thanks to Bruce Perens for noting it.
This doesn't change the intention or status of the CC0 files, they were
pure CC0 before (ie, public domain) and they are pure CC0 now. It just
gets rid of the (C) part at the top of the dedication which may be read
to be a bit contradictory since the purpose is to make it public domain.
This has no effect on user code or backward compatibility.
It moves the in-tree public api header libwebsockets.h from ./lib
to ./include, and introduces a dir ./include/libwebsockets/
The single public api header is split out into 31 sub-headers
in ./include/libwebsockets. ./include/libwebsockets.h contains
some core types and platform adaptation code, but the rest of it
is now 31 #include <libwebsockets/...>
At install time, /usr/[local/]include/libwebsockets.h is installed
as before, along now with the 31 sub-headers in ...include/libwebsockets/
There's no net effect on user code.
But the api header is now much easier to maintain and study, with 31
topic-based sub headers.
You can build lws without support for ws, with -DLWS_ROLE_WS=0.
This is thanks to the role ops isolating all the ws-specific business
in the ws role.
Also retire more test apps replaced by minmal-examples.
This completely removes the loop self-running stuff.
Static allocations (uv_idle, timers etc) are referenced-counted in the context
same as the wsi are. When lws wants to close, he first closes all his wsi, then
when that is completed in the uv close callbacks, he closes all of his static
uv handles. When that is also completed in the uv callbacks, he stops the loop
so the lws context can destroy and exit.
Any direct libuv allocations in protocol handlers must participate in the
reference counting. Two new apis are provided
- lws_libuv_static_refcount_add(handle, context) to mark the handle with
a pointer to the context and increment the global uv object counter
- lws_libuv_static_refcount_del() which should be used as the close callback
for your own libuv objects declared in the protocol scope.
This replaces the existing, unreleased lws_set_timer(wsi, secs) with
lws_set_timer_usecs(wsi, usecs).
wsi with a timer waiting are added to a linked-list sorted by the
timer trigger time.
1) poll() timeout (ie, poll wait) is trimmed to the nearest ms of the
first waiting timer if the default poll wait is longer than the
interval until the first waiting timer.
The linked-list of waiting timers is checked every entry and exit
from poll()... if no timers waiting or none reached their time
this costs almost nothing.
2) libuv: the earliest hrtimer is checked after every IO, again this
is costing nothing if the list head is NULL. If the case there
are hrtimers on the list, it costs a getimeofday (a VDSO in linux)
and more only if any of the timers have fired.
In addition on entry to libuv idle, if there are any waiting hrtimers
on the list, a libuv timer is used to force a wake in case we stay
idle (the libuv timer has ms resolution).
3) libev: not implemented
4) libevent: not implemented
Warnings are logged in the api is used on an event backend without
support. Patches welcome to add support similarly to libuv.
This adds a new api lws_set_timer(wsi, secs), which schedules
a callback LWS_CALLBACK_TIMER secs seconds into the future.
The timer can be continuously deferred by calling lws_set_timer()
again before it expires.
Calling lws_set_timer(wsi, -1) cancels any pending timer.
ESP32 module price is now within range of 8266 price.
ESP32 capability and OS support is hugely better than 8266,
we can support mbedtls tls, http/2 etc with ESP32.
I'm no longer testing on ESP8266... there's no more
user traffic... it's time to go.
HTTP/2 support is now able to serve the test server, complete with
websockets, from a single vhost.
- This works the same with both OpenSSL and mbedTLS.
- POST is now wired up and works (also for file upload).
- CGI is wired up and works.
- Redirect is adapted and works
- lwsws works.
- URI urldecode, sanitation and argument parsing wired up for :path
valgrind clean (aside from openssl-style false uninit data usage in mbedtls send occasionally)

Caused and fixes Coverity 184887 - 184892
Adds a new api lws_vhost_destroy(struct lws_vhost *) which allows dynamic removal of vhosts.
The external api calls two parts of internal helpers that get reused for context destroy.
The second part is called deferred by 5s... this is to ensure that event library objects
composed into structs owned by the vhost all have a chance to complete their close
asynchronously. That should happen immediately, but it requires us to return to the
event loop first.
The vhost being removed is deleted from the context vhost list by the first part, and does
not block further removals or creation during the delay for the deferred freeing of the
vhost memory.
Part 1:
- if the vhost owned a listen socket needed by other vhosts listening on same iface + port, the listen
socket is first handed off to another vhost so it stays alive
- all wsi still open on the vhost are forcibly closed (including any listen socket still attached)
- inform all active protocols on the vhost they should destroy themselves
- remove vhost from context vhost list (can no longer be found by incoming connections)
- add to a "being destroyed" context list and schedule the second part to be called in 5s
Part 2:
- remove us from the being destroyed list
- free all allocations owned by the vhost
- zero down the vhost and free the vhost itself
In libwebsockets-test-server, you can send it a SIGUSR1 to have it toggle the creation and destruction of
a second vhost on port + 1.
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.
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 trades off a couple of wsi pointers for vastly increased speed
for the callback when writeable "all protocol" variants when there
are many kinds of wsi active.

This
1) fixes the vhost changes on master
2) works around the ah pool changes
3) fixes some other build problems that appeared
4) hacks out physical flow control for internal streams
5) updates the advertised protocol to h2 needed by, eg, chrome 51
That gets it able to serve small (<4K, ie, one packet) files over http2

This adds support for dynamically loaded plugins at runtime, which
can expose their own protocols or extensions transparently.
With these changes lwsws defaults to OFF in cmake, and if enabled it
automatically enables plugins and libuv support.
