Fix channel subscriber that was blocking sending new requests (#1465)
In RequestMessagesSync subscriber is listening to a feed where all whisper
events are posted. After we received event with a request hash - subscriber will
stop actively consuming messages from a feed, as a subscription channel will
get overflow and whole feed will get blocked.

Some events are posted to a feed before request is sent, so blocked feed results
in blocked sending.

Now we will unsubscribe after relevant event was received, and terminate subscriber
explicitly by timeout.

Whisper API Extension

API

shhext_getNewFilterMessages

Accepts the same input as shh_getFilterMessages.

Returns

Returns a list of whisper messages matching the specified filter. Filters out the messages already confirmed received by shhext_confirmMessagesProcessed

Deduplication is made using the whisper envelope content and topic only, so the same content received in different whisper envelopes will be deduplicated.

shhext_confirmMessagesProcessed

Confirms whisper messages received and processed on the client side. These messages won't appear anymore when shhext_getNewFilterMessages is called.

Parameters

Gets a list of whisper envelopes.

shhext_post

Accepts same input as shh_post.

Returns

DATA, 32 Bytes - the envelope hash

shhext_requestMessages

Sends a request for historic messages to a mail server.

Parameters
  1. Object - The message request object:
  • mailServerPeer:URL - Mail servers' enode addess
  • from:QUANTITY - (optional) Lower bound of time range as unix timestamp, default is 24 hours back from now
  • to:QUANTITY- (optional) Upper bound of time range as unix timestamp, default is now
  • topic:DATA, 4 Bytes - Regular whisper topic
  • symKeyID:DATA- ID of a symmetric key to authenticate to mail server, derived from mail server password
Returns

Boolean - returns true if the request was send, otherwise false.

Signals

Sends sent signal once per envelope.

{
  "type": "envelope.sent",
  "event": {
    "hash": "0xea0b93079ed32588628f1cabbbb5ed9e4d50b7571064c2962c3853972db67790"
  }
}

Sends expired signal if envelope dropped from whisper local queue before it was sent to any peer on the network.

{
  "type": "envelope.expired",
  "event": {
    "hash": "0x754f4c12dccb14886f791abfeb77ffb86330d03d5a4ba6f37a8c21281988b69e"
