Pass HTTP server an interrupt object instead of having it depend on shutdown.h
and global shutdown state.
There is no change in behavior in this commit.
The removed code was intended to catch issues with event_enable_debug_logging which was not available prior to libevent 2.1.1. This is not necessary since the minimum libevent version was bumped to 2.1.8.
Adds the following util units and adds them to libbitcoin_util:
- `util/url.cpp` takes `urlDecode` from `httpserver.cpp`
- `util/error.cpp` takes `TransactionErrorString` from
`node/transaction.cpp` and `AmountHighWarn` and `AmountErrMsg` from
`ui_interface.cpp`
- `util/fees.cpp` takes `StringForFeeReason` and `FeeModeFromString` from `policy/fees.cpp`
- `util/rbf.cpp` takes `SignalsOptInRBF` from `policy/rbf.cpp`
- 'util/validation.cpp` takes `FormatStateMessage` and `strMessageMagic` from 'validation.cpp`

Some trivial maintenance to avoid having to do it again after the 0.17 branch off.
(The scripts to do this are in `./contrib/`)

A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
along with mutex/condvar/bind/etc.
httpserver handles its own interruption, so there's no reason not to use std
threading.
While we're at it, may as well kill the BOOST_FOREACH's as well.
This continues/fixes #6719.
`event_base_loopbreak` was not doing what I expected it to, at least in
libevent 2.0.21.
What I expected was that it sets a timeout, given that no other pending
events it would exit in N seconds. However, what it does was delay the
event loop exit with 10 seconds, even if nothing is pending.
Solve it in a different way: give the event loop thread time to exit
out of itself, and if it doesn't, send loopbreak.
This speeds up the RPC tests a lot, each exit incurred a 10 second
overhead, with this change there should be no shutdown overhead in the
common case and up to two seconds if the event loop is blocking.
As a bonus this breaks dependency on boost::thread_group, as the HTTP
server minds its own offspring.
The two timeouts for the server and client, are essentially different:
- In the case of the server it should be a lower value to avoid clients
clogging up connection slots
- In the case of the client it should be a high value to accomedate slow
responses from the server, for example for slow queries or when the
lock is contended
Split the options into `-rpcservertimeout` and `-rpcclienttimeout` with
respective defaults of 30 and 900.
Split StartHTTPServer into InitHTTPServer and StartHTTPServer to give
clients a window to register their handlers without race conditions.
Thanks @ajweiss for figuring this out.
Implement RPCTimerHandler for Qt RPC console, so that `walletpassphrase`
works with GUI and `-server=0`.
Also simplify HTTPEvent-related code by using boost::function directly.
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
