node 0.9.6 introduced Buffer changes that cause the key argument of
Hmac::HmacInit (used in crypto.createHmac) to be NULL when the key is
empty. This argument is passed to OpenSSL's HMAC_Init, which does not
like NULL keys.
This change works around the issue by passing an empty string to
HMAC_Init when the key is empty, and adds crypto.createHmac tests for
the edge cases of empty keys and values.
This is causing the CryptoStreams to get into an awful state when
there is a tight loop calling connection.write(chunk) waiting for
a false return.
Because CryptoStreams use read(0) to cycle data, this was causing
the encrypted side to pull way too much data in from the cleartext
side, since the read(0) would make it always call _read.
The unfortunate side effect, fixed in the next patch, is that
CryptoStreams don't automatically cycle when the Socket drains.
Let ECONNRESET network errors bubble up so clients can detect them.
Commit c4454d2e suppressed and turned them into regular end-of-stream
events to fix the then-failing simple/test-regress-GH-1531 test. See
also issue #1571 for (scant) details.
It turns out that special handling is no longer necessary. Remove the
special casing and let the error bubble up naturally.
pummel/test-https-ci-reneg-attack and pummel/test-tls-ci-reneg-attack
are updated because they expected an EPIPE error code that is now an
ECONNRESET. Suppression of the ECONNRESET prevented the test from
detecting that the connection has been severed whereupon the next
write would fail with an EPIPE.
Fixes#1776.
Fix an exception that was raised when the WriteStream was closed
immediately after creating it:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'fd' of undefined
at WriteStream.close (fs.js:1537:18)
<snip>
Avoid the TypeError and make sure the file descriptor is closed.
Fixes#4745.
Don't run the 'has function been called?' checks if the test is exiting
with an error because a failed check will mask the real exception.
v0.8 doesn't have the _fatalException machinery in src/node.js and
src/node.cc so it doesn't have this issue.
Convert the Buffer to an ArrayBuffer. The typed_array.buffer property
should be an ArrayBuffer to avoid confusion: a Buffer doesn't have a
byteLength property and more importantly, its slice() method works
subtly different.
That means that before this commit:
var buf = new Buffer(1);
var arr = new Int8Array(buf);
assert.equal(arr.buffer, buf);
assert(arr.buffer instanceof Buffer);
And now:
var buf = new Buffer(1);
var arr = new Int8Array(buf);
assert.notEqual(arr.buffer, buf);
assert(arr.buffer instanceof ArrayBuffer);
Noteworthy installer improvements provided here:
* Support in the Installer UI for not installing shortcuts.
* Support in the Installer UI for choosing a custom install directory.
* Command line support for not installing shortcuts (ADDDEFAULT=nodejs)
* Command line support for custom install directory (INSTALLDIR=c:\tools\node)
http.ServerRequest and http.ClientResponse are merged into http.IncomingMessage
which has fields for both, and acts as a Readable Stream and EventEmitter.
Fixes#3851.
This is commit 01ee551, except for the DataView type this time.
Make the behavior of DataView consistent with that of typed arrays:
make a copy of the backing store.
Otherwise sockets that are 'finish'ed won't be unpiped and `writing to
ended stream` error will arise.
This might sound unrealistic, but it happens in net.js. When
`socket.allowHalfOpen === false`, EOF will cause `.destroySoon()` call which
ends the writable side of net.Socket.
Check that having a worker bind to a port that's already taken doesn't
leave the master process in a confused state. Releasing the port and
trying again should Just Work[TM].
Follow browser behavior, only share the backing store when it's a
ArrayBuffer. That is:
var abuf = new ArrayBuffer(32);
var a = new Int8Array(abuf);
var b = new Int8Array(abuf);
a[0] = 0;
b[0] = 1;
assert(a[0] === b[0]); // a and b share memory
But:
var a = new Int8Array(32);
var b = new Int8Array(a);
a[0] = 0;
b[0] = 1;
assert(a[0] !== b[0]); // a and b don't share memory
The typed arrays spec allows both `a[0] === b[0]` and `a[0] !=== b[0]`
but Chrome and Firefox implement the behavior where memory is not
shared.
Copying the memory is less efficient but let's do it anyway for the
sake of the Principle of Least Surprise.
Fixes#4714.
This is more backwards-compatible with stream1 streams like `fs.WriteStream`
which would allow a callback function to be passed in as the only argument.
Closes#4719.
Inform V8 that the zlib context object is tied to a large off-heap buffer.
This makes the GC run more often (in theory) and improves the accuracy of
--trace_external_memory.
In zlibBuffer(), don't wait for the garbage collector to reclaim the zlib memory
but release it manually. Reduces memory consumption by a factor of 10 or more
with some workloads.
Test case:
function f() {
require('zlib').deflate('xxx', g);
}
function g() {
setTimeout(f, 5);
}
f();
Observe RSS memory usage with and without this commit. After 10,000 iterations,
RSS stabilizes at ~35 MB with this commit. Without, RSS is over 300 MB and keeps
growing.
Cause: whenever the JS object heap hits the high-water mark, the V8 GC sweeps
it clean, then tries to grow it in order to avoid more sweeps in the near
future. Rule of thumb: the bigger the JS heap, the lazier the GC can be.
A side effect of a bigger heap is that objects now live longer. This is harmless
in general but it affects zlib context objects because those are tied to large
buffers that live outside the JS heap, on the order of 16K per context object.
Ergo, don't wait for the GC to reclaim the memory - it may take a long time.
Fixes#4172.
