1. in normal code is better to always do if err != nil so that
the ifs only contain error code (this is ~coding policy)
2. in tests we want to ensure we narrow down the error to the
real error that happened, to have greater confidence
Written while working on https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1803#issuecomment-957323297
This change will simplify follow-up work done as part of
https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1803#issuecomment-957323297 to
implement a comprehensive self-censoring solution.
While there, rename the "proxy" action to "pass" because what we
are effectively doing is passing traffic to the network (that's a
minor change but it seems a better analogy).
* feat: run ~always netxlite integration tests
This diff ensures that we check on windows, linux, macos that our
fundamental networking library (netxlite) works.
We combine unit and integration tests.
This work is part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1733, where
I want to have more strong guarantees about the foundations.
* fix(filtering/tls_test.go): make portable on Windows
The trick here is to use the wrapped error so to normalize the
different errors messages we see on Windows.
* fix(netxlite/quic_test.go): make portable on windows
Rather than using the zero port, use the `x` port which fails
when the stdlib is parsing the address.
The zero port seems to work on Windows while it does not on Unix.
* fix(serialresolver_test.go): make error more timeout than before
This seems enough to convince Go on Windows about this error
being really a timeout timeouty timeouted thingie.
On Windows, GetAddrInfoW is a syscall and the Go resolver does
not attempt to map errors beyond WSA_HOST_NOT_FOUND, which becomes
"no such host", which we map to "dns_nxdomain_error".
See https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.17.1/src/net/lookup_windows.go#L16.
To map more GetAddrInfoW errors, thus, we need to enhance our
error classifier to have system specific errors.
Then, we need to filter for the WSA errors that are most likely
to pop up and map them to OONI failures. Those are three:
- WSANO_DATA which we have from our own UDP resolver as well
and which we can map to `dns_no_answer`
- WSANO_RECOVERY which we don't have but existed for MK so
we will use `dns_non_recoverable_failure`, which was an MK error
- WSATRY_AGAIN which likewise we map to the error that MK
used to emit, so `dns_temporary_failure`
This diff should address https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1467.
I need to run test on Windows and I just discovered that:
1. the `errno_unix.go` filename does not mean anything because
`unix` is not a valid platform, so we need a filename for
each platform that we care about;
2. on Windows we need to use WSA prefixed names;
3. `i/e/session_psiphon.go` was not building because of the
migration from `netxlite/iox` to `netxlite`.
This diff attempts to fix all three issues.
The reference issue is https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1733,
because I was working on such an issue.
When preparing a tutorial for netxlite, I figured it is easier
to tell people "hey, this is the package you should use for all
low-level networking stuff" rather than introducing people to
a set of packages working together where some piece of functionality
is here and some other piece is there.

I have recently seen a data race related our way of
mutating the outgoing request to set the host header.
Unfortunately, I've lost track of the race output,
because I rebooted my Linux box before saving it.
Though, after inspecting why and and where we're mutating
outgoing requets, I've found that:
1. we add the host header when logging to have it logged,
which is not a big deal since we already emit the URL
rather than just the URL path when logging a request, and
so we can safely zap this piece of code;
2. as a result, in measurements we may omit the host header
but again this is pretty much obvious from the URL itself
and so it should not be very important (nonetheless,
avoid surprises and keep the existing behavior);
3. when the User-Agent header is not set, we default to
a `miniooni/0.1.0-dev` user agent, which is probably not
very useful anyway, so we can actually remove it.
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1733 (this diff
has been extracted from https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/506).
While there, modernize the way in which we run tests to avoid
depending on the fake files scattered around the tree and to
use some well defined mock structures instead.

I discovered which transport were used by apitool and made sure he gets the same transports now. While there, I discovered an issue with ooni/oohttp that has been fixed with cba9b1ce5e.

* netxlite: improve docs, tests, and code quality
* better documentation
* more strict testing of dialer (especially make sure we
document the quirk in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1779
and we have tests to guarantee we don't screw up here)
* introduce NewErrWrapper factory for creating errors so we
have confidence we are creating them correctly

Adapt other places where it was not using a logger to either choose
a reasonable logger or disable logging for backwards compat.

This simplifies serializing errors to `*string`. It did not
occur to me before. It seems quite a nice improvement.

They are now more readable. I'll do another pass and start
separating integration testing from unit testing.
I think we need to have some always on integration testing
for netxlite that runs on macOS, linux, and windows.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
No real functional change. A few are needed and they will come
next. With this diff I just wanted to do cosmetic changes and
documentation changes, to ensure this package is okay.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
The legacy part for now is internal/errorsx. It will stay there until
I figure out whether it also needs some extra bug fixing.
The good part is now in internal/netxlite/errorsx and contains all the
logic for mapping errors. We need to further improve upon this logic
by writing more thorough integration tests for QUIC.
We also need to copy the various dialer, conn, etc adapters that set
errors. We will put them inside netxlite and we will generate errors in
a way that is less crazy with respect to the major operation. (The
idea is to always wrap, given that now we measure in an incremental way
and we don't measure every operation together.)
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
No functional change, as it's clearly obvious from the output.
While there, also rename the generator for certifi. We are planning
on merging errorsx into netxlite. The first step is to give different
names to the code generating programs.
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
This is the last bit of functionality we need before rewriting a
chunk of websteps to use netxlite.
To rewrite most of it, we still need to move over:
1. dnstransport code
2. errorsx code
With both done, netxlite is a good library for websteps as well
as for most other operations we perform outside of the experiments.
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591
With this change, we are now able to change more dependent code to simplify
the way in which we create and manage resolvers.
