- This seems redundant; is there a use case for NOT providing
the IPC credentials to the ZAP authenticator?
- More, why is IPC authentication done via libzmq instead of ZAP?
Is it because we're missing the transport type on the ZAP request?
Another take on LIBZMQ-568 to allow filtering IPC connections, this time
using ZAP. This change is backward compatible. If the
ZMQ_ZAP_IPC_CREDS option is set, the user, group, and process IDs of the
peer process are appended to the address (separated by colons) of a ZAP
request; otherwise, nothing changes. See LIBZMQ-568 and zmq_setsockopt
documentation for more information.
* ZMQ_REQ_STRICT was negative option (default 1) which goes against
the standard, where defaults are zero. I renamed this to
ZMQ_REQ_RELAXED.
* ZMQ_REQ_REQUEST_IDS felt clumsy and describes the technical solution
rather than the problem/requirement. I changed to ZMQ_REQ_CORRELATE
which seems more explicit.
* 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.

This patch, salvaged from a trainwreck accidental merge earlier, adds a
new sockopt, ZMQ_DELAY_ATTACH_ON_CONNECT which prevents a end point
being available to push messages to until it has fully connected, making
connect work more like bind. This also applies to reconnecting sockets,
which may cause message loss of in-queue messages, so it is sensible to
use this in conjunction with a low HWM and potentially an alternative
acknowledgement path.
Notes on most of the individual commits can be found the repository log.
This patch adds a sockopt ZMQ_DELAY_ATTACH_ON_CONNECT, which if set to 1 will attempt to preempt this behavior. It does this by extending the use of the session_base to include in the outbound as well as the inbound pipe, and only associates the pipe with the socket once it receives the connected callback via a process_attach message. This works, and a test has been added to show so, but may introduce unexpected complications. The shutdown logic in this class has become marginally more awkward because of this, requiring the session to serve as the sink for both pipes if shutdown occurs with a still-connecting pipe in place. It is also possible there could be issues around flushing the messages, but as I could not directly think how to create such an issue I have not written any code with regards to that.
The documentation has been updated to reflect the change, but please do check over the code and test and review.
Assign arbitrary number of filters that will be applied for each new TCP transport
connection on a listening socket.
If no filters applied, then TCP transport allows connections from any ip.
If at least one filter is applied then new connection source ip should be matched.
To clear all filters call zmq_setsockopt(socket, ZMQ_TCP_ACCEPT_FILTER, NULL, 0).
Filter is a null-terminated string with ipv6 or ipv4 CIDR.
For example:
localhost
127.0.0.1
mail.ru/24
::1
::1/128
3ffe:1::
3ffe:1::/56
Returns -1 if the filter couldn't be assigned(format error or ipv6 filter with ZMQ_IPV4ONLY set)
P.S.
The only thing that worries me is that I had to re-enable 'default assign by reference constructor/operator'
for 'tcp_address_t' (and for my inherited class tcp_address_mask_t) to store it in std::vector in 'options_t'...
This patch is meant to prevent users from running out of memory

The filtering is now done depending on the socket type. SUB socket
filters the messages (end-to-end filtering) while XSUB relies
on upstream nodes to do (imprefect) filtering.

This option is a performance tweak. In devices XSUB socket filters
the messages just to send them to XPUB socket which filters them
once more. Setting ZMQ_FILTER option to 0 allows to switch the
filtering in XSUB socket off.

On-disk storage should be implemented in devices rather than
in 0MQ core. 0MQ is a networking library and there's no point
in storing network buffers on disk.

Multicast loopback is not a real multicast, rather a kernel-space
simulation. Moreover, it tends to be rather unreliable and lossy.
Removing the option will force users to use transports better
suited for the job, such as inproc or ipc.

The new option allows user to guard against peers sending
oversized messages. Connection to peer sending oversized message
is dropped.

For very high-speed message systems, the memory used for recovery can get to
be very large. The corrent limitation on that reduction is the ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL
of 1 sec. I added in an additional option ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL_MSEC, which is the
Recovery Interval in milliseconds. If used, this will override the previous
one, and allow you to set a sub-second recovery interval. If not set, the
default behavior is to use ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL.

1. ZMQ_LINGER option can be set/get
2. options are part of own_t base class rather than being declared
separately by individual objects
3. Linger option is propagated with "term" command so that the
newest value of it is used rather than the stored old one.
4. Session sets the linger timer if needed and terminates
as soon as it expires.
5. Corresponding documentation updated.
