A TCP/HTTP action can stop the rules evaluation. However, it should be
applied on the current section only. For instance, for http-requests rules,
an "allow" on a frontend must stop evaluation of rules defined in this
frontend. But the backend rules, if any, must still be evaluated.
For http-response rulesets, according the configuration manual, the same
must be true. Only "allow" action is concerned. However, since the
beginning, this action stops evaluation of all remaining rules, not only
those of the current section.
This patch may be backported to all supported versions. But it is not so
critical because the bug exists since a while. I doubt it will break any
existing configuration because the current behavior is
counterintuitive.
When a tarpit action is performed, we must be sure to drain data from the
request channel. Otherwise, the mux on the frontend side may be blocked
because the request channel buffer is full.
This may lead to Two bugs. The first one is a HOL blocking on the H2
multiplexer. A tarpitted stream may block all the others because data are
not drained for the whole tarpit timeout. The second bug is a ping-pong loop
between the multiplexer and the stream. The mux is waiting for more space in
the channel buffer, so it wakes up the stream. And the stream systematically
re-enables receives.
This last part is not pretty clean and it will be addressed with another
fix. But draning request data is a good way to fix both bugs in same time.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0. The legacy HTTP mode is
probably affected, but I don't know if same bugs may be experienced in this
mode.
Client source and destination addresses at stream level are now used to emit
X-Forwarded-For and X-Original-To headers. For now, stream-interface addresses
are never set. So, thanks to the fallback mechanism, no changes are expected
with this patch. But its purpose is to rely on addresses at the stream level,
when set, instead of those at the connection level.
As for TCP rules, HTTP rules from defaults section are now evaluated. These
rules are evaluated before those of the proxy. The same default ruleset
cannot be attached to the frontend and the backend. However, at this stage,
we take care to not execute twice the same ruleset. So, in theory, a
frontend and a backend could use the same defaults section. In this case,
the default ruleset is executed before all others and only once.
http-after-response rules evaluation must be stopped after a "allow". It
means the frontend ruleset must not be evaluated if a "allow" was performed
in the backend ruleset. Internally, the evaluation must be stopped if on
HTTP_RULE_RES_STOP return value. Only the "allow" action is concerned by
this change.
Thanks to this patch, http-response and http-after-response behave in the
same way.
This patch should be backported as far as 2.2.
A bug was introduced by the commit 2d5650082 ("BUG/MEDIUM: http-ana: Reset
channels analysers when returning an error").
The request analyzers must be cleared when a redirect rule is applied. It is
not a problem if the redirect rule is inside an http-request ruleset because
the analyzer takes care to clear it. However, when it comes from a redirect
ruleset (via the "redirect ..." directive), because of the above commit,
the request analyzers are no longer cleared. It means some HTTP request
analyzers may be called while the request channel was already flushed. It is
totally unexpected and may lead to crash.
Thanks to Yves Lafon for reporting the problem.
This patch must be backported everywhere the above commit was backported.
A bug was introduced in the commit cff0f739e5 ("MINOR: counters: Review
conditions to increment counters from analysers"). The internal_errors
counter for the target server was incremented twice. The counter for the
session listener needs to be incremented instead.
This must be backported everywhere the commit cff0f739e5 is.
If the stream-interface is waiting for more buffer room to store incoming
data, it is important at the stream level to stop to wait for more data to
continue. Thanks to the previous patch ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: Notify
stream that the mux wants more room to xfer data"), the stream is woken up
when this happens. In this patch, we take care to interrupt the
corresponding tcp-content ruleset or to stop waiting for the HTTP message
payload.
To ease detection of the state, si_rx_blocked_room() helper function has
been added. It returns non-zero if the stream interface's Rx path is blocked
because of lack of room in the input buffer.
This patch is part of a series related to the issue #1362. It should be
backported as ar as 2.0, probably with some adaptations. So be careful
during backports.
When an error is returned to the client, via a call to
http_reply_and_close(), the request channel is flushed and shut down and
HTTP analysis on both direction is finished. So it is safer to centralize
reset of channels analysers at this place. It is especially important when a
filter is attached to the stream when a client abort is detected. Because,
otherwise, the stream remains blocked because request analysers are not
reset.
This bug was hidden for a while. But since the fix 6fcd2d328 ("BUG/MINOR:
stream: Don't release a stream if FLT_END is still registered"), it is
possible to trigger it.
This patch must be backported everywhere the above commit was backported.
The vars_init() name is particularly confusing as it does not initialize
the variables code but the head of a list of variables passed in
arguments. And we'll soon need to have proper initialization code, so
let's rename it now.
Sometimes it is convenient to remap large sets of URIs to new ones (e.g.
after a site migration for example). This can be achieved using
"http-request redirect" combined with maps, but one difficulty there is
that non-matching entries will return an empty response. In order to
avoid this, duplicating the operation as an ACL condition ending in
"-m found" is possible but it becomes complex and error-prone while it's
known that an empty URL is not valid in a location header.
This patch addresses this by improving the redirect rules to be able to
simply ignore the rule and skip to the next one if the result of the
evaluation of the "location" expression is empty. However in order not
to break existing setups, it requires a new "ignore-empty" keyword.
There used to be an ACT_FLAG_FINAL on redirect rules that's used during
the parsing to emit a warning if followed by another rule, so here we
only set it if the option is not there. The http_apply_redirect_rule()
function now returns a 3rd value to mention that it did nothing and
that this was not an error, so that callers can just ignore the rule.
The regular "redirect" rules were not modified however since this does
not apply there.
The map_redirect VTC was completed with such a test and updated to 2.5
and an example was added into the documentation.
Since last change on HTTP analysers (252412316 "MEDIUM: proxy: remove
long-broken 'option http_proxy'"), http_process_request() may only return
internal errors on failures. Thus the label used to handle bad requests may
be removed.
This patch should fix the issue #1330.
This option had always been broken in HTX, which means that the first
breakage appeared in 1.9, that it was broken by default in 2.0 and that
no workaround existed starting with 2.1. The way this option works is
praticularly unfit to the rest of the configuration and to the internal
architecture. It had some uses when it was introduced 14 years ago but
nowadays it's possible to do much better and more reliable using a
set of "http-request set-dst" and "http-request set-uri" rules, which
additionally are compatible with DNS resolution (via do-resolve) and
are not exclusive to normal load balancing. The "option-http_proxy"
example config file was updated to reflect this.
The option is still parsed so that an error message gives hints about
what to look for.
Fix the wrong usage of http_uri_parser which is defined with an
uninitialized uri. This causes a crash which happens when forwarding a
request to a backend configured in plain proxy ('option http_proxy').
This has been reported through a clang warning on the CI.
This bug has been introduced by the refactoring of URI parser API.
c453f9547e
MINOR: http: use http uri parser for path
This does not need to be backported.
WARNING: although this patch fix the crash, the 'option http_proxy'
seems to be non buggy, possibly since quite a few stable versions.
Indeed, the URI rewriting is not functional : the path is written on the
beginning of the URI but the rest of the URI is not and this garbage is
passed to the server which does not understand the request.
Replace http_get_path by the http_uri_parser API. The new functions is
renamed http_parse_path. Replace duplicated code for scheme and
authority parsing by invocations to http_parse_scheme/authority.
If no scheme is found for an URI detected as an absolute-uri/authority,
consider it to be an authority format : no path will be found. For an
absolute-uri or absolute-path, use the remaining of the string as the
path. A new http_uri_parser state is declared to mark the path parsing
as done.
Split in two the condition which check if the monitor-uri is set for the
current request. This will allow to easily use the http_uri_parser type
for http_get_path.
It is now possible to set the Netfilter MARK and the TOS field value in all
packets sent to the client from any tcp-request rulesets or the "tcp-response
content" one. To do so, the parsing of "set-mark" and "set-tos" actions are
moved in tcp_act.c and the actions evaluation is handled in dedicated functions.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the "nice" factor of the current stream from a
"tcp-request content" or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the
action parsing is moved in stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in
a dedicated function.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the stream log level from a "tcp-request content"
or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the action parsing is moved in
stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in a dedicated function.
This patch should fix issue #1306. It may be backported as far as 2.2 if
necessary.
When a client aborts while the session is in the queue or during the connect
stage, instead of reporting a 503-Service-Unavailable error in logs, -1
status is used. It means -1 status is now reported with 'CC' and 'CQ'
termination state.
Indeed, when a client aborts before the server connection is established,
there is no reason to report a 503 because nothing is sent to the
server. And in this case, because it is a client abort, it is useless to
send any response to the client. Thus -1 status is approriate. This status
is used in log messages when the connection is closed and no response is
sent.
This patch should fix the issue #1266.
Thanks to the commit 1f08bffe0 ("MINOR: http-ana: Perform L7 retries because
of status codes in response analyser"), the L7 retries about the response
status code is now fully handled in the HTTP response analyser.
CF_READ_ERROR flag is no longer set on the response channel in this
case. Thus it is useless to try to catch L7 retries when CF_READ_ERROR is
set because it cannot happen.
The above commit was backported to 2.4, thus this one should also be
backported.
L7 retries because of status codes are now performed in the response
analyser. This way, it is no longer required to handle L7 retries in
si_cs_recv(). It is also useless to set CF_READ_ERROR on the response
channel to be able to trigger such retries.
In addition, if no L7 retries are performed when the response is received,
the L7 buffer is immediately released. Before in this case, it was only
released with the stream.
When a network error occurred on the server side, if it is not the first
request (in case of keep-alive), nothing is returned to the client and its
connexion is closed to be sure it may retry. However L7 retries on refused
early data (0rtt-rejected) must be performed first.
In addition, such L7 retries must also be performed before incrementing the
failed responses counter.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
This bug was introduced by the previous commit (9f5382e45 Revert "MEDIUM:
http-ana: Deal with L7 retries in HTTP analysers") because I failed the
revert.
On L7 retry, if the maximum connection retries is reached, an error must be
return to the client. Depending the situation, it may be a 502-Bad-Gateway
(empty-response or junk-response), a 504-Gateway-Timeout (response-timeout)
or a 425-Too-Early (0rtt-rejected). But contrary to what the comment says,
the do_l7_retry() function always returns a success.
Note it is not a problem for L7 retries on the response status code because
the stream-interface already takes care to have not reached the maximum
connection retries counter to trigger a L7 retry.
This patch must be backported to 2.4 because the commit must also be
backported to 2.4.
This reverts commit 5b82cc5b5c. The purpose of
this commit was to fully handle L7 retries in HTTP analysers and stop to
deal with the L7 buffer in si_cs_send()/si_cs_recv(). It is of course
cleaner this way. But there is a huge drawback. The L7 buffer is reserved
from the time the request analysis is finished until the moment the response
is received. For a small request, the analysis is finished before the
connection to the server. Thus for the L7 buffer will be kept for queued
sessions while it is not mandatory.
So, for now, the commit is reverted to go back to the less expensive
solution. This patch must be backported to 2.4.
Support experimental actions. It is mandatory to use
'expose-experimental-directives' before to be able to use them.
If such action is present in the config file, the tainted status of the
process is updated. Another tainted status is set when an experimental
action is executed.
Thanks to a previous fix, the stream error mask is now cleared on L7
retry. But the stream final state (SF_FINST_*) and the stream-interface
error type must also be reset to properly restart a new connection and be
sure to not inherit errors from the previous connection attempt.
In addition, SF_ADDR_SET flag is not systematically removed.
stream_choose_redispatch() already takes care to unset it if necessary. When
the connection is not redispatch, the server address can be preserved.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
The cleanup of the previous error was incorrect on L7 retries, it would
OR two values while they're part of an enum, leaving some bits set.
Depending on the errors it was possible to occasionally see an internal
error ("I" flag) being logged.
This should be backported as far as 2.0, though the do_l7_retry() function
in in proto_htx.c in older versions.
When a L7 retry is performed, we must not forget to decrement the current
session counter of the assigned server. Of course, it must only be done if
the current session is already counted on the server, thus if SF_CURR_SESS
flag is set on the stream.
This patch is related to the issue #1003. It must be backported as far as
2.0.
A read error on the server side is also reported as a write error on the
client side. It means some times, a server side error is handled on the
client side. Among others, it is the case when the client side is waiting
for the response while the request processing is already finished. In this
case, the error is not handled as a server error. It is not accurate.
So now, when the request processing is finished but not the response
processing and if a read error was encountered on the server side, the error
is not immediatly processed on the client side, to let a chance to response
analysers to properly catch the error.
This patch replaces roughly all occurrences of an HA_ATOMIC_ADD(&foo, 1)
or HA_ATOMIC_SUB(&foo, 1) with the equivalent HA_ATOMIC_INC(&foo) and
HA_ATOMIC_DEC(&foo) respectively. These are 507 changes over 45 files.
Historically, an option was added to wait for the request payload (option
http-buffer-request). This option has 2 drawbacks. First, it is an ON/OFF
option for the whole proxy. It cannot be enabled on demand depending on the
message. Then, as its name suggests, it only works on the request side. The
only option to wait for the response payload was to write a dedicated
filter. While it is an acceptable solution for complex applications, it is a
bit overkill to simply match strings in the body.
To make everyone happy, this patch adds a dedicated HTTP action to wait for
the message payload, for the request or the response depending it is used in
an http-request or an http-response ruleset. The time to wait is
configurable and, optionally, the minimum payload size to have before stop
to wait.
Both the http action and the old http analyzer rely on the same internal
function.
Now allocation and initialization of HTTP transactions are performed in a
unique function. Historically, there were two functions because the same TXN
was reset for K/A connections in the legacy HTTP mode. Now, in HTX, K/A
connections are handled at the mux level. A new stream, and thus a new TXN,
is created for each request. In addition, the function responsible to end
the TXN is now also reponsible to release it.
So, now, http_create_txn() and http_destroy_txn() must be used to create and
destroy an HTTP transaction.
It is just a small cleanup. AN_REQ_FLT_HTTP_HDRS and AN_RES_FLT_HTTP_HDRS
analysers are now set in HTTP analysers at the same place
AN_REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY and AN_RES_HTTP_XFER_BODY are set.
When a TCP stream is first upgraded to H1 and then to H2, we must be sure to
inhibit any connect and to properly handle the TCP stream destruction.
When the TCP stream is upgraded to H1, the HTTP analysers are set. Thus
http_wait_for_request() is called. In this case, the server connection must
be blocked, waiting for the request analysis. Otherwise, a server may be
assigned to the stream too early. It is especially a problem if the stream
is finally destroyed because of an implicit upgrade to H2.
In this case, the stream processing must be properly aborted to not have a
stalled stream. Thus, if a shutdown is detected in http_wait_for_request()
when an HTTP upgrade is performed, the stream is aborted.
It is a 2.4-specific bug. No backport is needed.
When implementing a client applet, a NULL dereference was encountered on
the error path which increment the counters.
Indeed, the counters incremented are the one in the listener which does
not exist in the case of client applets, so in sess->listener->counters,
listener is NULL.
This patch fixes the access to the listener structure when accessing
from a sesssion, most of the access are the counters in error paths.
Must be backported as far as 1.8.
Refactoring performed with the following Coccinelle patch:
@@
char *s;
@@
(
- ist2(s, strlen(s))
+ ist(s)
|
- ist2(strdup(s), strlen(s))
+ ist(strdup(s))
)
Note that this replacement is safe even in the strdup() case, because `ist()`
will not call `strlen()` on a `NULL` pointer. Instead is inserts a length of
`0`, effectively resulting in `IST_NULL`.
A network may be specified to avoid header addition for "forwardfor" and
"orignialto" option via the "except" parameter. However, only IPv4
networks/addresses are supported. This patch adds the support of IPv6.
To do so, the net_addr structure is used to store the parameter value in the
proxy structure. And ipcmp2net() function is used to perform the comparison.
This patch should fix the issue #1145. It depends on the following commit:
* c6ce0ab MINOR: tools: Add function to compare an address to a network address
* 5587287 MINOR: tools: Add net_addr structure describing a network addess
When an except parameter is used for originalto option, only the destination
address must be evaluated. Especially, the address family of the destination
must be tested and not the source one.
This patch must be backported to all stable versions. However be careful,
depending the versions the code may be slightly different.
Only the first 3 characters are compared for ';no-maint' suffix in
http_handle_stats. Fix it by doing a full match over the entire suffix.
As a side effect, the ';norefresh' suffix matched the inaccurate
comparison, so the maintenance servers were always hidden on the stats
page in this case.
no-maint suffix is present since commit
3e32036701
MINOR: stats: also support a "no-maint" show stat modifier
It should be backported up to 2.3.
This fixes github issue #1147.
If internal error is reported by the mux during HTTP request parsing, the
HTTP error counter should not be incremented. It should only be incremented
on parsing error to reflect errors caused by clients.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0. During the backport, the same
must be performed for 408-request-time-out errors.
Historically we've been counting lots of client-triggered events in stick
tables to help detect misbehaving ones, but we've been missing the same on
the server side, and there's been repeated requests for being able to count
the server errors per URL in order to precisely monitor the quality of
service or even to avoid routing requests to certain dead services, which
is also called "circuit breaking" nowadays.
This commit introduces http_fail_cnt and http_fail_rate, which work like
http_err_cnt and http_err_rate in that they respectively count events and
their frequency, but they only consider server-side issues such as network
errors, unparsable and truncated responses, and 5xx status codes other
than 501 and 505 (since these ones are usually triggered by the client).
Note that retryable errors are purposely not accounted for, so that only
what the client really sees is considered.
With this it becomes very simple to put some protective measures in place
to perform a redirect or return an excuse page when the error rate goes
beyond a certain threshold for a given URL, and give more chances to the
server to recover from this condition. Typically it could look like this
to bypass a URL causing more than 10 requests per second:
stick-table type string len 80 size 4k expire 1m store http_fail_rate(1m)
http-request track-sc0 base # track host+path, ignore query string
http-request return status 503 content-type text/html \
lf-file excuse.html if { sc0_http_fail_rate gt 10 }
A more advanced mechanism using gpt0 could even implement high/low rates
to disable/enable the service.
Reg-test converteers_ref_cnt_never_dec.vtc was updated to test it.
The code dealing with the copy of requests in the L7-buffer and the
retransmits during L7 retries has been moved in the HTTP analysers. The copy
is now performed in the REQ_HTTP_XFER_BODY analyser and the L7 retries is
performed in the RES_WAIT_HTTP analyser. This way, si_cs_recv() and
si_cs_send() don't care of it anymore. It is much more natural to deal with
L7 retry in HTTP analysers.
The EOM block may be removed. The HTX_FL_EOM flags is enough. Most of time,
to know if the end of the message is reached, we just need to have an empty
HTX message with HTX_FL_EOM flag set. It may also be detected when the last
block of a message with HTX_FL_EOM flag is manipulated.
Removing EOM blocks simplifies the HTX message filling. Indeed, there is no
more edge problems when the message ends but there is no more space to write
the EOM block. However, some part are more tricky. Especially the
compression filter or the FCGI mux. The compression filter must finish the
compression on the last DATA block. Before it was performed on the EOM
block, an extra DATA block with the checksum was added. Now, we must detect
the last DATA block to be sure to finish the compression. The FCGI mux on
its part must be sure to reserve the space for the empty STDIN record on the
last DATA block while this record was inserted on the EOM block.
The H2 multiplexer is probably the part that benefits the most from this
change. Indeed, it is now fairly easier to known when to set the ES flag.
The HTX documentaion has been updated accordingly.
