27    <p>There are a number of common pitfalls encountered when writing
28    output filters; this page aims to document best practice for
29    authors of new or existing filters.</p>
30
31    <p>This document is applicable to both version 2.0 and version 2.2
32    of the Apache HTTP Server; it specifically targets
33    <code>RESOURCE</code>-level or <code>CONTENT_SET</code>-level
34    filters though some advice is generic to all types of filter.</p>

48<h2><a name="basics" id="basics">Filters and bucket brigades</a></h2>
49    
50
51    <p>Each time a filter is invoked, it is passed a <em>bucket
52    brigade</em>, containing a sequence of <em>buckets</em> which
53    represent both data content and metadata.  Every bucket has a
54    <em>bucket type</em>; a number of bucket types are defined and
55    used by the <code>httpd</code> core modules (and the
56    <code>apr-util</code> library which provides the bucket brigade
57    interface), but modules are free to define their own types.</p>
58
59    <div class="note">Output filters must be prepared to process
60    buckets of non-standard types; with a few exceptions, a filter
61    need not care about the types of buckets being filtered.</div>
62
63    <p>A filter can tell whether a bucket represents either data or
64    metadata using the <code>APR_BUCKET_IS_METADATA</code> macro.
65    Generally, all metadata buckets should be passed down the filter
66    chain by an output filter.  Filters may transform, delete, and
67    insert data buckets as appropriate.</p>
68
69    <p>There are two metadata bucket types which all filters must pay
70    attention to: the <code>EOS</code> bucket type, and the
71    <code>FLUSH</code> bucket type.  An <code>EOS</code> bucket
72    indicates that the end of the response has been reached and no
73    further buckets need be processed.  A <code>FLUSH</code> bucket
74    indicates that the filter should flush any buffered buckets (if
75    applicable) down the filter chain immediately.</p>
76
77    <div class="note"><code>FLUSH</code> buckets are sent when the
78    content generator (or an upstream filter) knows that there may be
79    a delay before more content can be sent.  By passing
80    <code>FLUSH</code> buckets down the filter chain immediately,
81    filters ensure that the client is not kept waiting for pending
82    data longer than necessary.</div>
83
84    <p>Filters can create <code>FLUSH</code> buckets and pass these
85    down the filter chain if desired.  Generating <code>FLUSH</code>
86    buckets unnecessarily, or too frequently, can harm network
87    utilisation since it may force large numbers of small packets to
88    be sent, rather than a small number of larger packets.  The
89    section on <a href="#nonblock">Non-blocking bucket reads</a>
90    covers a case where filters are encouraged to generate
91    <code>FLUSH</code> buckets.</p>
92
93    <div class="example"><h3>Example bucket brigade</h3><p><code>
94    HEAP FLUSH FILE EOS</code></p></div>
95
96    <p>This shows a bucket brigade which may be passed to a filter; it
97    contains two metadata buckets (<code>FLUSH</code> and
98    <code>EOS</code>), and two data buckets (<code>HEAP</code> and
99    <code>FILE</code>).</p>

103<h2><a name="invocation" id="invocation">Filter invocation</a></h2>
104    
105
106    <p>For any given request, an output filter might be invoked only
107    once and be given a single brigade representing the entire response.
108    It is also possible that the number of times a filter is invoked
109    for a single response is proportional to the size of the content
110    being filtered, with the filter being passed a brigade containing
111    a single bucket each time.  Filters must operate correctly in
112    either case.</p>
113
114    <div class="warning">An output filter which allocates long-lived
115    memory every time it is invoked may consume memory proportional to
116    response size.  Output filters which need to allocate memory
117    should do so once per response; see <a href="#state">Maintaining
118    state</a> below.</div>
119
120    <p>An output filter can distinguish the final invocation for a
121    given response by the presence of an <code>EOS</code> bucket in
122    the brigade.  Any buckets in the brigade after an EOS should be
123    ignored.</p>
124
125    <p>An output filter should never pass an empty brigade down the
126    filter chain.  To be defensive, filters should be prepared to
127    accept an empty brigade, and should return success without passing
128    this brigade on down the filter chain.  The handling of an empty
129    brigade should have no side effects (such as changing any state
130    private to the filter).</p>

143    
144
145    <p>A bucket brigade is a doubly-linked list of buckets.  The list
146    is terminated (at both ends) by a <em>sentinel</em> which can be
147    distinguished from a normal bucket by comparing it with the
148    pointer returned by <code>APR_BRIGADE_SENTINEL</code>.  The list
149    sentinel is in fact not a valid bucket structure; any attempt to
150    call normal bucket functions (such as
151    <code>apr_bucket_read</code>) on the sentinel will have undefined
152    behaviour (i.e. will crash the process).</p>
153
154    <p>There are a variety of functions and macros for traversing and
155    manipulating bucket brigades; see the <a href="http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr-util/trunk/group___a_p_r___util___bucket___brigades.html">apr_bucket.h</a>
156    header for complete coverage.  Commonly used macros include:</p>
157
158    <dl>
159      <dt><code>APR_BRIGADE_FIRST(bb)</code></dt>
160      <dd>returns the first bucket in brigade bb</dd>
161
162      <dt><code>APR_BRIGADE_LAST(bb)</code></dt>
163      <dd>returns the last bucket in brigade bb</dd>
164
165      <dt><code>APR_BUCKET_NEXT(e)</code></dt>
166      <dd>gives the next bucket after bucket e</dd>
167
168      <dt><code>APR_BUCKET_PREV(e)</code></dt>
169      <dd>gives the bucket before bucket e</dd>
170
171    </dl>
172
173    <p>The <code>apr_bucket_brigade</code> structure itself is
174    allocated out of a pool, so if a filter creates a new brigade, it
175    must ensure that memory use is correctly bounded.  A filter which
176    allocates a new brigade out of the request pool
177    (<code>r-&gt;pool</code>) on every invocation, for example, will fall
178    foul of the <a href="#invocation">warning above</a> concerning
179    memory use.  Such a filter should instead create a brigade on the
180    first invocation per request, and store that brigade in its <a href="#state">state structure</a>.</p>
181
182    <div class="warning"><p>It is generally never advisable to use
183    <code>apr_brigade_destroy</code> to "destroy" a brigade unless
184    you know for certain that the brigade will never be used
185    again, even then, it should be used rarely.  The
186    memory used by the brigade structure will not be released by
187    calling this function (since it comes from a pool), but the
188    associated pool cleanup is unregistered.  Using
189    <code>apr_brigade_destroy</code> can in fact cause memory leaks;
190    if a "destroyed" brigade contains buckets when its
191    containing pool is destroyed, those buckets will <em>not</em> be
192    immediately destroyed.</p>
193
194    <p>In general, filters should use <code>apr_brigade_cleanup</code>
195    in preference to <code>apr_brigade_destroy</code>.</p></div>

200
201    
202
203    <p>When dealing with non-metadata buckets, it is important to
204    understand that the "<code>apr_bucket *</code>" object is an
205    abstract <em>representation</em> of data:</p>
206
207    <ol>
208      <li>The amount of data represented by the bucket may or may not
209      have a determinate length; for a bucket which represents data of
210      indeterminate length, the <code>-&gt;length</code> field is set to
211      the value <code>(apr_size_t)-1</code>.  For example, buckets of
212      the <code>PIPE</code> bucket type have an indeterminate length;
213      they represent the output from a pipe.</li>
214
215      <li>The data represented by a bucket may or may not be mapped
216      into memory.  The <code>FILE</code> bucket type, for example,
217      represents data stored in a file on disk.</li>
218    </ol>
219
220    <p>Filters read the data from a bucket using the
221    <code>apr_bucket_read</code> function.  When this function is
222    invoked, the bucket may <em>morph</em> into a different bucket
223    type, and may also insert a new bucket into the bucket brigade.
224    This must happen for buckets which represent data not mapped into
225    memory.</p>
226
227    <p>To give an example; consider a bucket brigade containing a
228    single <code>FILE</code> bucket representing an entire file, 24
229    kilobytes in size:</p>
230
231    <div class="example"><p><code>FILE(0K-24K)</code></p></div>
232
233    <p>When this bucket is read, it will read a block of data from the
234    file, morph into a <code>HEAP</code> bucket to represent that
235    data, and return the data to the caller.  It also inserts a new
236    <code>FILE</code> bucket representing the remainder of the file;
237    after the <code>apr_bucket_read</code> call, the brigade looks
238    like:</p>
239
240    <div class="example"><p><code>HEAP(8K) FILE(8K-24K)</code></p></div>

243<div class="section">
244<h2><a name="filtering" id="filtering">Filtering brigades</a></h2>
245    
246
247    <p>The basic function of any output filter will be to iterate
248    through the passed-in brigade and transform (or simply examine)
249    the content in some manner.  The implementation of the iteration
250    loop is critical to producing a well-behaved output filter.</p>
251
252    <p>Taking an example which loops through the entire brigade as
253    follows:</p>
254
255    <div class="example"><h3>Bad output filter -- do not imitate!</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-c">apr_bucket *e = APR_BRIGADE_FIRST(bb);
256const char *data;
257apr_size_t len;
258
259while (e != APR_BRIGADE_SENTINEL(bb)) {
260    apr_bucket_read(e, &amp;data, &amp;length, APR_BLOCK_READ);
261    e = APR_BUCKET_NEXT(e);
262
263}
264
265return ap_pass_brigade(bb);</pre>
266</div>
267
268    <p>The above implementation would consume memory proportional to
269    content size.  If passed a <code>FILE</code> bucket, for example,
270    the entire file contents would be read into memory as each
271    <code>apr_bucket_read</code> call morphed a <code>FILE</code>
272    bucket into a <code>HEAP</code> bucket.</p>
273
274    <p>In contrast, the implementation below will consume a fixed
275    amount of memory to filter any brigade; a temporary brigade is
276    needed and must be allocated only once per response, see the <a href="#state">Maintaining state</a> section.</p>
277
278    <div class="example"><h3>Better output filter</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-c">apr_bucket *e;

302    <p>A filter which needs to maintain state over multiple
303    invocations per response can use the <code>-&gt;ctx</code> field of
304    its <code>ap_filter_t</code> structure.  It is typical to store a
305    temporary brigade in such a structure, to avoid having to allocate

336    
337
338    <p>If a filter decides to store buckets beyond the duration of a
339    single filter function invocation (for example storing them in its
340    <code>-&gt;ctx</code> state structure), those buckets must be <em>set
341    aside</em>.  This is necessary because some bucket types provide
342    buckets which represent temporary resources (such as stack memory)
343    which will fall out of scope as soon as the filter chain completes
344    processing the brigade.</p>
345
346    <p>To setaside a bucket, the <code>apr_bucket_setaside</code>
347    function can be called.  Not all bucket types can be setaside, but
348    if successful, the bucket will have morphed to ensure it has a
349    lifetime at least as long as the pool given as an argument to the
350    <code>apr_bucket_setaside</code> function.</p>
351
352    <p>Alternatively, the <code>ap_save_brigade</code> function can be
353    used, which will move all the buckets into a separate brigade
354    containing buckets with a lifetime as long as the given pool
355    argument.  This function must be used with care, taking into
356    account the following points:</p>
357
358    <ol>
359      <li>On return, <code>ap_save_brigade</code> guarantees that all
360      the buckets in the returned brigade will represent data mapped
361      into memory.  If given an input brigade containing, for example,
362      a <code>PIPE</code> bucket, <code>ap_save_brigade</code> will
363      consume an arbitrary amount of memory to store the entire output
364      of the pipe.</li>
365
366      <li>When <code>ap_save_brigade</code> reads from buckets which
367      cannot be setaside, it will always perform blocking reads,
368      removing the opportunity to use <a href="#nonblock">Non-blocking
369      bucket reads</a>.</li>
370
371      <li>If <code>ap_save_brigade</code> is used without passing a
372      non-NULL "<code>saveto</code>" (destination) brigade parameter,
373      the function will create a new brigade, which may cause memory
374      use to be proportional to content size as described in the <a href="#brigade">Brigade structure</a> section.</li>

387    <p>The <code>apr_bucket_read</code> function takes an
388    <code>apr_read_type_e</code> argument which determines whether a
389    <em>blocking</em> or <em>non-blocking</em> read will be performed
390    from the data source.  A good filter will first attempt to read
391    from every data bucket using a non-blocking read; if that fails

435<h2><a name="rules" id="rules">Ten rules for output filters</a></h2>
436    
437
438    <p>In summary, here is a set of rules for all output filters to
439    follow:</p>
440
441    <ol>
442      <li>Output filters should not pass empty brigades down the filter
443      chain, but should be tolerant of being passed empty
444      brigades.</li>
445
446      <li>Output filters must pass all metadata buckets down the filter
447      chain; <code>FLUSH</code> buckets should be respected by passing
448      any pending or buffered buckets down the filter chain.</li>
449
450      <li>Output filters should ignore any buckets following an
451      <code>EOS</code> bucket.</li>
452
453      <li>Output filters must process a fixed amount of data at a
454      time, to ensure that memory consumption is not proportional to
455      the size of the content being filtered.</li>
456
457      <li>Output filters should be agnostic with respect to bucket
458      types, and must be able to process buckets of unfamiliar
459      type.</li>
460
461      <li>After calling <code>ap_pass_brigade</code> to pass a brigade
462      down the filter chain, output filters should call
463      <code>apr_brigade_cleanup</code> to ensure the brigade is empty
464      before reusing that brigade structure; output filters should
465      never use <code>apr_brigade_destroy</code> to "destroy"
466      brigades.</li>
467
468      <li>Output filters must <em>setaside</em> any buckets which are
469      preserved beyond the duration of the filter function.</li>
470
471      <li>Output filters must not ignore the return value of
472      <code>ap_pass_brigade</code>, and must return appropriate errors
473      back up the filter chain.</li>
474
475      <li>Output filters must only create a fixed number of bucket
476      brigades for each response, rather than one per invocation.</li>
477
478      <li>Output filters should first attempt non-blocking reads from
479      each data bucket, and send a <code>FLUSH</code> bucket down the
480      filter chain if the read blocks, before retrying with a blocking
481      read.</li>
482
483    </ol>
