Adds a regression test for the wallet's ResendWalletTransactions function, which uses a new, hidden RPC command "resendwallettransactions."
I refactored main's Broadcast signal so it is passed the best-block time, which let me remove a global variable shared between main.cpp and the wallet (nTimeBestReceived).
I also manually tested the "rebroadcast unconfirmed every half hour or so" functionality by:
1. Running bitcoind -connect=0.0.0.0:8333
2. Creating a couple of send-to-self transactions
3. Connect to a peer using -addnode
4. Waited a while, monitoring debug.log, until I see:
```2015-03-23 18:48:10 ResendWalletTransactions: rebroadcast 2 unconfirmed transactions```
One last change: don't bother putting ResendWalletTransactions messages in debug.log unless unconfirmed transactions were actually rebroadcast.
Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without
sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places.
This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs,
especially with printtoconsole in use.
Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.
Rebased by @laanwj:
- update for RPC methods added since 84d13ee: setmocktime,
invalidateblock, reconsiderblock. Only the first, setmocktime, required a change,
the other two are thread safe.
This avoids a regression for issues like #334 where high speed
repeated connections eventually run the HTTP client out of
sockets because all of theirs end up in time_wait.
Maybe the trade-off here is suboptimal, but if both choices will
fail then we prefer fewer changes until the root cause is solved.
It turns out that some miners have been staying with old versions of
Bitcoin Core because their software behaves poorly with persistent
connections and the Bitcoin Core thread and connection limits.
What happens is that underlying HTTP libraries leave connections open
invisibly to their users and then the user runs into the default four
thread limit. This looks like Bitcoin Core is unresponsive to RPC.
There are many things that should be improved in Bitcoin Core's behavior
here, e.g. supporting more concurrent connections, not tying up threads
for idle connections, disconnecting kept-alive connections when limits
are reached, etc. All are fairly big, risky changes.
Disabling keep-alive is a simple workaround. It's often not easy to turn
off the keep-alive support in the client where it may be buried in some
platform library.
If you are one of the few who really needs persistent connections you
probably know that you want them and can find a switch; while if you
don't and the misbehavior is hitting you it is hard to discover the
source of your problems is keepalive related. Given that it is best
to default to off until they're handled better.
TLS is subject to downgrade attacks when SSLv3 is available, and
SSLv3 has vulnerabilities.
The popular solution is to disable SSLv3. On the web this breaks
some tiny number of very old clients. While Bitcoin RPC shouldn't
be exposed to the open Internet, it also shouldn't be exposed to
really old SSL implementations, so it shouldn't be a major issue
for us to disable SSLv3.
There is more information on the downgrade attacks and disabling
SSLv3 at https://disablessl3.com/ .

Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup
initialisations like loading the block index. Until the node is ready,
return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup"
with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message).
This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g.,
they don't have to start it) but not yet available. It is used in
Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI
hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
The size limit makes a lot of sense for the server, as it never has to
accept very large data.
The client, however, can request arbitrary amounts of data with
`listtransactions` on a large wallet.
Fixes#4604.
Split up HTTPReply into HTTPReply and HTTPReplyHeader, so that
the message data can be streamed directly.
Also removes a c_str(), which would have prevented binary
output with NUL characters in it.
Port over https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/19 from
Huntercoin: This implements a new RPC command "getchaintips" that can be
used to find all currently active chain heads. This is similar to the
-printblocktree startup option, but it can be used without restarting
just via the RPC interface on a running daemon.

6354935 move rand functions from util to new random.h/.cpp (Philip Kaufmann)
001a53d add GetRandBytes() as wrapper for RAND_bytes() (Philip Kaufmann)
This removes some inconsistencies in what worked and didn't work in
safemode. Now only RPCs involved in getting balances or sending
funds are disabled.
Previously you could mine but not submit blocks— but we may need more
blocks to resolve a fork that triggered safe mode in the first place,
and the non-submission was not reliable since some miners submit
blocks via multiple means. There were also a number of random commands
disabled that had nothing to do with the blockchain like verifymessage.
Thanks to earlz for pointing out that there were some moderately cheap
ways to maliciously trigger safe mode, which brought attention to
the fact that safemode wasn't used in a very intelligent way.
- add a small wrapper in util around RAND_bytes() and replace with
GetRandBytes() in the code to log errors from calling RAND_bytes()
- remove OpenSSL header rand.h where no longer needed

2935b21 qt: Hide unspendable outputs in coin control (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
c898846 Add support for watch-only addresses (Pieter Wuille)
Changes:
* Add Add/Have WatchOnly methods to CKeyStore, and implementations
in CBasicKeyStore.
* Add similar methods to CWallet, and support entries for it in
CWalletDB.
* Make IsMine in script/wallet return a new enum 'isminetype',
rather than a boolean. This allows distinguishing between
spendable and unspendable coins.
* Add a field fSpendable to COutput (GetAvailableCoins' return type).
* Mark watchonly coins in listunspent as 'watchonly': true.
* Add 'watchonly' to validateaddress, suppressing script/pubkey/...
in this case.

After pull #4288, RPC messages indicating errors have a Content-Length unrelated
to their actual contents, rendering bitcoin-cli and curl unable to decode the
reply.
This patch sets the Content-Length field based on the actual content returned.
Additionally, pull #4288 clobbered the error descriptions provided in
ErrorReply, which bitcoin-cli relies upon; this patch moves #4288 http-error
descriptions to an HTTPError method, allowing HTTPReply to pass content on
unchanged.
