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.
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.
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.
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
This adds a per-streamtype JSON mapping table in the policy.
In addition to the previous flow, it lets you generate custom
SS state notifications for specific http response codes, eg:
"http_resp_map": [ { "530": 1530 }, { "531": 1531 } ],
It's not recommended to overload the transport-layer response
code with application layer responses. It's better to return
a 200 and then in the application protocol inside http, explain
what happened from the application perspective, usually with
JSON. But this is designed to let you handle existing systems
that do overload the transport layer response code.
SS states for user use start at LWSSSCS_USER_BASE, which is
1000.
You can do a basic test with minimal-secure-streams and --respmap
flag, this will go to httpbin.org and get a 404, and the warmcat.com
policy has the mapping for 404 -> LWSSSCS_USER_BASE (1000).
Since the mapping emits states, these are serialized and handled
like any other state in the proxy case.
The policy2c example / tool is also updated to handle the additional
mapping tables.
At the moment you can define and set per-stream metadata at the client,
which will be string-substituted and if configured in the policy, set in
related outgoing protocol specific content like h1 headers.
This patch extends the metadata concept to also check incoming protocol-
specific content like h1 headers and where it matches the binding in the
streamtype's metadata entry, make it available to the client by name, via
a new lws_ss_get_metadata() api.
Currently warmcat.com has additional headers for
server: lwsws (well-known header name)
test-custom-header: hello (custom header name)
minimal-secure-streams test is updated to try to recover these both
in direct and -client (via proxy) versions. The corresponding metadata
part of the "mintest" stream policy from warmcat.com is
{
"srv": "server:"
}, {
"test": "test-custom-header:"
},
If built direct, or at the proxy, the stream has access to the static
policy metadata definitions and can store the rx metadata in the stream
metadata allocation, with heap-allocated a value. For client side that
talks to a proxy, only the proxy knows the policy, and it returns rx
metadata inside the serialized link to the client, which stores it on
the heap attached to the stream.
In addition an optimization for mapping static policy metadata definitions
to individual stream handle metadata is changed to match by name.
Change the default to not process multipart mime at SS layer.
If it's desired, then set "http_multipart_ss_in" true in the policy on the streamtype.
To test, use lws-minimal-secure-streams-avs, which uses SS processing as it is.
To check it without the processing, change #if 1 to #if 0 around the policy for
"http_multipart_ss_in" in both places in avs.c, and also enable the hexdump in ss_avs_metadata_rx()
also in avs.c, and observe the multipart framing is passed through unchanged.
Add initial support for defining servers using Secure Streams
policy and api semantics.
Serving h1, h2 and ws should be functional, the new minimal
example shows a combined http + SS server with an incrementing
ws message shown in the browser over tls, in around 200 lines
of user code.
NOP out anything to do with plugins, they're not currently used.
Update the docs correspondingly.
Adapt the pt sul owner list to be an array, and define two different lists,
one that acts like before and is the default for existing users, and another
that has the ability to cooperate with systemwide suspend to restrict the
interval spent suspended so that it will wake in time for the earliest
thing on this wake-suspend sul list.
Clean the api a bit and add lws_sul_cancel() that only needs the sul as the
argument.
Add a flag for client creation info to indicate that this client connection
is important enough that, eg, validity checking it to detect silently dead
connections should go on the wake-suspend sul list. That flag is exposed in
secure streams policy so it can be added to a streamtype with
"swake_validity": true
Deprecate out the old vhost timer stuff that predates sul. Add a flag
LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_THINGS in cmake so users can get it back temporarily
before it will be removed in a v4.2.
Adapt all remaining in-tree users of it to use explicit suls.
lejp_parse() return type is an int... but in the function, the temp
for it is a char. This leads to badness that is currently worked
around by casting the return through a signed char type.
But that leads to more badness since if there's >127 bytes of buffer
left after the end of the JSON object, we misreport it.
Bite the bullet and fix the temp type, and fix up all the guys
who were working around it at the caller return casting to use the
resulting straight int.
If you are using this api, remove any casting you may have cut-
and-pasted like this
n = (int)(signed char)lejp_parse(...);
... to just be like this...
n = lejp_parse(...);
In some cases devices may be too constrained to handle JSON policies but still
want to use SS apis and methodology.
This introduces an off-by-default cmake option LWS_WITH_SECURE_STREAMS_STATIC_POLICY_ONLY,
if enabled the JSON parsing part is excluded and it's assumed the user code
provides its policy as hardcoded policy structs.
