Change internal HTTP JSON-RPC server from single-threaded to
thread-per-connection model. The IP filter list is applied prior to starting
the thread, which then processes the RPC.
A mutex covers the entire RPC operation, because not all RPC operations are
thread-safe.
[minor modifications by jgarzik, to make change upstream-ready]
This is an Object specifying how to decompose specific elements.
Currently supported:
- "tx": "no", "hash", "hex", "obj"
- "script": "no", "hex", "asm"
Previously trying to create a multisig address that required less than
one signature would output something like the following:
"wrong number of keys(got 1, need at least 0)"
Works for wallet transactions, memory-pool transaction and block chain
transactions.
Available for all:
* txid
* version
* locktime
* size
* coinbase/inputs/outputs
* confirmations
Available only for wallet transactions:
* amount
* fee
* details
* blockindex
Available for wallet transactions and block chain transactions:
* blockhash
* time
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be removed.
Do not automatically change the wallet format unless the user takes an
explicit action that implies an upgrade (encrypting, for now), or uses
-walletupgrade.
-walletupgrade optionally takes an integer argument: the client version
up to which upgrading is allowed. Without an argument, it is upgraded
to latest supported version. If an argument to -walletupgrade is
provided at the time the wallet is created, the new wallet will initially
not use features beyond that version.
Third, the current wallet version number is reported in getinfo.
2^31 milliseconds is only about 25 days. Also clamps Sleep() to 10 years,
because it currently sleeps for 0 seconds when the sleep time would cross
2^31 seconds since the epoch. Hopefully boost will be fixed by 2028.
- Add "size" and "bits"
- Rename "blockcount" to "height"
- Rename "hashprevious" and "hashnext" to "previousblockhash" and "nextblockhash" (respectively)
* Fix sign error in calculation of seconds to sleep
* Do not mix GetTime() (seconds) and Sleep() (milliseconds)
* Do not sleep forever if walletlock() is called
* Do locking within critical section
Help users avoid insecure configurations a bit by recommending a
secure RPC password and increasing the incorrect password delay.
This may open up a RPC DOS for users with exposed RPC ports and
short passwords. Since users shouldn't have exposed RPC ports OR
short passwords, the DOS risk is preferable to the compromise
risk.
Also logs the client IP address for incorrect attempts.
base58-encoding of full/compressed public keys needs more thought; it probably makes sense to define a base58 encoding that includes a version byte and a checksum. So just support hex and bitcoin-address encodings for now.
