1) This makes lwsws run a parent process with the original permissions.
But this process is only able to respond to SIGHUP, it doesn't do anything
else.
2) You can send this parent process a SIGHUP now to cause it to
- close listening sockets in existing lwsws processes
- mark those processes as to exit when the number of active connections
on the falls to zero
- spawn a fresh child process from scratch, using latest configuration
file content, latest plugins, etc. It can now reopen listening sockets
if it chooses to, or open different listen ports or whatever.
Notes:
1) lws_context_destroy() has been split into two pieces... the reason for
the split is the first part closes the per-vhost protocols, but since
they may have created libuv objects in the per-vhost protocol storage,
these cannot be freed until after the loop has been run.
That's the purpose of the second part of the context destruction,
lws_context_destroy2().
For compatibility, if you are not using libuv, the first part calls the
second part. However if you are using libuv, you must now call the
second part from your own main.c after the first part.
This adds a context creation-time member that points to something
that should be freed when the context is destroyed.
It's in preparation for context deprecation, when a context might
be destroyed asynchronously... a related external with the
lifetime of thee context should also be freed at that time.
Adapt lwsws to use it with the context "strings" (also used for
aligned structs created by the config) allocation.
This should allow adding vhosts "late", ie, after the server is up and
running with its initial vhost(s). The necessary housekeeping is folded
into lws_create_vhost() itself so it should be transparent.
Notice though that at the point the server starts to do service after it
starts initially, if it was requested that the UID / GID change, that
is performed at that point and is not reversible.
So vhosts added "late" find themselves running under the unprivileged
UID / GID from the very start, whereas vhosts added "early" initially
run under the UID / GID the process started with. If protocols the
vhost uses want to, eg, open privileged files at init and then use
them unprivileged, that will fail if the vhost is added late because
the initial privs are already gone.
AG: also deal with lws_protocol_init() on late vhost init (does the
callbacks for per vh protocol creation), add comments

lws_service_tsi() which has been around a while actually just
calls through to lws_plat_service_tsi(), meaning there is no
need to expose both apis.
Rename the internal lws_plat_service_tsi() to _lws_plat_service_tsi()
and replace the api export with a #define to lws_service_tsi for
compatibility's sake.
Thanks to Fabrice Gilot for reporting the problem that led to uncovering this.
Due to a misunderstanding of the return value of snprintf (it is not truncated according
to the max size passed in) in several places relying on snprintf to truncate the length
overflows are possible.
This patch wraps snprintf with a new lws_snprintf() which does truncate its length to allow
the buffer limiting scheme to work properly.
All users should update with these fixes.
This adds a new member to the context creation info struct "ws_ping_pong_interval".
If nonzero, it sets the number of seconds that established ws connections are
allowed to be idle before a PING is forced to be sent. If zero (the default) then
tracking of idle connection is disabled for backwards compatibility.
Timeouts cover both the period between decision to send the ping and it being
sent (because it needs the socket to become writeable), and the period between
the ping being sent and the PONG coming back.
INFO debug logs are issues when the timeout stuff is operating.
You can test the server side by running the test server hacked to set ws_ping_pong_interval
and debug log mask of 15. Both the mirror protocol and the server-status protocol are
idle if nothing is happening and will trigger the PING / PONG testing. (You can also
test using lwsws and /etc/lwsws/conf with "ws-pingpong-secs": "20" in the global section)
For client, run the test client with -n -P 20 for 20s interval. -n stops the test client
writing using the mirror protocol, so it will be idle and trigger the PING / PONGs.
The timeout interval may be up to +10s late, as lws checks for affected connections every
10s.
Users are starting to appear with clients sending more than the default max header
content buffer of 1024... with the advent of the ah pool the old reasons for keeping this
modest no longer apply, so up it to 4096 and reduce the default pool size to 4 from 16 to
keep the overall memory usage the same.
This clears up a couple of issues with client connect.
- if CLIENT_CONNECTION_ERROR is coming, which of the many
ways the rejection may have happened is documented in the
in argument. It's still possible if it just got hung up on
in will be NULL, but now it has MANY more canned strings
describing the issue available at the callback
"getaddrinfo (ipv6) failed"
"unknown address family"
"getaddrinfo (ipv4) failed"
"set socket opts failed"
"insert wsi failed"
"lws_ssl_client_connect1 failed"
"lws_ssl_client_connect2 failed"
"Peer hung up"
"read failed"
"HS: URI missing"
"HS: Redirect code but no Location"
"HS: URI did not parse"
"HS: Redirect failed"
"HS: Server did not return 200"
"HS: OOM"
"HS: disallowed by client filter"
"HS: disallowed at ESTABLISHED"
"HS: ACCEPT missing"
"HS: ws upgrade response not 101"
"HS: UPGRADE missing"
"HS: Upgrade to something other than websocket"
"HS: CONNECTION missing"
"HS: UPGRADE malformed"
"HS: PROTOCOL malformed"
"HS: Cannot match protocol"
"HS: EXT: list too big"
"HS: EXT: failed setting defaults"
"HS: EXT: failed parsing defaults"
"HS: EXT: failed parsing options"
"HS: EXT: Rejects server options"
"HS: EXT: unknown ext"
"HS: Accept hash wrong"
"HS: Rejected by filter cb"
"HS: OOM"
"HS: SO_SNDBUF failed"
"HS: Rejected at CLIENT_ESTABLISHED"
- until now the user code did not get the new wsi that was created
in the client connection action until it returned. However the
client connection action may provoke callbacks like
CLIENT_CONNECTION_ERROR before then, if multiple client connections
are initiated it makes it unknown to user code which one the callback
applies to. The wsi is provided in the callback but it has not yet
returned from the client connect api to give that wsi to the user code.
To solve that there is a new member added to client connect info struct,
pwsi, which lets you pass a pointer to a struct wsi * in the user code
that will get filled in with the new wsi. That happens before any
callbacks could be provoked, and it is updated to NULL if the connect
action fails before returning from the client connect api.
Openssl v1.0.2 and above have support for checking the hostname
the client side connected to against the hostname on the cert the
server presented.
This enables that feature if the necessary API is available in the
openssl version, meaning the connection will fail at ssl negotiation if the
cert isn't for the requested server
It's very easy to test, add a fake entry to /etc/hosts for the server IP with
a different name, using that will fail at ssl but using the correct dns name
matching the certificate will work.
When using http/1.1+ keepalive and mounts, the relationship between
a connection and a protocol becomes dynamic. The same connection might
visit different bits of the url space served by different mounts using
different protocols.
This patch ensures protocols can cleanly manage their per-connection
allocations by using the following callbacks when the protocol changes
LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BIND_PROTOCOL
LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_DROP_PROTOCOL
For example if the pss wants to malloc stuff at runtime, it should do it
in LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BIND_PROTOCOL or later, and clean it up in
...DROP_PROTOCOL.

Server ipv6 support disable is now controlled by vhost->options rather
than context->options, allowing it to be set per-vhost.

This makes it easy for user code to choose the size of the per-thread
buffer used by various things in lws, including file transfer chunking.
Previously it was 4096, if you leave info.pt_serv_buf_size as zero that
is still the default.
With some caveats, you can increase transfer efficiency by increasing it
to, eg, 128KiB, if that makes sense for your memory situation.
