* AIO: Use nng_err for cancellation callback instead of int.Garrett D'Amore2025-04-27
| | | | | | This is part of our work to improve type safety/awareness, and also improve debugger support, for NNG error codes. There are still quite a few more but this should help.
* * FIX [HTTP] fix a blocking case when freeing http clientJaylin2025-04-27
| | | basically when aio timeout before the connaio of dialer, and users try to free the http_client obj will end in infinite blocking at nni_http_client_fini. Possibly at nni_aio_free(c->aio); or nng_stream_dialer_free(c->dialer); Both racing case is due to the ingnored aio aborting here. Because the aio_begin is called before it is put into the nni_list. I assume you shall abort it no matter if it is in the dialing list.

* http: improve buffer reuse for heeaders, and discard unused bodiesGarrett D'Amore2025-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The body content not being consumed was leading to misparses, where we consumed body data as if it were a request. When mixed with proxies this could lead to a security problem where the following request content submitted from a different client winds up as stolen request body content. This also ensures we actually deliver errors to clients without prematurely closing the connection. (There are still problems where the connection may be closed prematurely for an overlarge header.)
* http: The big HTTP API refactoring of January 2025.v2.0.0-alpha.3http-client-transGarrett D'Amore2025-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This represents a major change in the HTTP code base, consisting of a complete revamp of the HTTP API. The changes here are too numerous to mention, but the end result should be a vastly simpler API for both server and client applications. Many needless allocations were removed by providing fixed buffers for various parameters and headers when possible. A few bugs were fixed. Most especially we have fixed some bugs around very large URIs and headers, and we have also addressed conformance bugs to more closely conform to RFCs 9110 and 9112. As part of this work, the APIs for WebSockets changed slightly as well. In particular the properties available for accessing headers have changed. There is still documentation conversion work to do, and additional functionality (such as proper support for chunked transfers), but this is a big step in the right direction.
* http: changing transaction API to inline req and res structuresGarrett D'Amore2025-01-05
| | | | | This is a step towards simplifying this API and ultimately simplifying the HTTP callback API used for the server side.

* streams: add explicit stop functionsGarrett D'Amore2024-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to explicitly stop streams, dialers, and listeners, before we start tearing down things. This hopefully will be useful in resolving use-after-free bugs in http, tls, and websockets. The new functions are not yet documented, but they are nng_stream_stop, nng_stream_dialer_stop, and nng_stream_listener_stop. They should be called after close, and before free. The close functions now close without blocking, but the stop function is allowed to block.
* Merge internal and external URL APIs. No need forGarrett D'Amore2024-11-18
| | | | the separation of nni_url and nng_url.
* TLS configuration changed to use discret _set_tls and _get_tls functions.Garrett D'Amore2024-11-09
| | | | This is simpler, and more reliable than using socket options.
* Use static initialization for lists and mutexes.Garrett D'Amore2021-12-05
| | | | | | This eliminates some run-time initialization, moving it to compile time. Additional follow up work will expand on this to simplify initialization and reduce the need for certain locks.

* 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 #1005 TLS 1.3 supportGarrett D'Amore2020-02-23
| | | | | | | | This introduces support for an external wolfSSL plugin, and generally creates the framework for pluggable TLS implementations. The wolfSSL engine is provided via an external module (git submodule), available either under a GPLv3 license or a commercial license.

* 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.
* 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 #776 Configuration of mbedTLS should warn about license
* fixes #682 Support for Chunked Transfer CodingGarrett D'Amore2018-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the client side only, although the work is structured to support server applications. The chunked API is for now private, although the intent to is to make it public for applications who really want to use it. Note that chunked transfer encoding puts data through extra copies. First it copies through the buffering area (because I have to be able to extract variable length strings from inside the data stream), and then again to reassemble the chunks into a single unified object. We do assume that the user wants the entire thing as a single object. This means that using this to pull unbounded data will just silently consume all memory. Use caution!
* fixes #717 need nng_http_req_reset and nng_http_res_resetGarrett D'Amore2018-09-12

* fixes #681 HTTP convenience GET method desired...Garrett D'Amore2018-08-30
| | | | | This adds a couple of new methods, and related documentation and test cases.
* fixes #664 aio cancellation could be betterGarrett D'Amore2018-08-20
| | | | | | | | | This changes the signature of the aio cancellation routines to take the argument for cancellation directly, so we do not need to lookup the argument using the nni_aio_get_prov_data. We should probably consider eliminating nni_aio_get_prov_data, and co, and changing the prov_extra to reflect prov_data. Later.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #179 DNS resolution should be done at connect time fixes #586 Windows IO completion port work could be better fixes #339 Windows iocp could use synchronous completions fixes #280 TCP abstraction improvements This is a rather monstrous set of changes, which refactors TCP, and the underlying Windows I/O completion path logic, in order to obtain a cleaner, simpler API, with support for asynchronous DNS lookups performed on connect rather than initialization time, the ability to have multiple connects or accepts pending, as well as fewer extraneous function calls. The Windows code also benefits from greatly reduced context switching, fewer lock operations performed, and a reduced number of system calls on the hot code path. (We use automatic event resetting instead of manual.) Some dead code was removed as well, and a few potential edge case leaks on failure paths (in the websocket code) were plugged. Note that all TCP based transports benefit from this work. The IPC code on Windows still uses the legacy IOCP for now, as does the UDP code (used for ZeroTier.) We will be converting those soon too.
* fixes #436 fix for 429 incomplete (ws ep crash)Garrett D'Amore2018-05-15
| | | | | | | While here, there is a little more endpoint termination hardening. Running this code base seems to not incur any faults beyond the very rare TCP port conflict that can occur from our random port selection in the test suite.
* fixes #352 aio lock is burning hotGarrett D'Amore2018-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #326 consider nni_taskq_exec_synch() fixes #410 kqueue implementation could be smarter fixes #411 epoll_implementation could be smarter fixes #426 synchronous completion can lead to panic fixes #421 pipe close race condition/duplicate destroy This is a major refactoring of two significant parts of the code base, which are closely interrelated. First the aio and taskq framework have undergone a number of simplifications, and improvements. We have ditched a few parts of the internal API (for example tasks no longer support cancellation) that weren't terribly useful but added a lot of complexity, and we've made aio_schedule something that now checks for cancellation or other "premature" completions. The aio framework now uses the tasks more tightly, so that aio wait can devolve into just nni_task_wait(). We did have to add a "task_prep()" step to prevent race conditions. Second, the entire POSIX poller framework has been simplified, and made more robust, and more scalable. There were some fairly inherent race conditions around the shutdown/close code, where we *thought* we were synchronizing against the other thread, but weren't doing so adequately. With a cleaner design, we've been able to tighten up the implementation to remove these race conditions, while substantially reducing the chance for lock contention, thereby improving scalability. The illumos poller also got a performance boost by polling for multiple events. In highly "busy" systems, we expect to see vast reductions in lock contention, and therefore greater scalability, in addition to overall improved reliability. One area where we currently can do better is that there is still only a single poller thread run. Scaling this out is a task that has to be done differently for each poller, and carefuly to ensure that close conditions are safe on all pollers, and that no chance for deadlock/livelock waiting for pfd finalizers can occur.
* fixes #396 illumos doesn't build (missing NNG_PLATFORM_POSIX ON)Garrett D'Amore2018-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #397 Need to cast zoneid fixes #395 sun is predefined on illumos/Solaris fixes #394 alloca needs to #include <alloca.h> fixes #399 Cannot use SVR4.2 specific msghdr fixes #402 getpeerucred needs a NULL initialized ucred fixes #403 syntax error in posix_tcp - attempt to return void fixes #407 illumos getegid wrong fixes #406 nni_idhash_count is dead code fixes #404 idhash typedef redeclared fixes #405 warning: newline not last character in file This is basically a slew of related bug fixes required to make this work on illumos. Note that the fixes are not "complete", because more work is required to support port events given that epoll is busted on illumos. We also fixed a bunch of things that aren't actually "bugs" per se, but really just warnings. Silencing them makes things better for everyone. Apparently not all compilers are equally happy with redundant (but otherwise identical) typedefs; we use structs in some places instead of shorter type names to silence these complaints. Note that IPC permissions (the mode bits on the socket vnode) are not validated on SunOS systems. This change includes documentation to reflect that.
* fixes #346 nng_recv() sometimes acts on null `msg` pointerGarrett D'Amore2018-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This closes a fundamental flaw in the way aio structures were handled. In paticular, aio expiration could race ahead, and fire before the aio was properly registered by the provider. This ultimately led to the possibility of duplicate completions on the same aio. The solution involved breaking up nni_aio_start into two functions. nni_aio_begin (which can be run outside of external locks) simply validates that nni_aio_fini() has not been called, and clears certain fields in the aio to make it ready for use by the provider. nni_aio_schedule does the work to register the aio with the expiration thread, and should only be called when the aio is actually scheduled for asynchronous completion. nni_aio_schedule_verify does the same thing, but returns NNG_ETIMEDOUT if the aio has a zero length timeout. This change has a small negative performance impact. We have plans to rectify that by converting nni_aio_begin to use a locklesss flag for the aio->a_fini bit. While we were here, we fixed some error paths in the POSIX subsystem, which would have returned incorrect error codes, and we made some optmizations in the message queues to reduce conditionals while holding locks in the hot code path.
* Isolate TLS functions into separate tls.h header file.Garrett D'Amore2018-03-02
|
* Modularize HTTP headers somewhat.Garrett D'Amore2018-02-21
| | | | | | We move the HTTP definitions out of the core nng.h and into a supplemental header. Most of this change was trivial updates to all of the HTTP related manual pages.
* fixes #234 Investigate enabling more verbose compiler warningsGarrett D'Amore2018-02-14
| | | | | | | We enabled verbose compiler warnings, and found a lot of issues. Some of these were even real bugs. As a bonus, we actually save some initialization steps in the compat layer, and avoid passing some variables we don't need.
* fixes #171 Refactor aio to use generic data fieldsGarrett D'Amore2018-02-08
| | | | | | | | This addresses the use of the pipe special field, and eliminates it. The message APIs (recvmsg, sendmsg) need to be updated as well still, but I want to handle that as part of a separate issue. While here we fixed various compiler warnings, etc.
* fixes #174 Define public HTTP client APIGarrett D'Amore2018-02-01
|
* 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.
