There are two kinds of reaason to call lws_header_table_reset(), one is we are reallocating
a destroyed ah to another wsi, and the other is we are moving to the next pipelined header set
still on the same wsi, and we need a "weaker" reset that only clears down the state related
to the header parsing, not everything about the ah context including the ah rx buffer.
This patch moves the ah rxbuffer rxpos and rxlen resetting out of lws_header_table_reset() and to
be the responsibility of the caller. Callers who are moving the ah to another wsi are
patched to deal with resetting rxpos and rxlen and lws_http_transaction_completed() who only
resets the ah when moving to the next pipelined headers, no longer wrongly clears the ah rxbuf.

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.
RFC2616 only says that any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body
SHOULD include a Content-Type header field defining the media type of
that body.
RFC2119 defines SHOULD as: This word mean that there may exist valid
reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but
the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before
choosing a different course.
AG: this isn't an oversight, it's paranoia about sending out /etc/passwd
or /etc/shadow accidentally.
I agree it should be allowed if people really want to override it. But
the default should remain like it is I think.
I adapted the patch to allow the extra mimetype "*": "" to be declared on
a mount, as a wildcard match that serves the file without a Content-Type.
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.
