Introduce Redfish HTTP protocol to improve Redfish performance
and communication stability between BIOS and Redfish service.
- Feature drivers often query same Redfish resource multiple
times for different purpose. Implement HTTP cache mechanism to
improve HTTP GET performance. "UseCache" parameter is provided
if application likes to send HTTP GET request to Redfish service
without using cache data.
- This driver will retire stale cache data automatically when
application modify Redfish resource at service side.
- PCD PcdHttpCacheDisabled is used to disable cache mechanism in
this driver for debugging purpose.
- PCD PcdRedfishServiceContentEncoding is used to enable content
encoding while sending data to Redfish service.
- Redfish HTTP protocol also implement retry mechanism to retry
HTTP request when BIOS receive unexpected response from Redfish service.
This function helps BIOS Redfish to finish its job as much as possible.
- PCDs are defined to control how many times BIOS will retry the
request and how many time BIOS will wait between retries.
