This corrects a bug the case of tying group size where the code may
fail to select the group with the newest member. Since newest time
is the final selection criteria, failing to break ties on it
on the step before can undermine the final selection.
Tied netgroups are very common.
With automatic tor HS support in place we should probably not be providing
absolute protection for local peers, since HS inbound could be used to
attack pretty easily. Instead, this counts on the latency metric inside
AttemptToEvictConnection to privilege actually local peers.
Adds 127.0.0.1:9050 for the .onion proxy if we can succesfully connect
to the control port.
Natural followup to creating hidden services automatically.
- Force AUTHCOOKIE size to be 32 bytes: This provides protection against
an attack where a process pretends to be Tor and uses the cookie
authentication method to nab arbitrary files such as the
wallet
- torcontrol logging
- fix cookie auth
- add HASHEDPASSWORD auth, fix fd leak when fwrite() fails
- better error reporting when cookie file is not ok
- better init/shutdown flow
- stop advertizing service when disconnected from tor control port
- COOKIE->SAFECOOKIE auth
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.
Usability improvements for z_importkey
- Add height parameter to z_importkey to reduce rescan range
- Change semantics of rescan parameter, so users can explicitly force a rescan
for existing keys.
Closes#2032
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)
Add a patch that seems to be necessary for compatibilty of libevent
2.0.22 with recent mingw-w64 gcc versions (at least GCC 5.3.1 from Ubuntu
16.04).
Without this patch the Content-Length in the HTTP header ends up as
`Content-Length: zu`, causing communication between the RPC
client and server to break down. See discussion in #8653.

Thanks to @sstone for the suggestion.
Change the few occurrences of the deprecated `auto_ptr` to c++11 `unique_ptr`.
Silences the deprecation warnings.
Also add a missing `std::` for consistency.
Bitwise logic combined with `<` with undefined signedness will
potentially results in undefined behavior. Fix this by defining the type
as a c++11 typed enum.
Fixes#6017.
Python's httplib does not graciously handle disconnections from the http server, resulting in BadStatusLine errors.
See https://bugs.python.org/issue3566 "httplib persistent connections violate MUST in RFC2616 sec 8.1.4."
This was fixed in Python 3.5.
Work around it for now.
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.
Ignore SIGPIPE on all non-win32 OSes, otherwise an unexpectedly disconnecting
RPC client will terminate the application. This problem was introduced
with the libhttp-based RPC server.
Fixes#6660.
This reverts commit bd30c3dced21fca869a14c75081f15195762afe1.
Disable windows RPC tests for now. These should be re-enabled once a
suitable Wine version is used on Travis.
