Subject: Possible bug in (web server)
Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2013 03:11:10 -0400

Hi all,

I found a bug in (web server) on Mac OS X, and when I compared against GNU/Linux I seem to have found a bug in (web client) there.  I've included a script and further details below.

#!/usr/local/bin/guile \
-e main -s
!#
;; guile-web-server-osx-bug.scm
;;
;; This script demonstrates a possible bug in Guile's web server on
;; Mac OS X.  And it demonstrates a possible bug in Guile's web client
;; on GNU/Linux.
;;
;; Problem
;; =======
;;
;; Using Guile's (web server) with an example program, I ran into the
;; following issue on Mac OS X: If I ran
;; "./guile-web-server-osx-bug.scm server" and pointed my browser at
;; http://localhost:8080, the first request would work and be
;; displayed in my browser.  The second request would timeout.  I
;; compared this with Guile on GNU/Linux and found that the (web
;; server) worked fine, but the (web client) did not seem to work.
;;
;;
;; Reproduction
;; ============
;;
;; The script takes an argument "server" or "client [hostname/ip]".
;; When run as a server, it will say hello with an incremented
;; counter.  When run as a client, it will grab a couple of known
;; sites gnu.org, fsf.org, and then try localhost or the given
;; hostname on port 8080 twice, because on Mac OS X I saw the web
;; server work on the first request but not the second. The
;; hostname/ip the client is contacting is presumed to be a Guile web
;; server on the other end but doesn't have to be.
;;
;; If there were no bugs, this script should work like this:
;; $ ./guile-web-server-osx-bug.scm server &
;; Web server replied 'Hello World! 0'.
;; Web server replied 'Hello World! 1'.
;;

If I run the client under strace I get

read(13, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: 15\r\nContent-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8\r\n\r\nHello World! 22", 4096) = 94
read(13, 0xa1ec000, 4096)               = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)

so even though we've read all the data that's needed, we're still making
another call to read and blocking.

One problem was that read-response-body was making a call to
get-bytevector-all, but even after changing it to

(define (read-response-body r)
  "Reads the response body from R, as a bytevector.  Returns
‘#f’ if there was no response body."
  (let ((body (and=> (response-body-port r #:decode? #f)
                     (lambda (p)
                       (cond ((response-content-length r) =>
                              (lambda (n)
                                (get-bytevector-n p n)))
                             (else (get-bytevector-all p)))))))
    ;; Reading a body of length 0 will result in get-bytevector-all
    ;; returning the EOF object.
    (if (eof-object? body)
        #vu8()
        body)))

I'm still seeing the same behaviour. (I did check and the
get-bytevector-n case is definitely being ran)

So, I'm guessing the problem lies in the C code for handling ports,
and/or for handling sockets.

No idea why it doesn't happen on web calls but only localhost.

Aside:
The above change to read-response-body has not been committed. I'm
undecided as to whether or not read-response-body should handle checking
the size of the content body. Currently it doesn't, but we have separate
code for doing that in (web client), so maybe not. But it might be an
idea to document that read-response-body may return less bytes than the
content length.

I don't really understand this bug.  Ian's investigation isn't right, I
don't think; the "delimited" port stuff from (web response) should make
it correct to call get-bytevector-all on the response port.  So I think
there is not a client bug, but there may be a server bug on macOS.  Can
you retry on macOS with 2.0.11 and with 2.1.3 and see if the problem
still exists?

Thanks,

Andy
