  buffer = Buffer.new
  pseudo_headers, regular_headers = headers.partition { |f, _| f.start_with? ':' }
  headers = [*pseudo_headers, *regular_headers]
  commands = @cc.encode(headers)
  commands.each do |cmd|
    buffer << header(cmd)
  end

  buffer
end

def header(h, buffer = Buffer.new)
  rep = HEADREP[h[:type]]

  case h[:type]
  when :indexed
    buffer << integer(h[:name] + 1, rep[:prefix])
  when :changetablesize
    buffer << integer(h[:value], rep[:prefix])
  else
    if h[:name].is_a? Integer
      buffer << integer(h[:name] + 1, rep[:prefix])
    else
      buffer << integer(0, rep[:prefix])
      buffer << string(h[:name])
    end

    buffer << string(h[:value])
  end

  # set header representation pattern on first byte
  fb = buffer.ord | rep[:pattern]
  buffer.setbyte(0, fb)

  buffer
end

#integer(i, n) ⇒ String

Encodes provided value via integer representation.

If I < 2^N - 1, encode I on N bits
Else
    encode 2^N - 1 on N bits
    I = I - (2^N - 1)
    While I >= 128
         Encode (I % 128 + 128) on 8 bits
         I = I / 128
    encode (I) on 8 bits

Parameters:

  • i (Integer) —

    value to encode

  • n (Integer) —

    number of available bits

Returns:

  • (String) —

    binary string

def integer(i, n)
  limit = 2**n - 1
  return [i].pack('C') if i < limit

  bytes = []
  bytes.push limit unless n.zero?

  i -= limit
  while (i >= 128)
    bytes.push((i % 128) + 128)
    i /= 128
  end

  bytes.push i
  bytes.pack('C*')
end

#string(str) ⇒ String

Encodes provided value via string literal representation.

  • tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-10#section-5.2

  • The string length, defined as the number of bytes needed to store its UTF-8 representation, is represented as an integer with a seven bits prefix. If the string length is strictly less than 127, it is represented as one byte.

  • If the bit 7 of the first byte is 1, the string value is represented as a list of Huffman encoded octets (padded with bit 1’s until next octet boundary).

  • If the bit 7 of the first byte is 0, the string value is represented as a list of UTF-8 encoded octets.

@options [:huffman] controls whether to use Huffman encoding:

:never   Do not use Huffman encoding
:always  Always use Huffman encoding
:shorter Use Huffman when the result is strictly shorter

Parameters:

  • str (String)

Returns:

  • (String) —

    binary string
