can you provide more information?
What OS/distro are you are using?
Specifically what instructions did you use to install qlibc?

did you install it according to https://github.com/wolkykim/qlibc/blob/master/INSTALL.md

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS on WSL 2 on Windows 11.

Yes, I did. I typed the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/wolkykim/qlibc.git
$ cd qlibc
$ ./configure --with-openssl
$ make && sudo make install

I am able to, with my current qlibc setup, utilize the container and filesystem artifacts but not the HTTP client.

The problem I suspect is that somehow the linker linked them with their relative path rather than absolute path to the library. I suggest you try this. 1) Rather than using `-lqlibc -lqlibcext`, you can try `/some_path/libqlibcext.a /some_path/libqlibc.a` to make it statically included in the executable. (FYI, /usr/local/lib/ is the default path that qlibc get installed with `make install` command) 2) Or update the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable to include the qlibc library path if you still wish it to be dynamically loaded at the run time. For instance, if you run `make` command under `examples` directory, you will see how examples are built statically with qlibc and qlibcext. Hope this resolves the issue but if it still remains the same, please let me know. Steve

Using the /path/to/libqc.a and /path/to/libqcext.a options - per your prescription - results in the following.

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libqlibcext.a(qhttpclient.o): in function `sendrequest':
/home/chemem/libs/qlibc/src/extensions/qhttpclient.c:1217: undefined reference to `qgrow'

/home/chemem/libs/qlibc/src/extensions/qhttpclient.c:262: undefined reference to `qsocket_get_addr'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Adding /usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATHand using the flag -L/usr/local/lib during compilation both produce an error similar to the one I initially reported.

Adding the -shared flag like so - cc -shared file /path/to/libqclib.a /path/to/libqclibext.a -lssl -lcrypto -pthread -o file - produces a Segmentation Fault. Analyzing the said fault with Valgrind produces the following trace.

Am I doing something wrong?

[wolkykim]

Hi, Do you get the same error when you build the examples? apacheconf example is the one using the ext lib. I will need to reproduce this issue to pinpoint what went south. Can you share your code and Makefile in github or somewhere and let me know how to reproduce it?

Cool. Here's my C file.

#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "qlibc/qlibc.h"
#include "qlibc/qlibcext.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  qhttpclient_t *client = qhttpclient("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com", 0);
  if (client == NULL)
  {
    return -1;
  }

  qlisttbl_t *reqheaders = qlisttbl(QLISTTBL_UNIQUE | QLISTTBL_CASEINSENSITIVE);
  qlisttbl_putstr(reqheaders, "content-type", "application/json");

  int res;
  size_t res_len;

  void *contents = client->cmd(client, "GET", "/todos/1", NULL, 0, &res,
                               &res_len, reqheaders, NULL);

  if (contents == NULL)
  {
    printf("Failure!\n");
  }
  else
  {
    printf("Contents: %s\n", (char *)contents);
    free(contents);
  }

  return 0;
}

And here's my Makefile.

GCC ?= gcc

FPREFIX = http
LIBS = -lqlibc -lqlibcext -pthread -lssl -lcrypto
CFLAGS = -std=gnu99 -fPIC -shared ${LIBS}

.PHONY: default
default: build

build:
	$(CC) $(FPREFIX).c $(CFLAGS) -o $(FPREFIX)

Hi

Looks like the version of GCC you're using is probably having the link order sensitivity.
I believe this issue has been resolved with recent gcc but the default install versions on many distributions are still using the old version.

Linking qlibcext before qlibc seems to fix it.

Also I added this update #98 to enable TLS server name indication extension by default. Some website providers such as Cloudflare which jsonplaceholder.typicode.com is on seem to require server name extension at the handshake phase. It's merged in so please pull and use the latest version of qlibc.

$ make
cc http.c /usr/local/lib/libqlibcext.a /usr/local/lib/libqlibc.a -pthread -lssl -lcrypto -I/usr/local/include/qlibc/ -o http

$ ./http
Contents: {
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 1,
  "title": "delectus aut autem",
  "completed": false
}

$ cat Makefile 
GCC ?= gcc

FPREFIX = http
#LIBS = -lqlibc -lqlibcext -pthread -lssl -lcrypto
LIBS = /usr/local/lib/libqlibcext.a /usr/local/lib/libqlibc.a -pthread -lssl -lcrypto
CFLAGS = ${LIBS} -I/usr/local/include/qlibc/

.PHONY: default
default: build

build:
	$(CC) $(FPREFIX).c $(CFLAGS) -o $(FPREFIX)

Thanks for sharing the information about the TLS server name indication. Updating the Makefile and attempting to compile the C file produced the following error.

cc http.c /usr/local/lib/libqlibcext.a /usr/local/lib/libqlibc.a -pthread -lssl -lcrypto -I/usr/local/include/qlibc/ -o http

Is the problem above gcc related? Should I upgrade my version of gcc as I am currently running v9.4.0?

[wolkykim]

I made this update 1ef855c Can you pull then see if that resolves? Typically, this header is loaded from "qlibc.h" but I made it clear and removed the header dependency

Hello. Building the new version in the master branch results in the following error.

extensions/qhttpclient.c:493:17: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘SSL’ {aka ‘struct ssl_st’}
  493 |         ssl->ssl->tlsext_hostname = client->hostname;

make[1]: *** [Makefile:207: extensions/qhttpclient.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/chemem/libs/qlibc/src'
make: *** [Makefile:32: all] Error 2

Is the fault an incomplete ssl_st struct type?

[wolkykim]

What version of openssl do you have installed? Output of `openssl version -a`? Sorry, I've got a family emergency. Will unlikely be able to look into the details for a few days but will get back to you as soon as I can.

That's fine. We'll pick this up once you've attended to your family, which I hope is all right. Merry Christmas, and thank you for all the help you have provided thus far. Also, I have the 1.1.1f version of openssl installed on my machine.
