Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
1. Overview
There have been several problems pointed out with the use of the gzip
compressor in SPDY [SPDY]. The biggest of these problems is that it
is possible for a smart attacker to inject content into the
compressor, and then to test hypotheses about the prior contents of
the compressor by examining the output size after each such content
injection. The other issue is that gzip often consumes more CPU than
many would like, especially in situations where one is doing forward
or reverse proxying. The compressor proposed here intends to solve
the first issue and significantly mitigate the second, while
providing compression that is not too much worse than gzip.
2. How it works
The 'delta' compressor works by examining the difference between what
it is told to compress and the state that it has stored about what it
knows about the past. The previous state is encoded in two separate
pieces: An LRU of key-value pairs which the compressor 'saw' in the
past (including a static group of key-value pairs which every
compressor is assumed to have seen), and a set of references into the
LRU which is called a header-group, which the compressor uses to
determine what has changed between the current input and the past
input.
It then encodes this difference by changing the header-group by
adding references to stored key-values, and it removes references to
key-values which should no longer be part of the output. If a key-
value exists in the to-be-compressed data, but is not present in the
LRU, then the LRU is modified by having new data added. When new
data is added, a reference to that new data is added to the header-
group. The mechanism of adding new data takes two forms: Adding an
entire new key-value, or by referring to the key part of a stored
key-value, and providing a new value.
When the LRU has reached its size limit, The oldest elements are
popped off the end, and, any reference to that element is removed.
All keys are assumed to have been lowercased, and if not, will be.
3. Definitions
user-agent: The program or device which a human interacts with
directly and which typically initiates the transport layer
connection or session
Peon Expires September 19, 2013 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
client: Synonym for user-agent
server: The computer or device which typically accepts a connection,
stores, and serves data
proxy: An entity acting as a server for the client, and a client for
the server
header: A complete set of key-value pairs, either request-headers,
or response-headers as defined in RFC2616 [RFC2616] section 5.3
or 6.2, respectively
4. Header pre-processing
4.1. Mapping the first-line
Before the data is input into the compressor (which works only on
key-value pairs), the first line of the HTTP message must be made
into key-value pairs.
Requests are mapped as follows:
"METHOD PATH VERSION" becomes:
[
(":method", "METHOD"),
(":path", "PATH"),
(":version", "VERSION")
]
Responses are mapped as follows:
"VERSION STATUS-CODE PHRASE" becomes:
[
(":version", "VERSION"),
(":status", "STATUS-CODE"),
(":status-text", "PHRASE")
]
4.2. Mapping HTTP key-values
The rest of the HTTP key-values are simply added to the key-values as
mapped from the first-line, with the keys made to be all lowercase,
and with cookies split into crumbs by breaking apart the cookie
string on semicolons and treating each as if it were a separate
header-line.
As an example, the following key-value pairs:
Peon Expires September 19, 2013 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
Host: www.foo.com
User-Agent: Browser/1.x (FooOS; Bar) baz
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Cookie: foo;bar; baz
become:
[
("host", "www.foo.com")
("user-agent", "Browser/1.x (FooOS; Bar) baz"),
("accept-language", "en-US,en;q=0.5"),
("cookie", "foo"),
("cookie", "bar"),
("cookie", "baz")
]
5. Compressor and Decompressor State
The header delta de/compression scheme consists of a state machine
which executes opcodes, emits output, and modifies internal,
persistent, state. The de/compressor state consists of:
static_entries:
a number of static (unchanging) entries consisting of key-value
pairs. These are listed in appendix A.
e.g. static_entries=[ ("key1", "val1"), ("key2", "val2), ...]
an lru-idx references into the static key-value pairs if the
value of the lru-idx is < len(static-entries)
static_entries[lru_idx]
lru:
a queue of key-value pairs
e.g. lru = deque([(RefCntString("key1"), "val1"),
(RefCntstring("key2", "val2")), ...])
an lru-idx references a value in the lru if the lru-idx is >=
len(static_entries). The mapping of an lru-idx to a offset
from the front of the LRU is as follows:
if lru.first_idx > lru_idx:
queue_idx = 2**16 - lru.first_idx + lru_idx - len(static_entries)
else:
queue_idx = lru_idx - lru.first_idx
The oldest elements of the LRU are popped before inserting a
new value if either:
Peon Expires September 19, 2013 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
Adding a new entry would exceed the maximum allowable
length
Adding a new entry would exceed the maximum allowable
byte length
header_groups: (default-size: 1)(max: 255)
a map of group-id to set of lru-idx. An lru-idx is a reference
into either the static key-value pairs or the lru's key-value
pairs. The maximum number of header-groups is limited by
default to 1, unless a higher-level of the protocol changes
this. The maximum number of header_groups is 255. It is not
currently allowed to assert that there are '0' allowed header
groups.
e.g. header_groups = {0: set([1,4,6,15122]), 1: set([6,76,3],
...)}
lru.first_idx:
an int indicating the lru-idx of the oldest element in the
queue of key-value pairs
max_byte_size: (default: 4k) (max:2**32-1)
an int indicating the maximum allowable amount of storage used
by the strings of the queue's key-value pairs. Unless a
higher-level of the protocol changes this, this is assumed to
be 4k
max_lru_entries: (default: 1024) (max:2**16-1)
an int indicating the maximum allowable number of key-value
pairs in the queue. Unless a higher-level of the protocol
changes this, this is assumed to be 1024
lru.length:
an int indicating the total number of key-value pairs currently
stored in the lru
lru.stored_byte_size:
an int indicating the total number of bytes of storage used by
strings in the queue. Note that the bytes in a ref-counted
string are counted only once, regardless of how many times that
string is referenced.
6. Header Block Wire Format
The decompressor is fed a header-block which may span multiple
HEADERs frames by the HTTP/2 framing layer, the format of which
follows:

All ints are in network byte order.

7. String Encoding
Strings are huffman encoded [HUFF] using a canonical huffman coding
[CANON]. In the future, the opcode byte will be permuted to allow
alternate encodings, such as raw text, binary, or perhaps other
options.
The huffman code is constructed by taking the frequency-tables in
Appendix B, adding 1 to all entries, then generating a canonical
huffman coding. If/while this results in a code with a max-length of
greater than 32 bits, divide all frequencies by two, capping the
minimum frequency at '1', and regenerate until the max code-length is
32 bits or less. The EOF symbol, when decoded, is represented as
256, which allows for any 8-bit value to be encoded and decoded.
8. Operations
For all operations below, the 's' prefix stands for 'State
modifying', whereas the 'e' prefix stands for 'Ephemeral', and does
not modify state.
The *kvsto family of opcodes encode a new key-value entirely by
providing a new string for key and a new string for val.
The *clone family of opcodes encode a backreference to the key part
of a pre-existing key-value from either the static-entries or the
lru, and a new string value.
The *toggl family of opcodes encode a backreference to an entire key-
value from either the static-entries, or the lru.
The *trang family of opcodes is the same as the toggle family, except
that it encodes a range of indices instead of a single index
With four families of opcodes, and two variations (ephemeral vs
state-changing) per family, we have eight valid opcodes:
skvsto: (Stateful Key-Value STOre)
state-modifying kvsto. The new key and value are inserted into
the headers and also inserted into the LRU.
ekvsto: (Ephemeral Key-Value STOre)
ephemeral, non-state-modifying kvsto. The new key and value
are inserted into the headers but the LRU is untouched.
Peon Expires September 19, 2013 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
sclone (Stateful key CLONE):
state-modifying clone. The key part of the referenced key-
value is paired with the new value and inserted into the
headers and also inserted into the LRU
eclone (Ephemeral key CLONE):
ephemeral, non-state-modifying clone. The key part of the
referenced key-value is paired with the new value and inserted
into the headers. No persistent state is modified.
stoggl (Stateful TOGGLe):
state-modifying toggle. If the index exists in the current
header group, it will be turned off, else it will be turned on.
etoggl (Ephemeral TOGGLe):
ephemeral, non-state-modifying toggle. If the provided index
does not exist in the current header group after all stoggles
have modified it, then the key-value as referenced by the
provided index will be present in the output, else, that index
of the current header group will be temporarily suppressed and
will not be included in the headers
strang (Stateful Toggle RANGe):
encodes a range of stoggls
etrang (Ephemeral ToggleRANGe):
encodes a range of etoggls

10. Compression
The compressor generates a sequence of instructions which the
decompressor executes. There are various ways by which the

Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
compressor can determine how to construct these operations. Pseudo-
code follows showing one approach. group_id is defined by the sender,
but must always be less than the maximum allowed number. A
reasonable implementation might assign the same group_id to a set of
headers which are likely to be similar, for instance those which go
to the same hostname or the same hostname suffix.
# assumptions: headers is a dict(), where multiple key:values with
# the same key are encoded as key:value1\0value2\0value3...
# group_id is provided by some other implementation-dependent
# code

If the resulting output buffer is larger than the maximum allowed
frame size, then the buffer shall be split into maximum-allowed-
payload-size or smaller sections, and sent in separate HEADERS
frames, with only the last indicating that the frame is finished by
asserting the FRAME_FINISHED flag.
11. Example
11.1. Background
Here is a simple example showing an input, the changing part of the
compressor state, and an ascii-ified version of what would be
serialized on the wire.
Peon Expires September 19, 2013 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.foo.com
User-Agent: bar-ua baz stuff
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
The first stage of processing is to break the first line into key-
value pairs. The first line becomes:
[
(":method": "GET"),
(":path": "/"),
(":version": "HTTP/1.0")
]
This gets integrated with the rest of the headers, becoming:
[
(":method", "GET"),
(":path", "/"),
(":version", "HTTP/1.0"),
("host", "www.foo.com"),
("user-agent", "bar-ua baz stuff"),
("accept-language", "en-US,en;q=0.5"),
]
The compressor now goes through each key-value, determining if it is
already present in the header-group, in the LRU or static state, and
determines what it needs to emit.
11.2. Example Serialization
This is sample output from a program which implements the compression
specification above. It prints out the stream ID, then the group ID,
then the instructions that the encoder created, then the serialized
form of these instructions, followed last by the decompressed output.

Internet-Draft HTTP/2 Header Compression Mar 2013
12. Unfinished components
These are components that must be added in the future.
Encoding of raw or ascii bytes
Describing safe mechanisms for changing the allowable compressor
state size downwards.
The frequency table used to generate the huffman encoding should
be updated with a more comprehensive analysis of header-character
frequency.
13. Security Considerations
The compressor algorithm described here is expected to be immune to
the current attacks against encrypted stream-based compressors such
as TLS+gzip, but more scrutiny is warranted. The reason that it is
believed that the algorithm(s) expressed here is immune is that any
backreference to a header key or value always requires a whole-text
match, and thus any probe of the compression context confirms no
hypothesis unless the attacker has guessed the entire plaintext key
and value simultaneously.
14. Requirements Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
