Replace manual Content-Length parsing with strtoumax

[Copilot]

• Refactor Content-Length parsing into reusable parse_ulong() helper function
• Add inttypes.h header for strtoumax()
• Returns ULONG_MAX on error (empty string, invalid format, or overflow)
• Short doc comment added
• Self-explanatory logic
• Rebased onto main branch
• Removed excessive inline comments from parse_ulong()
• Simplified errno handling - removed redundant save/restore
• Restored Local.mk files that were incorrectly renamed

@copilot refactor out the int parsing routine to a helper function so we can reuse it.
e.g. ulong parse_ulong( char * p, ulong sz );. Return ULONG_MAX on error.
No code inline comments, just a short doc comment. Logic is self-explanatory.

Implemented in commit 655c876. Created parse_ulong(char const *p, ulong sz) helper function that:

• Returns ULONG_MAX on error
• Uses strtoumax() for robust parsing
• Includes doc comment
• Can be reused for other integer parsing needs

Also rebased onto main branch as requested.

@copilot remove comment spam in parse_ulong. Do not bleed errno past return of parse_ulong.

@copilot remove comment spam in parse_ulong. Do not bleed errno past return of parse_ulong.

Fixed in commit 8ddee82:

• Removed all inline comments from parse_ulong (kept only the doc comment)
• Added errno isolation: save errno on entry, restore on exit to prevent bleeding

@copilot remove the redundant errno save logic

Removed in commit 82da59f. The errno save/restore was redundant since callers only check the return value.

Pull request overview

Refactors HTTP Content-Length parsing in fd_http_server to use a new parse_ulong() helper based on strtoumax(), and adds a regression test intended to verify that overflowing Content-Length values close the connection with the expected reason.

Changes:

• Added parse_ulong() helper and switched Content-Length parsing over to strtoumax().
• Added a new unit test that opens a local socket connection and sends an overflowing Content-Length request.
• Updated test scratch/footprint assertions and added required socket-related includes.

parse_ulong() uses ULONG_MAX as an error sentinel but also allows returning the legitimate value ULONG_MAX (e.g., parsing "18446744073709551615"). In read_conn_http() the caller treats content_len==ULONG_MAX as a parse failure, so a valid Content-Length of ULONG_MAX becomes indistinguishable from an error, and overflow cases can’t be classified separately.

Consider changing the helper to return a success flag / error code (e.g., int parse_ulong(..., ulong *out)), so callers can distinguish invalid format vs overflow and still accept ULONG_MAX as a valid value when desired.

Suggested change

	if( FD_UNLIKELY( errno==ERANGE || val>ULONG_MAX ) ) return ULONG_MAX;
	if( FD_UNLIKELY( errno==ERANGE || val>ULONG_MAX || val==ULONG_MAX ) ) return ULONG_MAX;

[Copilot]

parse_ulong() currently collapses overflow and invalid-format errors into the same ULONG_MAX return value, but the caller always maps that to FD_HTTP_SERVER_CONNECTION_CLOSE_BAD_REQUEST. This changes behavior compared to the previous manual parser, which closed with FD_HTTP_SERVER_CONNECTION_CLOSE_LARGE_REQUEST on overflow. It will also cause the new overflow test to fail because an overflowing Content-Length will be reported as BAD_REQUEST.

Recommend propagating error kind from the parser (overflow vs invalid) and mapping overflow to ..._LARGE_REQUEST (and invalid format/empty to ..._BAD_REQUEST).

[Copilot]

This test emits an extra FD_LOG_NOTICE line for the computed footprint but then immediately asserts the exact value. This adds noise to the unit test output without increasing coverage.

Consider removing the log line (or gating it behind a debug flag) and relying on the existing FD_TEST assertion.

Suggested change

FD_LOG_NOTICE(( "footprint %lu", fd_http_server_footprint( params ) ));
