This leads to problems at the moment with sticky mux.requested_POLLOUT
causing writeable to not be sent.
Remove it and always set writeable on parents for now.
This adds support for POST in both h1 and h2 queues / stream binding.
The previous queueing tried to keep the "leader" wsi who made the
actual connection around and have it act on the transaction queue
tail if it had done its own thing.
This refactors it so instead, who is the "leader" moves down the
queue and the queued guys inherit the fd, SSL * and queue from the
old leader as they take over.
This lets them operate in their own wsi identity directly and gets
rid of all the "effective wsi" checks, which was applied incompletely
and getting out of hand considering the separate lws_mux checks for
h2 and other muxed protocols alongside it.
This change also allows one wsi at a time to own the transaction for
POST. --post is added as an option to lws-minimal-http-client-multi
and 6 extra selftests with POST on h1/h2, pipelined or not and
staggered or not are added to the CI.
Add selectable event lib support to minimal-http-client-multi and
clean up context destroy flow so we can use lws_destroy_context() from
inside the callback to indicate we want to end the event loop, without
using the traditional "interrupted" flag and in a way that works no
matter which event loop backend is being used.
This provides support to build lws using the linkit 7697 public SDK
from here https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/mt7687-mt7697/en/downloads
This toolchain has some challenges, its int32_t / uint32_t are long,
so assumptions about format strings for those being %u / %d / %x all
break. This fixes all the cases for the features enabled by the
default cmake settings.
There are some minor public api type improvements rather than cast everywhere
inside lws and user code to work around them... these changed from int to
size_t
- lws_buflist_use_segment() return
- lws_tokenize_t .len and .token_len
- lws_tokenize_cstr() length
- lws_get_peer_simple() namelen
- lws_get_peer_simple_fd() namelen, int fd -> lws_sockfd_type fd
- lws_write_numeric_address() len
- lws_sa46_write_numeric_address() len
These changes are typically a NOP for user code
This changes the approach of tx credit management to set the
initial stream tx credit window to zero. This is the only way
with RFC7540 to gain the ability to selectively precisely rx
flow control incoming streams.
At the time the headers are sent, a WINDOW_UPDATE is sent with
the initial tx credit towards us for that specific stream. By
default, this acts as before with a 256KB window added for both
the stream and the nwsi, and additional window management sent
as stuff is received.
It's now also possible to set a member in the client info
struct and a new option LCCSCF_H2_MANUAL_RXFLOW to precisely
manage both the initial tx credit for a specific stream and
the ongoing rate limit by meting out further tx credit
manually.
Add another minimal example http-client-h2-rxflow demonstrating how
to force a connection's peer's initial budget to transmit to us
and control it during the connection lifetime to restrict the amount
of incoming data we have to buffer.
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.
This affects max header size since we use the latter half
of the pt_serv_buf to prepare the (possibly huge) auth token.
Adapt the pt_serv_buf_size in the hugeurl example.
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.
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

"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.
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.
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
- split raw role into separate skt and file
- remove all special knowledge from the adoption
apis and migrate to core
- remove all special knowledge from client_connect
stuff, and have it discovered by iterating the
role callbacks to let those choose how to bind;
migrate to core
- retire the old deprecated client apis pre-
client_connect_info
