When the pgsql layer was introduced it was tightly coupled with the
http layer in order to make async work fluently.
The time has come to split these up and follow the same method we
used for tasks, allowing either http requests to be tied to a pgsql
data structure or a simple callback function.
This also reworks the internal queueing of pgsql requests until
connections to the db are available again.
The following API functions were changes:
- kore_pgsql_query_init() -> kore_pgsql_setup()
no longer takes an http_request parameter.
- NEW kore_pgsql_init()
must be called before operating on an kore_pgsql structure.
- NEW kore_pgsql_bind_request()
binds an http_request to a kore_pgsql data structure.
- NEW kore_pgsql_bind_callback()
binds a callback to a kore_pgsql data structure.
With all of this you can now build kore with PGSQL=1 NOHTTP=1.
The pgsql/ example has been updated to reflect these changes and
new features.
The only reason you would want to directly modify the cookie
after creating it should be to unset the HTTPONLY or SECURE flags
if that is what you *really* want to do.
Change http_response_cookie() to take all required parameters instead
of having to marshall those in yourself after.
Now you set a sane default cookie in one shot:
http_response_cookie(req, "key", "value", "/", 0, -1, NULL);
Which would create a session cookie key=value for / under the current domain.
We now default to httponly & secure for newly created cookies.
This should've been the default all along.
The http_response_cookie() no longer returns a pointer to http_cookie
but rather takes it as a parameter and will populate the pointer with
the newly created http_cookie if not NULL.
Additionally http_response_cookie() automatically sets the domain
based on the http_request passed into the function.
The possibility to call jsonrpc_destroy_request was left. Someone may
want to abruptly interrupt the process of its request for some odd
reason, in that case an exlicit call still would be to be made.
A true application dependant limit check would require stream parsing.
As the limit enforcement was done, it added nothing of value compared
to HTTP request limit check, which is in Kore already.
The API surface is very limited. Jsonrpc support reads request from HTTP
body and such can't be activated if NOHTTP=1. At the moment there is no
websocket support either (which is a shame). It depends upon the
third-party Yajl library.
Errors can be emitted using jsonrpc_error() and results using
jsonrpc_result(), for the later you'll have to provide a callback which
will write the inner of the result object.
If errors happen during the response write process, no further error
output will be attempted and an HTTP error 500 will be returned.
Read the provided example for getting a better idea of the API.
- Change pools to use mmap() for allocating regions.
- Change kore_malloc() to use pools for commonly sized objects.
(split into multiple of 2 buckets, starting at 8 bytes up to 8192).
- Rename kore_mem_free() to kore_free().
The preallocated pools will hold up to 128K of elements per block size.
In case a larger object is to be allocated kore_malloc() will use
malloc() instead.
Kore applications now get a build.conf which may contain different
build flavors. Each flavor can get its own cflags or ldflags.
This was in parts inspired by #106.
A new cli command has been added:
kore flavor
This command allows you to see all flavors and switch between them.
The kore build command now also takes a -v argument which if given
dumps the used CFLAGS and LDFLAGS out to stdout.
For existing applications the build.conf is automatically generated
next time you run kore build or kore run.
Also fixed a bug in the json_yajl example, sneaky change here.
