The use of binary for CURVE keys is painful; you cannot easily copy
these in e.g. email, or use them directly in source code. There are
various encoding possibilities. Base16 and Base64 are not optimal.
Ascii85 is not safe for source (it generates quotes and escapes).
So, I've designed a new Base85 encoding, Z85, which is safe to use
in code and elsewhere, and I've modified libzmq to use this where
it also uses binary keys (in get/setsockopt).
Very simply, if you use a 32-byte value, it's Base256 (binary),
and if you use a 40-byte value, it's Base85 (Z85).
I've put the Z85 codec into z85_codec.hpp, it's not elegant C++
but it is minimal and it works. Feel free to rewrap as a real class
if this annoys you.
- designed for TCP clients and servers
- added HTTP client / server example in tests/test_stream.cpp
- same as ZMQ_ROUTER + ZMQ_ROUTER_RAW + ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY
- includes b893ce set ZMQ_IDENTITY on outgoing connect
- deprecates ZMQ_ROUTER_RAW
- we need to switch to PLAIN according to options.mechanism
- we need to catch case when both peers are as-server (or neither is)
- and to use username/password from options, for client
* ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER, ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME, ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD options
* Man page changes to zmq_setsockopt and zmq_getsockopt
* Man pages for ZMQ_NULL, ZMQ_PLAIN, and ZMQ_CURVE
* Test program test_security
1) VSM - you cannot hand out the 'data' address as it was not allocated on the heap
2) for other messages the 'data' address cannot be handed out either, as it not the address
originally returned by malloc and hence cannot be passed to 'free'.
see msg.cpp
u.lmsg.content = (content_t*) malloc (sizeof (content_t) + size_);
....
u.lmsg.content->data = u.lmsg.content + 1;
So the function is changed to always malloc a data buffer and copy the data into it.
There is a possible optimisation using memmove for the non-VSM case but that is not done yet.
* Removed or truncated sleeps so the tests run faster
* Removed dependencies on zmq_utils
* Rewrote a few tests that were confusing
* Minor code cleanups
Simplify the test connect delay test script, removing the threads and
moving to a serialised version. AFAICS this should provide the same
test, but without the race conditions that happened with the previous
test.
