2015-10-01[Univalue] add univalue over subtreeJonas Schnelli
similar to secp256k1 include and compile univalue over a subtree
2015-09-28Make HTTP server shutdown more gracefulWladimir J. van der Laan
Shutting down the HTTP server currently breaks off all current requests. This can create a race condition with RPC `stop` command, where the calling process never receives confirmation. This change removes the listening sockets on shutdown so that no new requests can come in, but no longer breaks off requests in progress. Meant to fix #6717.
2015-09-03Implement RPCTimerHandler for Qt RPC consoleWladimir J. van der Laan
Implement RPCTimerHandler for Qt RPC console, so that `walletpassphrase` works with GUI and `-server=0`. Also simplify HTTPEvent-related code by using boost::function directly.
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

2015-08-03Make sure LogPrintf strings are line-terminatedWladimir J. van der Laan
Fix the cases where LogPrint[f] was accidentally called without line terminator, which resulted in concatenated log lines. (see e.g. #6492)
2015-07-27rpc: Accept strings in AmountFromValueWladimir J. van der Laan
Accept strings containing decimal values, in addition to bare values. Useful from JSON-RPC implementations where it's not possible to have direct control over the text of numbers (e.g. where numbers are always doubles), and it's still desired to send an exact value. This would allow users to post JSON content with numbers encoded like `{"value": "0.00000001"}` instead of `{"value": 0.00000001}` which some php/python encoders wrap into 1e-8, or worse.

2015-07-18univalue: Avoid unnecessary roundtrip through double for numbersWladimir J. van der Laan
JSON makes no distinction between numbers and reals, and our code doesn't need to do so either. This removes VREAL, as well as its specific post-processing in `UniValue::write`. Non-monetary amounts do not need to be forcibly formatted with 8 decimals, so the extra roundtrip was unnecessary (and potentially loses precision).
2015-07-18rpc: Make ValueFromAmount always return 8 decimalsWladimir J. van der Laan
This is the format that was always returned to JSON clients. The difference was not noticed before, because VREAL values are post-processed by univalue. By implementing the functionality directly it breaks the dependency of rpcserver on utilmoneystr. FormatMoney is now only used for debugging purposes. To test, port over the formatting tests from util_tests.cpp to rpc_tests.cpp.
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.

85ee55b rpc: Remove chain-specific RequireRPCPassword (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
2015-07-10rpc: Accept scientific notation for monetary amounts in JSONWladimir J. van der Laan
Add a function `ParseFixedPoint` that parses numbers according to the JSON number specification and returns a 64-bit integer. Then this in `AmountFromValue`, rather than `ParseMoney`. Also add lots of tests (thanks to @jonasschnelli for some of them). Fixes issue #6297.
2015-07-10rpc: Remove chain-specific RequireRPCPasswordWladimir J. van der Laan
I've never liked the chain-specific exception to having to set a password. It gives issues with #6388 which makes it valid to set no password in every case (as it enables random cookie authentication). This pull removes the flag, so that all chains are regarded the same. It also removes the username==password test, which doesn't provide any substantial extra security.

2015-07-01When processing RPC commands during warmup phase, parse theForrest Voight
request object before returning an error so that id value can be used in the response. Prior to this commit, RPC commands sent during Bitcoin's warmup/startup phase were responded to with a JSON-RPC error with an id of null, which violated the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec: id: This member is REQUIRED. It MUST be the same as the value of the id member in the Request Object. If there was an error in detecting the id in the Request object (e.g. Parse error/Invalid Request), it MUST be Null.

2015-06-06Don't go through double in AmountFromValue and ValueFromAmountWladimir J. van der Laan
My prime gripe with JSON spirit was that monetary values still had to be converted from and to floating point which can cause deviations (see #3759 and https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22716/bitcoind-sendfrom-round-amount-error). As UniValue stores internal values as strings, this is no longer necessary. This avoids risky double-to-integer and integer-to-double conversions completely, and results in more elegant code to boot.

2015-03-24Regression test for ResendWalletTransactionsGavin Andresen
Adds a regression test for the wallet's ResendWalletTransactions function, which uses a new, hidden RPC command "resendwallettransactions." I refactored main's Broadcast signal so it is passed the best-block time, which let me remove a global variable shared between main.cpp and the wallet (nTimeBestReceived). I also manually tested the "rebroadcast unconfirmed every half hour or so" functionality by: 1. Running bitcoind -connect=0.0.0.0:8333 2. Creating a couple of send-to-self transactions 3. Connect to a peer using -addnode 4. Waited a while, monitoring debug.log, until I see: ```2015-03-23 18:48:10 ResendWalletTransactions: rebroadcast 2 unconfirmed transactions``` One last change: don't bother putting ResendWalletTransactions messages in debug.log unless unconfirmed transactions were actually rebroadcast.

2015-02-08Sanitize command strings before logging them.Gregory Maxwell
Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places. This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs, especially with printtoconsole in use. Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.

0cc0d8d Get rid of the internal miner's hashmeter (jtimon)
2015-01-16Restore RPC HTTP keepalives to default.Gregory Maxwell
This avoids a regression for issues like #334 where high speed repeated connections eventually run the HTTP client out of sockets because all of theirs end up in time_wait. Maybe the trade-off here is suboptimal, but if both choices will fail then we prefer fewer changes until the root cause is solved.
2015-01-14Add a -rpckeepalive and disable RPC use of HTTP persistent connections.Gregory Maxwell
It turns out that some miners have been staying with old versions of Bitcoin Core because their software behaves poorly with persistent connections and the Bitcoin Core thread and connection limits. What happens is that underlying HTTP libraries leave connections open invisibly to their users and then the user runs into the default four thread limit. This looks like Bitcoin Core is unresponsive to RPC. There are many things that should be improved in Bitcoin Core's behavior here, e.g. supporting more concurrent connections, not tying up threads for idle connections, disconnecting kept-alive connections when limits are reached, etc. All are fairly big, risky changes. Disabling keep-alive is a simple workaround. It's often not easy to turn off the keep-alive support in the client where it may be buried in some platform library. If you are one of the few who really needs persistent connections you probably know that you want them and can find a switch; while if you don't and the misbehavior is hitting you it is hard to discover the source of your problems is keepalive related. Given that it is best to default to off until they're handled better.
