We log the cleanSubVer as part of connect. It is not uniquely more informative
than any of the other data we have about a peer, often less. It's also often
long now as well. There is no need to output it as part of mempoolrej,
AcceptToMemoryPool, or pong entries. Leaving it out makes our log entries
more uniform and consistent.
This patch changes the way the suffix (giving the requested data format) is
parsed for REST requests. Before, the string was split at '.'
characters and it was assumed that the second part was the suffix.
Now, we look for the last dot and use that to determine the suffix.
This allows for strings that contain dots (not used now, though), and
seems, in general, to be clearer and more intuitive.
Complete rescan is incompatible with pruning, but rescan is optional on
our wallet key import RPCs. Import on use is very useful in some common
situations in conjunction with pruning, e.g. merchant payment tracking.
This reenables importprivkey/importaddress/importpubkey when rescan
is not used.
In the future we should consider changing the rescan argument to allow depth
or date to allow limited rescanning when compatible with the retained
block depth.
Lets nodes advertise that they offer bloom filter support explicitly.
The protocol version bump allows SPV nodes to assume that NODE_BLOOM is
set if NODE_NETWORK is set for pre-70011 nodes.
Also adds an option to turn bloom filter support off for nodes which
advertise a version number >= 70011. Nodes attempting to use bloom
filters on such protocol versions are banned, and a later upgade
should drop nodes of an older version which attempt to use bloom
filters.
Much code stolen from Peter Todd.
Implements BIP 111
`nMinPingUsecTime` was left uninitialized in CNode.
The correct initialization for a minimum-until-now is int64_t's max value, so initialize it to that.
Thanks @MarcoFalke for noticing.
The main effect is to exit processing for recently-rejected hashes,
in case they are pushed to us without prior advertisement. This
behavior was seen in the wild.
An additional effect is to do early checks for mempool or mapOrphan
existence. No logging or nDoS tracking is needed for failures of
these checks.
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
When running the rpc tests in Wine, nodes often fail to listen on localhost
due to a stale socket from a previous run. This aligns the behavior with other
platforms.
Fix https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6558. In particular, stop
parsing JSON after the first object or array is finished. Check that no
other garbage follows, and fail the parser if it does.
Since the introduction of the ScriptForMining callback, the mining
functions (setgenerate and generate) crash with an assertion failure
(due to a NULL pointer script returned) if the keypool is empty. Fix
this by giving a proper error.
