Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

Fixed a spelling mistake in httpc doc (Thanks to Wasif Riaz Malik)

Own Id: OTP-11538

Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the following applications:

asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger, dialyzer, edoc, eldap, erl_docgen, et, eunit, gs, hipe, inets, observer, odbc, os_mon, otp_mibs, parsetools, percept, public_key, reltool, runtime_tools, ssh, syntax_tools, test_server, tools, typer, webtool, wx, xmerl

A new test utility for testing appup files is added to test_server. This is now used by most applications in OTP.

Improvements and New Features

The commit 6189bc07 "inets: httpc improve pipelining" has been reverted, as it turned out to break things rather than improve pipelining utilization. It is instead up to the user to configure httpc and use it wisely to be able to get the most out of pipelining.

Fix httpd config option 'script_timeout' and fixed httpd config option 'keep_alive_timeout'. Thanks to Johannes Weissl.

Own Id: OTP-11276

Make httpc:request_cancel/[1,2] asynchronous. Previously these functions tried to guarantee request answer would not reach the client, which only worked for some of the use cases. Now these functions are totally asynchronous which makes it the clients responsibility to disregard possible answers to canceled requests.

Also pipelining implementation has been changed to improve the utilization factor. Further investigation of possible enhancements in this area are planned for later.

Own Id: OTP-10934

Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz

In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.

This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been updated to use the new API.

Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained environments.

[ftpc] Add a config option to specify a data connect timeout. That is how long the ftp client will wait for the server to connect to the data socket. If this timeout occurs, an error will be returned to the caller and the ftp client process will be terminated.

Own Id: OTP-9545

[httpc] Wrong Host header in IPv6 HTTP requests. When a URI with a IPv6 host is parsed, the brackets that encapsulates the address part is removed. This value is then supplied as the host header. This can cause problems with some servers. A workaround for this is to use headers_as_is and provide the host header with the requst call. To solve this a new option has been added, ipv6_host_with_brackets. This option specifies if the host value of the host header shall include the brackets or not. By default, it does not (as before).

[httpc] httpc manager crashes. When a request results in a retry, the request id will be "reused" in the previous implementation a race condition could occur causing the manager to crash.

[httpc] Issuing a request (httpc:request) to an host with the ssl option {ip, {127,0,0,1}} results in an handler crash. The reason was that the connect call resulted in an exit with reason badarg (this was the same for both ssl and gen_tcp).

[httpc] If a request times out (not connect timeout), the handler process exited (normal) but neglected to inform the manager process. For this reason, the manager did not clean up the request table., resulting in a memory leak. Also the manager did not create a monitor for the handler, so in an unforseen handler crash, this could also create a memory leak.

The erl_script_timeout config option is ducumented as a number of seconds. But when parsing the config, in the new format (not a config file), it was handled as if in number of milliseconds.

[httpc|httpd] http_chunk data handling/passing improvement.

This is a modification to the http_chunk module to forward any full chunk received, regardless of whether the size field for the following chunk has been received yet. This allows http_chunk to be used in situations where a long term HTTP connection is used to send periodic status updates as individual chunks. Previously a given chunk would not be forwarded to the client process until the size for the next chunk had been read which rendered the module difficult to use for the scenario described.

[httpc] Several more or less critical fixes:

Initial call between the httpc manager and request handler was synchronous.

When the manager starts a new request handler, this is no longer a synchronous operation. Previously, the new request handler made the connection to the server and issuing of the first request (the reason for starting it) in the gen_server init function. If the connection for some reason "took some time", the manager hanged, leaving all other activities by that manager also hanging.

As a side-effect of these changes, some modules was also renamed, and a new api module, httpc, has been introduced (the old module http is not removed, but is now just wrapper for httpc).

It is now also possible to start a standalone FTP client process using the re-introduced ftp:open function.

This is an alternative to starting the client using the inets service framework.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Previously, the FTP client attempted to use IPv6, unless otherwise instructed (the ip_v6_disabled flag), and only used IPv4 if this did not work. This has now been changed.

[ftpc] - The ls/2 function (LIST command) and the nlist/2 function (NLST command) with wildcards did not work properly.

These functions is documented as working on directories, but this is actually not according the standard. The LIST and NLST commands are specified to operate on a directory or other group of files, or a file.

Previously, an attempt was made to check if the listing returned by the server was actually an error message. This was done by changing remote directory (cd) into the (assumed) "directory". This may work if Pathname was actually a directory, but as this is not always the case, this test does not work. Instead, we now return the actual server result and leave the interpretation to the caller.

When starting the web-server either using a file with property list (the proplist_file) or a an property list, using the ipfamily option: {ipfamily, inet | inet6 | inet6fb4}.

Finally, when starting the web-server using the classical apache-style config file, the BindAddress directive has been augmented to allow the specification of the IpFamily: BindAddress blirk.ericsson.se|inet

Default is inet6fb4 which emulates the behaviour of the previous version.
