Conversation
A google.api.http template whose last segment is a variable followed by
a custom verb (`post: "/v2/ops/{operation}:cancel"`, AIP-136) is served
instead of panicking the router at startup. Bindings that differ only by
verb reach their own RPCs, and a template the router cannot match is
left out with an error in the log instead of a panic.
- Templates convert in transcode/path.rs: a verb after a variable or
wildcard is split off the mounted path, a verb after a literal stays
in it, and a path is checked against matchit (whole-segment variables,
the 25-variable limit) before registration. A multi-segment field
template before the last segment is spelled out in the router path;
`**` must be the last part of the path; a nested variable is refused.
- transcode/table.rs: bindings of one path shape share one route. A
request's verb is its last segment from the first unencoded `:`; a
bound verb owns its URL, an unbound one stays in the last variable.
Escapes compare by octet, constrained bindings rank before open ones,
and lower-ranked paths answer what the best one refuses.
- A variable over several segments keeps `%2F` encoded; one segment
decodes it, and an escaped template literal is taken from the request.
- The binding is chosen before every layer of the routes: a URL no
binding answers goes to the proxy's other routes, then to the fallback
(or 404), preflight included; one answered for other methods is 405.
- Guards take the methods of the transcoded bindings; a route answering
every method lets a scope over its own traffic name any method.
- OpenAPI documents only the routes the router mounts.
- README documents custom verbs; CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md and the
CLA note are added.
Closes #138

- ProxyService chooses the binding before the router routes a request, so a URL no binding answers reaches the other routes and the fallback with no captures or matched route of the transcoded one; an axum fallback with a Path extractor no longer fails on it. - A router from ProxyServer::router finds the matched table under Router::nest too, by the matched path less the nesting prefix. - The tables a request falls back to after a method or template miss come from a segment index in the router's ranking: work bounded by the request path, not the number of routes. matchit does not remove a catch-all route, which could loop the old fallthrough. - The matched-path map is shared, not cloned per request and per route. - No "degrading" warning for a template that is refused anyway. - CONTRIBUTING lists the MSRV, musl and advisory checks CI runs. Regression tests: a nested router reaching an extra route, an axum fallback reading its own Path and MatchedPath, and the index ranking checked against matchit.

- Path parameters are borrowed from the router's captures and the routes instead of copied into a HashMap of owned strings; the request message builder reads them through a trait, the public HashMap entry point stays - The binding choice is a tower layer: no boxed future and no extra state clone per request, and the chooser is one reference count - Template and literal checks walk the path once, compare escapes without building normalized text, and allocate nothing; a 405 lists its methods without asking each binding again - Whether a table has a binding without a verb is kept, not recounted - The routing maps hash with FxHash: their keys are fixed at startup
- CORS, tracing and the client-address resolution go on as one stack in a single Router::layer: each layer applied on its own boxed every route again, and the router clones a route's boxes for every request - The OPTIONS disguise around CORS is a pair of tower services passing the inner future through, not two from_fn middlewares boxing one per request - Tracing wraps CORS, so a preflight is traced like any other request A 405 through the proxy service takes 2.0 us instead of 3.2 us, a transcoded call to an in-process upstream 8.2 us instead of 9.7 us.
- The store key is built inline from the rule fingerprint, the tag and the hex of the value's hash, which is written from a table instead of one formatted string per byte; an address is formatted on the stack and a header value borrowed from the request - A key the store has seen is updated without an owned copy of it - The RateLimit headers use static names and integer header values - A shield layer goes on only for a phase some rule runs in: without a claim-keyed rule there is no post-auth layer With a pre-auth IP rule and the concurrency limit, a 405 takes 3.5 us instead of 6.1 us.
- A required client address, maintenance mode, the concurrency limit and the rate limits keyed before auth run in one tower layer, each within its scope, in pipeline order: no from_fn boxing, no layer of its own per guard, no clone of both branches of a narrowed scope - Shield decides synchronously and reports its budget on the response; its public middleware runs on the same decision - A request turned away by the rate limit no longer holds a concurrency slot while its rejection is sent With a pre-auth IP rule and the concurrency limit, a 405 takes 2.9 us instead of 3.5 us.
The proxy service already matched a transcoded request's path to choose its binding, and then the router matched it again, decoded every capture into a reference-counted string, recorded the matched path and cloned the route's boxed service. - The transcoded paths are ranked among the paths of every other route (the proxy's endpoints, extra routes, the verify endpoint) as one router holding them all ranks them; a request whose best match is a transcoded path, with a method no other route answers there, is served behind the same layers and guards with no router in between, its captures read from its own path and borrowed where nothing is decoded - A HEAD is answered without a body and with the length of the GET's, as the router's routes answer it - When another route's path is one the ranking cannot hold, every request goes through the router as before; an embedder's router() is unchanged A 405 takes 1.4 us instead of 1.9 us; with a pre-auth rate limit and the concurrency limit 2.4 us instead of 2.9 us.
tower-http's CORS clones its whole configuration with the service, which a router and a server do for every request, and builds a header map of its own on every request to merge into the response. - The proxy's two policies (every origin, or the configured origins with credentials) are one shared policy whose header values are built at startup; a request costs a reference count and the headers it gets, the same names and values as before - Only a real preflight (Fetch §3.2.2: OPTIONS with Origin and Access-Control-Request-Method) is answered by CORS; any other OPTIONS goes on to the routes as an ordinary request, with no stand-in method around the layer - A gRPC-Web preflight is told apart by that same definition: an OPTIONS without Access-Control-Request-Method is the routes', never a call for the upstream A 405 takes 1.1 us instead of 1.4 us; with a pre-auth rate limit and the concurrency limit 2.0 us instead of 2.4 us.
A server clones the proxy service for every request (hyper-util's TowerToHyperService does), which cloned the upstream, every boxed gRPC stack, both gRPC-Web paths and the routes, for one request that takes one of them. - What every request may take a path through is shared behind one reference count; a request clones it and the one service it is handed to - The transcoded routes' service is borrowed until a request is handed to it
A transcoded call that arrived without a traceparent asked the system for random bytes, a system call per request, and formatted each byte into its own string: a sixth of a call to an in-process upstream. - Trace and span ids come from a generator (wyrand) each thread seeds once from the system's: W3C Trace Context asks for random ids, not unpredictable ones, and OpenTelemetry's SDKs draw them the same way - The traceparent is written into a fixed buffer, under a static key A transcoded call to an in-process upstream takes 5.6 us instead of 7.5 us.
Every transcoded call parsed each name of the forwarded-header list (nine by default) from its text, twice for a header the request carried. - TranscodeState gains forwarded_header_names, a provided method returning the list already parsed (None by default, which parses as before); the proxy's state parses it when the proxy is built - The trace-context headers are looked up by static names
- Whether a variable takes an empty last segment (`/m/` for `/m/{key}`)
is asked of the linked matchit once instead of assumed: 0.8.4 does not,
later 0.8 releases do, and a library's dependents may resolve either.
The index check against matchit covers such paths
- router() documents that routes an application merges after it are not
tried for a URL no binding answers: an axum router routes a request to
one route; extra routes and a proxy service's fallback reach it

- A binding refused at a better-ranked path passes the request on only to
a transcoded path ranked above every other route it reaches; an extra

- The route paths reserved at startup are those mounted: a transcoded
shape the router skips reserves none; paths the router cannot hold
together (a variable and a catch-all at one position) are a startup

A transcoded answer served past the router got `Content-Length: 0` on a 204 or 304 set by `x-http-code`. A 204 carries no Content-Length, and a 304's could only describe the selected representation (RFC 9110 §8.6), so neither status gets one synthesized for its empty body. Tests cover both statuses with a local and a remote upstream.

- An extra route of a method the router has no filter for (PURGE) is
skipped when mounting but still ranked and reserved: its path took a
request from the transcoded route below it, which then got a 404. Only
mounted extra routes are listed now
- A 405 reached past a refusing path listed the methods of the other
routes at the path the request matched first, not at the one that
answered: the choice carries the table that answered
- Nested under a prefix capturing a name the path also captures
(`/{name}` over `/v1/{name}:cancel`), the verb came off the prefix's
value and the path's kept it. The path's captures are the last

Nested under a prefix capturing a name the matched path also captures

- A transcoded route the router skips (a catch-all beside a variable mounted first) still lent its methods, and a `custom` `*` rule its every-method mark, to the startup check of guard scopes: a scope naming a method only that route binds was accepted though no route answers it.

** before a custom verb
For a valid template such as /v1/{name=shelves/**}:purge, the trailing ** can match zero segments, making /v1/shelves/:purge a valid request with name = "shelves/". However, empty_ok is only set for templates that are exactly **, so this predicate rejects the binding whenever the pre-verb path ends in /; the request incorrectly falls through to another route or returns 404 even though binding.fits(path) accepts the field template. Derive this allowance from whether the final template component is **, not whether the entire capture is **.

## Summary
- A `google.api.http` template whose last segment is a variable followed
by a custom verb (`post: "/v2/ops/{operation}:cancel"`, AIP-136) is
served instead of panicking the router at startup.
- Bindings that differ only by verb reach their own RPCs; a template the
router cannot match is skipped with an error in the log instead of a
panic.
- The request path of the proxy service does no work per request that
can be done once: a 405 through it costs about a third of what it did, a
transcoded call a little over half, and the number of routes does not
change either.
- The repository gains a contributing guide, a security policy and the
organisation CLA note.
Replaces #141 (and #139 before it), squashed into one commit on top of
`main`.
## Changes
- `transcode/path.rs`: template conversion moves here; a verb after a
variable or wildcard is split off the mounted path, a verb after a
literal stays in it. A template of one segment (`{name=foo}`) is a plain
capture; a trailing `**`, alone or ending a field template, may match no
segment before a verb. Templates are checked with matchit (the router
axum uses) before registration.
- `transcode/table.rs`: bindings of one path shape share one route, each
with its own capture names. A request's verb is its last segment from
the first unencoded `:` (neither a variable's value nor a verb holds
one, google/api/http.proto). A verb some binding of the path binds owns
the URL and only its bindings answer (escapes compared
case-insensitively); an unbound verb stays part of the last variable, as
in Envoy and grpc-gateway. A template ending in a literal keeps its
exact URL. Verbs, and the bindings without one, are indexed in a segment
trie that ranks paths as matchit does, so neither is hidden by a
better-ranked path and the work per request is bounded by its path; an
encoded verb is taken off the decoded value. A URL no binding answers is
no transcoded request and goes to the proxy's other routes, then to the
fallback (or 404), preflight included; one answered for other methods is
405 with them in `Allow`. The body is not read before that decision.
- The transcoded paths are ranked among the paths of every other route
as one router would: a request goes to its best match, and one a binding
refuses passes on in that order, so another route ranked before a lower
transcoded path takes it. A transcoded HEAD binding answers HEAD before
another route's GET there, and `Allow` on a 405 lists the methods of the
other routes at the path that answered too. The proxy service serves
them past the router, behind the same layers and guards; `router()`
keeps them in an axum router for embedding, choosing the binding after
it routes. Captures are told from those of a prefix the router is nested
under by position.
- `transcode/mod.rs`: one dispatcher per route replaces the per-method
router; path parameters are borrowed rather than copied; `route_paths`
lists each route the router mounts, under the spelling it is mounted
with (a path with verbs as `*`, since it answers every method), and both
sides of a real clash (one method or a `*` rule, one verb), so
`ProxyServer` refuses such a clash, an extra route on a path with verbs,
or paths the router cannot hold together, at startup instead of
panicking. Extra routes of a method the router skips, and transcoded
routes it does not mount, reserve no path and lend no method to guard
scopes.
- A variable bound to a multi-segment template
(`{name=shelves/*/books/*}`) takes only a value of that shape: at the
end of a path it is checked past the router's catch-all, before it the
template is written into the router path segment by segment; `**` before
the last segment is left out with an error. A variable over several
segments, `{name=**}` included, keeps `%2F` encoded in its value
(google/api/http.proto); a route with more variables than the router
holds is refused rather than panicking it.
- Layers: tracing, CORS and the client-address resolution wrap a route
as one stack; the guards decided as a request arrives (a required client
address, maintenance, concurrency, rate limits keyed before auth) run as
one layer. CORS is the proxy's own, with its header values built at
startup; only a real preflight (Fetch §3.2.2, with
`Access-Control-Request-Method`) is answered by it, for REST and
gRPC-Web alike, and for every origin it names back the request headers
asked for, since `*` does not cover `Authorization`. Tracing wraps CORS,
so a preflight is traced. A transcoded answer served past the router
carries no `Content-Length` on a 204, a 304 or a 2xx CONNECT answer,
which has no content either (RFC 9110 §8.6, §9.3.6).
- Rate limits key and report a limit without allocating; trace ids are
drawn from a per-thread generator seeded once rather than a system call
per request; the forwarded header names are parsed once
(`TranscodeState::forwarded_header_names`, a provided method).
- Guards take the methods of the transcoded bindings directly; a route
answering every method (a `custom` `*` rule, the verify endpoint) lets a
scope over its own traffic name any method. OpenAPI documents only the
routes the router mounts.
- README documents custom verbs and the permissive CORS policy;
`ProxyService::with_fallback` hands it a URL whose path a transcoded
route matches but no binding answers.
- CI pulls its Redis service through Google's Docker Hub mirror and runs
the released cargo-deny binary, not its Docker action: anonymous Docker
Hub pulls on shared runners hit its rate limit.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`, CLA line in the README license
section; two broken private rustdoc links fixed.
## Testing
Formatting, clippy and nextest for the default, no-backend and
all-features builds, doc tests, rustdoc with warnings denied, the
advisory audit and the MSRV check pass locally on macOS; CI runs the
full matrix including musl.

Summary
google.api.httptemplate whose last segment is a variable followed by a custom verb (post: "/v2/ops/{operation}:cancel", AIP-136) is served instead of panicking the router at startup.Replaces #139, squashed into one commit on top of
main.Changes
transcode/path.rs: template conversion moves here; a verb after a variable or wildcard is split off the mounted path, a verb after a literal stays in it. A template of one segment ({name=foo}) is a plain capture. Templates are checked with matchit (the router axum uses) before registration.transcode/table.rs: bindings of one path shape share one route, each with its own capture names. A request's verb is its last segment from the first unencoded:(neither a variable's value nor a verb holds one, google/api/http.proto). A verb some binding of the path binds owns the URL and only its bindings answer (escapes compared case-insensitively); an unbound verb stays part of the last variable, as in Envoy and grpc-gateway. A template ending in a literal keeps its exact URL. Verbs, and the bindings without one, are indexed in a segment trie that ranks paths as matchit does, so neither is hidden by a better-ranked path and the work per request is bounded by its path; an encoded verb is taken off the decoded value, and**before a verb may match no segment. A URL no binding answers is no transcoded request and goes to the proxy's other routes, then to the fallback (or 404), preflight included; one answered for other methods is 405 with them inAllow.
