The HTTP processing has been splitted into 7 steps, one of which
is not anymore HTTP-specific (content-switching). That way, it
becomes possible to use "use_backend" rules in TCP mode. A new
"use_server" directive should follow soon.
This is a first step towards support of multiple configuration files.
Now readcfgfile() only reads a file in memory and performs very minimal
parsing. The checks are performed afterwards.
Some users want to keep the max sessions/s seen on servers, frontends
and backends for capacity planning. It's easy to grab it while the
session count is updated, so let's keep it.
With this change, all frontends, backends, and servers maintain a session
counter and a timer to compute a session rate over the last second. This
value will be very useful because it varies instantly and can be used to
check thresholds. This value is also reported in the stats in a new "rate"
column.
There is a problem when an instance is marked "disabled". Its ports are
still bound but will not be unbound upon termination. This causes processes
to accumulate during soft restarts, and might even cause failures to restart
new ones due to the inability to bind to the same port.
The ideal solution would be to bind all ports at the end of the configuration
parsing. An acceptable workaround is to unbind all listeners of disabled
proxies. This is what the current patch does.

This is the first attempt at moving all internal parts from
using struct timeval to integer ticks. Those provides simpler
and faster code due to simplified operations, and this change
also saved about 64 bytes per session.
A new header file has been added : include/common/ticks.h.
It is possible that some functions should finally not be inlined
because they're used quite a lot (eg: tick_first, tick_add_ifset
and tick_is_expired). More measurements are required in order to
decide whether this is interesting or not.
Some function and variable names are still subject to change for
a better overall logics.
This patch implements ability to set the current state of one server
by tracking another one. It:
- adds two variables: *tracknext, *tracked to struct server
- implements findserver(), similar to findproxy()
- adds "track" keyword accepting both "proxy/server" and "server" (assuming current proxy)
- verifies if both checks and tracking is not enabled at the same time
- changes set_server_down() to notify tracking server
- creates set_server_up(), set_server_disabled(), set_server_enabled() by
moving the code from process_chk() and adding notifications
- changes stats to show a name of tracked server instead of Chk/Dwn/Dwntime(html)
or by adding new variable (csv)
Changes from the previuos version:
- it is possibile to track independently of the declaration order
- one extra comma bug is fixed
- new condition to check if there is no disable-on-404 inconsistency
A new "timeout" keyword replaces old "{con|cli|srv}timeout", and
provides the ability to independantly set the following timeouts :
- client
- tarpit
- queue
- connect
- server
- appsession
Additionally, the "clitimeout", "contimeout" and "srvtimeout" values
are supported but deprecated. No warning is emitted yet when they are
used since the option is very new.
Other timeouts should follow soon now.
It's not easy to report useful information to help the user quickly
fix a configuration. This patch :
- removes the word "listener" in favor of "proxy" as it has been
used since the beginning ;
- ensures that the same function (hence the same words) will be
used to report capabilities of a proxy being declared and an
existing proxy ;
- avoid the term "conflicting capabilities" in favor of "overlapping
capabilities" which is more exact.
- just report that the same name is reused in case of warnings
This patch:
- adds proxy_mode_str() similar to proxy_type_str()
- adds a generic findproxy function used with default_backend/setbe/use_backed
- rewrite default_backend/senbe/use_backed to use introduced findproxy()
- relaxes duplicated proxy check
- changes capabilities displaying from "%X" to "%s" with a call to proxy_type_str()
The timeout functions were difficult to manipulate because they were
rounding results to the millisecond. Thus, it was difficult to compare
and to check what expired and what did not. Also, the comparison
functions were heavy with multiplies and divides by 1000. Now, all
timeouts are stored in timevals, reducing the number of operations
for updates and leading to cleaner and more efficient code.
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.
