http_parse_errorfile() may now be used to parse a raw HTTP message from a
file. A status code is passed as parameter. It must be one of the supported HTTP
error codes to be valid. Otherwise an error is returned. It aims to be used to
parse "errorfile" directives. It relies on http_load_errorfile() to do most of
the job, ie reading the file content and converting it in HTX.
Empty error files may be used to disable the sending of any message for specific
error codes. A common use-case is to use the file "/dev/null". This way the
default error message is overridden and no message is returned to the client. It
was supported in the legacy HTTP mode, but not in HTX. Because of a bug, such
messages triggered an error.
This patch must be backported to 2.0 and 1.9. However, the patch will have to be
adapted.
Default HTTP error messages are stored in an array of chunks. And since the HTX
was added, these messages are also converted in HTX and stored in another
array. But now, the first array is not used anymore because the legacy HTTP mode
was removed.
So now, only the array with the HTX messages are kept. The other one was
removed.
Now, we only return the start-line. If not found, NULL is returned. No lookup is
performed and the HTX message is no more updated. It is now the caller
responsibility to update the position of the start-line to the right value. So
when it is not found, i.e sl_pos is set to -1, it means the last start-line has
been already processed and the next one has not been inserted yet.
It is mandatory to rely on this kind of warranty to store 1xx informational
responses and final reponse in the same HTX message.
During startup, after the configuration parsing, all HTTP error messages
(errorloc, errorfile or default messages) are converted into HTX messages and
stored in dedicated buffers. We use it to return errors in the HTX analyzers
instead of using ugly OOB blocks.
Instead, we now use the htx_sl coming from the HTX message. It avoids to have
too H1 specific code in version-agnostic parts. Of course, the concept of the
start-line is higly influenced by the H1, but the structure htx_sl can be
adapted, if necessary. And many things depend on a start-line during HTTP
analyzis. Using the structure htx_sl also avoid boring conversions between HTX
version and H1 version.
This file will host all functions to manipulate HTTP messages using the HTX
representation. Functions in this file will be able to be called from anywhere
and are mainly related to the HTTP semantics.
