Before kore needed to be built with NOTLS=1 to be able to do non TLS
connections. This has been like this for years.
It is time to allow non TLS listeners without having to rebuild Kore.
This commit changes your configuration format and will break existing
applications their config.
Configurations now get listener {} contexts:
listen default {
bind 127.0.0.1 8888
}
The above will create a listener on 127.0.0.1, port 8888 that will serve
TLS (still the default).
If you want to turn off TLS on that listener, specify "tls no" in that
context.
Domains now need to be attached to a listener:
Eg:
domain * {
attach default
}
For the Python API this kills kore.bind(), and kore.bind_unix(). They are
replaced with:
kore.listen("name", ip=None, port=None, path=None, tls=True).
Before params get would mean querystring and anything else
would just count toward a www-encoded body.
Now you can prefix the params block with "qs" indicating that
those configured parameters are allowed to occur in the query
string regardless of the method used.
This means you can do something like:
params qs:post /uri {
...
}
to specify what the allowed parameters are in the querystring for
a POST request towards /uri.
inspired by and properly fixes#205.
- Change pools to use mmap() for allocating regions.
- Change kore_malloc() to use pools for commonly sized objects.
(split into multiple of 2 buckets, starting at 8 bytes up to 8192).
- Rename kore_mem_free() to kore_free().
The preallocated pools will hold up to 128K of elements per block size.
In case a larger object is to be allocated kore_malloc() will use
malloc() instead.
Kore applications now get a build.conf which may contain different
build flavors. Each flavor can get its own cflags or ldflags.
This was in parts inspired by #106.
A new cli command has been added:
kore flavor
This command allows you to see all flavors and switch between them.
The kore build command now also takes a -v argument which if given
dumps the used CFLAGS and LDFLAGS out to stdout.
For existing applications the build.conf is automatically generated
next time you run kore build or kore run.
Also fixed a bug in the json_yajl example, sneaky change here.
This commit is a flag day, your old modules will almost certainly
need to be updated in order to build properly with these changes.
Summary of changes:
- Offload HTTP bodies to disk if they are large (inspired by #100).
(disabled by default)
- The http_argument_get* macros now takes an explicit http_request parameter.
- Kore will now throw 404 errors almost immediately after an HTTP request
has come in instead of waiting until all data has arrived.
API changes:
- http_argument_get* macros now require an explicit http_request parameter.
(no more magic invokations).
- http_generic_404() is gone
- http_populate_arguments() is gone
- http_body_bytes() is gone
- http_body_text() is gone
- http_body_read() has been added
- http_populate_post() has been added
- http_populate_get() has been added
- http_file_read() has been added
- http_file_rewind() has been added
- http_file_lookup() no longer takes name, fname, data and len parameters.
- http_file_lookup() now returns a struct http_file pointer.
- http_populate_multipart_form() no longer takes an secondary parameter.
New configuration options:
- http_body_disk_offload:
Number of bytes after which Kore will offload the HTTP body to
disk instead of retaining it in memory. If 0 this feature is
disabled. (Default: 0)
- http_body_disk_path:
The path where Kore will store temporary HTTP body files.
(this directory does not get created if http_body_disk_offload is 0).
New example:
The upload example has been added, demonstrating how to deal with file
uploads from a multipart form.
Add configuration setting tls_version to specify if you
either want TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.0 or both.
The configuration options ssl_cipher and ssl_dhparam
have changed name to tls_cipher and tls_dhparam. There is
no fallback so you might have to update your configs.
Signals Kore to not free any pointer set in req->hdlr_extra.
Useful in certain scenarios where you have data per request
bound to something in memory but do not want to lose it when
the request is freed by Kore.
Set this flag before your handler returns.
