This C++ library is a small framework which creates a full
http(s) server.
This is imported code from the qhttpengine open source project.
I modified some core components in order to make this framework
multi-threading and changed some APIs for cleanlyness. As such
it is not source compatible and getting it accepted upstream is
not realistic.
This adds all the header ints to chunked messages, solving the problem
of losing RequestId on roundtrips if the answer was too big.
Added a unit test for this "new" features.
This makes callbacks all use shared_from_this() in order to avoid
callbacks being done on deleted instances (thanks boost!).
Last, special case when the user doesn't connect but just sends messages
which caused a send of data, only to realize the connection wasn't open,
and then a connect.
This makes sure we immediately start a connect on queue of a message.
When a user sends a signal SIGHUP, we parse the configs again
traditionally on Unix.
We already use this for log-configs.
This signal allows apps to get notification and reload their
own configs.
The "UAHF" one used to be "more equal", mostly just because it happened
to be the first.
This makes them all equally equal.
Specifically this removes the special casing and the enum for the 201708
HF (aka BCH fork-point).
We select the right branch now purely based on the historical check-
points.
The "Greater than 6 blocks" can be off when we are doing IBD where
headers and chain are not pointing to the same block. Make sure this
works for such an occasion as well.
before disconnecting.
As this only applies to IBD, we can take into account that we have a
higher number of connections typically and this helps stability.
A disconnect would cause the socket to close which caused a
callback which triggered a timer to reconnect after half a minute...
This makes sure that after we manually disconnect we honor that.
When a blackbox test fails add the logs from the nodes
into the output of the log itself so they are all in one
place.
Especially handy for CI or docker usage where getting files
is a lot harder than getting standard-out.
The command really only accepts IP addresses, but we use 'localhost' as
an exception to bind to loopback for ipv4 and ipv6 at the same time.
Also improve logging of errors and avoid failing to start the API
service if a bind address wasn't an IP.
