Initial prototype for one command mostly from jrick, with discussion
with me and jcv. Other commands mocked up in a couple of long boring days by
yours truly.
Code isn't fully tested yet so may well still be buggy in the type conversions.
Test will be added over the next few days to get this up to snuff.
This commit modifies the ValidateTransactionScripts API to accept the
recently added ScriptFlags from btcscript. This provides flexibility to
the caller to choose validation behavior based on those new flags.
Several of the bitcoin data structures contain variable length entries,
many of which have well-defined maximum limits. However, there are still
a few cases, such as variable length strings and number of transactions
which don't have clearly defined maximum limits. Instead they are only
limited by the maximum size of a message.
In order to efficiently decode messages, space is pre-allocated for the
slices which hold these variable length pieces as to avoid needing to
dynamically grow the backing arrays. Due to this however, it was
previously possible to claim extremely high slice lengths which exceed
available memory (or maximum allowed slice lengths).
This commit imposes limits to all of these cases based on calculating
the maximum possible number of elements that could fit into a message
and using those as sane upper limits.
The variable length string case was found (and tests added to hit it) by
drahn@ which prompted an audit to find all cases.
This change allows btcwallet to keep a pool of transactions that have
not yet been mined into a block, notifying wallet when transactions
are mined, as well as introducing a new way to send the
btcd:blockconnected notification with wallet-specific information as
part of the same notification. When a transaction is sent using the
RPC call 'sendrawtransaction', a notification request will be
automatically registered with the connected wallet (if using
websockets) to notify the wallet when the transaction first appears in
a block.
To perform this notification, and to avoid requiring wallets from
waiting for seperate mined tx notifications (and resend after a
timeout) or from sending an additional tx mined request for every tx
in the pool after each new block, the blockconnected notification is
now created seperately for each wallet. If the notified wallet has
sent a transaction, an additional JSON field "minedtxs" will include
an array of transaction IDs that the wallet has created and which are
included in the new block.
This new unique blockconnected notification can also be used for
additional notifications that may happen each new block in the future,
and to cut down on existing notification handlers in btcwallet, such
as for transactions to a watched address.
Rather than relying on the http package's DefaultServeMux for the RPC
server, create a unique mux specifically for the RPC server. This ensures
things, such as the http profiling handlers, do not commingle.
Define errors (previously done in btcwallet and btcd's rpcserver) in
one place so they can just be called by name rather than generated in
code using btcjson.
Closes#5
Rather than having to keep the usage in sync with the supported commands,
simply include the usage as a field in the command handlers map and
dynamically generate the usage from there.
This commit modifies the command handler in btcctl to check the existence
of a display handler before issues an RPC command. This prevents a round
trip to the server if there is no display handler.
Also, fix a couple of comments while here.
This commit significantly reworks btcctl to use a map based approach to
command handling. This reduces the number of lines of code needed,
simplifies adding new commands, improves the error handling, and removes
several cases where unexpected data was not handled properly (it could
panic).
This commit also adds the ability to specify the optional parameter on
getrawtransaction.
Discussed with dhill@.
It was previously possible for the unprotected iteration of the mempool
orphans to lead to undefined results. This commit remedies that by
reworking the locking code a bit. It also embeds the mutex directly into
the mempool struct rather than having a separate field for it so the
syntax is a slightly cleaner.
Results from FetchTxByShaList must each be checked for a nil Err and a
non-nil Tx. Fix this issue in two places where these conditions were
not being checked.
The latest websockets code added a quit channel to the RPC server, but did
not initialize it. This commit corrects that so shutdown works properly
again.
If we don't hear from a peer for 5 minutes, we disconnect them. To keep
traffic flowing we send a ping every 2 minutes if we have not send any
other message that should get a reply.
