Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

httpx-server

npm CI Status dependencies Status devDependencies Status

Respond to encrypted and unencrypted HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests on the same port

Usage

Install httpx-server by running:

yarn add httpx-server

Start a server like so:

import * as httpx from 'httpx-server'
import makeCert from 'make-cert'

const { key, cert } = makeCert('localhost')

const server = httpx.createServer(
  { key, cert },
  (request, response) => {
    response.end('Hello World!')
  }
)

server.listen(8080)

This starts a net.Server, that examines the first byte of each request. If the first byte is 22 (0x16), we know that the client is negotiating a TLS connection, which we then route to an HTTP/2 server that can handle both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests over TLS. Otherwise, if the request includes the text HTTP/1.1, it is routed to an HTTP/1.1 server. And, if the request includes the text HTTP/2, it is routed to a clear text HTTP/2 server.

Enabling TLS is optional. If no certificate is passed in, the server will function, just without TLS support.

The code for differentiating between unencrypted HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests relies on currently deprecated code. There's an outstanding issue to undeprecate that code.

Upgrading from unencrypted HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2 via the Upgrade header is not supported.

The returned server object behaves like an http.Server or http2.Http2Server or http2.Http2SecureServer. Properties, methods, and events common to both are implemented on this object. In other words, binding an event listener to this object binds event listeners to both the HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 server objects.

Requests are routed from net.Server to http.Server or http2.Http2Server or http2.Http2SecureServer using the connection event.

WebSocket is supported, both encrypted and unencrypted. ws has a usage example that works with the server object returned by httpx.createServer.
