Adapt mbedtls support for compatibility with v3, while maintaining
compatibility with v2.
Notice v3 has removed the ability to encrypt with pubkey and
decrypt with privkey. Openssl still has it, atm with v3 these
fall back to encrypt with privkey and decrypt with pubkey.

This is useful for memory constrained systems such as esp32
to improve heap usage minfree/watermark.
On esp32 with simultaneous_ssl_restriction = 2 (MQTT+H1),
Without this change, sys heap minfree ranges from 59k to 71k
in 100 iterations, average 66.5k.
With this change, sys heap minfree ranges from 64k to 71k
in 100 interations, average 68.7k
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.
The wilcard part was always length driven... but the check part relied on
being NUL terminated. Change that to also use a length specifier and not
need any NUL.
To migrate old uses, just add a fourth param as strlen(check).
Adapt the event lib support slighly so we can pass an event lib "plugin"
header in at context creation time, and direct all event loop handling to
go via that.
This can then be lightly adapted to interface to an existing custom event
loop cleanly, without the problems of EXTERNAL_POLL.
The external loop must consult with us about the max wait timeout as shown
in the added minimal-http-server-eventlib-custom example.
The example shows a complete implementation working with a custom poll()
loop cleanly while only needing 5 ops in the custom event lib handler.
Mbedtls does not have the same concept as openssl about preloading the
system trust store into every SSL_CTX.
This patch allows you to simulate the behaviour by passing in a context
creation-time filepath that all client SSL_CTX will be initialized from.
Defer recording the ss metrics histogram until wsi close, so it has a
chance to collect all the tags that apply.
Defer dumping metrics until the FINALIZE phase of context destroy, so we
had a chance to get any metrics recorded.
This provides a way to get ahold of LWS_WITH_CONMON telemetry from Secure
Streams, it works the same with direct onward connections or via the proxy.
You can mark streamtypes with a "perf": true policy attribute... this
causes the onward connections on those streamtypes to collect information
about the connection performance, and the unsorted DNS results.
Streams with that policy attribute receive extra data in their rx callback,
with the LWSSS_FLAG_PERF_JSON flag set on it, containing JSON describing the
performance of the onward connection taken from CONMON data, in a JSON
representation. Streams without the "perf" attribute set never receive
this extra rx.
The received JSON is based on the CONMON struct info and looks like
{"peer":"46.105.127.147","dns_us":596,"sockconn_us":31382,"tls_us":28180,"txn_resp_us:23015,"dns":["2001:41d0:2:ee93::1","46.105.127.147"]}
A new minimal example minimal-secure-streams-perf is added that collects
this data on an HTTP GET from warmcat.com, and is built with a -client
version as well if LWS_WITH_SECURE_STREAMS_PROXY_API is set, that operates
via the ss proxy and produces the same result at the client.
Really not having any logs makes it difficult to know what is really
happening, but if that's you're thing this will align debug and release
modes to just have ERR and USER if you give WITH_NO_LOGS
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.
For SMP case, it was desirable to have a netlink listener per pt so they
could deal with pt-level changes in the pt's local service thread. But
Linux restricts the process to just one netlink listener.
We worked around it by only listening on pt[0], this aligns us a bit more
with the reality and moves to a single routing table in the context.
There's still more to do for SMP case locking.
The elaborated tags for ls owsi, vh, and ss objects are very useful
signposts to understand what's happening in the logs. But for busy
h1 servers, they're just a lot of noise.
This lets you stop the logging of tagged object lifecycle by cmake
-DLWS_LOG_TAG_LIFECYCLE=0
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 just runs each of the eventlib-foreign cases that are enabled, it doesn't
do a client action during the test yet since that's hard to arrange with ctest,
but it will catch most breakage.
Change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH order when looking for evlib plugins, so that it
searches there first, if given
