This adds support for multithreaded service to lws without adding any
threading or locking code in the library.
At context creation time you can request split the service part of the
context into n service domains, which are load-balanced so that the most
idle one gets the next listen socket accept.
There's a single listen socket on one port still.
User code may then spawn n threads doing n service loops / poll()s
simultaneously. Locking is only required (I think) in the existing
FD lock callbacks already handled by the pthreads server example,
and that locking takes place in user code. So the library remains
completely agnostic about the threading / locking scheme.
And by default, it's completely compatible with one service thread
so no changes are required by people uninterested in multithreaded
service.
However for people interested in extremely lightweight mass http[s]/
ws[s] service with minimum provisioning, the library can now do
everything out of the box.
To test it, just try
$ libwebsockets-test-server-pthreads -j 8
where -j controls the number of service threads

This adds redirect support to the client side. Lws will follow
server redirects (301) up to three deep.

This adds an api lws_close_reason() which lets you control what will
be sent in the close frame when the connection is closed by returning
nonzero from the user callback.
The test server demo is extended to prove it works in both directions.
With this, we should have nice close support.

The only guy who cared about this for a long while
(since I eliminated the pre-standard protocol variants)
was sending a close frame.
- Set it to 0 so old code remains happy. It only affects
user code buffer commit, if there's overcommit no harm
done so no effect directly on user ABI.
- Remove all uses inside the library. The sample apps
don't have it any more and that's the recommendation now.

Since struct lws (wsi) now has his own context pointer,
we were able to remove the need for passing context
almost everywhere in the apis.
In turn, that means there's no real use for context being
passed to every callback; in the rare cases context is
needed user code can get it with lws_get_ctx(wsi)

Extend the cleanout caused by wsi having a context pointer
into the public api.
There's no point keeping the 1.5 compatibility work,
we have changed the api in several places and
rebuilt wasn't going to be enough a while ago.

This is a rewrite of the patch from Soapyman here
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/pull/363
The main changes compared to Soapyman's original patch are
- There's no new stuff in the info struct user code does any overrides
it may want to do explicitly after lws_context_create returns
- User overrides for file ops can call through (subclass) to the original
platform implementation using lws_get_fops_plat()
- A typedef is provided for plat-specific fd type
- Public helpers are provided to allow user code to be platform-independent
about file access, using the lws platform file operations underneath:
static inline lws_filefd_type
lws_plat_file_open(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, const char *filename,
unsigned long *filelen, int flags)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_close(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd)
static inline unsigned long
lws_plat_file_seek_cur(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
long offset_from_cur_pos)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_read(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
unsigned long *amount, unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_write(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
unsigned long *amount, unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
There's example documentation and implementation in the test server.

This is off by default, use
-D LWS_WITH_OLD_API_WRAPPERS=1
on cmake to get the old api names exported from the library as wrappers
around the new api names.
This allows the library to continue to be compatible with apps that are
not rebuilt with the new libwebsockets.h api compatibility defines.

HTTP reject error code returned by server during HTTP handshake is extracted and sent to the client application.
With this fix, the Connection error callback will include the HTTP reject status code and response frame received from server. This string passed in Connection error callback can be read or ignored by client application based on client application requirement
merged by andy@warmcat.com via https://github.com/gaby64/libwebsockets-libev
To use, you need to both
- cmake ---> -DLWS_USE_LIBEV=1
- info->options must have LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV set when creating the context
this is so a single library can be built for distros to support apps that use
normal polling and apps that use libev polling.
This adds two new callbacks in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing limited thread
access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if you want to use
external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() you have to implement your
locking here even if you don't use external poll support.
If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing your list of
live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks (with your own locking).

If enabled one listening socket will accept both SSL and plain HTTP connections.
Do not enable if you regard SSL handshake as some kind of security, eg, use
client-side certs to restrict access.

As spotted by JM on Trac#40

client connect didn't do anything about being truly nonblocking. This patch
should hopefully solve that.
