The syntax used to document fetching samples with optional arguments was not
always valid. This commit fixes this issue in order to allow an easier parsing
of the documentation.
This is the continuation of previous patch. Now that full buffers are
not rejected anymore, let's wait for at least the advertised chunk or
body length to be present or the buffer to be full. When either
condition is met, the message processing can go forward.
Thus we don't need to use url_param_post_limit anymore, which was passed
in the configuration as an optionnal <max_wait> parameter after the
"check_post" value. This setting was necessary when the feature was
implemented because there was no support for parsing message bodies.
The argument is now silently ignored if set in the configuration.
language(<value[;value[;value[;...]]]>[,<default>])
Returns the value with the highest q-factor from a list as
extracted from the "accept-language" header using "req.fhdr".
Values with no q-factor have a q-factor of 1. Values with a
q-factor of 0 are dropped. Only values which belong to the
list of semi-colon delimited <values> will be considered. If
no value matches the given list and a default value is
provided, it is returned. Note that language names may have
a variant after a dash ('-'). If this variant is present in
the list, it will be matched, but if it is not, only the base
language is checked. The match is case-sensitive, and the
output string is always one of those provided in arguments.
The ordering of arguments is meaningless, only the ordering
of the values in the request counts, as the first value among
multiple sharing the same q-factor is used.
Example :
# this configuration switches to the backend matching a
# given language based on the request :
acl de req.fhdr(accept-language),language(de;es;fr;en) de
acl es req.fhdr(accept-language),language(de;es;fr;en) es
acl fr req.fhdr(accept-language),language(de;es;fr;en) fr
acl en req.fhdr(accept-language),language(de;es;fr;en) en
use_backend german if de
use_backend spanish if es
use_backend french if fr
use_backend english if en
default_backend choose_your_language
The TLS unique id, or unique channel binding, is a byte string that can be
pulled from a TLS connection and it is unique to that connection. It is
defined in RFC 5929 section 3. The value is used by various upper layer
protocols as part of an extra layer of security. For example XMPP
(RFC 6120) and EST (RFC 7030).
Add the ssl_fc_unique_id keyword and corresponding sample fetch method.
Value is retrieved from OpenSSL and base64 encoded as described in RFC
5929 section 3.
We have a use case where we look up a customer ID in an HTTP header
and direct it to the corresponding server. This can easily be done
using ACLs and use_backend rules, but the configuration becomes
painful to maintain when the number of customers grows to a few
tens or even a several hundreds.
We realized it would be nice if we could make the use_backend
resolve its name at run time instead of config parsing time, and
use a similar expression as http-request add-header to decide on
the proper backend to use. This permits the use of prefixes or
even complex names in backend expressions. If no name matches,
then the default backend is used. Doing so allowed us to get rid
of all the use_backend rules.
Since there are some config checks on the use_backend rules to see
if the referenced backend exists, we want to keep them to detect
config errors in normal config. So this patch does not modify the
default behaviour and proceeds this way :
- if the backend name in the use_backend directive parses as a log
format rule, it's used as-is and is resolved at run time ;
- otherwise it's a static name which must be valid at config time.
There was the possibility of doing this with the use-server directive
instead of use_backend, but it seems like use_backend is more suited
to this task, as it can be used for other purposes. For example, it
becomes easy to serve a customer-specific proxy.pac file based on the
customer ID by abusing the errorfile primitive :
use_backend bk_cust_%[hdr(X-Cust-Id)] if { hdr(X-Cust-Id) -m found }
default_backend bk_err_404
backend bk_cust_1
errorfile 200 /etc/haproxy/static/proxy.pac.cust1

This patch replace the word <name> by the word <file>. This word defines
the (string) returned by show "map/acl". This patch also update
documentation to explain how is composed the map or acl identifier.
This patch remove the limit of 32 groups. It also permit to use standard
"pat_parse_str()" function in place of "pat_parse_strcat()". The
"pat_parse_strcat()" is no longer used and its removed. Before this
patch, the groups are stored in a bitfield, now they are stored in a
list of strings. The matching is slower, but the number of groups is
low and generally the list of allowed groups is short.
The fetch function "smp_fetch_http_auth_grp()" used with the name
"http_auth_group" return valid username. It can be used as string for
displaying the username or with the acl "http_auth_group" for checking
the group of the user.
Maybe the names of the ACL and fetch methods are no longer suitable, but
I keep the current names for conserving the compatibility with existing
configurations.
The function "userlist_postinit()" is created from verification code
stored in the big function "check_config_validity()". The code is
adapted to the new authentication storage system and it is moved in the
"src/auth.c" file. This function is used to check the validity of the
users declared in groups and to check the validity of groups declared
on the "user" entries.
This resolve function is executed before the check of all proxy because
many acl needs solved users and groups.
This new filter converts BIN type to its hexadecimal
representation in STR type. It is used to keep the
compatibility with the original bin2str cast.
It will be useful when bin2str changes to copy the
string as-is without encoding anymore.
Sometimes it can be useful to generate a random value, at least
for debugging purposes, but also to take routing decisions or to
pass such a value to a backend server.
The ability to globally override the default client and server cipher
suites has been requested multiple times since the introduction of SSL.
This commit adds two new keywords to the global section for this :
- ssl-default-bind-ciphers
- ssl-default-server-ciphers
It is still possible to preset them at build time by setting the macros
LISTEN_DEFAULT_CIPHERS and CONNECT_DEFAULT_CIPHERS.
The new tune.idletimer value allows one to set a different value for
idle stream detection. The default value remains set to one second.
It is possible to disable it using zero, and to change the default
value at build time using DEFAULT_IDLE_TIMER.
It happens that latest change broke some monitoring tools which expect the
field to be found at the same position as indicated in the doc. Let's move
it to the last column instead.
Add 2 sample fetchs allowing to extract the method and the uri of an
HTTP request.
FIXME: the sample fetches parser can't add the LW_REQ requirement, at
the moment this flag is used automatically when you use sample fetches.
Note: also fixed the alphabetical order of other capture.req.* keywords
in the doc.

A new tcp-check rule type: connect.
It allows HAProxy to test applications which stand on multiple ports or
multiple applications load-balanced through the same backend.
Since we support HTTP keep-alive, there is no more reason for staying
in tunnel mode by default. It is confusing for new users and creates
more issues than it solves. Option "http-tunnel" is available to force
to use it if really desired.
Switching to KA by default has implied to change the value of some
option flags and some transaction flags so that value zero (default)
matches keep-alive. That explains why more code has been changed than
expected. Tests have been run on the 25 combinations of frontend and
backend options, plus a few with option http-pretend-keepalive, and
no anomaly was found.
The relation between frontend and backends remains the same. Options
have been updated to take precedence over http-keep-alive which is now
implicit.
All references in the doc to haproxy not supporting keep-alive have
been fixed, and the doc for config options has been updated.
At the very beginning of haproxy, there was "option httpclose" to make
haproxy add a "Connection: close" header in both directions to invite
both sides to agree on closing the connection. It did not work with some
rare products, so "option forceclose" was added to do the same and actively
close the connection. Then client-side keep-alive was supported, so option
http-server-close was introduced. Now we have keep-alive with a fourth
option, not to mention the implicit tunnel mode.
The connection configuration has become a total mess because all the
options above may be combined together, despite almost everyone thinking
they cancel each other, as judging from the common problem reports on the
mailing list. Unfortunately, re-reading the doc shows that it's not clear
at all that options may be combined, and the opposite seems more obvious
since they're compared. The most common issue is options being set in the
defaults section that are not negated in other sections, but are just
combined when the user expects them to be overloaded. The migration to
keep-alive by default will only make things worse.
So let's start to address the first problem. A transaction can only work in
5 modes today :
- tunnel : haproxy doesn't bother with what follows the first req/resp
- passive close : option http-close
- forced close : option forceclose
- server close : option http-server-close with keep-alive on the client side
- keep-alive : option http-keep-alive, end to end
All 16 combination for each section fall into one of these cases. Same for
the 256 combinations resulting from frontend+backend different modes.
With this patch, we're doing something slightly different, which will not
change anything for users with valid configs, and will only change the
behaviour for users with unsafe configs. The principle is that these options
may not combined anymore, and that the latest one always overrides all the
other ones, including those inherited from the defaults section. The "no
option xxx" statement is still supported to cancel one option and fall back
to the default one. It is mainly needed to ignore defaults sections (eg:
force the tunnel mode). The frontend+backend combinations have not changed.
So for examplen the following configuration used to put the connection
into forceclose :
defaults http
mode http
option httpclose
frontend foo.
option http-server-close
=> http-server-close+httpclose = forceclose before this patch! Now
the frontend's config replaces the defaults config and results in
the more expected http-server-close.
All 25 combinations of the 5 modes in (frontend,backend) have been
successfully tested.
In order to prepare for upcoming changes, a new "option http-tunnel" was
added. It currently only voids all other options, and has the lowest
precedence when mixed with another option in another frontend/backend.
If no CA file specified on a server line, the config parser will show an error.
Adds an cmdline option '-dV' to re-set verify 'none' as global default on
servers side (previous behavior).
Also adds 'ssl-server-verify' global statement to set global default to
'none' or 'required'.
WARNING: this changes the default verify mode from "none" to "required" on
the server side, and it *will* break insecure setups.
One year ago, commit 5d5b5d8 ("MEDIUM: proto_tcp: add support for tracking
L7 information") brought support for tracking L7 information in tcp-request
content rules. Two years earlier, commit 0a4838c ("[MEDIUM] session-counters:
correctly unbind the counters tracked by the backend") used to flush the
backend counters after processing a request.
While that earliest patch was correct at the time, it became wrong after
the second patch was merged. The code does what it says, but the concept
is flawed. "TCP request content" rules are evaluated for each HTTP request
over a single connection. So if such a rule in the frontend decides to
track any L7 information or to track L4 information when an L7 condition
matches, then it is applied to all requests over the same connection even
if they don't match. This means that a rule such as :
tcp-request content track-sc0 src if { path /index.html }
will count one request for index.html, and another one for each of the
objects present on this page that are fetched over the same connection
which sent the initial matching request.
Worse, it is possible to make the code do stupid things by using multiple
counters:
tcp-request content track-sc0 src if { path /foo }
tcp-request content track-sc1 src if { path /bar }
Just sending two requests first, one with /foo, one with /bar, shows
twice the number of requests for all subsequent requests. Just because
both of them persist after the end of the request.
So the decision to flush backend-tracked counters was not the correct
one. In practice, what is important is to flush countent-based rules
since they are the ones evaluated for each request.
Doing so requires new flags in the session however, to keep track of
which stick-counter was tracked by what ruleset. A later change might
make this easier to maintain over time.
This bug is 1.5-specific, no backport to stable is needed.
show pools
Dump the status of internal memory pools. This is useful to track memory
usage when suspecting a memory leak for example. It does exactly the same
as the SIGQUIT when running in foreground except that it does not flush
the pools.
Just like the previous commit, we sometimes want to limit the rate of
incoming SSL connections. While it can be done for a frontend, it was
not possible for a whole process, which makes sense when multiple
processes are running on a system to server multiple customers.
The new global "maxsslrate" setting is usable to fix a limit on the
session rate going to the SSL frontends. The limits applies before
the SSL handshake and not after, so that it saves the SSL stack from
expensive key computations that would finally be aborted before being
accounted for.
The same setting may be changed at run time on the CLI using
"set rate-limit ssl-session global".
It's sometimes useful to be able to limit the connection rate on a machine
running many haproxy instances (eg: per customer) but it removes the ability
for that machine to defend itself against a DoS. Thus, better also provide a
limit on the session rate, which does not include the connections rejected by
"tcp-request connection" rules. This permits to have much higher limits on
the connection rate without having to raise the session rate limit to insane
values.
The limit can be changed on the CLI using "set rate-limit sessions global",
or in the global section using "maxsessrate".
Patrick Hemmer reported that using unique_id_format and logs did not
report the same unique ID counter since commit 9f09521 ("BUG/MEDIUM:
unique_id: HTTP request counter must be unique!"). This is because
the increment was done while producing the log message, so it was
performed twice.
A better solution consists in fetching a new value once per request
and saving it in the request or session context for all of this
request's life.
It happens that sessions already have a unique ID field which is used
for debugging and reporting errors, and which differs from the one
sent in logs and unique_id header.
So let's change this to reuse this field to have coherent IDs everywhere.
As of now, a session gets a new unique ID once it is instanciated. This
means that TCP sessions will also benefit from a unique ID that can be
logged. And this ID is renewed for each extra HTTP request received on
an existing session. Thus, all TCP sessions and HTTP requests will have
distinct IDs that will be stable along all their life, and coherent
between all places where they're used (logs, unique_id header,
"show sess", "show errors").
This feature is 1.5-specific, no backport to 1.4 is needed.
In HTTP keep-alive mode, if we receive a 401, we still have a chance
of being able to send the visitor again to the same server over the
same connection. This is required by some broken protocols such as
NTLM, and anyway whenever there is an opportunity for sending the
challenge to the proper place, it's better to do it (at least it
helps with debugging).

When the load balancing algorithm in use is not deterministic, and a previous
request was sent to a server to which haproxy still holds a connection, it is
sometimes desirable that subsequent requests on a same session go to the same
server as much as possible. Note that this is different from persistence, as
we only indicate a preference which haproxy tries to apply without any form
of warranty. The real use is for keep-alive connections sent to servers. When
this option is used, haproxy will try to reuse the same connection that is
attached to the server instead of rebalancing to another server, causing a
close of the connection. This can make sense for static file servers. It does
not make much sense to use this in combination with hashing algorithms.
This new option enables HTTP keep-alive processing on the connections.
It can be overwritten by http-server-close, httpclose and forceclose.
Right now full-chain keep-alive is not yet implemented, but we need
the option to work on it. The doc will come later.
This patch adds map manipulation commands to the socket interface.
add map <map> <key> <value>
Add the value <value> in the map <map>, at the entry corresponding to
the key <key>. This command does not verify if the entry already
exists.
clear map <map>
Remove entries from the map <map>
del map <map> <key>
Delete all the map entries corresponding to the <key> value in the map
<map>.
set map <map> <key> <value>
Modify the value corresponding to each key <key> in a map <map>. The
new value is <value>.
show map [<map>]
Dump info about map converters. Without argument, the list of all
available maps are returned. If a <map> is specified, is content is
dumped.
This patch remove the compatibility check from the input type and the
match method. Now, it checks if a casts from the input type to output
type exists and the pattern_exec_match() function apply casts before
each pattern matching.
