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 Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +080020Changes
21-------
22
231) MINOR test-server gained some new switches
24
25 -C <file> use external SSL cert file
26 -K <file> use external SSL key file
27 -A <file> use external SSL CA cert file
28
29 -u <uid> set effective uid
30 -g <gid> set effective gid
31
32together you can use them like this to have the test-server work with the
33usual purchased SSL certs from an official CA.
34
35 --ssl -C your.crt -K your.key -A your.cer -u 99 -g 99
36
372) MINOR the OpenSSL magic to setup ECDH cipher usage is implemented in the
38library, and the ciphers restricted to use ECDH only.
39Using this, the lws test server can score an A at SSLLABS test
40
413) MINOR STS (SSL always) header is added to the test server if you use --ssl. With
42that, we score A+ at SSLLABS test
43
444) MINOR daemonize function (disabled at cmake by default) is updated to work
45with systemd
46
475) MINOR example systemd .service file now provided for test server
48(not installed by default)
49
Andy Green0ad1a6e2016-02-20 14:05:55 +0800506) test server html is updated with tabs and a new live server monitoring
51feature. Input sanitization added to the js.

Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080053User API additions
54------------------
55
Andy Green0c3cc2e2016-02-20 09:12:52 +0800561) MINOR APIBREAK There's a new member in struct lws_context_creation_info, ecdh_curve,
Andy Greend7fddad2016-02-18 20:36:55 +080057which lets you set the name of the ECDH curve OpenSSL should use. By
58default (if you leave ecdh_curve NULL) it will use "prime256v1"
59
Andy Green51d9afa2016-02-24 11:05:56 +0800602) MINOR NEWAPI It was already possible to adopt a foreign socket that had not
61been read from using lws_adopt_socket() since v1.7. Now you can adopt a
62partially-used socket if you don't need SSL, by passing it what you read
63so it can drain that before reading from the socket.
64
65LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN struct lws *
66lws_adopt_socket_readbuf(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd,
67 const char *readbuf, size_t len);

72
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +080073Extension Changes
74-----------------
75
761) There is now a "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692 implementation. It's very
77similar to "deflate-frame" we have offered for a long while; deflate-frame is
78now provided as an alias of permessage-deflate.
79
80The main differences are that the new permessage-deflate implementation:
81
82 - properly performs streaming respecting input and output buffer limits. The
83 old deflate-frame implementation could only work on complete deflate input
84 and produce complete inflate output for each frame. The new implementation
85 only mallocs buffers at initialization.
86
87 - goes around the event loop after each input package is processed allowing
88 interleaved output processing. The RX flow control api can be used to
89 force compressed input processing to match the rate of compressed output
90 processing (test--echo shows an example of how to do this).
91
92 - when being "deflate-frame" for compatibility he uses the same default zlib
93 settings as the old "deflate-frame", but instead of exponentially increasing
94 malloc allocations until the whole output will fit, he observes the default
95 input and output chunking buffer sizes of "permessage-deflate", that's
96 1024 in and 1024 out at a time.
97
982) deflate-stream has been disabled for many versions (for over a year) and is
99now removed. Browsers are now standardizing on "permessage-deflate" / RFC7692
100
1013) struct lws_extension is simplified, and lws extensions now have a public
102api (their callback) for use in user code to compose extensions and options
103the user code wants. lws_get_internal_exts() is deprecated but kept around
104as a NOP. The changes allow one extension implementation to go by different
105names and allows the user client code to control option offers per-ext.
106
107The test client and server are updated to use the new way. If you use
108the old way it should still work, but extensions will be disabled until you
109update your code.
110
111Extensions are now responsible for allocating and per-instance private struct
112at instance construction time and freeing it when the instance is destroyed.
113Not needing to know the size means the extension's struct can be opaque
114to user code.
115
116
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800117User api additions
118------------------
119
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +08001201) The info struct gained three new members
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800121
122 - max_http_header_data: 0 for default (1024) or set the maximum amount of known
123 http header payload that lws can deal with. Payload in unknown http
124 headers is dropped silently. If for some reason you need to send huge
125 cookies or other HTTP-level headers, you can now increase this at context-
126 creation time.
127
128 - max_http_header_pool: 0 for default (16) or set the maximum amount of http
129 headers that can be tracked by lws in this context. For the server, if
130 the header pool is completely in use then accepts on the listen socket
131 are disabled until one becomes free. For the client, if you simultaneously
132 have pending connects for more than this number of client connections,
133 additional connects will fail until some of the pending connections timeout
134 or complete.
135
Andy Green200a6a22016-02-15 20:36:02 +0800136 - timeout_secs: 0 for default (currently 20s), or set the library's
137 network activity timeout to the given number of seconds
138
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800139HTTP header processing in lws only exists until just after the first main
140callback after the HTTP handshake... for ws connections that is ESTABLISHED and
141for HTTP connections the HTTP callback.
142
143So these settings are not related to the maximum number of simultaneous
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800144connections, but the number of HTTP handshakes that may be expected or ongoing,
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800145or have just completed, at one time. The reason it's useful is it changes the
146memory allocation for header processing to be one-time at context creation
147instead of every time there is a new connection, and gives you control over
148the peak allocation.
149
150Setting max_http_header_pool to 1 is fine it will just queue incoming
151connections before the accept as necessary, you can still have as many
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800152simultaneous post-header connections as you like. Since the http header
153processing is completed and the allocation released after ESTABLISHED or the
154HTTP callback, even with a pool of 1 many connections can be handled rapidly.
155
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +08001562) There is a new callback that allows the user code to get acccess to the
157optional close code + aux data that may have been sent by the peer.
158
159LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
160 The peer has sent an unsolicited Close WS packet. @in and
161 @len are the optional close code (first 2 bytes, network
162 order) and the optional additional information which is not
163 defined in the standard, and may be a string or non-human-
164 readble data.
165 If you return 0 lws will echo the close and then close the
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800166 connection. If you return nonzero lws will just close the
167 connection.
Andy Green066a7a12015-12-26 15:47:06 +0800168
169As usual not handling it does the right thing, if you're not interested in it
170just ignore it.
171
172The test server has "open and close" testing buttons at the bottom, if you
173open and close that connection, on close it will send a close code 3000 decimal
174and the string "Bye!" as the aux data.
175
176The test server dumb-increment callback handles this callback reason and prints
177
178lwsts[15714]: LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE: len 6
179lwsts[15714]: 0: 0x0B
180lwsts[15714]: 1: 0xB8
181lwsts[15714]: 2: 0x42
182lwsts[15714]: 3: 0x79
183lwsts[15714]: 4: 0x65
184lwsts[15714]: 5: 0x21
185
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08001863) There is a new API to allow the user code to control the content of the
187close frame sent when about to return nonzero from the user callback to
188indicate the connection should close.
189
190/**
191 * lws_close_reason - Set reason and aux data to send with Close packet
192 * If you are going to return nonzero from the callback
193 * requesting the connection to close, you can optionally
194 * call this to set the reason the peer will be told if
195 * possible.
196 *
197 * @wsi: The websocket connection to set the close reason on
198 * @status: A valid close status from websocket standard
199 * @buf: NULL or buffer containing up to 124 bytes of auxiliary data
200 * @len: Length of data in @buf to send
201 */
202LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void
203lws_close_reason(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_close_status status,
204 unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
205
206An extra button is added to the "open and close" test server page that requests
207that the test server close the connection from his end.
208
209The test server code will do so by
210
211 lws_close_reason(wsi, LWS_CLOSE_STATUS_GOINGAWAY,
212 (unsigned char *)"seeya", 5);
213 return -1;
214
215The browser shows the close code and reason he received
216
217websocket connection CLOSED, code: 1001, reason: seeya
218
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002194) There's a new context creation time option flag
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +0800220
221LWS_SERVER_OPTION_VALIDATE_UTF8
222
223if you set it in info->options, then TEXT and CLOSE frames will get checked to
224confirm that they contain valid UTF-8. If they don't, the connection will get
225closed by lws.
226
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +08002275) ECDH Certs are now supported. Enable the CMake option
228
229cmake .. -DLWS_SSL_SERVER_WITH_ECDH_CERT=1
230
231**and** the info->options flag
232
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +0800233LWS_SERVER_OPTION_SSL_ECDH
Vijay Khurdiyae73d4462016-01-15 16:21:51 +0800234
235to build in support and select it at runtime.
236
Andy Greenff696482016-02-17 07:46:27 +08002376) There's a new api lws_parse_uri() that simplifies chopping up
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800238https://xxx:yyy/zzz uris into parts nicely. The test client now uses this
Andy Greend3a55052016-01-19 03:34:24 +0800239to allow proper uris as well as the old address style.
240
2417) SMP support is integrated into LWS without any internal threading. It's
242very simple to use, libwebsockets-test-server-pthread shows how to do it,
243use -j <n> argument there to control the number of service threads up to 32.
244
245Two new members are added to the info struct
246
247 unsigned int count_threads;
248 unsigned int fd_limit_per_thread;
249
250leave them at the default 0 to get the normal singlethreaded service loop.
251
252Set count_threads to n to tell lws you will have n simultaneous service threads
253operating on the context.
254
255There is still a single listen socket on one port, no matter how many
256service threads.
257
258When a connection is made, it is accepted by the service thread with the least
259connections active to perform load balancing.
260
261The user code is responsible for spawning n threads running the service loop
262associated to a specific tsi (Thread Service Index, 0 .. n - 1). See
263the libwebsockets-test-server-pthread for how to do.
264
265If you leave fd_limit_per_thread at 0, then the process limit of fds is shared
266between the service threads; if you process was allowed 1024 fds overall then
267each thread is limited to 1024 / n.
268
269You can set fd_limit_per_thread to a nonzero number to control this manually, eg
270the overall supported fd limit is less than the process allowance.
271
272You can control the context basic data allocation for multithreading from Cmake
273using -DLWS_MAX_SMP=, if not given it's set to 32. The serv_buf allocation
274for the threads (currently 4096) is made at runtime only for active threads.
275
276Because lws will limit the requested number of actual threads supported
277according to LWS_MAX_SMP, there is an api lws_get_count_threads(context) to
278discover how many threads were actually allowed when the context was created.
279
280It's required to implement locking in the user code in the same way that
281libwebsockets-test-server-pthread does it, for the FD locking callbacks.
282
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +0800283If LWS_MAX_SMP=1, then there is no code related to pthreads compiled in the
284library. If more than 1, a small amount of pthread mutex code is built into
285the library.
Andy Green809d69a2016-01-14 11:37:56 +0800286
Andy Greenba119e92016-01-26 21:40:32 +08002878) New API
288
289LWS_VISIBLE struct lws *
290lws_adopt_socket(struct lws_context *context, lws_sockfd_type accept_fd)
291
292allows foreign sockets accepted by non-lws code to be adopted by lws as if they
293had just been accepted by lws' own listen socket.
Andy Green3df58002015-12-25 12:44:12 +0800294
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08002959) X-Real-IP: header has been added as WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_X_REAL_IP
296
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +080029710) Libuv support is added, there are new related user apis
298

Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800316User api changes
317----------------
318
3191) LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is now 0 and deprecated. You can remove it; if
320you still use it, obviously it does nothing. Old binary code with nonzero
321LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING is perfectly compatible, the old code just
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800322allocated a buffer bigger than the library is going to use.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800323
Andy Green5b85e392015-12-26 13:23:11 +0800324The example apps no longer use LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800325
Andy Green4e2ac762015-12-26 20:26:11 +0800326The only path who made use of it was sending with LWS_WRITE_CLOSE --->
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800327
Andy Green1fb95e82015-12-26 17:20:34 +08003282) Because of lws_close_reason() formalizing handling close frames,
329LWS_WRITE_CLOSE is removed from libwebsockets.h. It was only of use to send
330close frames...close frame content should be managed using lws_close_reason()
331now.
332
Andy Green44a7f652015-12-29 11:20:09 +08003333) We check for invalid CLOSE codes and complain about protocol violation in
334our close code. But it changes little since we were in the middle of closing
335anyway.
336
3374) zero-length RX frames and zero length TX frames are now allowed.
338
3395) Pings and close used to be limited to 124 bytes, the correct limit is 125
340so that is now also allowed.
Andy Green3246ebb2015-12-26 12:03:06 +0800341
Steffen Vogelf9267172016-02-09 07:19:15 +01003426) LWS_PRE is provided as a synonym for LWS_SEND_BUFFER_PRE_PADDING, either is
Andy Green67112662016-01-11 11:34:01 +0800343valid to use now.
344
3457) There's generic support for RFC7462 style extension options built into the
346library now. As a consequence, a field "options" is added to lws_extension.
347It can be NULL if there are no options on the extension. Extension internal
348info is part of the public abi because extensions may be implemented outside
349the library.
350
Danomi Czaski4e9c7f32016-01-28 09:40:53 +08003518) WSI_TOKEN_PROXY enum was accidentally defined to collide with another token
352of value 73. That's now corrected and WSI_TOKEN_PROXY moved to his own place at
35377.
354
Andy Green86ed65f2016-02-14 09:27:41 +08003559) With the addition of libuv support, libev is not the only event loop
356library in town and his api names must be elaborated with _ev_
357
358 Callback typedef: lws_signal_cb ---> lws_ev_signal_cb_t
359 lws_sigint_cfg --> lws_ev_sigint_cfg
360 lws_initloop --> lws_ev_initloop
361 lws_sigint_cb --> lws_ev_sigint_cb
362
36310) Libev support is made compatible with multithreaded service,
364lws_ev_initloop (was lws_initloop) gets an extra argument for the
365thread service index (use 0 if you will just have 1 service thread).

372=======================
373
374Major API improvements
375----------------------
376
377v1.6.0 has many cleanups and improvements in the API. Although at first it
378looks pretty drastic, user code will only need four actions to update it.
379
380 - Do the three search/replaces in your user code, /libwebsocket_/lws_/,
381 /libwebsockets_/lws_/, and /struct\ libwebsocket/struct\ lws/
382
383 - Remove the context parameter from your user callbacks
384
385 - Remove context as the first parameter from the "Eleven APIS" listed in the
386 User Api Changes section
387
388 - Add lws_get_context(wsi) as the first parameter on the "Three APIS" listed
389 in the User Api Changes section, and anywhere else you still need context
390
391That's it... generally only a handful of the 14 affected APIs are actually in
392use in your user code and you can find them quickest by compiling and visiting
393the errors each in turn. And the end results are much cleaner, more
394predictable and maintainable.
395
396
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800397User api additions
398------------------
399
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004001) lws now exposes his internal platform file abstraction in a way that can be
Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800401both used by user code to make it platform-agnostic, and be overridden or
402subclassed by user code. This allows things like handling the URI "directory
403space" as a virtual filesystem that may or may not be backed by a regular
404filesystem. One example use is serving files from inside large compressed
405archive storage without having to unpack anything except the file being
406requested.
407
408The test server shows how to use it, basically the platform-specific part of
409lws prepares a file operations structure that lives in the lws context.
410
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800411Helpers are provided to also leverage these platform-independent file handling

Andy Green4e442b72015-12-10 07:58:58 +0800430
431The user code can also override or subclass the file operations, to either
432wrap or replace them. An example is shown in test server.
433
Andy Green3f599962015-12-14 07:21:42 +0800434A wsi can be associated with the file activity, allowing per-connection
435authentication and state to be used when interpreting the file request.
436
Andy Green3f628702015-12-14 07:16:32 +08004372) A new API void * lws_wsi_user(struct lws *wsi) lets you get the pointer to
438the user data associated with the wsi, just from the wsi.
439
Andy Green9e8d1482015-12-18 11:01:03 +08004403) URI argument handling. Libwebsockets parses and protects URI arguments
441like test.html?arg1=1&arg2=2, it decodes %xx uriencoding format and reduces
442path attacks like ../.../../etc/passwd so they cannot go behind the web
443server's /. There is a list of confirmed attacks we're proof against in
444./test-server/attack.sh.
445
446There is a new API lws_hdr_copy_fragment that should be used now to access
447the URI arguments (it returns the fragments length)
448
449 while (lws_hdr_copy_fragment(wsi, buf, sizeof(buf),
450 WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_URI_ARGS, n) > 0) {
451 lwsl_info("URI Arg %d: %s\n", ++n, buf);
452 }
453
454For the example above, calling with n=0 will return "arg1=1" and n=1 "arg2=2".
455All legal uriencodings will have been reduced in those strings.
456
457lws_hdr_copy_fragment() returns the length of the x=y fragment, so it's also
458possible to deal with arguments containing %00. If you don't care about that,
459the returned string has '\0' appended to simplify processing.

463----------------
464
Andy Green1a366bf2015-12-14 07:02:51 +08004651) Three APIS
466
467 - lws_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
468 - lws_callback_all_protocol(const struct lws_protocols *protocol)
469 - lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol)
470
471Now take an additional pointer to the lws_context in their first argument.
472
473The reason for this change is struct lws_protocols has been changed to remove
474members that lws used for private storage: so the protocols struct in now
475truly const and may be reused serially or simultaneously by different contexts.
476
Andy Green11c05bf2015-12-16 18:19:08 +08004772) Eleven APIs

5454) context parameter removed from user callback.
546
547Since almost all apis no longer need the context as a parameter, it's no longer
548provided at the user callback directly.
549
550However if you need it, for ALL callbacks wsi is valid and has a valid context
Andy Green6d645392015-12-17 18:25:25 +0800551pointer you can recover using lws_get_context(wsi).

573User api additions
574------------------
575
576There's a new member in the info struct used to control context creation,
577ssl_private_key_password, which allows passing into lws the passphrase on
578an SSL cetificate
579
Andy Greeneabed8d2014-08-11 12:11:36 +0800580There's a new member in struct protocols, id, which is ignored by lws but can
581be used by the user code to mark the selected protocol by user-defined version
582or capabliity flag information, for the case multiple versions of a protocol are
583supported.
584
Andy Greenb128ccc2014-08-16 09:54:27 +0800585int lws_is_ssl(wsi) added to allow user code to know if the connection was made
586over ssl or not. If LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT is used, both
587ssl and non-ssl connections are possible and may need to be treated differently
588in the user code.
589
Andy Green14425ea2014-08-18 22:49:39 +0800590int lws_partial_buffered(wsi) added... should be checked after any
591libwebsocket_write that will be followed by another libwebsocket_write inside
592the same writeable callback. If set, you can't do any more writes until the
593writeable callback is called again. If you only do one write per writeable callback,
594you can ignore this.
595
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800596HTTP2-related: HTTP2 changes how headers are handled, lws now has new version-
597agnositic header creation APIs. These do the right thing depending on each
598connection's HTTP version without the user code having to know or care, except
599to make sure to use the new APIs for headers (test-server is updated to use
600them already, so look there for examples)
601
602The APIs "render" the headers into a user-provided buffer and bump *p as it
603is used. If *p reaches end, then the APIs return nonzero for error.
604
605LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int
606lws_add_http_header_status(struct libwebsocket_context *context,
607 struct libwebsocket *wsi,

638 int length,
639 unsigned char **p,

641
642Add a header by using a lws token as the name part. In HTTP2, this can be
643compressed to one or two bytes.

Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800646User api removal
647----------------
648
649protocols struct member no_buffer_all_partial_tx is removed. Under some
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200650conditions like rewriting extension such as compression in use, the built-in
Andy Green822241c2014-08-18 22:21:51 +0800651partial send buffering is the only way to deal with the problem, so turning
652it off is deprecated.
653
654
Andy Green917f43a2014-10-12 14:31:47 +0800655User api changes
656----------------
657
658HTTP2-related: API libwebsockets_serve_http_file() takes an extra parameter at
659the end now
660
661int other_headers_len)
662
663If you are providing other headers, they must be generated using the new
664HTTP-version-agnostic APIs, and you must provide the length of them using this
665additional parameter.
666
joseph.urciuoli4d9c8fc2014-10-16 08:53:19 +0800667struct lws_context_creation_info now has an additional member
668SSL_CTX *provided_client_ssl_ctx you may set to an externally-initialized
669SSL_CTX managed outside lws. Defaulting to zero keeps the existing behaviour of
670lws managing the context, if you memset the struct to 0 or have as a filescope
671initialized struct in bss, no need to change anything.

736------------------
737
738POST method is supported
739
740The protocol 0 / HTTP callback can now get two new kinds of callback,
741LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY (in and len are a chunk of the body of the HTTP request)
742and LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_BODY_COMPLETION (the expected amount of body has arrived
743and been passed to the user code already). These callbacks are used with the
744post method (see the test server for details).
745
746The period between the HTTP header completion and the completion of the body
747processing is protected by a 5s timeout.
748
749The chunks are stored in a malloc'd buffer of size protocols[0].rx_buffer_size.
750
751
James Devine5b34c972013-12-14 11:41:29 +0800752New server option you can enable from user code
753LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT allows non-SSL connections to
754also be accepted on an SSL listening port. It's disabled unless you enable
755it explicitly.
756
757
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800758Two new callbacks are added in protocols[0] that are optional for allowing
759limited thread access to libwebsockets, LWS_CALLBACK_LOCK_POLL and
760LWS_CALLBACK_UNLOCK_POLL.
761
762If you use them, they protect internal and external poll list changes, but if
763you want to use external thread access to libwebsocket_callback_on_writable()
764you have to implement your locking here even if you don't use external
765poll support.
766
767If you will use another thread for this, take a lot of care about managing
768your list of live wsi by doing it from ESTABLISHED and CLOSED callbacks
769(with your own locking).
770
Andrew Canaday9769f4f2014-03-23 13:25:07 +0800771If you configure cmake with -DLWS_WITH_LIBEV=1 then the code allowing the libev
772eventloop instead of the default poll() one will also be compiled in. But to
773use it, you must also set the LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBEV flag on the context
774creation info struct options member.
Andy Green7a132792013-12-18 09:48:26 +0800775
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800776IPV6 is supported and enabled by default except for Windows, you can disable
777the support at build-time by giving -DLWS_IPV6=, and disable use of it even if
James Devine3f13ea22014-03-24 16:09:25 +0800778compiled in by making sure the flag LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_IPV6 is set on
779the context creation info struct options member.
780
Andy Greenc1fdd102014-07-06 09:56:11 +0800781You can give LWS_SERVER_OPTION_DISABLE_OS_CA_CERTS option flag to
782guarantee the OS CAs will not be used, even if that support was selected at
783build-time.
784
785Optional "token limits" may be enforced by setting the member "token_limits"
786in struct lws_context_creation_info to point to a struct lws_token_limits.
787NULL means no token limits used for compatibility.

791----------------
792
793Extra optional argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file() allows injecion
794of HTTP headers into the canned response. Eg, cookies may be added like
795that without getting involved in having to send the header by hand.
796
Patrick Gansterer148b9452014-02-28 02:31:23 +0100797A new info member http_proxy_address may be used at context creation time to
798set the http proxy. If non-NULL, it overrides http_proxy environment var.

Andy Greend2ec7ad2014-03-15 10:39:29 +0800800Cmake supports LWS_SSL_CLIENT_USE_OS_CA_CERTS defaulting to on, which gets
801the client to use the OS CA Roots. If you're worried somebody with the
802ability to forge for force creation of a client cert from the root CA in
803your OS, you should disable this since your selfsigned $0 cert is a lot safer
804then...

861User api additions
862------------------
863
864 - You can now call libwebsocket_callback_on_writable() on http connectons,
865 and get a LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_WRITEABLE callback, the same way you can
866 regulate writes with a websocket protocol connection.
867
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800868 - A new member in the context creation parameter struct "ssl_cipher_list" is
869 added, replacing CIPHERS_LIST_STRING. NULL means use the ssl library
870 default list of ciphers.
871
Andy Green58f214e2013-03-09 13:03:53 +0800872 - Not really an api addition, but libwebsocket_service_fd() will now zero
873 the revents field of the pollfd it was called with if it handled the
874 descriptor. So you can tell if it is a non-lws fd by checking revents
875 after the service call... if it's still nonzero, the descriptor
876 belongs to you and you need to take care of it.
877
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800878 - libwebsocket_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol(protocol) will unthrottle all
879 connections with the established protocol. It's designed to be
880 called from user server code when it sees it can accept more input
881 and may have throttled connections using the server rx flow apis
882 while it was unable to accept any other input The user server code
883 then does not have to try to track while connections it choked, this
884 will free up all of them in one call.
885
Andy Green0c9563b2013-06-10 22:54:40 +0800886 - there's a new, optional callback LWS_CALLBACK_CLOSED_HTTP which gets
887 called when an HTTP protocol socket closes
888
Andy Green96d48fd2013-09-18 08:32:55 +0800889 - for LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION callback, the user_space alloc
890 has already been done before the callback happens. That means we can
891 use the user parameter to the callback to contain the user pointer, and
892 move the protocol name to the "in" parameter. The docs for this
893 callback are also updated to reflect how to check headers in there.
894
Andy Green5dc62ea2013-09-20 20:26:12 +0800895 - libwebsocket_client_connect() is now properly nonblocking and async. See
896 README.coding and test-client.c for information on the callbacks you
897 can rely on controlling the async connection period with.
898
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800899 - if your OS does not support the http_proxy environment variable convention
900 (eg, reportedly OSX), you can use a new api libwebsocket_set_proxy()
Peter Pentchevbb085da2015-12-03 15:55:11 +0200901 to set the proxy details in between context creation and the connection
Andy Green81877e62013-10-26 20:36:08 +0800902 action. For OSes that support http_proxy, that's used automatically.
Andy Greenb55451c2013-03-16 12:32:27 +0800903
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800904User api changes
905----------------
906
907 - the external poll callbacks now get the socket descriptor coming from the
908 "in" parameter. The user parameter provides the user_space for the
909 wsi as it normally does on the other callbacks.
Edwin van den Oetelaar8c8a8e12013-02-20 20:56:59 +0800910 LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION also has the socket descriptor
911 delivered by @in now instead of @user.
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800912
Andy Greenfc7c5e42013-02-23 10:50:10 +0800913 - libwebsocket_write() now returns -1 for error, or the amount of data
914 actually accepted for send. Under load, the OS may signal it is
915 ready to send new data on the socket, but have only a restricted
916 amount of memory to buffer the packet compared to usual.
917
Andy Green50097dd2013-02-15 22:36:30 +0800918
Andy Greendc914cf2013-02-18 16:54:26 +0800919User api removal
920----------------
921
922 - libwebsocket_ensure_user_space() is removed from the public api, if you
923 were using it to get user_space, you need to adapt your code to only
924 use user_space inside the user callback.
925
Andy Green2672fb22013-02-22 09:54:35 +0800926 - CIPHERS_LIST_STRING is removed
927
Andy Green0097a992013-03-09 13:06:37 +0800928 - autotools build has been removed. See README.build for info on how to
929 use CMake for your platform
930
Andy Green54cb3462013-02-14 22:23:54 +0800931
Andy Green53a46782013-02-14 11:23:49 +0800932v1.21-chrome26-firefox18
933========================
934
935 - Fixes buffer overflow bug in max frame size handling if you used the
936 default protocol buffer size. If you declared rx_buffer_size in your
937 protocol, which is recommended anyway, your code was unaffected.

989User api additions
990------------------
991
992 - lws_get_library_version() returns a const char * with a string like
993 "1.1 9e7f737", representing the library version from configure.ac
994 and the git HEAD hash the library was built from
995
Andy Greena47865f2013-02-10 09:39:47 +0800996 - TCP Keepalive can now optionally be applied to all lws sockets, on Linux
997 also with controllable timeout, number of probes and probe interval.
998 (On BSD type OS, you can only use system default settings for the
999 timing and retries, although enabling it is supported by setting
1000 ka_time to nonzero, the exact value has no meaning.)
1001 This enables detection of idle connections which are logically okay,
1002 but are in fact dead, due to network connectivity issues at the server,
Andy Greena690cd02013-02-09 12:25:31 +08001003 client, or any intermediary. By default it's not enabled, but you
1004 can enable it by setting a non-zero timeout (in seconds) at the new
1005 ka_time member at context creation time.
1006
Andy Greena7109e62013-02-11 12:05:54 +08001007 - Two new optional user callbacks added, LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_DESTROY which
1008 is called one-time per protocol as the context is being destroyed, and
1009 LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT which is called when the context is created
1010 and the protocols are added, again it's a one-time affair.
1011 This lets you manage per-protocol allocations properly including
1012 cleaning up after yourself when the server goes down.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001013
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001014User api changes
1015----------------
1016
Andy Green1b265272013-02-09 14:01:09 +08001017 - libwebsocket_create_context() has changed from taking a ton of parameters
1018 to just taking a pointer to a struct containing the parameters. The
1019 struct lws_context_creation_info is in libwebsockets.h, the members
1020 are in the same order as when they were parameters to the call
1021 previously. The test apps are all updated accordingly so you can
1022 see example code there.
1023
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001024 - Header tokens are now deleted after the websocket connection is
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001025 established. Not just the header data is saved, but the pointer and
1026 length array is also removed from (union) scope saving several hundred
1027 bytes per connection once it is established
1028
1029 - struct libwebsocket_protocols has a new member rx_buffer_size, this
1030 controls rx buffer size per connection of that protocol now. Sources
1031 for apps built against older versions of the library won't declare
1032 this in their protocols, defaulting it to 0. Zero buffer is legal,
1033 it causes a default buffer to be allocated (currently 4096)
1034
1035 If you want to receive only atomic frames in your user callback, you
1036 should set this to greater than your largest frame size. If a frame
1037 comes that exceeds that, no error occurs but the callback happens as
1038 soon as the buffer limit is reached, and again if it is reached again
1039 or the frame completes. You can detect that has happened by seeing
1040 there is still frame content pending using
1041 libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload()
1042
1043 By correctly setting this, you can save a lot of memory when your
1044 protocol has small frames (see the test server and client sources).
1045
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001046 - LWS_MAX_HEADER_LEN now defaults to 1024 and is the total amount of known
1047 header payload lws can cope with, that includes the GET URL, origin
1048 etc. Headers not understood by lws are ignored and their payload
1049 not included in this.
1050
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001051
1052User api removals
1053-----------------
1054
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001055 - The configuration-time option MAX_USER_RX_BUFFER has been replaced by a
1056 buffer size chosen per-protocol. For compatibility, there's a default
1057 of 4096 rx buffer, but user code should set the appropriate size for
1058 the protocol frames.
1059
1060 - LWS_INITIAL_HDR_ALLOC and LWS_ADDITIONAL_HDR_ALLOC are no longer needed
1061 and have been removed. There's a new header management scheme that
1062 handles them in a much more compact way.
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001063
Andy Green70edd6f2013-02-12 10:15:25 +08001064 - libwebsockets_hangup_on_client() is removed. If you want to close the
1065 connection you must do so from the user callback and by returning
1066 -1 from there.
1067
Andy Green508946c2013-02-12 10:19:08 +08001068 - libwebsocket_close_and_free_session() is now private to the library code
1069 only and not exposed for user code. If you want to close the
1070 connection, you must do so from the user callback by returning -1
1071 from there.
1072
Andy Greened334462013-02-07 21:14:33 +08001073
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001074New features
1075------------
1076
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001077 - Cmake project file added, aimed initially at Windows support: this replaces
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001078 the visual studio project files that were in the tree until now.
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001079
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001080 - CyaSSL now supported in place of OpenSSL (--use-cyassl on configure)
1081
Andy Green9b09dc02013-02-08 12:48:36 +08001082 - PATH_MAX or MAX_PATH no longer needed
Andy Greendf60b0c2013-02-06 19:57:12 +09001083
Andy Green54495112013-02-06 21:10:16 +09001084 - cutomizable frame rx buffer size by protocol
1085
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001086 - optional TCP keepalive so dead peers can be detected, can be enabled at
1087 context-creation time
1088
1089 - valgrind-clean: no SSL or CyaSSL: completely clean. With OpenSSL, 88 bytes
1090 lost at OpenSSL library init and symptomless reports of uninitialized
1091 memory usage... seems to be a known and ignored problem at OpenSSL
1092
Andy Greena3957ef2013-02-11 09:31:43 +08001093 - By default debug is enabled and the library is built for -O0 -g to faclitate
1094 that. Use --disable-debug configure option to build instead with -O4
1095 and no -g (debug info), obviously providing best performance and
1096 reduced binary size.
Andy Green7b405452013-02-01 10:50:15 +08001097
Andy Green895d56d2013-02-11 09:32:53 +08001098 - 1.0 introduced some code to try to not deflate small frames, however this
1099 seems to break when confronted with a mixture of frames above and
1100 below the threshold, so it's removed. Veto the compression extension
1101 in your user callback if you will typically have very small frames.
1102
Andy Green16ab3182013-02-10 18:02:31 +08001103 - There are many memory usage improvements, both a reduction in malloc/
1104 realloc and architectural changes. A websocket connection now
1105 consumes only 296 bytes with SSL or 272 bytes without on x86_64,
1106 during header processing an additional 1262 bytes is allocated in a
1107 single malloc, but is freed when the websocket connection starts.
1108 The RX frame buffer defined by the protocol in user
1109 code is also allocated per connection, this represents the largest
1110 frame you can receive atomically in that protocol.
1111
Andy Greenc3ef0d62013-02-12 10:50:49 +08001112 - On ARM9 build, just http+ws server no extensions or ssl, <12Kbytes .text
1113 and 112 bytes per connection (+1328 only during header processing)
1114

1193user api changes
1194----------------
1195
1196 - libwebsockets_serve_http_file() now takes a context as first argument
1197
1198 - libwebsockets_get_peer_addresses() now takes a context and wsi as first
1199 two arguments
1200
1201
1202user api additions
1203------------------
1204
1205 - lwsl_...() logging apis, default to stderr but retargetable by user code;
1206 may be used also by user code
1207
1208 - lws_set_log_level() set which logging apis are able to emit (defaults to
1209 notice, warn, err severities), optionally set the emit callback
1210
1211 - lwsl_emit_syslog() helper callback emits to syslog
1212
1213 - lws_daemonize() helper code that forks the app into a headless daemon
1214 properly, maintains a lock file with pid in suitable for sysvinit etc to
1215 control lifecycle
1216
1217 - LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION callback added since http file
1218 transfer is now asynchronous (see test server code)
1219
1220 - lws_frame_is_binary() from a wsi pointer, let you know if the received
1221 data was sent in BINARY mode
1222
1223
1224user api removals
1225-----------------
1226
1227 - libwebsockets_fork_service_loop() - no longer supported (had intractable problems)
1228 arrange your code to act from the user callback instead from same
1229 process context as the service loop
1230
1231 - libwebsockets_broadcast() - use libwebsocket_callback_on_writable[_all_protocol]()
1232 instead from same process context as the service loop. See the test apps
1233 for examples.
1234
1235 - x-google-mux() removed until someone wants it
1236
1237 - pre -v13 (ancient) protocol support removed
1238
1239
1240New features
1241------------
1242
1243 - echo test server and client compatible with echo.websocket.org added
1244
1245 - many new configure options (see README.build) to reduce footprint of the
1246 library to what you actually need, eg, --without-client and
1247 --without-server
1248
1249 - http + websocket server can build to as little as 12K .text for ARM
1250
1251 - no more MAX_CLIENTS limitation; adapts to support the max number of fds
1252 allowed to the process by ulimit, defaults to 1024 on Fedora and
1253 Ubuntu. Use ulimit to control this without needing to configure
1254 the library. Code here is smaller and faster.
1255
1256 - adaptive ratio of listen socket to connection socket service allows
1257 good behaviour under Apache ab test load. Tested with thousands
1258 of simultaneous connections
1259
1260 - reduction in per-connection memory footprint by moving to a union to hold
1261 mutually-exclusive state for the connection
1262
1263 - robustness: Out of Memory taken care of for all allocation code now
1264
1265 - internal getifaddrs option if your toolchain lacks it (some uclibc)
1266
1267 - configurable memory limit for deflate operations
1268
1269 - improvements in SSL code nonblocking operation, possible hang solved,
1270 some SSL operations broken down into pollable states so there is
1271 no library blocking, timeout coverage for SSL_connect
1272
1273 - extpoll test server merged into single test server source
1274
1275 - robustness: library should deal with all recoverable socket conditions
1276
1277 - rx flowcontrol for backpressure notification fixed and implmeneted
1278 correctly in the test server
1279
1280 - optimal lexical parser added for header processing; all headers in a
1281 single 276-byte state table
1282
1283 - latency tracking api added (configure --with-latency)
1284
1285 - Improved in-tree documentation, REAME.build, README.coding,
1286 README.test-apps, changelog
1287
1288 - Many small fixes
1289
