This reverts commit bd30c3dced21fca869a14c75081f15195762afe1.
Disable windows RPC tests for now. These should be re-enabled once a
suitable Wine version is used on Travis.
Split StartHTTPServer into InitHTTPServer and StartHTTPServer to give
clients a window to register their handlers without race conditions.
Thanks @ajweiss for figuring this out.
Implement RPCTimerHandler for Qt RPC console, so that `walletpassphrase`
works with GUI and `-server=0`.
Also simplify HTTPEvent-related code by using boost::function directly.
Zcash: QT changes ommitted
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
Bitcoin 0.12 mempool memory usage PRs
Cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6410
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6453
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6013 (excludes changes to docs we deleted)
Part of #2074.
Introduce Rust/librustzcash into the zcash build system
Introduces Rust into the build system and brings a trivial xor operation into the code (near where we will likely be working).
Removed markdown from COPYING
Updated the Copyright statement at the top of the file from "2016" to "2016-2017" and removed markdown markup from the main text.
- Add height parameter to z_importkey to reduce rescan range
- Change semantics of rescan parameter, so users can explicitly force a rescan
for existing keys.
Closes#2032
