Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.
Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.
05a55a6 Added EVENT_CFLAGS to test makefile to explicitly include libevent headers. (Karl-Johan Alm)
280a559 Added some simple tests for the RAII-style events. (Karl-Johan Alm)
7f7f102 Switched bitcoin-cli.cpp to use RAII unique pointers with deleters. (Karl-Johan Alm)
e5534d2 Added std::unique_ptr<> wrappers with deleters for libevent modules. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Sorry for the churn on this, but the current message (introduced in #9073)
isn't acceptable:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
rpc: couldn't connect to server
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port: -1 unknown)
Putting the error code after the words "RPC port" made me wonder whether
there was a port configuration issue.
This changes it to:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
4441018 Every main()/exit() should return/use one of EXIT_ codes instead of magic numbers (UdjinM6)
bd0de13 Fix exit codes: - `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error) - error reading config file should exit with `1` (UdjinM6)
- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
Implements #7442 by adding an option `-stdin` which reads
additional arguments from stdin, one per line.
For example
```bash
echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
echo -e "walletpassphrase\nmysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin
```
The two timeouts for the server and client, are essentially different:
- In the case of the server it should be a lower value to avoid clients
clogging up connection slots
- In the case of the client it should be a high value to accomedate slow
responses from the server, for example for slow queries or when the
lock is contended
Split the options into `-rpcservertimeout` and `-rpcclienttimeout` with
respective defaults of 30 and 900.
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
When no `-rpcpassword` is specified, use a special 'cookie' file for
authentication. This file is generated with random content when the
daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Read access to this file
controls who can access through RPC. By default this file is stored in
the data directory but it be overriden with `-rpccookiefile`.
This is similar to Tor CookieAuthentication: see
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
Alternative to #6258. Like that pull, this allows running bitcoind
without any manual configuration. However, daemons should ideally never write to
their configuration files, so I prefer this solution.
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format works even if the translation of the strings
modifies the lenght of the message.
Sqashed 6 commits in a single one.
Help messages correctly formatted for SVGA text mode (132 chars)
Help messages are formatted programmatically with FormatParagraph
in order not to break existing strings in Transifex.
The new format should work even if the translation of the strings

Fix - syntax error
Correct formatting for 79 chars
Correctly based on C++ functions
Removed spare spaces from option strings
