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.

"dead bodies" that were sent but not processed by lws as server
will clog up and destroy transaction tracking if repeated POSTs
with keepalive are sent to nonexistant paths.
This patch introduces a DISCARD_BODY state that follows BODY
except the payload is not signalled to the protocol callback.
Calling transaction_completed() with pending body makes lws
enter DISCARD_BODY and retry transaction completed only after
the pending body is exhausted.

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.
lws has been able to proxy h2 or h1 inbound connections to an
h1 onward connection for a while now. It's simple to use just
build with LWS_WITH_HTTP_PROXY and make a mount where the origin
is the onward connection details. Unix sockets can also be
used as the onward connection.
This patch extends the support to be able to also do the same for
inbound h2 or h1 ws upgrades to an h1 ws onward connection as well.
This allows you to offer completely different services in a
common URL space, including ones that connect back by ws / wss.
Until now lws only parses headers it knows at build-time from its
prebuilt lexical analyzer.
This adds an on-by-default cmake option and a couple of apis
to also store and query "custom", ie, unknown-to-lws headers.
A minimal example is also provided.
At the moment it only works on h1, h2 support needs improvements
to the hpack implementation.
Since it bloats ah memory usage compared to without it if custom
headers are present, the related code and ah footprint can be
disabled with the cmake option LWS_WITH_CUSTOM_HEADERS, but it's
on by default normally. ESP32 platform disables it.

1) update the logos to svg
2) add svg icon for strict security policy where used
3) define new vhost option flag to enforce sending CSP headers
with the result code
4) add vhost option flag to minimal examples to
enforce sending CSP where applicable
5) Go through all the affecting examples confirming they
still work
6) add LWS_RECOMMENDED_MIN_HEADER_SPACE constant (currently
2048) to clarify when we need a buffer to hold headers...
with CSP the headers have become potentially a lot
larger.
Since the NUL was always taken care of at the end of buf, the worst it could
do was log some junk. This makes it explicitly log it as oversize separately.
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.
This allows the client stuff to understand that addresses beginning with '+'
represent unix sockets.
If the first character after the '+' is '@', it understands that the '@'
should be read as '\0', in order to use Linux "abstract namespace"
sockets.
Further the lws_parse_uri() helper is extended to understand the convention
that an address starting with + is a unix socket, and treats the socket
path as delimited by ':', eg
http://+/var/run/mysocket:/my/path
HTTP Proxy is updated to allow mounts to these unix socket paths.
Proxy connections go out on h1, but are dynamically translated to h1 or h2
on the incoming side.
Proxy usage of libhubbub is separated out... LWS_WITH_HTTP_PROXY is on by
default, and LWS_WITH_HUBBUB is off by default.
Add generic http compression layer eanbled at cmake with LWS_WITH_HTTP_STREAM_COMPRESSION.
This is wholly a feature of the HTTP role (used by h1 and h2 roles) and doesn't exist
outside that context.
Currently provides 'deflate' and 'br' compression methods for server side only.
'br' requires also -DLWS_WITH_HTTP_BROTLI=1 at cmake and the brotli libraries (available in
your distro already) and dev package.
Other compression methods can be added nicely using an ops struct.
The built-in file serving stuff will use this is the client says he can handle it, and the
mimetype of the file either starts with "text/" (html and css etc) or is the mimetype of
Javascript.
zlib allocates quite a bit while in use, it seems to be around 256KiB per stream. So this
is only useful on relatively strong servers with lots of memory. However for some usecases
where you are serving a lot of css and js assets, it's a nice help.
The patch performs special treatment for http/1.1 pipelining, since the compression is
performed on the fly the compressed content-length is not known until the end. So for h1
only, chunked transfer-encoding is automatically added so pipelining can continue of the
connection.
For h2 the chunking is neither supported nor required, so it "just works".
User code can also request to add a compression transform before the reply headers were
sent using the new api
LWS_VISIBLE int
lws_http_compression_apply(struct lws *wsi, const char *name,
unsigned char **p, unsigned char *end, char decomp);
... this allows transparent compression of dynamically generated HTTP. The requested
compression (eg, "deflate") is only applied if the client headers indicated it was
supported, otherwise it's a NOP.
Name may be NULL in which case the first compression method in the internal table at
stream.c that is mentioned as acceptable by the client will be used.
NOTE: the compression translation, same as h2 support, relies on the user code using
LWS_WRITE_HTTP and then LWS_WRITE_HTTP_FINAL on the last part written. The internal
lws fileserving code already does this.
Various kinds of input stashing were replaced with a single buflist before
v3.0... this patch replaces the partial send arrangements with its own buflist
in the same way.
Buflists as the name says are growable lists of allocations in a linked-list
that take care of book-keeping what's added and removed (even if what is
removed is less than the current buffer on the list).
The immediate result is that we no longer have to freak out if we had a partial
buffered and new output is coming... we can just pile it on the end of the
buflist and keep draining the front of it.
Likewise we no longer need to be rabid about reporting multiple attempts to
send stuff without going back to the event loop, although not doing that
will introduce inefficiencies we don't have to term it "illegal" any more.
Since buflists have proven reliable on the input side and the logic for dealing
with truncated "non-network events" was already there this internal-only change
should be relatively self-contained.
HTTP server protocols have had for a while LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_DROP/BIND_PROTOCOL
callbacks that mark when a wsi is attched to a protocol and detached.
It turns out this is generally useful for everything to know when a wsi is
joining a protocol and definitively completely finished with a protocol.
Particularly with client wsi where you provided the userdata externally, this
makes a clear point to free() it on the protocol binding being dropped.
This patch adds protocol bind / unbind callbacks to the role definition and
lets them operate on all roles. For the various roles
HTTP server: LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL as before
HTTP client: LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_HTTP_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL
ws server: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_SERVER_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL
ws client: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_CLIENT_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL
raw file: LWS_CALLBACK_RAW_FILE_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL
raw skt: LWS_CALLBACK_RAW_SKT_BIND/DROP_PROTOCOL
