WinHttpHandler: Read HTTP/2 trailing headers (replacement PR) #48704

antonfirsov · 2021-02-24T16:22:01Z

Fixes #44778, finalizing the work started in #46602.

Notes from the original PR:

Adds netstandard2.1 target.
Loads trailers into HttpResponseMessage.TrailingHeaders in netstandard2.1. With older targets the trailers are stashed in HttpRequestMessage.Properties.

Additions to the original PR:

Tests have been made conditional to OS Build >=19622
Feature detection logic added based on WinHTTP team's recommendation (check for WINHTTP_OPTION_STREAM_ERROR_CODE)
Fix WinHttpHandler.Unit.Tests build
Some refactor work to keep the code maintainable

Notes on testing

Currently, none of the CI machines pass the OS Version condition of the Trailers tests, therefore the only proof that the feature actually works is that the new tests passed locally on VM running a preview Windows build.
It's seems impossible to design automatic tests that work with .NET Framework. Framework doesn't support ALPN, rendering LoopbackServer useless. I validated the feature with a local-only test case, testing a feature with a remote endpoint running on localhost. It's not possible to host this service as an Azure App, because Azure can not bypass ISS, and Kestrel does not support Trailers with IIS. This is an unfortunate situation IMO, since we added this feature primarily for .NET Framework gRPC support, and looks like we will never be able to regression test it.

@JamesNK do you plan to do some sort of end-to-end validation of dotnet/core#5713 or have you already done it with your prototype?

JamesNK · 2021-02-24T19:55:03Z

I tested end-to-end with my earlier PR.

Once this PR is merged I'll reference WinHttpHandler preview package off the .NET 6 feed and re-run the test.

There is a copy of it here if you want to try it yourself. Replace the WinHttpHandler.dll file in the console's Lib directory.

JamesNK · 2021-02-24T20:07:05Z

It's seems impossible to design automatic tests that work with .NET Framework.

Is that is a common problem with all WinHttpHandler HTTP/2 tests on .NET Framework?

Kestrel does not support Trailers with IIS

It does with .NET 5 + Windows 10 Build 20241 or later.

src/libraries/System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler/src/System/Net/Http/WinHttpTrailersHelper.cs

stephentoub · 2021-02-24T20:10:47Z

src/libraries/System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler/src/System/Net/Http/WinHttpResponseParser.cs

+                if (!isTrailingHeaders)
+                {
+                    Debug.Assert(lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_WINHTTP_HEADER_NOT_FOUND);

-                if (lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)
+                    if (lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)
+                    {
+                        throw WinHttpException.CreateExceptionUsingError(lastError, nameof(Interop.WinHttp.WinHttpQueryHeaders));
+                    }
+                }
+                else
                {
-                    throw WinHttpException.CreateExceptionUsingError(lastError, nameof(Interop.WinHttp.WinHttpQueryHeaders));
+                    if (!(lastError == Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER || lastError == Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_WINHTTP_HEADER_NOT_FOUND))
+                    {
+                        throw WinHttpException.CreateExceptionUsingError(lastError, nameof(Interop.WinHttp.WinHttpQueryHeaders));
+                    }


Seems like this would be simpler as:

if (lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER && (!isTrailingHeaders || lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_WINHTTP_HEADER_NOT_FOUND)) { throw WinHttpException.CreateExceptionUsingError(lastError, nameof(Interop.WinHttp.WinHttpQueryHeaders)); }

or something like that?

It also has to be preceded by:

Debug.Assert(isTrailingHeaders || lastError != Interop.WinHttp.ERROR_WINHTTP_HEADER_NOT_FOUND);

Can't decide if the code more readable in this form, pushed a change anyways.

antonfirsov · 2021-02-25T16:07:22Z

Is that is a common problem with all WinHttpHandler HTTP/2 tests on .NET Framework?

@JamesNK yes, I think it's a big gap, the following is a very common pattern to disable tests here:

runtime/src/libraries/Common/tests/System/Net/Http/HttpClientHandlerTest.cs

Lines 151 to 156 in 59417ef

    
           public async Task GetAsync_IPv6LinkLocalAddressUri_Success() 
        
           { 
        
               if (IsWinHttpHandler && UseVersion >= HttpVersion20.Value) 
        
               { 
        
                   return; 
        
               }

The only way to overcome this is to use our shared remote endpoints (stuff under https://corefx-net-http2.azurewebsites.net/) instead of LoopbackServer.

Kestrel does not support Trailers with IIS
It does with .NET 5 + Windows 10 Build 20241 or later.

Don't have much experience with Azure App Services, creating a website with a preview Windows build doesn't look like a trivial task to me. So I think we are stuck with local testing for now.

antonfirsov · 2021-02-25T16:22:46Z

There is an issue we need to look at before proceeding. Might be a local config issue or a bug in the Windows preview build I'm using (21320), but I'm concerned if it's something more serious.

On my preview test machine, running TrailingHeadersTests separately works, but running the whole tests suite together makes them fail with an exception coming from SslStream, also resulting in a bunch of other SSL failures which may be related:
https://gistpreview.github.io/?8c44cb205e96e698a0999d7cd7666a27

This is also happening with the original #46602 branch.

@JamesNK have you seen this on your preview test machine? @wfurt do those error messages ring any bells?

JamesNK · 2021-02-25T18:42:34Z

I don’t know.

It took me a while to setup the runtime solution and tests, I focused on just getting the new trailers tests working.

Outstanding test failures look unrelated. Confirm they're unrelated or fix.

HTTP/2 trailers changes LGTM.

FYI

Grpc.Net.Client 2.36.0-pre1 is on NuGet. It adds .NET Standard 2.0.
I've written documentation: Split gRPC supported platforms doc into hosting services and calling services sections AspNetCore.Docs#21689. Once this PR is merged then I'll merge the docs and let internal teams know it is ready to try out.

antonfirsov · 2021-03-10T10:53:30Z

Outerloop test failures are unrelated: #40798 #44015 (comment) #45774 #40798 #1479 #43931

I'm merging this finally.
