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.
Although the test apps reuse the context info directly and so inherit the
flag state there when creating vhosts, users might generate a fresh info
without the flag for vhost creation. So just go by what was given at
context creation time.
The unused variable was only declared for use in a log macro that's
compiled out with the above compiler switch. I removed the declaration
and casted the variable at each use in the block.
AG: convert to void case reference irrespective of logging enabled.
AG: travis.yml: add -DLWS_WITH_NO_LOGS=ON that also enables lwsws + cgi code
AG: move new member to end of info,
allow info member even on nonsupporting platform,
document requires root,
apply only to listen skt before we drop root,
add -k to test server to allow testing
AG:
- move creation info members to end of struct
- add LWS_WITH_SOCKS5 CMake var, defaults to OFF
- cast away some warnings about signed / unsigned in strncpy

1) There's now a .fops pointer that can be set in the context creation info. If set, the array of
fops it points to (terminated by an entry with .open = NULL) is walked to find out the best vfs filesystem
path match (comparing the vfs path to fops.path_prefix) for which fops to use.
If none given (.fops is NULL in info) then behaviour is as before, fops are the platform-provided one only.
2) The built in fileserving now walks any array of fops looking for the best fops match automatically.
3) lws_plat_file_... apis are renamed to lws_vfs_file_...
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.
This adds a context creation-time member that points to something
that should be freed when the context is destroyed.
It's in preparation for context deprecation, when a context might
be destroyed asynchronously... a related external with the
lifetime of thee context should also be freed at that time.
Adapt lwsws to use it with the context "strings" (also used for
aligned structs created by the config) allocation.
This should allow adding vhosts "late", ie, after the server is up and
running with its initial vhost(s). The necessary housekeeping is folded
into lws_create_vhost() itself so it should be transparent.
Notice though that at the point the server starts to do service after it
starts initially, if it was requested that the UID / GID change, that
is performed at that point and is not reversible.
So vhosts added "late" find themselves running under the unprivileged
UID / GID from the very start, whereas vhosts added "early" initially
run under the UID / GID the process started with. If protocols the
vhost uses want to, eg, open privileged files at init and then use
them unprivileged, that will fail if the vhost is added late because
the initial privs are already gone.
AG: also deal with lws_protocol_init() on late vhost init (does the
callbacks for per vh protocol creation), add comments
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.
This makes it easy for user code to choose the size of the per-thread
buffer used by various things in lws, including file transfer chunking.
Previously it was 4096, if you leave info.pt_serv_buf_size as zero that
is still the default.
With some caveats, you can increase transfer efficiency by increasing it
to, eg, 128KiB, if that makes sense for your memory situation.

Also add lwsws "enable-client-ssl": "1" vhost option to match.
Client cert iclient ssl is not supported in lwsws, if someone wants it, it can be added.

Actually lwsws doesn't need his own protocol handler even for http
any more. The default http handler in lws should do everything.
Move the cgi routing into lws default http protocol handler, and
delete lwsws one. Remove all protocols from lwsws so the lws
default one gets used.
With this, and the earlier move of lejp into lws, lwsws itself
becomes 15.5KB of x86_64 (mainly conf parsing).
