This renames "Voting wallet status" to "VSP status" and it now includes the status of the local dcrd instance. This change impacts both the /admin page of the UI, and the response of the /admin/status API endpoint.
Errors generated during dcrd client creation were previously handled in middleware, and request handling was terminated immediately.
Now the error handling is delayed by adding the error details to the request context. This enables downstream handlers to decide what to do with the error.
If an alternate address exists for this ticket, check it first and fall
back to the commitment address if validation fails. Alternate address
failure is allowed so that other endpoints do not need to add a field to
all requests specifying whether this is the alternate address's
signature or the commitment address's signature.
* Use features from Go 1.16 tooling.
- GO111MODULE environment variable now defaults to "on"
- "go build" and "go test" now exit with an error rather than silently modifying go.mod or go.sum files
- Update README.md
* Don't use deprecated ioutil package.
* Remove static cfg values from GUI cache.
Theres no need for these values to be copied into the cache when templates could simply access the config struct directly.
This also changes the cache accessor so it returns a copy of the cache rather than a pointer, which removes a potential race.
* Rename and move cache.
Cache code was previous in `homepage.go`, but its used in multiple places and not just on the homepage. Its enough code to go into its own dedicated `cache.go`.
* Delay fee broadcast and adding tickets to wallets.
- Adds a `background` package which implements a dcrd notification handler. On each blockconnected notification, tickets with 6+ confirmations are marked confirmed, relevant fee transactions are broadcast, and any fees with 6+ confirmations have their tickets added to voting wallets.
- VSP fee is now an absolute value measured in DCR rather than a percentage. This simplifies the code and is more appropriate for an MVP. We can re-add percentage based fees later.
- Database code for tickets is now simplified to just "Insert/Update", rather than having functions for updating particular fields.
- Pay fee response no longer includes the fee tx hash, because we dont necessarily broadcast the fee tx straight away.
* Const for required confs
* Rework client/server authentication.
- Remove Signature from all requests, and instead expect a signature in HTTP header "VSP-Client-Signature".
- Remove CommitmentSignatures from the database.
- Use a bool flag to indicate when a ticket is missing from the database rather than an error.
This commit introduces a lot of duplication into each of the authenticated HTTP handlers. This should be removed in future work which moves the authentication to a dedicated middleware.
* Introduce auth and rpc middleware.
This removed the duplication added in the previous commit, and also removes the duplication of RPC client error handling.
