This adds h2 http support for the client api.
The public client api requires no changes, it will detect by
ALPN if the server can handle http/2, if so, it will use it.
Multiple client connections using the lws api will be mapped on
to the same single http/2 + tls socket using http/2 streams
that are serviced simultaneously where possible.
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.
Previously down network interfaces without an IPv4 address are
removed from the posix api that lists network interfaces.
That means if you bound a vhost listen socket to a particular
interface, it will fail at startup time.
This patch adds these vhosts to a list, starts the vhost without
a listen socket, and checks to see if the vhost's network interface
has appeared while the rest of lws is running.
If it appears, the listen socket is opened on the network interface
and the vhost becomes reachable.
AG: unlike openssl, mbedtls does not load the system trust store.
So this change will make client tls operations that work OK on openssl fail on
mbedtls unless you provide the correct CA cert.
This allows lws to distinguish between untrusted CAs, hostname
mismatches, expired certificates.
NOTE: LCCSCF_ALLOW_SELFSIGNED actually allows for untrusted CAs, and
will also skip hostname verification. This is somewhat a limitiation of
the current lws verification process.
AG: improve error reporting up to the CLIENT_CONNECTION_ERROR argument
and add a note specific to mbedtls in the test client. Adapt the test
client to note the CA requirement if built with mbedTLS. Adapt the
minimal test clients to have the CAs available and use them if mbedTLS.
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 is just an internal mass change of LWS_NO_EXTENSIONS to
LWS_WITHOUT_EXTENSIONS to match the public name and eliminate
all instances of LWS_NO_EXTENSIONS.
This allows you to set a 404 handler URL on a vhost.
The necessary user code looks like...
info.error_document_404 = "/404.html";
... at vhost-creation time.
In the existing lws_return_http_status() api, if it sees
the vhost has an "error_document_404" path set and that
we are trying to report a 404, it changes the action
instead to a redirect to the error_document_404 path.
The redirect target is returned using 404 status code.
If the redirect target doesn't exist, then it falls back
to just reporting the simple canned 404.
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.
This provides platform-independent support for time discontiguities.
On embedded without battery RTC, commonly we only get time after
NTP completes. This makes the cert checking happen when we have
a reasonable time and introduces lws_compare_time_t() to correctly
compare time_t s that may sit on either side of a time discontiguity.
The union used to make a lot of sense to save space between
mutually exclusive modes. But the fact the http2 struct
contains the http1 struct as well as it appearing in the
union means the http1 struct belongs outside the union.
This patch
- eliminates the union
- puts the http_related struct directly in struct lws
- removes http_related from h2
- puts h2 directly in struct lws if enabled for build
- changes ws to be a pointer, allocated if we upgrade to ws
(the ws part contains a 135 byte char array for ping / close)
Again all of this is entirely private / internal and doesn't affect
any apis.
Migrate what used to be in lws_hdr_related into either the ah
or the wsi, and eliminate it along with the three different ways
used to access things inside it.
Eg wsi->u.hdr.ah and wsi->u.http.ah become wsi->ah
These changes are internal-only, in private-libwebsockets.h and lib.
