When creating a vhost and the port is already bound to another process
this flag would allow the user code to choose to have the
lws_create_vhost function to fail and return a null pointer.
Otherwise it often forgets to inform about event loop interrupts. Add a flag to the per thread context, set it in the signal function, then check / reset it in the service method.
Building with LWS_WITH_ASAN was broken when using Clang, due to some
flags being given that Clang doesn't recognize.
Fixed this by adding those flags only when the compiler isn't Clang.
SMTP was improved to use the new abstract stuff a while ago,
but it was only implemented with raw socket abstract transport,
and a couple of 'api cheats' remained passing network information
for the peer connection through the supposedly abstract apis.
This patch adds a flexible generic token array to supply
abstract transport-specific information through the abstract apis,
removing the network information from the abstract connect() op.
The SMTP minimal example is modified to use this new method to
pass the network information.
The abstract transport struct was opaque, but there are real
uses to override it in user code, so this patch also makes it
part of the public abi.
An lws context usually contains a processwide fd -> wsi lookup table.
This allows any possible fd returned by a *nix type OS to be immediately
converted to a wsi just by indexing an array of struct lws * the size of
the highest possible fd, as found by ulimit -n or similar.
This works modestly for Linux type systems where the default ulimit -n for
a process is 1024, it means a 4KB or 8KB lookup table for 32-bit or
64-bit systems.
However in the case your lws usage is much simpler, like one outgoing
client connection and no serving, this represents increasing waste. It's
made much worse if the system has a much larger default ulimit -n, eg 1M,
the table is occupying 4MB or 8MB, of which you will only use one.
Even so, because lws can't be sure the OS won't return a socket fd at any
number up to (ulimit -n - 1), it has to allocate the whole lookup table
at the moment.
This patch looks to see if the context creation info is setting
info->fd_limit_per_thread... if it leaves it at the default 0, then
everything is as it was before this patch. However if finds that
(info->fd_limit_per_thread * actual_number_of_service_threads) where
the default number of service threads is 1, is less than the fd limit
set by ulimit -n, lws switches to a slower lookup table scheme, which
only allocates the requested number of slots. Lookups happen then by
iterating the table and comparing rather than indexing the array
directly, which is obviously somewhat of a performance hit.
However in the case where you know lws will only have a very few wsi
maximum, this method can very usefully trade off speed to be able to
avoid the allocation sized by ulimit -n.
minimal examples for client that can make use of this are also modified
by this patch to use the smaller context allocations.
The fix in 1d6128d1fe worked for
MinGW with GCC7, but GCC8 evidentially got smarter, and it
also substitutes bzero->memset for larger arrays.
Set the emitted warning as an error to avoid misdetection.

Although the code exists for non-tls h1 upgrade to h2, it hasn't been looked
after since all expected uses for h2 are going to be via h2 / alpn.
This patch aligns its upgrade actions with alpn upgrade path so it works OK
via
$ curl --http2 http://localhost:7681/ -v -w "\n"
ie, without tls. Operation via tls is unaffected.
To use the non-tls upgrade path, you have to be listening without tls, ie with the
test server without -s. If you're listening in a way that requires tls, this
can't be used to bypass that (or, eg, client certs) in itself, since you have to be
able to talk to it in h1 in the first place to attempt the upgrade to h2.
The common h2 path has some code to dropping the ah unconditionally it looks
like after the first service... this is too aggressive since the first thing
coming on the upgrade path is WINDOW_UPDATE. It looks wrong anyway, transaction /
stream completion will drop the ah and should be enough.
Generic sessions has been overdue some love to align it with
the progress in the rest of lws.
1) Strict Content Security Policy
2) http2 compatibility
3) fixes and additions for use in a separate process via unix domain socket
4) work on ws and http proxying in lws
5) add minimal example

This doesn't change the intention or status of the CC0 files, they were
pure CC0 before (ie, public domain) and they are pure CC0 now. It just
gets rid of the (C) part at the top of the dedication which may be read
to be a bit contradictory since the purpose is to make it public domain.

rx flow control needs to handle the situation that it is draining from
a previous rx flow control period, and the user code reasserts rx flow
control partway through that.
The accounting for the used rx then boils down to only trimming the
rxflow buflist we were "replaying" to consume however much we managed
to deliver of that this time before the rx flow control came again.
"Normal" rx consumption is wrong in this case, since we accounted for
it entirely in the rxflow cache buflist.
The patch recognizes this situation, does the accounting in the cache
buflist, and then lies to the caller that there was no rx consumption
to be accounted for at his level.
- prioritize user-defined mimetypes over predefined server mimetypes.
- fix accessing memory out of string bounds.
- prefer case-insensitive comparison for extension matching.
- other minor fixes and improvements.
