Conventionally in Tor, structs are returned as pointers, so change
tor_spawn_background() to return the process handle in a pointer rather
than as return value.
When we're doing filtering ssl bufferevents, we want the rate-limits
to apply to the lowest level of the bufferevent stack, so that we're
actually limiting bytes sent on the network. Otherwise, we'll read
from the network aggressively, and only limit stuff as we process it.
* Use strcmpstart() instead of strcmp(x,y,strlen(y)).
* Warn the user if the managed proxy failed to launch.
* Improve function documentation.
* Use smartlist_len() instead of n_unconfigured_proxies.
* Split managed_proxy_destroy() to managed_proxy_destroy()
and managed_proxy_destroy_with_transports().
* Constification.
Also remove a few other related warnings that could occur during the ssl
handshake. We do this because the relay operator can't do anything about
them, and they aren't their fault.
We'll still need to tweak it so that it looks for includes and
libraries somewhere more sensible than "where we happened to find
them on Erinn's system"; so that tests and tools get built too;
so that it's a bit documented; and so that we actually try running
the output.
Work done with Erinn Clark.
- pid, stdout/stderr_pipe now encapsulated in process_handle
- read_all replaced by tor_read_all_from_process_stdin/stderr
- waitpid replaced by tor_get_exit_code
Untested on *nix
Previously, if tor_addr_to_str() returned NULL, we would reuse the
last value returned by fmt_addr(). (This could happen if we were
erroneously asked to format an AF_UNSPEC address.) Now instead we
return "???".
This is the meat of proposal 171: we change circuit_is_acceptable()
to require that the connection is compatible with every connection
that has been linked to the circuit; we update circuit_is_better to
prefer attaching streams to circuits in the way that decreases the
circuits' usefulness the least; and we update link_apconn_to_circ()
to do the appropriate bookkeeping.
* Create a function that will get input from a stream, so that we can
communicate with the managed proxy.
* Hackish change to tor_spawn_background() so that we can specify an
environ for our spawn.
- We were reporting the _bottom_ N failing states, not the top N.
- With bufferevents enabled, we logged all TLS states as being "in
bufferevent", which isn't actually informative.
- When we had nothing to report, we reported nothing too loudly.
- Also, we needed documentation.
This code lets us record the state of any outgoing OR connection
that fails before it becomes open, so we can notice if they're all
dying in the same SSL state or the same OR handshake state.
More work is still needed:
- We need documentation
- We need to actually call the code that reports the failure when
we realize that we're having a hard time connecting out or
making circuits.
- We need to periodically clear out all this data -- perhaps,
whenever we build a circuit successfully?
- We'll eventually want to expose it to controllers, perhaps.
Partial implementation of feature 3116.
