Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
I'm writing some wallet regression tests using -regtest mode, and
need to generate an initial multi-hundred-block chain. Repeatedly
calling setgenerate to generate one block is slow and doesn't
work properly, because block creation happens asynchronously.
This adds two features to setgenerate in -regtest mode:
1) Instead of being interpreted as number of threads to start, the
third argument is the number of blocks to generate.
2) setgenerate will not return until the block creation threads
have created the requested number of blocks.
Based on the proposal, update the help message of rpc methods
- strings arguments are in double quotes rather than square brackets
- numeric arguments have no quotes (and no default value)
- optional parameters are surrounded by round brackets
- json arguments are strings but don't use double quotes
Added 3 sections for the details
- Arguments: lists each argument, it's type, required or not, a default, and a description
- Result: The method result, with json format if applicable, type, and a description
- Examples: examples calls using bitcoin-cli and curl for json rpc call
Problems
- maybe this is too verbose
- lines might be too long
- description are not good or complete
- examples may be too much
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
This required some code movement (what was CWalletTx::AcceptToMemoryPool
doing in main?), and adding a few explicit includes that used to be
implicit through init.h.
- this extends the accepted ciphersuites with TLSv1.2 ones
- also removes !AH, as I could not find documentation on it and the change
did not result in a changed ciphersuite list (checked via openssl
ciphers -v)
- closes#3096 (which also contains more details)
New RPC "ping" command to request ping.
Implemented "pong" message handler.
New "pingtime" field in getpeerinfo, to provide results to user.
New "pingwait" field, to show pings still in flight, to better see newly lagging peers.
There have been several incidents where mainnet experimentation with
raw transactions resulted in insane fees. This is hard to prevent
in the raw transaction api because the inputs may not be known.
Since sending doesn't work if the inputs aren't known, we can catch
it there.
This rejects fees > than 10000 * nMinRelayTxFee or 1 BTC with the
defaults and can be overridden with a bool at the rpc.
Fixes issue#2838; this is a tweaked version of pull#2845 that
should not leak the length of the password and is more generic,
in case we run into other situations where we need
timing-attack-resistant comparisons.
dumpwallet: produce a dump of all keys in a wallet, in a format
compatible with Bitcoin Wallet for Android and Multibit.
importwallet: import such a dump
The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.
- explicitly set the default of all GetBoolArg() calls
- rework getarg_test.cpp and util_tests.cpp to cover this change
- some indentation fixes
- move macdockiconhandler.h include in bitcoin.cpp to the "our headers"
section
This commit decouples the pMiningKey initialization and shutdown from the RPC
threads.
`getwork` and `getblocktemplate` rely on pMiningKey, and can also be ran
from the debug window in the UI even when the RPC server is not running.
Solves issue #2706.
New method in bitcoinrpc: RunLater, that uses a map of deadline
timers to run a function later.
Behavior of walletpassphrase is changed; before, calling
walletpassphrase again before the lock timeout passed
would result in: Error: Wallet is already unlocked.
You would have to call lockwallet before walletpassphrase.
Now: the last walletpassphrase with correct password
wins, and overrides any previous timeout.
Fixes issue# 1961 which was caused by spawning too many threads.
Test plan:
Start with encrypted wallet, password 'foo'
NOTE:
python -c 'import time; print("%d"%time.time())'
... will tell you current unix timestamp.
Try:
walletpassphrase foo 600
getinfo
EXPECT: unlocked_until is about 10 minutes in the future
walletpassphrase foo 1
sleep 2
sendtoaddress mun74Bvba3B1PF2YkrF4NsgcJwHXXh12LF 11
EXPECT: Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first.
walletpassphrase foo 600
walletpassphrase foo 0
getinfo
EXPECT: wallet is locked (unlocked_until is 0)
walletpassphrase foo 10
walletpassphrase foo 600
getinfo
EXPECT: wallet is unlocked until 10 minutes in future
walletpassphrase foo 60
walletpassphrase bar 600
EXPECT: Error, incorrect passphrase
getinfo
EXPECT: wallet still scheduled to lock 60 seconds from first (successful) walletpassphrase
Previously, JSON-RPC clients accessed URI "/", and the JSON-RPC server
did not care about the URI at all, and would accept any URI as valid.
Change the JSON-RPC server to require URI "/" for all current accesses.
This changes enables the addition of future interfaces at different
URIs, such as pull request #1982 which demonstrates HTTP REST wallet
download.
Or, a future, breaking change in JSON-RPC interface could be introduced
by serving JSON-RPC calls from new URI "/v2/".
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
