Doing so allows us to support sticking on URL, URL's IP, URL's port and
path.
Both fetch functions should be improved to support an optional depth
allowing to stick to a server depending on just a few directory
components. This would help with portals, some prefetch-capable
caches and with outgoing connections using multiple internet links.
Commit 827aee91 merged in 1.5-dev5 introduced a regression causing
the srv pointer to be tested twice instead of srv then srv->cookie.
The result is that if a server has no cookie in prefix mode, haproxy
will crash when trying to modify it.
Such a config is very unlikely to happen, except maybe with a backup
server, which would cause haproxy to die with the last server in the
farm.
No backport is needed, only 1.5-dev was affected.
It was not possible to kill remaining sessions from the admin interface,
which is annoying especially when switching to maintenance mode. Now it's
possible.
httponly This option tells haproxy to add an "HttpOnly" cookie attribute
when a cookie is inserted. This attribute is used so that a
user agent doesn't share the cookie with non-HTTP components.
Please check RFC6265 for more information on this attribute.
secure This option tells haproxy to add a "Secure" cookie attribute when
a cookie is inserted. This attribute is used so that a user agent
never emits this cookie over non-secure channels, which means
that a cookie learned with this flag will be presented only over
SSL/TLS connections. Please check RFC6265 for more information on
this attribute.
Cookies were mixed with many other options while they're not used as options.
Move them to a dedicated bitmask (ck_opts). This has released 7 flags in the
proxy options and leaves some room for new proxy flags.
Commit d1de8af362 was incomplete, because
perform_http_redirect() also needs to rewind the buffer since it's called
after data are scheduled for forwarding.
No backport needed.
When "option forwardfor" is enabled in a frontend that uses backends,
"if-none" ignores the header name provided in the frontend.
This prevents haproxy to add the X-Forwarded-For header if the option is not
used in the backend.
This may introduce security issues for servers/applications that rely on the
header provided by haproxy.

The state and the private pointer are not specific to the applets, since SSL
will require exactly both of them. Move them to the connection layer now and
rename them. We also now ensure that both are NULL on first call.
We start to move everything needed to manage a connection to a special
entity "struct connection". We have the data layer operations and the
control operations there. We'll also have more info in the future such
as file descriptors and applet contexts, so that in the end it becomes
detachable from the stream interface, which will allow connections to
be reused between sessions.
For now on, we start with minimal changes.
msg->som was zero before the body and was used to carry the beginning
of a chunk size for chunked-encoded messages, at a moment when msg->sol
is always zero.
Remove msg->som and replace it with msg->sol where needed.
Since the recent buffer reorg, msg->som is redundant with buf->p but still
appears at a number of places. This tiny patch allows to confirm that som
follows two states :
- 0 from the moment the message starts to be parsed
- relative offset to ->p for start of chunk when parsing chunks
During this second state, ->sol is never used, so we should probably merge
the two.
This is a left-over from the buffer changes. Msg->sol is always null at the
end of the parsing, so we must not use it anymore to read headers or find
the beginning of a message. As a side effect, the dump of the request in
debug mode is working again because it was relying on msg->sol not being
null.
Maybe it will even be mergeable with another of the message pointers.
The recent split between the buffers and HTTP messages in 1.5-dev9 caused
a major trouble : in the past, we used to keep a pointer to HTTP data in the
buffer struct itself, which was the cause of most of the pain we had to deal
with buffers.
Now the two are split but we lost the information about the beginning of
the HTTP message once it's being forwarded. While it seems normal, it happens
that several parts of the code currently rely on this ability to inspect a
buffer containing old contents :
- balance uri
- balance url_param
- balance url_param check_post
- balance hdr()
- balance rdp-cookie()
- http-send-name-header
All these happen after the data are scheduled for being forwarded, which
also causes a server to be selected. So for a long time we've been relying
on supposedly sent data that we still had a pointer to.
Now that we don't have such a pointer anymore, we only have one possibility :
when we need to inspect such data, we have to rewind the buffer so that ->p
points to where it previously was. We're lucky, no data can leave the buffer
before it's being connecting outside, and since no inspection can begin until
it's empty, we know that the skipped data are exactly ->o. So we rewind the
buffer by ->o to get headers and advance it back by the same amount.
Proceeding this way is particularly important when dealing with chunked-
encoded requests, because the ->som and ->sov fields may be reused by the
chunk parser before the connection attempt is made, so we cannot rely on
them.
Also, we need to be able to come back after retries and redispatches, which
might change the size of the request if http-send-name-header is set. All of
this is accounted for by the output queue so in the end it does not look like
a bad solution.
No backport is needed.
Before it was possible to resize the buffers using global.tune.bufsize,
the trash has always been the size of a buffer by design. Unfortunately,
the recent buffer sizing at runtime forgot to adjust the trash, resulting
in it being too short for content rewriting if buffers were enlarged from
the default value.
The bug was encountered in 1.4 so the fix must be backported there.
This flag indicates that we're not interested in keeping half-open
connections on a stream interface. It has the benefit of allowing
the socket layer to cause an immediate write close when detecting
an incoming read close. This releases resources much faster and
saves one syscall (either a shutdown or setsockopt).
This flag is only set by HTTP on the interface going to the server
since we don't want to continue pushing data there when it has
closed.
Another benefit is that it responds with a FIN to a server's FIN
instead of responding with an RST as it used to, which is much
cleaner.
Performance gains of 7.5% have been measured on HTTP connection
rate on empty objects.
Commit 5e205524 was a bit overzealous by inconditionally enabling
quick ack when a request is not yet in the buffer, because it also
does so when nothing has been received yet, causing a useless ACK
to be emitted.
Improve the situation by doing this only if the input buffer is
empty (indicating that nothing was sent by the client).
In case of keep-alive, an empty buffer means we already have a
response in flight which will serve as an ACK.
Commit e164e7a removed get_src/get_dst setting in the stream interfaces but
forgot to set it in proto_tcp. Get the feature back because we need it for
logging, transparent mode, ACLs etc... We now rely on the stream interface
direction to know what syscall to use.
One benefit of doing it this way is that we don't use getsockopt() anymore
on outgoing stream interfaces nor on UNIX sockets.
We'll soon have an SSL socket layer, and in order to ease the difference
between the two, we use the name "sock_raw" to designate the one which
directly talks to the sockets without any conversion.
http_auth and http_auth_group used to share the same fetch function, while
they're doing very different things. The first one only checks whether the
supplied credentials are valid wrt a userlist while the second not only
checks this but also checks group ownership from a list of patterns.
Recent acl/pattern merge caused a simplification here by which the fetch
function would always return a boolean, so the group match was always fine
if the user:password was valid, regardless of the patterns provided with
the ACL.
The proper solution consists in splitting the function in two, depending
on what is desired.
It's also worth noting that check_user() would probably be split, one to
check user:password, and the other one to check for group ownership for
an already valid user:password combination. At this point it is not certain
if the group mask is still useful or not considering that the passwd check
is always made.
This bug was reported and diagnosed by Cyril Bonté. It first appeared
in 1.5-dev9 so it does not need any backporting.
I introduced a regression in commit 19979e176e while reworking the admin
actions results.
"Unexpected result" was displayed even if the action was applied due to a
misplaced initialization. This small patch should fix it.
Note: no need to backport.
There is no more reason for the realign function being HTTP specific,
it only operates on a buffer now. Let's move it to buffers.c instead.
It's likely that buffer_bounce_realign is broken (not used), this will
have to be inspected. The function is worth rewriting as it can be
cheaper than buffer_slow_realign() to realign large wrapping buffers.
A number of important information were missing from the error captures, so
let's improve them. Now we also log source port, session flags, transaction
flags, message flags, pending output bytes, expected buffer wrapping position,
total bytes transferred, message chunk length, and message body length.
As such, the output format has slightly evolved and the source address moved
to the third line :
[08/May/2012:11:14:36.341] frontend echo (#1): invalid request
backend echo (#1), server <NONE> (#-1), event #1

pending 11 bytes, wrapping at 7949, error at position 9:
00000 Foo: bar\r\r\n
Since the beginning of buffer&msg changes, the error position (err_pos)
had not completely been converted and some offsets still appear wrong.
Now we ensure that everywhere msg->err_pos is relative to buf->p and
we always report buf->i bytes starting at buf->p in all error captures,
which ensures that err_pos is there.
This is not exactly a bug and is specific to latest changes so no backport
is needed.
Commit 81f2fb added support for wrapping buffer captures, but unfortunately
the code used to perform two memcpy() over the same destination, causing a
loss of the start of the buffer rendering some error snapshots unusable.
This bug is present in 1.4 too and must be backported.
These operators are used regardless of the socket protocol family. Move
them to a "sock_ops" struct. ->read and ->write have been moved there too
as they have no reason to remain at the protocol level.
This is mainly a massive renaming in the code to get it in line with the
calling convention. Next patch will rename a few files to complete this
operation.
All parsing errors were known but impossible to return. Now by making use
of memprintf(), we're able to build meaningful error messages that the
caller can display.
It's easy to merge pattern and ACL fetches of cookies. It allows us
to remove two distinct fetch functions. The new function internally
uses an occurrence number to serve both purposes, but it didn't appear
worth exposing it outside so there is no keyword argument to set it.
However one of the benefits is that the "cookie" fetch for stick tables
now automatically adapts to requests and responses, so there is no more
need for set-cookie().
HTTP header fetch is now done using smp_fetch_hdr() for both ACLs and
patterns. This one also supports an occurrence number, making it possible
to specify explicit occurrences for ACLs and patterns.
src_port, dst_port and url_param have converged between ACLs and patterns.
This means that src_port is now available in patterns and that urlp_* has
been added to ACLs. Some code has moved to accommodate for static function
definitions, but there were little changes.
Patterns were using a bitmask to indicate if request or response was desired
in fetch functions and keywords. ACLs were using a bitmask in fetch keywords
and a single bit in fetch functions. ACLs were also using an ACL_PARTIAL bit
in fetch functions indicating that a non-final fetch was performed, which was
an abuse of the existing direction flag.
The change now consists in using :
- a capabilities field for fetch keywords => SMP_CAP_REQ/RES to indicate
if a keyword supports requests, responses, both, etc...
- an option field for fetch functions to indicate what the caller expects
(request/response, final/non-final)
The ACL_PARTIAL bit was reversed to get SMP_OPT_FINAL as it's more explicit
to know we're working on a final buffer than on a non-final one.
ACL_DIR_* were removed, as well as PATTERN_FETCH_*. L4 fetches were improved
to support being called on responses too since they're still available.
The <dir> field of all fetch functions was changed to <opt> which is now
unsigned.
The patch is large but mostly made of cosmetic changes to accomodate this, as
almost no logic change happened.
Having the args everywhere will make it easier to share fetch functions
between patterns and ACLs. The only place where we could have needed
the expr was in the http_prefetch function which can do well without.
We need the pattern fetchers and converters to correctly set the output type
so that they can be used by ACL fetchers. By using the sample type instead of
the keyword type, we also open the possibility to create some multi-type
pattern fetch methods later (eg: "src" being v4/v6). Right now the type in
the keyword is used to validate the configuration.
Now there is no more reference to union pattern_data. All pattern fetch and
conversion functions now make use of the common sample type. Note: none of
them adjust the type right now so it's important to do it next otherwise
we would risk sharing such functions with ACLs and seeing them fail.
These ones were either unused or improperly used. Some integers were marked
read-only, which does not make much sense. Buffers are not read-only, they're
"constant" in that they must be kept intact after any possible change.
This one is not needed anymore as we can return the data and its type in the
sample provided by the caller. ACLs now always return the proper type. BOOL
is already returned when the result is expected to be processed as a boolean.
temp_pattern has been unexported now.
The new sample types are necessary for the acl-pattern convergence.
These types are boolean and signed int. Some types were renamed for
less ambiguity (ip->ipv4, integer->uint).
This flag was used to force a boolean match even if there was no pattern
to match. It was used only by http_auth() and designed only for this one.
It's easier and cleaner to make the fetch function perform the test and
report the boolean result as a few other functions already do. It simplifies
the acl_exec_cond() logic and will help merging ACLs and patterns.
This is used to validate that arguments are coherent. For instance,
payload_lv expects that the last arg (if any) is not more negative
than the sum of the first two. The error is reported if any.
We don't need the pattern-specific args parsers anymore, make use of the
common parser instead. We still need to improve this by adding a validation
function to report abnormal argument values or combinations. We don't report
precise parsing errors yet but this was not previously done either.
arg_i was almost unused, and since we migrated to use struct arg everywhere,
the rare cases where arg_i was needed could be replaced by switching to
arg->type = ARGT_STOP.
The types and minimal number of ACL keyword arguments are now stored in
their declaration. This will allow many more fantasies if some ACL use
several arguments or types.
Doing so required to rework all ACL keyword declarations to add two
parameters. So this was a good opportunity for a general cleanup and
to sort all entries in alphabetical order.
We still have two pending issues :
- parse_acl_expr() checks for errors but has no way to report them to
the user ;
- the types of some arguments are still not resolved and kept as strings
(eg: ARGT_FE/BE/TAB) for compatibility reasons, which must be resolved
in acl_find_targets()
The ACL parser now uses the argument parser to build a typed argument list.
Right now arguments are all strings and only one argument is supported since
this is what ACLs currently support.
Latest changes have made it possible to remove all differences between
request and response processing, making it worth merging request and
response ACL fetch functions to reduce code size.
Most likely with minor adaptation it will be possible to use the same hdr_*
functions to match in the response path, and cook_* for the response cookie
too.
ACLs are volatile since they require a fetch of request buffer data which is
then copied to a temporary shared place. The issue is minor though since auth
is generally checked very early.
All ACLs which need to process HTTP contents first call this function which
performs all the preliminary tests and also triggers the request parsing if
needed. A macro was written to simplify the code.
As a side effect, it's not required anymore to check for the HTTP ACL before
checking for HTTP contents.
This function will be called by all ACL fetch functions. Right now all ACL
fetch functions have to perform the exact same tests to check whether data
are available. Also, only one of them is able to actually parse an HTTP
request.
Using the prefetch function, it will be possible to try to parse a request
on the fly and to avoid the fetch if some data are missing. This will
significantly reduce the amount of tests in all ACL fetch functions.
buffer_wrap_add was convenient for the migration but is not handy at all.
Let's have new wrappers that report input begin/end and output begin/end
instead.
It looks like we'll also need a b_adv(ofs) to advance a buffer's pointer.
buffer_ignore may only be used when the output of a buffer is empty,
but it's not granted it is always the case when sending HTTP error
responses. Better use buffer_cut_tail() instead, and use buffer_ignore
only on non-wrapping data.
The buffer pointer is now taken from the http_msg in the following
functions :
http_parse_chunk_size
http_forward_trailers
http_skip_chunk_crlf
Most internal pointers were converted to const as the result of the
operation.
The buffer pointer is now taken from the http_msg in the following functions :
- http_remove_header2
- http_header_add_tail
- http_header_add_tail2
- http_parse_connection_header
- http_change_connection_header
msg->sol is now a relative pointer just like all other ones. There is no
more absolute references to the buffer outside the struct buffer itself.
Next two cleanups should include removing buffer references to functions
which already have an msg, and removal of wrapping detection in request
and response parsing which cannot wrap by definition.
ACLs and patterns only rely on a struct http_msg and don't know the pointer
to the actual data. struct http_msg will soon only hold relative references
so that's not possible. We need http_msg to hold a reference to the struct
buffer before having relative pointers everywhere.
It is likely that doing so will also result in opportunities to simplify
a number of functions arguments. The following functions are already
candidate :
http_buffer_heavy_realign
http_capture_bad_message
http_change_connection_header
http_forward_trailers
http_header_add_tail
http_header_add_tail2
http_msg_analyzer
http_parse_chunk_size
http_parse_connection_header
http_remove_header2
http_send_name_header
http_skip_chunk_crlf
http_upgrade_v09_to_v10
These offsets were relative to the buffer itself. Now they're relative to
the buffer's origin (buf->p) which normally corresponds to the start of
current message.
This saves a big dependency between the HTTP message struct and the buffers.
It appeared during this change that ->col is not used anymore (it will have
to be removed). Next step is to turn ->eol and ->sol from absolute to relative.
The buffer's pointer <lr> was only used by HTTP parsers which also use a
struct http_msg to keep track of the parser's state. We've reached a point
where it makes no sense to keep ->lr in the buffer, as the split between
buffer and msg is only arbitrary for historical reasons.
This change ensures that touching buffers will not impact HTTP messages
anymore, making the buffers more content-agnostic. However, it becomes
very important not to forget to update msg->next when some data get
forwarded or moved (and in general each time buf->p is updated).
The new pointer in http_msg becomes relative to buffer->p so that
parsing multiple messages becomes easier. It is possible that at one
point ->som and ->next will be merged.
Note: http_parse_reqline() and http_parse_stsline() have been temporarily
modified to know the message starting point in the buffer (->p).
This change gets rid of buf->r which is always equal to buf->p + buf->i.
It removed some wrapping detection at a number of places, but required addition
of new relative offset computations at other locations. A large number of places
can be simplified now with extreme care, since most of the time, either the
pointer has to be computed once or we need a difference between the old ->w and
old ->r to compute free space. The cleanup will probably happen with the rewrite
of the buffer_input_* and buffer_output_* functions anyway.
buf->lr still has to move to the struct http_msg and be relative to buf->p
for the rework to be complete.
This change introduces the buffer's base pointer, which is the limit between
incoming and outgoing data. It's the point where the parsing should start
from. A number of computations have already been greatly simplified, but
more simplifications are expected to come from the removal of buf->r.
The changes appear good and have revealed occasional improper use of some
pointers. It is possible that this patch has introduced bugs or revealed
some, although preliminary testings tend to indicate that everything still
works as it should.
We don't have buf->l anymore. We have buf->i for pending data and
the total length is retrieved by adding buf->o. Some computation
already become simpler.
Despite extreme care, bugs are not excluded.
It's worth noting that msg->err_pos as set by HTTP request/response
analysers becomes relative to pending data and not to the beginning
of the buffer. This has not been completed yet so differences might
occur when outgoing data are left in the buffer.
Too many flags are stored in the transaction structure. Some flags are
clearly message-specific and exist in two versions (request and response).
Move them to a new "flags" field in the http_message struct instead.
There were a few unchecked write() calls in the debug code that cause
gcc 4.x to emit warnings on recent libc. We don't want to check them
as we can't make anything from the result, let's simply surround them
with an empty if statement.
Note that one of the warnings was for chdir("/") which normally cannot
fail since it follows a successful chroot (which means the perms are
necessarily there). Anyway let's move the call uppe to protect it too.
The issue only happens when DEBUG_FULL is enabled, which causes
http_msg_analyzer() to complain if it's called twice with an invalid
message, for instance because of two consecutive ACLs using req_proto_http.
The code is commented out when DEBUG_FULL is disabled, so this is not a bug,
just an annoyance for the developer.
The three warnings below are totally wrong since the variables depend on another
one which is only turned on when the variables are initialized. Still this gcc-4.1.2
isn't able to see this and prefers to complain wrongly. So let's initialize the
variables to shut it up since we're not in the fast path.
src/proto_http.c: In function 'acl_fetch_any_cookie_cnt':
src/proto_http.c:8393: warning: 'val_end' may be used uninitialized in this function

src/proto_http.c:2577: warning: 'st_cur_param' may be used uninitialized in this function
It's very annoying that we have to deal with the crappy size_t and with ints
at some places because these ones don't mix well. Patch 6f61b2 changed the
chunk len to int but its size remains size_t and some functions are having
trouble being used by several callers depending on the type of their arguments.
Let's turn extract_cookie_value() to int for now on, and plan a massive cleanup
later to remove all size_t.
These callbacks are used to retrieve the source and destination address
of a socket. The address flags are not hold on the stream interface and
not on the session anymore. The addresses are collected when needed.
This still needs to be improved to store the IP and port separately so
that it is not needed to perform a getsockname() when only the IP address
is desired for outgoing traffic.
The Unique ID, is an ID generated with several informations. You can use
a log-format string to customize it, with the "unique-id-format" keyword,
and insert it in the request header, with the "unique-id-header" keyword.
%Fi: Frontend IP
%Fp: Frontend Port
%Si: Server IP
%Sp: Server Port
%Ts: Timestamp
%rt: HTTP request counter
%H: hostname
%pid: PID
+X: Hexadecimal represenation
The +X mode in logformat displays hexadecimal for the following flags
%Ci %Cp %Fi %Fp %Bi %Bp %Si %Sp %Ts %ct %pid
rename logformat_write_string() to lf_text()
Optimize size computation
The ACL matches rely on the extract_cookie_value() function as used for
for patterns. This permits ACLs to match cookie values based on the cookie
name instead of having to perform substring matching on the cookie header.
Sometimes it is desirable to forward a particular request to a specific
server without having to declare a dedicated backend for this server. This
can be achieved using the "use-server" rules. These rules are evaluated after
the "redirect" rules and before evaluating cookies, and they have precedence
on them. There may be as many "use-server" rules as desired. All of these
rules are evaluated in their declaration order, and the first one which
matches will assign the server.
memcmp()/strcmp() calls were needed in different parts of code to determine
the status code. Each new status code introduces new calls, which can become
inefficient and source of bugs.
This patch reorganizes the code to rely on a numeric status code internally
and to be hopefully more generic.
Previously, the stats admin page required POST parameters to be provided
exactly in the same order as the HTML form.
This patch allows to handle those parameters in any orders.
Also, note that haproxy won't alter server states anymore if backend or server
names are ambiguous (duplicated names in the configuration) to prevent
unexpected results (the same should probably be applied to the stats socket).
Olufemi Omojola provided a config and a core showing a possible crash
when captures are configured on a TCP-mode frontend which branches to
an HTTP backend. The reason is that being in TCP mode, the frontend
does not allocate capture pools for the request, but the HTTP backend
tries to use them and dies on the NULL.
While such a config has long been unlikely to happen, it looks like
people using websocket tend to do this more often now.
Change the control to use the pointer instead of the number of captures
to know when to log.
This bug was reported in 1.4.20, so it must be backported there.
Merge http_sess_log() and tcp_sess_log() to sess_log() and move it to
log.c
A new field in logformat_type define if you can use a logformat
variable in TCP or HTTP mode.
doc: log-format in tcp mode
Note that due to the way log buffer allocation currently works, trying to
log an HTTP request without "option httplog" is still not possible. This
will change in the near future.
Commits 5c6209 and 072930 were aimed at avoiding undesirable PUSH flags
when forwarding chunked data, but had the undesired effect of causing
data advertised by content-length to be affected by the delayed ACK too.
This can happen when the data to be forwarded are small enough to fit into
a single send() call, otherwise the BF_EXPECT_MORE flag would be removed.
Content-length data don't need the BF_EXPECT_MORE flag since the low-level
forwarder already knows it can safely rely on bf->to_forward to set the
appropriate TCP flags.
Note that the issue is only observed in requests at the moment, though the
later introduction of server-side keep-alive could trigger the issue on the
response path too.
Special thanks to Randy Shults for reporting this issue with a lot of
details helping to reproduce it.
The fix must be backported to 1.4.
When a request completes on a server and the server connection is closed
while the client connection stays open, the HTTP engine releases all server
connection slots and scans the queues to offer the connection slot to
another pending request.
An issue happens when the released connection allows other requests to be
dequeued : may_dequeue_tasks() relies on srv->served which is only decremented
by sess_change_server() which itself is only called after may_dequeue_tasks().
This results in no connection being woken up until another connection terminates
so that may_dequeue_tasks() is called again.
This fix is minimalist and only moves sess_change_server() earlier (which is
safe). It should be reworked and the code factored out so that the same occurrence
in session.c shares the same code.
This bug has been there since the introduction of option-http-server-close and
the fix must be backported to 1.4.
Since commit 115acb97, chunk size was limited to 256MB. There is no reason for
such a limit and the comment on the code suggests a missing zero. However,
increasing the limit past 2 GB causes trouble due to some 32-bit subtracts
in various computations becoming negative (eg: buffer_max_len). So let's limit
the chunk size to 2 GB - 1 max.
commit a1cc3811 introduced an undesirable \0\n ending on HTTP log messages. This
is because of an extra character count passed to __send_log() which causes the LF
to be appended past the \0. Some syslog daemons thus log an extra empty line. The
fix is obvious. Fix the function comments to remind what they expect on their input.
This is past 1.5-dev7 regression so there's no backport needed.
http_sess_log now use the logformat linked list to make the log
string, snprintf is not used for speed issue.
CLF mode also uses logformat.
NOTE: as of now, empty fields in CLF now are "" not "-" anymore.
Marcello Gorlani reported that commit 5e205524ad
(BUG: http: re-enable TCP quick-ack upon incomplete HTTP requests) broke build
on FreeBSD.
Moving the include lower fixes the issue. This must be backported to 1.4 too.
These ones are invalid and blocked unless "option accept-invalid-http-request"
is specified in the frontend. In any case, the faulty request is logged.
Note that some of the remaining invalid chars are still not checked against,
those are the invalid ones between 32 and 127 :
34 ('"'), 60 ('<'), 62 ('>'), 92 ('\'), 94 ('^'),
96 ('`'), 123 ('{'), 124 ('|'), 125 ('}')
Using a lookup table might be better at some point.
The HTTP request parser was considering that any non-LWS char was
par of the URI. Unfortunately, this allows control chars to be sent
in the URI, sometimes resulting in backend servers misbehaving, for
instance when they interprete \0 as an end of string and respond
with plain HTTP/0.9 without headers, that haproxy blocks as invalid
responses.
RFC3986 clearly states the list of allowed characters in a URI. Even
non-ASCII chars are not allowed. Unfortunately, after having run 10
years with these chars allowed, we can't block them right now without
an optional workaround. So the first step consists in only blocking
control chars. A later patch will allow non-ASCII only when an appropriate
option is enabled in the frontend.
Control chars are 0..31 and 127, with the exception of 9, 10 and 13
(\t, \n, \r).
New option "http-send-name-header" specifies the name of a header which
will hold the server name in outgoing requests. This is the name of the
server the connection is really sent to, which means that upon redispatches,
the header's value is updated so that it always matches the server's name.
This pattern previously was limited to type IP. With the new header
extraction function, it becomes possible to extract strings, so that
the header can be returned as a string. This will not change anything
to existing configs, as string will automatically be converted to IP
when needed. However, new configs will be able to use IPv6 addresses
from headers in stick-tables, as well as stick on any non-IP header
(eg: host, user-agent, ...).
The new function does not return IP addresses but header values instead,
so that the caller is free to make what it want of them. The conversion
is not quite clean yet, as the previous test which considered that address
0.0.0.0 meant "no address" is still used. A different IP parsing function
should be used to take this into account.
Now strings and data blocks are stored in the temp_pattern's chunk
and matched against this one.
The rdp_cookie currently makes extensive use of acl_fetch_rdp_cookie()
and will be a good candidate for the initial rework so that ACLs use
the patterns framework and not the other way around.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now stored into temp_pattern instead of
the dirty hack consisting into storing them into the consumer's target
address.
Some refactoring should now be possible since the methods used to fetch
source and destination addresses are similar between patterns and ACLs.
All ACL fetches which return integer value now store the result into
the temporary pattern struct. All ACL matches which rely on integer
also get their value there.
Note: the pattern data types are not set right now.
By default we disable TCP quick-acking on HTTP requests so that we
avoid sending a pure ACK immediately followed by the HTTP response.
However, if the client sends an incomplete request in a short packet,
its TCP stack might wait for this packet to be ACKed before sending
the rest of the request, delaying incoming requests by up to 40-200ms.
We can detect this undesirable situation when parsing the request :
- if an incomplete request is received
- if a full request is received and uses chunked encoding or advertises
a content-length larger than the data available in the buffer
In these situations, we re-enable TCP quick-ack if we had previously
disabled it.
This patch settles the 2 loggers limitation.
Loggers are now stored in linked lists.
Using "global log", the global loggers list content is added at the end
of the current proxy list. Each "log" entries are added at the end of
the proxy list.
"no log" flush a logger list.
Stream interfaces used to distinguish between client and server addresses
because they were previously of different types (sockaddr_storage for the
client, sockaddr_in for the server). This is not the case anymore, and this
distinction is confusing at best and has caused a number of regressions to
be introduced in the process of converting everything to full-ipv6. We can
now remove this and have a much cleaner code.
This patch introduces hdr_len, path_len and url_len for matching these
respective parts lengths against integers. This can be used to detect
abuse or empty headers.
Commit 588bd4 fixed header parsing so that trailing spaces were not part
of the returned string. Unfortunately, if a header only had spaces, the
last spaces were trimmed past the beginning of the value, causing a negative
length to be returned.
A quick code review shows that there should be no impact since the only
places where the vlen is used are either compared to a specific value or
with explicit contents (eg: digits).
This must be backported to 1.4.
These requests are mainly monitor requests, as well as stats requests when
the stats are processed by the frontend. Having this counter helps explain
the difference in number of sessions that is sometimes observed between a
frontend and a backend.
Sometimes a bad content-length header is encountered and this causes
an abort. It's hard to debug without a trace, so let's take a capture
of the contents when this happens.
If a server starts to respond but stops before the body, then we
capture the truncated response. We don't do this on the request
because it would happen too often upon stupid attacks.
Trailing spaces after headers were not trimmed, only the leading ones
were. An issue was detected today with a content-length value which
was padded with spaces and which was rejected. Recent updates to the
http-bis draft made it a lot more clear that such spaces must be ignored,
so this is what this patch does.
It should be backported to 1.4.
Many inet_ntop calls were partially right, which was hard to detect given
the complex combinations. Some of them were relying on the listener's proto
instead of the address itself, which could have been different when dealing
with an accept-proxy connection.
The new addr_to_str() function does the dirty job and returns the family, which
makes it particularly suited to calls from switch/case statements. A large number
of if/else statements were removed and the stats output could even be cleaned up
in the case of session dump.
As a side effect of doing this, the resulting code is smaller by almost 1kB.
All changed parts have been tested and provided expected output.
If "option forwardfor" has the "if-none" argument, then the header is
only added when the request did not already have one. This option has
security implications, and should not be set blindly.
This is used to perform cookie-based stickiness with table replication
between multiple masters and across restarts. This partially overrides
some of the appsession capabilities.
The motivation for this is to allow iteration of all the connections
of a server without the expense of iterating over the global list
of connections.
The first use of this will be to implement an option to close connections
associated with a server when is is marked as being down or in maintenance
mode.

Bashkim Kasa reported that the stats admin page did not work when colons
were used in server or backend names. This was caused by url-encoding
resulting in ':' being sent as '%3A'. Now we systematically decode the
field names and values to fix this issue.
Now that we support the http-no-delay mode, we can optimize HTTP
chunking again by always waiting for more data to come until the
last chunk is met.
This patch may or may not be backported to 1.4, it's not a big deal,
it will mainly help for chunks which are aligned with the buffer size.
There are some very rare server-to-server applications that abuse the HTTP
protocol and expect the payload phase to be highly interactive, with many
interleaved data chunks in both directions within a single request. This is
absolutely not supported by the HTTP specification and will not work across
most proxies or servers. When such applications attempt to do this through
haproxy, it works but they will experience high delays due to the network
optimizations which favor performance by instructing the system to wait for
enough data to be available in order to only send full packets. Typical
delays are around 200 ms per round trip. Note that this only happens with
abnormal uses. Normal uses such as CONNECT requests nor WebSockets are not
affected.
When "option http-no-delay" is present in either the frontend or the backend
used by a connection, all such optimizations will be disabled in order to
make the exchanges as fast as possible. Of course this offers no guarantee on
the functionality, as it may break at any other place. But if it works via
HAProxy, it will work as fast as possible. This option should never be used
by default, and should never be used at all unless such a buggy application
is discovered. The impact of using this option is an increase of bandwidth
usage and CPU usage, which may significantly lower performance in high
latency environments.
This change should be backported to 1.4 since the first report of such a
misuse was in 1.4. Next patch will also be needed.
Commit 57f5c1 used to provide a nice improvement on chunked encoding since
it ensured that we did not set a PUSH flag for every chunk or buffer data
part of a chunked transfer.
Some applications appear to erroneously abuse HTTP chunking in order to
get interactive exchanges between a user agent and an origin server with
very small chunks. While it happens to work through haproxy, it's terribly
slow due to the latency added after passing each chunk to the system, who
could wait up to 200ms before pushing them onto the wire.
So we need an interactive mode for such usages. In the mean time, step back
on the optim, but not completely, so that we still keep the flag as long as
we know we're not finished with the current chunk.
This change should be backported to 1.4 too as the issue was discovered
with it.
This status code is used in response to requests matching "monitor-uri".
Some users need to adjust it to fit their needs (eg: make some strings
appear there). As it's already defined as a chunked string and used
exactly like other status codes, it makes sense to make it configurable
with the usual "errorfile", "errorloc", ...
Some people like to make the monitoring URL testable from unsafe locations.
Reporting haproxy's existence there can sometimes be problematic. This patch
should not be backported to 1.4 because it is possible, eventhough unlikely,
that some scripts rely on this word to appear there.
When doing fix 24581bae02 to correctly handle
response cookies, an unfortunate typo was inserted in the less likely code
path, resulting in a risk of crash when cookie-based persistence is enabled
and the server emits a cookie with several spaces around the equal sign.
This bug was noticed during a code backport. Its effects were never reported
because this situation is very unlikely to appear, but it can be provoked on
purpose by the server.
This patch must be backported to 1.4 versions which contain the fix above
(anything > 1.4.8), and to similar 1.3 versions > 1.3.25. 1.5-dev versions
after 1.5-dev2 are affected too.
Despite much care around handling the content-length as a 64-bit integer,
forwarding was broken on 32-bit platforms due to the 32-bit nature of
the ->to_forward member of the "buffer" struct. The issue is that this
member is declared as a long, so while it works OK on 64-bit platforms,
32-bit truncate the content-length to the lower 32-bits.
One solution could consist in turning to_forward to a long long, but it
is used a lot in the critical path, so it's not acceptable to perform
all buffer size computations on 64-bit there.
The fix consists in changing the to_forward member to a strict 32-bit
integer and ensure in buffer_forward() that only the amount of bytes
that can fit into it is considered. Callers of buffer_forward() are
responsible for checking that their data were taken into account. We
arbitrarily ensure we never consider more than 2G at once.
That's the way it was intended to work on 32-bit platforms except that
it did not.
This issue was tracked down hard at Exosec with Bertrand Jacquin,
Thierry Fournier and Julien Thomas. It remained undetected for a long
time because files larger than 4G are almost always transferred in
chunked-encoded format, and most platforms dealing with huge contents
these days run on 64-bit.
The bug affects all 1.5 and 1.4 versions, and must be backported.
Since we now have the copy of the target in the session, use it instead
of relying on the SI for it. The SI drops the target upon unregister()
so applets such as stats were logged as "NOSRV".
Johannes Smith reported some wrong retries count in logs associated with bad
requests. The cause was that the conn_retries field in the stream interface
was only initialized when attempting to connect, but is used when logging,
possibly with an uninitialized value holding last connection's conn_retries.
This could have been avoided by making use of a stream interface initializer.
This bug is 1.5-specific.
And also rename "req_acl_rule" "http_req_rule". At the beginning that
was a bit confusing to me, especially the "req_acl" list which in fact
holds what we call rules. After some digging, it appeared that some
part of the code is 100% HTTP and not just related to authentication
anymore, so let's move that part to HTTP and keep the auth-only code
in auth.c.
Right now, http-request rules are not evaluated if the URL matches the
stats request. This is quite unexpected. For instance, in the config
below, an abuser present in the abusers list will not be prevented access
to the stats.
listen pub
bind :8181
acl abuser src -f abusers.lst
http-request deny if abuser
stats uri /stats
It is not a big deal but it's not documented as such either. For 1.5, let's
have both lists be evaluated in turn, until one blocks. For 1.4 we'll simply
update the doc to indicate that.
Also instead of duplicating the code, the patch factors out the list walking
code. The HTTP auth has been moved slightly earlier, because it was set after
the header addition code, but we don't need to add headers to a request we're
dropping.
It's very annoying that frontend and backend stats are merged because we
don't know what we're observing. For instance, if a "listen" instance
makes use of a distinct backend, it's impossible to know what the bytes_out
means.
Some points take care of not updating counters twice if the backend points
to the frontend, indicating a "listen" instance. The thing becomes more
complex when we try to add support for server side keep-alive, because we
have to maintain a pointer to the backend used for last request, and to
update its stats. But we can't perform such comparisons anymore because
the counters will not match anymore.
So in order to get rid of this situation, let's have both frontend AND
backend stats in the "struct proxy". We simply update the relevant ones
during activity. Some of them are only accounted for in the backend,
while others are just for frontend. Maybe we can improve a bit on that
later, but the essential part is that those counters now reflect what
they really mean.
This patch turns internal server addresses to sockaddr_storage to
store IPv6 addresses, and makes the connect() function use it. This
code already works but some caveats with getaddrinfo/gethostbyname
still need to be sorted out while the changes had to be merged at
this stage of internal architecture changes. So for now the config
parser will not emit an IPv6 address yet so that user experience
remains unchanged.
This change should have absolutely zero user-visible effect, otherwise
it's a bug introduced during the merge, that should be reported ASAP.
This one has been removed and is now totally superseded by ->target.
To get the server, one must use target_srv(&s->target) instead of
s->srv now.
The function ensures that non-server targets still return NULL.
s->prev_srv is used by assign_server() only, but all code paths leading
to it now take s->prev_srv from the existing s->srv. So assign_server()
can do that copy into its own stack.
If at one point a different srv is needed, we still have a copy of the
last server on which we failed a connection attempt in s->target.
When dealing with HTTP keep-alive, we'll have to know if we can reuse
an existing connection. For that, we'll have to check if the current
connection was made on the exact same target (referenced in the stream
interface).
Thus, we need to first assign the next target to the session, then
copy it to the stream interface upon connect(). Later we'll check for
equivalence between those two operations.
This is in fact where those parts belong to. The old data_state was replaced
by applet.state and is now initialized when the applet is registered. It's
worth noting that the applet does not need to know the session nor the
buffer anymore since everything is brought by the stream interface.
It is possible that having a separate applet struct would simplify the
code but that's not a big deal.
With HTTP keep-alive, logging the right server name will be quite
complex because the assigned server will possibly change before we log.
Also, when we want to log accesses to an applet, it's not easy because
the applet becomes NULL again before logging.
The logged server's name is now taken from the target stored in the
stream interface. That way we can log an applet, a server name, or we
could even log a proxy or anything else if we wanted to. Ideally the
session should contain a desired target which is the one which should
be logged.
