2016-02-24rpc: Input-from-stdin mode for bitcoin-cliWladimir J. van der Laan
Implements #7442 by adding an option `-stdin` which reads additional arguments from stdin, one per line. For example ```bash echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase echo -e "walletpassphrase\nmysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin ```

2015-09-21rpc: Split option -rpctimeout into -rpcservertimeout and -rpcclienttimeoutWladimir J. van der Laan
The two timeouts for the server and client, are essentially different: - In the case of the server it should be a lower value to avoid clients clogging up connection slots - In the case of the client it should be a high value to accomedate slow responses from the server, for example for slow queries or when the lock is contended Split the options into `-rpcservertimeout` and `-rpcclienttimeout` with respective defaults of 30 and 900.

2015-09-03evhttpd implementationWladimir J. van der Laan
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*. boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with regard to compile-time slowness. - *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism) is used to handle application requests. - *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly HTTP-server-neutral - *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*. Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC mechanisms people may want to use. - *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL paths they want to handle. By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided. What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support. Configuration options: - `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still defaults to 4. - `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new requests will return a 500 Internal Error. - `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a client. - `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
2015-07-13rpc: Implement random-cookie based authenticationWladimir J. van der Laan
When no `-rpcpassword` is specified, use a special 'cookie' file for authentication. This file is generated with random content when the daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Read access to this file controls who can access through RPC. By default this file is stored in the data directory but it be overriden with `-rpccookiefile`. This is similar to Tor CookieAuthentication: see https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en Alternative to #6258. Like that pull, this allows running bitcoind without any manual configuration. However, daemons should ideally never write to their configuration files, so I prefer this solution.

2015-03-10Help messages correctly formatted (79 chars)Luca Venturini
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph in order not to break existing strings in Transifex. The new format works even if the translation of the strings modifies the lenght of the message. Sqashed 6 commits in a single one. Help messages correctly formatted for SVGA text mode (132 chars) Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph in order not to break existing strings in Transifex. The new format should work even if the translation of the strings modifies the lenght of the message. Fix - syntax error Correct formatting for 79 chars Correctly based on C++ functions Removed spare spaces from option strings Fix - syntax error

2014-12-06Disable SSLv3 (in favor of TLS) for the RPC client and server.Gregory Maxwell
TLS is subject to downgrade attacks when SSLv3 is available, and SSLv3 has vulnerabilities. The popular solution is to disable SSLv3. On the web this breaks some tiny number of very old clients. While Bitcoin RPC shouldn't be exposed to the open Internet, it also shouldn't be exposed to really old SSL implementations, so it shouldn't be a major issue for us to disable SSLv3. There is more information on the downgrade attacks and disabling SSLv3 at https://disablessl3.com/ .

2014-11-04Add "warmup mode" for RPC server.Daniel Kraft
Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup initialisations like loading the block index. Until the node is ready, return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup" with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message). This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g., they don't have to start it) but not yet available. It is used in Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.

2014-08-26Split up util.cpp/hWladimir J. van der Laan
Split up util.cpp/h into: - string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach) - money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney) - time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date): - and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing) The latter is basically the environment and OS handling, and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested osinterface). Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.

2014-08-06Remove size limit in RPC client, keep it in serverWladimir J. van der Laan
The size limit makes a lot of sense for the server, as it never has to accept very large data. The client, however, can request arbitrary amounts of data with `listtransactions` on a large wallet. Fixes #4604.

2014-07-07Move ui_interface to bitcoin_server.aWladimir J. van der Laan
There is no need for it in the utility libraries or tools. Put it in init.cpp, and in the tests separately (as they can't link init).
2014-06-25Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cliWladimir J. van der Laan
This commit removes all the unnecessary dependencies (key, core, netbase, sync, ...) from bitcoin-cli. To do this it shards the chain parameters into BaseParams, which contains just the RPC port and data directory (as used by utils and bitcoin-cli) and Params, with the rest.
2014-06-16Remove `using namespace std` from header fileWladimir J. van der Laan
It's considered bad form to import things into the global namespace in a header. Put it in the cpp files where it is needed instead.
2014-06-15Remove cli functionality from bitcoindWladimir J. van der Laan
As it says on the tin. It was deprecated in version 0.9, and at some point it should be removed. Removes the dependency of bitcoind on libbitcoin-cli.a. Move some functions that used to be shared but are now only used in bitcoin-cli.cpp to that file. After this change, an error is printed (and exit code 1 is returned) when the user tries to send RPC commands using bitcoind.

2014-06-11Add `-version` option to get just the versionWladimir J. van der Laan
Adds a `-version` or `--version` option to print just the version of the program for bitcoind, bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-qt. Also make it that `-help` can be used to display the help (as well as existing `--help`). Up to now, `-help` was the only option that didn't work with either one or two dashes.
