When sending an HTTP/2 POST request, curl will always defer request body to a different TLS record (if SSL/TLS is enabled) and TCP packet. This problem is previously addressed in #6363.
Belows are network packets captured by Wireshark by running
SSLKEYLOGFILE=/tmp/sslkeylog.log src/curl -k "https://nghttp2.org" -d "moo":We can combine the TCP packet by disabling
TCP_NODELAY. Belows is a TCP packet sent by runningSSLKEYLOGFILE=/tmp/sslkeylog.log src/curl -k "https://nghttp2.org" -d "moo" --no-tcp-nodelay:As can be seen from the image above, curl still generates 2 TLS records for HEADER and DATA frames, respectively (ignore the first TLS record from MAGIC frame).
Therefore, this PR provides an optimization that allows request body to be sent together with request headers in a single TLS record and TCP packet if the body size is small enough. This is achieved by attaching request body to header data so that
h2_submit()can write the body directly after it has created a stream.Belows is a TCP packet sent by running
SSLKEYLOGFILE=/tmp/sslkeylog.log src/curl -k "https://nghttp2.org" -d "moo"with this change:
