On ZMQ_CURVE_xxxKEY fetches, would return 41 bytes into caller's 40-byte
buffer. Now these fetches only return 41 bytes if the caller explicitly
provides a 41-byte buffer (i.e. the option size is 41).
* This is passed to the ZAP handler in the 'domain' field
* If not set, or empty, then NULL security does not call the ZAP handler
* This resolves the phantom ZAP request syndrome seen with sockets where
security was never intended (e.g. in test cases)
* This means if you install a ZAP handler, it will not get any requests
for new connections until you take some explicit action, which can be
setting a username/password for PLAIN, a key for CURVE, or the domain
for NULL.
This allows making a new request on a REQ socket by sending a new
message. Without the option set, calling send() after the first message
is done will continue to return an EFSM error.
It's useful for when a REQ is not getting a response. Previously that
meant creating a new socket or switching to DEALER.
* Documentation:
The default behavior of REQ sockets is to rely on the ordering of messages
to match requests and responses and that is usually sufficient. When this option
is set to 1, the REQ socket will prefix outgoing messages with an extra frame
containing a request id. That means the full message is (request id, 0,
user frames...). The REQ socket will discard all incoming messages that don't
begin with these two frames.
* Behavior change: When a REQ socket gets an invalid reply, it used to
discard the message and return EAGAIN. REQ sockets still discard
invalid messages, but keep looking at the next one automatically
until a good one is found or there are no more messages.
* Add test_req_request_ids.
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
- ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLICKEY for clients and servers
- ZMQ_CURVE_SECRETKEY for clients
- ZMQ_CURVE_SERVERKEY for clients
- ZMQ_CURVE_SERVER for servers
- added tools/curve_keygen.c as example
- updated man pages
* 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

the contributions to the man pages.
zmq::xpub_t::xread_activated() – change to process messages without 0
or 1 prefix, but without affecting subscriptions
zmq::xsub_t::xsend() – change to send rather than discard messages
without 0 or 1 prefix, but without affecting subscriptions
