Fixes: RIPD-1574
Alias beast address classes to the asio equivalents. Adjust users of
address classes accordingly. Fix resolver class so that it can support
ipv6 addresses. Make unit tests use ipv6 localhost network. Extend
endpoint peer message to support string endpoint
representations while also supporting the existing fields (both are
optional/repeated types). Expand test for Livecache and Endpoint.
Workaround some false positive ipaddr tests on windows (asio bug?)
Replaced usage of address::from_string(deprecated) with free function
make_address. Identified a remaining use of v4 address type and
replaced with the more appropriate IPEndpoint type (rpc_ip cmdline
option). Add CLI flag for using ipv4 with unit tests.
Release Notes
-------------
The optional rpc_port command line flag is deprecated. The rpc_ip
parameter now works as documented and accepts ip and port combined.
The existing configuration includes 512 and 1024 bit DH
parameters and supports ciphers such as RC4 and 3DES and
hash algorithms like SHA-1 which are no longer considered
secure.
Going forward, use only 2048-bit DH parameters and define
a new default set of modern ciphers to use:
HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS:!SHA1:!3DES:!RC4:!EXPORT:!DSS
Additionally, allow administrators who wish to have different
settings to configure custom global and per-port ciphers suites
in the configuration file using the `ssl_ciphers` directive.
New classes are introduced to represent HTTP messages and their
associated bodies. The parser interface is reworked to use CRTP,
error codes, and trait checks.
New classes:
* basic_headers
Models field/value pairs in a HTTP message.
* message
Models a HTTP message, body behavior defined by template argument.
Parsed message carries metadata generated during parsing.
* parser
Produces parsed messages.
* empty_body, string_body, basic_streambuf_body
Classes used to represent content bodies in various ways.
New functions:
* read, async_read, write, async_write
Read and write HTTP messages on a socket.
New concepts:
* Body: Represents the HTTP Content-Body.
* Field: A HTTP header field.
* FieldSequence: A forward sequence of fields.
* Reader: Parses a Body from a stream of bytes.
* Writer: Serializes a Body to buffers.
basic_parser changes:
* add write methods which throw exceptions instead
* error_code passed via parameter instead of return value
* fold private member calls into existing callbacks
* basic_parser uses CRTP instead of virtual members
* add documentation on Derived requirements for CRTP
impl/http-parser changes:
* joyent renamed to nodejs to reflect upstream changes
Calculate the number of file descriptors that are needed during
execution based on the configuration file, with a hard floor
of 1024, adjusting the limit if possible. Refuse to run if enough
fds are not available.
Additionally, allow administrators to limit the number of incoming
connections a configured port will accept. By default no limit is
imposed.
This is designed for use by proxies in front of rippled. Configured IPs
can forward identifying user data in HTTP headers, including
user name and origin IP. If the user name exists, then resource limits
are lifted for that session. However, administrative commands are still
reserved only for administrative sessions.
