2---------
3
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 Green5c0bcf42016-02-24 21:27:46 +0800164) MINOR During the close shutdown wait state introduced at v1.7, if something
17requests callback on writeable for the socket it will busywait until the
18socket closes
19
Andy Greendbfbbb42016-02-24 20:58:19 +0800205) MAJOR Although the test server has done it for a few versions already, it
21is now required for the user code to explicitly call
22
23 if (lws_http_transaction_completed(wsi))
24 return -1;
25
26when it finishes replying to a transaction in http. Previously the library
27did it for you, but that disallowed large, long transfers with multiple
28trips around the event loop (and cgi...).
29
30
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +080031Changes
32-------
33
341) MINOR test-server gained some new switches
35
36 -C <file> use external SSL cert file
37 -K <file> use external SSL key file
38 -A <file> use external SSL CA cert file
39
40 -u <uid> set effective uid
41 -g <gid> set effective gid
42
43together you can use them like this to have the test-server work with the
44usual purchased SSL certs from an official CA.
45
46 --ssl -C your.crt -K your.key -A your.cer -u 99 -g 99
47
482) MINOR the OpenSSL magic to setup ECDH cipher usage is implemented in the
49library, and the ciphers restricted to use ECDH only.
50Using this, the lws test server can score an A at SSLLABS test
51
523) MINOR STS (SSL always) header is added to the test server if you use --ssl. With
53that, we score A+ at SSLLABS test
54
554) MINOR daemonize function (disabled at cmake by default) is updated to work
56with systemd
57
585) MINOR example systemd .service file now provided for test server
59(not installed by default)
60
Andy Green0ad1a6e2016-02-20 14:05:55 +0800616) test server html is updated with tabs and a new live server monitoring
62feature. Input sanitization added to the js.
63
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080064User API additions
65------------------
66
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +0800671) MINOR APIBREAK There's a new member in struct lws_context_creation_info, ecdh_curve,
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080068which lets you set the name of the ECDH curve OpenSSL should use. By
69default (if you leave ecdh_curve NULL) it will use "prime256v1"
70
Andy Green51d9afa2016-02-24 11:05:56 +0800712) MINOR NEWAPI It was already possible to adopt a foreign socket that had not
72been read from using lws_adopt_socket() since v1.7. Now you can adopt a
73partially-used socket if you don't need SSL, by passing it what you read
74so it can drain that before reading from the socket.
75
76LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN struct lws *
77lws_adopt_socket_readbuf(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd,
78 const char *readbuf, size_t len);

82======
83
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +080084Extension Changes
85-----------------
86
871) There is now a "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692 implementation. It's very
88similar to "deflate-frame" we have offered for a long while; deflate-frame is
89now provided as an alias of permessage-deflate.
90
91The main differences are that the new permessage-deflate implementation:
92
93 - properly performs streaming respecting input and output buffer limits. The
94 old deflate-frame implementation could only work on complete deflate input
95 and produce complete inflate output for each frame. The new implementation
96 only mallocs buffers at initialization.
97
98 - goes around the event loop after each input package is processed allowing
99 interleaved output processing. The RX flow control api can be used to
100 force compressed input processing to match the rate of compressed output
101 processing (test--echo shows an example of how to do this).
102
103 - when being "deflate-frame" for compatibility he uses the same default zlib
104 settings as the old "deflate-frame", but instead of exponentially increasing
105 malloc allocations until the whole output will fit, he observes the default
106 input and output chunking buffer sizes of "permessage-deflate", that's
107 1024 in and 1024 out at a time.
108
1092) deflate-stream has been disabled for many versions (for over a year) and is
110now removed. Browsers are now standardizing on "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692
111
1123) struct lws_extension is simplified, and lws extensions now have a public
113api (their callback) for use in user code to compose extensions and options
114the user code wants. lws_get_internal_exts() is deprecated but kept around
115as a NOP. The changes allow one extension implementation to go by different
116names and allows the user client code to control option offers per-ext.
117
118The test client and server are updated to use the new way. If you use
119the old way it should still work, but extensions will be disabled until you
120update your code.
121
122Extensions are now responsible for allocating and per-instance private struct
123at instance construction time and freeing it when the instance is destroyed.
124Not needing to know the size means the extension's struct can be opaque
125to user code.
126
127
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800128User api additions
129------------------
130
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +08001311) The info struct gained three new members
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800132
133 - max_http_header_data: 0 for default (1024) or set the maximum amount of known
134 http header payload that lws can deal with. Payload in unknown http
135 headers is dropped silently. If for some reason you need to send huge
136 cookies or other HTTP-level headers, you can now increase this at context-
137 creation time.
138
139 - max_http_header_pool: 0 for default (16) or set the maximum amount of http
140 headers that can be tracked by lws in this context. For the server, if
141 the header pool is completely in use then accepts on the listen socket
142 are disabled until one becomes free. For the client, if you simultaneously
143 have pending connects for more than this number of client connections,
144 additional connects will fail until some of the pending connections timeout
145 or complete.
146
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +0800147 - timeout_secs: 0 for default (currently 20s), or set the library's
148 network activity timeout to the given number of seconds
149
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800150HTTP header processing in lws only exists until just after the first main
151callback after the HTTP handshake... for ws connections that is ESTABLISHED and
152for HTTP connections the HTTP callback.
153
154So these settings are not related to the maximum number of simultaneous
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800155connections, but the number of HTTP handshakes that may be expected or ongoing,
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800156or have just completed, at one time. The reason it's useful is it changes the
157memory allocation for header processing to be one-time at context creation
158instead of every time there is a new connection, and gives you control over
159the peak allocation.
160
161Setting max_http_header_pool to 1 is fine it will just queue incoming
162connections before the accept as necessary, you can still have as many
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800163simultaneous post-header connections as you like. Since the http header
164processing is completed and the allocation released after ESTABLISHED or the
165HTTP callback, even with a pool of 1 many connections can be handled rapidly.
166
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +08001672) There is a new callback that allows the user code to get acccess to the
168optional close code + aux data that may have been sent by the peer.
169
170LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
171 The peer has sent an unsolicited Close WS packet. @in and
172 @len are the optional close code (first 2 bytes, network
173 order) and the optional additional information which is not
174 defined in the standard, and may be a string or non-human-
175 readble data.
176 If you return 0 lws will echo the close and then close the
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800177 connection. If you return nonzero lws will just close the
178 connection.
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +0800179
180As usual not handling it does the right thing, if you're not interested in it
181just ignore it.
182
183The test server has "open and close" testing buttons at the bottom, if you
184open and close that connection, on close it will send a close code 3000 decimal
185and the string "Bye!" as the aux data.
186
187The test server dumb-increment callback handles this callback reason and prints
188
189lwsts[15714]: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE: len 6
190lwsts[15714]: 0: 0x0B
191lwsts[15714]: 1: 0xB8
192lwsts[15714]: 2: 0x42
193lwsts[15714]: 3: 0x79
194lwsts[15714]: 4: 0x65
195lwsts[15714]: 5: 0x21
196
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08001973) There is a new API to allow the user code to control the content of the
198close frame sent when about to return nonzero from the user callback to
199indicate the connection should close.
200
201/**
202 * lws_close_reason - Set reason and aux data to send with Close packet
203 * If you are going to return nonzero from the callback
204 * requesting the connection to close, you can optionally
205 * call this to set the reason the peer will be told if
206 * possible.
207 *
208 * @wsi: The websocket connection to set the close reason on
209 * @status: A valid close status from websocket standard
210 * @buf: NULL or buffer containing up to 124 bytes of auxiliary data
211 * @len: Length of data in @buf to send
212 */
213LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void
214lws_close_reason(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_close_status status,
215 unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
216
217An extra button is added to the "open and close" test server page that requests
218that the test server close the connection from his end.
219
220The test server code will do so by
221
222 lws_close_reason(wsi, LWS_CLOSE_STATUS_GOINGAWAY,
223 (unsigned char *)"seeya", 5);
224 return -1;
225
226The browser shows the close code and reason he received
227
228websocket connection CLOSED, code: 1001, reason: seeya
229
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002304) There's a new context creation time option flag
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +0800231
232LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VALIDATE_UTF8
233
234if you set it in info->options, then TEXT and CLOSE frames will get checked to
235confirm that they contain valid UTF-8. If they don't, the connection will get
236closed by lws.
237
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002385) ECDH Certs are now supported. Enable the CMake option
239
240cmake .. -DLWS_SSL_SERVER_WITH_ECDH_CERT=1
241
242**and** the info->options flag
243
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +0800244LWS_SERVER_OPTION_SSL_ECDH
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +0800245
246to build in support and select it at runtime.
247
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +08002486) There's a new api lws_parse_uri() that simplifies chopping up
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800249https://xxx:yyy/zzz uris into parts nicely. The test client now uses this
Andy Greend3a55052016-01-19 03:34:24 +0800250to allow proper uris as well as the old address style.
251
2527) SMP support is integrated into LWS without any internal threading. It's
253very simple to use, libwebsockets-test-server-pthread shows how to do it,
254use -j <n> argument there to control the number of service threads up to 32.
255
256Two new members are added to the info struct
257
258 unsigned int count_threads;
259 unsigned int fd_limit_per_thread;
260
261leave them at the default 0 to get the normal singlethreaded service loop.
262
263Set count_threads to n to tell lws you will have n simultaneous service threads
264operating on the context.
265
266There is still a single listen socket on one port, no matter how many
267service threads.
268
269When a connection is made, it is accepted by the service thread with the least
270connections active to perform load balancing.
271
272The user code is responsible for spawning n threads running the service loop
273associated to a specific tsi (Thread Service Index, 0 .. n - 1). See
274the libwebsockets-test-server-pthread for how to do.
275
276If you leave fd_limit_per_thread at 0, then the process limit of fds is shared
277between the service threads; if you process was allowed 1024 fds overall then
278each thread is limited to 1024 / n.
279
280You can set fd_limit_per_thread to a nonzero number to control this manually, eg
281the overall supported fd limit is less than the process allowance.
282
283You can control the context basic data allocation for multithreading from Cmake
284using -DLWS_MAX_SMP=, if not given it's set to 32. The serv_buf allocation
285for the threads (currently 4096) is made at runtime only for active threads.
286
287Because lws will limit the requested number of actual threads supported
288according to LWS_MAX_SMP, there is an api lws_get_count_threads(context) to
289discover how many threads were actually allowed when the context was created.
290
291It's required to implement locking in the user code in the same way that
292libwebsockets-test-server-pthread does it, for the FD locking callbacks.
293
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +0800294If LWS_MAX_SMP=1, then there is no code related to pthreads compiled in the
295library. If more than 1, a small amount of pthread mutex code is built into
296the library.
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800297
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +08002988) New API
299
300LWS_VISIBLE struct lws *
301lws_adopt_socket(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd)
302
303allows foreign sockets accepted by non-lws code to be adopted by lws as if they
304had just been accepted by lws' own listen socket.
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800305
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08003069) X-Real-IP: header has been added as WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_X_REAL_IP
307
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +080030810) Libuv support is added, there are new related user apis
309
310typedef void (lws_uv_signal_cb_t)(uv_loop_t *l, uv_signal_t *w, int revents);
311
312LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int

Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800327User api changes
328----------------
329
3301) LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is now 0 and deprecated. You can remove it; if
331you still use it, obviously it does nothing. Old binary code with nonzero
332LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is perfectly compatible, the old code just
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800333allocated a buffer bigger than the library is going to use.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800334
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800335The example apps no longer use LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800336
Andy Green4e2ac762015-12-26 20:26:11 +0800337The only path who made use of it was sending with LWS_WRITE_CLOSE --->
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800338
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08003392) Because of lws_close_reason() formalizing handling close frames,
340LWS_WRITE_CLOSE is removed from libwebsockets.h. It was only of use to send
341close frames...close frame content should be managed using lws_close_reason()
342now.
343
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08003443) We check for invalid CLOSE codes and complain about protocol violation in
345our close code. But it changes little since we were in the middle of closing
346anyway.
347
3484) zero-length RX frames and zero length TX frames are now allowed.
349
3505) Pings and close used to be limited to 124 bytes, the correct limit is 125
351so that is now also allowed.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800352
Steffen Vogelf9267172016-02-09 07:19:15 +01003536) LWS_PRE is provided as a synonym for LWS_SEND_BUFFER_PRE_PADDING, either is
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800354valid to use now.
355
3567) There's generic support for RFC7462 style extension options built into the
357library now. As a consequence, a field "options" is added to lws_extension.
358It can be NULL if there are no options on the extension. Extension internal
359info is part of the public abi because extensions may be implemented outside
360the library.
361
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08003628) WSI_TOKEN_PROXY enum was accidentally defined to collide with another token
363of value 73. That's now corrected and WSI_TOKEN_PROXY moved to his own place at
36477.
365
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +08003669) With the addition of libuv support, libev is not the only event loop
367library in town and his api names must be elaborated with _ev_
368
369 Callback typedef: lws_signal_cb ---> lws_ev_signal_cb_t
370 lws_sigint_cfg --> lws_ev_sigint_cfg
371 lws_initloop --> lws_ev_initloop
372 lws_sigint_cb --> lws_ev_sigint_cb
373
37410) Libev support is made compatible with multithreaded service,
375lws_ev_initloop (was lws_initloop) gets an extra argument for the
376thread service index (use 0 if you will just have 1 service thread).

383=======================
384
385Major API improvements
386----------------------
387
388v1.6.0 has many cleanups and improvements in the API. Although at first it
389looks pretty drastic, user code will only need four actions to update it.
390
391 - Do the three search/replaces in your user code, /libwebsocket_/lws_/,
392 /libwebsockets_/lws_/, and /struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws/
393
394 - Remove the context parameter from your user callbacks
395
396 - Remove context as the first parameter from the "Eleven APIS" listed in the
397 User Api Changes section
398
399 - Add lws_get_context(wsi) as the first parameter on the "Three APIS" listed
400 in the User Api Changes section, and anywhere else you still need context
401
402That's it... generally only a handful of the 14 affected APIs are actually in
403use in your user code and you can find them quickest by compiling and visiting
404the errors each in turn. And the end results are much cleaner, more
405predictable and maintainable.

409------------------
410
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004111) lws now exposes his internal platform file abstraction in a way that can be
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800412both used by user code to make it platform-agnostic, and be overridden or
413subclassed by user code. This allows things like handling the URI "directory
414space" as a virtual filesystem that may or may not be backed by a regular
415filesystem. One example use is serving files from inside large compressed
416archive storage without having to unpack anything except the file being
417requested.
418
419The test server shows how to use it, basically the platform-specific part of
420lws prepares a file operations structure that lives in the lws context.
421
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800422Helpers are provided to also leverage these platform-independent file handling
423apis
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800424

440 unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800441
442The user code can also override or subclass the file operations, to either
443wrap or replace them. An example is shown in test server.
444
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800445A wsi can be associated with the file activity, allowing per-connection
446authentication and state to be used when interpreting the file request.
447
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004482) A new API void * lws_wsi_user(struct lws *wsi) lets you get the pointer to
449the user data associated with the wsi, just from the wsi.
450
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +08004513) URI argument handling. Libwebsockets parses and protects URI arguments
452like test.html?arg1=1&arg2=2, it decodes %xx uriencoding format and reduces
453path attacks like ../.../../etc/passwd so they cannot go behind the web
454server's /. There is a list of confirmed attacks we're proof against in
455./test-server/attack.sh.
456
457There is a new API lws_hdr_copy_fragment that should be used now to access
458the URI arguments (it returns the fragments length)
459
460 while (lws_hdr_copy_fragment(wsi, buf, sizeof(buf),
461 WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_URI_ARGS, n) > 0) {
462 lwsl_info("URI Arg %d: %s\n", ++n, buf);
463 }
464
465For the example above, calling with n=0 will return "arg1=1" and n=1 "arg2=2".
466All legal uriencodings will have been reduced in those strings.
467
468lws_hdr_copy_fragment() returns the length of the x=y fragment, so it's also
469possible to deal with arguments containing %00. If you don't care about that,
470the returned string has '\0' appended to simplify processing.

Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800473User api changes
474----------------
475
Andy Green1a366bf2015-12-14 07:02:51 +08004761) Three APIS
477
478 - lws_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
479 - lws_callback_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
480 - lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol)
481
482Now take an additional pointer to the lws_context in their first argument.
483
484The reason for this change is struct lws_protocols has been changed to remove
485members that lws used for private storage: so the protocols struct in now
486truly const and may be reused serially or simultaneously by different contexts.
487
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +08004882) Eleven APIs

5564) context parameter removed from user callback.
557
558Since almost all apis no longer need the context as a parameter, it's no longer
559provided at the user callback directly.
560
561However if you need it, for ALL callbacks wsi is valid and has a valid context
Andy Green6d645392015-12-17 18:25:25 +0800562pointer you can recover using lws_get_context(wsi).

570
571LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_CONNECTION_ERROR may provide an error string if in is

573
Andy Green6d59f592015-10-15 09:12:58 +0800574LWS_SERVER_OPTION_PEER_CERT_NOT_REQUIRED is available to relax the requirement
575for peer certs if you are using the option to require client certs.
576
Andy Green4c79ee72015-10-15 11:20:40 +0800577LWS_WITHOUT_BUILTIN_SHA1 cmake option forces lws to use SHA1() defined

584User api additions
585------------------
586
587There's a new member in the info struct used to control context creation,
588ssl_private_key_password, which allows passing into lws the passphrase on
589an SSL cetificate
590
Andy Greeneabed8d2014-08-11 12:11:36 +0800591There's a new member in struct protocols, id, which is ignored by lws but can
592be used by the user code to mark the selected protocol by user-defined version
593or capabliity flag information, for the case multiple versions of a protocol are
594supported.
595
Andy Greenb128ccc2014-08-16 09:54:27 +0800596int lws_is_ssl(wsi) added to allow user code to know if the connection was made
597over ssl or not. If LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT is used, both
598ssl and non-ssl connections are possible and may need to be treated differently
599in the user code.
600
Andy Green14425ea2014-08-18 22:49:39 +0800601int lws_partial_buffered(wsi) added... should be checked after any
602libwebsocket_write that will be followed by another libwebsocket_write inside
603the same writeable callback. If set, you can't do any more writes until the
604writeable callback is called again. If you only do one write per writeable callback,
605you can ignore this.
606
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800607HTTP2-related: HTTP2 changes how headers are handled, lws now has new version-
608agnositic header creation APIs. These do the right thing depending on each
609connection's HTTP version without the user code having to know or care, except
610to make sure to use the new APIs for headers (test-server is updated to use
611them already, so look there for examples)
612
613The APIs "render" the headers into a user-provided buffer and bump *p as it
614is used. If *p reaches end, then the APIs return nonzero for error.
615
616LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int
617lws_add_http_header_status(struct libwebsocket_context *context,
618 struct libwebsocket *wsi,

648 const unsigned char *value,
649 int length,
650 unsigned char **p,
651 unsigned char *end);
652
653Add a header by using a lws token as the name part. In HTTP2, this can be
654compressed to one or two bytes.

Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800657User api removal
658----------------
659
660protocols struct member no_buffer_all_partial_tx is removed. Under some
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200661conditions like rewriting extension such as compression in use, the built-in
Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800662partial send buffering is the only way to deal with the problem, so turning
663it off is deprecated.
664
665
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800666User api changes
667----------------
668
669HTTP2-related: API libwebsockets_serve_http_file() takes an extra parameter at
670the end now
671
672int other_headers_len)
673
674If you are providing other headers, they must be generated using the new
675HTTP-version-agnostic APIs, and you must provide the length of them using this
676additional parameter.
677
joseph.urciuoli4d9c8fc2014-10-16 08:53:19 +0800678struct lws_context_creation_info now has an additional member
679SSL_CTX *provided_client_ssl_ctx you may set to an externally-initialized
680SSL_CTX managed outside lws. Defaulting to zero keeps the existing behaviour of
681lws managing the context, if you memset the struct to 0 or have as a filescope
682initialized struct in bss, no need to change anything.

747------------------
748
749POST method is supported
750
751The protocol 0 / HTTP callback can now get two new kinds of callback,
752LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY (in and len are a chunk of the body of the HTTP request)
753and LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY_COMPLETION (the expected amount of body has arrived
754and been passed to the user code already). These callbacks are used with the
755post method (see the test server for details).
756
757The period between the HTTP header completion and the completion of the body
758processing is protected by a 5s timeout.
759
760The chunks are stored in a malloc'd buffer of size protocols[0].rx_buffer_size.
761
762
James Devine5b34c972013-12-14 11:41:29 +0800763New server option you can enable from user code
764LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT allows non-SSL connections to
765also be accepted on an SSL listening port. It's disabled unless you enable
766it explicitly.
767
768
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800769Two new callbacks are added in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing
770limited thread access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and
771LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
772
773If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if
774you want to use external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable()
775you have to implement your locking here even if you don't use external
776poll support.
777
778If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing
779your list of live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks
780(with your own locking).
781
Andrew Canaday9769f4f2014-03-23 13:25:07 +0800782If you configure cmake with -DLWS_WITH_LIBEV=1 then the code allowing the libev
783eventloop instead of the default poll() one will also be compiled in. But to
784use it, you must also set the LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV flag on the context
785creation info struct options member.
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800786
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800787IPV6 is supported and enabled by default except for Windows, you can disable
788the support at build-time by giving -DLWS_IPV6=, and disable use of it even if
James Devine3f13ea22014-03-24 16:09:25 +0800789compiled in by making sure the flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_IPV6 is set on
790the context creation info struct options member.
791
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800792You can give LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_OS_CA_CERTS option flag to
793guarantee the OS CAs will not be used, even if that support was selected at
794build-time.
795
796Optional "token limits" may be enforced by setting the member "token_limits"
797in struct lws_context_creation_info to point to a struct lws_token_limits.
798NULL means no token limits used for compatibility.

804Extra optional argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file() allows injecion
805of HTTP headers into the canned response. Eg, cookies may be added like
806that without getting involved in having to send the header by hand.
807
Patrick Gansterer148b9452014-02-28 02:31:23 +0100808A new info member http_proxy_address may be used at context creation time to
809set the http proxy. If non-NULL, it overrides http_proxy environment var.

Andy Greend2ec7ad2014-03-15 10:39:29 +0800811Cmake supports LWS_SSL_CLIENT_USE_OS_CA_CERTS defaulting to on, which gets
812the client to use the OS CA Roots. If you're worried somebody with the
813ability to forge for force creation of a client cert from the root CA in
814your OS, you should disable this since your selfsigned $0 cert is a lot safer
815then...

872User api additions
873------------------
874
875 - You can now call libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() on http connectons,
876 and get a LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_WRITEABLE callback, the same way you can
877 regulate writes with a websocket protocol connection.
878
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800879 - A new member in the context creation parameter struct "ssl_cipher_list" is
880 added, replacing CIPHERS_LIST_STRING. NULL means use the ssl library
881 default list of ciphers.
882
Andy Green58f214e2013-03-09 13:03:53 +0800883 - Not really an api addition, but libwebsocket_service_fd() will now zero
884 the revents field of the pollfd it was called with if it handled the
885 descriptor. So you can tell if it is a non-lws fd by checking revents
886 after the service call... if it's still nonzero, the descriptor
887 belongs to you and you need to take care of it.
888
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800889 - libwebsocket_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(protocol) will unthrottle all
890 connections with the established protocol. It's designed to be
891 called from user server code when it sees it can accept more input
892 and may have throttled connections using the server rx flow apis
893 while it was unable to accept any other input The user server code
894 then does not have to try to track while connections it choked, this
895 will free up all of them in one call.
896
Andy Green0c9563b2013-06-10 22:54:40 +0800897 - there's a new, optional callback LWS_CALLBACK_CLOSED_HTTP which gets
898 called when an HTTP protocol socket closes
899
Andy Green96d48fd2013-09-18 08:32:55 +0800900 - for LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION callback, the user_space alloc
901 has already been done before the callback happens. That means we can
902 use the user parameter to the callback to contain the user pointer, and
903 move the protocol name to the "in" parameter. The docs for this
904 callback are also updated to reflect how to check headers in there.
905
Andy Green5dc62ea2013-09-20 20:26:12 +0800906 - libwebsocket_client_connect() is now properly nonblocking and async. See
907 README.coding and test-client.c for information on the callbacks you
908 can rely on controlling the async connection period with.
909
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800910 - if your OS does not support the http_proxy environment variable convention
911 (eg, reportedly OSX), you can use a new api libwebsocket_set_proxy()
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200912 to set the proxy details in between context creation and the connection
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800913 action. For OSes that support http_proxy, that's used automatically.
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800914
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800915User api changes
916----------------
917
918 - the external poll callbacks now get the socket descriptor coming from the
919 "in" parameter. The user parameter provides the user_space for the
920 wsi as it normally does on the other callbacks.
Edwin van den Oetelaar8c8a8e12013-02-20 20:56:59 +0800921 LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION also has the socket descriptor
922 delivered by @in now instead of @user.
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800923
Andy Greenfc7c5e42013-02-23 10:50:10 +0800924 - libwebsocket_write() now returns -1 for error, or the amount of data
925 actually accepted for send. Under load, the OS may signal it is
926 ready to send new data on the socket, but have only a restricted
927 amount of memory to buffer the packet compared to usual.
928
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800929
Andy Greendc914cf2013-02-18 16:54:26 +0800930User api removal
931----------------
932
933 - libwebsocket_ensure_user_space() is removed from the public api, if you
934 were using it to get user_space, you need to adapt your code to only
935 use user_space inside the user callback.
936
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800937 - CIPHERS_LIST_STRING is removed
938
Andy Green0097a992013-03-09 13:06:37 +0800939 - autotools build has been removed. See README.build for info on how to
940 use CMake for your platform
941
Andy Green54cb3462013-02-14 22:23:54 +0800942
Andy Green53a46782013-02-14 11:23:49 +0800943v1.21-chrome26-firefox18
944========================
945
946 - Fixes buffer overflow bug in max frame size handling if you used the
947 default protocol buffer size. If you declared rx_buffer_size in your
948 protocol, which is recommended anyway, your code was unaffected.

1000User api additions
1001------------------
1002
1003 - lws_get_library_version() returns a const char * with a string like
1004 "1.1 9e7f737", representing the library version from configure.ac
1005 and the git HEAD hash the library was built from
1006
Andy Greena47865f2013-02-10 09:39:47 +08001007 - TCP Keepalive can now optionally be applied to all lws sockets, on Linux
1008 also with controllable timeout, number of probes and probe interval.
1009 (On BSD type OS, you can only use system default settings for the
1010 timing and retries, although enabling it is supported by setting
1011 ka_time to nonzero, the exact value has no meaning.)
1012 This enables detection of idle connections which are logically okay,
1013 but are in fact dead, due to network connectivity issues at the server,
Andy Greena690cd02013-02-09 12:25:31 +08001014 client, or any intermediary. By default it's not enabled, but you
1015 can enable it by setting a non-zero timeout (in seconds) at the new
1016 ka_time member at context creation time.
1017
Andy Greena7109e62013-02-11 12:05:54 +08001018 - Two new optional user callbacks added, LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_DESTROY which
1019 is called one-time per protocol as the context is being destroyed, and
1020 LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT which is called when the context is created
1021 and the protocols are added, again it's a one-time affair.
1022 This lets you manage per-protocol allocations properly including
1023 cleaning up after yourself when the server goes down.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001024
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001025User api changes
1026----------------
1027
Andy Green1b265272013-02-09 14:01:09 +08001028 - libwebsocket_create_context() has changed from taking a ton of parameters
1029 to just taking a pointer to a struct containing the parameters. The
1030 struct lws_context_creation_info is in libwebsockets.h, the members
1031 are in the same order as when they were parameters to the call
1032 previously. The test apps are all updated accordingly so you can
1033 see example code there.
1034
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001035 - Header tokens are now deleted after the websocket connection is
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001036 established. Not just the header data is saved, but the pointer and
1037 length array is also removed from (union) scope saving several hundred
1038 bytes per connection once it is established
1039
1040 - struct libwebsocket_protocols has a new member rx_buffer_size, this
1041 controls rx buffer size per connection of that protocol now. Sources
1042 for apps built against older versions of the library won't declare
1043 this in their protocols, defaulting it to 0. Zero buffer is legal,
1044 it causes a default buffer to be allocated (currently 4096)
1045
1046 If you want to receive only atomic frames in your user callback, you
1047 should set this to greater than your largest frame size. If a frame
1048 comes that exceeds that, no error occurs but the callback happens as
1049 soon as the buffer limit is reached, and again if it is reached again
1050 or the frame completes. You can detect that has happened by seeing
1051 there is still frame content pending using
1052 libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload()
1053
1054 By correctly setting this, you can save a lot of memory when your
1055 protocol has small frames (see the test server and client sources).
1056
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001057 - LWS_MAX_HEADER_LEN now defaults to 1024 and is the total amount of known
1058 header payload lws can cope with, that includes the GET URL, origin
1059 etc. Headers not understood by lws are ignored and their payload
1060 not included in this.
1061
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001062
1063User api removals
1064-----------------
1065
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001066 - The configuration-time option MAX_USER_RX_BUFFER has been replaced by a
1067 buffer size chosen per-protocol. For compatibility, there's a default
1068 of 4096 rx buffer, but user code should set the appropriate size for
1069 the protocol frames.
1070
1071 - LWS_INITIAL_HDR_ALLOC and LWS_ADDITIONAL_HDR_ALLOC are no longer needed
1072 and have been removed. There's a new header management scheme that
1073 handles them in a much more compact way.
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001074
Andy Green70edd6f2013-02-12 10:15:25 +08001075 - libwebsockets_hangup_on_client() is removed. If you want to close the
1076 connection you must do so from the user callback and by returning
1077 -1 from there.
1078
Andy Green508946c2013-02-12 10:19:08 +08001079 - libwebsocket_close_and_free_session() is now private to the library code
1080 only and not exposed for user code. If you want to close the
1081 connection, you must do so from the user callback by returning -1
1082 from there.
1083
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001084
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001085New features
1086------------
1087
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001088 - Cmake project file added, aimed initially at Windows support: this replaces
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001089 the visual studio project files that were in the tree until now.
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001090
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001091 - CyaSSL now supported in place of OpenSSL (--use-cyassl on configure)
1092
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001093 - PATH_MAX or MAX_PATH no longer needed
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001094
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001095 - cutomizable frame rx buffer size by protocol
1096
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001097 - optional TCP keepalive so dead peers can be detected, can be enabled at
1098 context-creation time
1099
1100 - valgrind-clean: no SSL or CyaSSL: completely clean. With OpenSSL, 88 bytes
1101 lost at OpenSSL library init and symptomless reports of uninitialized
1102 memory usage... seems to be a known and ignored problem at OpenSSL
1103
Andy Greena3957ef2013-02-11 09:31:43 +08001104 - By default debug is enabled and the library is built for -O0 -g to faclitate
1105 that. Use --disable-debug configure option to build instead with -O4
1106 and no -g (debug info), obviously providing best performance and
1107 reduced binary size.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001108
Andy Green895d56d2013-02-11 09:32:53 +08001109 - 1.0 introduced some code to try to not deflate small frames, however this
1110 seems to break when confronted with a mixture of frames above and
1111 below the threshold, so it's removed. Veto the compression extension
1112 in your user callback if you will typically have very small frames.
1113
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001114 - There are many memory usage improvements, both a reduction in malloc/
1115 realloc and architectural changes. A websocket connection now
1116 consumes only 296 bytes with SSL or 272 bytes without on x86_64,
1117 during header processing an additional 1262 bytes is allocated in a
1118 single malloc, but is freed when the websocket connection starts.
1119 The RX frame buffer defined by the protocol in user
1120 code is also allocated per connection, this represents the largest
1121 frame you can receive atomically in that protocol.
1122
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001123 - On ARM9 build, just http+ws server no extensions or ssl, <12Kbytes .text
1124 and 112 bytes per connection (+1328 only during header processing)
1125

1204user api changes
1205----------------
1206
1207 - libwebsockets_serve_http_file() now takes a context as first argument
1208
1209 - libwebsockets_get_peer_addresses() now takes a context and wsi as first
1210 two arguments
1211
1212
1213user api additions
1214------------------
1215
1216 - lwsl_...() logging apis, default to stderr but retargetable by user code;
1217 may be used also by user code
1218
1219 - lws_set_log_level() set which logging apis are able to emit (defaults to
1220 notice, warn, err severities), optionally set the emit callback
1221
1222 - lwsl_emit_syslog() helper callback emits to syslog
1223
1224 - lws_daemonize() helper code that forks the app into a headless daemon
1225 properly, maintains a lock file with pid in suitable for sysvinit etc to
1226 control lifecycle
1227
1228 - LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION callback added since http file
1229 transfer is now asynchronous (see test server code)
1230
1231 - lws_frame_is_binary() from a wsi pointer, let you know if the received
1232 data was sent in BINARY mode
1233
1234
1235user api removals
1236-----------------
1237
1238 - libwebsockets_fork_service_loop() - no longer supported (had intractable problems)
1239 arrange your code to act from the user callback instead from same
1240 process context as the service loop
1241
1242 - libwebsockets_broadcast() - use libwebsocket_callback_on_writable[_all_protocol]()
1243 instead from same process context as the service loop. See the test apps
1244 for examples.
1245
1246 - x-google-mux() removed until someone wants it
1247
1248 - pre -v13 (ancient) protocol support removed
1249
1250
1251New features
1252------------
1253
1254 - echo test server and client compatible with echo.websocket.org added
1255
1256 - many new configure options (see README.build) to reduce footprint of the
1257 library to what you actually need, eg, --without-client and
1258 --without-server
1259
1260 - http + websocket server can build to as little as 12K .text for ARM
1261
1262 - no more MAX_CLIENTS limitation; adapts to support the max number of fds
1263 allowed to the process by ulimit, defaults to 1024 on Fedora and
1264 Ubuntu. Use ulimit to control this without needing to configure
1265 the library. Code here is smaller and faster.
1266
1267 - adaptive ratio of listen socket to connection socket service allows
1268 good behaviour under Apache ab test load. Tested with thousands
1269 of simultaneous connections
1270
1271 - reduction in per-connection memory footprint by moving to a union to hold
1272 mutually-exclusive state for the connection
1273
1274 - robustness: Out of Memory taken care of for all allocation code now
1275
1276 - internal getifaddrs option if your toolchain lacks it (some uclibc)
1277
1278 - configurable memory limit for deflate operations
1279
1280 - improvements in SSL code nonblocking operation, possible hang solved,
1281 some SSL operations broken down into pollable states so there is
1282 no library blocking, timeout coverage for SSL_connect
1283
1284 - extpoll test server merged into single test server source
1285
1286 - robustness: library should deal with all recoverable socket conditions
1287
1288 - rx flowcontrol for backpressure notification fixed and implmeneted
1289 correctly in the test server
1290
1291 - optimal lexical parser added for header processing; all headers in a
1292 single 276-byte state table
1293
1294 - latency tracking api added (configure --with-latency)
1295
1296 - Improved in-tree documentation, REAME.build, README.coding,
1297 README.test-apps, changelog
1298
1299 - Many small fixes
