Re: [Cppcms-users] getting real ip of client

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

There is request().remote_address() that helps you to deal with.

If your run behind reverse proxy, such proxies usually define headers
like X-Real-IP headers that are set to variables like HTTP_X_REAL_IP.

HTTP Proxies usually handle this correctly preventing hijacking 
such headers.

If you use internal HTTP web server take a look on 


http://cppcms.com/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_config#http.proxy.remote_addr_headers

That allow request().remote_address() behave as expected

[Cppcms-users] getting real ip of client

[kpeo <sla...@ya...>]

Hello,

Is there any way to check in CppCMS application whether client connection is local or remote (or just get real ip of client connection)?
Because any request environment like HTTP_CLIENT_IP can be faked and required low-level aio functions to get connection IP, that inaccessible in the application/service/request classes.

This actually brings up another question about transactions.

I understand transactions work this way -

cppdb::transaction tr(sql)
sql << "INSERT INTO ......" << cppdb::exec
sql << "INSERT INTO ......" << cppdb::exec
tr.commit()

What if you can't use the syntatic sugar but have to deal with statements
directly? Ive tried

cppdb::transaction tr(sql)
cppdb::statement st = sql.prepare("...");
st.bind(...)
st.bind(...)
st.exec()

cppdb::statement st2 = sql.prepare("...")
st.bind(...)
st.exec()

tr.commit()

This throws an exception saying

sqlite3:cannot rollback transaction - SQL statements in progress

What's the proper way?

I understand that however what if you need to do something like this -

cppdb::statement st;
st = sql.prepare(...)

st << one << two;

if (condition is true)
   st << three << four
else
   st << five << six
end

st.exec()

In this case do I have to store all the variables on the function stack
before passing them to statement?

No, this is a very important performance optimization.

Consider the string of size of 50k - like article or
some other data. Copying `std::string` would require
both memory allocation and memory copy.

More than that when you work with multiple strings each
such copy semantics triggers a memory allocation that 
costs a lot, at least with C++11 string semantics 
were Copy-On-Write is forbidden.

That is why you should keep the reference valid.

BTW: You can do all this in one line

  sql << "INSERT ..." << ... << r.get<string>("date_action")) << ... << cppdb::exec;

This would be valid as the return value remains withing the statement.

[Cppcms-users] statement::bind can be deceptive/dangerous

[<ele...@ex...>]

I was trying to figure out why

st.prepare(....)
....
st.bind(5, r.get<string>("date_action"));
....
st.exec()

in my code produces unpredictable behaviour untill I read in the
documentation that -

Note: the reference to the string MUST remain valid until the statement is
queried or executed!

In my code im copying some old rows into new rows and
r.get<string>("date_action") returns the letter "R" but after it got
binded to the new statement it was showing "l" which puzzled me to no-end
as to why, but if I did

string wtf = r.get<string>("date_action");
st.bind(5, wtf);

it worked fine.

Should statement::bind be using value instead of reference semantics?

Of course you can.

But:

1. Creation of a new thread is heavy procedure, it is much better 
   and faster to submit a job to a pool

2. If you create too many threads it may cost a lot, thread pool
   would just enqueue the job that would be executed at some point,
   of the pool is too busy.

3. The size of the CppCMS's thread pool is optimized for run-time hardware
   concurrency

So it is your choice :-)

Yes, http://cppcms.com/cppcms_ref/latest/classcppcms_1_1thread__pool.html

thread_pool::post receives a booster::function - the template object
that can be created from any function-like object, including std::function.

When the result of the thread is ready, post a job (some other callback)
to the event loop using booster::aio::io_service::post. It would allow
you to handle completion of the job in the pool.

This post method receives generic callback as well.

[Cppcms-users] thread_pool questions

[Marcel H. <ke...@co...>]

Hi everyone,

my last idea was to extend the thread pool and have some questions about it.

As far as I know, async methods should not run too long, because they 
block the entire service loop, right?!

Also i have some other questions:

At first: Could i "avoid" the thread pool and create a std::thread 
instead? (Maybe i can give the thread pool a reference the thread object)

Second: Would it be possible to give a std::function object to the 
thread_pool?

Third: What about callbacks? If a thread is finished you could define a 
callback where you can define further operations (like evaluating the 
result of the thread)

Regards

Re: [Cppcms-users] Advice on debugging file upload

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

In order to get a trace the exception that is thrown should be derived from booster::runtime_error class.

CppDB is independent library that does not share the stack trace code with CppCMS, that
is why you can't get a backtrace from CppDB. It is not supported.

Also I'd recommend to use latest trunk, it has better support for backtracing
(not based on execinfo) that works on BSD and Mac OS X as well

Re: [Cppcms-users] cppdb::result::get problem

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Hi


There is full support of colum names


But you should refer to your engine documentation to see what the actual name is:


In general the drivers use following API:

sqlite3: sqlite3_column_name
postgresql: PQfnumber
mysql: mysql_fetch_fields
odbc: SQLDescribeCol


So if you do not get expected result you can debug it by converting column indexes
to names and see what names are actually in use. cppdb::result::name would give you 
then names and then see what is wrong. 

In general using column names is much slower then using index, as it requires
name - to index lookup.

Re: [Cppcms-users] cppdb::result::get problem

[Lee E. <lee...@gm...>]

Here is my uneducated guess:

you want to be able to get to the columnA (assuming it is a unique column)
as both: "st.columnA" and "columnA"
in order to do that you need to maintain the "st" table name for each
colunm, and you need to parse the column name instead of just compare it.
or alternatively you need to have several names for the same column.
on the face of it it looks like the type of programming done in management
environments and not in C++ - since just supporting those two names will
mean slowing down access time to the columns.

it gets worse - in order to keep that table name - the CppDB needs to
actually parse the columns and table parts of the select statements instead
of just passing it along to the db. again more work for a very limited gain.

as a general rule - i try to avoid select * in my code. i prefer to list
the columns one by one either in the SP or in the query and if you do that
- you can give the columns unique names

Do you mean the "CSRF Validation Failed" message?

Re: [Cppcms-users] Suggestion: warn if csrf enabled but missing

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Such feature would require parsing HTML and it may be not even possible
when for example form is rendered from different locations.

I thought about it, even thought how to automatize the process
but it does not seems to be feasible.


Also note, if the form update fails you should see a notice

[Cppcms-users] Stack Backtrace

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

The backtrace is improved in CppCMS trunk - switched to use libgcc's _Unwind_Backtrace
that gives accurate results even when the software compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer.

Updated stack tracing on FreeBSD and improved it on Solaris and Mac OS X.

If it works good I'll add this to the stable release.

Note, if somebody wants to try he is welcome to use trunk or take
a chagneset 2171

Hi,

This is just a suggestion -

I just spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why I get forbidden

I completely forgot about adding <% csrf %> to the form.

It would be great if a warning was logged that csrf is enabled but token

use cron or some other mechanism to trigger a request to maintanance URL to
the application.
and activation of wget or similar application with the proper URL can be
done from cron - and will give the CppCMS all the necesary context request
and response objects it needs.
In addition it will make debugging and running maintanance jobs manually
much easier

Ok...

You had bring up very interesting point and actually the
problem in the CppCMS's API.

You can't access cache interface without context, however
it should be possible to do some actions on the cache
itself as it is not 100% binded to request/response.

This is some important point to implement and it requires
a feature request in the bug tracking system :-)

As it seems to be a design flaw I'll try to take a look on it
ASAP.


As a workaround for you at this point:
-------------------------------------


Have you tried to use cache timeouts instead of "cron job"

Every object stored in cache may have expiration timeout,
it is the best way to invalidate cache by time.

Take a look on general AIO examples. Best is something like create some object
and then access to its memeber function that starts timers.

class my_obj {
public:
   my_obj(booster::aio::io_service &s) : timer_(s) {}
   void async_run()
   {
        timer_.async_wait(...)

   }
   void on_timeout(...)
   {

       timer_.async_wait(...)

   }


private

  booster::aio::deadline_timer timer_;

};


.......

   try {
      cppcms::service srv(argc,argv);

      // this is your cron job

      my_obj obj(srv.get_io_service());
      obj.async_run();

      srv.run();

   }

Are you doing something blocking or do you do some heavy computations?

Go to thread pool, otherwise do it in event loop.


Rising a trigger may be quite heavy if it invalidates many values.

Maybe i have to be more specific. I don't want to access the context in 
general, i want access to the cache, to rise some triggers.
> Just create a event using deadline_timer,
but where to "start" this event? If I start it within the constructor of 
the async event, this would be wrong, wouldn't it? (this is how i get

what is very short in your opinion? Any suggestions when to execute it 
in the thread pool and when not?

Re: [Cppcms-users] Virtual hosts

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

	1.  Register to mailing list so I would not have to moderate your questions

	2.  In terms of performance Wt is not even close to what CppCMS has to offer:

	* Wt does not even supports caching
	* Wt's session model is not scalable at all
	* All the "GUI-like" concept does not fit high performance models
	3. The best to run CppCMS application behind a web server, so it is up to the web server to handle virtual hosts, also if you look at cppcms::mount_point documentation you'll see how to handle virtual hosts withing CppCMS itself.
