nmap/nselib/http.lua

---Implements the HTTP client protocol in a standard form that Nmap scripts can
-- take advantage of. 
--
-- Because HTTP has so many uses, there are a number of interfaces to this library.
-- The most obvious and common ones are simply <code>get</code>, <code>post</code>,
-- and <code>head</code>; or, if more control is required, <code>generic_request</code>
-- can be used. These functions do what one would expect. The <code>get_url</code> 
-- helper function can be used to parse and retrieve a full URL. 
--
-- These functions return a table of values, including:
-- * <code>status-line</code> - A string representing the status, such as "HTTP/1.1 200 OK". In case of an error, a description will be provided in this line.
-- * <code>status</code>: The HTTP status value; for example, "200". If an error occurs during a request, then this value is going to be nil.
-- * <code>header</code> - An associative array representing the header. Keys are all lowercase, and standard headers, such as 'date', 'content-length', etc. will typically be present. 
-- * <code>rawheader</code> - A numbered array of the headers, exactly as the server sent them. While header['content-type'] might be 'text/html', rawheader[3] might be 'Content-type: text/html'.
-- * <code>cookies</code> - A numbered array of the cookies the server sent. Each cookie is a table with the following keys: <code>name</code>, <code>value</code>, <code>path</code>, <code>domain</code>, and <code>expires</code>. 
-- * <code>body</code> - The full body, as returned by the server. 
--
-- If a script is planning on making a lot of requests, the pipelining functions can
-- be helpful. <code>pipeline_add</code> queues requests in a table, and
-- <code>pipeline</code> performs the requests, returning the results as an array,
-- with the responses in the same order as the queries were added. As a simple example:
--<code>
--	-- Start by defining the 'all' variable as nil
--	local all = nil
--
--	-- Add two 'GET' requests and one 'HEAD' to the queue. These requests are not performed
--	-- yet. The second parameter represents the 'options' table, which we don't need.
--	all = http.pipeline_add('/book',          nil, all)
--	all = http.pipeline_add('/test',          nil, all)
--	all = http.pipeline_add('/monkeys',       nil, all)
--
--	-- Perform all three requests as parallel as Nmap is able to
--	local results = http.pipeline('nmap.org', 80, all)
--</code>
--
-- At this point, <code>results</code> is an array with three elements. Each element
-- is a table containing the HTTP result, as discussed above. 
--
-- One more interface provided by the HTTP library helps scripts determine whether or not
-- a page exists. The <code>identify_404</code> function will try several URLs on the 
-- server to determine what the server's 404 pages look like. It will attempt to identify
-- customized 404 pages that may not return the actual status code 404. If successful, 
-- the function <code>page_exists</code> can then be used to determine whether or not
-- a page existed. 
--
-- Some other miscellaneous functions that can come in handy are <code>response_contains</code>,
-- <code>can_use_head</code>, and <code>save_path</code>. See the appropriate documentation
-- for them. 
--
-- The response to each function is typically a table with the following keys:
-- <code>status-line</code>: The HTTP status line; for example, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" (note: this is followed by a newline). In case of an error, a description will be provided in this line.
-- <code>status</code>: The HTTP status value; for example, "200". If an error occurs during a request, then this value is going to be nil.
-- <code>header</code>: A table of header values, where the keys are lowercase and the values are exactly what the server sent
-- <code>rawheader</code>: A list of header values as "name: value" strings, in the exact format and order that the server sent them
-- <code>cookies</code>: A list of cookies that the server is sending. Each cookie is a table containing the keys <code>name</code>, <code>value</code>, and <code>path</code>. This table can be sent to the server in subsequent responses in the <code>options</code> table to any function (see below). 
-- <code>body</code>: The body of the response
--
-- Many of the functions optionally allow an 'options' table. This table can alter the HTTP headers
-- or other values like the timeout. The following are valid values in 'options' (note: not all 
-- options will necessarily affect every function):
-- * <code>timeout</code>: A timeout used for socket operations.
-- * <code>header</code>: A table containing additional headers to be used for the request. For example, <code>options['header']['Content-Type'] = 'text/xml'</code>
-- * <code>content</code>: The content of the message (content-length will be added -- set header['Content-Length'] to override). This can be either a string, which will be directly added as the body of the message, or a table, which will have each key=value pair added (like a normal POST request). 
-- * <code>cookies</code>: A list of cookies as either a string, which will be directly sent, or a table. If it's a table, the following fields are recognized: 
-- ** <code>name</code>
-- ** <code>value</code>
-- ** <code>path</code>
-- * <code>auth</code>: A table containing the keys <code>username</code> and <code>password</code>, which will be used for HTTP Basic authentication.
--   If a server requires HTTP Digest authentication, then there must also be a key <code>digest</code>, with value <code>true</code>.
-- * <code>bypass_cache</code>: Do not perform a lookup in the local HTTP cache.
-- * <code>no_cache</code>: Do not save the result of this request to the local HTTP cache.
-- * <code>no_cache_body</code>: Do not save the body of the response to the local HTTP cache.
-- * <code>redirect_ok</code>: Closure that overrides the default redirect_ok used to validate whether to follow HTTP redirects or not. False, if no HTTP redirects should be followed.
--   The following example shows how to write a custom closure that follows 5 consecutive redirects:
--   <code>
--   redirect_ok = function(host,port)
--     local c = 5
--     return function(url)
--       if ( c==0 ) then return false end
--       c = c - 1
--       return true
--     end
--   end
--   </code>
--  
-- @args http.max-cache-size The maximum memory size (in bytes) of the cache.
--
-- @args http.useragent The value of the User-Agent header field sent with
-- requests. By default it is
-- <code>"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Nmap Scripting Engine; http://nmap.org/book/nse.html)"</code>.
-- A value of the empty string disables sending the User-Agent header field.
--
-- @args http.pipeline If set, it represents the number of HTTP requests that'll be
-- sent on one connection. This can be set low to make debugging easier, or it 
-- can be set high to test how a server reacts (its chosen max is ignored).
-- @args http.max-pipeline If set, it represents the number of outstanding  HTTP requests
-- that should be pipelined. Defaults to <code>http.pipeline</code> (if set), or to what
-- <code>getPipelineMax</code> function returns.
--
-- TODO
-- Implement cache system for http pipelines

-- The following recv functions, and the function <code>next_response</code>
-- follow a common pattern. They each take a <code>partial</code> argument
-- whose value is data that has been read from the socket but not yet used in
-- parsing, and they return as their second return value a new value for
-- <code>partial</code>. The idea is that, for example, in reading from the
-- socket to get the Status-Line, you will probably read too much and read part
-- of the header. That part (the "partial") has to be retained when you go to
-- parse the header. The common use pattern is this:

-- status_line, partial = recv_line(socket, partial)

-- header, partial = recv_header(socket, partial)

-- * A page in a non-existent directory (a login page with different font colours)

---This function should be called whenever a valid path (a path that doesn't contain a known
-- 404 page) is discovered. It will add the path to the registry in several ways, allowing
-- other scripts to take advantage of it in interesting ways. 
--
--@param host The host the path was discovered on (not necessarily the host being scanned). 
--@param port The port the path was discovered on (not necessarily the port being scanned). 
--@param path The path discovered. Calling this more than once with the same path is okay; it'll update the data as much as possible instead of adding a duplicate entry
--@param status [optional] The status code (200, 404, 500, etc). This can be left off if it isn't known. 
--@param links_to [optional] A table of paths that this page links to. 
--@param linked_from [optional] A table of paths that link to this page. 
--@param contenttype [optional] The content-type value for the path, if it's known.
