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".
When compiled with USE_GETADDRINFO, make sure we use getaddrinfo(3) to
perform name lookups. On default dual-stack setups this will change the
behavior of using IPv6 first. Global configuration option
'nogetaddrinfo' can be used to revert to deprecated gethostbyname(3).
OpenBSD complains about the use of sprintf in human_time() :
src/standard.o(.text+0x1c40): In function `human_time':
src/standard.c:2067: warning: sprintf() is often misused, please use snprintf()
We can easily get around this by having a pointer to the end of the string and
using snprintf() instead.
OpenBSD complains about our use of strcpy() in standard.c. The checks
were OK and we didn't fall into the category of "almost always misused",
but it's very simple to fix it so better do it before a problem happens.
src/standard.o(.text+0x26ab): In function `str2sa_range':
src/standard.c:718: warning: strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy()
The function url2sa() converts faster url like http://<ip>:<port> in a
struct sockaddr_storage. This patch add:
- the https support
- permit to return the length parsed
- support IPv6
- support DNS synchronous resolution only during start of haproxy.
The faster IPv4 convertion way is keeped. IPv6 is slower, because I use
the standard IPv6 parser function.
The function str2net runs DNS resolution if valid ip cannot be parsed.
The DNS function used is the standard function of the libc and it
performs asynchronous request.
The asynchronous request is not compatible with the haproxy
archictecture.
str2net() is used during the runtime throught the "socket".
This patch remove the DNS resolution during the runtime.
The goal of these patch is to simplify the prototype of
"pat_pattern_*()" functions. I want to replace the argument "char
**args" by a simple "char *arg" and remove the "opaque" argument.
"pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" are the unique pattern
parser using the "opaque" argument and using more than one string
argument of the char **args. These specificities are only used with ACL.
Other systems using this pattern parser (MAP and CLI) just use one
string for describing a range.
This two functions can read a range, but the min and the max must y
specified. This patch extends the syntax to describe a range with
implicit min and max. This is used for operators like "lt", "le", "gt",
and "ge". the syntax is the following:
":x" -> no min to "x"
"x:" -> "x" to no max
This patch moves the parsing of the comparison operator from the
functions "pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" to the acl
parser. The acl parser read the operator and the values and build a
volatile string readable by the functions "pat_parse_int()" and
"pat_parse_dotted_ver()". The transformation is done with these rules:
If the parser is "pat_parse_int()":
"eq x" -> "x"
"le x" -> ":x"
"lt x" -> ":y" (with y = x - 1)
"ge x" -> "x:"
"gt x" -> "y:" (with y = x + 1)
If the parser is "pat_parse_dotted_ver()":
"eq x.y" -> "x.y"
"le x.y" -> ":x.y"
"lt x.y" -> ":w.z" (with w.z = x.y - 1)
"ge x.y" -> "x.y:"
"gt x.y" -> "w.z:" (with w.z = x.y + 1)
Note that, if "y" is not present, assume that is "0".
Now "pat_parse_int()" and "pat_parse_dotted_ver()" accept only one
pattern and the variable "opaque" is no longer used. The prototype of
the pattern parsers can be changed.
Actually the values returned by this function is never used. All the
callers just check if the resultat is non-zero. Before this patch, the
function returns the length of the produced content. This value is not
useful because is returned twice: the first time in the return value and
the second time in the <binstrlen> argument. Now the function returns
the number of bytes consumed from <source>.
We currently use such an hex parser in pat_parse_bin() to parse hex
string patterns. We'll need another generic one so let's move it to
standard.c and have pat_parse_bin() make use of it.
The inet_pton function needs an input string with a final \0. This
function copies the input string to a temporary buffer, adds the final
\0 and converts to address.
Currently url_decode returns 1 or 0 depending on whether it could decode
the string or not. For some future use cases, it will be needed to get the
decoded string length after a successful decoding, so let's make it return
that value, and fall back to a negative one in case of error.
This patch adds a "scope" box in the statistics page in order to
display only proxies with a name that contains the requested value.
The scope filter is preserved across all clicks on the page.
Seen on Solaris 8, calling vsnprintf() with a null-size results
in the output size not being computed. This causes some random
behaviour including crashes when trying to display error messages
when loading an invalid configuration.
src/standard.c: In function `str2sa_range':
src/standard.c:734: warning: subscript has type `char'
This one was recently introduced by commit c120c8d3.
Now that all addresses are parsed using str2sa_range(), it becomes easy
to add support for environment variables and use them everywhere an address
is needed. Environment variables are used as $VAR or ${VAR} as in shell.
Any number of variables may compose an address, allowing various fantasies
such as "fd@${FD_HTTP}" or "${LAN_DC1}.1:80".
These ones are usable in logs, bind, servers, peers, stats socket, source,
dispatch, and check address.
Using the address syntax "fd@<num>", a listener may inherit a file
descriptor that the caller process has already bound and passed as
this number. The fd's socket family is detected using getsockname(),
and the usual initialization is performed through the existing code
for that family, but the socket creation is skipped.
Whether the parent has performed the listen() call or not is not
important as this is detected.
For UNIX sockets, we immediately clear the path after preparing a
socket so that we never remove it in case an abort would happen due
to a late error during startup.
This change allows one to force the address family in any address parsed
by str2sa_range() by specifying it as a prefix followed by '@' then the
address. Currently supported address prefixes are 'ipv4@', 'ipv6@', 'unix@'.
This also helps forcing resolving for host names (when getaddrinfo is used),
and force the family of the empty address (eg: 'ipv4@' = 0.0.0.0 while
'ipv6@' = ::).
The main benefits is that unix sockets can now get a local name without
being forced to begin with a slash. This is useful during development as
it is no longer necessary to have stats socket sent to /tmp.
Don't use a statically allocated address both for str2ip and str2sa_range,
use the same. The inet and unix code paths have been splitted a little
better to improve readability.
str2sa_range() now considers that any address beginning with '/' is a UNIX
address. It is compatible with all callers at the moment since all of them
perform this test and use a different parser for such addresses. However,
some parsers (eg: servers) still don't check for unix addresses.
We'll need str2sa_range() to support a prefix for unix sockets. Since
we don't always want to use it (eg: stats socket), let's not take it
unconditionally from global but let the caller pass it.
Commit d4448bc8 brought support for parsing port ranges, but invalid
characters are not properly handled and can result in a crash while
parsing the configuration if an invalid character is present in the
port, because the return value is set to NULL then dereferenced.
Right now we have multiple methods for parsing IP addresses in the
configuration. This is quite painful. This patch aims at adapting
str2sa_range() to make it support all formats, so that the callers
perform the appropriate tests on the return values. str2sa() was
changed to simply return str2sa_range().
The output values are now the following ones (taken from the comment
on top of the function).
Converts <str> to a locally allocated struct sockaddr_storage *, and a port
range or offset consisting in two integers that the caller will have to
check to find the relevant input format. The following format are supported :
String format | address | port | low | high
addr | <addr> | 0 | 0 | 0
addr: | <addr> | 0 | 0 | 0
addr:port | <addr> | <port> | <port> | <port>
addr:pl-ph | <addr> | <pl> | <pl> | <ph>
addr:+port | <addr> | <port> | 0 | <port>
addr:-port | <addr> |-<port> | <port> | 0
The detection of a port range or increment by the caller is made by
comparing <low> and <high>. If both are equal, then port 0 means no port
was specified. The caller may pass NULL for <low> and <high> if it is not
interested in retrieving port ranges.
Note that <addr> above may also be :
- empty ("") => family will be AF_INET and address will be INADDR_ANY
- "*" => family will be AF_INET and address will be INADDR_ANY
- "::" => family will be AF_INET6 and address will be IN6ADDR_ANY
- a host name => family and address will depend on host name resolving.
If an address is improperly formated on a bind or server address
and haproxy is built for using getaddrinfo, then a crash may occur
upon the call to freeaddrinfo().
Thanks to Jon Meredith for helping me patch this for SmartOS,
I am not a C/GDB wizard.
This function may write the \0 one char too far in the static array.
There is no effect right now as the function has never been used except
maybe in code that was never released. Out-of-tree code might possibly
be affected though (hence the MEDIUM flag).
No backport is needed.

These macros (U2H, U2A, LIM2A, ...) have been used with an explicit
index for the local storage variable, making it difficult to change
log formats and causing a few issues from time to time. Let's have
a single macro with a rotating index so that up to 10 conversions
may be used in a single call.
This tiny function was not inlined because initially not much used.
However it's been used un the chunk parser for a while and it became
one of the most CPU-cycle eater there. By inlining it, the chunk parser
speed was increased by 74 %. We're almost 3 times faster than original
with just the last 4 commits.
url2sa() mistakenly uses "addr" as a reference. This causes a segfault when
option http_proxy or url_ip are used.
This bug was introduced in haproxy 1.5 and doesn't need to be backported.
indent_msg() is called with dynamically generated messages, so these
may be empty (NULL) when an empty list is being dumped. Support this
and return a NULL too.
Bind parsers may return multiple errors, so let's make use of a new function
to re-indent multi-line error messages so that they're all reported in their
context.
It appears that fd.h includes a number of unneeded files and was
included from standard.h, and as such served as an intermediary
to provide almost everything to everyone.
By removing its useless includes, a long dependency chain broke
but could easily be fixed.
memprintf() is just like snprintf() except that it always returns a properly
sized allocated string that the caller is responsible for freeing. NULL is
returned on serious errors. It also supports stackable calls over the same
pointer since it offers support for automatically freeing a previous one :
memprintf(&err, "invalid argument: '%s'", arg);
...
memprintf(&err, "keyword parser said: <%s>", *err);
...
memprintf(&err, "line parser said: %s\n", *err);
...
free(*err);
Many inet_ntop calls were partially right, which was hard to detect given
the complex combinations. Some of them were relying on the listener's proto
instead of the address itself, which could have been different when dealing
with an accept-proxy connection.
The new addr_to_str() function does the dirty job and returns the family, which
makes it particularly suited to calls from switch/case statements. A large number
of if/else statements were removed and the stats output could even be cleaned up
in the case of session dump.
As a side effect of doing this, the resulting code is smaller by almost 1kB.
All changed parts have been tested and provided expected output.
Bashkim Kasa reported that the stats admin page did not work when colons
were used in server or backend names. This was caused by url-encoding
resulting in ':' being sent as '%3A'. Now we systematically decode the
field names and values to fix this issue.
Since IPv6 is a different type than IPv4, the pattern fetch functions
src6 and dst6 were added. IPv6 stick-tables can also fetch IPv4 addresses
with src and dst. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are mapped to their
IPv6 counterpart, according to RFC 4291.
Function gethostbyname is deprecated since IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 and
was replaced by getaddrinfo (available since IEEE Std 1003.1-2004).
Contrary to gethostbyname, getaddrinfo is specified to support both
IPv4 and IPv4 addresses.
Since some libc doesn't handle getaddrinfo properly, constant
USE_GETADDRINFO must be defined at compile time to enable use of
getaddrinfo.
The parser now distinguishes between pure addresses and address:port. This
is useful for some config items where only an address is required.
Raw IPv6 addresses are now parsed, but IPv6 host name resolution is still not
handled (gethostbyname does not resolve IPv6 names to addresses).
This patch turns internal server addresses to sockaddr_storage to
store IPv6 addresses, and makes the connect() function use it. This
code already works but some caveats with getaddrinfo/gethostbyname
still need to be sorted out while the changes had to be merged at
this stage of internal architecture changes. So for now the config
parser will not emit an IPv6 address yet so that user experience
remains unchanged.
This change should have absolutely zero user-visible effect, otherwise
it's a bug introduced during the merge, that should be reported ASAP.
We'll use this hash at other places, let's make it globally available.
The function has also been renamed because its "chash_hash" name was
not appropriate.
inetaddr_host_lim_ret() used to make use of const char** for some
args, but that make it impossible ot use char** due to the way
controls are made by gcc. So let's change that.
The quote_arg() function can be used to quote an argument or indicate
"end of line" if it's null or empty. It should be useful to more precisely
report location of problems in the configuration.
pattern.c depended on stick_table while in fact it should be the opposite.
So we move from pattern.c everything related to stick_tables and invert the
dependency. That way the code becomes more logical and intuitive.
isalnum, isdigit and friends are really annoying because they take
an int in which we should pass an unsigned char, while strings
everywhere use chars. Solaris uses macros relying on an array for
those functions, which easily triggers some warnings showing where
we have mistakenly passed a char instead of an unsigned char or an
int. Those warnings may indicate real bugs on some platforms
depending on the implementation.
When a host name could not be resolved, an alert was emitted but the
service used to start with 0.0.0.0 for the IP address, because the
address parsing functions could not report an error. This is now
changed. This fix must be backported to 1.3 as it was first discovered
there.
Some header values might be delimited with spaces, so it's not enough to
compare "close" or "keep-alive" with strncasecmp(). Use word_match() for
that.
All files referencing the previous ebtree code were changed to point
to the new one in the ebtree directory. A makefile variable (EBTREE_DIR)
is also available to use files from another directory.
The ability to build the libebtree library temporarily remains disabled
because it can have an impact on some existing toolchains and does not
appear worth it in the medium term if we add support for multi-criteria
stickiness for instance.
Some users are already hitting the 64k source port limit when
connecting to servers. The system usually maintains a list of
unused source ports, regardless of the source IP they're bound
to. So in order to go beyond the 64k concurrent connections, we
have to manage the source ip:port lists ourselves.
The solution consists in assigning a source port range to each
server and use a free port in that range when connecting to that
server, either for a proxied connection or for a health check.
The port must then be put back into the server's range when the
connection is closed.
This mechanism is used only when a port range is specified on
a server. It makes it possible to reach 64k connections per
server, possibly all from the same IP address. Right now it
should be more than enough even for huge deployments.
This function sets CSS letter spacing after each 3rd digit. The page must
create a class "rls" (right letter spacing) with style "letter-spacing: 0.3em"
in order to use it.
This patch allows to specify a domain used when inserting a cookie
providing a session stickiness. Usefull for example with wildcard domains.
The patch adds one new variable to the struct proxy: cookiedomain.
When set the domain is appended to a Set-Cookie header.
Domain name is validated using the new invalid_domainchar() function.
It is basically invalid_char() limited to [A-Za-z0-9_.-]. Yes, the test
is too trivial and does not cover all wrong situations, but the main
purpose is to detect most common mistakes, not intentional abuses.
The underscore ("_") character is not RFC-valid but as it is
often (mis)used so I decided to allow it.
Matt Farnsworth reported a memory leak in str2sun() in case a too large
socket path is passed. The bug is very minor because it only happens
once during config parsing, but has to be fixed nevertheless. The patch
Matt provided could even be improved by completely removing the useless
strdup() in this function.
Solaris, as well as many other unixes doesn't know about sun_len
for UNIX domain sockets. It does not honnor the __SOCKADDR_COMMON
macro either. After looking at MacOS-X man (which is the same as
BSD man), OpenBSD man, and examples on the net, it appears that
those which support sun_len do not actually use it, or at least
ignore it as long as it's zero. Since all the sockaddr structures
are zeroed prior to being filled, it causes no problem not to set
sun_len, and this fixes build on other platforms.
Another problem on Solaris was that the "sun" name is already
defined as a macro returning a number, so it was necessary to
rename it.
The code in haproxy-1.3.13.1 only supports syslogging to an internet
address. The attached patch:
- Adds support for syslogging to a UNIX domain socket (e.g., /dev/log).
If the address field begins with '/' (absolute file path), then
AF_UNIX is used to construct the socket. Otherwise, AF_INET is used.
- Achieves clean single-source build on both Mac OS X and Linux
(sockaddr_in.sin_len and sockaddr_un.sun_len field aren't always present).
For handling sendto() failures in send_log(), it appears that the existing
code is fine (no need to close/recreate socket) for both UDP and UNIX-domain
syslog server. So I left things alone (did not close/recreate socket).
Closing/recreating socket after each failure would also work, but would lead
to increased amount of unnecessary socket creation/destruction if syslog is
temporarily unavailable for some reason (especially for verbose loggers).
Please consider this patch for inclusion into the upstream haproxy codebase.
This new function accepts inputs in various default units, from
the microsecond to the day. It detects suffixes after numbers
and performs the appropriate conversions between the user's unit
and the program's unit, considering a unit-less number in the
default unit.
In order to avoid issues in the future, we want to restrict
the set of allowed characters for identifiers. Starting from
now, only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '-', '_', '.' and ':' will be allowed
for a proxy, a server or an ACL name.
A test file has been added to check the restriction.
Due to the fact that htons is defined as a macro, it's dangerous
to call it with auto-incremented arguments such as htons(f(++x)) :
src/standard.c: In function 'url2sa':
src/standard.c:291: warning: operation on 'curr' may be undefined
The solution is simply to store the intermediate result an pass it
to htons() at once.
Hello,
You will find attached an updated release of previously submitted patch.
It polish some part and extend ACL engine to match IP and PORT parsed in
HTTP request. (and take care of comments made by Willy ! ;))

This is in fact the same as ultoa() except that it's possible to
pass the string to be returned in case the value is NULL. This is
useful to report limits in printf calls.
Current ultoa() function is limited to one use per expression or
function call. Sometimes this is limitating. Change this in favor
of an array of 10 return values and shorter macros U2A0..U2A9
which respectively call the function with the 10 different buffers.
The strl2ic() and strl2uic() primitives used to convert string to
integers could return 10 times the value read if they stopped on
non-digit because of a mis-placed loop exit.
The log format has been slightly updated to separately report the name
of the frontend and the name of the backend. The accept date has been
enhanced to report the millisecond. The number of remaining connections
has also been updated and their order reversed, to include the number
of connections on the frontend. The new log format is now :
- $1: IP:port
- $2: accept date in this format : [dd/mm/YYYY:HH:MM:SS.ttt]
- $3: frontend name
- $4: backend name '/' server name
- $5: req time '/' queue time '/' conn time '/' header time '/' total time
- $6: HTTP status code
- $7: number of bytes returned
- $8: captures (request)
- $9: captures (response)
- $10: completion flags
- $11: remaining conns on process '/' frontend '/' backend '/' server
- $12: srv queue size '/' backend queue size
- $13..: '"' full request '"'
Markus Elfring suggested adding a few checks which were missing
after a bunch of getsockopt() and 2 strdup(). While those are
unlikely to fail where they are used, it makes the code cleaner.
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.
