All keywords registered using a cfg_kw_list now make use of the new error reporting
framework. This allows easier and more precise error reporting without having to
deal with complex buffer allocation issues.
The previous sockstream_accept() function uses nothing from sockstream, and
is totally irrelevant to stream interfaces. Move this to the protocols.c
file which handles listeners and protocols, and call it listener_accept().
It now makes much more sense that the code dealing with listen() also handles
accept() and passes it to upper layers.
This is mainly a massive renaming in the code to get it in line with the
calling convention. Next patch will rename a few files to complete this
operation.
All parsing errors were known but impossible to return. Now by making use
of memprintf(), we're able to build meaningful error messages that the
caller can display.
HTTP header fetch is now done using smp_fetch_hdr() for both ACLs and
patterns. This one also supports an occurrence number, making it possible
to specify explicit occurrences for ACLs and patterns.
Patterns were using a bitmask to indicate if request or response was desired
in fetch functions and keywords. ACLs were using a bitmask in fetch keywords
and a single bit in fetch functions. ACLs were also using an ACL_PARTIAL bit
in fetch functions indicating that a non-final fetch was performed, which was
an abuse of the existing direction flag.
The change now consists in using :
- a capabilities field for fetch keywords => SMP_CAP_REQ/RES to indicate
if a keyword supports requests, responses, both, etc...
- an option field for fetch functions to indicate what the caller expects
(request/response, final/non-final)
The ACL_PARTIAL bit was reversed to get SMP_OPT_FINAL as it's more explicit
to know we're working on a final buffer than on a non-final one.
ACL_DIR_* were removed, as well as PATTERN_FETCH_*. L4 fetches were improved
to support being called on responses too since they're still available.
The <dir> field of all fetch functions was changed to <opt> which is now
unsigned.
The patch is large but mostly made of cosmetic changes to accomodate this, as
almost no logic change happened.
Having the args everywhere will make it easier to share fetch functions
between patterns and ACLs. The only place where we could have needed
the expr was in the http_prefetch function which can do well without.
Previously, both pattern, backend and persist_rdp_cookie would build fake
ACL expressions to fetch an RDP cookie by calling acl_fetch_rdp_cookie().
Now we switch roles. The RDP cookie fetch function is provided as a sample
fetch function that all others rely on, including ACL. The code is exactly
the same, only the args handling moved from expr->args to args. The code
was moved to proto_tcp.c, but probably that a dedicated file would be more
suited to content handling.
This change is pretty minor. Struct pattern is only used for
pattern_process() now so changing it to use the common type is
quite obvious. It's worth noting that the last argument of
pattern_process() is never used so the function is self-sufficient.
Note that pattern_process() does not initialize the pattern at all
before calling fetch->process(), and that minimal initialization
will be required when we later change the argument for the sample.
These ones were either unused or improperly used. Some integers were marked
read-only, which does not make much sense. Buffers are not read-only, they're
"constant" in that they must be kept intact after any possible change.
This one is not needed anymore as we can return the data and its type in the
sample provided by the caller. ACLs now always return the proper type. BOOL
is already returned when the result is expected to be processed as a boolean.
temp_pattern has been unexported now.
This flag was used to force a boolean match even if there was no pattern
to match. It was used only by http_auth() and designed only for this one.
It's easier and cleaner to make the fetch function perform the test and
report the boolean result as a few other functions already do. It simplifies
the acl_exec_cond() logic and will help merging ACLs and patterns.
We don't need the pattern-specific args parsers anymore, make use of the
common parser instead. We still need to improve this by adding a validation
function to report abnormal argument values or combinations. We don't report
precise parsing errors yet but this was not previously done either.
arg_i was almost unused, and since we migrated to use struct arg everywhere,
the rare cases where arg_i was needed could be replaced by switching to
arg->type = ARGT_STOP.
make_arg_list() builds an array of typed arguments with their values,
that the caller describes how to parse. This will be used to support
multiple arguments for ACLs and patterns, which is currently problematic
and prevents ACLs and patterns from being merged. Up to 7 arguments types
may be enumerated in a single 32-bit word, including their number of
mandatory parts.
At the moment, these files are not used yet, they're only built. Note that
the 4-bit encoding for the type has left only one unused type!
This is more convenient and efficient than buf->p = b_ptr(buf, n);
It simply advances the buffer's pointer by <n> and trasfers that
amount of bytes from <in> to <out>. The BF_OUT_EMPTY flag is updated
accordingly.
A few occurrences of such computations in buffers.c and stream_sock.c
were updated to use b_adv(), which resulted in a small code shrink.
buffer_wrap_add was convenient for the migration but is not handy at all.
Let's have new wrappers that report input begin/end and output begin/end
instead.
It looks like we'll also need a b_adv(ofs) to advance a buffer's pointer.
buffer_ignore may only be used when the output of a buffer is empty,
but it's not granted it is always the case when sending HTTP error
responses. Better use buffer_cut_tail() instead, and use buffer_ignore
only on non-wrapping data.
The buffer's pointer <lr> was only used by HTTP parsers which also use a
struct http_msg to keep track of the parser's state. We've reached a point
where it makes no sense to keep ->lr in the buffer, as the split between
buffer and msg is only arbitrary for historical reasons.
This change ensures that touching buffers will not impact HTTP messages
anymore, making the buffers more content-agnostic. However, it becomes
very important not to forget to update msg->next when some data get
forwarded or moved (and in general each time buf->p is updated).
The new pointer in http_msg becomes relative to buffer->p so that
parsing multiple messages becomes easier. It is possible that at one
point ->som and ->next will be merged.
Note: http_parse_reqline() and http_parse_stsline() have been temporarily
modified to know the message starting point in the buffer (->p).
This change gets rid of buf->r which is always equal to buf->p + buf->i.
It removed some wrapping detection at a number of places, but required addition
of new relative offset computations at other locations. A large number of places
can be simplified now with extreme care, since most of the time, either the
pointer has to be computed once or we need a difference between the old ->w and
old ->r to compute free space. The cleanup will probably happen with the rewrite
of the buffer_input_* and buffer_output_* functions anyway.
buf->lr still has to move to the struct http_msg and be relative to buf->p
for the rework to be complete.
This change introduces the buffer's base pointer, which is the limit between
incoming and outgoing data. It's the point where the parsing should start
from. A number of computations have already been greatly simplified, but
more simplifications are expected to come from the removal of buf->r.
The changes appear good and have revealed occasional improper use of some
pointers. It is possible that this patch has introduced bugs or revealed
some, although preliminary testings tend to indicate that everything still
works as it should.
We don't have buf->l anymore. We have buf->i for pending data and
the total length is retrieved by adding buf->o. Some computation
already become simpler.
Despite extreme care, bugs are not excluded.
It's worth noting that msg->err_pos as set by HTTP request/response
analysers becomes relative to pending data and not to the beginning
of the buffer. This has not been completed yet so differences might
occur when outgoing data are left in the buffer.
These callbacks are used to retrieve the source and destination address
of a socket. The address flags are not hold on the stream interface and
not on the session anymore. The addresses are collected when needed.
This still needs to be improved to store the IP and port separately so
that it is not needed to perform a getsockname() when only the IP address
is desired for outgoing traffic.
The Unique ID, is an ID generated with several informations. You can use
a log-format string to customize it, with the "unique-id-format" keyword,
and insert it in the request header, with the "unique-id-header" keyword.

memcmp()/strcmp() calls were needed in different parts of code to determine
the status code. Each new status code introduces new calls, which can become
inefficient and source of bugs.
This patch reorganizes the code to rely on a numeric status code internally
and to be hopefully more generic.
Previously, the stats admin page required POST parameters to be provided
exactly in the same order as the HTML form.
This patch allows to handle those parameters in any orders.
Also, note that haproxy won't alter server states anymore if backend or server
names are ambiguous (duplicated names in the configuration) to prevent
unexpected results (the same should probably be applied to the stats socket).
Commit a1cc38 introduced a regression which was easy to trigger till ad4cd58
(snapshots 20120222 to 20120311 included). The bug was still present after
that but harder to trigger.
The bug is caused by the use of two distinct log buffers due to intermediary
changes. The issue happens when an HTTP request is logged just after a TCP
request during the same second and the HTTP request is too large for the buffer.
In this case, it happens that the HTTP request is logged into the TCP buffer
instead and that length controls can't detect anything.
Starting with bddd4f, the issue is still possible when logging too large an
HTTP request just after a send_log() call (typically a server status change).
We owe a big thanks to Sander Klein for testing several snapshots and more
specifically for taking significant risks in production by letting the buggy
version crash several times in order to provide an exploitable core ! The bug
could not have been found without this precious help. Thank you Sander !
This fix does not need to be backported, it did not affect any released version.
Merge http_sess_log() and tcp_sess_log() to sess_log() and move it to

Note that due to the way log buffer allocation currently works, trying to
log an HTTP request without "option httplog" is still not possible. This
will change in the near future.
A number of offset computation functions use struct buffer* arguments
and return integers without modifying the input. Using consts helps
simplifying some operations in callers.
The principle behind this load balancing algorithm was first imagined
and modeled by Steen Larsen then iteratively refined through several
work sessions until it would totally address its original goal.
The purpose of this algorithm is to always use the smallest number of
servers so that extra servers can be powered off during non-intensive
hours. Additional tools may be used to do that work, possibly by
locally monitoring the servers' activity.
The first server with available connection slots receives the connection.
The servers are choosen from the lowest numeric identifier to the highest
(see server parameter "id"), which defaults to the server's position in
the farm. Once a server reaches its maxconn value, the next server is used.
It does not make sense to use this algorithm without setting maxconn. Note
that it can however make sense to use minconn so that servers are not used
at full load before starting new servers, and so that introduction of new
servers requires a progressively increasing load (the number of servers
would more or less follow the square root of the load until maxconn is
reached). This algorithm ignores the server weight, and is more beneficial
to long sessions such as RDP or IMAP than HTTP, though it can be useful
there too.
http_sess_log now use the logformat linked list to make the log
string, snprintf is not used for speed issue.
CLF mode also uses logformat.
NOTE: as of now, empty fields in CLF now are "" not "-" anymore.
parse_logformat_string: parse the string, detect the type: text,
separator or variable
parse_logformat_var: dectect variable name
