* Renamed enable_server_host_verification to enable_server_hostname_verification and added Error::SSLServerHostnameVerification
* Add some Open SSL function calls
* Code cleanup
* Fix#1431
This patch is necessary to build cpp-httplib in Crashpad, itself in
Chromium, using BoringSSL. Details at [1].
The fixes include:
- Library version check: tolerate BoringSSL as an alternative to
OpenSSL 3.
- Don’t call `OPENSSL_thread_stop`, which is not in BoringSSL.
- Use `SSL_get_peer_certificate` (deprecated in OpenSSL 3), the old
name for `SSL_get1_peer_certificate`, because the new name is not in
BoringSSL.
- Call `SSL_set_tlsext_host_name` directly instead of making an
`SSL_ctrl` call that BoringSSL does not support. The feared
-Wold-style-cast warning that occurs when buidling with OpenSSL is
not triggered in BoringSSL.

The test used the hardcoded long value for 64 bit machines even on 32
bit ones, leading to test failures. With this patch the max long length
is obtained using std::numeric_limits<long>::max(). Thanks to q2a3z for
the hint!

Seems to make sense since you might already do this as a package
manager, or an end user might want them anyways.
The locations are just based on standard Linux locations using
GNUInstallDirs, so it should be sane on other machines too.
using lambda expression as Handler in set_error_handler will cause ambiguous.

* Unimportant cleanup of FindBrotli
Some whitespace, removal of an unused var, and add a comment about
the missing version support
* Fix incorrect var in FindBrotli
Not much to say, it was just the wrong one. Not sure how that happened,
maybe a holdover from when I did an overhaul at some point..
* Tiny useless edit to FindBrotli
Just a little tweak to how I was postfixing those -static strings to the
lib names. Mostly pointless..
* Simplify some FindBrotli code
Nothing much, just reducing redundant stuff & a cleanup of a comment.
* Ignore PkgConf in FindBrotli if looking for static
As per the issue mentioned in this comment, static PkgConf support
is broken upstream. After testing, I found it'll just accept shared
even if you try to find static, so I'm merely disabling that feature
for this FindBrotli module.
That said, you can still get the static libs if you have them installed,
but PkgConf will be ignored even if found in favor of a regular
find_library call. Otherwise you'd end up with shared libs even if you
ask for static (with PkgConf installed).
TLDR: actually fail correctly when static libs aren't found when PkgConf
thought they were.
* Reorder cmake docs a bit
Just wanted to group the more related build options together.
Also removed a pointless reference to the old reasoning for the required
min ver since it's 3.14 now anyways.
* Fix outdated cmake comment
We don't use Git to find the version string anymore.
Just updated to match what it's actually used for now.
* Group options and build-tree vars in Cmake
Doesn't really change anything, I just wanted to clean these up a bit.
* Fix how we set HTTPLIB_IS_USING_XXX vars in Cmake
Prevents us acidentally using libs when the user didn't want them
actually used. This could happen if they set the option to OFF but their
own project itself is using the lib, thus we'd find and use it anyways.
Ref #1602 to see an example of this already happening before.
This is merely apply that kind of fix to all 3 of our deps, instead of
just OpenSSL.
* Minor formatting/comment change to Cmake
Pointless, but these things were bothering me..
For very busy servers, the internal jobs queue where accepted
sockets are enqueued can grow without limit.
This is a problem for two reasons:
- queueing too much work causes the server to respond with huge latency,
resulting in repetead timeouts on the clients; it is definitely
better to reject the connection early, so that the client
receives the backpressure signal as soon as the queue is
becoming too large
- the jobs list can eventually cause an out of memory condition
* Fix: Query parameter including query delimiter ('?') not being parsed properly
* Add details::split function with and without m argument to allow split parameters with/without counter
* Revert changes in SplitTest.ParseQueryString
* Fix readability warnings
Did not fix readbility-qualified-auto, will do a separate pull request
* Revert changes where meaning is lost
* Revert some style changes
The exact circumstances when this false positive is triggered are quite
tricky to reproduce, but it happened reproducibly with g++ 13.1 and 13.2 in
a close-source SW I'm working on. The fix even improves performance by a
very tiny bit: There is no need to copy the std::smatch, having a const
reference is enough.
Just as a side note: -Warray-bounds seems to cause trouble in other
projects, too, so e.g. the Linux kernel has disabled since June 2022.

* Fix successful decompress reported as Error::Read
Streams less than 4096 bytes are sometimes reported as failed reads because stream_.avail_in is not reduced to 0. The next iteration of the loop finds `prev_avail_in == strm_.avail_in` and return false. `ret = inflate(...)` returns Z_STREAM_END on the first iteration of the loop indicating that inflate is finished. This fix prevents the second iteration of the loop from failing.
* Fix successful decompress reported as Error::Read
- Add unit tests for raw deflate that illustrates the decompression failure when there are extra trailing bytes
GoogleTest, starting with vesion 1.13.0, requires C++14 to build. This
patch enables C++14 if GoogleTest 1.13.0 or newer is detected when
compiling the tests with Meson, making it possible to use new GTest
versions.
You can find GoogleTest's release notes at
<https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/v1.13.0>.
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.
This makes it possible to configure cpp-httplib on systems where python
isn't available with tools like muon: https://sr.ht/~lattis/muon/

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
of targets required by the test target, so the generation of the
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

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
SSL support is available with `CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT`. `libssl` and `libcrypto` should be linked.
> [!NOTE]
> cpp-httplib currently supports only version 3.0 or later. Please see [this page](https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html) to get more information.
> [!TIP]
> For macOS: cpp-httplib now can use system certs with `CPPHTTPLIB_USE_CERTS_FROM_MACOSX_KEYCHAIN`. `CoreFoundation` and `Security` should be linked with `-framework`.
> 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.

### Default thread pool support
`ThreadPool` is used as a **default** task queue, and the default thread count is 8, or `std::thread::hardware_concurrency()`. You can change it with `CPPHTTPLIB_THREAD_POOL_COUNT`.
`ThreadPool` is used as a default task queue, and the default thread count is set to value from `std::thread::hardware_concurrency()`.
If you want to set the thread count at runtime, there is no convenient way... But here is how.
You can change the thread count by setting `CPPHTTPLIB_THREAD_POOL_COUNT`.
```cpp
svr.new_task_queue = [] { return new ThreadPool(12); };
```
You can also provide an optional parameter to limit the maximum number
of pending requests, i.e. requests `accept()`ed by the listener but
still waiting to be serviced by worker threads.
```cpp
svr.new_task_queue = [] { return new ThreadPool(/*num_threads=*/12, /*max_queued_requests=*/18); };
```
Default limit is 0 (unlimited). Once the limit is reached, the listener
will shutdown the client connection.
### Override the default thread pool with yours
You can supply your own thread pool implementation according to your need.
```cpp
class YourThreadPoolTaskQueue : public TaskQueue {
`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`.
