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
These two headers managed to avoid the global switch from
LGPL2.1 -> MIT back in the day, correct them to be aligned
with the rest of lws' own license, ie, MIT.
This fixes the proxy rx flow by adding an lws_dsh helper to hide the
off-by-one in the "kind" array (kind 0 is reserved for tracking the
unallocated dsh blocks).
For testing, it adds a --blob option on minimal-secure-streams[-client]
which uses a streamtype "bulkproxflow" from here
https://warmcat.com/policy/minimal-proxy-v4.2-v2.json
"bulkproxflow": {
"endpoint": "warmcat.com",
"port": 443,
"protocol": "h1",
"http_method": "GET",
"http_url": "blob.bin",
"proxy_buflen": 32768,
"proxy_buflen_rxflow_on_above": 24576,
"proxy_buflen_rxflow_off_below": 8192,
"tls": true,
"retry": "default",
"tls_trust_store": "le_via_dst"
}
This downloads a 51MB blob of random data with the SHA256sum
ed5720c16830810e5829dfb9b66c96b2e24efc4f93aa5e38c7ff4150d31cfbbf
The minimal-secure-streams --blob example client delays the download by
50ms every 10KiB it sees to force rx flow usage at the proxy.
It downloads the whole thing and checks the SHA256 is as expected.
Logs about rxflow status are available at LLL_INFO log level.
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.
This provides a build option LWS_WITH_CONMON that lets user code recover
detailed connection stats on client connections with the LCCSCF_CONMON
flag.
In addition to latencies for dns, socket connection, tls and first protocol
response where possible, it also provides the user code an unfiltered list
of DNS responses that the client received, and the peer it actually
succeded to connect to.
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
Until now we set metadata value pointers into the onward wsi ah data
area... that's OK until we get a situation the wsi has gone away before we
have a chance to deliver the metadata over the proxy link.
Add a variant lws_ss_alloc_set_metadata() that allocates space on the heap
and takes a copy of the input metadata. Change ss-h1 to alloc copies of
its metadata so we no longer race the wsi ah lifetime.
lws_ss_set_metadata can fail... eg, due to transient OOM situation... if it does,
caller must take appropriate action like disconnect and retry.
So mark the api as requiring the result checking, and make sure all the
examples do it.
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.
openssl v3-alpha11 has marked EC_KEY pieces as deprecated... we use it in
LWS_WITH_GENCRYPTO but the related RSA etc pieces were already deprecated
for that. We use EC_KEY pieces in vhost init...
The apis are not removed but deprecated, we should have a way to keep
trucking, but as it is the deprecation warning is promoted to an error.
Let's add LWS_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED_API_WARNINGS option off by default. If
enabled at cmake, external deprecated api warnings are suppressed. This
gives a general workaround for now for opensslv3.
In addition, even if you don't do that, let's notice we are on openssl v3
and don't build the EC curve selection stuff, I don't think anyone is
actually using it anyway.
Add .proxy_buflen_rxflow_on_above / .proxy_buflen_rxflow_off_below policy streamtype options
and manage the rx flow control for the onward ss wsi according to how the dsh for the
remote client is doing.
client_buflen_rxflow_... are there but not wired up.
Add the ability to just build plugins into the main library.
They are already designed to have a pinhole export for when
they are used as dynamic lib plugins so their namespace
does not conflict.
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
The various stream transitions for direct ss, SSPC, smd, and
different protocols are all handled in different code, let's
stop hoping for the best and add a state transition validation
function that is used everywhere we pass a state change to a
user callback, and knows what is valid for the user state()
callback to see next, given the last state it was shown.
Let's assert if lws manages to violate that so we can find
where the problem is and provide a stricter guarantee about
what user state handler will see, no matter if ss or sspc
or other cases.
To facilitate that, move the states to start from 1, where
0 indicates the state unset.
Let's allow the proxy to pass back what the policy says about
the size of dsh buffer the client side of this streamtype
should have.
Defer clientsize dsh generation until we got the info back
from the proxy in the response to the initial packet. If
it's zero / unset in the policy, just go with 32KB.
Let's add a byte on the first message that sspc clients send,
indicating the version of the serialization protocol that the
client was built with.
Start the version at 1, we will add some more changes in other
patches and call v1 (now it has the versioning baked in)
the first real supported serialization version, this patch must
be applied with the next patches to actually represent v1
protocol changes.
This doesn't require user setting, the client is told what version
it supports in LWS_SSS_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION. The proxy knows
what version(s) it can support and loudly hangs up on the client
if it doesn't understand its protocol version.
Add a helper to simplify passing smd ss rx traffic into the local
smd participants, excluding the rx that received it externally to
avoid looping.
Make the smd readme clearer with three diagrams and more explanation
of how the ss proxying works.
