I originally defined the bytes() method for the String class, because it
made it obvious that it's a span of bytes instead of span of characters.
This commit makes this more consistent by defining a bytes() method when
the type of the span is known to be u8.
Additionaly, the cast operator to Bytes is overloaded for ByteBuffer and
such.
This function did a const_cast internally which made the call side look
"safe". This method is removed completely and call sites are replaced
with ByteBuffer::wrap(const_cast<void*>(data), size) which makes the
behaviour obvious.
Previously, we would not care if the handshake timer timed out because
the server was too slow, or because we were too slow, this caused
connections to fail when the system was under heavy load.
This patch fixes this behaviour (and closes#2843) by checking if the
timeout delay was within margin of error of the max timeout.
Adds more TLS 1.2 error descriptions according to the specification:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-7.2.2
This changes the DecryptionFailed description, as the specification
says that this alert should NEVER be sent by a compliant server.
The "ready to write" notifier we set up in generic socket connection is
really only meant to detect a successful connection. Once we have a TCP
connection, for example, it will fire on every event loop iteration.
This was causing IRC Client to max out the CPU by getting this no-op
notifier callback over and over.
Since this was only used by TLSv12, I changed that code to create its
own notifier instead. It might be possible to improve TLS performance
by only processing writes when actually needed, but I didn't look very
closely at that for this patch. :^)
Contrary to popular belief, not every implementation of TLS follows the
specs.
Some of them just drop the connection without sending a proper
close_notify, and we should handle that gracefully.
This is in preparation for the upcoming Galois/Counter mode, which
conventionally has 12 bytes of IV as opposed to CBC's 16 bytes.
...Also fixes a lot of style issues, since the author finally found the
project's clang config file in the repository root :^)
