dox_http_native 3.0.0-alpha.5

Fast native HTTP/1.1 server for Dart and the Dox framework. Rust (hyper) parses HTTP, your handlers stay in Dart. Implements the dart:io HttpServer API.

3.0.0-alpha.5

• New: NativeHttpServer.bind(port, address: ...) listens on one host, like HttpServer.bind. An InternetAddress or a host name. With no address it listens on all interfaces, as before. server.address is the real address.
• Fix: close() never finished when nobody called listen() on the server.
• Native ABI 3 (dox_start takes the host). Needs a new native library build. Until the next release, the build hook builds it with cargo.
• New: close() is graceful, like dart:io. The server stops taking connections at once, each open connection closes after its current answer, and the future completes when all are closed. close(force: true) closes every connection at once.

3.0.0-alpha.4

• Version bump only, to match the other packages.

3.0.0-alpha.3

• DOX_HTTP_THREAD=shared runs one dox-http thread for all isolates. Default is still one thread per isolate, which measured faster.
• Less work per request: request headers are read one name at a time, answers are not copied again in Rust, one wake per answer batch.
• Native ABI 2 (new header layout in the request record). Needs a new native library build.

3.0.0-alpha.2

• First release.
• Native HTTP/1.1 server: Rust (hyper, tokio) owns the sockets and parses HTTP. Handlers stay in Dart.
• Implements the dart:io HttpServer, HttpRequest and HttpResponse API, so code written for dart:io works unchanged.
• One server per isolate on the same port (SO_REUSEPORT on Linux and macOS).
• 400 for bad requests, 431 for big headers, 413 for big bodies.
• The build hook downloads a ready-built library. No Rust needed.
