调研方向

首先定位 header 名称的表示形式及其现有的 as_bytes 方法,然后检查标准 header 名称是如何被识别的。添加提议的方法,使标准 ASCII 名称能够公开静态字节,而其他名称返回 None,并添加涵盖这两种情况的测试。Issue 中未提及具体文件或测试路径。

描述

Description

This enhancement focuses on improving the usability of the http crate when integrating Rust HTTP libraries with other VM engines, such as V8 (specifically for, but not limited to Deno). The goal is to provide embedding users with a specific method that allows extracting a static 7-bit string from a well-known ASCII header name. By treating header strings as interned strings in scripting engines [1] [2], we can effectively reduce garbage collection pressure, leading to enhanced performance and efficiency.

To achieve this, we propose introducing an Option<&'static [u8]> method for header names. This approach offers a more efficient means of passing header names across embedding boundaries. When working with static ASCII header names, this method allows direct access to the header name bytes across embedding boundaries, without the need for additional memory allocation or garbage collection overhead.

This may also be useful for Python embedders [2], as (I believe) the CPython engine allows creation of strings from const 1-byte buffers.

Alternatives

While we do have an as_bytes method on a header name, this does not tell us the provenance of those bytes, and whether the header is a StandardHeader. We cannot use these as "externally interned" strings in an embedding context because they may be allocated.

The hash function of the header could be used allow us to map between standard headers and interned strings in the embedded engine, but this requires an additional string comparison operation.
