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.

- I saw this on http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/try_catch and thought it would be a good idea - also unify used format to better be able to search for exception uses in our codebase
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.

2014-10-17Add a SECURE style flag for ThreadSafeMessageBox, which indicates that the ↵Mark Friedenbach
message contains sensitive information. This keeps the message from being output to the debug log by bitcoind. Fixes a possible security risk when starting bitcoind in server mode without the 'rpcpassword' option configured, resulting in the "suggested" password being output to the debug log.

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.
2014-08-19Don't reveal whether password is <20 or >20 characters in RPCWladimir J. van der Laan
As discussed on IRC. It seems bad to base a decision to delay based on the password length, as it leaks a small amount of information.

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.
2014-08-06Avoid a copy in RPC outputWladimir J. van der Laan
Split up HTTPReply into HTTPReply and HTTPReplyHeader, so that the message data can be streamed directly. Also removes a c_str(), which would have prevented binary output with NUL characters in it.
2014-08-03Implement "getchaintips" RPC command to monitor blockchain forks.Daniel Kraft
Port over https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/19 from Huntercoin: This implements a new RPC command "getchaintips" that can be used to find all currently active chain heads. This is similar to the -printblocktree startup option, but it can be used without restarting just via the RPC interface on a running daemon.

2014-07-10Clean up RPCs that are disabled in safe-mode.Gregory Maxwell
This removes some inconsistencies in what worked and didn't work in safemode. Now only RPCs involved in getting balances or sending funds are disabled. Previously you could mine but not submit blocks— but we may need more blocks to resolve a fork that triggered safe mode in the first place, and the non-submission was not reliable since some miners submit blocks via multiple means. There were also a number of random commands disabled that had nothing to do with the blockchain like verifymessage. Thanks to earlz for pointing out that there were some moderately cheap ways to maliciously trigger safe mode, which brought attention to the fact that safemode wasn't used in a very intelligent way.

2014-07-02Add support for watch-only addressesPieter Wuille
Changes: * Add Add/Have WatchOnly methods to CKeyStore, and implementations in CBasicKeyStore. * Add similar methods to CWallet, and support entries for it in CWalletDB. * Make IsMine in script/wallet return a new enum 'isminetype', rather than a boolean. This allows distinguishing between spendable and unspendable coins. * Add a field fSpendable to COutput (GetAvailableCoins' return type). * Mark watchonly coins in listunspent as 'watchonly': true. * Add 'watchonly' to validateaddress, suppressing script/pubkey/... in this case. Based on a patch by Eric Lombrozo. Conflicts: src/qt/walletmodel.cpp src/rpcserver.cpp src/wallet.cpp
2014-06-28fix RPC error replieskazcw
After pull #4288, RPC messages indicating errors have a Content-Length unrelated to their actual contents, rendering bitcoin-cli and curl unable to decode the reply. This patch sets the Content-Length field based on the actual content returned. Additionally, pull #4288 clobbered the error descriptions provided in ErrorReply, which bitcoin-cli relies upon; this patch moves #4288 http-error descriptions to an HTTPError method, allowing HTTPReply to pass content on unchanged.

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.
