The size limit makes a lot of sense for the server, as it never has to
accept very large data.
The client, however, can request arbitrary amounts of data with
`listtransactions` on a large wallet.
Fixes#4604.
Split up HTTPReply into HTTPReply and HTTPReplyHeader, so that
the message data can be streamed directly.
Also removes a c_str(), which would have prevented binary
output with NUL characters in it.
After pull #4288, RPC messages indicating errors have a Content-Length unrelated
to their actual contents, rendering bitcoin-cli and curl unable to decode the
reply.
This patch sets the Content-Length field based on the actual content returned.
Additionally, pull #4288 clobbered the error descriptions provided in
ErrorReply, which bitcoin-cli relies upon; this patch moves #4288 http-error
descriptions to an HTTPError method, allowing HTTPReply to pass content on
unchanged.
1) support varying content types
2) support only sending the header
3) properly deliver error message as content, if HTTP error
4) move AcceptedConnection class to header, for wider use
Size specifiers are no longer needed now that we use typesafe tinyformat
for string formatting, instead of the system's sprintf.
No functional changes.
This continues the work in #3735.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
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.
