Implementation of the draft-uberti-rtcweb-turn-rest-00 draft, that is a REST API that can be used to access TURN services, more specifically credentials to use. Currently implemented in both rfc5766-turn-server and coturn, and so should be generic enough to be usable here.

Note

This implementation depends on libcurl and is optional.

janus_random_uint32()

guint32 janus_random_uint32

(

void

)

Helper to generate random 32-bit unsigned integers (useful for SSRCs, etc.)

Note

Warning: this will fall back to a non-cryptographically safe PRNG in case the crypto library RAND_bytes() call fails.

Returns

A (mostly crypto-safe) random 32-bit unsigned integer

janus_random_uint64()

guint64 janus_random_uint64

(

void

)

Helper to generate random 52 bit unsigned integers.

Note

The reason for 52 instead of 64 bits: Javascript does not have real integers, its builtin "number" type is a float64. Thus, only integer values up to Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER == 2^53 - 1 == 9007199254740991 can be safely represented in Javascript. This method returns such numbers. Use this method instead of janus_random_uint64_full() whenever you generate numbers which might end up in Javascript (via JSON API). This method is called janus_random_uint64() instead of janus_random_uint52() (or similar) for backwards compatibility. Warning: this will fall back to a non-cryptographically safe PRNG in case the crypto library RAND_bytes() call fails.

Returns

A (mostly crypto-safe) random 64-bit unsigned integer

janus_random_uint64_full()

guint64 janus_random_uint64_full

(

void

)

Helper to generate random 64-bit unsigned integers.

Note

Unlike janus_random_uint64(), which actually only generates 52 bits, this generates the full 64 bits. See the janus_random_uint64() docstring for details. Warning: this will fall back to a non-cryptographically safe PRNG in case the crypto library RAND_bytes() call fails.

Returns

A (mostly crypto-safe) random 52-bit unsigned integer

janus_random_uuid()

char * janus_random_uuid

(

void

)

Helper to generate random UUIDs (needed by some plugins) Warning: this will fall back to a non-cryptographically safe PRNG in case the crypto library RAND_bytes() call fails.

Returns

A (mostly crypto-safe) random UUID string, which must be deallocated with g_free

janus_uint64_dup()

guint64 * janus_uint64_dup

(

guint64

num

)

Helper to generate an allocated copy of a guint64 number.

Note

While apparently silly, this is needed in order to make sure guint64 values used as keys in GHashTable operations are not lost: using temporary guint64 numbers in a g_hash_table_insert, for instance, will cause the key to contain garbage as soon as the temporary variable is lost, and all opererations on the key to fail
