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.
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.
As it is, if time_t is 32-bit on the platform it might lead to
arithmetic overflow, so force it to lws_usec_t (uint64_t) even
though it works OK here on x86_64.
Add a minimal example aimed at testing the wsi hrtimer stability
consistently across platforms.
Add and disable by default hrtimer dump code (this is too expensive
and specific to internal testing to leave in for debug mode even if
it's not printed). If you hack it enabled, it will dump the sul
list for the pt and assert if the list is disordered.
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.
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
There are quite a few linked-lists of things that want events after
some period. This introduces a type binding an lws_dll2 for the
list and a lws_usec_t for the duration.
The wsi timeouts, the hrtimer and the sequencer timeouts are converted
to use these, also in the common event wait calculation.
lws_dll2 removes the downsides of lws_dll and adds new features like a
running member count and explicit owner type... it's cleaner and more
robust (eg, nodes know their owner, so they can casually switch between
list owners and remove themselves without the code knowing the owner).
This deprecates lws_dll, but since it's public it allows it to continue
to be built for 4.0 release if you give cmake LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_LWS_DLL.
All remaining internal users of lws_dll are migrated to lws_dll2.
Adapt service loops and event libs to use microsecond waits
internally, for hrtimer and sequencer. Reduce granularity
according to platform / event lib wait.
Add a helper so there's a single place to extend it.
