This is only possible in frontends of course, but it will finally
make it possible to capture arbitrary http parts, including URL
parameters or parts of the message body.
It's worth noting that an ugly (char **) cast had to be done to
call sample_fetch_string() which is caused by a 5- or 6- levels
of inheritance of this type in the API. Here it's harmless since
the function uses it as a const, but this API madness must be
fixed, starting with the one or two rare functions that modify
the args and inflict this on each and every keyword parser.
(cherry picked from commit 484a4f38460593919a1c1d9a047a043198d69f45)
This patch introduces quoting which allows to write configuration string
including spaces without escaping them.
Strong (with single quotes) and weak (with double quotes) quoting are
supported. Weak quoting supports escaping and special characters when
strong quoting does not interpret anything.
This patch could break configuration files where ' and " where used.
Body processing is still fairly limited, but this is a start. It becomes
possible to apply regex to find contents in order to decide where to route
a request for example. Only the first chunk is parsed for now, and the
response is not yet available (the parsing function must be duplicated for
this).
req.body : binary
This returns the HTTP request's available body as a block of data. It
requires that the request body has been buffered made available using
"option http-buffer-request". In case of chunked-encoded body, currently only
the first chunk is analyzed.
req.body_len : integer
This returns the length of the HTTP request's available body in bytes. It may
be lower than the advertised length if the body is larger than the buffer. It
requires that the request body has been buffered made available using
"option http-buffer-request".
req.body_size : integer
This returns the advertised length of the HTTP request's body in bytes. It
will represent the advertised Content-Length header, or the size of the first
chunk in case of chunked encoding. In order to parse the chunks, it requires
that the request body has been buffered made available using
"option http-buffer-request".
It is sometimes desirable to wait for the body of an HTTP request before
taking a decision. This is what is being done by "balance url_param" for
example. The first use case is to buffer requests from slow clients before
connecting to the server. Another use case consists in taking the routing
decision based on the request body's contents. This option placed in a
frontend or backend forces the HTTP processing to wait until either the whole
body is received, or the request buffer is full, or the first chunk is
complete in case of chunked encoding. It can have undesired side effects with
some applications abusing HTTP by expecting unbufferred transmissions between
the frontend and the backend, so this should definitely not be used by
default.
Note that it would not work for the response because we don't reset the
message state before starting to forward. For the response we need to
1) reset the message state to MSG_100_SENT or BODY , and 2) to reset
body_len in case of chunked encoding to avoid counting it twice.
Sometimes it's very hard to disable the use of peers because an empty
section is not valid, so it is necessary to comment out all references
to the section, and not to forget to restore them in the same state
after the operation.
Let's add a "disabled" keyword just like for proxies. A ->state member
in the peers struct is even present for this purpose but was never used
at all.
Maybe it would make sense to backport this to 1.5 as it's really cumbersome
there.
Recently some browsers started to implement a "pre-connect" feature
consisting in speculatively connecting to some recently visited web sites
just in case the user would like to visit them. This results in many
connections being established to web sites, which end up in 408 Request
Timeout if the timeout strikes first, or 400 Bad Request when the browser
decides to close them first. These ones pollute the log and feed the error
counters. There was already "option dontlognull" but it's insufficient in
this case. Instead, this option does the following things :
- prevent any 400/408 message from being sent to the client if nothing
was received over a connection before it was closed ;
- prevent any log from being emitted in this situation ;
- prevent any error counter from being incremented
That way the empty connection is silently ignored. Note that it is better
not to use this unless it is clear that it is needed, because it will hide
real problems. The most common reason for not receiving a request and seeing
a 408 is due to an MTU inconsistency between the client and an intermediary
element such as a VPN, which blocks too large packets. These issues are
generally seen with POST requests as well as GET with large cookies. The logs
are often the only way to detect them.
This patch should be backported to 1.5 since it avoids false alerts and
makes it easier to monitor haproxy's status.
There's not much reason for continuing to accept HTTP/0.9 requests
nowadays except for manual testing. Now we disable support for these
by default, unless option accept-invalid-http-request is specified,
in which case they continue to be upgraded to 1.0.
While RFC2616 used to allow an undeterminate amount of digits for the
major and minor components of the HTTP version, RFC7230 has reduced
that to a single digit for each.
If a server can't properly parse the version string and falls back to 0.9,
it could then send a head-less response whose payload would be taken for
headers, which could confuse downstream agents.
Since there's no more reason for supporting a version scheme that was
never used, let's upgrade to the updated version of the standard. It is
still possible to enforce support for the old behaviour using options
accept-invalid-http-request and accept-invalid-http-response.
It would be wise to backport this to 1.5 as well just in case.

parameters on when email-alerts are sent.

The principle of this cache is to have a global cache for all pattern
matching operations which rely on lists (reg, sub, dir, dom, ...). The
input data, the expression and a random seed are used as a hashing key.
The cached entries contains a pointer to the expression and a revision
number for that expression so that we don't accidently used obsolete
data after a pattern update or a very unlikely hash collision.
Regarding the risk of collisions, 10k entries at 10k req/s mean 1% risk
of a collision after 60 years, that's already much less than the memory's
reliability in most machines and more durable than most admin's life
expectancy. A collision will result in a valid result to be returned
for a different entry from the same list. If this is not acceptable,
the cache can be disabled using tune.pattern.cache-size.
A test on a file containing 10k small regex showed that the regex
matching was limited to 6k/s instead of 70k with regular strings.
When enabling the LRU cache, the performance was back to 70k/s.
This commit adds 4 new log format variables that parse the
HTTP Request-Line for more specific logging than "%r" provides.
For example, we can parse the following HTTP Request-Line with
these new variables:
"GET /foo?bar=baz HTTP/1.1"
- %HM: HTTP Method ("GET")
- %HV: HTTP Version ("HTTP/1.1")
- %HU: HTTP Request-URI ("/foo?bar=baz")
- %HP: HTTP Request-URI without query string ("/foo")
This patch adds support for error codes 429 and 405 to Haproxy and a
"deny_status XXX" option to "http-request deny" where you can specify which
code is returned with 403 being the default. We really want to do this the
"haproxy way" and hope to have this patch included in the mainline. We'll
be happy address any feedback on how this is implemented.
This algorithm is exactly the same as "deflate" without the zlib wrapper,
and used as an alternative when the browser wants "deflate". All major
browsers understand it and despite violating the standards, it is known
to work better than "deflate", at least on MSIE and some versions of
Safari. Do not use it in conjunction with "deflate", use either one or
the other since both react to the same Accept-Encoding token. Note that
the lack of Adler32 checksum makes it slightly faster.
This fixes an issue that occurs when backend servers run on different
addresses or ports and you wish to healthcheck them via a consistent
port. For example, if you allocate backends dynamically as containers
that expose different ports and you use an inetd based healthchecking
component that runs on a dedicated port.
By adding the server address and port to the send-state header, the
healthcheck component can deduce which address and port to check by
reading the X-Haproxy-Server-State header out of the healthcheck and
parsing out the address and port.
Lua supports a memory allocator. This is very important as it's the
only way we can control the amount of memory allocatable by Lua scripts.
That avoids prevents bogus scripts from eating all of the system's memory.
The value can be enforced using tune.lua.maxmem in the global section.

Adds ability to include Signed Certificate Timestamp List in TLS
extension. File containing SCTL must be present at the same path of
the certificate file, suffixed with '.sctl'. This requires OpenSSL
1.0.2 or later.
These new sample fetches retrieve the list of header names as they appear
in the request or response. This can be used for debugging, for statistics
as well as an aid to better detect the presence of proxies or plugins on
some browsers, which alter the request compared to a regular browser by
adding or reordering headers.
This option disables SSL session reuse when SSL is used to communicate with
the server. It will force the server to perform a full handshake for every
new connection. It's probably only useful for benchmarking, troubleshooting,
and for paranoid users.
This patch adds a new option which allows configuration of the maximum
log level of messages for which email alerts will be sent.
The default is alert which is more restrictive than
the current code which sends email alerts for all priorities.
That behaviour may be configured using the new configuration
option to set the maximum level to notice or greater.

On Linux since 2.6.37, it's possible to set the socket timeout for
pending outgoing data, with an accuracy of 1 millisecond. This is
pretty handy to deal with dead connections to clients and or servers.
For now we only implement it on the frontend side (bind line) so
that when a client disappears from the net, we're able to quickly
get rid of its connection and possibly release a server connection.
This can be useful with long-lived connections where an application
level timeout is not suited because long pauses are expected (remote
terminals, connection pools, etc).
Thanks to Thijs Houtenbos and John Eckersberg for the suggestion.
Sbastien Rohaut reported that string negation in http-check expect didn't
work as expected.
The misbehaviour is caused by responses with HTTP keep-alive. When the
condition is not met, haproxy awaits more data until the buffer is full or the
connection is closed, resulting in a check timeout when "timeout check" is
lower than the keep-alive timeout on the server side.
In order to avoid the issue, when a "http-check expect" is used, haproxy will
ask the server to disable keep-alive by automatically appending a
"Connection: close" header to the request.
This commit introduces a new category of converters. They are bitwise and
arithmetic operators which support performing basic operations on integers.
Some bitwise operations are supported (and, or, xor, cpl) and some arithmetic
operations are supported (add, sub, mul, div, mod, neg). Some comparators
are provided (odd, even, not, bool) which make it possible to report a match
without having to write an ACL.
The detailed list of new operators as they appear in the doc is :
add(<value>)
Adds <value> to the input value of type unsigned integer, and returns the
result as an unsigned integer.
and(<value>)
Performs a bitwise "AND" between <value> and the input value of type unsigned
integer, and returns the result as an unsigned integer.
bool
Returns a boolean TRUE if the input value of type unsigned integer is
non-null, otherwise returns FALSE. Used in conjunction with and(), it can be
used to report true/false for bit testing on input values (eg: verify the
presence of a flag).
cpl
Takes the input value of type unsigned integer, applies a twos-complement
(flips all bits) and returns the result as an unsigned integer.
div(<value>)
Divides the input value of type unsigned integer by <value>, and returns the
result as an unsigned integer. If <value> is null, the largest unsigned
integer is returned (typically 2^32-1).
even
Returns a boolean TRUE if the input value of type unsigned integer is even
otherwise returns FALSE. It is functionally equivalent to "not,and(1),bool".
mod(<value>)
Divides the input value of type unsigned integer by <value>, and returns the
remainder as an unsigned integer. If <value> is null, then zero is returned.
mul(<value>)
Multiplies the input value of type unsigned integer by <value>, and returns
the product as an unsigned integer. In case of overflow, the higher bits are
lost, leading to seemingly strange values.
neg
Takes the input value of type unsigned integer, computes the opposite value,
and returns the remainder as an unsigned integer. 0 is identity. This
operator is provided for reversed subtracts : in order to subtract the input
from a constant, simply perform a "neg,add(value)".
not
Returns a boolean FALSE if the input value of type unsigned integer is
non-null, otherwise returns TRUE. Used in conjunction with and(), it can be
used to report true/false for bit testing on input values (eg: verify the
absence of a flag).
odd
Returns a boolean TRUE if the input value of type unsigned integer is odd
otherwise returns FALSE. It is functionally equivalent to "and(1),bool".
or(<value>)
Performs a bitwise "OR" between <value> and the input value of type unsigned
integer, and returns the result as an unsigned integer.
sub(<value>)
Subtracts <value> from the input value of type unsigned integer, and returns
the result as an unsigned integer. Note: in order to subtract the input from
a constant, simply perform a "neg,add(value)".
xor(<value>)
Performs a bitwise "XOR" (exclusive OR) between <value> and the input value
of type unsigned integer, and returns the result as an unsigned integer.
As reported by Raphal Enrici, certificates loaded from a directory are loaded
in a non predictive order. If no certificate was first loaded from a file, it
can result in different behaviours when haproxy is used in cluster.
We can also imagine other cases which weren't met yet.
Instead of using readdir(), we can use scandir() and sort files alphabetically.
This will ensure a predictive behaviour.
This patch should also be backported to 1.5.
This commit implements the following new actions :
- "set-method" rewrites the request method with the result of the
evaluation of format string <fmt>. There should be very few valid reasons
for having to do so as this is more likely to break something than to fix
it.
- "set-path" rewrites the request path with the result of the evaluation of
format string <fmt>. The query string, if any, is left intact. If a
scheme and authority is found before the path, they are left intact as
well. If the request doesn't have a path ("*"), this one is replaced with
the format. This can be used to prepend a directory component in front of
a path for example. See also "set-query" and "set-uri".
Example :
# prepend the host name before the path
http-request set-path /%[hdr(host)]%[path]
- "set-query" rewrites the request's query string which appears after the
first question mark ("?") with the result of the evaluation of format
string <fmt>. The part prior to the question mark is left intact. If the
request doesn't contain a question mark and the new value is not empty,
then one is added at the end of the URI, followed by the new value. If
a question mark was present, it will never be removed even if the value
is empty. This can be used to add or remove parameters from the query
string. See also "set-query" and "set-uri".
Example :
# replace "%3D" with "=" in the query string
http-request set-query %[query,regsub(%3D,=,g)]
- "set-uri" rewrites the request URI with the result of the evaluation of
format string <fmt>. The scheme, authority, path and query string are all
replaced at once. This can be used to rewrite hosts in front of proxies,
or to perform complex modifications to the URI such as moving parts
between the path and the query string. See also "set-path" and
"set-query".
All of them are handled by the same parser and the same exec function,
which is why they're merged all together. For once, instead of adding
even more entries to the huge switch/case, we used the new facility to
register action keywords. A number of the existing ones should probably
move there as well.
We can now replace matching regex parts with a string, a la sed. Note
that there are at least 3 different behaviours for existing sed
implementations when matching 0-length strings. Here is the result
of the following operation on each implementationt tested :
echo 'xzxyz' | sed -e 's/x*y*/A/g'
GNU sed 4.2.1 => AzAzA
Perl's sed 5.16.1 => AAzAAzA
Busybox v1.11.2 sed => AzAz
The psed behaviour was adopted because it causes the least exceptions
in the code and seems logical from a certain perspective :
- "x" matches x*y* => add "A" and skip "x"
- "z" matches x*y* => add "A" and keep "z", not part of the match
- "xy" matches x*y* => add "A" and skip "xy"
- "z" matches x*y* => add "A" and keep "z", not part of the match
- "" matches x*y* => add "A" and stop here
Anyway, given the incompatibilities between implementations, it's unlikely
that some processing will rely on this behaviour.
There currently is one big limitation : the configuration parser makes it
impossible to pass commas or closing parenthesis (or even closing brackets
in log formats). But that's still quite usable to replace certain characters
or character sequences. It will become more complete once the config parser
is reworked.
The way http-request/response set-header works is stupid. For a naive
reuse of the del-header code, it removes all occurrences of the header
to be set before computing the new format string. This makes it almost
unusable because it is not possible to append values to an existing
header without first copying them to a dummy header, performing the
copy back and removing the dummy header.
Instead, let's share the same code as add-header and perform the optional
removal after the string is computed. That way it becomes possible to
write things like :
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[hdr(X-Forwarded-For)],%[src]
Note that this change is not expected to have any undesirable impact on
existing configs since if they rely on the bogus behaviour, they don't
work as they always retrieve an empty string.
This fix must be backported to 1.5 to stop the spreadth of ugly configs.
This converter hashes a binary input sample into an unsigned 32-bit quantity
using the CRC32 hash function. Optionally, it is possible to apply a full
avalanche hash function to the output if the optional <avalanche> argument
equals 1. This converter uses the same functions as used by the various hash-
based load balancing algorithms, so it will provide exactly the same results.
It is provided for compatibility with other software which want a CRC32 to be
computed on some input keys, so it follows the most common implementation as
found in Ethernet, Gzip, PNG, etc... It is slower than the other algorithms
but may provide a better or at least less predictable distribution.
This fetch extracts the request's query string, which starts after the first
question mark. If no question mark is present, this fetch returns nothing. If
a question mark is present but nothing follows, it returns an empty string.
This means it's possible to easily know whether a query string is present
using the "found" matching method. This fetch is the completemnt of "path"
which stops before the question mark.
If a memory size limit is enforced using "-n" on the command line and
one or both of maxconn / maxsslconn are not set, instead of using the
build-time values, haproxy now computes the number of sessions that can
be allocated depending on a number of parameters among which :
- global.maxconn (if set)
- global.maxsslconn (if set)
- maxzlibmem
- tune.ssl.cachesize
- presence of SSL in at least one frontend (bind lines)
- presence of SSL in at least one backend (server lines)
- tune.bufsize
- tune.cookie_len
The purpose is to ensure that not haproxy will not run out of memory
when maxing out all parameters. If neither maxconn nor maxsslconn are
used, it will consider that 100% of the sessions involve SSL on sides
where it's supported. That means that it will typically optimize maxconn
for SSL offloading or SSL bridging on all connections. This generally
means that the simple act of enabling SSL in a frontend or in a backend
will significantly reduce the global maxconn but in exchange of that, it
will guarantee that it will not fail.
All metrics may be enforced using #defines to accomodate variations in
SSL libraries or various allocation sizes.
This is equivalent to what was done in commit 48936af ("[MINOR] log:
ability to override the syslog tag") but this time instead of doing
this globally, it does it per proxy. The purpose is to be able to use
a separate log tag for various proxies (eg: make it easier to route
log messages depending on the customer).
Add some documentation about the environment variables available with
"external-check command". Currently, only one of them is dynamically updated
on each check : HAPROXY_SERVER_CURCONN.
This setting is used to limit memory usage without causing the alloc
failures caused by "-m". Unexpectedly, tests have shown a performance
boost of up to about 18% on HTTP traffic when limiting the number of
buffers to about 10% of the amount of concurrent connections.
tune.buffers.limit <number>
Sets a hard limit on the number of buffers which may be allocated per process.
The default value is zero which means unlimited. The minimum non-zero value
will always be greater than "tune.buffers.reserve" and should ideally always
be about twice as large. Forcing this value can be particularly useful to
limit the amount of memory a process may take, while retaining a sane
behaviour. When this limit is reached, sessions which need a buffer wait for
another one to be released by another session. Since buffers are dynamically
allocated and released, the waiting time is very short and not perceptible
provided that limits remain reasonable. In fact sometimes reducing the limit
may even increase performance by increasing the CPU cache's efficiency. Tests
have shown good results on average HTTP traffic with a limit to 1/10 of the
expected global maxconn setting, which also significantly reduces memory
usage. The memory savings come from the fact that a number of connections
will not allocate 2*tune.bufsize. It is best not to touch this value unless
advised to do so by an haproxy core developer.
Used in conjunction with the dynamic buffer allocator.
tune.buffers.reserve <number>
Sets the number of buffers which are pre-allocated and reserved for use only
during memory shortage conditions resulting in failed memory allocations. The
minimum value is 2 and is also the default. There is no reason a user would
want to change this value, it's mostly aimed at haproxy core developers.
Previously, external checks required to find at least one listener in order to
pass the <proxy_address> and <proxy_port> arguments to the external script.
It prevented from declaring external checks in backend sections and haproxy
rejected the configuration.
The listener is now optional and values "NOT_USED" are passed if no listener is
found. For instance, this is the case with a backend section.
This is specific to the 1.6 branch.
word(<index>,<delimiters>)
Extracts the nth word considering given delimiters from an input string.
Indexes start at 1 and delimiters are a string formatted list of chars.
field(<index>,<delimiters>)
Extracts the substring at the given index considering given delimiters from
an input string. Indexes start at 1 and delimiters are a string formatted
list of chars.
bytes(<offset>[,<length>])
Extracts a some bytes from an input binary sample. The result is a
binary sample starting at an offset (in bytes) of the original sample
and optionnaly truncated at the given length.
Sometimes, either for debugging or for logging we'd like to have a bit
of information about the running process. Here are 3 new fetches for this :
nbproc : integer
Returns an integer value corresponding to the number of processes that were
started (it equals the global "nbproc" setting). This is useful for logging
and debugging purposes.
proc : integer
Returns an integer value corresponding to the position of the process calling
the function, between 1 and global.nbproc. This is useful for logging and
debugging purposes.
stopping : boolean
Returns TRUE if the process calling the function is currently stopping. This
can be useful for logging, or for relaxing certain checks or helping close
certain connections upon graceful shutdown.
Adds global statements 'ssl-default-server-options' and
'ssl-default-bind-options' to force on 'server' and 'bind' lines
some ssl options.
Currently available options are 'no-sslv3', 'no-tlsv10', 'no-tlsv11',
'no-tlsv12', 'force-sslv3', 'force-tlsv10', 'force-tlsv11',
'force-tlsv12', and 'no-tls-tickets'.
Example:
global
ssl-default-server-options no-sslv3
ssl-default-bind-options no-sslv3
ssl_c_der : binary
Returns the DER formatted certificate presented by the client when the
incoming connection was made over an SSL/TLS transport layer. When used for
an ACL, the value(s) to match against can be passed in hexadecimal form.
ssl_f_der : binary
Returns the DER formatted certificate presented by the frontend when the
incoming connection was made over an SSL/TLS transport layer. When used for
an ACL, the value(s) to match against can be passed in hexadecimal form.
This converter escapes string to use it as json/ascii escaped string.
It can read UTF-8 with differents behavior on errors and encode it in
json/ascii.
json([<input-code>])
Escapes the input string and produces an ASCII ouput string ready to use as a
JSON string. The converter tries to decode the input string according to the
<input-code> parameter. It can be "ascii", "utf8", "utf8s", "utf8"" or
"utf8ps". The "ascii" decoder never fails. The "utf8" decoder detects 3 types
of errors:
- bad UTF-8 sequence (lone continuation byte, bad number of continuation
bytes, ...)
- invalid range (the decoded value is within a UTF-8 prohibited range),
- code overlong (the value is encoded with more bytes than necessary).
The UTF-8 JSON encoding can produce a "too long value" error when the UTF-8
character is greater than 0xffff because the JSON string escape specification
only authorizes 4 hex digits for the value encoding. The UTF-8 decoder exists
in 4 variants designated by a combination of two suffix letters : "p" for
"permissive" and "s" for "silently ignore". The behaviors of the decoders
are :
- "ascii" : never fails ;
- "utf8" : fails on any detected errors ;
- "utf8s" : never fails, but removes characters corresponding to errors ;
- "utf8p" : accepts and fixes the overlong errors, but fails on any other
error ;
- "utf8ps" : never fails, accepts and fixes the overlong errors, but removes
characters corresponding to the other errors.
This converter is particularly useful for building properly escaped JSON for
logging to servers which consume JSON-formated traffic logs.
Example:
capture request header user-agent len 150
capture request header Host len 15
log-format {"ip":"%[src]","user-agent":"%[capture.req.hdr(1),json]"}
Input request from client 127.0.0.1:
GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Very "Ugly" UA 1/2
Output log:
{"ip":"127.0.0.1","user-agent":"Very \"Ugly\" UA 1\/2"}
Since commit 1b71eb5 ("BUG/MEDIUM: counters: fix track-sc* to wait on
unstable contents"), we don't need the "if HTTP" anymore. But the doc
was not updated to reflect this.
Since this change was backported to 1.5, this doc update should be
backported as well.
When a frontend does not have any bind-process directive, make it
automatically bind to the union of all of its listeners' processes
instead of binding to all processes. That will make it possible to
have the expected behaviour without having to explicitly specify a
bind-process directive.
Note that if the listeners are not bound to a specific process, the
default is still to bind to all processes.
This change could be backported to 1.5 as it simplifies process
management, and was planned to be done during the 1.5 development phase.
Sometimes it would be convenient to have a log counter so that from a log
server we know whether some logs were lost or not. The frontend's log counter
serves exactly this purpose. It's incremented each time a traffic log is
produced. If a log is disabled using "http-request set-log-level silent",
the counter will not be incremented. However, admin logs are not accounted
for. Also, if logs are filtered out before being sent to the server because
of a minimum level set on the log line, the counter will be increased anyway.
The counter is 32-bit, so it will wrap, but that's not an issue considering
that 4 billion logs are rarely in the same file, let alone close to each
other.
Add support for http-request track-sc, similar to what is done in
tcp-request for backends. A new act_prm field was added to HTTP
request rules to store the track params (table, counter). Just
like for TCP rules, the table is resolved while checking for
config validity. The code was mostly copied from the TCP code
with the exception that here we also count the HTTP request count
and rate by hand. Probably that something could be factored out in
the future.
It seems like tracking flags should be improved to mark each hook
which tracks a key so that we can have some check points where to
increase counters of the past if not done yet, a bit like is done
for TRACK_BACKEND.
From time to time it's useful to hash input data (scramble input, or
reduce the space needed in a stick table). This patch provides 3 simple
converters allowing use of the available hash functions to hash input
data. The output is an unsigned integer which can be passed into a header,
a log or used as an index for a stick table. One nice usage is to scramble
source IP addresses before logging when there are requirements to hide them.
Konstantin Romanenko reported a typo in the HTML documentation. The typo is
already present in the raw text version : the "shutdown sessions" command
should be "shutdown sessions server".
This one is not inherited from defaults into frontends nor backends
because it would create a confusion situation where it would be hard
to disable it (since both frontend and backend would enable it).
This patch adds two converters :
ltime(<format>[,<offset>])
utime(<format>[,<offset>])
Both use strftime() to emit the output string from an input date. ltime()
provides local time, while utime() provides the UTC time.
These new converters make it possible to look up any sample expression
in a table, and check whether an equivalent key exists or not, and if it
exists, to retrieve the associated data (eg: gpc0, request rate, etc...).
Till now it was only possible using tracking, but sometimes tracking is
not suited to only retrieving such counters, either because it's done too
early or because too many items need to be checked without necessarily
being tracked.
These converters all take a string on input, and then convert it again to
the table's type. This means that if an input sample is of type IPv4 and
the table is of type IP, it will first be converted to a string, then back
to an IP address. This is a limitation of the current design which does not
allow converters to declare that "any" type is supported on input. Since
strings are the only types which can be cast to any other one, this method
always works.
The following converters were added :
in_table, table_bytes_in_rate, table_bytes_out_rate, table_conn_cnt,
table_conn_cur, table_conn_rate, table_gpc0, table_gpc0_rate,
table_http_err_cnt, table_http_err_rate, table_http_req_cnt,
table_http_req_rate, table_kbytes_in, table_kbytes_out,
table_server_id, table_sess_cnt, table_sess_rate, table_trackers.
Listening to an abstract namespace socket is quite convenient but
comes with some drawbacks that must be clearly understood when the
socket is being listened to by multiple processes. The trouble is
that the socket cannot be rebound if a new process attempts a soft
restart and fails, so only one of the initially bound processes
will still be bound to it, the other ones will fail to rebind. For
most situations it's not an issue but it needs to be indicated.
With all the goodies supported by logformat, people find that the limit
of 1024 chars for log lines is too short. Some servers do not support
larger lines and can simply drop them, so changing the default value is
not always the best choice.
This patch takes a different approach. Log line length is specified per
log server on the "log" line, with a value between 80 and 65535. That
way it's possibly to satisfy all needs, even with some fat local servers
and small remote ones.

Select()'s safe area is limited to 1024 FDs, and anything higher

so better document it.
The support is all based on static responses. This doesn't add any
request / response logic to HAProxy, but allows a way to update
information through the socket interface.
Currently certificates specified using "crt" or "crt-list" on "bind" lines
are loaded as PEM files.
For each PEM file, haproxy checks for the presence of file at the same path
suffixed by ".ocsp". If such file is found, support for the TLS Certificate
Status Request extension (also known as "OCSP stapling") is automatically
enabled. The content of this file is optional. If not empty, it must contain
a valid OCSP Response in DER format. In order to be valid an OCSP Response
must comply with the following rules: it has to indicate a good status,
it has to be a single response for the certificate of the PEM file, and it
has to be valid at the moment of addition. If these rules are not respected
the OCSP Response is ignored and a warning is emitted. In order to identify
which certificate an OCSP Response applies to, the issuer's certificate is
necessary. If the issuer's certificate is not found in the PEM file, it will
be loaded from a file at the same path as the PEM file suffixed by ".issuer"
if it exists otherwise it will fail with an error.
It is possible to update an OCSP Response from the unix socket using:
set ssl ocsp-response <response>
This command is used to update an OCSP Response for a certificate (see "crt"
on "bind" lines). Same controls are performed as during the initial loading of
the response. The <response> must be passed as a base64 encoded string of the
DER encoded response from the OCSP server.
Example:
openssl ocsp -issuer issuer.pem -cert server.pem \
-host ocsp.issuer.com:80 -respout resp.der
echo "set ssl ocsp-response $(base64 -w 10000 resp.der)" | \
socat stdio /var/run/haproxy.stat
This feature is automatically enabled on openssl 0.9.8h and above.
This work was performed jointly by Dirkjan Bussink of GitHub and
Emeric Brun of HAProxy Technologies.
This patch adds two new actions to http-request and http-response rulesets :
- replace-header : replace a whole header line, suited for headers
which might contain commas
- replace-value : replace a single header value, suited for headers
defined as lists.
The match consists in a regex, and the replacement string takes a log-format
and supports back-references.
The time statistics computed by previous patches are now reported in the
HTML stats in the tips related to the total sessions for backend and servers,
and as separate columns for the CSV stats.
Now that we can quote unsafe string, it becomes possible to dump the health
check responses on the CSV page as well. The two new fields are "last_chk"
and "last_agt".
Indicate that the text cells in the CSV format may contain quotes to
escape ambiguous texts. We don't have this case right now since we limit
the output, but it may happen in the future.
The "accept-proxy" statement of bind lines was still limited to version
1 of the protocol, while send-proxy-v2 is now available on the server
lines. This patch adds support for parsing v2 of the protocol on incoming
connections. The v2 header is automatically recognized so there is no
need for a new option.
This new directive captures the specified fetch expression, converts
it to text and puts it into the next capture slot. The capture slots
are shared with header captures so that it is possible to dump all
captures at once or selectively in logs and header processing.
The purpose is to permit logs to contain whatever payload is found in
a request, for example bytes at a fixed location or the SNI of forwarded
SSL traffic.
Similar to previous patches, HTTP header captures are performed when
a TCP frontend switches to an HTTP backend, but are not possible to
report. So let's relax the check to explicitly allow them to be present
in TCP frontends.
Log format is defined in the frontend, and some frontends may be chained to
an HTTP backend. Sometimes it's very convenient to be able to log the HTTP
status code of these HTTP backends. This status is definitely present in
the internal structures, it's just that we used to limit it to be used in
HTTP frontends. So let's simply relax the check to allow it to be used in
TCP frontends as well.
When no static DH parameters are specified, this patch makes haproxy
use standardized (rfc 2409 / rfc 3526) DH parameters with prime lenghts
of 1024, 2048, 4096 or 8192 bits for DHE key exchange. The size of the
temporary/ephemeral DH key is computed as the minimum of the RSA/DSA server
key size and the value of a new option named tune.ssl.default-dh-param.
MySQL will in stop supporting pre-4.1 authentication packets in the future
and is already giving us a hard time regarding non-silencable warnings
which are logged on each health check. Warnings look like the following:
"[Warning] Client failed to provide its character set. 'latin1' will be used
as client character set."
This patch adds basic support for post-4.1 authentication by sending the proper
authentication packet with the character set, along with the QUIT command.

More and more people are complaining about the bugs experienced by
Chrome users due to the pre-connect feature and the fact that Chrome
does not monitor its connections and happily displays the error page
instead of re-opening a new connection. Since we can work around this
bug, let's document how to do it.
We now retrieve a lot of information from a single line of response, which
can be made up of various words delimited by spaces/tabs/commas. We try to
arrange all this and report whatever unusual we detect. The agent now supports :
- "up", "down", "stopped", "fail" for the operational states
- "ready", "drain", "maint" for the administrative states
- any "%" number for the weight
- an optional reason after a "#" that can be reported on the stats page
The line parser and processor should move to its own function so that
we can reuse the exact same one for http-based agent checks later.
This command supports "agent", "health", "state" and "weight" to adjust
various server attributes as well as changing server health check statuses
on the fly or setting the drain mode.
Now that it is possible to know whether a server is in forced maintenance
or inherits its maintenance status from another one, it is possible to
allow server tracking at more than one level. We still provide a loop
detection however.
Note that for the stats it's a bit trickier since we have to report the
check state which corresponds to the state of the server at the end of
the chain.
Function set_server_check_status() is very weird. It is called at the
end of a check to update the server's state before the new state is even
calculated, and possibly to log status changes, only if the proxy has
"option log-health-checks" set.
In order to do so, it employs an exhaustive list of the combinations
which can lead to a state change, while in practice almost all of
them may simply be deduced from the change of check status. Better,
some changes of check status are currently not detected while they
can be very valuable (eg: changes between L4/L6/TOUT/HTTP 500 for
example).
The doc was updated to reflect this.
Also, a minor change was made to consider s->uweight and not s->eweight
as meaning "DRAIN" since eweight can be null without the DRAIN mode (eg:
throttle, NOLB, ...).

- DOC: stop referencing the slow git repository in the README
- BUILD: only build the systemd wrapper on Linux 2.6 and above

- MEDIUM: session: implement half-closed timeouts (client-fin and server-fin)
Long-lived sessions are often subject to half-closed sessions resulting in
a lot of sessions appearing in FIN_WAIT state in the system tables, and no
way for haproxy to get rid of them. This typically happens because clients
suddenly disconnect without sending any packet (eg: FIN or RST was lost in
the path), and while the server detects this using an applicative heart
beat, haproxy does not close the connection.
This patch adds two new timeouts : "timeout client-fin" and
"timeout server-fin". The former allows one to override the client-facing
timeout when a FIN has been received or sent. The latter does the same for
server-facing connections, which is less useful.
These sockets are the same as Unix sockets except that there's no need
for any filesystem access. The address may be whatever string both sides
agree upon. This can be really convenient for inter-process communications
as well as for chaining backends to frontends.
These addresses are forced by prepending their address with "abns@" for
"abstract namespace".
Now that we know what processes a "bind" statement is attached to, we
have the ability to avoid starting some of them when they're not on the
proper process. This feature is disabled when running in foreground
however, so that debug mode continues to work with everything bound to
the first and only process.
The main purpose of this change is to finally allow the global stats
sockets to be each bound to a different process.
It can also be used to force haproxy to use different sockets in different
processes for the same IP:port. The purpose is that under Linux 3.9 and
above (and possibly other OSes), when multiple processes are bound to the
same IP:port via different sockets, the system is capable of performing
a perfect round-robin between the socket queues instead of letting any
process pick all the connections from a queue. This results in a smoother
load balancing and may achieve a higher performance with a large enough
maxaccept setting.
