Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[6.2.0] - 2019-09-09

• websocket and http server: server does not close the bound client socket in many cases
• improve some websocket error messages
• add a utility function with unittest to parse status line and stop using scanf which triggers warnings on Windows

[6.1.0] - 2019-09-08

• move poll wrapper on top of select (only used on Windows) to the ix namespace

[6.0.1] - 2019-09-05

• add cobra metrics publisher + server unittest
• add cobra client + server unittest
• ws snake (cobra simple server) add basic support for unsubscription + subscribe send the proper subscription data + redis client subscription can be cancelled
• IXCobraConnection / pdu handlers can crash if they receive json data which is not an object

[6.0.0] - 2019-09-04

• all client autobahn test should pass !
• zlib/deflate has a bug with windowsbits == 8, so we silently upgrade it to 9/ (fix autobahn test 13.X which uses 8 for the windows size)

[5.2.0] - 2019-09-04

• Fragmentation: for sent messages which are compressed, the continuation fragments should not have the rsv1 bit set (fix all autobahn tests for zlib compression 12.X)
• Websocket Server / do a case insensitive string search when looking for an Upgrade header whose value is websocket. (some client use WebSocket with some upper-case characters)

[5.1.9] - 2019-09-03

• ws autobahn / report progress with spdlog::info to get timing info
• ws autobahn / use condition variables for stopping test case + add more logging on errors

[5.1.8] - 2019-09-03

• Per message deflate/compression: handle fragmented messages (fix autobahn test: 12.1.X and probably others)

[5.1.7] - 2019-09-03

• Receiving invalid UTF-8 TEXT message should fail and close the connection (fix remaining autobahn test: 6.X UTF-8 Handling)

[5.1.6] - 2019-09-03

• Sending invalid UTF-8 TEXT message should fail and close the connection (fix remaining autobahn test: 6.X UTF-8 Handling)
• Fix failing unittest which was sending binary data in text mode with WebSocket::send to call properly call WebSocket::sendBinary instead.
• Validate that the reason is proper utf-8. (fix autobahn test 7.5.1)
• Validate close codes. Autobahn 7.9.*

[5.1.5] - 2019-09-03

Framentation: data and continuation blocks received out of order (fix autobahn test: 5.9 through 5.20 Fragmentation)

[5.1.4] - 2019-09-03

Sending invalid UTF-8 TEXT message should fail and close the connection (fix tons of autobahn test: 6.X UTF-8 Handling)

[5.1.3] - 2019-09-03

Message type (TEXT or BINARY) is invalid for received fragmented messages (fix autobahn test: 5.3 through 5.8 Fragmentation)

[5.1.2] - 2019-09-02

Ping and Pong messages cannot be fragmented (fix autobahn test: 5.1 and 5.2 Fragmentation)

[5.1.1] - 2019-09-01

Close connections when reserved bits are used (fix autobahn test: 3.X Reserved Bits)

[5.1.0] - 2019-08-31

• ws autobahn / Add code to test websocket client compliance with the autobahn test-suite
• add utf-8 validation code, not hooked up properly yet
• Ping received with a payload too large (> 125 bytes) trigger a connection closure
• cobra / add tracking about published messages
• cobra / publish returns a message id, that can be used when
• cobra / new message type in the message received handler when publish/ok is received (can be used to implement an ack system).

[5.0.9] - 2019-08-30

• User-Agent header is set when not specified.
• New option to cap the max wait between reconnection attempts. Still default to 10s. (setMaxWaitBetweenReconnectionRetries).

ws connect --max_wait 5000 ws://example.com # will only wait 5 seconds max between reconnection attempts

[5.0.7] - 2019-08-23

• WebSocket: add new option to pass in extra HTTP headers when connecting.
• ws connect add new option (-H, works like curl) to pass in extra HTTP headers when connecting

If you run against ws echo_server you will see the headers being received printed in the terminal.

ws connect -H "foo: bar" -H "baz: buz" ws://127.0.0.1:8008

• CobraConnection: sets a unique id field for all messages sent to cobra.
• CobraConnection: sets a counter as a field for each event published.

[5.0.6] - 2019-08-22

• Windows: silly compile error (poll should be in the global namespace)

[5.0.5] - 2019-08-22

• Windows: use select instead of WSAPoll, through a poll wrapper

[5.0.4] - 2019-08-20

• Windows build fixes (there was a problem with the use of ::poll that has a different name on Windows (WSAPoll))

[5.0.3] - 2019-08-14

• CobraMetricThreadedPublisher _enable flag is an atomic, and CobraMetricsPublisher is enabled by default

[5.0.2] - 2019-08-01

• ws cobra_subscribe has a new -q (quiet) option
• ws cobra_subscribe knows to and display msg stats (count and # of messages received per second)

[5.0.1] - 2019-07-25

• ws connect command has a new option to send in binary mode (still default to text)

[5.0.0] - 2019-06-23

Changed

• New HTTP server / still very early. ws gained a new command, httpd can run a simple webserver serving local files.
• IXDNSLookup. Uses weak pointer + smart_ptr + shared_from_this instead of static sets + mutex to handle object going away before dns lookup has resolved
• cobra_to_sentry / backtraces are reversed and line number is not extracted correctly
• mbedtls and zlib are searched with find_package, and we use the vendored version if nothing is found
• travis CI uses g++ on Linux

[4.0.0] - 2019-06-09

Changed

• WebSocket::send() sends message in TEXT mode by default

• WebSocket callback only take one object, a const ix::WebSocketMessagePtr& msg
• Add explicit WebSocket::sendBinary method
• New headers + WebSocketMessage class to hold message data, still not used across the board
