From 78256e65d7b6a5a83e2ed76c2b62c57a671358d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Ahmed Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:48:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: 3 Tor/HTTP resilience fixes from experimental patch 1. -torconnecttimeout config option (init.cpp, netbase.h, netbase.cpp) SOCKS5/Tor negotiation bound. Default 60s. Range 5-180s. Without this, a dead/slow .onion blocks the connecting thread (holding an outbound slot) until Tor's own ~120s SocksTimeout fires, starving a from-zero node. Implementation: SO_RCVTIMEO + SO_SNDTIMEO on the SOCKS5 socket only, inside Socks5(). Both Linux/BSD and Win32 paths. Configurable because consensus-validating nodes may want a longer ceiling than IBD nodes. 2. HTTP seed fetch: chunked-encoding support (net.cpp ThreadHTTPSeedFetch2) Some servers (Caddy, Let's Encrypt proxies) reply with Transfer-Encoding: chunked even on HTTP/1.1 + Connection: close. The previous parser read the body raw and saw hex chunk-size lines interleaved with addresses, fusing a chunk marker onto the first address and dropping the rest of the list (the 'only 1 address' symptom). De-chunk first when header advertises chunked, then parse. 3. Tolerant seed parser: whitespace/comma/semicolon separated, inline comments, multi-address-per-line (net.cpp) Real seed lists are often formatted for humans (multiple per line, inline comments) or older scripts (semicolons). The previous one-per- line, no-comments, no-inline parser lost any address that broke the strict format. Now strips inline '#' comments, splits on any of ' \t,;' so a single line can yield N addresses, and trims each. Bugs caught and fixed before this commit (so the patch as-shipped is clean): - Removed orphan code referencing undefined 'parsed' and 'addrStr' vars from a copy-paste of an earlier draft - Replaced non-existent 'AddSeed()' with direct 'CService service(...)' construction followed by 'addrman.Add(CAddress, CService)' (correct addrman.Add signature, not CNetAddr) - Tightened 'addrman.Add' call to the actual signature: address + source --- src/init.cpp | 11 ++++ src/net.cpp | 130 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- src/netbase.cpp | 25 ++++++++++ src/netbase.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 122 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/init.cpp b/src/init.cpp index 819a610..91f3607 100644 --- a/src/init.cpp +++ b/src/init.cpp @@ -506,6 +506,7 @@ std::string HelpMessage() " -dbcache= " + _("Set database cache size in megabytes (default: 25)") + "\n" + " -dblogsize= " + _("Set database disk log size in megabytes (default: 100)") + "\n" + " -timeout= " + _("Specify connection timeout in milliseconds (default: 5000)") + "\n" + + " -torconnecttimeout= " + _("Max time (ms) to wait for Tor to reach a peer .onion before giving up (default: 60000, range 5000-180000)") + "\n" + //" -proxy= " + _("Connect through socks proxy") + "\n" + //" -socks= " + _("Select the version of socks proxy to use (4-5, default: 5)") + "\n" + " -tor= " + _("Use proxy to reach tor hidden services (default: same as -proxy)") + "\n" @@ -780,6 +781,16 @@ bool AppInit2() nConnectTimeout = nNewTimeout; } + // SOCKS5/Tor negotiation timeout.
