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
The --blob option requires GENCRYPTO that's not on by default, to handle
the hash checks... that's going to cause a lot of confusion because it
means the simplest ss example won't build by default then.
Let's remove the blob support (and GENCRYPTO dependency) from the simplest
example and make a new minimal-secure-streams-blob example that has --blob
support and the GENCRYPTO dependency as well.
Trying to use the opaque pointer in the handle to point to the conn isn't
going to work when we need it to point to the ss handle.
Move it to have its on place in the handle.
It's already the case that leaving off the "tls_trust_store" member of the
streamtype definition in the policy causes the streamtype to validate its
tls connections via the OS trust store, usually a bundle OpenSSL has been
configured to load at init automagically, but also literally the OS trust
store in windows case.
Add tests to confirm that.
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.
If the DNS lookup fails, we just sit out the remaining connect time.
The adapts it to reuse the wsi->sul_connect_timeout to schedule DNS lookup
retries until we're out of time.
Eventually we want to try other things as well, this is aligned with that.
Found with fault injection.
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.
