A struct http_req has been created to collect every information
related to an HTTP request being processed. Right now, it is
still in the struct session but the frontier is clear now.
Since the introduction of hdr_idx, session_free() had not
been updated to free the header ! It implied a consumption
of about 400 bytes per new session.
There was a confusion about the way to find filters and backend
parameters from sessions. The chaining has been changed between
the session and the proxy.
Now, a session knows only two proxies : one frontend (->fe) and
one backend (->be). Each proxy has a link to the proxy providing
filters and to the proxy providing backend parameters (both self
by default).
The captures (cookies and headers) have been attached to the
frontend's filters for now.
The uri_auth and the statistics are attached to the backend's
filters so that the uri can depend on a hostname for instance.
The req_cap, hdr_state, hdr_idx, auth_hdr and req_line have been moved
to a dedicated hreq structure in the session. It makes is easier to
add HTTP-specific fields such as SOR (start of request) and EOF (end
of headers).
It also made it possible to fix two bugs introduced by last commit :
- end of headers not correctly detected
- hdr_idx not freed upon one specific error during session creation
When the backend side will be reworked, it should rely on a similar
structure.
The references to the proxy from the session have been turned into
Frontend (fe), Filters (fi) and Backend (be). This should ease the
migration to the L7 switching features. Next step will be to kill
the struct proxy and have 3 independant structs instead, each
referenced from entities called listener, frontend, filters and
backend.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
