Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +08004Fixes
5-----
6
71) MAJOR (Windows-only) fix assert firing
8
92) MAJOR http:/1.1 connections handled by lws_return_http_status() did not
10get sent a content-length resulting in the link hanging until the peer closed
11it. attack.sh updated to add a test for this.
12
Andy Green26d42492016-02-24 12:40:21 +0800133) MINOR An error about hdr struct in _lws_ws_related is corrected, it's not
14known to affect anything until after it was fixed
15
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +080016Changes
17-------
18
191) MINOR test-server gained some new switches
20
21 -C <file> use external SSL cert file
22 -K <file> use external SSL key file
23 -A <file> use external SSL CA cert file
24
25 -u <uid> set effective uid
26 -g <gid> set effective gid
27
28together you can use them like this to have the test-server work with the
29usual purchased SSL certs from an official CA.
30
31 --ssl -C your.crt -K your.key -A your.cer -u 99 -g 99
32
332) MINOR the OpenSSL magic to setup ECDH cipher usage is implemented in the
34library, and the ciphers restricted to use ECDH only.
35Using this, the lws test server can score an A at SSLLABS test
36
373) MINOR STS (SSL always) header is added to the test server if you use --ssl. With
38that, we score A+ at SSLLABS test
39
404) MINOR daemonize function (disabled at cmake by default) is updated to work
41with systemd
42
435) MINOR example systemd .service file now provided for test server
44(not installed by default)
45
Andy Green0ad1a6e2016-02-20 14:05:55 +0800466) test server html is updated with tabs and a new live server monitoring
47feature. Input sanitization added to the js.

Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080049User API additions
50------------------
51
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +0800521) MINOR APIBREAK There's a new member in struct lws_context_creation_info, ecdh_curve,
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080053which lets you set the name of the ECDH curve OpenSSL should use. By
54default (if you leave ecdh_curve NULL) it will use "prime256v1"
55
Andy Green51d9afa2016-02-24 11:05:56 +0800562) MINOR NEWAPI It was already possible to adopt a foreign socket that had not
57been read from using lws_adopt_socket() since v1.7. Now you can adopt a
58partially-used socket if you don't need SSL, by passing it what you read
59so it can drain that before reading from the socket.
60
61LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN struct lws *

68
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +080069Extension Changes
70-----------------
71
721) There is now a "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692 implementation. It's very
73similar to "deflate-frame" we have offered for a long while; deflate-frame is
74now provided as an alias of permessage-deflate.
75
76The main differences are that the new permessage-deflate implementation:
77
78 - properly performs streaming respecting input and output buffer limits. The
79 old deflate-frame implementation could only work on complete deflate input
80 and produce complete inflate output for each frame. The new implementation
81 only mallocs buffers at initialization.
82
83 - goes around the event loop after each input package is processed allowing
84 interleaved output processing. The RX flow control api can be used to
85 force compressed input processing to match the rate of compressed output
86 processing (test--echo shows an example of how to do this).
87
88 - when being "deflate-frame" for compatibility he uses the same default zlib
89 settings as the old "deflate-frame", but instead of exponentially increasing
90 malloc allocations until the whole output will fit, he observes the default
91 input and output chunking buffer sizes of "permessage-deflate", that's
92 1024 in and 1024 out at a time.
93
942) deflate-stream has been disabled for many versions (for over a year) and is
95now removed. Browsers are now standardizing on "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692
96
973) struct lws_extension is simplified, and lws extensions now have a public
98api (their callback) for use in user code to compose extensions and options
99the user code wants. lws_get_internal_exts() is deprecated but kept around
100as a NOP. The changes allow one extension implementation to go by different
101names and allows the user client code to control option offers per-ext.
102
103The test client and server are updated to use the new way. If you use
104the old way it should still work, but extensions will be disabled until you
105update your code.
106
107Extensions are now responsible for allocating and per-instance private struct
108at instance construction time and freeing it when the instance is destroyed.
109Not needing to know the size means the extension's struct can be opaque
110to user code.
111
112
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800113User api additions
114------------------
115
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +08001161) The info struct gained three new members
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800117
118 - max_http_header_data: 0 for default (1024) or set the maximum amount of known
119 http header payload that lws can deal with. Payload in unknown http
120 headers is dropped silently. If for some reason you need to send huge
121 cookies or other HTTP-level headers, you can now increase this at context-
122 creation time.
123
124 - max_http_header_pool: 0 for default (16) or set the maximum amount of http
125 headers that can be tracked by lws in this context. For the server, if
126 the header pool is completely in use then accepts on the listen socket
127 are disabled until one becomes free. For the client, if you simultaneously
128 have pending connects for more than this number of client connections,
129 additional connects will fail until some of the pending connections timeout
130 or complete.
131
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +0800132 - timeout_secs: 0 for default (currently 20s), or set the library's
133 network activity timeout to the given number of seconds
134
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800135HTTP header processing in lws only exists until just after the first main
136callback after the HTTP handshake... for ws connections that is ESTABLISHED and
137for HTTP connections the HTTP callback.
138
139So these settings are not related to the maximum number of simultaneous
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800140connections, but the number of HTTP handshakes that may be expected or ongoing,
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800141or have just completed, at one time. The reason it's useful is it changes the
142memory allocation for header processing to be one-time at context creation
143instead of every time there is a new connection, and gives you control over
144the peak allocation.
145
146Setting max_http_header_pool to 1 is fine it will just queue incoming
147connections before the accept as necessary, you can still have as many
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800148simultaneous post-header connections as you like. Since the http header
149processing is completed and the allocation released after ESTABLISHED or the
150HTTP callback, even with a pool of 1 many connections can be handled rapidly.
151
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +08001522) There is a new callback that allows the user code to get acccess to the
153optional close code + aux data that may have been sent by the peer.
154
155LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
156 The peer has sent an unsolicited Close WS packet. @in and
157 @len are the optional close code (first 2 bytes, network
158 order) and the optional additional information which is not
159 defined in the standard, and may be a string or non-human-
160 readble data.
161 If you return 0 lws will echo the close and then close the
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800162 connection. If you return nonzero lws will just close the
163 connection.
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +0800164
165As usual not handling it does the right thing, if you're not interested in it
166just ignore it.
167
168The test server has "open and close" testing buttons at the bottom, if you
169open and close that connection, on close it will send a close code 3000 decimal
170and the string "Bye!" as the aux data.
171
172The test server dumb-increment callback handles this callback reason and prints
173
174lwsts[15714]: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE: len 6
175lwsts[15714]: 0: 0x0B
176lwsts[15714]: 1: 0xB8
177lwsts[15714]: 2: 0x42
178lwsts[15714]: 3: 0x79
179lwsts[15714]: 4: 0x65
180lwsts[15714]: 5: 0x21
181
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08001823) There is a new API to allow the user code to control the content of the
183close frame sent when about to return nonzero from the user callback to
184indicate the connection should close.
185
186/**
187 * lws_close_reason - Set reason and aux data to send with Close packet
188 * If you are going to return nonzero from the callback
189 * requesting the connection to close, you can optionally
190 * call this to set the reason the peer will be told if
191 * possible.
192 *

197 */
198LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void
199lws_close_reason(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_close_status status,
200 unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
201
202An extra button is added to the "open and close" test server page that requests
203that the test server close the connection from his end.
204
205The test server code will do so by
206
207 lws_close_reason(wsi, LWS_CLOSE_STATUS_GOINGAWAY,
208 (unsigned char *)"seeya", 5);
209 return -1;
210
211The browser shows the close code and reason he received
212
213websocket connection CLOSED, code: 1001, reason: seeya
214
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002154) There's a new context creation time option flag
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +0800216
217LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VALIDATE_UTF8
218
219if you set it in info->options, then TEXT and CLOSE frames will get checked to
220confirm that they contain valid UTF-8. If they don't, the connection will get
221closed by lws.
222
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002235) ECDH Certs are now supported. Enable the CMake option
224
225cmake .. -DLWS_SSL_SERVER_WITH_ECDH_CERT=1
226
227**and** the info->options flag
228
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +0800229LWS_SERVER_OPTION_SSL_ECDH
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +0800230
231to build in support and select it at runtime.
232
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +08002336) There's a new api lws_parse_uri() that simplifies chopping up
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800234https://xxx:yyy/zzz uris into parts nicely. The test client now uses this
Andy Greend3a55052016-01-19 03:34:24 +0800235to allow proper uris as well as the old address style.
236
2377) SMP support is integrated into LWS without any internal threading. It's
238very simple to use, libwebsockets-test-server-pthread shows how to do it,
239use -j <n> argument there to control the number of service threads up to 32.
240
241Two new members are added to the info struct
242
243 unsigned int count_threads;
244 unsigned int fd_limit_per_thread;
245
246leave them at the default 0 to get the normal singlethreaded service loop.
247
248Set count_threads to n to tell lws you will have n simultaneous service threads
249operating on the context.
250
251There is still a single listen socket on one port, no matter how many
252service threads.
253
254When a connection is made, it is accepted by the service thread with the least
255connections active to perform load balancing.
256
257The user code is responsible for spawning n threads running the service loop
258associated to a specific tsi (Thread Service Index, 0 .. n - 1). See
259the libwebsockets-test-server-pthread for how to do.
260
261If you leave fd_limit_per_thread at 0, then the process limit of fds is shared
262between the service threads; if you process was allowed 1024 fds overall then
263each thread is limited to 1024 / n.
264
265You can set fd_limit_per_thread to a nonzero number to control this manually, eg
266the overall supported fd limit is less than the process allowance.
267
268You can control the context basic data allocation for multithreading from Cmake
269using -DLWS_MAX_SMP=, if not given it's set to 32. The serv_buf allocation
270for the threads (currently 4096) is made at runtime only for active threads.
271
272Because lws will limit the requested number of actual threads supported
273according to LWS_MAX_SMP, there is an api lws_get_count_threads(context) to
274discover how many threads were actually allowed when the context was created.
275
276It's required to implement locking in the user code in the same way that
277libwebsockets-test-server-pthread does it, for the FD locking callbacks.
278
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +0800279If LWS_MAX_SMP=1, then there is no code related to pthreads compiled in the
280library. If more than 1, a small amount of pthread mutex code is built into
281the library.
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800282
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +08002838) New API
284
285LWS_VISIBLE struct lws *
286lws_adopt_socket(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd)
287
288allows foreign sockets accepted by non-lws code to be adopted by lws as if they
289had just been accepted by lws' own listen socket.
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800290
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08002919) X-Real-IP: header has been added as WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_X_REAL_IP
292
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +080029310) Libuv support is added, there are new related user apis
294
295typedef void (lws_uv_signal_cb_t)(uv_loop_t *l, uv_signal_t *w, int revents);
296

Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800312User api changes
313----------------
314
3151) LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is now 0 and deprecated. You can remove it; if
316you still use it, obviously it does nothing. Old binary code with nonzero
317LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is perfectly compatible, the old code just
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800318allocated a buffer bigger than the library is going to use.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800319
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800320The example apps no longer use LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800321
Andy Green4e2ac762015-12-26 20:26:11 +0800322The only path who made use of it was sending with LWS_WRITE_CLOSE --->
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800323
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08003242) Because of lws_close_reason() formalizing handling close frames,
325LWS_WRITE_CLOSE is removed from libwebsockets.h. It was only of use to send
326close frames...close frame content should be managed using lws_close_reason()
327now.
328
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08003293) We check for invalid CLOSE codes and complain about protocol violation in
330our close code. But it changes little since we were in the middle of closing
331anyway.
332
3334) zero-length RX frames and zero length TX frames are now allowed.
334
3355) Pings and close used to be limited to 124 bytes, the correct limit is 125
336so that is now also allowed.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800337
Steffen Vogelf9267172016-02-09 07:19:15 +01003386) LWS_PRE is provided as a synonym for LWS_SEND_BUFFER_PRE_PADDING, either is
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800339valid to use now.
340
3417) There's generic support for RFC7462 style extension options built into the
342library now. As a consequence, a field "options" is added to lws_extension.
343It can be NULL if there are no options on the extension. Extension internal
344info is part of the public abi because extensions may be implemented outside
345the library.
346
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08003478) WSI_TOKEN_PROXY enum was accidentally defined to collide with another token
348of value 73. That's now corrected and WSI_TOKEN_PROXY moved to his own place at
34977.
350
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +08003519) With the addition of libuv support, libev is not the only event loop
352library in town and his api names must be elaborated with _ev_
353
354 Callback typedef: lws_signal_cb ---> lws_ev_signal_cb_t
355 lws_sigint_cfg --> lws_ev_sigint_cfg
356 lws_initloop --> lws_ev_initloop
357 lws_sigint_cb --> lws_ev_sigint_cb
358
35910) Libev support is made compatible with multithreaded service,
360lws_ev_initloop (was lws_initloop) gets an extra argument for the
361thread service index (use 0 if you will just have 1 service thread).

368=======================
369
370Major API improvements
371----------------------
372
373v1.6.0 has many cleanups and improvements in the API. Although at first it
374looks pretty drastic, user code will only need four actions to update it.
375
376 - Do the three search/replaces in your user code, /libwebsocket_/lws_/,
377 /libwebsockets_/lws_/, and /struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws/
378
379 - Remove the context parameter from your user callbacks
380
381 - Remove context as the first parameter from the "Eleven APIS" listed in the
382 User Api Changes section
383
384 - Add lws_get_context(wsi) as the first parameter on the "Three APIS" listed
385 in the User Api Changes section, and anywhere else you still need context
386
387That's it... generally only a handful of the 14 affected APIs are actually in
388use in your user code and you can find them quickest by compiling and visiting
389the errors each in turn. And the end results are much cleaner, more
390predictable and maintainable.
391
392
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800393User api additions
394------------------
395
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08003961) lws now exposes his internal platform file abstraction in a way that can be
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800397both used by user code to make it platform-agnostic, and be overridden or
398subclassed by user code. This allows things like handling the URI "directory
399space" as a virtual filesystem that may or may not be backed by a regular
400filesystem. One example use is serving files from inside large compressed
401archive storage without having to unpack anything except the file being
402requested.

404The test server shows how to use it, basically the platform-specific part of
405lws prepares a file operations structure that lives in the lws context.
406
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800407Helpers are provided to also leverage these platform-independent file handling
408apis

Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800426
427The user code can also override or subclass the file operations, to either
428wrap or replace them. An example is shown in test server.
429
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800430A wsi can be associated with the file activity, allowing per-connection
431authentication and state to be used when interpreting the file request.
432
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004332) A new API void * lws_wsi_user(struct lws *wsi) lets you get the pointer to
434the user data associated with the wsi, just from the wsi.
435
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +08004363) URI argument handling. Libwebsockets parses and protects URI arguments
437like test.html?arg1=1&arg2=2, it decodes %xx uriencoding format and reduces
438path attacks like ../.../../etc/passwd so they cannot go behind the web
439server's /. There is a list of confirmed attacks we're proof against in
440./test-server/attack.sh.
441
442There is a new API lws_hdr_copy_fragment that should be used now to access
443the URI arguments (it returns the fragments length)
444
445 while (lws_hdr_copy_fragment(wsi, buf, sizeof(buf),
446 WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_URI_ARGS, n) > 0) {
447 lwsl_info("URI Arg %d: %s\n", ++n, buf);
448 }
449
450For the example above, calling with n=0 will return "arg1=1" and n=1 "arg2=2".
451All legal uriencodings will have been reduced in those strings.
452
453lws_hdr_copy_fragment() returns the length of the x=y fragment, so it's also
454possible to deal with arguments containing %00. If you don't care about that,
455the returned string has '\0' appended to simplify processing.

Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800458User api changes
459----------------
460
Andy Green1a366bf2015-12-14 07:02:51 +08004611) Three APIS
462
463 - lws_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
464 - lws_callback_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
465 - lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol)
466
467Now take an additional pointer to the lws_context in their first argument.
468
469The reason for this change is struct lws_protocols has been changed to remove
470members that lws used for private storage: so the protocols struct in now
471truly const and may be reused serially or simultaneously by different contexts.
472
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +08004732) Eleven APIs

531
5323) Several older apis start with libwebsocket_ or libwebsockets_ while newer ones
Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800533all begin lws_. These apis have been changed to all begin with lws_.

5414) context parameter removed from user callback.
542
543Since almost all apis no longer need the context as a parameter, it's no longer
544provided at the user callback directly.
545
546However if you need it, for ALL callbacks wsi is valid and has a valid context
Andy Green6d645392015-12-17 18:25:25 +0800547pointer you can recover using lws_get_context(wsi).

555
556LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_CONNECTION_ERROR may provide an error string if in is

558
Andy Green6d59f592015-10-15 09:12:58 +0800559LWS_SERVER_OPTION_PEER_CERT_NOT_REQUIRED is available to relax the requirement

569User api additions
570------------------
571
572There's a new member in the info struct used to control context creation,
573ssl_private_key_password, which allows passing into lws the passphrase on
574an SSL cetificate
575
Andy Greeneabed8d2014-08-11 12:11:36 +0800576There's a new member in struct protocols, id, which is ignored by lws but can
577be used by the user code to mark the selected protocol by user-defined version
578or capabliity flag information, for the case multiple versions of a protocol are
579supported.
580
Andy Greenb128ccc2014-08-16 09:54:27 +0800581int lws_is_ssl(wsi) added to allow user code to know if the connection was made
582over ssl or not. If LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT is used, both
583ssl and non-ssl connections are possible and may need to be treated differently
584in the user code.
585
Andy Green14425ea2014-08-18 22:49:39 +0800586int lws_partial_buffered(wsi) added... should be checked after any
587libwebsocket_write that will be followed by another libwebsocket_write inside
588the same writeable callback. If set, you can't do any more writes until the
589writeable callback is called again. If you only do one write per writeable callback,
590you can ignore this.
591
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800592HTTP2-related: HTTP2 changes how headers are handled, lws now has new version-
593agnositic header creation APIs. These do the right thing depending on each
594connection's HTTP version without the user code having to know or care, except
595to make sure to use the new APIs for headers (test-server is updated to use
596them already, so look there for examples)
597
598The APIs "render" the headers into a user-provided buffer and bump *p as it
599is used. If *p reaches end, then the APIs return nonzero for error.
600
601LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int
602lws_add_http_header_status(struct libwebsocket_context *context,
603 struct libwebsocket *wsi,
604 unsigned int code,

633 const unsigned char *value,
634 int length,
635 unsigned char **p,
636 unsigned char *end);
637
638Add a header by using a lws token as the name part. In HTTP2, this can be
639compressed to one or two bytes.

Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800642User api removal
643----------------
644
645protocols struct member no_buffer_all_partial_tx is removed. Under some
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200646conditions like rewriting extension such as compression in use, the built-in
Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800647partial send buffering is the only way to deal with the problem, so turning
648it off is deprecated.
649
650
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800651User api changes
652----------------
653
654HTTP2-related: API libwebsockets_serve_http_file() takes an extra parameter at
655the end now
656
657int other_headers_len)
658
659If you are providing other headers, they must be generated using the new
660HTTP-version-agnostic APIs, and you must provide the length of them using this
661additional parameter.
662
joseph.urciuoli4d9c8fc2014-10-16 08:53:19 +0800663struct lws_context_creation_info now has an additional member
664SSL_CTX *provided_client_ssl_ctx you may set to an externally-initialized
665SSL_CTX managed outside lws. Defaulting to zero keeps the existing behaviour of
666lws managing the context, if you memset the struct to 0 or have as a filescope
667initialized struct in bss, no need to change anything.

732------------------
733
734POST method is supported
735
736The protocol 0 / HTTP callback can now get two new kinds of callback,
737LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY (in and len are a chunk of the body of the HTTP request)
738and LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY_COMPLETION (the expected amount of body has arrived
739and been passed to the user code already). These callbacks are used with the
740post method (see the test server for details).
741
742The period between the HTTP header completion and the completion of the body
743processing is protected by a 5s timeout.
744
745The chunks are stored in a malloc'd buffer of size protocols[0].rx_buffer_size.
746
747
James Devine5b34c972013-12-14 11:41:29 +0800748New server option you can enable from user code
749LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT allows non-SSL connections to
750also be accepted on an SSL listening port. It's disabled unless you enable
751it explicitly.
752
753
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800754Two new callbacks are added in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing
755limited thread access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and
756LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
757
758If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if
759you want to use external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable()
760you have to implement your locking here even if you don't use external
761poll support.
762
763If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing
764your list of live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks
765(with your own locking).
766
Andrew Canaday9769f4f2014-03-23 13:25:07 +0800767If you configure cmake with -DLWS_WITH_LIBEV=1 then the code allowing the libev
768eventloop instead of the default poll() one will also be compiled in. But to
769use it, you must also set the LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV flag on the context
770creation info struct options member.
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800771
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800772IPV6 is supported and enabled by default except for Windows, you can disable
773the support at build-time by giving -DLWS_IPV6=, and disable use of it even if
James Devine3f13ea22014-03-24 16:09:25 +0800774compiled in by making sure the flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_IPV6 is set on
775the context creation info struct options member.
776
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800777You can give LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_OS_CA_CERTS option flag to
778guarantee the OS CAs will not be used, even if that support was selected at
779build-time.
780
781Optional "token limits" may be enforced by setting the member "token_limits"
782in struct lws_context_creation_info to point to a struct lws_token_limits.
783NULL means no token limits used for compatibility.

787----------------
788
789Extra optional argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file() allows injecion
790of HTTP headers into the canned response. Eg, cookies may be added like
791that without getting involved in having to send the header by hand.
792
Patrick Gansterer148b9452014-02-28 02:31:23 +0100793A new info member http_proxy_address may be used at context creation time to
794set the http proxy. If non-NULL, it overrides http_proxy environment var.
Andy Green79002562013-11-09 11:04:35 +0800795
Andy Greend2ec7ad2014-03-15 10:39:29 +0800796Cmake supports LWS_SSL_CLIENT_USE_OS_CA_CERTS defaulting to on, which gets
797the client to use the OS CA Roots. If you're worried somebody with the
798ability to forge for force creation of a client cert from the root CA in

857User api additions
858------------------
859
860 - You can now call libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() on http connectons,
861 and get a LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_WRITEABLE callback, the same way you can
862 regulate writes with a websocket protocol connection.
863
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800864 - A new member in the context creation parameter struct "ssl_cipher_list" is
865 added, replacing CIPHERS_LIST_STRING. NULL means use the ssl library
866 default list of ciphers.
867
Andy Green58f214e2013-03-09 13:03:53 +0800868 - Not really an api addition, but libwebsocket_service_fd() will now zero
869 the revents field of the pollfd it was called with if it handled the
870 descriptor. So you can tell if it is a non-lws fd by checking revents
871 after the service call... if it's still nonzero, the descriptor
872 belongs to you and you need to take care of it.
873
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800874 - libwebsocket_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(protocol) will unthrottle all
875 connections with the established protocol. It's designed to be
876 called from user server code when it sees it can accept more input
877 and may have throttled connections using the server rx flow apis
878 while it was unable to accept any other input The user server code
879 then does not have to try to track while connections it choked, this
880 will free up all of them in one call.
881
Andy Green0c9563b2013-06-10 22:54:40 +0800882 - there's a new, optional callback LWS_CALLBACK_CLOSED_HTTP which gets
883 called when an HTTP protocol socket closes
884
Andy Green96d48fd2013-09-18 08:32:55 +0800885 - for LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION callback, the user_space alloc
886 has already been done before the callback happens. That means we can
887 use the user parameter to the callback to contain the user pointer, and
888 move the protocol name to the "in" parameter. The docs for this
889 callback are also updated to reflect how to check headers in there.
890
Andy Green5dc62ea2013-09-20 20:26:12 +0800891 - libwebsocket_client_connect() is now properly nonblocking and async. See
892 README.coding and test-client.c for information on the callbacks you
893 can rely on controlling the async connection period with.
894
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800895 - if your OS does not support the http_proxy environment variable convention
896 (eg, reportedly OSX), you can use a new api libwebsocket_set_proxy()
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200897 to set the proxy details in between context creation and the connection
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800898 action. For OSes that support http_proxy, that's used automatically.
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800899
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800900User api changes
901----------------
902
903 - the external poll callbacks now get the socket descriptor coming from the
904 "in" parameter. The user parameter provides the user_space for the
905 wsi as it normally does on the other callbacks.
Edwin van den Oetelaar8c8a8e12013-02-20 20:56:59 +0800906 LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION also has the socket descriptor
907 delivered by @in now instead of @user.
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800908
Andy Greenfc7c5e42013-02-23 10:50:10 +0800909 - libwebsocket_write() now returns -1 for error, or the amount of data
910 actually accepted for send. Under load, the OS may signal it is
911 ready to send new data on the socket, but have only a restricted
912 amount of memory to buffer the packet compared to usual.
913
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800914
Andy Greendc914cf2013-02-18 16:54:26 +0800915User api removal
916----------------
917
918 - libwebsocket_ensure_user_space() is removed from the public api, if you
919 were using it to get user_space, you need to adapt your code to only
920 use user_space inside the user callback.
921
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800922 - CIPHERS_LIST_STRING is removed
923
Andy Green0097a992013-03-09 13:06:37 +0800924 - autotools build has been removed. See README.build for info on how to
925 use CMake for your platform
926
Andy Green54cb3462013-02-14 22:23:54 +0800927
Andy Green53a46782013-02-14 11:23:49 +0800928v1.21-chrome26-firefox18
929========================
930
931 - Fixes buffer overflow bug in max frame size handling if you used the
932 default protocol buffer size. If you declared rx_buffer_size in your
933 protocol, which is recommended anyway, your code was unaffected.

985User api additions
986------------------
987
988 - lws_get_library_version() returns a const char * with a string like
989 "1.1 9e7f737", representing the library version from configure.ac
990 and the git HEAD hash the library was built from
991
Andy Greena47865f2013-02-10 09:39:47 +0800992 - TCP Keepalive can now optionally be applied to all lws sockets, on Linux
993 also with controllable timeout, number of probes and probe interval.
994 (On BSD type OS, you can only use system default settings for the
995 timing and retries, although enabling it is supported by setting
996 ka_time to nonzero, the exact value has no meaning.)
997 This enables detection of idle connections which are logically okay,
998 but are in fact dead, due to network connectivity issues at the server,
Andy Greena690cd02013-02-09 12:25:31 +0800999 client, or any intermediary. By default it's not enabled, but you
1000 can enable it by setting a non-zero timeout (in seconds) at the new
1001 ka_time member at context creation time.
1002
Andy Greena7109e62013-02-11 12:05:54 +08001003 - Two new optional user callbacks added, LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_DESTROY which
1004 is called one-time per protocol as the context is being destroyed, and
1005 LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT which is called when the context is created
1006 and the protocols are added, again it's a one-time affair.
1007 This lets you manage per-protocol allocations properly including
1008 cleaning up after yourself when the server goes down.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001009
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001010User api changes
1011----------------
1012
Andy Green1b265272013-02-09 14:01:09 +08001013 - libwebsocket_create_context() has changed from taking a ton of parameters
1014 to just taking a pointer to a struct containing the parameters. The
1015 struct lws_context_creation_info is in libwebsockets.h, the members
1016 are in the same order as when they were parameters to the call
1017 previously. The test apps are all updated accordingly so you can
1018 see example code there.
1019
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001020 - Header tokens are now deleted after the websocket connection is
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001021 established. Not just the header data is saved, but the pointer and
1022 length array is also removed from (union) scope saving several hundred
1023 bytes per connection once it is established
1024
1025 - struct libwebsocket_protocols has a new member rx_buffer_size, this
1026 controls rx buffer size per connection of that protocol now. Sources
1027 for apps built against older versions of the library won't declare
1028 this in their protocols, defaulting it to 0. Zero buffer is legal,
1029 it causes a default buffer to be allocated (currently 4096)
1030
1031 If you want to receive only atomic frames in your user callback, you
1032 should set this to greater than your largest frame size. If a frame
1033 comes that exceeds that, no error occurs but the callback happens as
1034 soon as the buffer limit is reached, and again if it is reached again
1035 or the frame completes. You can detect that has happened by seeing
1036 there is still frame content pending using
1037 libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload()
1038
1039 By correctly setting this, you can save a lot of memory when your
1040 protocol has small frames (see the test server and client sources).
1041
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001042 - LWS_MAX_HEADER_LEN now defaults to 1024 and is the total amount of known
1043 header payload lws can cope with, that includes the GET URL, origin
1044 etc. Headers not understood by lws are ignored and their payload
1045 not included in this.
1046
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001047
1048User api removals
1049-----------------
1050
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001051 - The configuration-time option MAX_USER_RX_BUFFER has been replaced by a
1052 buffer size chosen per-protocol. For compatibility, there's a default
1053 of 4096 rx buffer, but user code should set the appropriate size for
1054 the protocol frames.
1055
1056 - LWS_INITIAL_HDR_ALLOC and LWS_ADDITIONAL_HDR_ALLOC are no longer needed
1057 and have been removed. There's a new header management scheme that
1058 handles them in a much more compact way.
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001059
Andy Green70edd6f2013-02-12 10:15:25 +08001060 - libwebsockets_hangup_on_client() is removed. If you want to close the
1061 connection you must do so from the user callback and by returning
1062 -1 from there.
1063
Andy Green508946c2013-02-12 10:19:08 +08001064 - libwebsocket_close_and_free_session() is now private to the library code
1065 only and not exposed for user code. If you want to close the
1066 connection, you must do so from the user callback by returning -1
1067 from there.
1068
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001069
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001070New features
1071------------
1072
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001073 - Cmake project file added, aimed initially at Windows support: this replaces
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001074 the visual studio project files that were in the tree until now.
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001075
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001076 - CyaSSL now supported in place of OpenSSL (--use-cyassl on configure)
1077
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001078 - PATH_MAX or MAX_PATH no longer needed
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001079
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001080 - cutomizable frame rx buffer size by protocol
1081
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001082 - optional TCP keepalive so dead peers can be detected, can be enabled at
1083 context-creation time
1084
1085 - valgrind-clean: no SSL or CyaSSL: completely clean. With OpenSSL, 88 bytes
1086 lost at OpenSSL library init and symptomless reports of uninitialized
1087 memory usage... seems to be a known and ignored problem at OpenSSL
1088
Andy Greena3957ef2013-02-11 09:31:43 +08001089 - By default debug is enabled and the library is built for -O0 -g to faclitate
1090 that. Use --disable-debug configure option to build instead with -O4
1091 and no -g (debug info), obviously providing best performance and
1092 reduced binary size.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001093
Andy Green895d56d2013-02-11 09:32:53 +08001094 - 1.0 introduced some code to try to not deflate small frames, however this
1095 seems to break when confronted with a mixture of frames above and
1096 below the threshold, so it's removed. Veto the compression extension
1097 in your user callback if you will typically have very small frames.
1098
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001099 - There are many memory usage improvements, both a reduction in malloc/
1100 realloc and architectural changes. A websocket connection now
1101 consumes only 296 bytes with SSL or 272 bytes without on x86_64,
1102 during header processing an additional 1262 bytes is allocated in a
1103 single malloc, but is freed when the websocket connection starts.
1104 The RX frame buffer defined by the protocol in user
1105 code is also allocated per connection, this represents the largest
1106 frame you can receive atomically in that protocol.
1107
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001108 - On ARM9 build, just http+ws server no extensions or ssl, <12Kbytes .text
1109 and 112 bytes per connection (+1328 only during header processing)
1110

1189user api changes
1190----------------
1191
1192 - libwebsockets_serve_http_file() now takes a context as first argument
1193
1194 - libwebsockets_get_peer_addresses() now takes a context and wsi as first
1195 two arguments
1196
1197
1198user api additions
1199------------------
1200
1201 - lwsl_...() logging apis, default to stderr but retargetable by user code;
1202 may be used also by user code
1203
1204 - lws_set_log_level() set which logging apis are able to emit (defaults to
1205 notice, warn, err severities), optionally set the emit callback
1206
1207 - lwsl_emit_syslog() helper callback emits to syslog
1208
1209 - lws_daemonize() helper code that forks the app into a headless daemon
1210 properly, maintains a lock file with pid in suitable for sysvinit etc to
1211 control lifecycle
1212
1213 - LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION callback added since http file
1214 transfer is now asynchronous (see test server code)
1215
1216 - lws_frame_is_binary() from a wsi pointer, let you know if the received
1217 data was sent in BINARY mode
1218
1219
1220user api removals
1221-----------------
1222
1223 - libwebsockets_fork_service_loop() - no longer supported (had intractable problems)
1224 arrange your code to act from the user callback instead from same
1225 process context as the service loop
1226
1227 - libwebsockets_broadcast() - use libwebsocket_callback_on_writable[_all_protocol]()
1228 instead from same process context as the service loop. See the test apps
1229 for examples.
1230
1231 - x-google-mux() removed until someone wants it
1232
1233 - pre -v13 (ancient) protocol support removed
1234
1235
1236New features
1237------------
1238
1239 - echo test server and client compatible with echo.websocket.org added
1240
1241 - many new configure options (see README.build) to reduce footprint of the
1242 library to what you actually need, eg, --without-client and
1243 --without-server
1244
1245 - http + websocket server can build to as little as 12K .text for ARM
1246
1247 - no more MAX_CLIENTS limitation; adapts to support the max number of fds
1248 allowed to the process by ulimit, defaults to 1024 on Fedora and
1249 Ubuntu. Use ulimit to control this without needing to configure
1250 the library. Code here is smaller and faster.
1251
1252 - adaptive ratio of listen socket to connection socket service allows
1253 good behaviour under Apache ab test load. Tested with thousands
1254 of simultaneous connections
1255
1256 - reduction in per-connection memory footprint by moving to a union to hold
1257 mutually-exclusive state for the connection
1258
1259 - robustness: Out of Memory taken care of for all allocation code now
1260
1261 - internal getifaddrs option if your toolchain lacks it (some uclibc)
1262
1263 - configurable memory limit for deflate operations
1264
1265 - improvements in SSL code nonblocking operation, possible hang solved,
1266 some SSL operations broken down into pollable states so there is
1267 no library blocking, timeout coverage for SSL_connect
1268
1269 - extpoll test server merged into single test server source
1270
1271 - robustness: library should deal with all recoverable socket conditions
1272
1273 - rx flowcontrol for backpressure notification fixed and implmeneted
1274 correctly in the test server
1275
1276 - optimal lexical parser added for header processing; all headers in a
1277 single 276-byte state table
1278
1279 - latency tracking api added (configure --with-latency)
1280
1281 - Improved in-tree documentation, REAME.build, README.coding,
1282 README.test-apps, changelog
1283
1284 - Many small fixes
1285
1286
1287v1.0-chrome25-firefox17 (6cd1ea9b005933f)
