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
13Changes
14-------
15
161) MINOR test-server gained some new switches
17
18 -C <file> use external SSL cert file
19 -K <file> use external SSL key file
20 -A <file> use external SSL CA cert file
21
22 -u <uid> set effective uid
23 -g <gid> set effective gid
24
25together you can use them like this to have the test-server work with the
26usual purchased SSL certs from an official CA.
27
28 --ssl -C your.crt -K your.key -A your.cer -u 99 -g 99
29
302) MINOR the OpenSSL magic to setup ECDH cipher usage is implemented in the
31library, and the ciphers restricted to use ECDH only.
32Using this, the lws test server can score an A at SSLLABS test
33
343) MINOR STS (SSL always) header is added to the test server if you use --ssl. With
35that, we score A+ at SSLLABS test
36
374) MINOR daemonize function (disabled at cmake by default) is updated to work
38with systemd
39
405) MINOR example systemd .service file now provided for test server
41(not installed by default)
42
Andy Green0ad1a6e2016-02-20 14:05:55 +0800436) test server html is updated with tabs and a new live server monitoring
44feature. Input sanitization added to the js.
45
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080046User API additions
47------------------
48
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +0800491) MINOR APIBREAK There's a new member in struct lws_context_creation_info, ecdh_curve,
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080050which lets you set the name of the ECDH curve OpenSSL should use. By
51default (if you leave ecdh_curve NULL) it will use "prime256v1"

57
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +080058Extension Changes
59-----------------
60
611) There is now a "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692 implementation. It's very
62similar to "deflate-frame" we have offered for a long while; deflate-frame is
63now provided as an alias of permessage-deflate.
64
65The main differences are that the new permessage-deflate implementation:
66
67 - properly performs streaming respecting input and output buffer limits. The
68 old deflate-frame implementation could only work on complete deflate input
69 and produce complete inflate output for each frame. The new implementation
70 only mallocs buffers at initialization.
71
72 - goes around the event loop after each input package is processed allowing
73 interleaved output processing. The RX flow control api can be used to
74 force compressed input processing to match the rate of compressed output
75 processing (test--echo shows an example of how to do this).
76
77 - when being "deflate-frame" for compatibility he uses the same default zlib
78 settings as the old "deflate-frame", but instead of exponentially increasing
79 malloc allocations until the whole output will fit, he observes the default
80 input and output chunking buffer sizes of "permessage-deflate", that's
81 1024 in and 1024 out at a time.
82
832) deflate-stream has been disabled for many versions (for over a year) and is
84now removed. Browsers are now standardizing on "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692
85
863) struct lws_extension is simplified, and lws extensions now have a public
87api (their callback) for use in user code to compose extensions and options
88the user code wants. lws_get_internal_exts() is deprecated but kept around
89as a NOP. The changes allow one extension implementation to go by different
90names and allows the user client code to control option offers per-ext.
91
92The test client and server are updated to use the new way. If you use
93the old way it should still work, but extensions will be disabled until you
94update your code.
95
96Extensions are now responsible for allocating and per-instance private struct
97at instance construction time and freeing it when the instance is destroyed.
98Not needing to know the size means the extension's struct can be opaque
99to user code.

101
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800102User api additions
103------------------
104
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +08001051) The info struct gained three new members
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800106
107 - max_http_header_data: 0 for default (1024) or set the maximum amount of known
108 http header payload that lws can deal with. Payload in unknown http
109 headers is dropped silently. If for some reason you need to send huge
110 cookies or other HTTP-level headers, you can now increase this at context-
111 creation time.
112
113 - max_http_header_pool: 0 for default (16) or set the maximum amount of http
114 headers that can be tracked by lws in this context. For the server, if
115 the header pool is completely in use then accepts on the listen socket
116 are disabled until one becomes free. For the client, if you simultaneously
117 have pending connects for more than this number of client connections,
118 additional connects will fail until some of the pending connections timeout
119 or complete.
120
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +0800121 - timeout_secs: 0 for default (currently 20s), or set the library's
122 network activity timeout to the given number of seconds
123
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800124HTTP header processing in lws only exists until just after the first main
125callback after the HTTP handshake... for ws connections that is ESTABLISHED and
126for HTTP connections the HTTP callback.
127
128So these settings are not related to the maximum number of simultaneous
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800129connections, but the number of HTTP handshakes that may be expected or ongoing,
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800130or have just completed, at one time. The reason it's useful is it changes the
131memory allocation for header processing to be one-time at context creation
132instead of every time there is a new connection, and gives you control over
133the peak allocation.
134
135Setting max_http_header_pool to 1 is fine it will just queue incoming
136connections before the accept as necessary, you can still have as many
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800137simultaneous post-header connections as you like. Since the http header
138processing is completed and the allocation released after ESTABLISHED or the
139HTTP callback, even with a pool of 1 many connections can be handled rapidly.
140
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +08001412) There is a new callback that allows the user code to get acccess to the
142optional close code + aux data that may have been sent by the peer.
143
144LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
145 The peer has sent an unsolicited Close WS packet. @in and
146 @len are the optional close code (first 2 bytes, network
147 order) and the optional additional information which is not
148 defined in the standard, and may be a string or non-human-
149 readble data.
150 If you return 0 lws will echo the close and then close the
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800151 connection. If you return nonzero lws will just close the
152 connection.
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +0800153
154As usual not handling it does the right thing, if you're not interested in it
155just ignore it.
156
157The test server has "open and close" testing buttons at the bottom, if you
158open and close that connection, on close it will send a close code 3000 decimal
159and the string "Bye!" as the aux data.
160
161The test server dumb-increment callback handles this callback reason and prints
162
163lwsts[15714]: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE: len 6
164lwsts[15714]: 0: 0x0B
165lwsts[15714]: 1: 0xB8
166lwsts[15714]: 2: 0x42
167lwsts[15714]: 3: 0x79
168lwsts[15714]: 4: 0x65
169lwsts[15714]: 5: 0x21
170
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08001713) There is a new API to allow the user code to control the content of the
172close frame sent when about to return nonzero from the user callback to
173indicate the connection should close.
174
175/**
176 * lws_close_reason - Set reason and aux data to send with Close packet
177 * If you are going to return nonzero from the callback
178 * requesting the connection to close, you can optionally
179 * call this to set the reason the peer will be told if
180 * possible.
181 *
182 * @wsi: The websocket connection to set the close reason on
183 * @status: A valid close status from websocket standard
184 * @buf: NULL or buffer containing up to 124 bytes of auxiliary data
185 * @len: Length of data in @buf to send
186 */
187LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void
188lws_close_reason(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_close_status status,
189 unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
190
191An extra button is added to the "open and close" test server page that requests
192that the test server close the connection from his end.
193
194The test server code will do so by
195
196 lws_close_reason(wsi, LWS_CLOSE_STATUS_GOINGAWAY,
197 (unsigned char *)"seeya", 5);
198 return -1;
199
200The browser shows the close code and reason he received
201
202websocket connection CLOSED, code: 1001, reason: seeya
203
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002044) There's a new context creation time option flag
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +0800205
206LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VALIDATE_UTF8
207
208if you set it in info->options, then TEXT and CLOSE frames will get checked to
209confirm that they contain valid UTF-8. If they don't, the connection will get
210closed by lws.
211
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002125) ECDH Certs are now supported. Enable the CMake option
213
214cmake .. -DLWS_SSL_SERVER_WITH_ECDH_CERT=1
215
216**and** the info->options flag
217
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +0800218LWS_SERVER_OPTION_SSL_ECDH
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +0800219
220to build in support and select it at runtime.
221
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +08002226) There's a new api lws_parse_uri() that simplifies chopping up
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800223https://xxx:yyy/zzz uris into parts nicely. The test client now uses this
Andy Greend3a55052016-01-19 03:34:24 +0800224to allow proper uris as well as the old address style.
225
2267) SMP support is integrated into LWS without any internal threading. It's
227very simple to use, libwebsockets-test-server-pthread shows how to do it,
228use -j <n> argument there to control the number of service threads up to 32.
229
230Two new members are added to the info struct
231
232 unsigned int count_threads;
233 unsigned int fd_limit_per_thread;
234
235leave them at the default 0 to get the normal singlethreaded service loop.
236
237Set count_threads to n to tell lws you will have n simultaneous service threads
238operating on the context.
239
240There is still a single listen socket on one port, no matter how many
241service threads.
242
243When a connection is made, it is accepted by the service thread with the least
244connections active to perform load balancing.
245
246The user code is responsible for spawning n threads running the service loop
247associated to a specific tsi (Thread Service Index, 0 .. n - 1). See
248the libwebsockets-test-server-pthread for how to do.
249
250If you leave fd_limit_per_thread at 0, then the process limit of fds is shared
251between the service threads; if you process was allowed 1024 fds overall then
252each thread is limited to 1024 / n.
253
254You can set fd_limit_per_thread to a nonzero number to control this manually, eg
255the overall supported fd limit is less than the process allowance.
256
257You can control the context basic data allocation for multithreading from Cmake
258using -DLWS_MAX_SMP=, if not given it's set to 32. The serv_buf allocation
259for the threads (currently 4096) is made at runtime only for active threads.
260
261Because lws will limit the requested number of actual threads supported
262according to LWS_MAX_SMP, there is an api lws_get_count_threads(context) to
263discover how many threads were actually allowed when the context was created.
264
265It's required to implement locking in the user code in the same way that
266libwebsockets-test-server-pthread does it, for the FD locking callbacks.
267
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +0800268If LWS_MAX_SMP=1, then there is no code related to pthreads compiled in the
269library. If more than 1, a small amount of pthread mutex code is built into
270the library.
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800271
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +08002728) New API
273
274LWS_VISIBLE struct lws *
275lws_adopt_socket(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd)
276
277allows foreign sockets accepted by non-lws code to be adopted by lws as if they
278had just been accepted by lws' own listen socket.
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800279
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08002809) X-Real-IP: header has been added as WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_X_REAL_IP
281
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +080028210) Libuv support is added, there are new related user apis
283
284typedef void (lws_uv_signal_cb_t)(uv_loop_t *l, uv_signal_t *w, int revents);
285
286LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int

Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800301User api changes
302----------------
303
3041) LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is now 0 and deprecated. You can remove it; if
305you still use it, obviously it does nothing. Old binary code with nonzero
306LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is perfectly compatible, the old code just
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800307allocated a buffer bigger than the library is going to use.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800308
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800309The example apps no longer use LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800310
Andy Green4e2ac762015-12-26 20:26:11 +0800311The only path who made use of it was sending with LWS_WRITE_CLOSE --->
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800312
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08003132) Because of lws_close_reason() formalizing handling close frames,
314LWS_WRITE_CLOSE is removed from libwebsockets.h. It was only of use to send
315close frames...close frame content should be managed using lws_close_reason()
316now.
317
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08003183) We check for invalid CLOSE codes and complain about protocol violation in
319our close code. But it changes little since we were in the middle of closing
320anyway.
321
3224) zero-length RX frames and zero length TX frames are now allowed.
323
3245) Pings and close used to be limited to 124 bytes, the correct limit is 125
325so that is now also allowed.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800326
Steffen Vogelf9267172016-02-09 07:19:15 +01003276) LWS_PRE is provided as a synonym for LWS_SEND_BUFFER_PRE_PADDING, either is
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800328valid to use now.
329
3307) There's generic support for RFC7462 style extension options built into the
331library now. As a consequence, a field "options" is added to lws_extension.
332It can be NULL if there are no options on the extension. Extension internal
333info is part of the public abi because extensions may be implemented outside
334the library.
335
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08003368) WSI_TOKEN_PROXY enum was accidentally defined to collide with another token
337of value 73. That's now corrected and WSI_TOKEN_PROXY moved to his own place at
33877.
339
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +08003409) With the addition of libuv support, libev is not the only event loop
341library in town and his api names must be elaborated with _ev_
342
343 Callback typedef: lws_signal_cb ---> lws_ev_signal_cb_t
344 lws_sigint_cfg --> lws_ev_sigint_cfg
345 lws_initloop --> lws_ev_initloop
346 lws_sigint_cb --> lws_ev_sigint_cb
347
34810) Libev support is made compatible with multithreaded service,
349lws_ev_initloop (was lws_initloop) gets an extra argument for the
350thread service index (use 0 if you will just have 1 service thread).

357=======================
358
359Major API improvements
360----------------------
361
362v1.6.0 has many cleanups and improvements in the API. Although at first it
363looks pretty drastic, user code will only need four actions to update it.
364
365 - Do the three search/replaces in your user code, /libwebsocket_/lws_/,
366 /libwebsockets_/lws_/, and /struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws/
367
368 - Remove the context parameter from your user callbacks
369
370 - Remove context as the first parameter from the "Eleven APIS" listed in the
371 User Api Changes section
372
373 - Add lws_get_context(wsi) as the first parameter on the "Three APIS" listed
374 in the User Api Changes section, and anywhere else you still need context
375
376That's it... generally only a handful of the 14 affected APIs are actually in
377use in your user code and you can find them quickest by compiling and visiting
378the errors each in turn. And the end results are much cleaner, more
379predictable and maintainable.
380
381
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800382User api additions
383------------------
384
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08003851) lws now exposes his internal platform file abstraction in a way that can be
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800386both used by user code to make it platform-agnostic, and be overridden or
387subclassed by user code. This allows things like handling the URI "directory
388space" as a virtual filesystem that may or may not be backed by a regular
389filesystem. One example use is serving files from inside large compressed
390archive storage without having to unpack anything except the file being
391requested.
392
393The test server shows how to use it, basically the platform-specific part of
394lws prepares a file operations structure that lives in the lws context.
395
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800396Helpers are provided to also leverage these platform-independent file handling
397apis

416The user code can also override or subclass the file operations, to either
417wrap or replace them. An example is shown in test server.
418
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800419A wsi can be associated with the file activity, allowing per-connection
420authentication and state to be used when interpreting the file request.
421
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004222) A new API void * lws_wsi_user(struct lws *wsi) lets you get the pointer to
423the user data associated with the wsi, just from the wsi.
424
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +08004253) URI argument handling. Libwebsockets parses and protects URI arguments
426like test.html?arg1=1&arg2=2, it decodes %xx uriencoding format and reduces
427path attacks like ../.../../etc/passwd so they cannot go behind the web
428server's /. There is a list of confirmed attacks we're proof against in
429./test-server/attack.sh.
430
431There is a new API lws_hdr_copy_fragment that should be used now to access
432the URI arguments (it returns the fragments length)
433
434 while (lws_hdr_copy_fragment(wsi, buf, sizeof(buf),
435 WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_URI_ARGS, n) > 0) {
436 lwsl_info("URI Arg %d: %s\n", ++n, buf);
437 }
438
439For the example above, calling with n=0 will return "arg1=1" and n=1 "arg2=2".
440All legal uriencodings will have been reduced in those strings.
441
442lws_hdr_copy_fragment() returns the length of the x=y fragment, so it's also
443possible to deal with arguments containing %00. If you don't care about that,
444the returned string has '\0' appended to simplify processing.

Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800447User api changes
448----------------
449
Andy Green1a366bf2015-12-14 07:02:51 +08004501) Three APIS
451
452 - lws_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
453 - lws_callback_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
454 - lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol)
455
456Now take an additional pointer to the lws_context in their first argument.
457
458The reason for this change is struct lws_protocols has been changed to remove
459members that lws used for private storage: so the protocols struct in now
460truly const and may be reused serially or simultaneously by different contexts.
461
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +08004622) Eleven APIs

520
5213) Several older apis start with libwebsocket_ or libwebsockets_ while newer ones
Andy Green6d417202015-12-04 10:39:23 +0800522all begin lws_. These apis have been changed to all begin with lws_.
523

Andy Green00c6d152015-12-17 07:54:44 +0800529
5304) context parameter removed from user callback.
531
532Since almost all apis no longer need the context as a parameter, it's no longer
533provided at the user callback directly.
534
535However if you need it, for ALL callbacks wsi is valid and has a valid context
Andy Green6d645392015-12-17 18:25:25 +0800536pointer you can recover using lws_get_context(wsi).

558User api additions
559------------------
560
561There's a new member in the info struct used to control context creation,
562ssl_private_key_password, which allows passing into lws the passphrase on
563an SSL cetificate
564
Andy Greeneabed8d2014-08-11 12:11:36 +0800565There's a new member in struct protocols, id, which is ignored by lws but can
566be used by the user code to mark the selected protocol by user-defined version
567or capabliity flag information, for the case multiple versions of a protocol are
568supported.
569
Andy Greenb128ccc2014-08-16 09:54:27 +0800570int lws_is_ssl(wsi) added to allow user code to know if the connection was made
571over ssl or not. If LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT is used, both
572ssl and non-ssl connections are possible and may need to be treated differently
573in the user code.
574
Andy Green14425ea2014-08-18 22:49:39 +0800575int lws_partial_buffered(wsi) added... should be checked after any
576libwebsocket_write that will be followed by another libwebsocket_write inside
577the same writeable callback. If set, you can't do any more writes until the
578writeable callback is called again. If you only do one write per writeable callback,
579you can ignore this.
580
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800581HTTP2-related: HTTP2 changes how headers are handled, lws now has new version-
582agnositic header creation APIs. These do the right thing depending on each
583connection's HTTP version without the user code having to know or care, except
584to make sure to use the new APIs for headers (test-server is updated to use
585them already, so look there for examples)
586
587The APIs "render" the headers into a user-provided buffer and bump *p as it
588is used. If *p reaches end, then the APIs return nonzero for error.
589
590LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int
591lws_add_http_header_status(struct libwebsocket_context *context,
592 struct libwebsocket *wsi,
593 unsigned int code,
594 unsigned char **p,
595 unsigned char *end);
596

611lws_finalize_http_header(struct libwebsocket_context *context,
612 struct libwebsocket *wsi,

622 const unsigned char *value,
623 int length,
624 unsigned char **p,
625 unsigned char *end);
626
627Add a header by using a lws token as the name part. In HTTP2, this can be
628compressed to one or two bytes.

Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800631User api removal
632----------------
633
634protocols struct member no_buffer_all_partial_tx is removed. Under some
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200635conditions like rewriting extension such as compression in use, the built-in
Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800636partial send buffering is the only way to deal with the problem, so turning
637it off is deprecated.
638
639
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800640User api changes
641----------------
642
643HTTP2-related: API libwebsockets_serve_http_file() takes an extra parameter at
644the end now
645
646int other_headers_len)
647
648If you are providing other headers, they must be generated using the new
649HTTP-version-agnostic APIs, and you must provide the length of them using this
650additional parameter.
651
joseph.urciuoli4d9c8fc2014-10-16 08:53:19 +0800652struct lws_context_creation_info now has an additional member
653SSL_CTX *provided_client_ssl_ctx you may set to an externally-initialized
654SSL_CTX managed outside lws. Defaulting to zero keeps the existing behaviour of
655lws managing the context, if you memset the struct to 0 or have as a filescope
656initialized struct in bss, no need to change anything.

721------------------
722
723POST method is supported
724
725The protocol 0 / HTTP callback can now get two new kinds of callback,
726LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY (in and len are a chunk of the body of the HTTP request)
727and LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY_COMPLETION (the expected amount of body has arrived
728and been passed to the user code already). These callbacks are used with the
729post method (see the test server for details).
730
731The period between the HTTP header completion and the completion of the body
732processing is protected by a 5s timeout.
733
734The chunks are stored in a malloc'd buffer of size protocols[0].rx_buffer_size.
735
736
James Devine5b34c972013-12-14 11:41:29 +0800737New server option you can enable from user code
738LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT allows non-SSL connections to
739also be accepted on an SSL listening port. It's disabled unless you enable
740it explicitly.
741
742
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800743Two new callbacks are added in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing
744limited thread access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and
745LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
746
747If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if
748you want to use external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable()
749you have to implement your locking here even if you don't use external
750poll support.
751
752If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing
753your list of live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks
754(with your own locking).
755
Andrew Canaday9769f4f2014-03-23 13:25:07 +0800756If you configure cmake with -DLWS_WITH_LIBEV=1 then the code allowing the libev
757eventloop instead of the default poll() one will also be compiled in. But to
758use it, you must also set the LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV flag on the context
759creation info struct options member.
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800760
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800761IPV6 is supported and enabled by default except for Windows, you can disable
762the support at build-time by giving -DLWS_IPV6=, and disable use of it even if
James Devine3f13ea22014-03-24 16:09:25 +0800763compiled in by making sure the flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_IPV6 is set on
764the context creation info struct options member.
765
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800766You can give LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_OS_CA_CERTS option flag to
767guarantee the OS CAs will not be used, even if that support was selected at
768build-time.
769
770Optional "token limits" may be enforced by setting the member "token_limits"
771in struct lws_context_creation_info to point to a struct lws_token_limits.
772NULL means no token limits used for compatibility.

776----------------
777
778Extra optional argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file() allows injecion
779of HTTP headers into the canned response. Eg, cookies may be added like
780that without getting involved in having to send the header by hand.
781
Patrick Gansterer148b9452014-02-28 02:31:23 +0100782A new info member http_proxy_address may be used at context creation time to
783set the http proxy. If non-NULL, it overrides http_proxy environment var.
Andy Green79002562013-11-09 11:04:35 +0800784
Andy Greend2ec7ad2014-03-15 10:39:29 +0800785Cmake supports LWS_SSL_CLIENT_USE_OS_CA_CERTS defaulting to on, which gets
786the client to use the OS CA Roots. If you're worried somebody with the
787ability to forge for force creation of a client cert from the root CA in
788your OS, you should disable this since your selfsigned $0 cert is a lot safer
789then...

846User api additions
847------------------
848
849 - You can now call libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() on http connectons,
850 and get a LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_WRITEABLE callback, the same way you can
851 regulate writes with a websocket protocol connection.
852
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800853 - A new member in the context creation parameter struct "ssl_cipher_list" is
854 added, replacing CIPHERS_LIST_STRING. NULL means use the ssl library
855 default list of ciphers.
856
Andy Green58f214e2013-03-09 13:03:53 +0800857 - Not really an api addition, but libwebsocket_service_fd() will now zero
858 the revents field of the pollfd it was called with if it handled the
859 descriptor. So you can tell if it is a non-lws fd by checking revents
860 after the service call... if it's still nonzero, the descriptor
861 belongs to you and you need to take care of it.
862
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800863 - libwebsocket_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(protocol) will unthrottle all
864 connections with the established protocol. It's designed to be
865 called from user server code when it sees it can accept more input
866 and may have throttled connections using the server rx flow apis
867 while it was unable to accept any other input The user server code
868 then does not have to try to track while connections it choked, this
869 will free up all of them in one call.
870
Andy Green0c9563b2013-06-10 22:54:40 +0800871 - there's a new, optional callback LWS_CALLBACK_CLOSED_HTTP which gets
872 called when an HTTP protocol socket closes
873
Andy Green96d48fd2013-09-18 08:32:55 +0800874 - for LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION callback, the user_space alloc
875 has already been done before the callback happens. That means we can
876 use the user parameter to the callback to contain the user pointer, and
877 move the protocol name to the "in" parameter. The docs for this
878 callback are also updated to reflect how to check headers in there.
879
Andy Green5dc62ea2013-09-20 20:26:12 +0800880 - libwebsocket_client_connect() is now properly nonblocking and async. See
881 README.coding and test-client.c for information on the callbacks you
882 can rely on controlling the async connection period with.
883
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800884 - if your OS does not support the http_proxy environment variable convention
885 (eg, reportedly OSX), you can use a new api libwebsocket_set_proxy()
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200886 to set the proxy details in between context creation and the connection
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800887 action. For OSes that support http_proxy, that's used automatically.
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800888
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800889User api changes
890----------------
891
892 - the external poll callbacks now get the socket descriptor coming from the
893 "in" parameter. The user parameter provides the user_space for the
894 wsi as it normally does on the other callbacks.
Edwin van den Oetelaar8c8a8e12013-02-20 20:56:59 +0800895 LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION also has the socket descriptor
896 delivered by @in now instead of @user.
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800897
Andy Greenfc7c5e42013-02-23 10:50:10 +0800898 - libwebsocket_write() now returns -1 for error, or the amount of data
899 actually accepted for send. Under load, the OS may signal it is
900 ready to send new data on the socket, but have only a restricted
901 amount of memory to buffer the packet compared to usual.
902
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800903
Andy Greendc914cf2013-02-18 16:54:26 +0800904User api removal
905----------------
906
907 - libwebsocket_ensure_user_space() is removed from the public api, if you
908 were using it to get user_space, you need to adapt your code to only
909 use user_space inside the user callback.
910
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800911 - CIPHERS_LIST_STRING is removed
912
Andy Green0097a992013-03-09 13:06:37 +0800913 - autotools build has been removed. See README.build for info on how to
914 use CMake for your platform
915
Andy Green54cb3462013-02-14 22:23:54 +0800916
Andy Green53a46782013-02-14 11:23:49 +0800917v1.21-chrome26-firefox18
918========================
919
920 - Fixes buffer overflow bug in max frame size handling if you used the
921 default protocol buffer size. If you declared rx_buffer_size in your
922 protocol, which is recommended anyway, your code was unaffected.
923

974User api additions
975------------------
976
977 - lws_get_library_version() returns a const char * with a string like
978 "1.1 9e7f737", representing the library version from configure.ac
979 and the git HEAD hash the library was built from
980
Andy Greena47865f2013-02-10 09:39:47 +0800981 - TCP Keepalive can now optionally be applied to all lws sockets, on Linux
982 also with controllable timeout, number of probes and probe interval.
983 (On BSD type OS, you can only use system default settings for the
984 timing and retries, although enabling it is supported by setting
985 ka_time to nonzero, the exact value has no meaning.)
986 This enables detection of idle connections which are logically okay,
987 but are in fact dead, due to network connectivity issues at the server,
Andy Greena690cd02013-02-09 12:25:31 +0800988 client, or any intermediary. By default it's not enabled, but you
989 can enable it by setting a non-zero timeout (in seconds) at the new
990 ka_time member at context creation time.
991
Andy Greena7109e62013-02-11 12:05:54 +0800992 - Two new optional user callbacks added, LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_DESTROY which
993 is called one-time per protocol as the context is being destroyed, and
994 LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT which is called when the context is created
995 and the protocols are added, again it's a one-time affair.
996 This lets you manage per-protocol allocations properly including
997 cleaning up after yourself when the server goes down.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +0800998
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +0800999User api changes
1000----------------
1001
Andy Green1b265272013-02-09 14:01:09 +08001002 - libwebsocket_create_context() has changed from taking a ton of parameters
1003 to just taking a pointer to a struct containing the parameters. The
1004 struct lws_context_creation_info is in libwebsockets.h, the members
1005 are in the same order as when they were parameters to the call
1006 previously. The test apps are all updated accordingly so you can
1007 see example code there.
1008
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001009 - Header tokens are now deleted after the websocket connection is
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001010 established. Not just the header data is saved, but the pointer and
1011 length array is also removed from (union) scope saving several hundred
1012 bytes per connection once it is established
1013
1014 - struct libwebsocket_protocols has a new member rx_buffer_size, this
1015 controls rx buffer size per connection of that protocol now. Sources
1016 for apps built against older versions of the library won't declare
1017 this in their protocols, defaulting it to 0. Zero buffer is legal,
1018 it causes a default buffer to be allocated (currently 4096)
1019
1020 If you want to receive only atomic frames in your user callback, you
1021 should set this to greater than your largest frame size. If a frame
1022 comes that exceeds that, no error occurs but the callback happens as
1023 soon as the buffer limit is reached, and again if it is reached again
1024 or the frame completes. You can detect that has happened by seeing
1025 there is still frame content pending using
1026 libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload()
1027
1028 By correctly setting this, you can save a lot of memory when your
1029 protocol has small frames (see the test server and client sources).
1030
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001031 - LWS_MAX_HEADER_LEN now defaults to 1024 and is the total amount of known
1032 header payload lws can cope with, that includes the GET URL, origin
1033 etc. Headers not understood by lws are ignored and their payload
1034 not included in this.
1035
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001036
1037User api removals
1038-----------------
1039
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001040 - The configuration-time option MAX_USER_RX_BUFFER has been replaced by a
1041 buffer size chosen per-protocol. For compatibility, there's a default
1042 of 4096 rx buffer, but user code should set the appropriate size for
1043 the protocol frames.
1044
1045 - LWS_INITIAL_HDR_ALLOC and LWS_ADDITIONAL_HDR_ALLOC are no longer needed
1046 and have been removed. There's a new header management scheme that
1047 handles them in a much more compact way.
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001048
Andy Green70edd6f2013-02-12 10:15:25 +08001049 - libwebsockets_hangup_on_client() is removed. If you want to close the
1050 connection you must do so from the user callback and by returning
1051 -1 from there.
1052
Andy Green508946c2013-02-12 10:19:08 +08001053 - libwebsocket_close_and_free_session() is now private to the library code
1054 only and not exposed for user code. If you want to close the
1055 connection, you must do so from the user callback by returning -1
1056 from there.
1057
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001058
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001059New features
1060------------
1061
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001062 - Cmake project file added, aimed initially at Windows support: this replaces
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001063 the visual studio project files that were in the tree until now.
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001064
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001065 - CyaSSL now supported in place of OpenSSL (--use-cyassl on configure)
1066
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001067 - PATH_MAX or MAX_PATH no longer needed
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001068
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001069 - cutomizable frame rx buffer size by protocol
1070
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001071 - optional TCP keepalive so dead peers can be detected, can be enabled at
1072 context-creation time
1073
1074 - valgrind-clean: no SSL or CyaSSL: completely clean. With OpenSSL, 88 bytes
1075 lost at OpenSSL library init and symptomless reports of uninitialized
1076 memory usage... seems to be a known and ignored problem at OpenSSL
1077
Andy Greena3957ef2013-02-11 09:31:43 +08001078 - By default debug is enabled and the library is built for -O0 -g to faclitate
1079 that. Use --disable-debug configure option to build instead with -O4
1080 and no -g (debug info), obviously providing best performance and
1081 reduced binary size.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001082
Andy Green895d56d2013-02-11 09:32:53 +08001083 - 1.0 introduced some code to try to not deflate small frames, however this
1084 seems to break when confronted with a mixture of frames above and
1085 below the threshold, so it's removed. Veto the compression extension
1086 in your user callback if you will typically have very small frames.
1087
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001088 - There are many memory usage improvements, both a reduction in malloc/
1089 realloc and architectural changes. A websocket connection now
1090 consumes only 296 bytes with SSL or 272 bytes without on x86_64,
1091 during header processing an additional 1262 bytes is allocated in a
1092 single malloc, but is freed when the websocket connection starts.
1093 The RX frame buffer defined by the protocol in user
1094 code is also allocated per connection, this represents the largest
1095 frame you can receive atomically in that protocol.
1096
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001097 - On ARM9 build, just http+ws server no extensions or ssl, <12Kbytes .text
1098 and 112 bytes per connection (+1328 only during header processing)
1099

1178user api changes
1179----------------
1180
1181 - libwebsockets_serve_http_file() now takes a context as first argument
1182
1183 - libwebsockets_get_peer_addresses() now takes a context and wsi as first
1184 two arguments
1185
1186
1187user api additions
1188------------------
1189
1190 - lwsl_...() logging apis, default to stderr but retargetable by user code;
1191 may be used also by user code
1192
1193 - lws_set_log_level() set which logging apis are able to emit (defaults to
1194 notice, warn, err severities), optionally set the emit callback
1195
1196 - lwsl_emit_syslog() helper callback emits to syslog
1197
1198 - lws_daemonize() helper code that forks the app into a headless daemon
1199 properly, maintains a lock file with pid in suitable for sysvinit etc to
1200 control lifecycle
1201
1202 - LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION callback added since http file
1203 transfer is now asynchronous (see test server code)
1204
1205 - lws_frame_is_binary() from a wsi pointer, let you know if the received
1206 data was sent in BINARY mode
1207
1208
1209user api removals
1210-----------------
1211
1212 - libwebsockets_fork_service_loop() - no longer supported (had intractable problems)
1213 arrange your code to act from the user callback instead from same
1214 process context as the service loop
1215
1216 - libwebsockets_broadcast() - use libwebsocket_callback_on_writable[_all_protocol]()
1217 instead from same process context as the service loop. See the test apps
1218 for examples.
1219
1220 - x-google-mux() removed until someone wants it
1221
1222 - pre -v13 (ancient) protocol support removed
1223
1224
1225New features
1226------------
1227
1228 - echo test server and client compatible with echo.websocket.org added
1229
1230 - many new configure options (see README.build) to reduce footprint of the
1231 library to what you actually need, eg, --without-client and
1232 --without-server
1233
1234 - http + websocket server can build to as little as 12K .text for ARM
1235
1236 - no more MAX_CLIENTS limitation; adapts to support the max number of fds
1237 allowed to the process by ulimit, defaults to 1024 on Fedora and
1238 Ubuntu. Use ulimit to control this without needing to configure
1239 the library. Code here is smaller and faster.
1240
1241 - adaptive ratio of listen socket to connection socket service allows
1242 good behaviour under Apache ab test load. Tested with thousands
1243 of simultaneous connections
1244
1245 - reduction in per-connection memory footprint by moving to a union to hold
1246 mutually-exclusive state for the connection
1247
1248 - robustness: Out of Memory taken care of for all allocation code now
1249
1250 - internal getifaddrs option if your toolchain lacks it (some uclibc)
1251
1252 - configurable memory limit for deflate operations
1253
1254 - improvements in SSL code nonblocking operation, possible hang solved,
1255 some SSL operations broken down into pollable states so there is
1256 no library blocking, timeout coverage for SSL_connect
1257
1258 - extpoll test server merged into single test server source
1259
1260 - robustness: library should deal with all recoverable socket conditions
1261
1262 - rx flowcontrol for backpressure notification fixed and implmeneted
1263 correctly in the test server
1264
1265 - optimal lexical parser added for header processing; all headers in a
1266 single 276-byte state table
1267
1268 - latency tracking api added (configure --with-latency)
1269
1270 - Improved in-tree documentation, REAME.build, README.coding,
1271 README.test-apps, changelog
1272
1273 - Many small fixes
1274
1275
1276v1.0-chrome25-firefox17 (6cd1ea9b005933f)
