Of course people still "can" distributed the sources under the
LGPLv3. However we provide COPYING.LESSER with additional grants.
Solution: specify these grants in the header of each source file.
- renamed to ZMQ_CONNECT_RID
- fixed whitespace malformating around previous patch
- renamamed next_peer_id to next_rid in preparation for
larger rename of IDENTITY to ROUTING_ID
Note: ZMQ_CONNECT_RID has no test case and no entry in the man
page, as yet.
This change simply provides the user with a socket option that sets a user defined name of the next outbound connection:
zmq_setsockopt(routerSock,ZMQ_NEXT_IDENTITY,"myname",6);
if(0 > zmq_connect(routerSock,"tcp://127.0.0.1:1234")) return 1;
ret = zmq_send(routerSock,"myname",6,ZMQ_SNDMORE);
zmq_send(routerSock,b.mem,b.used,0);
In this example, the socket is immediately given the name "myname", and is capable of immediately sending traffic.
This approach is more effective in three ways:
1) It prevents all sorts of malicious peer naming attacks that can cause undefined behavior in existing ROUTER connections. (Two connections are made that both transmit the same name to the ROUTER, the ROUTER behavior is undefined)
2) It allows immediate control of connections made to external parties for STREAM sockets. Something that is not possible right now. Before an outbound connection had no name for STREAM or ROUTER sockets because outbound connections cannot be sent to without first receiving traffic.
3) It is simpler and more general than expecting two ROUTER sockets to handshake on assigned connection names. Plus it allows inline sending to new connections on ROUTER.
icanhasall is cute (for now), but the effect of the variable is clear
only after tracking down its origin reading the commit. This change is
intended to make it easier for people to have some intuition about its
effect from its name.
- 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
