The callback flow is a bit more disruptive than doing the iteration
directly in your function. This helps by passing a user void *
into the callback set as an lws_dll[2]_foreach_safe() arg.
Although RSA can be used directly for signing / JWS
on large chunks of data since it's only operating on
the hash, when JWE support arrives, which allows bulk
encryption, it's going to be mandatory to support
secondary AES ciphers to use on the bulk data.
This adds generic support for all AES modes that OpenSSL
and mbedTLS have in common, works on both mbedTLS and
OpenSSL the same, and adds unit tests for each mode
in api-test-gencrypto, to run in CI.
Until now the JOSE pieces only had enough support for ACME.
This patch improves the JWK parsing to prepare for more
complete support and for adding JWE, genaes and genec in
later patches.
This provides a way to defer closing if the output buflist has
unsent content for the wsi, until the buflist is drained.
It doesn't make any assumption about the content being related
to http, so you can use it on raw.
It follows the semantics of the http transaction completed, ie
if (lws_raw_transaction_completed(wsi))
return -1
return 0;
transaction_complete includes processing for the case we are holding
an output-side buflist, and arranges for it to be sent before the
connection is actually closed.
This stops very slow links not being ablet to use git clone via
cgi mount, because the close races the flushing of the output-side
buflist and in the case the connection is bad, closes before
everything was sent.
Normalize the vhost options around optionally handling noncompliant
traffic at the listening socket for both non-tls and tls cases.
By default everything is as before.
However it's now possible to tell the vhost to allow noncompliant
connects to fall back to a specific role and protocol, both set
by name in the vhost creation info struct.
The original vhost flags allowing http redirect to https and
direct http serving from https server (which is a security
downgrade if enabled) are cleaned up and tested.
A minimal example minimal-raw-fallback-http-server is added with
switches to confirm operation of all the valid possibilities (see
the readme on that).
Until now basic auth only protected http actions in the protected
mount.
This extends the existing basic auth scheme to also be consulted for
ws upgrades if a "basic-auth" pvo exists on the selected protocol for
the vhost. The value of the pvo is the usual basic auth credentials
file same as for the http case.
The retry stuff for bind failures is actually aimed at the scenarios the interface
either doesn't exist yet, or is not configured enough (having an IP) to be bindable yet.
This patch treats EADDRINUSE as fatal at vhost init.
This lets you build using the runtime Address Sanitizer in gcc.
LWS is heavily tested with valgrind routinely during development. But ASAN
did find some theoretical-only issues with shifting, strictly ~(1 << 31) is
a signed int, it should be ~(1u << 31). Gcc does the same for both, but it's
good to have the ability to find these.
Audit all lws_hdr_copy() usages inside lws and make sure we
take care about it failing.
Also since the patch around aggregation of headers by ',',
lws_hdr_copy() needs a little more space in the output buffer,
adjust one place where that caused it to start failing in an
exact-sized buffer.
Until now the uv watcher has been composed in the wsi.
This works fine except in the case of a client wsi that
meets a redirect when the event loop is libuv with its
requirement for handle close via the event loop.
We want to reuse the wsi, since the originator of it has
a copy of the wsi pointer, and we want to conceal the
redirect. Since the redirect is commonly to a different
IP, we want to keep the wsi alive while closing its
socket cleanly. That's not too difficult, unless you are
using uv.
With UV the comoposed watcher is a disaster, since after
the close is requested the wsi will start to reconnect.
We tried to deal with that by copying the uv handle and
freeing it when the handle close finalizes. But it turns
out the handle is in a linked-list scheme in uv.
This patch hopefully finally solves it by giving the uv
handle its own allocation from the start. When we want
to close the socket and reuse the wsi, we simply take
responsibility for freeing the handle and set the wsi
watcher pointer to NULL.
