- several fixes in ev_sepoll
- fixed some expiration dates on some tasks
- fixed a bug in connection establishment detection due to speculative I/O
- fixed rare bug occuring on TCP with early close (reported by Andy Smith)
- implemented URI hashing algorithm (Guillaume Dallaire)
- implemented SMTP health checks (Peter van Dijk)
- replaced the rbtree with ul2tree from old scheduler project
- new framework for generic ACL support
- added the 'acl' and 'block' keywords to the config language
- added several ACL criteria and matches (IP, port, URI, ...)
- cleaned up and better modularization for some time functions
- fixed list macros
- fixed useless memory allocation in str2net()
- store the original destination address in the session
This framework offers all other subsystems the ability to register
ACL matching criteria. Some generic matching functions are already
provided. Others will come soon and the framework shall evolve.
- modularized the polling mechanisms and use function pointers instead
of macros at many places
- implemented support for FreeBSD's kqueue() polling mechanism
- fixed a warning on OpenBSD : MIN/MAX redefined
- change socket registration order at startup to accomodate kqueue.
- several makefile cleanups to support old shells
- fix build with limits.h once for all
- ev_epoll: do not rely on fd_sets anymore, use changes stacks instead.
- fdtab now holds the results of polling
- implemented support for speculative I/O processing with epoll()
- remove useless calls to shutdown(SHUT_RD), resulting in small speed boost
- auto-registering of pollers at load time
select, poll and epoll now have their dedicated functions and have
been split into distinct files. Several FD manipulation primitives
have been provided with each poller.
The rest of the code needs to be cleaned to remove traces of
StaticReadEvent/StaticWriteEvent. A trick involving a macro has
temporarily been used right now. Some work needs to be done to
factorize tests and sets everywhere.
- rewriting either the status line or request line could crash the
process due to a pointer which ought to be reset before parsing.
- rewriting the status line in the response did not work, it caused
a 502 Bad Gateway due to an erroneous state during parsing
- fix reqadd when no option httpclose is used.
- removed now unused fiprm and beprm from proxies
- split logs into two versions : TCP and HTTP
- added some docs about http headers storage and acls
- added a VIM script for syntax color highlighting (Bruno Michel)
- fixed several bugs which might have caused a crash with bad configs
- several optimizations in header processing
- many progresses towards transaction-based processing
- option forwardfor may be used in frontends
- completed HTTP response processing
- some code refactoring between request and response processing
- new HTTP header manipulation functions
- optimizations on the recv() patch to reduce CPU usage under very
high data rates.
- more user-friendly help about the 'usesrc' keyword (CTTPROXY)
- username/groupname support from Marcus Rueckert
- added the "except" keyword to the "forwardfor" option (Bryan German)
- support for health-checks on other addresses (Fabrice Dulaunoy)
- makefile for MacOS 10.4 / Darwin (Dan Zinngrabe)
- do not insert "Connection: close" in HTTP/1.0 messages
- fix critical bug introduced with 1.3.6 : an empty request header
may lead to a crash due to missing pointer assignment
- hdr_idx might be left uninitialized in debug mode
- fixed build on FreeBSD due to missing fd_set declaration
- stats now support the HEAD method too
- extracted http request from the session
- huge rework of the HTTP parser which is now a 28-state FSM.
- linux-style likely/unlikely macros for optimization hints
- do not create a server socket when there's no server
- added complete support and doc for TCP Splicing
- replaced the wait-queue linked list with an rbtree.
- stats: swap color sets for active and backup servers
- try to guess server check port when unset
- a few bugfixes and cleanups
This patch from Sin Yu makes use of an rbtree for the wait queue,
which will solve the slowdown problem encountered when timeouts
are heterogenous in the configuration. The next step will be to
turn maintain_proxies() into a per-proxy task so that we won't
have to scan them all after each poll() loop.
This structure will consume 4 bytes per header to keep track of
headers within a request or a response without having to parse
the whole request for each regex. As it's not possible to allocate
only 4 bytes, we define a max number of HTTP headers. We set it
to (BUFSIZE+79)/80 so that 8kB buffers can contain 100 headers
(like Apache), resulting in 400 bytes dedicated to indexation,
or about 400/(2*8kB) ~= 2.4% of the memory usage.
Released 1.3.3 with the following changes :
- fix broken redispatch option in case the connection has already
been marked "in progress" (ie: nearly always).
- support regparm on x86 to speed up some often called functions
- removed a few useless calls to gettimeofday() in log functions.
- lots of 'const char*' cleanups
- turn every FD_* into functions which are faster on recent CPUs
- builds again on OpenBSD and Solaris
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.
