' event will also be emitted if the stream data is currently flowing. The 'error' event may also be emitted if http2stream.destroy() was called with an Error passed as the first argument.

After the Http2Stream has been destroyed, the http2stream.destroyed property will be true and the http2stream.rstCode property will specify the RST_STREAM error code. The Http2Stream instance is no longer usable once destroyed.

Event: 'aborted'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'aborted' event is emitted whenever a Http2Stream instance is abnormally aborted in mid-communication.

Note: The 'aborted' event will only be emitted if the Http2Stream writable side has not been ended.

Event: 'close'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'close' event is emitted when the Http2Stream is destroyed. Once this event is emitted, the Http2Stream instance is no longer usable.

The listener callback is passed a single argument specifying the HTTP/2 error code specified when closing the stream. If the code is any value other than NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR (0), an 'error' event will also be emitted.

Event: 'error'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'error' event is emitted when an error occurs during the processing of an Http2Stream.

Event: 'frameError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'frameError' event is emitted when an error occurs while attempting to send a frame. When invoked, the handler function will receive an integer argument identifying the frame type, and an integer argument identifying the error code. The Http2Stream instance will be destroyed immediately after the 'frameError' event is emitted.

Event: 'timeout'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'timeout' event is emitted after no activity is received for this 'Http2Stream' within the number of millseconds set using http2stream.setTimeout().

Event: 'trailers'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'trailers' event is emitted when a block of headers associated with trailing header fields is received. The listener callback is passed the Headers Object and flags associated with the headers.

Class: ClientHttp2Stream#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends <Http2Stream>

The ClientHttp2Stream class is an extension of Http2Stream that is used exclusively on HTTP/2 Clients. Http2Stream instances on the client provide events such as 'response' and 'push' that are only relevant on the client.

Event: 'continue'#

新增于: v8.5.0

Emitted when the server sends a 100 Continue status, usually because the request contained Expect: 100-continue. This is an instruction that the client should send the request body.

Event: 'headers'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'headers' event is emitted when an additional block of headers is received for a stream, such as when a block of 1xx informational headers are received. The listener callback is passed the Headers Object and flags associated with the headers.

stream.on('headers', (headers, flags) => {
  console.log(headers);
});

Event: 'push'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'push' event is emitted when response headers for a Server Push stream are received. The listener callback is passed the Headers Object and flags associated with the headers.

stream.on('push', (headers, flags) => {
  console.log(headers);
});

Event: 'response'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'response' event is emitted when a response HEADERS frame has been received for this stream from the connected HTTP/2 server. The listener is invoked with two arguments: an Object containing the received Headers Object, and flags associated with the headers.

For example:

const http2 = require('http2');
const client = http2.connect('https://localhost');
const req = client.request({ ':path': '/' });
req.on('response', (headers, flags) => {
  console.log(headers[':status']);
});

Class: ServerHttp2Stream#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends: <Http2Stream>

The ServerHttp2Stream class is an extension of Http2Stream that is used exclusively on HTTP/2 Servers. Http2Stream instances on the server provide additional methods such as http2stream.pushStream() and http2stream.respond() that are only relevant on the server.

http2stream.additionalHeaders(headers)#

新增于: v8.4.0

headers <Headers Object>
Returns: <undefined>

Sends an additional informational HEADERS frame to the connected HTTP/2 peer.

http2stream.headersSent#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <boolean>

Boolean (read-only). True if headers were sent, false otherwise.

http2stream.pushAllowed#

新增于: v8.4.0

Value: <boolean>

Read-only property mapped to the SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH flag of the remote client's most recent SETTINGS frame. Will be true if the remote peer accepts push streams, false otherwise. Settings are the same for every Http2Stream in the same Http2Session.

http2stream.pushStream(headers[, options], callback)#

新增于: v8.4.0

headers <Headers Object>
options <Object>
- exclusive <boolean> When true and parent identifies a parent Stream, the created stream is made the sole direct dependency of the parent, with all other existing dependents made a dependent of the newly created stream. Default: false
- parent <number> Specifies the numeric identifier of a stream the newly created stream is dependent on.
callback <Function> Callback that is called once the push stream has been initiated.
Returns: <undefined>

Initiates a push stream. The callback is invoked with the new Http2Stream instance created for the push stream.

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  stream.respond({ ':status': 200 });
  stream.pushStream({ ':path': '/' }, (pushStream) => {
    pushStream.respond({ ':status': 200 });
    pushStream.end('some pushed data');
  });
  stream.end('some data');
});

Setting the weight of a push stream is not allowed in the HEADERS frame. Pass a weight value to http2stream.priority with the silent option set to true to enable server-side bandwidth balancing between concurrent streams.

http2stream.respond([headers[, options]])#

  stream.end('some data');
});

Note: The HTTP/1 specification forbids trailers from containing HTTP/2 "pseudo-header" fields (e.g. ':status', ':path', etc). An 'error' event will be emitted if the getTrailers callback attempts to set such header fields.

http2stream.respondWithFD(fd[, headers[, options]])#

新增于: v8.4.0

fd <number> A readable file descriptor.
headers <Headers Object>
options <Object>
- statCheck <Function>
- getTrailers <Function> Callback function invoked to collect trailer headers.
- offset <number> The offset position at which to begin reading.
- length <number> The amount of data from the fd to send.

Initiates a response whose data is read from the given file descriptor. No validation is performed on the given file descriptor. If an error occurs while attempting to read data using the file descriptor, the Http2Stream will be closed using an RST_STREAM frame using the standard INTERNAL_ERROR code.

When used, the Http2Stream object's Duplex interface will be closed automatically.

const http2 = require('http2');
const fs = require('fs');

const fd = fs.openSync('/some/file', 'r');

const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  const stat = fs.fstatSync(fd);
  const headers = {
    'content-length': stat.size,
    'last-modified': stat.mtime.toUTCString(),
    'content-type': 'text/plain'
  };
  stream.respondWithFD(fd, headers);
});
server.on('close', () => fs.closeSync(fd));

The optional options.statCheck function may be specified to give user code an opportunity to set additional content headers based on the fs.Stat details of the given fd. If the statCheck function is provided, the http2stream.respondWithFD() method will perform an fs.fstat() call to collect details on the provided file descriptor.

The offset and length options may be used to limit the response to a specific range subset. This can be used, for instance, to support HTTP Range requests.

const http2 = require('http2');
const fs = require('fs');

const fd = fs.openSync('/some/file', 'r');

const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  const stat = fs.fstatSync(fd);
  const headers = {
    'content-length': stat.size,
    'last-modified': stat.mtime.toUTCString(),
    'content-type': 'text/plain'
  };
  stream.respondWithFD(fd, headers, {
    getTrailers(trailers) {
      trailers['ABC'] = 'some value to send';
    }
  });
});
server.on('close', () => fs.closeSync(fd));

http2stream.respondWithFile(path[, headers[, options]])#

新增于: v8.4.0

path <string> | <Buffer> | <URL>
headers <Headers Object>
options <Object>
- statCheck <Function>
- onError <Function> Callback function invoked in the case of an Error before send.
- getTrailers <Function> Callback function invoked to collect trailer headers.
- offset <number> The offset position at which to begin reading.
- length <number> The amount of data from the fd to send.

Sends a regular file as the response. The path must specify a regular file or an 'error' event will be emitted on the Http2Stream object.

When used, the Http2Stream object's Duplex interface will be closed automatically.

The optional options.statCheck function may be specified to give user code an opportunity to set additional content headers based on the fs.Stat details of the given file:

If an error occurs while attempting to read the file data, the Http2Stream will be closed using an RST_STREAM frame using the standard INTERNAL_ERROR code. If the onError callback is defined it will be called, otherwise the stream will be destroyed.

Example using a file path:

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  function statCheck(stat, headers) {
    headers['last-modified'] = stat.mtime.toUTCString();
  }

  function onError(err) {
    if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
      stream.respond({ ':status': 404 });
    } else {
      stream.respond({ ':status': 500 });
    }
    stream.end();
  }

  stream.respondWithFile('/some/file',
                         { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
                         { statCheck, onError });
});

The options.statCheck function may also be used to cancel the send operation by returning false. For instance, a conditional request may check the stat results to determine if the file has been modified to return an appropriate 304 response:

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  function statCheck(stat, headers) {
    // Check the stat here...
    stream.respond({ ':status': 304 });
    return false; // Cancel the send operation
  }
  stream.respondWithFile('/some/file',
                         { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
                         { statCheck });
});

The content-length header field will be automatically set.

The offset and length options may be used to limit the response to a specific range subset. This can be used, for instance, to support HTTP Range requests.

The options.onError function may also be used to handle all the errors that could happen before the delivery of the file is initiated. The default behavior is to destroy the stream.

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream) => {
  function getTrailers(trailers) {
    trailers['ABC'] = 'some value to send';
  }
  stream.respondWithFile('/some/file',
                         { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
                         { getTrailers });
});

Class: Http2Server#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends: <net.Server>

In Http2Server, there is no 'clientError' event as there is in HTTP1. However, there are 'socketError', 'sessionError', and 'streamError', for error happened on the socket, session, or stream respectively.

Event: 'socketError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'socketError' event is emitted when a 'socketError' event is emitted by an Http2Session associated with the server.

Event: 'sessionError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'sessionError' event is emitted when an 'error' event is emitted by an Http2Session object. If no listener is registered for this event, an 'error' event is emitted.

Event: 'streamError'#

新增于: v8.5.0

socket <http2.ServerHttp2Stream>

If an ServerHttp2Stream emits an 'error' event, it will be forwarded here. The stream will already be destroyed when this event is triggered.

Event: 'stream'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'stream' event is emitted when a 'stream' event has been emitted by an Http2Session associated with the server.

const http2 = require('http2');
const {
  HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD,
  HTTP2_HEADER_PATH,
  HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS,
  HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE
} = http2.constants;

const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream, headers, flags) => {
  const method = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD];
  const path = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_PATH];
  // ...
  stream.respond({
    [HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS]: 200,
    [HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE]: 'text/plain'
  });
  stream.write('hello ');
  stream.end('world');
});

Event: 'request'#

新增于: v8.4.0

request <http2.Http2ServerRequest>
response <http2.Http2ServerResponse>

Emitted each time there is a request. Note that there may be multiple requests per session. See the Compatibility API.

Event: 'timeout'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'timeout' event is emitted when there is no activity on the Server for a given number of milliseconds set using http2server.setTimeout().

Event: 'checkContinue'#

新增于: v8.5.0

request <http2.Http2ServerRequest>
response <http2.Http2ServerResponse>

If a 'request' listener is registered or http2.createServer() is supplied a callback function, the 'checkContinue' event is emitted each time a request with an HTTP Expect: 100-continue is received. If this event is not listened for, the server will automatically respond with a status 100 Continue as appropriate.

Handling this event involves calling response.writeContinue() if the client should continue to send the request body, or generating an appropriate HTTP response (e.g. 400 Bad Request) if the client should not continue to send the request body.

Note that when this event is emitted and handled, the 'request' event will not be emitted.

Class: Http2SecureServer#

新增于: v8.4.0

Extends: <tls.Server>

Event: 'sessionError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'sessionError' event is emitted when an 'error' event is emitted by an Http2Session object. If no listener is registered for this event, an 'error' event is emitted on the Http2Session instance instead.

Event: 'socketError'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'socketError' event is emitted when a 'socketError' event is emitted by an Http2Session associated with the server.

Event: 'unknownProtocol'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'unknownProtocol' event is emitted when a connecting client fails to negotiate an allowed protocol (i.e. HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1). The event handler receives the socket for handling. If no listener is registered for this event, the connection is terminated. See the Compatibility API.

Event: 'stream'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'stream' event is emitted when a 'stream' event has been emitted by an Http2Session associated with the server.

const http2 = require('http2');
const {
  HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD,
  HTTP2_HEADER_PATH,
  HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS,
  HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE
} = http2.constants;

const options = getOptionsSomehow();

const server = http2.createSecureServer(options);
server.on('stream', (stream, headers, flags) => {
  const method = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_METHOD];
  const path = headers[HTTP2_HEADER_PATH];
  // ...
  stream.respond({
    [HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS]: 200,
    [HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE]: 'text/plain'
  });
  stream.write('hello ');
  stream.end('world');
});

Event: 'request'#

新增于: v8.4.0

request <http2.Http2ServerRequest>
response <http2.Http2ServerResponse>

Emitted each time there is a request. Note that there may be multiple requests per session. See the Compatibility API.

Event: 'timeout'#

新增于: v8.4.0

Event: 'checkContinue'#

新增于: v8.5.0

request <http2.Http2ServerRequest>
response <http2.Http2ServerResponse>

If a 'request' listener is registered or http2.createSecureServer() is supplied a callback function, the 'checkContinue' event is emitted each time a request with an HTTP Expect: 100-continue is received. If this event is not listened for, the server will automatically respond with a status 100 Continue as appropriate.

Note that when this event is emitted and handled, the 'request' event will not be emitted.

http2.getDefaultSettings()#

新增于: v8.4.0

Returns: <Settings Object>

Returns an object containing the default settings for an Http2Session instance. This method returns a new object instance every time it is called so instances returned may be safely modified for use.

http2.getPackedSettings(settings)#

新增于: v8.4.0

settings <Settings Object>
Returns: <Buffer>

Returns a Buffer instance containing serialized representation of the given HTTP/2 settings as specified in the HTTP/2 specification. This is intended for use with the HTTP2-Settings header field.

const http2 = require('http2');

const packed = http2.getPackedSettings({ enablePush: false });

console.log(packed.toString('base64'));
// Prints: AAIAAAAA

http2.getUnpackedSettings(buf)#

新增于: v8.4.0

buf <Buffer> | <Uint8Array> The packed settings.
Returns: <Settings Object>

Returns a Settings Object containing the deserialized settings from the given Buffer as generated by http2.getPackedSettings().

Headers Object#

Headers are represented as own-properties on JavaScript objects. The property keys will be serialized to lower-case. Property values should be strings (if they are not they will be coerced to strings) or an Array of strings (in order to send more than one value per header field).

For example:

const headers = {
  ':status': '200',
  'content-type': 'text-plain',
  'ABC': ['has', 'more', 'than', 'one', 'value']
};

stream.respond(headers);

Note: Header objects passed to callback functions will have a null prototype. This means that normal JavaScript object methods such as Object.prototype.toString() and Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() will not work.

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream, headers) => {
  console.log(headers[':path']);
  console.log(headers.ABC);
});

Settings Object#

版本历史

版本	变更
v8.9.3	The `maxHeaderListSize` setting is now strictly enforced.
v8.4.0	新增于: v8.4.0

The http2.getDefaultSettings(), http2.getPackedSettings(), http2.createServer(), http2.createSecureServer(), http2session.settings(), http2session.localSettings, and http2session.remoteSettings APIs either return or receive as input an object that defines configuration settings for an Http2Session object. These objects are ordinary JavaScript objects containing the following properties.

headerTableSize <number> Specifies the maximum number of bytes used for header compression. Default: 4,096 octets. The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is 2³²-1.
enablePush <boolean> Specifies true if HTTP/2 Push Streams are to be permitted on the Http2Session instances.
initialWindowSize <number> Specifies the senders initial window size for stream-level flow control. Default: 65,535 bytes. The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is 2³²-1.
maxFrameSize <number> Specifies the size of the largest frame payload. Default: 16,384 bytes. The minimum allowed value is 16,384. The maximum allowed value is 2²⁴-1.
maxConcurrentStreams <number> Specifies the maximum number of concurrent streams permitted on an Http2Session. There is no default value which implies, at least theoretically, 2³¹-1 streams may be open concurrently at any given time in an Http2Session. The minimum value is
1. The maximum allowed value is 2³¹-1.
maxHeaderListSize <number> Specifies the maximum size (uncompressed octets) of header list that will be accepted. The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is 2³²-1. Default: 65535.

All additional properties on the settings object are ignored.

Using `options.selectPadding`#

When options.paddingStrategy is equal to http2.constants.PADDING_STRATEGY_CALLBACK, the HTTP/2 implementation will consult the options.selectPadding callback function, if provided, to determine the specific amount of padding to use per HEADERS and DATA frame.

The options.selectPadding function receives two numeric arguments, frameLen and maxFrameLen and must return a number N such that frameLen <= N <= maxFrameLen.

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer({
  paddingStrategy: http2.constants.PADDING_STRATEGY_CALLBACK,
  selectPadding(frameLen, maxFrameLen) {
    return maxFrameLen;
  }
});

Note: The options.selectPadding function is invoked once for every HEADERS and DATA frame. This has a definite noticeable impact on performance.

Error Handling#

There are several types of error conditions that may arise when using the http2 module:

Validation Errors occur when an incorrect argument, option, or setting value is passed in. These will always be reported by a synchronous throw.

State Errors occur when an action is attempted at an incorrect time (for instance, attempting to send data on a stream after it has closed). These will be reported using either a synchronous throw or via an 'error' event on the Http2Stream, Http2Session or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending on where and when the error occurs.

Internal Errors occur when an HTTP/2 session fails unexpectedly. These will be reported via an 'error' event on the Http2Session or HTTP/2 Server objects.

Protocol Errors occur when various HTTP/2 protocol constraints are violated. These will be reported using either a synchronous throw or via an 'error' event on the Http2Stream, Http2Session or HTTP/2 Server objects, depending on where and when the error occurs.

Invalid character handling in header names and values#

The HTTP/2 implementation applies stricter handling of invalid characters in HTTP header names and values than the HTTP/1 implementation.

Header field names are case-insensitive and are transmitted over the wire strictly as lower-case strings. The API provided by Node.js allows header names to be set as mixed-case strings (e.g. Content-Type) but will convert those to lower-case (e.g. content-type) upon transmission.

Header field-names must only contain one or more of the following ASCII characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, ., ^, _, ` (backtick), |, and ~.

Using invalid characters within an HTTP header field name will cause the stream to be closed with a protocol error being reported.

Header field values are handled with more leniency but should not contain new-line or carriage return characters and should be limited to US-ASCII characters, per the requirements of the HTTP specification.

Push streams on the client#

To receive pushed streams on the client, set a listener for the 'stream' event on the ClientHttp2Session:

const http2 = require('http2');

const client = http2.connect('http://localhost');

client.on('stream', (pushedStream, requestHeaders) => {
  pushedStream.on('push', (responseHeaders) => {
    // process response headers
  });
  pushedStream.on('data', (chunk) => { /* handle pushed data */ });
});

const req = client.request({ ':path': '/' });

Supporting the CONNECT method#

The CONNECT method is used to allow an HTTP/2 server to be used as a proxy for TCP/IP connections.

A simple TCP Server:

const net = require('net');

const server = net.createServer((socket) => {
  let name = '';
  socket.setEncoding('utf8');
  socket.on('data', (chunk) => name += chunk);
  socket.on('end', () => socket.end(`hello ${name}`));
});

server.listen(8000);

An HTTP/2 CONNECT proxy:

const http2 = require('http2');
const net = require('net');
const { URL } = require('url');

const proxy = http2.createServer();
proxy.on('stream', (stream, headers) => {
  if (headers[':method'] !== 'CONNECT') {
    // Only accept CONNECT requests
    stream.rstWithRefused();
    return;
  }
  const auth = new URL(`tcp://${headers[':authority']}`);
  // It's a very good idea to verify that hostname and port are
  // things this proxy should be connecting to.
  const socket = net.connect(auth.port, auth.hostname, () => {
    stream.respond();
    socket.pipe(stream);
    stream.pipe(socket);
  });
  socket.on('error', (error) => {
    stream.rstStream(http2.constants.NGHTTP2_CONNECT_ERROR);
  });
});

proxy.listen(8001);

An HTTP/2 CONNECT client:

const http2 = require('http2');

const client = http2.connect('http://localhost:8001');

// Must not specify the ':path' and ':scheme' headers
// for CONNECT requests or an error will be thrown.
const req = client.request({
  ':method': 'CONNECT',
  ':authority': `localhost:${port}`
});

req.on('response', (headers) => {
  console.log(headers[http2.constants.HTTP2_HEADER_STATUS]);
});
let data = '';
req.setEncoding('utf8');
req.on('data', (chunk) => data += chunk);
req.on('end', () => {
  console.log(`The server says: ${data}`);
  client.destroy();
});
req.end('Jane');

The Compatibility API has the goal of providing a similar developer experience of HTTP/1 when using HTTP/2, making it possible to develop applications that supports both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2. This API targets only the public API of the HTTP/1, however many modules uses internal methods or state, and those are not supported as it is a completely different implementation.

The following example creates an HTTP/2 server using the compatibility API:

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  res.setHeader('X-Foo', 'bar');
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.end('ok');
});

In order to create a mixed HTTPS and HTTP/2 server, refer to the ALPN negotiation section. Upgrading from non-tls HTTP/1 servers is not supported.

The HTTP2 compatibility API is composed of Http2ServerRequest and Http2ServerResponse. They aim at API compatibility with HTTP/1, but they do not hide the differences between the protocols. As an example, the status message for HTTP codes is ignored.

ALPN negotiation#

ALPN negotiation allows to support both HTTPS and HTTP/2 over the same socket. The req and res objects can be either HTTP/1 or HTTP/2, and an application must restrict itself to the public API of HTTP/1, and detect if it is possible to use the more advanced features of HTTP/2.

The following example creates a server that supports both protocols:

const { createSecureServer } = require('http2');
const { readFileSync } = require('fs');

const cert = readFileSync('./cert.pem');
const key = readFileSync('./key.pem');

const server = createSecureServer(
  { cert, key, allowHTTP1: true },
  onRequest
).listen(4443);

function onRequest(req, res) {
  // detects if it is a HTTPS request or HTTP/2
  const { socket: { alpnProtocol } } = req.httpVersion === '2.0' ?
    req.stream.session : req;
  res.writeHead(200, { 'content-type': 'application/json' });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({
    alpnProtocol,
    httpVersion: req.httpVersion
  }));
}

The 'request' event works identically on both HTTPS and HTTP/2.

Class: http2.Http2ServerRequest#

新增于: v8.4.0

A Http2ServerRequest object is created by http2.Server or http2.SecureServer and passed as the first argument to the 'request' event. It may be used to access a request status, headers and data.

It implements the Readable Stream interface, as well as the following additional events, methods, and properties.

Event: 'aborted'#

新增于: v8.4.0

The 'aborted' event is emitted whenever a Http2ServerRequest instance is abnormally aborted in mid-communication.

Note: The 'aborted' event will only be emitted if the Http2ServerRequest writable side has not been ended.

Event: 'close'#

新增于: v8.4.0

Indicates that the underlying Http2Stream was closed. Just like 'end', this event occurs only once per response.

request.destroy([error])#

新增于: v8.4.0

error <Error>

Calls destroy() on the Http2Stream that received the Http2ServerRequest. If error is provided, an 'error' event is emitted and error is passed as an argument to any listeners on the event.

It does nothing if the stream was already destroyed.

request.headers#

新增于: v8.4.0

<Object>

The request/response headers object.

Key-value pairs of header names and values. Header names are lower-cased. Example:

// Prints something like:
//
// { 'user-agent': 'curl/7.22.0',
//   host: '127.0.0.1:8000',
//   accept: '*/*' }
console.log(request.headers);

See Headers Object.

Note: In HTTP/2, the request path, host name, protocol, and method are represented as special headers prefixed with the : character (e.g. ':path'). These special headers will be included in the request.headers object. Care must be taken not to inadvertently modify these special headers or errors may occur. For instance, removing all headers from the request will cause errors to occur:

removeAllHeaders(request.headers);
assert(request.url);   // Fails because the :path header has been removed

request.httpVersion#

新增于: v8.4.0

<string>

In case of server request, the HTTP version sent by the client. In the case of client response, the HTTP version of the connected-to server. Returns '2.0'.

Also message.httpVersionMajor is the first integer and message.httpVersionMinor is the second.

request.method#

新增于: v8.4.0

<string>

The request method as a string. Read only. Example: 'GET', 'DELETE'.

request.rawHeaders#

新增于: v8.4.0

<Array>

The raw request/response headers list exactly as they were received.

Note that the keys and values are in the same list. It is not a list of tuples. So, the even-numbered offsets are key values, and the odd-numbered offsets are the associated values.

Header names are not lowercased, and duplicates are not merged.

// Prints something like:
//
// [ 'user-agent',
//   'this is invalid because there can be only one',
//   'User-Agent',
//   'curl/7.22.0',
//   'Host',
//   '127.0.0.1:8000',
//   'ACCEPT',
//   '*/*' ]
console.log(request.rawHeaders);

request.rawTrailers#

新增于: v8.4.0

<Array>

The raw request/response trailer keys and values exactly as they were received. Only populated at the 'end' event.

request.setTimeout(msecs, callback)#

新增于: v8.4.0

msecs <number>
callback <Function>

Sets the Http2Stream's timeout value to msecs. If a callback is provided, then it is added as a listener on the 'timeout' event on the response object.

If no 'timeout' listener is added to the request, the response, or the server, then Http2Streams are destroyed when they time out. If a handler is assigned to the request, the response, or the server's 'timeout' events, timed out sockets must be handled explicitly.

Returns request.

request.socket#

新增于: v8.4.0

<net.Socket> | <tls.TLSSocket>

Returns a Proxy object that acts as a net.Socket (or tls.TLSSocket) but applies getters, setters, and methods based on HTTP/2 logic.

destroyed, readable, and writable properties will be retrieved from and set on request.stream.

destroy, emit, end, on and once methods will be called on request.stream.

setTimeout method will be called on request.stream.session.

pause, read, resume, and write will throw an error with code ERR_HTTP2_NO_SOCKET_MANIPULATION. See Http2Session and Sockets for more information.

All other interactions will be routed directly to the socket. With TLS support, use request.socket.getPeerCertificate() to obtain the client's authentication details.

request.stream#

新增于: v8.4.0

<http2.Http2Stream>

The Http2Stream object backing the request.

request.trailers#

新增于: v8.4.0

<Object>

The request/response trailers object. Only populated at the 'end' event.

request.url#

新增于: v8.4.0

<string>

Request URL string. This contains only the URL that is present in the actual HTTP request. If the request is:

GET /status?name=ryan HTTP/1.1\r\n
Accept: text/plain\r\n
\r\n

Then request.url will be:

'/status?name=ryan'

To parse the url into its parts require('url').parse(request.url) can be used. Example:

$ node
> require('url').parse('/status?name=ryan')
Url {
  protocol: null,
  slashes: null,
  auth: null,
  host: null,
  port: null,
  hostname: null,
  hash: null,
  search: '?name=ryan',
  query: 'name=ryan',
  pathname: '/status',
  path: '/status?name=ryan',
  href: '/status?name=ryan' }

To extract the parameters from the query string, the require('querystring').parse function can be used, or true can be passed as the second argument to require('url').parse. Example:

$ node
> require('url').parse('/status?name=ryan', true)
Url {
  protocol: null,
  slashes: null,
  auth: null,
  host: null,
  port: null,
  hostname: null,
  hash: null,
  search: '?name=ryan',
  query: { name: 'ryan' },
  pathname: '/status',
  path: '/status?name=ryan',
  href: '/status?name=ryan' }

Class: http2.Http2ServerResponse#

新增于: v8.4.0

This object is created internally by an HTTP server--not by the user. It is passed as the second parameter to the 'request' event.

The response implements, but does not inherit from, the Writable Stream interface. This is an EventEmitter with the following events:

Event: 'close'#

新增于: v8.4.0

Indicates that the underlying Http2Stream was terminated before response.end() was called or able to flush.

Event: 'finish'#

新增于: v8.4.0

Emitted when the response has been sent. More specifically, this event is emitted when the last segment of the response headers and body have been handed off to the HTTP/2 multiplexing for transmission over the network. It does not imply that the client has received anything yet.

After this event, no more events will be emitted on the response object.

response.addTrailers(headers)#

新增于: v8.4.0

headers <Object>

This method adds HTTP trailing headers (a header but at the end of the message) to the response.

Attempting to set a header field name or value that contains invalid characters will result in a TypeError being thrown.

response.connection#

新增于: v8.4.0

<net.Socket> | <tls.TLSSocket>

See response.socket.

response.end([data][, encoding][, callback])#

新增于: v8.4.0

data <string> | <Buffer>
encoding <string>
callback <Function>

This method signals to the server that all of the response headers and body have been sent; that server should consider this message complete. The method, response.end(), MUST be called on each response.

If data is specified, it is equivalent to calling response.write(data, encoding) followed by response.end(callback).

If callback is specified, it will be called when the response stream is finished.

response.finished#

新增于: v8.4.0

<boolean>

Boolean value that indicates whether the response has completed. Starts as false. After response.end() executes, the value will be true.

response.getHeader(name)#

新增于: v8.4.0

name <string>
Returns: <string>

Reads out a header that has already been queued but not sent to the client. Note that the name is case insensitive.

Example:

const contentType = response.getHeader('content-type');

response.getHeaderNames()#

新增于: v8.4.0

Returns: <Array>

Returns an array containing the unique names of the current outgoing headers. All header names are lowercase.

Example:

response.setHeader('Foo', 'bar');
response.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz']);

const headerNames = response.getHeaderNames();
// headerNames === ['foo', 'set-cookie']

response.getHeaders()#

新增于: v8.4.0

Returns: <Object>

Returns a shallow copy of the current outgoing headers. Since a shallow copy is used, array values may be mutated without additional calls to various header-related http module methods. The keys of the returned object are the header names and the values are the respective header values. All header names are lowercase.

Note: The object returned by the response.getHeaders() method does not prototypically inherit from the JavaScript Object. This means that typical Object methods such as obj.toString(), obj.hasOwnProperty(), and others are not defined and will not work.

Example:

response.setHeader('Foo', 'bar');
response.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz']);

const headers = response.getHeaders();
// headers === { foo: 'bar', 'set-cookie': ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz'] }

response.hasHeader(name)#

新增于: v8.4.0

name <string>
Returns: <boolean>

Returns true if the header identified by name is currently set in the outgoing headers. Note that the header name matching is case-insensitive.

Example:

const hasContentType = response.hasHeader('content-type');

response.headersSent#

新增于: v8.4.0

<boolean>

Boolean (read-only). True if headers were sent, false otherwise.

response.removeHeader(name)#

新增于: v8.4.0

name <string>

Removes a header that has been queued for implicit sending.

Example:

response.removeHeader('Content-Encoding');

response.sendDate#

新增于: v8.4.0

<boolean>

When true, the Date header will be automatically generated and sent in the response if it is not already present in the headers. Defaults to true.

This should only be disabled for testing; HTTP requires the Date header in responses.

response.setHeader(name, value)#

新增于: v8.4.0

name <string>
value <string> | <string[]>

Sets a single header value for implicit headers. If this header already exists in the to-be-sent headers, its value will be replaced. Use an array of strings here to send multiple headers with the same name.

Example:

response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');

response.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['type=ninja', 'language=javascript']);

Attempting to set a header field name or value that contains invalid characters will result in a TypeError being thrown.

When headers have been set with response.setHeader(), they will be merged with any headers passed to response.writeHead(), with the headers passed to response.writeHead() given precedence.

// returns content-type = text/plain
const server = http2.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  res.setHeader('X-Foo', 'bar');
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.end('ok');
});

response.setTimeout(msecs[, callback])#

新增于: v8.4.0

msecs <number>
callback <Function>

Sets the Http2Stream's timeout value to msecs. If a callback is provided, then it is added as a listener on the 'timeout' event on the response object.

Returns response.

response.socket#

新增于: v8.4.0

<net.Socket> | <tls.TLSSocket>

Returns a Proxy object that acts as a net.Socket (or tls.TLSSocket) but applies getters, setters, and methods based on HTTP/2 logic.

destroyed, readable, and writable properties will be retrieved from and set on response.stream.

destroy, emit, end, on and once methods will be called on response.stream.

setTimeout method will be called on response.stream.session.

pause, read, resume, and write will throw an error with code ERR_HTTP2_NO_SOCKET_MANIPULATION. See Http2Session and Sockets for more information.

All other interactions will be routed directly to the socket.

Example:

const http2 = require('http2');
const server = http2.createServer((req, res) => {
  const ip = req.socket.remoteAddress;
  const port = req.socket.remotePort;
  res.end(`Your IP address is ${ip} and your source port is ${port}.`);
}).listen(3000);

response.statusCode#

新增于: v8.4.0

<number>

When using implicit headers (not calling response.writeHead() explicitly), this property controls the status code that will be sent to the client when the headers get flushed.

Example:

response.statusCode = 404;

After response header was sent to the client, this property indicates the status code which was sent out.

response.statusMessage#

新增于: v8.4.0

<string>

Status message is not supported by HTTP/2 (RFC7540 8.1.2.4). It returns an empty string.

response.stream#

新增于: v8.4.0

<http2.Http2Stream>

The Http2Stream object backing the response.

response.write(chunk[, encoding][, callback])#

新增于: v8.4.0

chunk <string> | <Buffer>
encoding <string>
callback <Function>
Returns: <boolean>

If this method is called and response.writeHead() has not been called, it will switch to implicit header mode and flush the implicit headers.

This sends a chunk of the response body. This method may be called multiple times to provide successive parts of the body.

Note that in the http module, the response body is omitted when the request is a HEAD request. Similarly, the 204 and 304 responses must not include a message body.

chunk can be a string or a buffer. If chunk is a string, the second parameter specifies how to encode it into a byte stream. By default the encoding is 'utf8'. callback will be called when this chunk of data is flushed.

Note: This is the raw HTTP body and has nothing to do with higher-level multi-part body encodings that may be used.

The first time response.write() is called, it will send the buffered header information and the first chunk of the body to the client. The second time response.write() is called, Node.js assumes data will be streamed, and sends the new data separately. That is, the response is buffered up to the first chunk of the body.

Returns true if the entire data was flushed successfully to the kernel buffer. Returns false if all or part of the data was queued in user memory. 'drain' will be emitted when the buffer is free again.

response.writeContinue()#

新增于: v8.4.0

Sends a status 100 Continue to the client, indicating that the request body should be sent. See the 'checkContinue' event on Http2Server and Http2SecureServer.

response.writeHead(statusCode[, statusMessage][, headers])#

新增于: v8.4.0

statusCode <number>
statusMessage <string>
headers <Object>

Sends a response header to the request. The status code is a 3-digit HTTP status code, like 404. The last argument, headers, are the response headers.

For compatibility with HTTP/1, a human-readable statusMessage may be passed as the second argument. However, because the statusMessage has no meaning within HTTP/2, the argument will have no effect and a process warning will be emitted.

Example:

const body = 'hello world';
response.writeHead(200, {
  'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body),
  'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });

Note that Content-Length is given in bytes not characters. The Buffer.byteLength() API may be used to determine the number of bytes in a given encoding. On outbound messages, Node.js does not check if Content-Length and the length of the body being transmitted are equal or not. However, when receiving messages, Node.js will automatically reject messages when the Content-Length does not match the actual payload size.

This method may be called at most one time on a message before response.end() is called.

If response.write() or response.end() are called before calling this, the implicit/mutable headers will be calculated and call this function.

When headers have been set with response.setHeader(), they will be merged with any headers passed to response.writeHead(), with the headers passed to response.writeHead() given precedence.

// returns content-type = text/plain
const server = http2.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  res.setHeader('X-Foo', 'bar');
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.end('ok');
});

Attempting to set a header field name or value that contains invalid characters will result in a TypeError being thrown.

response.createPushResponse(headers, callback)#

新增于: v8.4.0

Call http2stream.pushStream() with the given headers, and wraps the given newly created Http2Stream on Http2ServerRespose.

The callback will be called with an error with code ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_CLOSED if the stream is closed.
