This commit completely rewrites Rocket's HTTP serving. In addition to
significant internal cleanup, this commit introduces the following major
features:
* Support for custom, external listeners in the `listener` module.
The new `listener` module contains new `Bindable`, `Listener`, and
`Connection` traits which enable composable, external
implementations of connection listeners. Rocket can launch on any
`Listener`, or anything that can be used to create a listener
(`Bindable`), via a new `launch_on()` method.
* Support for Unix domain socket listeners out of the box.
The default listener backwards compatibly supports listening on Unix
domain sockets. To do so, configure an `address` of
`unix:path/to/socket` and optional set `reuse` to `true` (the
default) or `false` which controls whether Rocket will handle
creating and deleting the unix domain socket.
In addition to these new features, this commit makes the following major
improvements:
* Rocket now depends on hyper 1.
* Rocket no longer depends on hyper to handle connections. This allows
us to handle more connection failure conditions which results in an
overall more robust server with fewer dependencies.
* Logic to work around hyper's inability to reference incoming request
data in the response results in a 15% performance improvement.
* `Client`s can be marked secure with `Client::{un}tracked_secure()`,
allowing Rocket to treat local connections as running under TLS.
* The `macros` feature of `tokio` is no longer used by Rocket itself.
Dependencies can take advantage of this reduction in compile-time
cost by disabling the new default feature `tokio-macros`.
* A new `TlsConfig::validate()` method allows checking a TLS config.
* New `TlsConfig::{certs,key}_reader()`,
`MtlsConfig::ca_certs_reader()` methods return `BufReader`s, which
allow reading the configured certs and key directly.
* A new `NamedFile::open_with()` constructor allows specifying
`OpenOptions`.
These improvements resulted in the following breaking changes:
* The MSRV is now 1.74.
* `hyper` is no longer exported from `rocket::http`.
* `IoHandler::io` takes `Box<Self>` instead of `Pin<Box<Self>>`.
- Use `Box::into_pin(self)` to recover the previous type.
* `Response::upgrade()` now returns an `&mut dyn IoHandler`, not
`Pin<& mut _>`.
* `Config::{address,port,tls,mtls}` methods have been removed.
- Use methods on `Rocket::endpoint()` instead.
* `TlsConfig` was moved to `tls::TlsConfig`.
* `MutualTls` was renamed and moved to `mtls::MtlsConfig`.
* `ErrorKind::TlsBind` was removed.
* The second field of `ErrorKind::Shutdown` was removed.
* `{Local}Request::{set_}remote()` methods take/return an `Endpoint`.
* `Client::new()` was removed; it was previously deprecated.
Internally, the following major changes were made:
* A new `async_bound` attribute macro was introduced to allow setting
bounds on futures returned by `async fn`s in traits while
maintaining good docs.
* All utility functionality was moved to a new `util` module.
Resolves#2671.
Resolves#1070.
In the process, the following improvements were also made:
* Error messages related to TLS were improved.
* 'Redirector' in 'tls' example was improved.
The primary motivation is to deconflate the leading `F`s in `Failure` and
`Forward`. In particular, when using a generics, we used `F` for forward, which
could easily be confused for `F` for `Failure`. This resolves the conflation.
Prior to this commit, a route with a URI of `/` could not be mounted in
such a way that the resulting effective URI contained a trailing slash.
This commit changes the semantics of mounting so that mounting such a
route to a mount point with a trailing slash yields an effective URI
with a trailing slash. When mounted to points without a trailing slash,
the effective URI does not have a trailing slash.
This commit also introduces the `Route::rebase()` and
`Catcher::rebase()` methods for easier rebasing of existing routes and
catchers.
Finally, this commit improves logging such that mount points of `/`
are underlined in the logs.
Tests and docs were added and modified as necessary.
Resolves#2533.
If a port part was missing, the 'Authority' parser previously set the
port to `0`. This is incorrect. As in RFC#3986 3.2.3:
> URI producers and normalizers should omit the port component and its
":" delimiter if port is empty [..]
This commit fixes the parser's behavior to align with the RFC.
'EXE' is IANA registered, and the registered media type is used here for
the '.exe' extension.
The '.iso' and '.dmg' extensions do not appear to correspond to any IANA
registered media type, but they have a de facto media type of
"application/octet-stream", and that media type is used by this commit.
Closes#2530.
Prior to this commit, several `RouteUri` fields were public, allowing
those values to be changed at will. These changes were at times not
reflected by the rest of the library, meaning that the values in the
route URI structure for a route became incoherent with the reflected
values. This commit makes all fields private, forcing all changes to go
through methods that can ensure coherence. All values remain accessible
via getter methods.
* Trailing slashes are now allowed in all normalized URI paths, except
for route attribute URIs: `/foo/` is considered normalized.
* Query parts of URIs may now be empty: `/foo?` and `/foo/?` are now
considered normalized.
* The `base` field of `Catcher` is now only accessible via a new
getter method: `Catcher::base()`.
* `RawStr::split()` returns a `DoubleEndedIterator`.
* Introduced a second normalization for `Origin`, "nontrailing", and
associated methods: `Origin::normalize_nontrailing()`, and
`Origin::is_normalized_nontrailing()`.
* Added `Origin::has_trailing_slash()`.
* The `Segments<Path>` iterator will now return an empty string if
there is a trailing slash in the referenced path.
* `Segments::len()` is now `Segments::num()`.
* Added `RawStr::trim()`.
Resolves#2512.
The following dependencies were updated:
* `criterion` from 0.3 to 0.4
* `deadpool-redis` from 0.10 to 0.11
* `normpath` from 0.3 to 1
* `cookie` from 0.16 to 0.17
Adds an `ip_header` configuration parameter that allows modifying the
header Rocket attempts to use to retrieve the "real IP" address of the
client via `Request` methods like `client_ip()`. Additionally allows
disabling the use of any such header.
The core improvement is that `Rocket::launch()` now resolves to
`Ok(Rocket<Ignite>)` on nominal shutdown. Furthermore, shutdown never
terminates the running process.
Other changes directly related to shutdown:
* Runtime worker thread names are now irrelevant to graceful shutdown.
* `ErrorKind::Runtime` was removed; `ErrorKind::Shutdown` was added.
* The `force` config value is only read from the default provider.
* If `force`, Rocket's constructed async runtime is terminated.
Other related changes:
* The exported `hyper` module docs properly reflect public re-exports.
