It was incorrectly stated that the AVP would be set in an outgoing DPR/DPA.

2014-01-24Change interface for communicating outbound stream id to diameter_sctpAnders Svensson
The module uses the transport_data field of record diameter_packet to communicate the stream on which the an incoming message is received and on which an outgoing message should be sent, the previous interface being that both are communicated as a tuple of the form {stream, Id}. However, since diameter retains the value of an incoming request's transport_data unless the corresponding answer message specifies otherwise, the behaviour in this case is to send an answer on the outbound stream with the same identifier as the that of the inbound stream on which the request was received. If the inbound stream id is greater than or equal to the number of outbound streams then this is guaranteed to fail, causing the transport process in question to terminate. There is no relationship between inbound and outbound stream identifiers so diameter_sctp's imposition of one is simply wrong. Outbound stream ids are now communicated with a different tuple: {outstream, Id}, interpreted modulo the number of outbound streams. Thus, retention of an inbound request's transport_data has no effect on the selection of an outbound stream. The change in interface is not strictly backwards compatible because of the new atom for the outbound stream. However, as there is currently no documented way of obtaining the available number of outbound streams for a peer connection, there is no way for a client to have known the range of ids from which it could reliably have chosen with the previous interface, so any setting of the outbound stream has probably been unintentional. Not explicitly specifying an outbound stream now results in a round-robin selection.
2014-01-16Don't format diameter_make:codec/2 errorsAnders Svensson
Instead, add diameter_make:format_error/1 to allow the caller to format if desired, which is what applications like compiler and yecc do. Use this to check that the expected error is the one actually generated in the compiler suite.

2013-11-29Rename reconnect_timer -> connect_timerAnders Svensson
The former was misleading since the timer only applies to initial connection attempts, reconnection attempts being governed by watchdog_timer. The name is a historic remnant from a (dark, pre-OTP) time in which RFC 3539 was followed less slavishly than it is now, and the timer actually did apply to reconnection attempts. Note that connect_timer corresponds to RFC 6733 Tc, while watchdog_timer corresponds to RFC 3539 TwInit. The latter RFC makes clear that TwInit should apply to reconnection attempts. It's less clear if only RFC 6733 is read. Note also that reconnect_timer is still accepted for backwards compatibility. It would be possible to add an option to make reconnect_timer behave strictly as the name suggests (ie. ignore RFC 3539 and interpret RFC 6733 at face value; something that has some value for testing at least) but no such option is implemented in this commit.

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.

2013-06-10Let diameter_{tcp,sctp} be configured with permissible remote addressesAnders Svensson
Option 'accept' allows remote addresses to be configured as tuples or regular expressions. The remote addresses for any incoming (aka accepted) connection/association are matched against the configured values, any non-matching address causing the connection/association to be aborted.

* anders/diameter/5xxx_failed_avp/OTP-11092: Fix setting of Failed-AVP on {answer_message, 5xxx} from handle_request
2013-06-02Fix setting of Failed-AVP on {answer_message, 5xxx} from handle_requestAnders Svensson
RFC 6733 says that certain 5xxx result codes must be accompanied by Failed-AVP, and decode populates #diameter_packet.errors with Result-Code/AVP pairs for errors it detects. However, Failed-AVP was not set in the outgoing answer if the handle_request callback returned {answer_message, 5xxx}. It is now set with the AVP from the first pair with the specified Result-Code, if found. Note that {answer_message, 5xxx} doesn't handle all cases in which a 5xxx answer is required, only that in which the setting above is appropriate. If it isn't then handle_request should construct its answer and return {reply, Ans}.
2013-06-02Respect Host-IP-Address configurationAnders Svensson
Addresses returned from a transport module were always used to populate Host-IP-Address AVP's in an outgoing CER/CEA, which precluded the sending of a VIP address. Transport addresses are now only used if Host-IP-Address is unspecified. In other words, respect any configured Host-IP-Address, regardless of the physical addresses returned by the transport. To use the physical addresses, don't configure Host-IP-Address.

2013-04-11Make explicit local address to diameter_tcp:start/3 optionalAnders Svensson
Use the default address address (as selected by gen_tcp) if none is configured, passing it in the new 'connected' message introduced by the previous commit. The corresponding update to diameter_sctp has to wait until problems with inet:sockname/1 are resolved: the function currently only returns one address, and sometimes {0,0,0,0}. See OTP-11018.
2013-04-11Add transport interface 'connected' message with local address listAnders Svensson
A transport module can return a local address list from its start/3 function in order to specify addresses to be used as Host-IP-Address during capabilities exchange. Now allow addresses to be communicated in a 'connected' message in the case of a connecting transport, so that diameter_tcp (in particular) can make local address configuration optional, communicating the gen_tcp default after connection establishment instead.
