This bug occurs when a redirect rule is applied during the request analysis on a
persistent connection, on a proxy without any server. This means, in a frontend
section or in a listen/backend section with no "server" line.
Because the transaction processing is shortened, no server can be selected to
perform the connection. So if we try to establish it, this fails and a 503 error
is returned, while a 3XX was already sent. So, in this case, HAProxy generates 2
replies and only the first one is expected.
Here is the configuration snippet to easily reproduce the problem:
listen www
bind :8080
mode http
timeout connect 5s
timeout client 3s
timeout server 6s
redirect location /
A simple HTTP/1.1 request without body will trigger the bug:
$ telnet 0 8080
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 302 Found

[wt: only 1.8-dev is impacted though the bug is present in older ones]
When the compression filter is enabled, if a HTTP/1.0 response is received (no
content-length and no transfer-encoding), no data are forwarded to the client
because of a bug and the transaction is blocked indefinitly.
The bug comes from the fact we need to synchronize the end of the request and
the response because of the compression filter. This inhibits the infinite
forwarding of data. But for these responses, the compression is not
activated. So the response body is not analyzed. This leads to a deadlock.
The solution is to enable the analyze of the response body in all cases and
handle this one to enable the infinite forwarding. All other cases should
already by handled.
This fix should be backported to 1.7.
To finish a HTTP transaction and to start the new one, we check, among other
things, that there is enough space in the reponse buffer to eventually inject a
message during the parsing of the next request. Because these messages can reach
the maximum buffers size, it is mandatory to have an empty response
buffer. Remaining input data are trimmed during the txn cleanup (in
http_reset_txn), so we just need to check that the output data were flushed.
The current implementation depends on channel_congested, which does check the
reserved area is available. That's not of course good enough. There are other
tests on the reponse buffer is http_wait_for_request. But conditions to move on
are almost the same. So, we can imagine some scenarii where some output data
remaining in the reponse buffer during the request parsing prevent any messages
injection.
To fix this bug, we just wait that output data were flushed before cleaning up
the HTTP txn (ie. s->res.buf->o == 0). In addition, in http_reset_txn we realign
the response buffer (note the buffer is empty at this step).
Thanks to this changes, there is no more need to set CF_EXPECT_MORE on the
response channel in http_end_txn_clean_session. And more important, there is no
more need to check the response buffer state in http_wait_for_request. This
remove a workaround on response analysers to handle HTTP pipelining.
This patch can be backported in 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5.
A tcp half connection can cause 100% CPU on expiration.
First reproduced with this haproxy configuration :

Ie timeout server-fin shorter than timeout server, the backend server
sends data, this package is left in the cache of haproxy, the backend

time the session information is as follows:

Buffering is set to ensure that there is data in the haproxy buffer, and haproxy
can receive the fin package, set the CF_SHUTR flag, If the CF_SHUTR flag has been
set, The following code does not clear the timeout message, causing cpu 100%:
stream.c:process_stream:
if (unlikely((res->flags & (CF_SHUTR|CF_READ_TIMEOUT)) == CF_READ_TIMEOUT)) {
if (si_b->flags & SI_FL_NOHALF)
si_b->flags |= SI_FL_NOLINGER;
si_shutr(si_b);
}
If you have closed the read, set the read timeout does not make sense.
With or without cf_shutr, read timeout is set:
if (tick_isset(s->be->timeout.serverfin)) {
res->rto = s->be->timeout.serverfin;
res->rex = tick_add(now_ms, res->rto);
}
After discussion on the mailing list, setting half-closed timeouts the
hard way here doesn't make sense. They should be set only at the moment
the shutdown() is performed. It will also solve a special case which was
already reported of some half-closed timeouts not working when the shutw()
is performed directly at the stream-interface layer (no analyser involved).
Since the stream interface layer cannot know the timeout values, we'll have
to store them directly in the stream interface so that they are used upon
shutw(). This patch does this, fixing the problem.
An easier reproducer to validate the fix is to keep the huge buffer and
shorten all timeouts, then call it under tcploop server and client, and
wait 3 seconds to see haproxy run at 100% CPU :
global
tune.bufsize 10485760
listen px
bind :1990

timeout server 90s

timeout server-fin 3s
timeout client-fin 3s

Because of this typo, AN_RES_FLT_END was never called when a redirect rule is
applied on a keep-alive connection. In almost all cases, this bug has no
effect. But, it leads to a memory leak if a redirect is done on a http-response
rule when the HTTP compression is enabled.
This patch should be backported in 1.7.
When a filter is used, there are 2 channel's analyzers to surround all the
others, flt_start_analyze and flt_end_analyze. This is the good place to acquire
and release resources used by filters, when needed. In addition, the last one is
used to synchronize the both channels, especially for HTTP streams. We must wait
that the analyze is finished for the both channels for an HTTP transaction
before restarting it for the next one.
But this part was buggy, leading to unexpected behaviours. First, depending on
which channel ends first, the request or the response can be switch in a
"forward forever" mode. Then, the HTTP transaction can be cleaned up too early,
while a processing is still in progress on a channel.
To fix the bug, the flag CF_FLT_ANALYZE has been added. It is set on channels in
flt_start_analyze and is kept if at least one filter is still analyzing the
channel. So, we can trigger the channel syncrhonization if this flag was removed
on the both channels. In addition, the flag TX_WAIT_CLEANUP has been added on
the transaction to know if the transaction must be cleaned up or not during
channels syncrhonization. This way, we are sure to reset everything once all the
processings are finished.
This patch should be backported in 1.7.
Given that all call places except one had to set txn->status prior to
calling http_server_error(), it's simpler to make this function rely
on txn->status than have it store it from an argument.
This commit removes second argument(msgnum) from http_error_message and
changes http_error_message to use s->txn->status/http_get_status_idx for
mapping status code from 200..504 to HTTP_ERR_200..HTTP_ERR_504(enum).
This is needed for http-request tarpit deny_status commit.
In 1.4-dev5 when we started to implement keep-alive, commit a9679ac
("[MINOR] http: make the conditional redirect support keep-alive")
added a specific check was added to support keep-alive on redirect
rules but only when the location would start with a "/" indicating
the client would come back to the same server.
But nowadays most applications put http:// or https:// in front of
each and every location, and continuing to perform a close there is
counter-efficient, especially when multiple objects are fetched at
once from a same origin which redirects them to the correct origin
(eg: after an http to https forced upgrade).
It's about time to get rid of this old trick as it causes more harm
than good at an era where persistent connections are omnipresent.
Special thanks to Ciprian Dorin Craciun for providing convincing
arguments with a pretty valid use case and proposing this draft
patch which addresses the issue he was facing.
This change although not exactly a bug fix should be backported
to 1.7 to adapt better to existing infrastructure.
Historically, http-response rules couldn't produce errors generating HTTP
responses during their evaluation. This possibility was "implicitly" added with
http-response redirect rules (51d861a4). But, at the time, replace-header rules
were kept untouched. When such a rule failed, the rules processing was just
stopped (like for an accept rule).
Conversely, when a replace-header rule fails on the request, it generates a HTTP
response (400 Bad Request).
With this patch, errors on replace-header rule are now handled in the same way
for HTTP requests and HTTP responses.
This patch should be backported in 1.7 and 1.6.
This is the same fix as which concerning the redirect rules (0d94576c).
The buffer used to expand the <replace-fmt> argument must be protected to
prevent it being overwritten during build_logline() execution (the function used
to expand the format string).
This patch should be backported in 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5. It relies on commit b686afd
("MINOR: chunks: implement a simple dynamic allocator for trash buffers") for
the trash allocator, which has to be backported as well.
Some users have experienced some troubles using the compression filter when the
HTTP response body length is undefined. They complained about receiving
truncated responses.
In fact, the bug can be triggered if there is at least one filter attached to
the stream but none registered to analyze the HTTP response body. In this case,
when the body length is undefined, data should be forwarded without any
parsing. But, because of a wrong check, we were starting to parse them. Because
it was not expected, the end of response was not correctly detected and the
response could be truncted. So now, we rely on HAS_DATA_FILTER macro instead of
HAS_FILTER one to choose to parse HTTP response body or not.
Furthermore, in http_response_forward_body, the test to not forward the server
closure to the client has been updated to reflect conditions listed in the
associated comment.
And finally, in http_msg_forward_body, when the body length is undefined, we
continue the parsing it until the server closes the connection without any on
filters. So filters can safely stop to filter data during their parsing.
This fix should be backported in 1.7
See 4b788f7d34
If we use the action "http-request redirect" with a Lua sample-fetch or
converter, and the Lua function calls one of the Lua log function, the
header name is corrupted, it contains an extract of the last loggued data.
This is due to an overwrite of the trash buffer, because his scope is not
respected in the "add-header" function. The scope of the trash buffer must
be limited to the function using it. The build_logline() function can
execute a lot of other function which can use the trash buffer.
This patch fix the usage of the trash buffer. It limits the scope of this
global buffer to the local function, we build first the header value using
build_logline, and after we store the header name.
Thanks Jesse Schulman for the bug repport.
This patch must be backported in 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5 version, and it relies
on commit b686afd ("MINOR: chunks: implement a simple dynamic allocator for
trash buffers") for the trash allocator, which has to be backported as well.

Commits 5f10ea3 ("OPTIM: http: improve parsing performance of long
URIs") and 0431f9d ("OPTIM: http: improve parsing performance of long
header lines") introduced a bug in the HTTP parser : when a partial
request is read, the first part ends up on a 8-bytes boundary (or 4-byte
on 32-bit machines), the end lies in the header field value part, and
the buffer used to contain a CR character exactly after the last block,
then the parser could be confused and read this CR character as being
part of the current request, then switch to a new state waiting for an
LF character. Then when the next part of the request appeared, it would
read the character following what was erroneously mistaken for a CR,
see that it is not an LF and fail on a bad request. In some cases, it
can even be worse and the header following the hole can be improperly
indexed causing all sort of unexpected behaviours like a content-length
being ignored or a header appended at the wrong position. The reason is
that there's no control of and of parsing just after breaking out of the
loop.
One way to reproduce it is with this config :
global
stats socket /tmp/sock1 mode 666 level admin
stats timeout 1d
frontend px
bind :8001
mode http
timeout client 10s
redirect location /
And sending requests this way :
$ tcploop 8001 C P S:"$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 2>/dev/null | tr '\000' '\r')"
$ tcploop 8001 C P S:"$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 2>/dev/null | tr '\000' '\r')"
$ tcploop 8001 C P \
S:"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nX-padding: 0123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.1234567" P \
S:"89.123456789\r\n\r\n" P
Then a "show errors" on the socket will report :
$ echo "show errors" | socat - /tmp/sock1

Many thanks to Aleksey Gordeev and Axel Reinhold for providing detailed
network captures and configurations exhibiting the issue.
Error captures almost always report a state 26 (MSG_ERROR) making it
very hard to know what the parser was expecting. The reason is that
we have to switch to MSG_ERROR to trigger the dump, and then during
the dump we capture the current state which is already MSG_ERROR. With
this change we now copy the current state into an err_state field that
will be reported as the faulty state.
This patch looks a bit large because the parser doesn't update the
current state until it runs out of data so the current state is never
known when jumping to ther error label! Thus the code had to be updated
to take copies of the current state before switching to MSG_ERROR based
on the switch/case values.
As a bonus, it now shows the current state in human-readable form and
not only in numeric form ; in the past it was not an issue since it was
always 26 (MSG_ERROR).
At least now we can get exploitable invalid request/response reports :

This should be backported to 1.7 and 1.6 at least to help with bug
reports.
It is important to defined analyzers (AN_REQ_* and AN_RES_*) in the same order
they are evaluated in process_stream. This order is really important because
during analyzers evaluation, we run them in the order of the lower bit to the
higher one. This way, when an analyzer adds/removes another one during its
evaluation, we know if it is located before or after it. So, when it adds an
analyzer which is located before it, we can switch to it immediately, even if it
has already been called once but removed since.
With the time, and introduction of new analyzers, this order was broken up. the
main problems come from the filter analyzers. We used values not related with
their evaluation order. Furthermore, we used same values for request and response
analyzers.
So, to fix the bug, filter analyzers have been splitted in 2 distinct lists to
have different analyzers for the request channel than those for the response
channel. And of course, we have moved them to the right place.
Some other analyzers have been reordered to respect the evaluation order:
* AN_REQ_HTTP_TARPIT has been moved just before AN_REQ_SRV_RULES
* AN_REQ_PRST_RDP_COOKIE has been moved just before AN_REQ_STICKING_RULES
* AN_RES_STORE_RULES has been moved just after AN_RES_WAIT_HTTP
Note today we have 29 analyzers, all stored into a 32 bits bitfield. So we can
still add 4 more analyzers before having a problem. A good way to fend off the
problem for a while could be to have a different bitfield for request and
response analyzers.
[wt: all of this must be backported to 1.7, and part of it must be backported
to 1.6 and 1.5]
When the option "http-buffer-request" is set, HAProxy send itself the
"HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" response in order to retrieve the post content.
When HAProxy forward the request, it send the body directly after the
headers. The header "Expect: 100-continue" was sent with the headers.
This header is useless because the body will be sent in all cases, and
the server reponse is not removed by haproxy.
This patch removes the header "Expect: 100-continue" if HAProxy sent it
itself.
By investigating a keep-alive issue with CloudFlare, we[1] found that
when using the 'set-cookie' option in a redirect (302) HAproxy is adding
an extra `\r\n`.
Triggering rule :
`http-request redirect location / set-cookie Cookie=value if [...]`
Expected result :
```
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-length: 0
Location: /
Set-Cookie: Cookie=value; path=/;
Connection: close
```
Actual result :
```
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-length: 0
Location: /
Set-Cookie: Cookie=value; path=/;
Connection: close
```
This extra `\r\n` seems to be harmless with another HAproxy instance in
front of it (sanitizing) or when using a browser. But we confirm that
the CloudFlare NGINX implementation is not able to handle this. It
seems that both 'Content-length: 0' and extra carriage return broke RFC
(to be confirmed).
When looking into the code, this carriage-return was already present in
1.3.X versions but just before closing the connection which was ok I
think. Then, with 1.4.X the keep-alive feature was added and this piece
of code remains unchanged.
[1] all credit for the bug finding goes to CloudFlare Support Team
[wt: the bug was indeed present since the Set-Cookie was introduced
in 1.3.16, by commit 0140f25 ("[MINOR] redirect: add support for
"set-cookie" and "clear-cookie"") so backporting to all supported
versions is desired]
This allow a filter to start to analyze data in HTTP and to fallback in TCP when
data are tunneled.
[wt: backport desired in 1.7 - no impact right now but may impact the ability
to backport future fixes]
In HAProxy 1.6, When "http-tunnel" option is enabled, HTTP transactions are
tunneled as soon as possible after the headers parsing/forwarding. When the
transfer length of the response can be determined, this happens when all data
are forwarded. But for responses with an undetermined transfer length this
happens when headers are forwarded. This behavior is questionable, but this is
not the purpose of this fix...
In HAProxy 1.7, the first use-case works like in 1.6. But the second one not
because of the data filtering. HAProxy was always trying to forward data until
the server closes the connection. So the transaction was never switched in
tunnel mode. This is the expected behavior when there is a data filter. But in
the default case (no data filter), it should work like in 1.6.
This patch fixes the bug. We analyze response data until the server closes the
connection only when there is a data filter.
[wt: backport needed in 1.7]
When a 2xx response to a CONNECT request is returned, the connection must be
switched in tunnel mode immediatly after the headers, and Transfer-Encoding and
Content-Length headers must be ignored. So from the HTTP parser point of view,
there is no body.
The bug comes from the fact the flag HTTP_MSGF_XFER_LEN was not set on the
response (This flag means that the body size can be determined. In our case, it
can, it is 0). So, during data forwarding, the connection was never switched in
tunnel mode and we were blocked in a state where we were waiting that the
server closes the connection to ends the response.
Setting the flag HTTP_MSGF_XFER_LEN on the response fixed the bug.
The code of http_wait_for_response has been slightly updated to be more
readable.
[wt: 1.7-only, this is not needed in 1.6]
When dealing with many proxies, it's hard to spot response errors because
all internet-facing frontends constantly receive attacks. This patch now
makes it possible to demand that only request or response errors are dumped
by appending "request" or "reponse" to the show errors command.
The function log format emit its own error message using Alert(). This
patch replaces this behavior and uses the standard HAProxy error system
(with memprintf).
The benefits are:
- cleaning the log system
- the logformat can ignore the caller (actually the caller must set
a flag designing the caller function).
- Make the usage of the logformat function easy for future components.
This patch takes into account the return code of the parse_logformat_string()
function. Now the configuration parser will fail if the log_format is not
strict.
The log-format function parse_logformat_string() takes file and line
for building parsing logs. These two parameters are embedded in the
struct proxy curproxy, which is the current parsing context.
This patch removes these two unused arguments.
It really belongs to proto_http.c since it's a dump for HTTP request
and response errors. Note that it's possible that some parts do not
need to be exported anymore since it really is the only place where
errors are manipulated.
proto/dumpstats.h has been split in 4 files:
* proto/cli.h contains protypes for the CLI
* proto/stats.h contains prototypes for the stats
* types/cli.h contains definition for the CLI
* types/stats.h contains definition for the stats
http_find_header2() relies on find_hdr_value_end() to find the comma
delimiting a header field value, which also properly handles double
quotes and backslashes within quotes. In fact double quotes are very
rare, and commas happen once every multiple characters, especially
with cookies where a full block can be found at once. So it makes
sense to optimize this function to speed up the lookup of the first
block before the quote.
This change increases the performance from 212k to 217k req/s when
requests contain a 1kB cookie (+2.5%). We don't care about going
back into the fast parser after the first quote, as it may
needlessly make the parser more complex for very marginal gains.
Searching the trailing space in long URIs takes some time. This can
happen especially on static files and some blogs. By skipping valid
character ranges by 32-bit blocks, it's possible to increase the
HTTP performance from 212k to 216k req/s on requests features a
100-character URI, which is an increase of 2%. This is done for
architectures supporting unaligned accesses (x86_64, x86, armv7a).
There's only a 32-bit version because URIs are rarely long and very
often short, so it's more efficient to limit the systematic overhead
than to try to optimize for the rarest requests.
A performance test with 1kB cookies was capping at 194k req/s. After
implementing multi-byte skipping, the performance increased to 212k req/s,
or 9.2% faster. This patch implements this for architectures supporting
unaligned accesses (x86_64, x86, armv7a). Maybe other architectures can
benefit from this but they were not tested yet.
We used to have 7 different character classes, each was 256 bytes long,
resulting in almost 2kB being used in the L1 cache. It's as cheap to
test a bit than to check the byte is not null, so let's store a 7-bit
composite value and check for the respective bits there instead.
The executable is now 4 kB smaller and the performance on small
objects increased by about 1% to 222k requests/second with a config
involving 4 http-request rules including 1 header lookup, one header
replacement, and 2 variable assignments.
Tq is the time between the instant the connection is accepted and a
complete valid request is received. This time includes the handshake
(SSL / Proxy-Protocol), the idle when the browser does preconnect and
the request reception.
This patch decomposes %Tq in 3 measurements names %Th, %Ti, and %TR
which returns respectively the handshake time, the idle time and the
duration of valid request reception. It also adds %Ta which reports
the request's active time, which is the total time without %Th nor %Ti.
It replaces %Tt as the total time, reporting accurate measurements for
HTTP persistent connections.
%Th is avalaible for TCP and HTTP sessions, %Ti, %TR and %Ta are only
avalaible for HTTP connections.
In addition to this, we have new timestamps %tr, %trg and %trl, which
log the date of start of receipt of the request, respectively in the
default format, in GMT time and in local time (by analogy with %t, %T
and %Tl). All of them are obviously only available for HTTP. These values
are more relevant as they more accurately represent the request date
without being skewed by a browser's preconnect nor a keep-alive idle
time.
The HTTP log format and the CLF log format have been modified to
use %tr, %TR, and %Ta respectively instead of %t, %Tq and %Tt. This
way the default log formats now produce the expected output for users
who don't want to manually fiddle with the log-format directive.
Example with the following log-format :
log-format "%ci:%cp [%tr] %ft %b/%s h=%Th/i=%Ti/R=%TR/w=%Tw/c=%Tc/r=%Tr/a=%Ta/t=%Tt %ST %B %CC %CS %tsc %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc %sq/%bq %hr %hs %{+Q}r"
The request was sent by hand using "openssl s_client -connect" :
Aug 23 14:43:20 haproxy[25446]: 127.0.0.1:45636 [23/Aug/2016:14:43:20.221] test~ test/test h=6/i=2375/R=261/w=0/c=1/r=0/a=262/t=2643 200 145 - - ---- 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
=> 6 ms of SSL handshake, 2375 waiting before sending the first char (in
fact the time to type the first line), 261 ms before the end of the request,
no time spent in queue, 1 ms spend connecting to the server, immediate
response, total active time for this request = 262ms. Total time from accept
to close : 2643 ms.
The timing now decomposes like this :
first request 2nd request
|<-------------------------------->|<-------------- ...
t tr t tr ...
---|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|--
: Th Ti TR Tw Tc Tr Td : Ti ...
:<---- Tq ---->: :

Ruoshan Huang found that the call to session_inc_http_err_ctr() in the
recent http-response patch was not a good idea because it also increments
counters that are already tracked (eg: http-request track-sc or previous
http-response track-sc). Better open-code the update, it's simple.
This enables tracking of sticky counters from current response. The only
difference from "http-request track-sc" is the <key> sample expression
can only make use of samples in response (eg. res.*, status etc.) and
samples below Layer 6.
In commit 9962f8fc (BUG/MEDIUM: http: unbreak uri/header/url_param hashing), we
take care to update 'msg->sov' value when the parser changes to state
HTTP_MSG_DONE. This works when no filter is used. But, if a filter is used and
if it loops on 'http_end' callback, the following block is evaluated two times
consecutively:
if (unlikely(!(chn->flags & CF_WROTE_DATA) || msg->sov > 0))
msg->sov -= ret;
Today, in practice, because this happens when all data are parsed and forwarded,
the second test always fails (after the first update, msg->sov is always lower
or equal to 0). But it is useless and error prone. So to avoid misunderstanding
the code has been slightly changed. Now, in all cases, we try to update msg->sov
only once per iteration.
No backport is needed.
Vedran Furac reported that "balance uri" doesn't work anymore in recent
1.7-dev versions. Dragan Dosen found that the first faulty commit was
dbe34eb ("MEDIUM: filters/http: Move body parsing of HTTP messages in
dedicated functions"), merged in 1.7-dev2.
After this patch, the hashing is performed on uninitialized data,
indicating that the buffer is not correctly rewound. In fact, all forms
of content-based hashing are broken since the commit above. Upon code
inspection, it appears that the new functions http_msg_forward_chunked_body()
and http_msg_forward_body() forget to rewind the buffer in the success
case, when the parser changes to state HTTP_MSG_DONE. The rewinding code
was reinserted in both functions and the fix was confirmed by two test,
with and without chunking.
No backport it needed.
Kay Fuchs reported that the error message is misleading in response
captures because it suggests that "len" is accepted while it's not.
This needs to be backported to 1.6.
A filter can choose to loop on data forwarding. When this loop occurs in
HTTP_MSG_ENDING state, http_foward_data callbacks are called twice because of a
goto on the wrong label.
A filter can also choose to loop at the end of a HTTP message, in http_end
callback. Here the goto is good but the label is not at the right place. We must
be sure to upate msg->sov value.
In function smp_fetch_url32_src(), it's better to check the value of
cli_conn before we go any further.
This patch needs to be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
This is similar to the commit 5ad6e1dc ("BUG/MINOR: http: base32+src
should use the big endian version of base32"). Now we convert url32 to big
endian when building the binary block.
This patch needs to be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
If we use the action "http-request add-header" with a Lua sample-fetch or
converter, and the Lua function calls one of the Lua log function, the
header name is corrupted, it contains an extract of the last loggued data.
This is due to an overwrite of the trash buffer, because his scope is not
respected in the "add-header" function. The scope of the trash buffer must
be limited to the function using it. The build_logline() function can
execute a lot of other function which can use the trash buffer.
This patch fix the usage of the trash buffer. It limits the scope of this
global buffer to the local function, we build first the header value using
build_logline, and after we store the header name.
Thanks Michael Ezzell for the repporting.
This patch must be backported in 1.6 version
The header name is copied two time in the buffer. The first copy is a printf-like
function writing the name and the http separators in the buffer, and the second
form is a memcopy. This seems to be inherited from some changes. This patch
removes the printf like, format.
This patch must be backported in 1.6 and 1.5 versions
The 'set-src' action was not available for tcp actions The action code
has been converted into a function in proto_tcp.c to be used for both
'http-request' and 'tcp-request connection' actions.
Both http and tcp keywords are registered in proto_tcp.c
Commit 108b1dd ("MEDIUM: http: configurable http result codes for
http-request deny") introduced in 1.6-dev2 was incomplete. It introduced
a new field "rule_deny_status" into struct http_txn, which is filled only
by actions "http-request deny" and "http-request tarpit". It's then used
in the deny code path to emit the proper error message, but is used
uninitialized when the deny comes from a "reqdeny" rule, causing random
behaviours ranging from returning a 200, an empty response, or crashing
the process. Often upon startup only 200 was returned but after the fields
are used the crash happens. This can be sped up using -dM.
There's no need at all for storing this status in the http_txn struct
anyway since it's used immediately after being set. Let's store it in
a temporary variable instead which is passed as an argument to function
http_req_get_intercept_rule().
As an extra benefit, removing it from struct http_txn reduced the size
of this struct by 8 bytes.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 where the bug was detected. Special
thanks to Falco Schmutz for his detailed report including an exploitable
core and a reproducer.
When compiled with GCC 6, the IP address specified for a frontend was
ignored and HAProxy was listening on all addresses instead. This is
caused by an incomplete copy of a "struct sockaddr_storage".
With the GNU Libc, "struct sockaddr_storage" is defined as this:
struct sockaddr_storage
{
sa_family_t ss_family;
unsigned long int __ss_align;
char __ss_padding[(128 - (2 * sizeof (unsigned long int)))];
};
Doing an aggregate copy (ss1 = ss2) is different than using memcpy():
only members of the aggregate have to be copied. Notably, padding can be
or not be copied. In GCC 6, some optimizations use this fact and if a
"struct sockaddr_storage" contains a "struct sockaddr_in", the port and
the address are part of the padding (between sa_family and __ss_align)
and can be not copied over.
Therefore, we replace any aggregate copy by a memcpy(). There is another
place using the same pattern. We also fix a function receiving a "struct
sockaddr_storage" by copy instead of by reference. Since it only needs a
read-only copy, the function is converted to request a reference.
Since client-side HTTP keep-alive was introduced in 1.4-dev, a good
number of corner cases had to be dealt with. One of them remained and
caused some occasional CPU spikes that Cyril Bonté had the opportunity
to observe from time to time and even recently to capture for deeper
analysis.
What happens is the following scenario :
1) a client sends a first request which causes the server to respond
using chunked encoding
2) the server starts to respond with a large response that doesn't
fit into a single buffer
3) the response buffer fills up with the response
4) the client reads the response while it is being sent by the server.
5) haproxy eventually receives the end of the response from the server,
which occupies the whole response buffer (must at least override the
reserve), parses it and prepares to receive a second request while
sending the last data blocks to the client. It then reinitializes the
whole http_txn and calls http_wait_for_request(), which arms the
http-request timeout.
6) at this exact moment the client emits a second request, probably
asking for an object referenced in the first page while parsing it
on the fly, and silently disappears from the internet (internet
access cut or software having trouble with pipelined request).
7) the second request arrives into the request buffer and the response
data stall in the response buffer, preventing the reserve from being
used for anything else.
8) haproxy calls http_wait_for_request() to parse the next request which
has just arrived, but since it sees the response buffer is full, it
refrains from doing so and waits for some data to leave or a timeout
to strike.
9) the http-request timeout strikes, causing http_wait_for_request() to
be called again, and the function immediately returns since it cannot
even produce an error message, and the loop is maintained here.
10) the client timeout strikes, aborting the loop.
At first glance a check for timeout would be needed *before* considering
the buffer in http_wait_for_request(), but the issue is not there in fact,
because when doing so we see in the logs a client timeout error while
waiting for a request, which is wrong. The real issue is that we must not
consider the first transaction terminated until at least the reserve is
released so that http_wait_for_request() has no problem starting to process
a new request. This allows the first response to be reported in timeout and
not the second request. A more restrictive control could consist in not
considering the request complete until the response buffer has no more
outgoing data but this brings no added value and needlessly increases the
number of wake-ups when dealing with pipelining.
Note that the same issue exists with the request, we must ensure that any
POST data are finished being forwarded to the server before accepting a new
request. This case is much harder to trigger however as servers rarely
disappear and if they do so, they impact all their sessions at once.
No specific reproducer is usable because the bug is very hard to reproduce
and depends on the system as well with settings varying across reboots. On
a test machine, socket buffers were reduced to 4096 (tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem),
haproxy's buffers were set to 16384 and tune.maxrewrite to 12288. The proxy
must work in http-server-close mode, with a request timeout smaller than the
client timeout. The test is run like this :
$ (printf "GET /15000 HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n"; usleep 100000; \
printf "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"; sleep 15) | nc6 --send-only 0 8002
The server returns chunks of the requested size (15000 bytes here, but
78000 in a previous test was the only working value). Strace must show the
last recvfrom() succeed and the last sendto() being shorter than desired or
better, not being called.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, 1.5 and 1.4. It was made in a way that
should make it possible to backport it. It depends on channel_congested()
which also needs to be backported. Further cleanup of http_wait_for_request()
could be made given that some of the tests are now useless.
Commit dbe34eb ("MEDIUM: filters/http: Move body parsing of HTTP
messages in dedicated functions") introduced a bug in function
http_response_forward_body() by getting rid of the while(1) loop.
The code immediately following the loop was only reachable on missing
data but now it's also reachable under normal conditions, which used
to be dealt with by the skip_resync_state label returning zero. The
side effect is that in http_server_close situations, the channel's
SHUTR flag is seen and considered as a server error which is reported
if any other error happens (eg: client timeout).
This bug is specific to 1.7, no backport is needed.
The following patch allow to log cookie for tarpit and denied request.
This minor bug affect at least 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 branch.
The solution is not perfect : may be the cookie processing
(manage_client_side_cookies) can be moved into http_process_req_common.
first, we modify the signatures of http_msg_forward_body and
http_msg_forward_chunked_body as they are declared as inline
below. Secondly, just verify the returns of the chunk initialization
which holds the Authorization Method (althought it is unlikely to fail ...).
Both from gcc warnings.
Instead of repeating the type of the LHS argument (sizeof(struct ...))
in calls to malloc/calloc, we directly use the pointer
name (sizeof(*...)). The following Coccinelle patch was used:

x = malloc(
- sizeof(T)
+ sizeof(*x)
)
@@
type T;

@@
x = calloc(1,

When the LHS is not just a variable name, no change is made. Moreover,
the following patch was used to ensure that "1" is consistently used as
a first argument of calloc, not the last one:
@@
@@
calloc(

...

In C89, "void *" is automatically promoted to any pointer type. Casting
the result of malloc/calloc to the type of the LHS variable is therefore
unneeded.
Most of this patch was built using this Coccinelle patch:

Unfortunately, either Coccinelle or I is too limited to detect situation
where a complex RHS expression is of type "void *" and therefore casting
is not needed. Those cases were manually examined and corrected.
There are two issues with error captures. The first one is that the
capture size is still hard-coded to BUFSIZE regardless of any possible
tune.bufsize setting and of the fact that frontends only capture request
errors and that backends only capture response errors. The second is that
captures are allocated in both directions for all proxies, which start to
count a lot in configs using thousands of proxies.
This patch changes this so that error captures are allocated only when
needed, and of the proper size. It also refrains from dumping a buffer
that was not allocated, which still allows to emit all relevant info
such as flags and HTTP states. This way it is possible to save up to
32 kB of RAM per proxy in the default configuration.
This patch adds a sample fetch which returns the unique-id if it is
configured. If the unique-id is not yet generated, it build it. If
the unique-id is not configured, it returns none.
Similar issue was fixed in 67dad27, but the fix is incomplete. Crash still
happened when utilizing req.fhdr() and sending exactly MAX_HDR_HISTORY
headers.
This fix needs to be backported to 1.5 and 1.6.

Cyril reported that recent commit 320ec2a ("BUG/MEDIUM: chunks: always
reject negative-length chunks") introduced a build warning because gcc
cannot guess that we can't fall into the case where the auth_method
chunk is not initialized.
This patch addresses it, though for the long term it would be best
if chunk_initlen() would always initialize the result.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5 where the aforementionned
fix was already backported.
The output for each field is :
field:<origin><nature><scope>:type:value
where field reminds the type of the object being dumped as well as its
position (pid, iid, sid), field number and field name. This way a
monitoring utility may very well report all available information without
knowing new fields in advance.
This format is also supported in the HTTP version of the stats by adding
";typed" after the URI, instead of ";csv" for the CSV format.
The doc was not updated yet.
This is the continuation of previous patch called "BUG/MAJOR: samples:
check smp->strm before using it".
It happens that variables may have a session-wide scope, and that their
session is retrieved by dereferencing the stream. But nothing prevents them
from being used from a streamless context such as tcp-request connection,
thus crashing the process. Example :
tcp-request connection accept if { src,set-var(sess.foo) -m found }
In order to fix this, we have to always ensure that variable manipulation
only happens via the sample, which contains the correct owner and context,
and that we never use one from a different source. This results in quite a
large change since a lot of functions are inderctly involved in the call
chain, but the change is easy to follow.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, and requires the last two patches.
Since commit 6879ad3 ("MEDIUM: sample: fill the struct sample with the
session, proxy and stream pointers") merged in 1.6-dev2, the sample
contains the pointer to the stream and sample fetch functions as well
as converters use it heavily.
The problem is that earlier commit 87b0966 ("REORG/MAJOR: session:
rename the "session" entity to "stream"") had split the session and
stream resulting in the possibility for smp->strm to be NULL before
the stream was initialized. This is what happens in tcp-request
connection rulesets, as discovered by Baptiste.
The sample fetch functions must now check that smp->strm is valid
before using it. An alternative could consist in using a dummy stream
with nothing in it to avoid some checks but it would only result in
deferring them to the next step anyway, and making it harder to detect
that a stream is valid or the dummy one.
There is still an issue with variables which requires a complete
independant fix. They use strm->sess to find the session with strm
possibly NULL and passed as an argument. All call places indirectly
use smp->strm to build strm. So the problem is there but the API needs
to be changed to remove this duplicate argument that makes it much
harder to know what pointer to use.
This fix must be backported to 1.6, as well as the next one fixing
variables.
This is an improvement, especially when the message body is big. Before this
patch, remaining data were forwarded when there is no filter on the stream. Now,
the forwarding is triggered when there is no "data" filter on the channel. When
no filter is used, there is no difference, but when at least one filter is used,
it can be really significative.
Now, http_parse_chunk_size and http_skip_chunk_crlf return the number of bytes
parsed on success. http_skip_chunk_crlf does not use msg->sol anymore.
On the other hand, http_forward_trailers is unchanged. It returns >0 if the end
of trailers is reached and 0 if not. In all cases (except if an error is
encountered), msg->sol contains the length of the last parsed part of the
trailer headers.
Internal doc and comments about msg->sol has been updated accordingly.
Before, functions to filter HTTP body (and TCP data) were called from the moment
at least one filter was attached to the stream. If no filter is interested by
these data, this uselessly slows data parsing.
A good example is the HTTP compression filter. Depending of request and response
headers, the response compression can be enabled or not. So it could be really
nice to call it only when enabled.
So, now, to filter HTTP/TCP data, a filter must use the function
register_data_filter. For TCP streams, this function can be called only
once. But for HTTP streams, when needed, it must be called for each HTTP request
or HTTP response.
Only registered filters will be called during data parsing. At any time, a
filter can be unregistered by calling the function unregister_data_filter.
Now body parsing is done in http_msg_forward_body and
http_msg_forward_chunked_body functions, regardless of whether we parse a
request or a response.
Parsing result is still handled in http_request_forward_body and
http_response_forward_body functions.
This patch will ease futur optimizations, mainly on filters.
This new analyzer will be called for each HTTP request/response, before the
parsing of the body. It is identified by AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS.
Special care was taken about the following condition :
* the frontend is a TCP proxy
* filters are defined in the frontend section
* the selected backend is a HTTP proxy
So, this patch explicitly add AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS analyzer on the request and the
response channels when the backend is a HTTP proxy and when there are filters
attatched on the stream.
This patch simplifies http_request_forward_body and http_response_forward_body
functions.
For Chunked HTTP request/response, the body filtering can be really
expensive. In the worse case (many chunks of 1 bytes), the filters overhead is
of 3 calls per chunk. If http_data callback is useful, others are just
informative.
So these callbacks has been removed. Of course, existing filters (trace and
compression) has beeen updated accordingly. For the HTTP compression filter, the
update is quite huge. Its implementation is closer to the old one.
When no filter is attached to the stream, the CPU footprint due to the calls to
filters_* functions is huge, especially for chunk-encoded messages. Using macros
to check if we have some filters or not is a great improvement.
Furthermore, instead of checking the filter list emptiness, we introduce a flag
to know if filters are attached or not to a stream.
HTTP compression has been rewritten to use the filter API. This is more a PoC
than other thing for now. It allocates memory to work. So, if only for that, it
should be rewritten.
In the mean time, the implementation has been refactored to allow its use with
other filters. However, there are limitations that should be respected:
- No filter placed after the compression one is allowed to change input data
(in 'http_data' callback).
- No filter placed before the compression one is allowed to change forwarded
data (in 'http_forward_data' callback).
For now, these limitations are informal, so you should be careful when you use
several filters.
About the configuration, 'compression' keywords are still supported and must be
used to configure the HTTP compression behavior. In absence of a 'filter' line
for the compression filter, it is added in the filter chain when the first
compression' line is parsed. This is an easy way to do when you do not use other
filters. But another filter exists, an error is reported so that the user must
explicitly declare the filter.
For example:
listen tst
...
compression algo gzip
compression offload
...
filter flt_1
filter compression
filter flt_2
...
HTTP compression will be moved in a true filter. To prepare the ground, some
functions have been moved in a dedicated file. Idea is to keep everything about
compression algos in compression.c and everything related to the filtering in
flt_http_comp.c.
For now, a header has been added to help during the transition. It will be
removed later.
Unused empty ACL keyword list was removed. The "compression" keyword
parser was moved from cfgparse.c to flt_http_comp.c.
This patch adds the support of filters in HAProxy. The main idea is to have a
way to "easely" extend HAProxy by adding some "modules", called filters, that
will be able to change HAProxy behavior in a programmatic way.
To do so, many entry points has been added in code to let filters to hook up to
different steps of the processing. A filter must define a flt_ops sutrctures
(see include/types/filters.h for details). This structure contains all available
callbacks that a filter can define:
struct flt_ops {
/*
* Callbacks to manage the filter lifecycle
*/
int (*init) (struct proxy *p);
void (*deinit)(struct proxy *p);
int (*check) (struct proxy *p);
/*
* Stream callbacks
*/
void (*stream_start) (struct stream *s);
void (*stream_accept) (struct stream *s);
void (*session_establish)(struct stream *s);
void (*stream_stop) (struct stream *s);
/*
* HTTP callbacks
*/
int (*http_start) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_start_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_data) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_last_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_chunk) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_chunk_trailers)(struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_end_body) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_end) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reset) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_pre_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
int (*http_post_process) (struct stream *s, struct http_msg *msg);
void (*http_reply) (struct stream *s, short status,
const struct chunk *msg);
};
To declare and use a filter, in the configuration, the "filter" keyword must be
used in a listener/frontend section:
frontend test
...
filter <FILTER-NAME> [OPTIONS...]
The filter referenced by the <FILTER-NAME> must declare a configuration parser
on its own name to fill flt_ops and filter_conf field in the proxy's
structure. An exemple will be provided later to make it perfectly clear.
For now, filters cannot be used in backend section. But this is only a matter of
time. Documentation will also be added later. This is the first commit of a long
list about filters.
It is possible to have several filters on the same listener/frontend. These
filters are stored in an array of at most MAX_FILTERS elements (define in
include/types/filters.h). Again, this will be replaced later by a list of
filters.
The filter API has been highly refactored. Main changes are:
* Now, HA supports an infinite number of filters per proxy. To do so, filters
are stored in list.
* Because filters are stored in list, filters state has been moved from the
channel structure to the filter structure. This is cleaner because there is no
more info about filters in channel structure.
* It is possible to defined filters on backends only. For such filters,
stream_start/stream_stop callbacks are not called. Of course, it is possible
to mix frontend and backend filters.
* Now, TCP streams are also filtered. All callbacks without the 'http_' prefix
are called for all kind of streams. In addition, 2 new callbacks were added to
filter data exchanged through a TCP stream:
- tcp_data: it is called when new data are available or when old unprocessed
data are still waiting.
- tcp_forward_data: it is called when some data can be consumed.
* New callbacks attached to channel were added:
- channel_start_analyze: it is called when a filter is ready to process data
exchanged through a channel. 2 new analyzers (a frontend and a backend)
are attached to channels to call this callback. For a frontend filter, it
is called before any other analyzer. For a backend filter, it is called
when a backend is attached to a stream. So some processing cannot be
filtered in that case.
- channel_analyze: it is called before each analyzer attached to a channel,
expects analyzers responsible for data sending.
- channel_end_analyze: it is called when all other analyzers have finished
their processing. A new analyzers is attached to channels to call this
callback. For a TCP stream, this is always the last one called. For a HTTP
one, the callback is called when a request/response ends, so it is called
one time for each request/response.
* 'session_established' callback has been removed. Everything that is done in
this callback can be handled by 'channel_start_analyze' on the response
channel.
* 'http_pre_process' and 'http_post_process' callbacks have been replaced by
'channel_analyze'.
* 'http_start' callback has been replaced by 'http_headers'. This new one is
called just before headers sending and parsing of the body.
* 'http_end' callback has been replaced by 'channel_end_analyze'.
* It is possible to set a forwarder for TCP channels. It was already possible to
do it for HTTP ones.
* Forwarders can partially consumed forwardable data. For this reason a new
HTTP message state was added before HTTP_MSG_DONE : HTTP_MSG_ENDING.
Now all filters can define corresponding callbacks (http_forward_data
and tcp_forward_data). Each filter owns 2 offsets relative to buf->p, next and
forward, to track, respectively, input data already parsed but not forwarded yet
by the filter and parsed data considered as forwarded by the filter. A any time,
we have the warranty that a filter cannot parse or forward more input than
previous ones. And, of course, it cannot forward more input than it has
parsed. 2 macros has been added to retrieve these offets: FLT_NXT and FLT_FWD.
In addition, 2 functions has been added to change the 'next size' and the
'forward size' of a filter. When a filter parses input data, it can alter these
data, so the size of these data can vary. This action has an effet on all
previous filters that must be handled. To do so, the function
'filter_change_next_size' must be called, passing the size variation. In the
same spirit, if a filter alter forwarded data, it must call the function
'filter_change_forward_size'. 'filter_change_next_size' can be called in
'http_data' and 'tcp_data' callbacks and only these ones. And
'filter_change_forward_size' can be called in 'http_forward_data' and
'tcp_forward_data' callbacks and only these ones. The data changes are the
filter responsability, but with some limitation. It must not change already
parsed/forwarded data or data that previous filters have not parsed/forwarded
yet.
Because filters can be used on backends, when we the backend is set for a
stream, we add filters defined for this backend in the filter list of the
stream. But we must only do that when the backend and the frontend of the stream
are not the same. Else same filters are added a second time leading to undefined
behavior.
The HTTP compression code had to be moved.
So it simplifies http_response_forward_body function. To do so, the way the data
are forwarded has changed. Now, a filter (and only one) can forward data. In a
commit to come, this limitation will be removed to let all filters take part to
data forwarding. There are 2 new functions that filters should use to deal with
this feature:
* flt_set_http_data_forwarder: This function sets the filter (using its id)
that will forward data for the specified HTTP message. It is possible if it
was not already set by another filter _AND_ if no data was yet forwarded
(msg->msg_state <= HTTP_MSG_BODY). It returns -1 if an error occurs.
* flt_http_data_forwarder: This function returns the filter id that will
forward data for the specified HTTP message. If there is no forwarder set, it
returns -1.
When an HTTP data forwarder is set for the response, the HTTP compression is
disabled. Of course, this is not definitive.
When working on the previous bug, it appeared that it the case that was
triggering the bug would also work between two backends, one of which
doesn't support http-reuse. The reason is that while the idle connection
is moved to the private pool, upon reuse we only check if it holds the
CO_FL_PRIVATE flag. And we don't set this flag when there's no reuse.
So let's always set it in this case, it will guarantee that no undesired
connection sharing may happen.
This fix must be backported to 1.6.
Gregor KovaÄ reported that http_date() did not return the right day of the
week. For example "Sat, 22 Jan 2016 17:43:38 GMT" instead of "Fri, 22 Jan
2016 17:43:38 GMT". Indeed, gmtime() returns a 'struct tm' result, where
tm_wday begins on Sunday, whereas the code assumed it began on Monday.
This patch must be backported to haproxy 1.5 and 1.6.
The function http_reply_and_close has been added in proto_http.c to wrap calls
to stream_int_retnclose. This functions will be modified when the filters will
be added.
When the response body is forwarded, if the server closes the input before the
end, an error is thrown. But if the data processing is too slow, all data could
already be received and pending in the input buffer. So this is a bug to stop
processing in this context. The server doesn't really closed the input before
the end.
As an example, this could happen when HAProxy is configured to do compression
offloading. If the server closes the connection explicitly after the response
(keep-alive disabled by the server) and if HAProxy receives the data faster than
they are compressed, then the response could be truncated.
This patch fixes the bug by checking if some pending data remain in the input
buffer before returning an error. If yes, the processing continues.
Several cases of "<=" instead of "<" were found in the url_param parser,
mostly affecting the case where the parameter is wrapping. They shouldn't
affect header operations, just body parsing in a wrapped pipelined request.
The code is a bit complicated with certain operations done multiple times
in multiple functions, so it's not sure others are not left. This code
must be re-audited.
It should only be backported to 1.6 once carefully tested, because it is
possible that other bugs relied on these ones.
Krishna Kumar reported that the following configuration doesn't permit
HTTP reuse between two clients :
frontend private-frontend
mode http
bind :8001
default_backend private-backend
backend private-backend
mode http
http-reuse always
server bck 127.0.0.1:8888
The reason for this is that in http_end_txn_clean_session() we check the
stream's backend backend's http-reuse option before deciding whether the
backend connection should be moved back to the server's pool or not. But
since we're doing this after the call to http_reset_txn(), the backend is
reset to match the frontend, which doesn't have the option. However it
will work fine in a setup involving a "listen" section.
We just need to keep a pointer to the current backend before calling
http_reset_txn(). The code does that and replaces the few remaining
references to s->be inside the same function so that if any part of
code were to be moved later, this trap doesn't happen again.
This fix must be backported to 1.6.
Currently urlp fetching samples were able to find parameters with an empty
value, but the return code depended on the value length. The final result was
that acls using urlp couldn't match empty values.
Example of acl which always returned "false":
acl MATCH_EMPTY urlp(foo) -m len 0
The fix consists in unconditionally return 1 when the parameter is found.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 and 1.5.
There is a bug where "option http-keep-alive" doesn't force a response
to stay in keep-alive if the server sends the FIN along with the response
on the second or subsequent response. The reason is that the auto-close
was forced enabled when recycling the HTTP transaction and it's never
disabled along the response processing chain before the SHUTR gets a
chance to be forwarded to the client side. The MSG_DONE state of the
HTTP response properly disables it but too late.
There's no more reason for enabling auto-close here, because either it
doesn't matter in non-keep-alive modes because the connection is closed,
or it is automatically enabled by process_stream() when it sees there's
no analyser on the stream.
This bug also affects 1.5 so a backport is desired.
When a server timeout is detected on the second or nth request of a keep-alive
connection, HAProxy closes the connection without writing a response.
Some clients would fail with a remote disconnected exception and some
others would retry potentially unsafe requests.
This patch removes the special case and makes sure a 504 timeout is
written back whenever a server timeout is handled.

Cyril Bonté reported a reproduceable sequence which can lead to a crash
when using backend connection reuse. The problem comes from the fact that
we systematically add the server connection to an idle pool at the end of
the HTTP transaction regardless of the fact that it might already be there.
This is possible for example when processing a request which doesn't use
a server connection (typically a redirect) after a request which used a
connection. Then after the first request, the connection was already in
the idle queue and we're putting it a second time at the end of the second
request, causing a corruption of the idle pool.
Interestingly, the memory debugger in 1.7 immediately detected a suspicious
double free on the connection, leading to a very early detection of the
cause instead of its consequences.
Thanks to Cyril for quickly providing a working reproducer.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 since connection reuse was introduced
there.
The 'OPTIONS' method was not in the list of supported HTTP methods and
find_http_meth return HTTP_METH_OTHER instead of HTTP_METH_OPTIONS.
[wt: this fix needs to be backported at least to 1.5, 1.4 and 1.3]
This flag is used by custom actions to know that they're called for the
first time. The only case where it's not set is when they're resuming
from a yield. It will be needed to let them know when they have to
allocate some resources.
In HTTP it's more difficult to know when to pass the flag or not
because all actions are supposed to be final and there's no inspection
delay. Also, the input channel may very well be closed without this
being an error. So we only set the flag when option abortonclose is
set and the input channel is closed, which is the only case where the
user explicitly wants to forward a close down the chain.
Since commit bc4c1ac ("MEDIUM: http/tcp: permit to resume http and tcp
custom actions"), some actions may yield and be called back when new
information are available. Unfortunately some of them may continue to
yield because they simply don't know that it's the last call from the
rule set. For this reason we'll need to pass a flag to the custom
action to pass such information and possibly other at the same time.
When we call the function smp_prefetch_http(), if the txn is not initialized,
it doesn't work. This patch fix this. Now, smp_prefecth_http() permits to use
http with any proxy mode.
