* anders/diameter/grouped_decode/OTP-12475: Allow encode of decoded diameter_avp list Add testcases for diameter_avp decode Fix handling of length errors on Grouped AVPs Don't discard component diameter_avp list on Grouped AVP decode error Fix process dictionary manipulation during message decode
2015-03-04Allow encode of decoded diameter_avp listAnders Svensson
The decode of an incoming request in a non-relay application results in a deep list of diameter_avp records. Encoding such a list resulted in a function_clause error in diameter_codec:pack_avp/1, which expected a flat list. The list is only flat in the relay case, or in the absence of AVPs of type Grouped. This is also related to code that exists but isn't documented. It's documented that a diameter_app(3) handle_request callback can return {relay, Opts} to relay a request received in the relay application. What's not documented is that it can also return {proxy|resend, Opts} in a non-relay application, but this leads to encode failure when there are Grouped AVPs. This shouldn't be interpreted as meaning that proxy|resend are now supported: they aren't. The two extra terms are a historical relic that should probably be removed. Neither are generally usable since, for example, a proxy agent may want to modify a request before resending it. A specific handle_request return is not needed to implement a proxy agent. Even {relay, Opts} isn't strictly necessary.
2015-03-04Fix handling of length errors on Grouped AVPsAnders Svensson
The decode of a Grouped AVP ignored the case that extracting component AVPs with diameter_codec:collect_avps/1 returned a tuple, in the case of a truncated AVP header.
2015-01-19Fix retransmission of messages sent as header/avps listAnders Svensson
Extracting the End-to-End and Hop-by-Hop identifiers resulted in a function clause error, causing the send to fail.
2014-09-08Fix best effort decode of Failed-AVPAnders Svensson
Commit c2c00fdd didn't get it quite right: it only decoded failed AVPs in the common dictionary since it's this dictionary an answer-message is decoded in. An extra dictionary isn't something that's easily passed through the decode without rewriting dictionary compilation however, and that's no small job, so continue with the use/abuse of the process dictionary by storing the dictionary module for the decode to retrieve. This is one step worse than previous uses since the dictionary is put in one module (diameter_codec) and got in another (the dictionary module), but it's the lesser of two evils.
2014-05-26Do best-effort decode of Failed-AVPAnders Svensson
Commit 4ce2d3a6 (diameter-1.4.2, OTP-11007) disabled the decode of values in Failed-AVP components since any error caused the decode of Failed-AVP itself to fail. This is less than useful since (1) we should be able to decode it given that we've sent it (modulo mangling on the way to the peer and back), and (2) it's not unheard of to examine Failed-AVP to see what the peer objected to. This commits adds a best-effort decode: decode if possible, otherwise not, using the same abuse of the process dictionary as commit bbdb027c.
2014-05-26Fix handling of AVP length errors (5014) in unknown AVPsAnders Svensson
Commit 4ce2d3a6 added the insertion of a single bit into binary AVP data to induce an encode error in the case of a header length that pointed past the available bytes: a 5014 = DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH error. Commit 838856b fixed this for stringish Diameter types, but both commits neglected the case in which the offending AVP isn't known to the dictionary in question. Unless the AVP was regarded as erroneous for other reasons (eg. an M-bit resulting in 5001) it would be happily be packed into an 'AVP' field. If it was regarded as an error, the record could be passed back to diameter_codec:pack_avp/1, and if the record contained header data then there was no clause to deal with the unpleasantry. Deal with it by having the dictionary module strip the extra bit and flag the AVP as 5014, and by having diameter_codec handle any extra bit coming from an dictionary compiled against an old diameter_gen. An old dictionary won't detect 5014 however, so dictionaries should be recompiled. Change most of the guards in diameter_codec from is_bitstring/1 to is_binary/1. What's being passed to the decode functions are binaries received other the network. The only case in which a non-binary bitstring is when we've placed an extra bit there ourselves. (Modulo someone doing something they shouldn't.)
2014-05-26Replace traffic-related log reports with no-op function callsAnders Svensson
The former were a little over-enthusiastic and could cause a node to be logged to death if a peer Diameter node was sufficiently ill-willed. The function calls are to diameter_lib:log/4, the arguments of which identify the happening in question, and which does nothing but provide a function to trace on. Many existing log calls have been shrunk. The only remaining traffic-related report (hopefully) is that resulting from {answer_errors, report} config, and this has been slimmed.
2014-05-23Count encode errors in outgoing messagesAnders Svensson
Only decode errors were counted previously. Keys are of the form {Id, send, error}, where Id is: {ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit} | unknown The latter will be the case if not even a #diameter_header{} can be constructed.
2013-11-03Fix handling of 5014, DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTHAnders Svensson
The error was detected as 5004 (DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_VALUE) for stringish Diameter types, in which case an AVP length that pointed past the end of a message resulted in encode failure of the suggested Failed-AVP. Should have been fixed in commit 4ce2d3a6.

2013-05-17Add spec to diameter_codecAnders Svensson
2013-05-17Fix recognition of 5014 (INVALID_AVP_LENGTH) errorsAnders Svensson
Invalid lengths come in two flavours: ones that correctly point at the end of an AVP's payload but don't agree with its type, and ones that point elsewhere. The former are relatively harmless but the latter leave no way to recover AVP boundaries, which typically results in failure to decode subsequent AVP's in the message in question. In the case that AVP Length points past the end of the message, diameter incorrectly regarded the error as 5009, INVALID_AVP_BITS: not right since the error has nothing to do with AVP Flags. Ditto if the length was less than 8, a minimal header length. Only in the remaining case was the detected error 5014, INVALID_AVP_LENGTH. However, in this case it slavishly followed RFC 3588 in suggesting the undecodable AVP as Failed-AVP, thereby passing the woeful payload back to the sender to have equal difficulty decoding. Now follow RFC 6733 and suggest an AVP with a zero-filled payload.
2013-04-22Fix decode failure when AVP Length < 8Anders Svensson
Such a length caused decode of a message with valid (24-bit) length to fail. Note that the error detected is wrong: it should be 5014 (INVALID_AVP_LENGTH), not 3009 (INVALID_AVP_BITS). This will be dealt with by OTP-11007.
2013-02-08Don't hardcode common dictionaryAnders Svensson
Instead, use whatever dictionary a transport has configured as supporting application id 0. This is to support the updated RFC 6733 dictionaries (which bring with them updated records) and also to be able to transparently support any changed semantics (eg. 5xxx in answer-message).
2013-01-15Fix setting of Application-IDAnders Svensson
An answer message with the E flag erroneously set the value to 0.
2012-10-04Add missing clause for peer failoverAnders Svensson
diameter_codec:sequence_numbers/1 is called on an already extracted pair of sequence numbers in the case of failover.

* anders/diameter/capabilities_encode/OTP-10203: Deal with the fact that capabilities config may be incomplete
2012-08-24Deal with the fact that capabilities config may be incompleteAnders Svensson
A transport can be configured before its service so handle insufficient configuration instead of crashing at CER/CEA encode.
2012-07-04Encode fixAnders Svensson
The header is used when incrementing counters. Sending answers in the list form was broken because of this.
2011-11-10Send events for connection establishment failureAnders Svensson
If a peer fsm process exits then the exit reason is received by the service process in a 'DOWN' message. If the reason is the one generated by diameter_peer_fsm:close/2, which is called to signal a non-transport failure before the completion of capabilities exchange (eg. receiving an unsuccessful CEA), then an event is sent to any subscribers. Also, tweak capabilities_cb return values for more informative event data.
2011-10-17One makefile for src build instead of recursionAnders Svensson
Simpler, no duplication of similar makefiles and makes for better dependencies. (Aka, recursive make considered harmful.)
