`-rpcallowip` currently has a wacky wildcard-based format. After this
commit it will accept the more standard format, for example:
- Ranges with netmask 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0, ::/0
- Ranges with cidr 12.3.4.5/24, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc:de:00/112
- Loose IPs ::1, 127.0.0.1
Trying to use the old *?-based format will result in an error message at
launch.
Adds two new info query commands that take over information from
hodge-podge `getinfo`.
Also some new information is added:
- `getblockchaininfo`
- `chain`: (string) current chain (main, testnet3, regtest)
- `verificationprogress: (numeric) estimated verification progress
- `chainwork`
- `getnetworkinfo`
- `localaddresses`: (array) local addresses, from mapLocalHost (fixes#1734)
Use sensible categories (overall control, P2P, blockchain/UTXO and
mining, wallet, wallet-enabled mining) and sort within each.
Also remove unnecessary #ifdef ENABLE_WALLET from `rpcnet.cpp`.
Functionality-neutral change.
Taught bitcoind to close the HTTP connection after it gets a 'stop' command,
to make it easier for the regression tests to cleanly stop.
Move bitcoinrpc files to correct location.
Tidied up the python-based regression tests.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
Currently it is only possible to use `walletpassphrase` to unlock the
wallet when bitcoin is started in server mode.
Almost everything that manipulates the wallet in the RPC console
needs the wallet to be unlocked and is thus unusable without -server.
This is pretty unintuitive to me, and I'm sure it's even more confusing
to users.
Solve this with a very minimal change: by making the GUI start a
dummy RPC thread just to handle timeouts.
The following mining-related RPC calls don't use the wallet:
- getnetworkhashps
- getmininginfo
- getblocktemplate
- submitblock
Enable them when compiling with --disable-wallet.
Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
