2014-08-12Better support for dynamic option changes in llcorehttp. Libcurl hasMonty Brandenberg
some problems disabling pipelining on a multi handle with outstanding requests so build a more conservative system that allows requests to drain before setting curl multi options. Would rather not have this but it is significantly safer. "HttpPipelining" debug setting is now fully dynamic. Connection limits can also be made dynamic in the near future. Upped the default connection count back to 8 for now but will revisit this in the tuning phase. It might be time to combine mesh and textures into a single asset class. For normal server operations that would be a clear path, but for server under load, the current scheme may be better. Minor cleanup in logging to elminate some redundant strings. Might add some more tracing to the stall logic 'just in case'.
2013-07-12SH-4312 Configuration data between viewer and llcorehttp is clumsy.Monty Brandenberg
Much improved. Unified the global and class options into a single option list. Implemented static and dynamic setting paths as much as possible. Dynamic path does require packet/RPC but otherwise there's near unification. Dynamic modes can't get values back yet due to the response/notifier scheme but this doesn't bother me. Flatten global and class options into simpler struct-like entities. Setter/getter available on these when needed (external APIs) but code can otherwise fiddle directly when it knows what to do. Much duplicated options/state removed from HttpPolicy. Comments cleaned up. Threads better described and consistently mentioned in API docs. Integration test extended for 503 responses with Reply-After headers.

2012-07-23Big comment and naming cleanup. Ready for prime-time.Monty Brandenberg
Add to-do list to _httpinternal.h to guide anyone who wants to pitch in and help.
2012-07-03More integration work for texture fetch timeouts.Monty Brandenberg
The fetch state machine received a new timeout during the WAIT_HTTP_REQ state. For the integration, rather than jump the state to done, we issue a request cancel and let the notification plumbing do the rest without any race conditions or special-case logic.
2012-06-23SH-3184/SH-3221 Improve cleanup, destructor, thread termination, etc. logic ↵Monty Brandenberg
in library. With this commit, the cleanup paths should be production quality. Unit tests have been expanded to include cases requiring thread termination and cleanup by the worker thread. Special operation/request added to support the unit tests. Thread interface expanded to include a very aggressive cancel() method that does not do cleanup but prevents the thread from accessing objects that will be destroyed.
2012-06-22This sets down the groundwork for dynamic policy classes.Monty Brandenberg
Groundwork is used for the default class which currently represents texture fetching. Class options implemented from API user into HttpLibcurl. Policy layer is going to start doing some traffic shaping like work to solve problems with consumer-grade gear. Need to have dynamic aspects to policies and that starts now...

2012-06-14LLMutex recursive lock, global & per-request tracing, simple GET request, ↵Monty Brandenberg
LLProxy support, HttpOptions starting to work, HTTP resource waiting fixed. Non-LLThread-based threads need to do some registration or LLMutex locks taken out in these threads will not work as expected (SH-3154). We'll get a better solution later, this fixes some things for now. Tracing of operations now supported. Global and per-request (via HttpOptions) tracing levels of [0..3]. The 2 and 3 levels use libcurl's VERBOSE mode combined with CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION to stream high levels of detail into the log. *Very* laggy but useful. Simple GET request supported (no Range: header). Really just a degenrate case of a ranged get but supplied an API anyway. Global option to use the LLProxy interface to setup CURL handles for either socks5 or http proxy usage. This isn't really the most encapsulated way to do this but a better solution will have to come later. The wantHeaders and tracing options are now supported in HttpOptions giving per-request controls. Big refactoring of the HTTP resource waiter in lltexturefetch. What I was doing before wasn't correct. Instead, I'm implementing the resource wait after the Semaphore model (though not using system semaphores). So instead of having a sequence like: SEND_HTTP_REQ -> WAIT_HTTP_RESOURCE -> SEND_HTTP_REQ, we now do WAIT_HTTP_RESOURCE -> WAIT_HTTP_RESOURCE2 (actual wait) -> SEND_HTTP_REQ. Works well but the prioritized filling of the corehttp library needs some performance work later.
2012-06-12HTTP Proxy, PUT & POST, unit tests and refactoring.Monty Brandenberg
Implemented/modified PUT & POST to not used chunked encoding for the request. Made the unit test much happier and probably a better thing for the pipeline. Have a cheesy static & dynamic proxy capability using both local options and a way to wire into LLProxy in llmessages. Not a clean thing but it will get the proxy path working with both socks5 & http proxies. Refactoring to get rid of unneeded library handler and unified an HttpStatus return for all requests. Big batch of code removed as a result of that and more is possible as well as some syscall avoidance with a bit more work. Boosted the unit tests for simple PUT & POST test which revealed the test harness does *not* like chunked encoding so we'll avoid it for now (and don't really need it in any of our schemes).
2012-06-11Refactoring of the request completion thread and removal of ↵Monty Brandenberg
206/content-range hack in xport. Retry/response handling is decided in policy so moved that there. Removed special case 206-without-content-range response in transport. Have this sitation recognizable in the API and let callers deal with it as needed.
2012-06-08Implemented HTTP retry for requests. Went in rather easily whichMonty Brandenberg
surprised me. Added a retry queue similar to ready queue to the policy object which is sorted by retry time. Currently do five retries (after the initial try) delayed by .25, .5, 1, 2 and 5 seconds. Removed the retry logic from the lltexturefetch module. Upped the waiting time in the unit test for the retries. People won't like this but tough, need tests.
2012-06-06Policy + caching fixes + https support + POST workingMonty Brandenberg
Implemented first global policy definitions to support SSL CA certificate configuration to support https: operations. Fixed HTTP 206 status handling to match what is currently being done by grid services and to lay a foundation for fixes that will be a response to ER-1824. More libcurl CURLOPT options set on easy handles to do peer verification in the traditional way. HTTP POST working and now reporting asset metrics back to grid for the viewer's asset system. This uses LLSD so that is also showing as compatible with the new library.
2012-06-01Missed two instances of priority typed as 'float'. Became anMonty Brandenberg
excuse to go through an use a typedef for priority and policy class id.
2012-06-01Major steps towards implementing the policy component.Monty Brandenberg
Identified and reacted to the priority inversion problem we have in texturefetch. Includes the introduction of a priority_queue for the requests that are ready. Start some parameterization in anticipation of having policy_class everywhere. Removed _assert.h which isn't really needed in indra codebase. Implemented async setPriority request (which I hope I can get rid of eventually along with all priorities in this library). Converted to using unsigned int for priority rather than float. Implemented POST and did groundwork for PUT.
2012-05-23Integrate llcorehttp library into lltexturefetch design.Monty Brandenberg
This is the first functional viewer pass with the HTTP work of the texture fetch code performed by the llcorehttp library. Not exactly a 'drop-in' replacement but a work-alike with some changes (e.g. handler notification in consumer thread versus responder notification in worker thread). This also includes some temporary changes in the priority scheme to prevent the kind of priority inversion found in VWR-28996. Scheme used here does provide liveness if not optimal responsiveness or order-of-operation. The llcorehttp library at this point is far from optimally performing. Its worker thread is making relatively poor use of cycles it gets and it doesn't idle or sleep intelligently yet. This early integration step helps shake out the interfaces, implementation niceties will be covered soon.
2012-04-23Okay, imported the core-http library and got it compiling suspiciously easily.Monty Brandenberg
The unit/integration tests don't work yet as I'm still battling cmake/autobuild as usual but first milestone passed.
