It does not work for dedicated servers because upon starting the process to
resolve the address to redirect to gets killed. Also with all the async going
on in the network code, the debug redirection will start very late in the
process.
There could be a callback in _new_http_callbacks that is not
processed yet. All callbacks in _http_callbacks were cancelled,
but not the ones in _new_http_callbacks
Having a library with files with the same name isn't supported in CMake's Xcode project file generation: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/20501. One of the files is renamed to work around this bug.
This map is used store socket and address together, and, other than
checking that the address does not already have a socket, the data layout
does not seem particularly important.
However, as address is the key, technically it should not be modified,
and address may self-modify itself during comparisons.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
This to prevent compilation issues between runs with and without precompiled
headers. Also remove the headers from the rest of the code base as they are
not needed there anymore, although they do relatively little harm.
With a thread, we can just run curl_easy_perform() and let CURL
and threads handle the blocking part.
With async solution there are too many things to keep track of,
and it makes "when to update the GUI" tricky. By using a thread
that all gets a lot simpler, as the game-thread and download-thread
run side-by-side.
This is similar to how the WinHttp backend already works.
This requires the use of WinHTTP (for Windows) or libcurl (for all
others except Emscripten). Emscripten does not support http(s)
calls currently.
On Linux it requires ca-certificates to be installed, so the HTTPS
certificate can be validated. It is really likely this is installed
on any modern machine, as most connections these days are HTTPS.
(On MacOS and Windows the certificate store is filled by default)
Reminder: in case the http(s):// connection cannot be established,
OpenTTD falls back to a custom TCP-based connection to fetch the
content from the content-service. Emscripten will always do this.
