This commit adds a new function to btcctl that shows the results as
properly indented JSON instead of relying on spew and changes all of the
commands that used spew to the new function. The output of btcctl
should be more user-facing than developer-facing.
This commit modifies btcctl to show float values with %f instead of the
default %v. This means the values will show similar to 1180923195.260000
instead of 1.18092319526e+09 (scientific notation).
This commit adds version information to btcctl. The plan is to keep
it in lock step with the btcd version. It also updates the release script
so the version file is updated automatically with the btcd one.
This commit improves the configuration for btcctl in several ways:
- Add the ability to specify a config file
- Add a default entry to the rpc cert to point to the location
it will likely be in the btcd home directory
- Move the config bits into a separate file for easier maintenance
All rpc sockets now listen using TLS by default, and this can not be
turned off. The keys (defauling to the datadirectory) may be provided by
--rpccert and --rpckey. If the keys do not exist we will generate a new
self-signed keypair with some sane defaults (hostname and all current
interface addresses).
Additionally add tls capability to btcctl so that it can still be used.
The certificate to use for verify can be provided on the commandline or
verification can be turned off (this leaves you susceptible to MITM
attacks)
Initial code from dhill (rpc tls support) and jrick (key generation),
cleanup, debugging and polishing from me.
So far we only do level 0 and level 1 checks (precense and basic
sanity). The checks done at higher levels in bitcoind are closely
coupled with their database layout.
arguably Closes#13
