Jitter is important to avoid every cloudflared in the world trying to
reconnect at t=1, 2, 4, etc. That could overwhelm the backend. But
if each cloudflared randomly waits for up to 2, then up to 4, then up
to 8 etc, then the retries get spread out evenly across time.
On average, wait times should be the same (e.g. instead of waiting for
exactly 1 second, cloudflared will wait betweeen 0 and 2 seconds).
This is the "Full Jitter" algorithm from https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/exponential-backoff-and-jitter/
Unless I'm mistaken, when there is no existing token for an app, the `login` command needs to be run to obtain a token (not the `token` command, which itself doesn't generate a token).
Classic tunnels flow was triggering an event for RegisteringTunnel for
every connection that was about to be established, and then a Connected
event for every connection established.
However, the RegistreringTunnel event had no connection ID, always
causing it to unset/disconnect the 0th connection making the /ready
endpoint report incorrect numbers for classic tunnels.
The following UInt flags:
* Uint64 - heartbeat-count, compression-quality
* Uint - retries, port, proxy-port
were not being correctly picked from the configuration YAML
since the multi origin refactor
This is due to a limitation of the ufarve library, which we
overcome for now with handling those as Int flags.
Not doing so was causing cloudflared to become stuck after
some time. This would happen because the Observer pattern
was sending events to the UI channel (that has 16 slots) but
no one was consuming those when the UI is not enabled (which
is the default case).
Hence, events (such as connection disconnect / reconnect) would
cause that buffer to be full and cause cloudflared to become
apparently stuck, in the sense that the connections would not be
reconnected.
Tunnel delete is successful even if we don't find the credentials
file in the user's filesystem. We no longer "error" indicating this
is a problem. This fix also enables chaining of the delete command
by removing a pre-mature return if the credentials file is not found.
