We already detect OpenSSL in our tree for another project, but don't want to
link httplib against OpenSSL or with SSL support.
Allow us to `set(HTTPLIB_IS_USING_OPENSSL FALSE)`.
Removed multiple old-style (C) casts and replaced them with the
appropriate _cast's. This makes httplib a better citizen inside projects
that are compiled with all warnings enabled.
Unfortunately one warning remains as a result of invoking an
OpenSSL macro (at least on Linux), that would have to be fixed
upstream.
Also fixed a few casts for invocations of setsockopt.
setsockopt takes a const void* for the value pointer, not a char*.
Well, except on Windows ...

* SocketStream need to check connectivity for writability.
When the stream is used for SSE server which works via chunked content
provider it's not possible to check connectivity over writability
because it's wrapped by DataSink. It could make the server stalled, when
the provider wants to only keep connection without send data and certain
amount of clients consumes entire threadpool.

Thanks to abf3a67dd0 the use of python3
isn't required anymore to configure the build, so I moved the
find_program('python3') inside the "if compile" block.

Meson only runs required targets. The key_encrypted_pem and
cert_encrypted_pem targets added in 020b0db090
and 8191fd8e6c weren't added to the list

encrypted certs was skipped, resulting in the failure of
BindServerTest.BindAndListenSeparatelySSLEncryptedKey.
* meson: fix regression that broke extracting version
In commit 33f67386fe the code that
heuristically parsed the version broke due to the version being moved
around into a more easily accessible define.
While we are at it, pass the exact path of httplib.h to un-break usage
as a meson subproject. This was broken in commit
8ecdb11979 which checked the return code
of trying to get the version; it was always broken, but formerly failed
in silence and resulted in no version number.
* meson: use the compiler builtins to extract the version from the header
As a convenient string define, it is now possible to ask the
preprocessor what the version of cpp-httplib is. This can be used from
meson too, in order to avoid encoding C++ file structure into python
regexes.
A pkg-config file was previously installed only if cpp-httplib was being
built as a compiled library.
Since architecture-independent .pc files
can exist in /usr/share/pkgconfig, it can be useful to install one even
when installing the header-only version (for example, it could be used
by third party projects to easily find out if cpp-httplib is installed
and its version, using something like Meson's `dependency()` or CMake's
`pkg_check_modules()`).
The change makes the Meson build behave a bit more like the CMake one,
as it also always installs a CMake Config file, but here the pkg-config
file gets installed to the correct architecture-independent directory
(`datadir` represents /usr/share on Linux and simiar systems).
Lastly, I made some minor cleanups.
This change is based on RFC7230, § 3.5 'Message Parsing Robustness': "Although the line terminator for the start-line and header fields is the sequence CRLF, a recipient MAY recognize a single LF as a line terminator and ignore any preceding CR."
* Fix#1041
* Fixed problem with is_socket_alive
* Adjust the way to check if the sockt is still alive.
* Revert "Adjust the way to check if the sockt is still alive."
This reverts commit 6c673b21e5.
* Adjust is_socket_alive according to the code review
* Allow to specify server IP address
* Reimplement in set_hostname_addr_map
* Add tests for set_hostname_addr_map
* Fix tests after implement set_hostname_addr_map
* SpecifyServerIPAddressTest.RealHostname typo
This integrates the "main" test suite (test/test.cc) in Meson.
This allows to run the tests in the CI with the Meson-built version of
the library to ensure that nothing breaks unexpectedly.
It also simplifies life of downstream packagers, that do not have to
write a custom build script to split the library and run tests but can
instead just let Meson do that for them.
* Full Meson support
cpp-httplib can be now built with Meson even in compiled library mode.
The library is built with LTO, supports OpenSSL, zlib and Brotli,
and the build system also generates a pkg-config file when needed.
Compared to the CMake file this one is quite small (more than five times
smaller!), and maintaining it won't be an issue :)
* meson: automatic versioning
In order to test the split version (.h + .cc via split.py):
- Added a test_split program in the test directory whose main purpose is
to verify that it works to compile and link the test case code against
the split httplib.h version.
- Moved types needed for test cases to the “header part” of httplib.h.
Also added forward declarations of functions needed by test cases.
- Added an include_httplib.cc file which is linked together with test.cc
to verify that inline keywords have not been forgotten.
The changes to httplib.h just move code around (or add forward
declarations), with one exception: detail::split and
detail::process_client_socket have been converted to non-template
functions (taking an std::function instead of using a type parameter for
the function) and forward-declared instead. This avoids having to move
the templates to the “header part”.
When using the split version of httplib.h the templated implementation
of e.g. Client::set_connection_timeout ends up in httplib.cc and
therefore results in a linker error since the needed template
specialization has not been instantiated. Fix this by moving the
implementation of template methods into the part that ends up in
httplib.h after the split.
Fixes#1008.
The RedirectToDifferentPort.Redirect test assumes that port 8080 and
8081 are available on localhost. They aren’t on my system so the test
fails. Improve this by binding to available ports instead of hardcoded
ones.
- Added shebang and made the script executable.
- Added help text.
- Added -o/--out argument for specifying output directory.
- Added -e/--extension argument for specifying file extension of the
implementation file.
- Made the script find httplib.h next to split.py instead of the current
working directory. This makes it possible to call the script from
another directory.
- Simplified code structure slightly.
- Improved variable naming to follow Python conventions.
* Add header-only Meson support
This allows users to call `dependency('httplib')` and have the include
directory automatically configured
* Rename `httplib` to `cpp-httplib`
* Fix virtual call in ClientImpl::~ClientImpl()
This fixes a warning in clang tidy:
> Call to virtual method 'ClientImpl::shutdown_ssl' during
> destruction bypasses virtual dispatch
ClientImpl::~ClientImpl() calls lock_socket_and_shutdown_and_close()
that itself calls shutdown_ssl(). However, shutdown_ssl() is virtual
and C++ does not perform virtual dispatch in destructors, which results
in the wrong overload being called.
This change adds a non-virtual shutdown_ssl_impl() function that is
called from ~SSLClient(). We also inline sock_socket_and_shutdown_and_close()
and removes the virtual call in ~ClientImpl().
* Inline and remove lock_socket_and_shutdown_and_close()
The function only has one caller.
* Fix client.cc code, since res.error() without operator overloading causing error in Xcode
* Add unit test to check new error to string with operator overloading
* Add inline as requested in code review comment
* Special function to encode query params
* Fix #include <iomanip>
* Added unescaped charsets to encode_query_param
* Unit tests for encode_query_param
Add unit test for issue #682 fixed in PR #728, which does not contain
the test of its own.
The test creates a fake SSL server, inherited from SSLServer, which
does not create an SSL context. When an SSL client attempts to send it
a request, it gets a timeout error. Prior to PR #728, the client would
wait indefinitely

* ssl-verify-host: fix verifying ip addresses containing zero's
If the subject alternate name contained an ip address with an zero
(like 10.42.0.1) it could not successfully verify.
It is because in c++ strings are null-terminated
and therefore strlen(name) would return a wrong result.
As I can not see why we can not trust the length returned by openssl,
lets drop this check.

SSL connection is performed in two steps:
First, a regular socket connection is established.
Then, SSL_connect/SSL_accept is called to establish SSL handshake.
If a network problem occurs during the second stage, SSL_connect on
the client may hang indefinitely.
The non-blocking mode solves this problem.

Correct the working directory of the execute_process call, to get the version from git tags.
The working directory should be the the directory of this libary. Otherwise, if you include httplib
as a git submodule and call add_subdirectory, the execute_process command will be run in a wrong
directory leading to error.
If you didn't have Git installed, execute_process never declared the
error variable, which led to it never parsing the header for a version.
So if Git wasn't installed, the version variable never got declared,
which caused errors.
This fixes that.
* Update httplib.h
When you disconnect and reconnect from the network, your network stack rewrites and updates /etc/resolv.conf accordingly. This configuration file is needed by the DNS resolver in the C library. The C library reads the DNS configuration from /etc/resolv.conf the first time, and caches it. It doesn't check, with every lookup, if the contents of /etc/resolv.conf have changed.
the solution is to add a call to res_init(), defined in resolv.h
* Update httplib.h
Had to create a custom FindBrotli package, as not all users have
PkgConfig installed (which Brotli uses). This file gets installed
alongside httplibConfig.cmake for the end-users convenience.
Set BROTLI_USE_STATIC_LIBS to ON if you want to find the static libs
instead of default shared.
Adds the HTTPLIB_REQUIRE_BROTLI (default off) and HTTPLIB_USE_BROTLI_IF_AVAILABLE
(default on) options, which work in the same manner as the other optional/required
dependency options.
Moved the scattered linking and definitions to a single call.
Updated some documentation about the new options.
Improved the in-tree support by setting the HTTPLIB_IS_USING_XYZ
variables in the main CMakeLists (as well as having them in the
httplibConfig.cmake file).
Fixes#582
Seems certain targets/hosts failed without these, as "_MSC_VER" is
undefined on MinGW, which caused the 'pragma comment(lib "libname")' to
fail.
Fixes#575
This gets us the full version (aka with the patch version), instead of
just major and minor version from user agent.
Falls back to the user agent if it fails.
It pulls the version from the user-agent string in the header, so it
will not need to be manually adjusted. This version file is installed so
that you can check for a specific version with find_package(httplib)
Also added HTTPLIB_INCLUDE_DIR (root path without header name), and
HTTPLIB_LIBRARY (only if compiled).
Added HTTPLIB_VERSION, and HTTPLIB_FOUND (although it's recommended
to check if the target exists).
Updated CMakeLists documentation for all this.
This option (default OFF) automatically splits the file (with split.py)
into a header & source file, then compiles it as a shared/static
library. This requires an installed Python v3 executable to work.
This also adds a HTTPLIB_IS_COMPILED boolean that's available after a
finfind_package(httplib) call.
Note that the minimum Cmake version increased to 3.12 because of FindPython3.
Hopefully this isn't a problem, as it's already 3 years old at this point.
* Revert "Removed CMakeLists.txt. (Fix#421)"
This reverts commit 8674555b88.
* Fail if cmake version too old
Previous behaviour is just a warning.
* Improve CMakeLists
Adds automatic dependency finding (if they were used).
Adds a way to require a specific version in the find_package(httplib) call.
You should link against the httplib::httplib IMPORTED target, which is
created automatically.
Add options to allow for strictly requiring OpenSSL/ZLIB
HTTPLIB_REQUIRE_OPENSSL & HTTPLIB_REQUIRE_ZLIB require the libs be found, or the build fails.
HTTPLIB_USE_OPENSSL_IF_AVAILABLE & HTTPLIB_USE_ZLIB_IF_AVAILABLE silently search for the libs.
If they aren't found, the build still continues, but shuts off support for those features.
* Add documentation to CMakeLists.txt
Has info on all the available options and what targets are produced.
Also put some things about installation on certain platforms.
In case we want to send a lot of data,
and the receiver is slower than the sender.
This will first fill up the receivers queues and after this
eventually also the senders queues,
until the socket is temporarily unable to accept more data to send.
select_write is done with an timeout of zero,
which makes the select call used always return immediately:
(see http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/select.2.html)
This means that every marginal unavailability will make it return false
for is_writable and therefore httplib will immediately abort the transfer.
Therefore make this values configurable in the same way
as the read timeout already is.
Set the default write timeout to 5 seconds,
the same default value used for the read timeout.
According to RFC 3493 the socket option IPV6_V6ONLY
should be off by default, see
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3493#page-22 (chapter 5.3).
However this does not seem to be the case on all systems.
For instance on any Windows OS, the option is on by default.
Therefore clear this option in order to allow
an server socket which can support IPv6 and IPv4 at the same time.
I use a custom TaskQueue, with variable number of workers, adding workers on demand is an easy task when new connection arrive (in enqueue function) however i need another funtion to be called even (or better) went no new connections arrives to reduce workers count. I only added a new virtual method in TaskQueue class to allow custom class to adjust workers size over time. Even if this methods is called frequenlty custom class can keep a "last_update" counter to check if need to adjust worker count or any other internal task. Without this function i need an external thread to make this adjust task.
* Fixed error:
ULONG_MAX is defined in the limits.h header file. Putting #include <climits>
```
httplib.h: In function ‘bool httplib::detail::read_content_chunked(httplib::Stream&, httplib::ContentReceiver)’:
httplib.h:1921:22: error: ‘ULONG_MAX’ was not declared in this scope
if (chunk_len == ULONG_MAX) { return false; }
^~~~~~~~~
httplib.h:1921:22: note: suggested alternative: ‘_SC_ULONG_MAX’
if (chunk_len == ULONG_MAX) { return false; }
^~~~~~~~~
_SC_ULONG_MAX
```
* Move #include <climits> to after #include <cassert>
We cannot trivially support such large chunks, and the maximum value
std::strtoul can parse accurately is ULONG_MAX-1. Error out early if the
length is longer than that.
detail::read_content_chunked was using std::stoul to parse the
hexadecimal chunk lengths for "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" requests.
This throws an exception if the string does not begin with any valid
digits. read_content_chunked is not called in the context of a try block
so this caused the process to terminate.
Rather than use exceptions, I opted for std::stroul, which is similar to
std::stoul but does not throw exceptions. Since malformed user input is
not particularly exceptional, and some projects are compiled without
exception support, this approach seems both more portable and more
correct.
* SSLServer: add constructor to pass ssl-certificates and key from memory

Previously, calling set_content always resulted in 's' being copied. With this change, there will still be the same number of copies made (1) when doing `set_content(my_value, ...)`, but there will be no copies if a caller elects to do `set_content(std::move(value), ...)` or `set_content(some_function_that_returns_a_temporary(), ...)` instead.
The regex that parses header lines potentially causes an unlimited
amount of backtracking, which can cause an exception in the libc++ regex
engine.
The exception that occurs looks like this and is identical to the
message of the exception fixed in
https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/pull/280:
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type
std::__1::regex_error: The complexity of an attempted match
against a regular expression exceeded a pre-set level.
This commit eliminates the problematic backtracking.
Since the WSA_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_INHERIT is only supported on Windows 7 SP1 and above the socket creation fails on older Windows Systems.

SSL support is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT`. `libssl` and `libcrypto` should be linked.
NOTE: cpp-httplib currently supports only version 1.1.1 and 3.0.
NOTE for macOS: cpp-httplib now can use system certs with `CPPHTTPLIB_USE_CERTS_FROM_MACOSX_KEYCHAIN`. `CoreFoundation` and `Security` should be linked with `-framework`.
NOTE: When using SSL, it seems impossible to avoid SIGPIPE in all cases, since on some operating systems, SIGPIPE can only be suppressed on a per-message basis, but there is no way to make the OpenSSL library do so for its internal communications. If your program needs to avoid being terminated on SIGPIPE, the only fully general way might be to set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE to handle or ignore it yourself.
NOTE: if you don't provide the `catch (...)` block for a rethrown exception pointer, an uncaught exception will end up causing the server crash. Be careful!

`select` system call is used as default since it's more widely supported. If you want to let cpp-httplib use `poll` instead, you can do so with `CPPHTTPLIB_USE_POLL`.
Split httplib.h into .h and .cc
-------------------------------
```bash
> python3 split.py
> ls out
httplib.h httplib.cc
```console
$ ./split.py -h
usage: split.py [-h] [-e EXTENSION] [-o OUT]
This script splits httplib.h into .h and .cc parts.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e EXTENSION, --extension EXTENSION
extension of the implementation file (default: cc)
-o OUT, --out OUT where to write the files (default: out)
$ ./split.py
Wrote out/httplib.h and out/httplib.cc
```
NOTE
----
g++ 4.8 cannot build this library since `<regex>` in g++4.8 is [broken](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12530406/is-gcc-4-8-or-earlier-buggy-about-regular-expressions).
### g++
g++ 4.8 and below cannot build this library since `<regex>` in the versions are [broken](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12530406/is-gcc-4-8-or-earlier-buggy-about-regular-expressions).
### Windows
Include `httplib.h` before `Windows.h` or include `Windows.h` by defining `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` beforehand.
```cpp
#include <httplib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
```
```cpp
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <Windows.h>
#include <httplib.h>
```
NOTE: cpp-httplib officially supports only the latest Visual Studio. It might work with former versions of Visual Studio, but I can no longer verify it. Pull requests are always welcome for the older versions of Visual Studio unless they break the C++11 conformance.
NOTE: Windows 8 or lower, Visual Studio 2013 or lower, and Cygwin on Windows are not supported.
[These folks](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/graphs/contributors) made great contributions to polish this library to totally another level from a simple toy!
