3193685865 [MINOR] cookie: add options "maxidle" and "maxlife"
Add two new arguments to the "cookie" keyword, to be able to
fix a max idle and max life on them. Right now only the parameter
parsing is implemented.

43961d523f [MINOR] global: add "tune.chksize" to change the default check buffer size
HTTP content-based health checks will be involved in searching text in pages.
Some pages may not fit in the default buffer (16kB) and sometimes it might be
desired to have larger buffers in order to find patterns. Running checks on
smaller URIs is always preferred of course.

bd741540d2 [MEDIUM] checks: add support for HTTP contents lookup
This patch adds the "http-check expect [r]{string,status}" statements
which enable health checks based on whether the response status or body
to an HTTP request contains a string or matches a regex.

This probably is one of the oldest patches that remained unmerged. Over
the time, several people have contributed to it, among which FinalBSD
(first and second implementations), Nick Chalk (port to 1.4), Anze
Skerlavaj (tests and fixes), Cyril Bont (general fixes), and of course
myself for the final fixes and doc during integration.

Some people already use an old version of this patch which has several
issues, among which the inability to search for a plain string that is
not at the beginning of the data, and the inability to look for response
contents that are provided in a second and subsequent recv() calls. But
since some configs are already deployed, it was quite important to ensure
a 100% compatible behaviour on the working cases.

Thus, that patch fixes the issues while maintaining config compatibility
with already deployed versions.

22a9534213 [MEDIUM] make it possible to combine http-pretend-keepalived with httpclose
Some configs may involve httpclose in a frontend and http-pretend-keepalive
in a backend. httpclose used to take priority over keepalive, thus voiding
its effect. This change ensures that when both are combined, keepalive is
still announced to the server while close is announced to the client.

58bd8fd46d [BUG] stream_sock: try to flush any extra pending request data after a POST
Some broken browsers still happen to send a CRLF after a POST. Those which
send a CRLF in a second packet have it queued into the system's buffers,
which causes an RST to be emitted by some systems upon close of the response
(eg: Linux). The client may then receive the RST without the last response
segments, resulting in a truncated response.

This change leaves request polling enabled on a POST so that we can flush
any late data from the request buffers.

A more complete workaround would consist in reading from the request for a
long time, until we get confirmation that the close has been ACKed. This
is much more complex and should only be studied for newer versions.

a97e73a0a1 [BUG] ebtree: string_equal_bits() could return garbage on identical strings
(from ebtree 6.0.2)

When inserting duplicates on x86/x86_64, the assembler optimization
does not support equal strings that both end up with a zero, and
can return garbage in the bit number, possibly causing a segfault
for its users. The only case where this can happen appears to be
in ebst_insert().

e9f32dbf5c [BUG] stream_sock: cleanly disable the listener in case of resource shortage
Jozsef R.Nagy reported a reliability issue on FreeBSD. Sometimes an error
would be emitted, reporting the inability to switch a socket to non-blocking
mode and the listener would definitely not accept anything. Cyril Bont
narrowed this bug down to the call to EV_FD_CLR(l->fd, DIR_RD).

He was right because this call is wrong. It only disables input events on
the listening socket, without setting the listener to the LI_LISTEN state,
so any subsequent call to enable_listener() from maintain_proxies() is
ignored ! The correct fix consists in calling disable_listener() instead.

It is discutable whether we should keep such error path or just ignore the
event. The goal in earlier versions was to temporarily disable new activity
in order to let the system recover while releasing resources.

74b08c9ab7 [MEDIUM] buffers: rework the functions to exchange between SI and buffers
There was no consistency between all the functions used to exchange data
between a buffer and a stream interface. Also, the functions used to send
data to a buffer did not consider the possibility that the buffer was
shutdown for read.

Now the functions are called buffer_{put,get}_{char,block,chunk,string}.

The old buffer_feed* functions have been left available for existing code
but marked deprecated.

f6e2cc79d8 [BUG] deinit: unbind listeners before freeing them
In deinit(), it is possible that we first free the listeners, then
unbind them all. Right now this situation can't happen because the
only way to call deinit() is to pass via a soft-stop which will
already unbind all protocols. But later this might become a problem.

24581bae02 [MEDIUM] http: fix space handling in the response cookie parser
This patch addresses exactly the same issues as the previous one, but
for responses this time. It also introduces implicit support for the
Set-Cookie2 header, for which there's almost nothing specific to do
since it is a clean header. This one allows multiple cookies in a
same header, by respecting the HTTP messaging semantics.

The new parser has been tested with insertion, rewrite, passive,
removal, prefixing and captures, and it looks OK. It's still able
to rewrite (or delete) multiple cookies at once. Just as with the
request parser, it tries hard to fix formating of the cookies it
displaces.

This patch too should be backported to 1.4 and possibly to 1.3.

eb7b0a2b56 [MEDIUM] http: fix space handling in the request cookie parser
The request cookie parser did not allow spaces to appear in cookie
values nor around the equal sign. The various RFCs on the subject
say different things, some suggesting that a space is allowed after
the equal sign and being worded in a way that lets one believe it
is allowed before too. Some spaces may appear inside values and be
part of the values. The quotes allow delimiters to be embedded in
values. The spaces before and after attributes should be trimmed.

The new parser addresses all those points and has been carefully tested.
It fixes misplaced spaces around equal signs before processing the cookies
or forwarding them. It also tries its best to perform clean removals by
always keeping the delimiter after the value being removed and leaving one
space after it.

The variable inside the parser have been renamed to make the code a lot
more understandable, and one multi-function pointer has been eliminated.

Since this patch fixes real possible issues, it should be backported to 1.4
and possibly 1.3, since one (single) case of wrong spaces has been reported
in 1.3.

The code handling the Set-Cookie has not been touched yet.

0f7f51fbe0 [BUG] http: don't consider commas as a header delimitor within quotes
The header parser has a bug which causes commas to be matched within
quotes while it was not expected. The way the code was written could
make one think it was OK. The resulting effect is that the following
config would use the second IP address instead of the third when facing
this request :

   source 0.0.0.0 usesrc hdr_ip(X-Forwarded-For,2)

   GET / HTTP/1.0
   X-Forwarded-for: "127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2", 127.0.0.3

This fix must be backported to 1.4 and 1.3.

92aa1fac0a [BUG] http: don't set auto_close if more data are expected
Fix 4fe4190278 was a bit too strong. It
has caused some chunked-encoded responses to be truncated when a recv()
call could return multiple chunks followed by a close. The reason is
that when a chunk is parsed, only its contents are scheduled to be
forwarded. Thus, the reader sees auto_close+shutr and sets shutw_now.
The sender in turn sends the last scheduled data and does shutw().

Another nasty effect is that it has reduced the keep-alive rate. If
a response did not completely fit into the buffer, then the auto_close
bit was left on and the sender would close upon completion.

The fix consists in not making use of auto_close when chunked encoding
is used nor when keep-alive is used, which makes sense. However it is
maintained on error processing.

Thanks to Cyril Bont for reporting the issue early.

d0807c3c60 [MEDIUM] signals: support redistribution of signal zero when stopping
Signal zero is never delivered by the system. However having a signal to
which functions and tasks can subscribe to be notified of a stopping event
is useful. So this patch does two things :
  1) allow signal zero to be delivered from any function of signal handler
  2) make soft_stop() deliver this signal so that tasks can be notified of
     a stopping condition.

bb545b4cfc [MINOR] startup: don't wait for nothing when no old pid remains
In case of binding failure during startup, we wait for some time sending
signals to old pids so that they release the ports we need. But if there
aren't any old pids anymore, it's useless to wait, we prefer to fail fast.
Along with this change, we now have the number of old pids really found

fb024dc1c9 [BUG] conf: add tcp-request content rules to the correct list
Due to the change in commit 68c03, the tcp-request content rules were
unfortunately being added to the request rules.

07e9e64a34 [BUG] stats: global stats timeout may be specified before stats socket.
If the global stats timeout statement was found before the stats socket
(or without), the parser would crash because the stats frontend was not
initialized. Now we have an allocation function which solves the issue.

This bug was introduced with 1.4 so it does not need backporting.

d132f746f2 [BUG] queue: don't dequeue proxy-global requests on disabled servers
If a server is disabled or tracking a disabled server, it must not
dequeue requests pending in the proxy queue, it must only dequeue
its own ones.

The problem that was caused is that if a backend always had requests
in its queue, a disabled server would continue to take traffic forever.

4d179ebd21 [BUG] stats: session rate limit gets garbaged in the stats
The statistics page (the HTML one) displays a garbage value on frontends using
"rate-limit session" in HTTP mode.

This is due to the usage of the same buffer for the macros converting the max
session rate and the limit.

Steps to reproduce :
Configuration file example  :
listen bug :80
  mode http
  rate-limit sessions
  stats enable

Then start refreshing the statistics page.

This bug was introduced just before the release of haproxy 1.4.0.

5c54c71463 [MEDIUM] http: forward client's close when abortonclose is set
While it's usually desired to wait for a server response even
when the client closes its request channel, it can be problematic
with long polling requests. In order to let the server decide what
to do in such a case, if option abortonclose is set, we simply
forward the shutdown to the server. That way, it can decide to
take the appropriate action. Most servers will still process the
request, while some will probably want to abort.

Obviously, this only works as long as the client has not sent
another pipelined request over the same connection.

e965652f23 [DOC] update the references to session counters and to tcp-request connection
The syntax has changed several times during the development, so let's reflect
that in the doc. It is now better factored.

df39e955c0 [CLEANUP] stats: use stksess_kill() to remove table entries
Using it will be more reliable in the long term as we'll only have
to modify stksess_kill() if we want to extend the tables.

0a4838cd31 [MEDIUM] session-counters: correctly unbind the counters tracked by the backend
In case of HTTP keepalive processing, we want to release the counters tracked
by the backend. Till now only the second set of counters was released, while
it could have been assigned by the frontend, or the backend could also have
assigned the first set. Now we reuse to unused bits of the session flags to
mark which stick counters were assigned by the backend and to release them as
appropriate.

56123282ef [MINOR] session-counters: use "track-sc{1,2}" instead of "track-{fe,be}-counters"
The assumption that there was a 1:1 relation between tracked counters and
the frontend/backend role was wrong. It is perfectly possible to track the
track-fe-counters from the backend and the track-be-counters from the
frontend. Thus, in order to reduce confusion, let's remove this useless
{fe,be} reference and simply use {1,2} instead. The keywords have also been
renamed in order to limit confusion. The ACL rule action now becomes
"track-sc{1,2}". The ACLs are now "sc{1,2}_*" instead of "trk{fe,be}_*".

That means that we can reasonably document "sc1" and "sc2" (sticky counters
1 and 2) as sort of patterns that are available during the whole session's
life and use them just like any other pattern.

9e9879a263 [MEDIUM] session-counters: make it possible to count connections from frontend
In case a "track-be-counters" rule is referenced in the frontend, count it so
that the connection counts are correct.

68c03aba9e [MEDIUM] config: replace 'tcp-request <action>' with "tcp-request connection"
It began to be problematic to have "tcp-request" followed by an
immediate action, as sometimes it was a keyword indicating a hook
or setting ("content" or "inspect-delay") and sometimes it was an
action.

Now the prefix for connection-level tcp-requests is "tcp-request connection"
and the ones processing contents remain "tcp-request contents".

This has allowed a nice simplification of the config parser and to
clean up the doc a bit. Also now it's a bit more clear why tcp-request
connection are not allowed in backends.
