I noticed it was possible to get truncated http/csv stats. Sometimes.
Usually the problem disappeared as fast as it appeared, but once it
happend that my http-stats page was truncated for about one hour.
It was quite weird as it happened independently for csv and http
output and it took me some time to track & fix this bug.
Both buffer_write & buffer_write_chunk used to return 0 in two
situations: is case of success or where there was exactly 0 bytes
left. The first one is intentional but I believe the second one
is not as it was not possible to distinguish between successful
write and unsuccessful one, which means that if the buffer was 100%
filled, it was never flushed and it was not possible to write
more data.
This patch fixes this problem.
The result of the vsnprintf() called in chunk_printf() must be checked,
and should be added only if lower than the requested size. We simply
return zero if we cannot write the chunk.
Two new functions http_header_add_tail() and http_header_add_tail2()
make it easier to append headers, and also reduce the number of
sprintf() calls and perform stricter checks.
The HTTP parser has been rewritten for better compliance to RFC2616.
The same parser is now usable for both requests and responses, and
it now supports HTTP/0.9 as well as multi-line headers. It has also
been improved for speed ; a typicial HTTP request is parsed in about
2 microseconds on a 1 GHz processor.
The monitor-uri check has been moved so that the requests are not
logged. The httpclose option now tries to change as little as
possible in the request, and does not affect the first header if
it is already set to 'close'. HTTP/0.9 requests are converted to
HTTP/1.0 before being forwarded.
Headers and request transformations are now distinct. The headers
list is updated after each insertion/removal/transformation. The
request is re-parsed and checked after each transformation. It is
not possible anymore to remove a request, and requests which lead
to invalid request lines are now rejected.
The stats page could not tell the difference between a FE and a BE.
It has been revamped to indicate all relevant information. The font
is also slightly smaller in order for all the info to fit into small
screens. The data output path has been greatly simplified to use
string chunks.
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.
