Main Changes:
- Implement a socket transport layer for use by all code that needs to open
some kind of "special" socket for network or IPC.
- Extensions can register (and override) transports.
- Implement ftruncate() on streams via the ioctl-alike option interface.
- Implement mmap() on streams via the ioctl-alike option interface.
- Implement generic crypto API via the ioctl-alike option interface.
(currently only supports OpenSSL, but could support other SSL toolkits,
and other crypto transport protocols).
Impact:
- tcp sockets can be overloaded by the openssl capable sockets at runtime,
removing the link-time requirement for ssl:// and https:// sockets and
streams.
- checking stream types using PHP_STREAM_IS_SOCKET is deprecated, since
there are now a range of possible socket-type streams.
Working towards:
- socket servers using the new transport layer
- mmap support under win32
- Cleaner code.
# I will be updating the win32 build to add the new files shortly
# after this commit.
windows sockets. The winsock implementation will only work with sockets;
our implementation works with sockets and file descriptors.
By association, stream_select() will now operate correctly with files, pipes and sockets.
This change required linking against the winsock2 library. In terms of
compatibility, only older versions of windows 95 do not have winsock2
installed by default. It is available as a redistributable file, and is most likely installed by any OS patches (eg: Internet Explorer) applied by the user.
Also, add a win32 compatible pipe test when opening a stream from a pipe. This test will only work on NT, win2k and XP platforms. Without this test, interleaved fread() and select() calls would cause the read buffer to be clobbered. I will be working on a fix for this issue for win9x.
and warnings (some of which are bogus) when there are problems opening
streams.
Implement sanity check on the mode used to open ftp and http connections.
This fixes Bug 12004.
Add is_url field to wrapper structure; the stream wrapper openers
will disallow opening is is_url && !PG(allow_url_fopen).
Add infrastructure for stat($url) and opendir($url).
Tidy up/centralize code that locates and instantiates wrappers for the
various operations.
Implement opendir for plain files.
Make the PHP opendir and dir functions use the streams implementations.
Add modelines for syntax highlighting the pear scripts in vim
- comfiguration is now done by an ini parameter
instead of a compile time option
- the implementations of the three standard wrappers
now live in seperate files in ext/standard
- the compiler is happy again, no more warnings
