2015-03-27Limit FQDN in DiameterURI to 255 octetsAnders Svensson
As for the port number in the parent commit, a FQDN can't be arbitrarily long, at most 255 octets. Make decode fail if it's more.
2015-03-24Add service_opt() string_decodeAnders Svensson
To control whether stringish Diameter types are decoded to string or left as binary. The motivation is the same as in the parent commit: to avoid large strings being copied when incoming Diameter messages are passed between processes; or *if* in the case of messages destined for handle_request and handle_answer callbacks, since these are decoded in the dedicated processes that the callbacks take place in. It would be possible to do something about other messages without requiring an option, but disabling the decode is the most effective. The value is a boolean(), true being the default for backwards compatibility. Setting false causes both diameter_caps records and decoded messages to contain binary() in relevant places that previously had string(): diameter_app(3) callbacks need to be prepared for the change. The Diameter types affected are OctetString and the derived types that can contain arbitrarily large values: OctetString, UTF8String, DiameterIdentity, DiameterURI, IPFilterRule, and QoSFilterRule. Time and Address are unaffected. The DiameterURI decode has been redone using re(3), which both simplifies and does away with a vulnerability resulting from the conversion of arbitrary strings to atom. The solution continues the use and abuse of the process dictionary for encode/decode purposes, last seen in commit 0f9cdba.

2013-07-30Fix UTF8String encodeAnders Svensson
To accept any nested list of codepoints and binaries. A list containing a binary was previously misinterpreted and the documentation was incomplete. Also, rework codec suite slightly to be able to specify values for which decode o encode is the identity map, for which encode should succeed, and for which encode should fail.

* anders/diameter/augment_inherited_enums/OTP-9469: Allow @enum when AVP is defined in an inherited dictionary.
2011-08-17Allow @enum when AVP is defined in an inherited dictionary.Anders Svensson
3GPP standards (for one) extend the values allowed for RFC 3588 AVP's of type Enumerated. Previously, extending an AVP was only possible by completely redefining the AVP.
2011-08-17@id required in dictionary files only when @messages is specified.Anders Svensson
@id defines an application identifier and this is used only when sending or receiving messages. A dictionary can define only AVP's however, to be included by other dictionaries using @inherits, in which case it makes no sense to require @id. Note that message definitions are not inherited with @inherits, only AVP's
