In the new version:
- An experimental implementation of the WebSockets protocol is added, which is not yet well tested and disabled by default.
- improved compliance with the Specifications of the implementations of the HTTP 1.0 / 1.1 protocols.
- redo the code for decoding chunked queries.
- fully rewritten HTTP header formation code when responding.
- Added code for automatic return of errors associated with incorrect chunked queries, too large data size and incorrect title setting Content-Length.
- The accuracy of the task of the timeouts is raised from seconds to milliseconds.
- Internal optimization was carried out, for example, improved memory management, increased hashing efficiency and repetitive analysis of the version of the protocol and the HTTP method.
- more strict verification of the correctness of HTTP titles values is allowed to use the tab symbol in the response header values, but it is prohibited to use a space in the values of the custom headers.
- Added Assembly option ‘–Enable-sanitizers [= Address, undefined, Leak, User-Poison]’ for selective inclusion of problems detecting problems in the code.
- Added file project for assembly in MSVC.
