- Remove the edge trigger io hacks we had in place.
- Use level triggered io for the libcurl fds instead.
- Batch all curl events together and process them at the end
of our worker event loop.
Changes kore_curl_init() to take a flag parameter, much like pgsql api
in which you specify KORE_CURL_ASYNC or KORE_CURL_SYNC.
If KORE_CURL_ASYNC is specified, Kore will behave as before.
If Kore_CURL_SYNC is specified, Kore will execute the libcurl immediately
and return once it has been completed.
In case libcurl instructs us to call the timeout function as soon
as possible (timeout == 0 in curl_timeout), don't try to be clever
with a timeout value of 10ms.
Instead call the timeout function once we get back in the worker
event loop. This makes things a lot snappier as we don't depend
on epoll/kqueue waiting for io for 10ms (which actually isn't 10ms...).
Introduce kore_curl_strerror(), use this in kore_curl_logerror()
instead of assuming our errbuf has been populated.
Also use it in the python httpclient when throwing an exception rather
then looking at the errbuf member which may or may not be empty.
This commit adds the CURL=1 build option. When enabled allows
you to schedule CURL easy handles onto the Kore event loop.
It also adds an easy to use HTTP client API that abstracts away the
settings required from libcurl to make HTTP requests.
Tied together with HTTP request state machines this means you can
write fully asynchronous HTTP client requests in an easy way.
Additionally this exposes that API to the Python code as well
allowing you do to things like:
client = kore.httpclient("https://kore.io")
status, body = await client.get()
Introduces 2 configuration options:
- curl_recv_max
Max incoming bytes for a response.
- curl_timeout
Timeout in seconds before a transfer is cancelled.
This API also allows you to take the CURL easy handle and send emails
with it, run FTP, etc. All asynchronously.
