It is now possible to read error messages from local files,
using the 'errorfile' keyword. Those files are read during
parsing, so there's no I/O involved. They make it possible
to return custom error messages with custom status and headers.
This makes it possible to relay SSL connections in pure TCP instances while
ensuring the remote end really receives our data eventhough intermediate
agents (firewalls, proxies, ...) might acknowledge the connection.
* added the '-V' command line option to verbosely report errors even though
the -q or 'quiet' options are specified. This is useful with '-c'.
* added a Red Hat init script and a .spec from Simon Matter <simon.matter@invoca.ch>
* added 'rspdeny' and 'rspideny' to block certain responses to avoid sensible
information leak from servers.
* more examples added into the configuration
* if a client sent a full request then shut its write connection down, then
the request was aborted. This case was detected only when using haproxy
both as health-check client and as a server.
* if 'option httpchk' is used in a 'health' mode server, then responses will
change from 'OK' to 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK'.
* fixed a Linux-only bug in case of HTTP server health-checks, where a single
server response followed by a close could be ignored, and the server seen
as failed.
* renamed 'haproxy.txt' to 'haproxy-fr.txt'
* large documentation and examples cleanups
* changed the debug output format so that it now includes the session unique
ID followed by the instance name at the beginning of each line.
* in debug mode, accept now shows the client's IP and port.
* added one 3 small debugging scripts to search and pretty print debug output
* changed the default health check request to "OPTIONS /" instead of
"OPTIONS *" since not all servers implement the later one.
* "option httpchk" now accepts an optional parameter allowing the user to
specify and URI other than '/' during health-checks.
* made Makefile more robust to pcre-config errors
* added 3 new pretty-print scripts : debug2ansi, debug2html and debugfind
* upgraded Formilux package to haproxy-1.1.21-flx.1.pkg
* removed the now obsolete haproxy2html.sh
* add the notion of "backup" servers, which are used only when all other
servers are down.
* make Set-Cookie return "" instead of "(null)" when the server has no
cookie assigned (useful for backup servers).
* "log" now supports an optionnal level name (info, notice, err ...) above
which nothing is sent.
* replaced some strncmp() with memcmp() for better efficiency.
* added "capture cookie" option which logs client and/or server cookies
* cleaned up/down messages and dump servers states upon SIGHUP
* added a redirection feature for errors : "errorloc <errnum> <url>"
* now we won't insist on connecting to a dead server, even with a cookie,
unless option "persist" is specified.
* added HTTP/408 response for client request time-out and HTTP/50[234] for
server reply time-out or errors.
* updates to the examples files
* added a 'do_status' command to the Formilux init script
* fixed stats monitoring, and optimized some tv_* for most common cases.
* replaced temporary 'newhdr' with 'trash' to reduce stack size
* made HTTP errors more HTML-fiendly.
* renamed strlcpy() to strlcpy2() because of a slightly difference between
their behaviour (return value), to avoid confusion.
* restricted HTTP messages to HTTP proxies only
* added a 502 message when the connection has been refused by the server,
to prevent clients from believing this is a zero-byte HTTP 0.9 reply.
* changed 'Cache-control:' from 'no-cache="set-cookie"' to 'private' when
inserting a cookie, because some caches (apache) don't understand it.
* fixed processing of server headers when client is in SHUTR state
* automatically close fd's 0,1 and 2 when going daemon ; setpgrp() after
setpgid()
* updated the Makefile and the Formilux build script
* fixed multi-cookie handling in client request to allow clean deletion
in insert+indirect mode. Now, only the server cookie is deleted and not
all the header. Should now be compliant to RFC2109.
* added a "nocache" option to "cookie" to specify that we explicitly want
to add a "cache-control" header when we add a cookie.
It is also possible to add an "Expires: <old-date>" to keep compatibility
with old/broken caches.
* some doc and examples cleanups
