This leads to problems at the moment with sticky mux.requested_POLLOUT
causing writeable to not be sent.
Remove it and always set writeable on parents for now.
Secure Streams is an optional layer on top of lws that separates policy
like endpoint selection and tls cert validation into a device JSON
policy document.
Code that wants to open a client connection just specifies a streamtype name,
and no longer deals with details like the endpoint, the protocol (!) or anything
else other than payloads and optionally generic metadata; the JSON policy
contains all the details for each streamtype. h1, h2, ws and mqtt client
connections are supported.
Logical secure streams outlive any particular connection and supports "nailed-up"
connectivity regardless of underlying connection stability.
Headers related to ws or h2 are now elided if the ws or h2 role
is not enabled for build. In addition, a new build-time option
LWS_WITH_HTTP_UNCOMMON_HEADERS on by default allows removal of
less-common http headers to shrink the parser footprint.
Minilex is adapted to produce 8 different versions of the lex
table, chosen at build-time according to which headers are
included in the build.
If you don't need the unusual headers, or aren't using h2 or ws,
this chops down the size of the ah and the rodata needed to hold
the parsing table from 87 strings / pointers to 49, and the
parsing table from 1177 to 696 bytes.
This adds support for POST in both h1 and h2 queues / stream binding.
The previous queueing tried to keep the "leader" wsi who made the
actual connection around and have it act on the transaction queue
tail if it had done its own thing.
This refactors it so instead, who is the "leader" moves down the
queue and the queued guys inherit the fd, SSL * and queue from the
old leader as they take over.
This lets them operate in their own wsi identity directly and gets
rid of all the "effective wsi" checks, which was applied incompletely
and getting out of hand considering the separate lws_mux checks for
h2 and other muxed protocols alongside it.
This change also allows one wsi at a time to own the transaction for
POST. --post is added as an option to lws-minimal-http-client-multi
and 6 extra selftests with POST on h1/h2, pipelined or not and
staggered or not are added to the CI.
Add selectable event lib support to minimal-http-client-multi and
clean up context destroy flow so we can use lws_destroy_context() from
inside the callback to indicate we want to end the event loop, without
using the traditional "interrupted" flag and in a way that works no
matter which event loop backend is being used.
This provides support to build lws using the linkit 7697 public SDK
from here https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/mt7687-mt7697/en/downloads
This toolchain has some challenges, its int32_t / uint32_t are long,
so assumptions about format strings for those being %u / %d / %x all
break. This fixes all the cases for the features enabled by the
default cmake settings.
There are some minor public api type improvements rather than cast everywhere
inside lws and user code to work around them... these changed from int to
size_t
- lws_buflist_use_segment() return
- lws_tokenize_t .len and .token_len
- lws_tokenize_cstr() length
- lws_get_peer_simple() namelen
- lws_get_peer_simple_fd() namelen, int fd -> lws_sockfd_type fd
- lws_write_numeric_address() len
- lws_sa46_write_numeric_address() len
These changes are typically a NOP for user code
This changes the approach of tx credit management to set the
initial stream tx credit window to zero. This is the only way
with RFC7540 to gain the ability to selectively precisely rx
flow control incoming streams.
At the time the headers are sent, a WINDOW_UPDATE is sent with
the initial tx credit towards us for that specific stream. By
default, this acts as before with a 256KB window added for both
the stream and the nwsi, and additional window management sent
as stuff is received.
It's now also possible to set a member in the client info
struct and a new option LCCSCF_H2_MANUAL_RXFLOW to precisely
manage both the initial tx credit for a specific stream and
the ongoing rate limit by meting out further tx credit
manually.
Add another minimal example http-client-h2-rxflow demonstrating how
to force a connection's peer's initial budget to transmit to us
and control it during the connection lifetime to restrict the amount
of incoming data we have to buffer.
This should be a NOP for h2 support and only affects internal
apis. But it lets us reuse the working and reliable h2 mux
arrangements directly in other protocols later, and share code
so building for h2 + new protocols can take advantage of common
mux child handling struct and code.
Break out common mux handling struct into its own type.
Convert all uses of members that used to be in wsi->h2 to wsi->mux
Audit all references to the members and break out generic helpers
for anything that is useful for other mux-capable protocols to
reuse wsi->mux related features.
lws has been able to generate client multipart mime as shown
in minimal-http-client-post, but it requires a lot of user
boilerplate to handle the boundary, related transaction header,
and multipart headers.
This patch adds a client creation flag to indicate it will
carry multipart mime, which autocreates the boundary string
and applies the transaction header with it, and an api to
form the boundary headers between the different mime parts
and the terminating boundary.
This affects max header size since we use the latter half
of the pt_serv_buf to prepare the (possibly huge) auth token.
Adapt the pt_serv_buf_size in the hugeurl example.
Some servers set the tx credit to the absolute max and then add to it... this is illegal
(and checked for in h2spec). Add a quirk flag that works around it by reducing the
initial tx credit size by a factor of 16.
This shouldn't be necessary; just END_HEADERS flag should be enough.
But nghttp2 will not talk to us unless we end the stream from our side.
Unfortunately ending the stream at the time we sent the headers means
we cannot support the long poll half-close scheme. So add a quirk
flag to optionally support this behaviour of nghttp2 when the client
is creating the connection.
Refactor everything around ping / pong handling in ws and h2, so there
is instead a protocol-independent validity lws_sul tracking how long it
has been since the last exchange that confirms the operation of the
network connection in both directions.
Clean out periodic role callback and replace the last two role users
with discrete lws_sul for each pt.
It was already correct but add helpers to isolate and deduplicate
processing adding and closing a generically immortal stream.
Change the default 31s h2 network connection timeout to be settable
by .keepalive_timeout if nonzero.
Add a public api allowing a client h2 stream to transition to
half-closed LOCAL (by sending a 0-byte DATA with END_STREAM) and
mark itself as immortal to create a read-only long-poll stream
if the server allows it.
Add a vhost server option flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VH_H2_HALF_CLOSED_LONG_POLL
which allows the vhost to treat half-closed remotes as immortal long
poll streams.
With http, the protocol doesn't indicate where the headers end and the
next transaction or body begin. Until now, we handled that for client
header response parsing by reading from the tls buffer bytewise.
This modernizes the code to read in up to 256-byte chunks and parse
the chunks in one hit (the parse API is already set up for doing this
elsewhere).
Now we have a generic input buflist, adapt the parser loop to go through
that and arrange that any leftovers are placed on there.
Remove LWS_LATENCY.
Add the option LWS_WITH_DETAILED_LATENCY, allowing lws to collect very detailed
information on every read and write, and allow the user code to provide
a callback to process events.
Improve the code around stash, getting rid of the strdups for a net
code reduction. Remove the special destroy helper for stash since
it becomes a one-liner.
Trade several stack allocs in the client reset function for a single
sized brief heap alloc to reduce peak stack alloc by around 700 bytes.
wsi timeout, wsi hrtimer, sequencer timeout and vh-protocol timer
all now participate on a single sorted us list.
The whole idea of polling wakes is thrown out, poll waits ignore the
timeout field and always use infinite timeouts.
Introduce a public api that can schedule its own callback from the event
loop with us resolution (usually ms is all the platform can do).
Upgrade timeouts and sequencer timeouts to also be able to use us resolution.
Introduce a prepared fakewsi in the pt, so we don't have to allocate
one on the heap when we need it.
Directly handle vh-protocol timer if LWS_MAX_SMP == 1
When creating the stream from the nwsi, the stream was created with
its own user_space that gets overwritten with the nwsi one as it is
demoted to be the stream.
Stop that leaking.
