Provide a way to apply exception mount urls that exist on top of a larger
mount, but provide an exception which enforces the url to not be serviced
by the mount code, but by whatever dynamic handler is in place.
Add a dlo-based layout callback for use with lhp.
If lhp_dl_render() is used as the Lws Html/CSS parser callback, it
produces a display_list representation of the Html as DLOs, referencing the
appropriate CSS to drive the layout as best it can.
The display list can be rasterized on to an lws_display using the display's
state object
lds->disp->blit(lds, (uint8_t *)&dl, &box);
This is a NOP for existing usecases.
At the moment the only implemented transport for serialized SS is wsi, it's
typically used with Unix Domain Sockets, but it also works over tcp the
same.
It generalizes the interface between serialized chunks and the
transport, separately for client and proxy. The wsi transport is migrated
to use the new transport ops structs.
It will then be possible to "bring your own transport", so long as it is
reliable, and in-order, both for proxy and client / sspc.
We also adapt minimal-secure-streams-binance to build the -client variant
via SS proxy as well.
LWS_ONLY_SSPC is added so libwebsockets can be produced with just sspc
client support even for tiny targets.
A new embedded minimal example for rpi pico is also provided that
demonstrates using Serialized SS over a UART to an SS proxy, to implement
the SS Binance example on the pico, even though it has no networking itself.
On some platforms AF_INET and AF_INET6 must be listened for on separate
sockets. Adapt the vhost server creation code to use the new support for
multiple listen sockets per vhost to create up to two listen sockets for
AF_INET and AF_INET6.
It refactors how the decision about the AF is made and propagated so
there's only one place for it.
Some platforms need two sockets with AF_INET and AF_INET6 to listen to both
protocols.
This patch changes the single listen socket each vhost could previously
handle to become an lws_dll2 and adapts the related code to handle them as
a linked-list rather than as a singleton.
The next patch adapts the listen / server code to create multiple listen
wsi for vhosts listening on multiple ip protocols.
Until now although we can follow redirects, and they can promote the
protocol from h1->h2, we couldn't handle h2 wsi reuse since there are many
states in the wsi affected by being h2.
This wipes the related states in lws_wsi_reset() and follows the generic
wsi close flow before deviating into the redirect really close to the end,
ensuring we cleaned out evidence of our previous life properly.
h2->h2 redirects work properly after this.
The max number of redirects is increased from 3 -> 4 since this was seen in
the wild with www and then geographic-based redirects.
Add support for dynamically determining the CAs needed to validate server
certificates. This allows you to avoid instantiating > 120 X.509 trusted
CA certs and have them take up heap the whole time.
Works for both openssl and mbedtls.
See READMEs/README.jit-trust.md for the documentation
You likely want the next patch for http redirect enhancements as well.
At init-time, PROTOCOL_INIT needs to be sent to each vhost-protocol
combination to give them a chance to instantiate themselves.
PROTOCOL_INIT can be deferred a bit, and since its subject is per vhost,
which has no tsi affinity, in SMP case, its current use of context->pt[0]
fakewsi can clash with other stuff happening simultaneously, eg,
CANCEL_SERVICE broadcast, which happens on each pt.
Solve this by changing PROTOCOL_INIT to use an on-stack fakewsi that cannot
clash with any other service loop use of them.
Take care about using a full fake wsi or an lws_a fakewsi if PLAT_FREERTOS.
There are a few build options that are trying to keep and report
various statistics
- DETAILED_LATENCY
- SERVER_STATUS
- WITH_STATS
remove all those and establish a generic rplacement, lws_metrics.
lws_metrics makes its stats available via an lws_system ops function
pointer that the user code can set.
Openmetrics export is supported, for, eg, prometheus scraping.
Also prioritize LD_LIBRARY_PATH check for plugins first
Iterate through paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order
Warn on failed plugins init but continue protocol init
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
This adds some new objects and helpers for keeping and logging
info on grouped allocations, a group is, eg, SS handles or client
wsis.
Allocated objects get a context-unique "tag" string intended to replace
%p / wsi pointers etc. Pointers quickly become confusing when
allocations are freed and reused, the tag string won't repeat
until you produce 2^64 objects in a context.
In addition the tag string documents the object group, with prefixes
like "wsi-" or "vh-" and contain object-specific additional
information like the vhost name, address / port or the role of the wsi.
At creation time the lws code can use a format string and args
to add whatever group-specific info makes sense, eg, a wsi bound
to a secure stream can also append the guid of the secure stream,
it's copied into the new object tag and so is still available
cleanly after the stream is destroyed if the wsi outlives it.
A few different places want to create wsis and basically repeat their
own versions of the flow. Let's unify it into one helper in wsi.c
Also require the context lock held (this only impacts LWS_MAX_SMP > 1)
With synthetic tests, we can have an h1 connection open to a server
and ask for an h2-specific connection to the same thing... lws will
bind it to the idle h1 connection since the endpoint and tls matches.
This also makes it check that the alpn filtering matches h1 before
allowing that.
role ops are usually only sparsely filled, there are currently 20
function pointers but several roles only fill in two. No single
role has more than 14 of the ops. On a 32/64 bit build this part
of the ops struct takes a fixed 80 / 160 bytes then.
First reduce the type of the callback reason part from uint16_t to
uint8_t, this saves 12 bytes unconditionally.
Change to a separate function pointer array with a nybble index
array, it costs 10 bytes for the index and a pointer to the
separate array, for 32-bit the cost is
2 + (4 x ops_used)
and for 64-bit
6 + (8 x ops_used)
for 2 x ops_used it means 32-bit: 10 vs 80 / 64-bit: 22 vs 160
For a typical system with h1 (9), h2 (14), listen (2), netlink (2),
pipe (1), raw_skt (3), ws (12), == 43 ops_used out of 140, it means
the .rodata for this reduced from 32-bit: 560 -> 174 (386 byte
saving) and 64-bit: 1120 -> 350 (770 byte saving)
This doesn't account for the changed function ops calling code, two
ways were tried, a preprocessor macro and explicit functions
For an x86_64 gcc 10 build with most options, release mode,
.text + .rodata
before patch: 553282
accessor macro: 552714 (568 byte saving)
accessor functions: 553674 (392 bytes worse than without patch)
therefore we went with the macros
RFC6724 defines an ipv6-centric DNS result sorting algorithm, that
takes route and source address route information for the results
given by the DNS resolution, and sorts them in order of preferability,
which defines the order they should be tried in.
If LWS_WITH_NETLINK, then lws takes care about collecting and monitoring
the interface, route and source address information, and uses it to
perform the RFC6724 sorting to re-sort the DNS before trying to make
the connections.
This creates a role for RFC3549 Netlink monitoring.
If the OS supports it (currently, linux) then each pt creates a wsi
with the netlink role and dumps the current routing table at pt init.
It then maintains a cache of the routing table in each pt.
Upon routing table changes an SMD message is issued as an event, and
Captive Portal Detection is triggered.
All of the pt's current connections are reassessed for routability under
the changed routing table, those that no longer have a valid route or
gateway are closed.
Event lib support as it has been isn't scaling well, at the low level
libevent and libev headers have a namespace conflict so they can't
both be built into the same image, and at the distro level, binding
all the event libs to libwebsockets.so makes a bloaty situation for
packaging, lws will drag in all the event libs every time.
This patch implements the plan discussed here
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues/1980
and refactors the event lib support so they are built into isolated
plugins and bound at runtime according to what the application says
it wants to use. The event lib plugins can be packaged individually
so that only the needed sets of support are installed (perhaps none
of them if the user code is OK with the default poll() loop). And
dependent user code can mark the specific event loop plugin package
as required so pieces are added as needed.
The eventlib-foreign example is also refactored to build the selected
lib support isolated.
A readme is added detailing the changes and how to use them.
https://libwebsockets.org/git/libwebsockets/tree/READMEs/README.event-libs.md
Move the common plugin scanning dir stuff to be based on lws_dir, which
already builds for windows. Previously this was done via dirent for unix
and libuv for windows.
Reduce the dl plat stuff to just wrap instantiation and destruction of
dynlibs, establish common code in lib/misc/dir.c for plugin scanning
itself.
Migrate the libuv windows dl stuff to windows-plugins.c, so that he's
available even if later libuv loop support becomes and event lib plugin.
Remove the existing api exports scheme for plugins, just export a const struct
now which has a fixed header type but then whatever you want afterwards depending
on the class / purpose of the plugin. Place a "class" string in the header so
there can be different kinds of plugins implying different types exported.
Make the plugin apis public and add support for filter by class string, and
per instantation / destruction callbacks so the subclassed header type can
do its thing for the plugin class. The user provides a linked-list base
for his class of plugins, so he can manage them completely separately and
in user code / user export types.
Rip out some last hangers-on from generic sessions / tables.
This is all aimed at making the plugins support general enough so it can
provide event lib plugins later.
