Previously, when a request's body data exceeded the expected length,
Rocket would shutdown both ends of the corresponding connection. This PR
changes the behavior so that only the read end of the connection, on
Rocket's side, is shutdown. This allows a response to be sent in the
future while still preventing DoS attacks due to exuberant data.
Fixes#386.
This completes the migration of custom derives to proc-macros, removing
the need for the `custom_derive` feature in consumer code. This commit
also includes documentation, unit tests, and compile UI tests for each
of the derives.
Additionally, this commit improves the existing `FromForm` and
`FromFormValue` derives. The generated code for `FromForm` now returns
an error value indicating the error condition. The `FromFormValue`
derive now accepts a `form` attribute on variants for specifying the
exact value string to match against.
Closes#590.
Closes#670.
This is fairly large commit with several entangled logical changes.
The primary change in this commit is to completely overhaul how URI
handling in Rocket works. Prior to this commit, the `Uri` type acted as
an origin API. Its parser was minimal and lenient, allowing URIs that
were invalid according to RFC 7230. By contrast, the new `Uri` type
brings with it a strict RFC 7230 compliant parser. The `Uri` type now
represents any kind of valid URI, not simply `Origin` types. Three new
URI types were introduced:
* `Origin` - represents valid origin URIs
* `Absolute` - represents valid absolute URIs
* `Authority` - represents valid authority URIs
The `Origin` type replaces `Uri` in many cases:
* As fields and method inputs of `Route`
* The `&Uri` request guard is now `&Origin`
* The `uri!` macro produces an `Origin` instead of a `Uri`
The strict nature of URI parsing cascaded into the following changes:
* Several `Route` methods now `panic!` on invalid URIs
* The `Rocket::mount()` method is (correctly) stricter with URIs
* The `Redirect` constructors take a `TryInto<Uri>` type
* Dispatching of a `LocalRequest` correctly validates URIs
Overall, URIs are now properly and uniformly handled throughout Rocket's
codebase, resulting in a more reliable and correct system.
In addition to these URI changes, the following changes are also part of
this commit:
* The `LocalRequest::cloned_dispatch()` method was removed in favor of
chaining `.clone().dispatch()`.
* The entire Rocket codebase uses `crate` instead of `pub(crate)` as a
visibility modifier.
* Rocket uses the `crate_visibility_modifier` and `try_from` features.
A note on unsafety: this commit introduces many uses of `unsafe` in the
URI parser. All of these uses are a result of unsafely transforming byte
slices (`&[u8]` or similar) into strings (`&str`). The parser ensures
that these casts are safe, but of course, we must label their use
`unsafe`. The parser was written to be as generic and efficient as
possible and thus can parse directly from byte sources. Rocket, however,
does not make use of this fact and so would be able to remove all uses
of `unsafe` by parsing from an existing `&str`. This should be
considered in the future.
Fixes#443.
Resolves#263.
All uses of `unsafe` are now thoroughly documented with arguments and
informal proofs of correctness as well as conditions that must hold for
these arguments to pass.
This commit also reduces the number of `unsafe` uses by 7, bringing the
count to ~10 non-test uses of `unsafe`.
