Add support for the per-frame DEFLATE extension

[benvanik]

Spec is here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tyoshino-hybi-websocket-perframe-deflate-05

This just landed in WebKit/Chrome. Here's the CL: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/108731

I have most of this ready. Expect it to land shortly.

[einaros]

I am still working on it. Will land mid August.

Would love to help on having this ready, let me know

I wish I could have this stuff out there sooner, guys, but I've been caught
up with real-life work for months now. I really am hoping to be able to
finish this soon, and tidy up everything else as well, but it's not trivial
to do so when I can't spend any day-job hours on it.

Last spec is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-permessage-compression
perframe has been renamed to permessage and is not limited to deflate anymore, however it is the algorithm used in the spec

[sonnyp]

@einaros could you create an experimental branch with compression support so we can take a look at it and give a hand?

[zz85]

+1 for x-webkit-deflate-message support! :)

I'm volunteering to start implementing this. @einaros mind pushing your branch to github so I can work off of it, or at least view it?

[sequoiar]

any update?

[andrewrk]

Looks like the standard isn't completely solidified yet, and only Chrome has support for one of the extension proposals floating around. I think I'll hold off on working on this until at least Firefox supports an extension too.

I'm looking forward to this too. It will make loading a large music library index in Groove Basin take about 1 second instead of 5.

But still, not desperate enough to code it myself yet 🌵

What is the status on this issue? Is there any support for permessage-deflate at all?

[sonnyp]

Support has landed into Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792831

[sonnyp]

I think this can be closed. per-frame deflate has been obsoleted by per-message compression https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-permessage-compression-19 and implemented in #409

[zz85]

@sonnyp looks promising! looks like permessage-compression is also available in blink/chromium https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=280910 but not yet in webkit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98840?

[zz85]

Firefox 36a2 (developer's edition) does not seem to support permessage-deflate yet.. will check back and see.

[sonnyp]

@zz85 it will be in 37, if you wanna play now with it you could try with firefox nightly
