The need has been spotted in issue https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3687.
Using "NYTimes/gziphandler", the http api responses can now be compressed if required.
The Go API requires compressed response if possible and handle the compressed response.
We here change only the http api (not the UI for instance).
The root cause is actually that the agent's streaming HTTP API didn't flush until the first log line was found which commonly was pretty soon since the default level is INFO. In cases where there were no logs immediately due to level for instance, the client gets stuck in the HTTP code waiting on a response packet from the server before we enter the loop that checks the shutdown channel from the signal handler.
This fix flushes the initial status immediately on the streaming endpoint which lets the client code get into it's expected state where it's listening for shutdown or log lines.
- register endpoints with supported methods
- support OPTIONS requests, indicating supported methods
- extract method validation (error 405) from individual endpoints
- on 405 where multiple methods are allowed, create a single Allow
header with comma-separated values, not multiple Allow headers.
The anti-entropy code manages background synchronizations of the local
state on a regular basis or on demand when either the state has changed
or a new consul server has been added.
This patch moves the anti-entropy code into its own package and
decouples it from the local state code since they are performing
two different functions.
To simplify code-review this revision does not make any optimizations,
renames or refactorings. This will happen in subsequent commits.

* Fixes agent error handling when check definition is invalid. Distinguishes between empty checks vs invalid checks
* Made CheckTypes return Checks from service definition struct rather than a new copy, and other changes from code review. This also errors when json payload contains empty structs
* Simplify and improve validate method, and make sure that CheckTypes always returns a new copy of validated check definitions
* Tweaks some small style things and error messages.
* Updates the change log.
* doc: document discrepancy between id and CheckID
* doc: document enable_tag_override change
* config: add TranslateKeys helper
TranslateKeys makes it easier to map between different representations
of internal structures. It allows to recursively map alias keys to
canonical keys in structured maps.
* config: use TranslateKeys for config file
This also adds support for 'enabletagoverride' and removes
the need for a separate CheckID alias field.
* config: remove dead code
* agent: use TranslateKeys for FixupCheckType
* agent: translate enable_tag_override during service registration
* doc: add '.hcl' as valid extension
* config: map ScriptArgs to args
* config: add comment for TranslateKeys
* config: provide stable config for /v1/agent/self (#3530)
This patch adds a stable subset of the previous Config struct to the
agent/self response. The actual runtime configuration is moved into
DebugConfig and will be documented to change.
Fixes#3530
* config: fix tests
* doc: update api documentation for /v1/agent/self
* vendor: add github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch for diff'ing test output
* config: refactor Sanitize to recursively clean runtime config and format complex fields
* Removes an extra int cast.
* Adds a top-level check test case for sanitization.
Since state.Checks() returns a shallow copy
its elements must not be modified. Copying
the elements in the handler does not guarantee
consistency since that list is guarded by a different
lock. Therefore, the only solution is to have state.Checks()
return a deep copy.
* agent: consolidate http method not allowed checks
This patch uses the error handling of the http handlers to handle HTTP
method not allowed errors across all available endpoints. It also adds a
test for testing whether the endpoints respond with the correct status
code.
* agent: do not panic on metrics tests
* agent: drop other tests for MethodNotAllowed
* agent: align /agent/join with reality
/agent/join uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* agent: align /agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} with reality
/agent/check/{fail,warn,pass} uses PUT instead of GET as documented.
* fix some tests
* Drop more tests for method not allowed
* Align TestAgent_RegisterService_InvalidAddress with reality
* Changes API client join to use PUT instead of GET.
* Fixes agent endpoint verbs and removes obsolete tests.
* Updates the change log.
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.
* Upgrade github.com/hashicorp/hcl to support int64
* improve error messages
* fix directory permission test
* Fix rtt test
* Fix ForceLeave test
* Skip performance test for now until we know what to do

* experiment with non-uniform timeouts to get a handle on stalled leader elections
* Run tests for packages separately to eliminate the spurious port conflicts
* refactor private address detection and unify approach for ipv4 and ipv6.

The error handling of the ACL code relies on the presence of certain
magic error messages. Since the error values are sent via RPC between
older and newer consul agents we cannot just replace the magic values
with typed errors and switch to type checks since this would break
compatibility with older clients.
Therefore, this patch moves all magic ACL error messages into the acl
package and provides default error values and helper functions which
determine the type of error.
When the agent is triggered to shutdown via an external 'consul leave'
command delivered via the HTTP API then the client expects to receive a
response when the agent is down. This creates a race on when to shutdown
the agent itself like the RPC server, the checks and the state and the
external endpoints like DNS and HTTP.
This patch splits the shutdown process into two parts:
* shutdown the agent
* shutdown the endpoints (http and dns)
They can be executed multiple times, concurrently and in any order but
should be executed first agent, then endpoints to provide consistent
behavior across all use cases. Both calls have to be executed for a
proper shutdown.
This could be partially hidden in a single function but would introduce
some magic that happens behind the scenes which one has to know of but
isn't obvious.
