If InOut filters were placed next to each other then the second filter would never get a NULL input signaling it to flush. This arrangement only worked if the second filter had some other indication that it should flush, such as a decompression filter where the flush is indicated in the input stream.
This is not a live issue because currently no InOut filters are chained together.
This allows CipherBlock to be used as a filter in an IoFilterGroup. The C-style functions used by Perl are now deprecated and should not be used for any new code.
Also add functions to convert between cipher names and CipherType.
Add boolean and one-dimensional list types to jsonToKv().
Add varToJson() and kvToJson() to convert Variants and KeyValues to JSON.

The only change required was to remove the filter that prevented S3 storage from being used. The archive-get command did not require any modification which demonstrates that the storage interface is working as intended.
The mock/archive/3 integration test was modified to run S3 storage locally to provide coverage for the new code paths while mock/stanza/3 was modified to run S3 storage remotely to provide coverage for the existing code paths. This caused some churn in the expect logs but there was no change in behavior.
TlsClient introduced a non-blocking read which is required to read protocol messages that are linefeed-terminated rather than a known size. However, in many cases the expected number of bytes is known in advance so in that case it is more efficient to have tlsClientRead() block until all the bytes are read.
Add block parameter to all read functions and use it when a blocking read is required. For most read functions this is a noop, i.e. if the read function never blocks then it can ignore the parameter.
In passing, set the log level of storageNew*() functions to debug to expose more high-level I/O operations.
A robust HTTP client with pipelining support and automatic retries.
Using a single object to make multiple requests is more efficient because requests are pipelined whenever possible. Requests are automatically retried when the connection has been closed by the server. Any 5xx response is also retried.
Only the HTTPS protocol is currently supported.
A simple, secure TLS client intended to allow access to services that are exposed via HTTPS. We call it TLS instead of SSL because SSL methods are disabled so only TLS connections are allowed.
This object is intended to be used for multiple TLS connections against a service so tlsClientOpen() can be called each time a new connection is needed. By default, an open connection will be reused for pipelining so the user must be prepared to retry their transaction on a read/write error if the server closes the connection before it can be reused. If this behavior is not desirable then tlsClientClose() may be used to ensure that the next call to tlsClientOpen() will create a new TLS session.
Note that tlsClientRead() is non-blocking unless there are *zero* bytes to be read from the session in which case it will raise an error after the defined timeout. In any case the tlsClientRead()/tlsClientWrite()/tlsClientEof() functions should not generally be called directly. Instead use the read/write interfaces available from tlsClientIoRead()/tlsClientIoWrite().
Test certificates were generated dynamically but there are advantages to using static certificates. For example, it possible to use the same certificate between container versions. Mostly, it is easier to document the certificates if they are not buried deep in the container code.
The new test certificates are initially intended to be used with the C unit tests but they will eventually be used for integration tests as well.
Two new certificates have been defined. See test/certificate/README.md for details.
The old dynamic certificates will be retained until they are replaced.
The embedded semicolon led to inconsistent semicolons when using the macro and is not our general convention.
Remove embedded semicolons from the macros and add semicolons in usage where they were not present.
Add XmlDocument, XmlNode, and XmlNodeList objects as a thin interface layer on libxml2.
This interface is not intended to be comprehensive. Only a few libxml2 capabilities are exposed but more can be added as needed.
S3 key options (repo1-s3-key/repo1-s3-key-secret) were not required which meant that users got an ugly assertion when they were missing rather than a tidy configuration error.
Only the local/remote commands need them to be optional. This is because local/remote commands get all their options from the command line but secrets cannot be passed on the command line. Instead, secrets are passed to the local/remote commands via the protocol for any operation that needs them.
The configuration system allows required to be set per command so use that to improve the error messages while not breaking the local/remote commands.
This allows a C unit test to access data in the code repository that might be useful for testing.
Add testRepoPathSet() to set the repository path.
In passing remove extra whitespace in the TEST_RESULT_VOID() macro.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix issue with archive-push-queue-max not being honored on connection error. (Reported by Lardière Sébastien.)
* Fix static WAL segment size used to determine if archive-push-queue-max has been exceeded.
* Fix error after log file open failure when processing should continue. (Reported by vthriller.)
Features:
* Automatically enable backup checksum delta when anomalies (e.g. timeline switch) are detected. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
Improvements:
* Retry all S3 5xx errors rather than just 500 internal errors. (Suggested by Craig A. James.)
These interfaces previously used the memory context of the object they were associated with and did not have their own destructors.
There are times when it is useful to free the interface without also freeing the underlying object so give IoRead and IoWrite their own memory contexts and destructors.
In passing fix a comment type in bufferRead.c.
By default the IoWrite object does not write until the output buffer is full but this is a problem for protocol messages that must be sent in order to get a response.
ioWriteFlush() is not called internally by IoWrite but can be used at any time to immediately write all bytes from the output buffer without closing the IoWrite object.
Documentation block syntax requires that at least one var be specified.
This limitation should be removed but for now add a comment to describe why a bogus var is defined.
The prior message stated that there had been a buffer overrun which is not true since the code prevents that.
In fact, this message means the parameter buffer filled while building the parameter list. Rather than display a partial list we output this message instead.
Also remove !!! which by convention we use as a marker for code that needs attention before it can be committed to master.
These macros provide a convenient way to output debug information in tests.
They are not intended to be left in test code when it is committed to master.
ioReadLine() calls ioRead(), which aggressively tries to fill the output buffer, but this doesn't play well with blocking reads.
Give ioReadLine() an option that tells it to read only what is available. That doesn't mean the function will never block but at least it won't do so by reading too far.
The report HTML generated by lcov is overly verbose and cumbersome to navigate. Since we maintain 100% coverage it's far more interesting to look at what is not covered than what is.
The new report presents all missing coverage on a single page and excludes code that is covered for brevity.
Add HTML tags for table elements.
The strExtra parameter allows adhoc tags to be added to an element for features that can't be implemented with CSS, e.g. colspan.
There are many places (and the number is growing) where a zero-terminated string constant must be transformed into a String object to be usable. This pattern wastes time and memory, especially since the created string is generally used in a read-only fashion.
Define macros to create constant String objects that are initialized at compile time rather than at run time.
The storageList() command accepts a regular expression as a filter. This works fine for local filesystems where it is relatively cheap to get a complete list of files and filter them in code. However, for remote filesystems like S3 it can be expensive to fetch a complete list of files only to discard the bulk of them locally.
S3 does not filter on regular expressions but it can accept a static prefix so this function extracts a prefix from a regular expression when possible.
Even a few characters can drastically reduce the amount of data that must be fetched remotely so the function does not try to be too clever. It requires a ^ anchor and stops scanning when the first special character is found.
