* Move transport.[ch] to SPGarrett D'Amore2021-07-09

* fixes #1071 tran_chkopt can be cleaned upGarrett D'Amore2020-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a sweeping cleanup of the transport logic around options, and also harmonizes the names used when setting or getting options. Additionally, legacy methods are now moved into a separate file and can be elided via CMake or a preprocessor define. Fundamentally, the ability to set to transport options via the socket is deprecated; there are numerous problems with this and my earlier approaches to deal with this have been somewhat misguided. Further these approaches will not work with future protocol work that is planned (were some options need to be negotiated with peers at the time of connection establishment.) Documentation has been updated to reflect this. The test suites still make rather broad use of the older APIs, and will be converted later.
* fixes #872 create unified nng_stream APIGarrett D'Amore2019-02-16
| | | | | | | | | This is a major change, and includes changes to use a polymorphic stream API for all transports. There have been related bugs fixed along the way. Additionally the man pages have changed. The old non-polymorphic APIs are removed now. This is a breaking change, but the old APIs were never part of any released public API.
* fixes #835 inproc should use new option APIGarrett D'Amore2018-12-31
| | | | | Some more changes to use nni_type instead of nni_opt_type are included as well.
* IPC option rework (pipe/conn) to reduce code duplication.Garrett D'Amore2018-12-29

* fixes #831 Unify option structures, o_type is unusedGarrett D'Amore2018-12-29

* move all public headers to include/nng/ folderGregor Burger2018-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | This change makes embedding nng + nggpp (or other projects depending on nng) in cmake easier. The header files are moved to a separate include directory. This also makes installation of the headers easier, and allows clearer identification of private vs public heade files. Some additional cleanups were performed by @gedamore, but the main credit for this change belongs with @gregorburger.
* fixes #522 Separate out the endpoint plumbingGarrett D'Amore2018-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | This separates the plumbing for endpoints into distinct dialer and listeners. Some of the transports could benefit from further separation, but we've done some rather larger separation e.g. for the websocket transport. IPC would be a good one to update later, when we start looking at exposing a more natural underlying API.
* fixes #540 nni_ep_opttype serves no purposeGarrett D'Amore2018-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #538 setopt should have an explicit chkopt routine fixes #537 Internal TCP API needs better name separation fixes #524 Option types should be "typed" This is a rework of the option management code, to make it both clearer and to prepare for further work to break up endpoints. This reduces a certain amount of dead or redundant code, and actually saves cycles when setting options, as some loops were not terminated that should have been.
* fixes #419 want to nni_aio_stop without blocking (#428)Garrett D'Amore2018-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * fixes #419 want to nni_aio_stop without blocking This actually introduces an nni_aio_close() API that causes nni_aio_begin to return NNG_ECLOSED, while scheduling a callback on the AIO to do an NNG_ECLOSED as well. This should be called in non-blocking close() contexts instead of nni_aio_stop(), and the cases where we call nni_aio_fini() multiple times are updated updated to add nni_aio_stop() calls on all "interlinked" aios before finalizing them. Furthermore, we call nni_aio_close() as soon as practical in the close path. This closes an annoying race condition where the callback from a lower subsystem could wind up rescheduling an operation that we wanted to abort.

* fixes #173 Define public HTTP server APIGarrett D'Amore2018-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces enough of the HTTP API to support fully server applications, including creation of websocket style protocols, pluggable handlers, and so forth. We have also introduced scatter/gather I/O (rudimentary) for aios, and made other enhancements to the AIO framework. The internals of the AIOs themselves are now fully private, and we have eliminated the aio->a_addr member, with plans to remove the pipe and possibly message members as well. A few other minor issues were found and fixed as well. The HTTP API includes request, response, and connection objects, which can be used with both servers and clients. It also defines the HTTP server and handler objects, which support server applications. Support for client applications will require a client object to be exposed, and that should be happening shortly. None of this is "documented" yet, bug again, we will follow up shortly.
* fixes #219 transports should take URL structure instead of string addressGarrett D'Amore2018-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | This eliminates a bunch of redundant URL parsing, using the common URL logic we already have in place. While here I fixed a problem with the TLS and WSS test suites that was failing on older Ubuntu -- apparently older versions of mbedTLS were unhappy if selecting OPTIONAL verification without a validate certificate chain.
* Convert existing websocket and http code to use new URL framework.Garrett D'Amore2018-01-05
| | | | | | This also fixes a use-after-free bug in the HTTP framework, where the handler could be deleted why callbacks were still using it. (We now reference count the handlers.)
* fixes #166 Websocket TLS mappingGarrett D'Amore2017-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the wss:// scheme, which is available and works like the ws:// scheme if TLS is enabled in the library. The library modularization is refactored somewhat, to make it easier to use. There is now a single NNG_ENABLE_TLS that enables TLS support under the hood. This also adds a new option for the TLS transport, NNG_OPT_TLS_CONFIG (and a similar one for WSS, NNG_OPT_TLS_WSS_CONFIG) that offer access to the underlying TLS configuration object, which now has a public API to go with it as well. Note that it is also possible to use pure HTTPS using the *private* API, which will be exposed in a public form soon.
* fixes #2 Websocket transportGarrett D'Amore2017-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a rather large changeset -- it fundamentally adds websocket transport, but as part of this changeset we added a generic framework for both HTTP and websocket. We also made some supporting changes to the core, such as changing the way timeouts work for AIOs and adding additional state keeping for AIOs, and adding a common framework for deferred finalization (to avoid certain kinds of circular deadlocks during resource cleanup). We also invented a new initialization framework so that we can avoid wiring in knowledge about them into the master initialization framework. The HTTP framework is not yet complete, but it is good enough for simple static serving and building additional services on top of -- including websocket. We expect both websocket and HTTP support to evolve considerably, and so these are not part of the public API yet. Property support for the websocket transport (in particular address properties) is still missing, as is support for TLS. The websocket transport here is a bit more robust than the original nanomsg implementation, as it supports multiple sockets listening at the same port sharing the same HTTP server instance, discriminating between them based on URI (and possibly the virtual host). Websocket is enabled by default at present, and work to conditionalize HTTP and websocket further (to minimize bloat) is still pending.
* fixes #3 TLS transportGarrett D'Amore2017-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new transport (compatible with the TLS transport from mangos), using TLS v1.2. To use the new transport, you must have the mbed TLS library available on your system (Xenial libmbedtls-dev). You can use version 2.x or newer -- 1.3.x and PolarSSL versions are not supported. You enable the TLS transport with -DNNG_TRANSPORT_TLS=ON in the CMake configuration. You must configure the server certificate by default, and this can only be done using nng options. See the nng_tls man page for details. This work is experimental, and was made possible by Capitar IT Group BV, and Staysail Systems, Inc.
* fixes #143 Protocols and transports should be "configurable"Garrett D'Amore2017-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes all the protocols and transports optional. All of them except ZeroTier are enabled by default, but you can now disable them (remove from the build) with cmake options. The test suite is modified so that tests still run as much as they can, but skip over things caused by missing functionality from the library (due to configuration). Further, the constant definitions and prototypes for functions that are specific to transports or protocols are moved into appropriate headers, which should be included directly by applications wishing to use these. We have also added and improved documentation -- all of the transports are documented, and several more man pages for protocols have been added. (Req/Rep and Surveyor are still missing.)
* Various man page fixups, add inproc header.Garrett D'Amore2017-10-24
| | | | | | | We added nng_inproc man page, and a header with an explicit registration method for it. We also fixed up the markup on several other pages, and corrected the include statements for nng_zerotier.
* Refactor option handling APIs.Garrett D'Amore2017-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the APIs use string keys, and largely eliminates the use of integer option IDs altogether. The underlying registration for options is also now a bit richer, letting protcols and transports declare the actual options they use, rather than calling down into each entry point carte blanche and relying on ENOTSUP. This code may not be as fast as the integers was, but it is more intuitive, easier to extend, and is not on any hot code paths. (If you're diddling options on a hot code path you're doing something wrong.)
* Introduce utility safe string handling functions.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-28
| | | | | | | | We have our versions of strdup, strlcat, and strlcpy. This means we can avoid using snprintf() in many cases (saving cycles), and we can get safer checks. We use the platform supplied versions of these if they exist (wrapping with nni_xxx versions.)
* Endpoint API completely implemented.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-18
| | | | | | This supports creating listeners and dialers, managing options on them (though only a few options are supported at present), starting them and closing them, all independently.
* fixes #39 Transport ops vector should be versionedGarrett D'Amore2017-08-17
| | | | | | This also includes tests for some of the edge cases surrounding pluggable transports, such as version mismatch, duplication registration, and failure to initialize.
* Provide versions of mutex, condvar, and aio init that never fail.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the underlying platform fails (FreeBSD is the only one I'm aware of that does this!), we use a global lock or condition variable instead. This means that our lock initializers never ever fail. Probably we could eliminate most of this for Linux and Darwin, since on those platforms, mutex and condvar initialization reasonably never fails. Initial benchmarks show little difference either way -- so we can revisit (optimize) later. This removes a lot of otherwise untested code in error cases and so forth, improving coverage and resilience in the face of allocation failures. Platforms other than POSIX should follow a similar pattern if they need this. (VxWorks, I'm thinking of you.) Most sane platforms won't have an issue here, since normally these initializations do not need to allocate memory. (Reportedly, even FreeBSD has plans to "fix" this in libthr2.) While here, some bugs were fixed in initialization & teardown. The fallback code is properly tested with dedicated test cases.
* fixes #37 Make transports pluggableGarrett D'Amore2017-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | We automatically register inproc, TCP, and IPC. We can add more now by just calling nni_tran_register(). (There is no unregister support.) This requires transports to have access to the AIO framework (so that needs to be something we consider), and a few nni_sock calls to get socket options. Going forward we should version the ops vectors, and move to pushing down transport options from the framework via setopt calls -- there is no reason really that transports need to know all these.

* TCP asynchronous working now.Garrett D'Amore2017-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that I had to fix a number of subtle asynchronous handling bugs, but now TCP is fully asynchronous. We need to change the high-level dial and listen interfaces to be async as well. Some of the transport APIs have changed here, and I've elected to change what we expose to consumers as endpoints into seperate dialers and listeners. Under the hood they are the same, but it turns out that its helpful to know the intended use of the endpoint at initialization time. Scalability still occasionally hangs on Linux. Investigation pending.
