Victor Julien	40af9aad02	streaming: improve error handling ... When memory allocations happened in HTTP body and general file tracking, malloc/realloc errors (most likely in the form of memcap reached conditions) could lead to an endless loop in the buffer grow logic. This patch implements proper error handling for all Append/Insert functions for the streaming API, and it explicitly enables compiler warnings if the results are ignored.	10 years ago
Victor Julien	81b2984c4e	streaming: buffer API ... Add a new API to store data from streaming sources, like HTTP body processing or TCP data. Currently most of the code uses a pattern of list of data chunks (e.g. TcpSegment) that is reassembled into a large buffer on-demand. The Streaming Buffer API changes the logic to store the data in reassembled form from the start, with the segments/chunks pointing to the reassembled data. The main buffer storing the data slides forward, automatically or manually. The *NoTrack calls allows for a segmentless mode of operation. This approach has two main advantages: 1. accessing the reassembled data is virtually cost-free 2. reduction of allocations and memory management	10 years ago
