This removes handling of pre-rfc7395 encapsulation of xmpp in websocket
(where data send in websocket was using just raw data as send in regular
socket). This didn't work correctly for last 5 years, and as we didn't
see complains about this, we can assume it's not used anymore.
Previously c2s was free to generate data to send in unlimited manner, and
just generate queue of messages that are waiting to be send. This could lead to
hitting timouts in stream management ack handling (if c2s generate lot of
packages, after which <r> request was sent, client could even not receive it
before timeout was triggered on server waiting for corresponding <a>).
This changes makes c2s process wait for data being sent to tcp socket
associated with websocket connection, which should help with this problem.
The header consisted of too many unrelated stuff and macros misuse.
Some stuff is moved into scram.hrl and type_compat.hrl.
All macros have been replaced with the corresponding function calls.
TODO: probably type_compat.hrl is not even needed anymore since
we support only Erlang >= OTP 17.5
Due to historical reasons, ejabberd loads the whole file/data
into the memory when serving an HTTP request. This is now improved:
1) For GET requests ejabberd uses sendfile(2) if the underlying
connection is HTTP and falls back to read/write loop with 64kb
buffer for HTTPS connections. This type of requests are handled
by mod_http_fileserver, mod_http_upload, ejabberd_captcha, etc
2) POST requests are now limited to 20Mb and are fully downloaded
into the memory for further processing (by ejabberd_web_admin,
mod_bosh, etc)
3) PUT requests (e.g. for mod_http_upload) are handled by read/write
loop with 64kb buffer
ejabberd receivers were meant to serve connections from frontends
to backends. However, this approach was not popular and frontend
related code was removed in previous releases. Now, ejabberd receiver's
code was also removed, making the code shorter and cleaner. Also, in
stress tests ejabberd now handles load more robustly, without
c2s processes overload (even with disabled shapers).
ejabberd_socket.erl is renamed to xmpp_socket.erl: it's supposed to
be finally moved into stand-alone xmpp library.
The commit introduces the following changes:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
ejabberd_config:get_option() functions, because the configuration
keeps already validated values.
* New function ejabberd_config:get_option/1 is introduced
* Function ejabberd_config:get_option/3 is deprecated. If the function
is still called, the second argument (validating function) is simply
ignored.
* The second argument for ejabberd_config:get_option/2 is now
a default value, not a validating function.
Close the connection if a stream management client fails to respond to
an acknowledgement request within 60 seconds. This number of seconds
can be changed with the new "ack_timeout" option, and the mechanism can
be disabled by specifying 'infinity'.
As a side effect of this change, a new acknowledgement is no longer
requested before the response to the previous request is received.
Old style websocket do use binaries for transferring data to C2S, so when
we buffer that data we need to handle it different than list of #xml structs
used by new style connections.
This fixes github issue #515.
