Thich patch fixes cfgparser not to leak memory on each
default server statement and adds several missing free
calls in deinit():
- free(l->name)
- free(l->counters)
- free(p->desc);
- free(p->fwdfor_hdr_name);
None of them are critical, hopefully.
SSL and SQL checks did only perform a free() of the request without replacing
it, so having multiple SSL/SQL check declarations after another check type
causes a double free condition during config parsing. This should be backported
although it's harmless.
Anonymous ACLs allow the declaration of rules which rely directly on
ACL expressions without passing via the declaration of an ACL. Example :
With named ACLs :
acl site_dead nbsrv(dynamic) lt 2
acl site_dead nbsrv(static) lt 2
monitor fail if site_dead
With anonymous ACLs :
monitor fail if { nbsrv(dynamic) lt 2 } || { nbsrv(static) lt 2 }
Support the new syntax (http-request allow/deny/auth) in
http stats.
Now it is possible to use the same syntax is the same like in
the frontend/backend http-request access control:
acl src_nagios src 192.168.66.66
acl stats_auth_ok http_auth(L1)
stats http-request allow if src_nagios
stats http-request allow if stats_auth_ok
stats http-request auth realm LB
The old syntax is still supported, but now it is emulated
via private acls and an aditional userlist.
Add generic authentication & authorization support.
Groups are implemented as bitmaps so the count is limited to
sizeof(int)*8 == 32.
Encrypted passwords are supported with libcrypt and crypt(3), so it is
possible to use any method supported by your system. For example modern
Linux/glibc instalations support MD5/SHA-256/SHA-512 and of course classic,
DES-based encryption.
Just as for the req* rules, we can now condition rsp* rules with ACLs.
ACLs match on response, so volatile request information cannot be used.
A warning is emitted if a configuration contains such an anomaly.
All the req* rules except the reqadd rules can now be specified with
an if/unless condition. If a condition is specified and does not match,
the filter is ignored. This is particularly useful with reqidel, reqirep
and reqtarpit.
A new function was added to take care of the common code between
all those keywords. This has saved 8 kB of object code and about
500 lines of source code. This has also permitted to spot and fix
minor bugs (allocated args that were never used).
The code could be factored even more but that would make it a bit
more complex which is not interesting at this stage.
Various tests have been performed, and the warnings and errors are
still correctly reported and everything seems to work as expected.
Now a server can check the contents of the header X-Haproxy-Server-State
to know how haproxy sees it. The same values as those reported in the stats
are provided :
- up/down status + check counts
- throttle
- weight vs backend weight
- active sessions vs backend sessions
- queue length
- haproxy node name
Currently we cannot easily add headers nor anything to HTTP checks
because the requests are pre-formatted with the last CRLF. Make the
check code add the CRLF itself so that we can later add useful info.
Hi Willy,
I've made a quick pass on the "defaults" column in the Proxy keywords matrix (chapter 4.1. in the documentation).
This patch resyncs the code and the documentation. I let you decide if some keywords that still work in the "defaults" section should be forbidden.
- default_backend : in the matrix, "defaults" was not supported but the keyword details say it is.
Tests also shows it works, then I've updated the matrix.
- capture cookie : in the keyword details, we can read `It is not possible to specify a capture in a "defaults" section.'.
Ok, even if the tests worked, I've added an alert in the configuration parser (as it is for capture request/response header).
- description : not supported in "defaults", I added an alert in the parser.
I've also noticed that this keyword doesn't appear in the documentation.
There's one "description" entry, but for the "global" section, which is for a different use (the patch doesn't update the documentation).
- grace : even if this is maybe useless, it works in "defaults". Documentation is updated.
- redirect : alert is added in the parser.
- rsprep : alert added in the parser.

Despite what is explicitly stated in HTTP specifications,
browsers still use the undocumented Proxy-Connection header
instead of the Connection header when they connect through
a proxy. As such, proxies generally implement support for
this stupid header name, breaking the standards and making
it harder to support keep-alive between clients and proxies.
Thus, we add a new "option http-use-proxy-header" to tell
haproxy that if it sees requests which look like proxy
requests, it should use the Proxy-Connection header instead
of the Connection header.
This is used to force access to down servers for some requests. This
is useful when validating that a change on a server correctly works
before enabling the server again.
Sometimes we need to be able to change the default kernel socket
buffer size (recv and send). Four new global settings have been
added for this :
- tune.rcvbuf.client
- tune.rcvbuf.server
- tune.sndbuf.client
- tune.sndbuf.server
Those can be used to reduce kernel memory footprint with large numbers
of concurrent connections, and to reduce risks of write timeouts with
very slow clients due to excessive kernel buffering.
Sometimes it can be desired to return a location which is the same
as the request with a slash appended when there was not one in the
request. A typical use of this is for sending a 301 so that people
don't reference links without the trailing slash. The name of the
new option is "append-slash" and it can be used on "redirect"
statements in prefix mode.
This patch implements default-server support allowing to change
default server options. It can be used in [defaults] or [backend]/[listen]
sections. Currently the following options are supported:
- error-limit
- fall
- inter
- fastinter
- downinter
- maxconn
- maxqueue
- minconn
- on-error
- port
- rise
- slowstart
- weight
Supported informations, available via "tr/td title":
- cap: capabilities (proxy)
- mode: one of tcp, http or health (proxy)
- id: SNMP ID (proxy, socket, server)
- IP (socket, server)
- cookie (backend, server)
This option enables HTTP keep-alive on the client side and close mode
on the server side. This offers the best latency on the slow client
side, and still saves as many resources as possible on the server side
by actively closing connections. Pipelining is supported on both requests
and responses, though there is currently no reason to get pipelined
responses.
This option was disabled for frontends in the configuration because
it was useless in its initial implementation, though it was still
checked in the code. Let's officially enable it now.
The previous check was correct: the RFC states that it is required
to have a domain-name which contained a dot AND began with a dot.
However, currently some (all?) browsers do not obey this specification,
so such configuration might work.
This patch reverts 3d8fbb6658d4414dac20892bbd9e79e14e99e67f but
changes the check from FATAL to WARNING and extends the message.
Fix 500b8f0349fb52678f5143c49f5a8be5c033a988 fixed the patch for the 64 bit
case but caused the opposite type issue to appear on 32 bit platforms. Cast
the difference and be done with it since gcc does not agree on type carrying
the difference between two pointers on 32 and 64 bit platforms.
Implement decreasing health based on observing communication between
HAProxy and servers.
Changes in this version 2:
- documentation
- close race between a started check and health analysis event
- don't force fastinter if it is not set
- better names for options
- layer4 support
Changes in this version 3:
- add stats
- port to the current 1.4 tree
Today I was testing headers manipulation but I met a bug with my first test.
To reproduce it, add for example this line :
rspadd Cache-Control:\ max-age=1500
Check the response header, it will provide :
Cache-Control: max-age=15000 <= the last character is duplicated
This only happens when we use backslashes on the last line of the
configuration file, without returning to the line.
Also if the last line is like :
rspadd Cache-Control:\ max-age=1500\
the last backslash causes a segfault.
This is not due to rspadd but to a more general bug in cfgparse.c :
...
if (skip) {
memmove(line + 1, line + 1 + skip, end - (line + skip + 1));
end -= skip;
}
...
should be :
...
if (skip) {
memmove(line + 1, line + 1 + skip, end - (line + skip));
end -= skip;
}
...
I've reproduced it with haproxy 1.3.22 and the last 1.4 snapshot.
In some environments it is not possible to rely on any wildcard for a
domain name (eg: .com, .net, .fr...) so it is required to send multiple
domain extensions. (Un)fortunately the syntax check on the domain name
prevented that from being done the dirty way. So let's just build a
domain list when multiple domains are passed on the same line.
(cherry picked from commit 950245ca2b772fd6b99b8152c48c694ed0212857)
Since cookie can appear in a defaults section, the domain extension
must be supported there as well.
(cherry picked from commit baf78c8e03db8c2255aefb6e11b38b48d1ec5d34)
It was a OR instead of a AND, so it was required to have a cookie
name which contained a dot AND began with a dot.
(cherry picked from commit a1e107fc13e5d8886bf900f302322bfa6ed35d37)
Holger Just reported that running ACLs with too many args caused
a segfault during config parsing. This is caused by a wrong test
on argument count. In case of too many arguments on a config line,
the last one was not correctly zeroed. This is now done and we
report the error indicating what part had been truncated.
