We should not set cache-control headers on RPC responses. HTTP caching
interacts poorly with resources that are expected to change frequently, or
whose rate of change is unpredictable.
More subtly, all calls to the POST endpoint use the same URL, which means a
cacheable response from one call may actually "hide" an uncacheable response
from a subsequent one. This is less of a problem for the GET endpoints, but
that means the behaviour of RPCs varies depending on which HTTP method your
client happens to use. Websocket requests were already marked statically
uncacheable, adding yet a third combination.
To address this:
- Stop setting cache-control headers.
- Update the tests that were checking for those headers.
- Remove the flags to request cache-control.
Apart from affecting the HTTP response headers, this change does not modify the
behaviour of any of the RPC methods.
* Rename rpctypes.Context to CallInfo.
Add methods to attach and recover this value from a context.Context.
* Rework RPC method handlers to accept "real" contexts.
- Replace *rpctypes.Context arguments with context.Context.
- Update usage of RPC context fields to use CallInfo.
This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
I think calling os.Exit at arbitrary points is _bad_ and is good to
delete. I think panics in the case of data courruption have a chance
of providing useful information.
EDIT: Updated, see [comment below]( https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/6785#issuecomment-897793175)
This change adds a sketch of the `Debug` mode.
This change adds a `Debug` struct to the node package. This `Debug` struct is intended to be created and started by a command in the `cmd` directory. The `Debug` struct runs the RPC server on the data directories: both the state store and the block store.
This change required a good deal of refactoring. Namely, a new `rpc.go` file was added to the `node` package. This file encapsulates functions for starting RPC servers used by nodes. A potential additional change is to further factor this code into shared code _in_ the `rpc` package.
Minor API tweaks were also made that seemed appropriate such as the mechanism for fetching routes from the `rpc/core` package.
Additional work is required to register the `Debug` service as a command in the `cmd` directory but I am looking for feedback on if this direction seems appropriate before diving much further.
closes: #5908
## Description
partially cleanup in preparation for errcheck
i ignored a bunch of defer errors in tests but with the update to go 1.14 we can use `t.Cleanup(func() { if err := <>; err != nil {..}}` to cover those errors, I will do this in pr number two of enabling errcheck.
ref #5059
Migrates the `rpc` package to use new JSON encoder in #4955. Branched off of that PR.
Tests pass, but I haven't done any manual testing beyond that. This should be handled as part of broader 0.34 testing.
