C++14 or later is required to support completion tokens that use
per-operation return type deduction. For C++11, a completion
token's async_result specialisation must still provide the nested
typedef `return_type`.
This changes the interface used to apply a decorator to the HTTP
request or response messages used to perform the WebSocket handshake
as follows:
* Add the `stream_base::decorator` option object
* Add `stream::set_option` overload to set the decorator from
the option
* The decorator applies to all client and server handshakes
performed on the stream after the option is set.
* Overloads of the following functions which accept a Decorator
are deprecated:
- accept, accept_ex
- handshake, handshake_ex
- async_accept, async_accept_ex
- async_handshake, async_handshake_ex
Actions Required:
* Code which passes decorator to any `websocket::stream` member
function should call `stream::set_option` instead with a newly
constructed `stream_base::decorator` object containing the
decorator. Alternatively, the macro `BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED`
may be defined to 1.
* All functionality of stranded_stream is folded into basic_stream
* tcp_stream is an alias for basic_stream with tcp
* The tests are expanded to produce full coverage
* Timeout implementation is simplified
The nested function lowest_layer and nested type lowest_layer_type
are removed from all stream layers.
Actions Required:
* Remove lowest_layer and lowest_layer_type from user-defined streams.
* Use the get_lowest_layer free function and the lowest_layer_type trait
as needed.
* Tidy up and comment asserts
* `pausation` is renamed to saved_handler
* A work guard on the handler's associated executor
is maintained for the lifetime of the store handler.

This enables users to improve compilation performance by explicitly
instantiating the stream template in another TU.

This resolves a medium vulnerability described in the
Beast Hybrid Assessment Report by Bishop Fox, where masks generated
for use with outgoing WebSocket client frames use an insufficient
source of entropy and a non-cryptographically secure pseudo-random
number generator.
By default, all newly constructed WebSocket streams will use a
uniquely seeded secure PRNG (ChaCha20 in counter mode). As this may
result in increased CPU resource consumption, the function
websocket::stream::secure_prng() may be used to select a faster but
less secure PRNG, for the case where the caller knows that the secure
generator is not necessary.
On some systems, std::random_device may produce insufficient entropy
to securely seed the PRNG. As this condition cannot be detected by
Beast, callers may use the function websocket::seed_prng() called
once at startup to provide at least 256 bits of entropy which will
be used to uniquely seed all subsequent PRNGs.
fix#941, fix#1016
`get_lowest_layer` is now a type alias for the
lowest layer instead of a struct with a nested type.
Actions required:
* Replace instances of `typename get_lowest_layer<T>::type`
with `get_lowest_layer<T>`.
fix#949
* New error codes are introduced for WebSocket failures
* More verbose messages for error codes
* Error codes are mapped to conditions for ease of testing
* error::failed and error::handshake_failed are deprecated (don't use)
Actions Required:
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::handshake_failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::handshake_failed` instead.
* Code which explicitly compares error_code values against the
constant `websocket::error::failed` should compare
against `websocket::condition::protocol_violation` instead.
fix#849
This adds an additional `bool` template parameter to
`websocket::stream`:
* When deflateSupported is `true`, the stream will be capable
of negotiating the permessage-deflate websocket extension per
the configured run-time settings.
* When deflateSupported is `false`, the stream will never negotiate
the permessage-deflate websocket extension. Furthermore, all of the
code necessary for implementing the permessage-deflate extension
will be excluded from function instantiations. The resulting emitted
object code should be smaller.
Split the websocket read test to reduce compile time memory usage
by a small amount, which ought to be enough to let it compile in
a constrained environment like Travis.
