define HTTP request methods at module level outside of class

This is a refactor to prepare for matching the API of HTTPRequest
definitions in both namespaces http_bitcoin and http_libevent. In
particular, to provide a consistent return type for GetRequestMethod()
in both classes.

73/100 · AdequateMessage clarity
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit is a straightforward code cleanup: it moves the list of HTTP request methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, UNKNOWN) out of a class and into a shared module-level type so two different parts of the codebase can use the same definitions. There is no security-relevant behavior change.

Lower-priorityrefactor: split http_request_cb into libevent callback and dispatchby Matthew Zipkin · fec6b6bc · Jun 22, 2026 · 1 fileMessage 85 · StrongInformational 15Details
Commit message · Matthew Zipkin

refactor: split http_request_cb into libevent callback and dispatch

The original function is passed to libevent as a callback when HTTP
requests are received and processed. It wrapped the libevent request
object in a http_libevent::HTTPRequest and then handed that off to
bitcoin for basic checks and finally dispatch to worker threads.

In this commit we split the function after the
http_libevent::HTTPRequest is created, and pass that object to a new
function that maintains the logic of checking and dispatching.

This will be the merge point for http_libevent and http_bitcoin,
where HTTPRequest objects from either namespace have the same
downstream lifecycle.

This is a pure code cleanup change. A single function that handles incoming HTTP requests was split into two functions: one that prepares the raw libevent request and wraps it, and another that performs the existing allow-checks and hands the request to worker threads. No behavior, security checks, or request handling logic was changed.

HTTPserver: support "chunked" Transfer-Encoding

45/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Low 38/100

This commit adds support for HTTP 'chunked' transfer encoding to Bitcoin Core's built-in HTTP server. Before this change, the server only understood requests with a plain Content-Length body. The patch implements chunk-size parsing, chunk-extension handling, trailer skipping, and size limits. It also includes tests for valid, oversized, malformed, and delayed chunked requests. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security vulnerability, but adding chunked parsing is a sensitive network-facing change that could affect availability or request handling if implemented incorrectly.

HTTPServer: compose and send replies to connected clients

Testing this requires adding a new feature to the SocketTestingSetup,

AI analysis · Low 27/100

This commit adds the ability for Bitcoin Core's built-in HTTP server to actually compose and send response messages back to connected clients. Previously, the server could read requests but had a placeholder 'TODO: send data' where replies should go. The change implements HTTP response formatting, buffering, and non-blocking socket sending, plus tests that verify a mock client receives a correct HTTP/1.1 reply. It is a normal feature-completion patch in an unfinished HTTP server refactor; there is no direct evidence it fixes a security bug, but any new network-facing code carries defensive-review interest.

This commit introduces a new HTTP request parser for Bitcoin Core's internal web server. It is a defensive, by-the-book implementation that explicitly rejects malformed request lines, bad HTTP versions, NUL bytes, conflicting Content-Length headers, oversized bodies, and non-numeric content lengths. The code is accompanied by extensive unit tests demonstrating these protections. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this fixes a known vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring or hardening change.

util/string: LineReader should only trim \r or \r\n

The utility can not be opinionated about CR or SP on either end of a
line it reads. That decision is up to the caller and in fact in the
case of HTTP should be allowed in some places and rejected in others.

This commit changes a low-level string utility so it no longer strips spaces from the beginning and end of lines it reads. It now only removes the actual line-ending characters (carriage return and newline). The change is described as a correctness fix so callers can decide for themselves whether spaces are allowed. It is not presented as a security fix, but overly aggressive trimming could in principle hide or alter data in network messages such as HTTP headers.

This commit only adds new automated tests to Bitcoin Core. It does not change the actual server code that handles HTTP requests. The tests verify that the existing HTTP server correctly rejects or handles common web attacks such as path traversal, request smuggling, null bytes, invalid HTTP versions, and malformed authentication headers. Because no production code is modified, the commit itself does not introduce or fix a vulnerability.

test: raise reindex mining RPC timeout

`feature_reindex.py` mines a long chain before restarting during reindex.
Bump its local RPC timeout to avoid client timeouts in parallel debug-mode runs.

This is a harmless test-only change. It doubles the RPC timeout in one functional test so that a slow test step (mining a long chain) does not fail due to client-side timeout during parallel debug-mode test runs. It does not change any production Bitcoin Core code, consensus rules, networking, or wallet behavior.

This commit fixes a CI (Continuous Integration) configuration mistake. It restores the intended Docker cache provider for Bitcoin Core's own GitHub workflows, using 'warp' for the official bitcoin/bitcoin repository and 'gha' for forks. There is no security issue in the code change itself.

This commit is a documentation-only metadata change. It adds a new 'placeholder' flag to the internal description of several old, ignored RPC parameters so the help system can label them as kept only for backward compatibility. No code behavior changes, no bug fixes, and no security issue is present.

This commit adds small plumbing so that Bitcoin Core's RPC command metadata (descriptions, argument details, result formats) can be inspected by other code. It does not change any user-facing RPC behavior by itself; it merely exposes internal data structures that were already present. There is no obvious security bug in the diff.

rpc: render Type::ANY in help text instead of aborting

RPCResult::Type::ANY triggers NONFATAL_UNREACHABLE() in ToSections(),
which crashes the help() RPC when a command uses Type::ANY in a
nested result field.

Previously this was never hit because Type::ANY was only used as a
top-level alternate result type, filtered out before ToSections() is
called.

getopenrpcinfo() will use this result type, so render it like other
types allowing it to be used in nested result definitions like schema.

This is a small bug-fix in Bitcoin Core's RPC help system. A special placeholder result type called Type::ANY previously caused the help() command to crash with an 'unreachable' assertion when it appeared inside a nested result description. The change makes it render as 'xxx' with description 'any' instead, matching how other types are displayed. It is a denial-of-service-style crash only for the help() RPC output, not for transaction processing, consensus, or wallet operations.

rpc: erase empty map entry in removeCommand

After removing the last CRPCCommand pointer for a given name,
erase the now-empty vector from mapCommands. Without this,
listCommands() returns the name of a fully removed command
because it iterates mapCommands keys unconditionally.

For example, when unloading the wallet the RPCs are deregistered, and
this prevents getopenrpcinfo from returning non-existant RPCs.

This commit fixes a bookkeeping bug in Bitcoin Core's RPC command registry. When a command was fully removed (for example, when a wallet is unloaded), the command's name was still left behind in an internal list. That caused tools like `getopenrpcinfo` and `listCommands` to report commands that no longer actually exist. The fix simply deletes the empty entry so removed commands disappear from listings. There is no direct evidence this can be exploited to steal funds or crash nodes, but it could mislead monitoring tools or client software that relies on the command list.

rpc: add missing string_view include to server.h

CRPCTable::help() takes std::string_view but server.h relies on
transitive includes for it.

Add the direct include (probably makes iwyu happier too?)

This is a routine code-cleanup change: it adds a missing #include <string_view> to a header file so it no longer depends on other headers to provide the std::string_view type. It does not change any program behavior or fix a security bug.

This commit only adds new unit tests for Bitcoin Core's internal test framework. It checks that a helper class for BIP32 extended keys produces the well-known public test-vector outputs. No production wallet, consensus, or networking code is changed, and no security bug is being fixed.
