fix #5217: api: send missing header when upgrading to HTTP/2
The "Connection: upgrade" header is strictly expected to be included in the response sent by the server when an upgrade to a different protocol is requested by the client. A detailed explanation as well as additional context follows below. Background ---------- Neither RFC 9110 (HTTP Semantics) [0] or RFC 7540 (HTTP/2) [1] *explicitly state* that the "Connection: upgrade" header must be included *in the server's response* when a client requests an upgrade to a different protocol. For clients, however, it is specified [2]: > A sender of Upgrade MUST also send an "Upgrade" connection option in > the Connection header field (Section 7.6.1) to inform intermediaries > not to forward this field. Yet, the example for a response provided in RFC 9110 [3] does include the header: > HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols > Connection: upgrade > Upgrade: websocket > > [... data stream switches to websocket with an appropriate response > (as defined by new protocol) to the "GET /hello" request ...] The example in RFC 7540 [4] also includes the header: > HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols > Connection: Upgrade > Upgrade: h2c > > [ HTTP/2 connection ... Additionally, RFC 9113 [5], which obsoletes RFC 7540 [1], mentions: > The HTTP/1.1 Upgrade mechanism is deprecated and no longer specified > in this document. It was never widely deployed, with plaintext > HTTP/2 users choosing to use the prior-knowledge implementation > instead. I therefore initially concluded that whether the "Connection: upgrade" header should / should not / must / must not be included in the server's response was unspecified. Further Revelations ------------------- As per Thomas's suggestion [6], I opened a discussion over at Caddy's GitHub issue tracker [7]. This discussion revealed that RFC 7230 [8], which is obsoleted by RFC 9110 [1], does in fact specify that the header must be included [9], thus proving my initial conclusion to be incorrect: > When a header field aside from Connection is used to supply control > information for or about the current connection, the sender MUST > list the corresponding field-name within the Connection header > field. [...] The discussion [7] also revealed that the WebSocket RFC 6455 [10] specifies the usage of the "Connection" header in more detail [11]: > 3. If the response lacks a |Connection| header field or the > |Connection| header field doesn't contain a token that is an ASCII > case-insensitive match for the value "Upgrade", the client MUST > _Fail the WebSocket Connection_. Furthermore [12]: > 5. If the server chooses to accept the incoming connection, it > MUST reply with a valid HTTP response indicating the following. > > [...] > > 3. A |Connection| header field with value "Upgrade". Although we're using the upgrade mechanism for HTTP/2, the WebSocket RFC [10] specifies its usage more clearly and most importantly, in an explicit manner. Final Conclusion ---------------- The "Connection: upgrade" header must therefore definitely be included as per RFC 7230 section 6.1 [8], even if the newer RFC 9110 [1] does not specify this explicitly anymore. Finally, this fixes bug #5217 [13] and allows PBS to be deployed behind Caddy. Also tested with nginx, which still works as expected.
