journal-remote: verify entry length from header
Calling mhd_respond(), which ulimately calls MHD_queue_response() is ineffective at point, becuase MHD_queue_response() immediately returns MHD_NO signifying an error, because the connection is in state MHD_CONNECTION_CONTINUE_SENT. As Christian Grothoff kindly explained: > You are likely calling MHD_queue_repsonse() too late: once you are > receiving upload_data, HTTP forces you to process it all. At this time, > MHD has already sent "100 continue" and cannot take it back (hence you > get MHD_NO!). > > In your request handler, the first time when you are called for a > connection (and when hence *upload_data_size == 0 and upload_data == > NULL) you must check the content-length header and react (with > MHD_queue_response) based on this (to prevent MHD from automatically > generating 100 continue). If we ever encounter this kind of error, print a warning and immediately abort the connection. (The alternative would be to keep reading the data, but ignore it, and return an error after we get to the end of data. That is possible, but of course puts additional load on both the sender and reciever, and doesn't seem important enough just to return a good error message.) Note that sending of the error does not work (the connection is always aborted when MHD_queue_response is used with MHD_RESPMEM_MUST_FREE, as in this case) with libµhttpd 0.59, but works with 0.61: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libmicrohttpd/pull-request/1
