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.
The commit 37e340c (BUG/MEDIUM: stick: completely remove the unused flag
from the store entries) was incomplete. We also need to ensure that only
the first store-response for a table is applied and that it may coexist
with a possible store-request that was already done on this table.
This patch with the previous one should be backported to 1.4.
This is a generic health check which can be used to match a
banner or send a request and analyse a server response.
It works in a send/expect ways and many exchange can be done between
HAProxy and a server to decide the server status, making HAProxy able to
speak the server's protocol.
It can send arbitrary regular or binary strings and match content as a
regular or binary string or a regex.

We handle "http-request redirect" with a log-format string now, but we
leave "redirect" unaffected.
Note that the control of the special "/" case is move from the runtime
execution to the configuration parsing. If the format rule list is
empty, the build_logline() function does nothing.
At the moment when a '%' character is followed by any unhandled character,
it is considered as a variable name, and if it cannot be resolved, a warning
is emitted and the configuration goes on.
When we start using log-format for redirect rules, it may happen that some
people accidently use '%' instead of '%%' without understanding the cause
of the issue. Thus we do two things here :
- if a single '%' is followed by a blank or a digit, we fix it and emit a
warning explaining how this should be done ; this ensures that existing
configs continue to work ;
- if a single '%' is followed by an unknown variable name, we report it
and explain how to emit a verbatim '%' in case this is what the user
desired.
Add a new converter with the following prototype :
map(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>_<output_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
It searches the for input value from <map_file> using the <match_type>
matching method, and return the associated value converted to the type
<output_type>. If the input value cannot be found in the <map_file>,
the converter returns the <default_value>. If the <default_value> is
not set, the converter fails and acts as if no input value could be
fetched. If the <match_type> is not set, it defaults to "str".
Likewise, if the <output_type> is not set, it defaults to "str". For
convenience, the "map" keyword is an alias for "map_str" and maps a
string to another string. The following array contains contains the
list of all the map* converters.

The names are intentionally chosen to reflect the same match methods
as ACLs use.
We've had the feature for log-format, unique-id-format and add-header for
a while now. It has just been implemented for ACLs but some doc was still
lacking.
The syntax of this new commands are:
enable agent <backend>/<server>
disable agent <backend>/<server>
These commands allow temporarily stopping and subsequently
re-starting an auxiliary agent check. The effect of this is as follows:
New checks are only initialised when the agent is in the enabled. Thus,
disable agent will prevent any new agent checks from begin initiated until
the agent re-enabled using enable agent.
When an agent is disabled the processing of an auxiliary agent check that
was initiated while the agent was set as enabled is as follows: All
results that would alter the weight, specifically "drain" or a weight
returned by the agent, are ignored. The processing of agent check is
otherwise unchanged.
The motivation for this feature is to allow the weight changing effects
of the agent checks to be paused to allow the weight of a server to be
configured using set weight without being overridden by the agent.

In the case where agent-port is used and the agent
check is a secondary check to not mark a server as down
if the agent becomes unavailable.
In this configuration the agent should only cause a server to be marked
as down if the agent returns "fail", "stopped" or "down".

Allow an auxiliary agent check to be run independently of the
regular a regular health check. This is enabled by the agent-check
server setting.
The agent-port, which specifies the TCP port to use for the agent's
connections, is required.
The agent-inter, which specifies the interval between agent checks and
timeout of agent checks, is optional. If not set the value for regular
checks is used.
e.g.
server web1_1 127.0.0.1:80 check agent-port 10000
If either the health or agent check determines that a server is down
then it is marked as being down, otherwise it is marked as being up.
An agent health check performed by opening a TCP socket and reading an
ASCII string. The string should have one of the following forms:
* An ASCII representation of an positive integer percentage.
e.g. "75%"
Values in this format will set the weight proportional to the initial
weight of a server as configured when haproxy starts.
* The string "drain".
This will cause the weight of a server to be set to 0, and thus it
will not accept any new connections other than those that are
accepted via persistence.
* The string "down", optionally followed by a description string.
Mark the server as down and log the description string as the reason.
* The string "stopped", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".
* The string "fail", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as "down".

Remove option lb-agent-chk and thus the facility to configure
a stand-alone agent health check. This feature was added by
"MEDIUM: checks: Add agent health check". It will be replaced
by subsequent patches with a features to allow an agent check
to be run as either a secondary check, along with any of the existing
checks, or as part of an http check with the status returned
in an HTTP header.
This patch does not entirely revert "MEDIUM: checks: Add agent health

Summary:
Added a document for hashing under internal docs explaining
hashing in haproxy along with the results of tests under the test
folder.
These documents together explain the motivation for adding
options for hashing algorithms with the option of enabling or
disabling of avalanche.
This function was designed for haproxy while testing other functions
in the past. Initially it was not planned to be used given the not
very interesting numbers it showed on real URL data : it is not as
smooth as the other ones. But later tests showed that the other ones
are extremely sensible to the server count and the type of input data,
especially DJB2 which must not be used on numeric input. So in fact
this function is still a generally average performer and it can make
sense to merge it in the end, as it can provide an alternative to
sdbm+avalanche or djb2+avalanche for consistent hashing or when hashing
on numeric data such as a source IP address or a visitor identifier in
a URL parameter.
Summary:
Avalanche is supported not as a native hashing choice, but a modifier
on the hashing function. Note that this means that possible configs
written after 1.5-dev4 using "hash-type avalanche" will get an informative
error instead. But as discussed on the mailing list it seems nobody ever
used it anyway, so let's fix it before the final 1.5 release.
The default values were selected for backward compatibility with previous
releases, as discussed on the mailing list, which means that the consistent
hashing will still apply the avalanche hash by default when no explicit
algorithm is specified.
Examples
(default) hash-type map-based
Map based hashing using sdbm without avalanche
(default) hash-type consistent
Consistent hashing using sdbm with avalanche
Additional Examples:
(a) hash-type map-based sdbm
Same as default for map-based above
(b) hash-type map-based sdbm avalanche
Map based hashing using sdbm with avalanche
(c) hash-type map-based djb2
Map based hashing using djb2 without avalanche
(d) hash-type map-based djb2 avalanche
Map based hashing using djb2 with avalanche
(e) hash-type consistent sdbm avalanche
Same as default for consistent above
(f) hash-type consistent sdbm
Consistent hashing using sdbm without avalanche
(g) hash-type consistent djb2
Consistent hashing using djb2 without avalanche
(h) hash-type consistent djb2 avalanche
Consistent hashing using djb2 with avalanche
Summary:
In testing at tumblr, we found that using djb2 hashing instead of the
default sdbm hashing resulted is better workload distribution to our backends.
This commit implements a change, that allows the user to specify the hash
function they want to use. It does not limit itself to consistent hashing
scenarios.
The supported hash functions are sdbm (default), and djb2.
For a discussion of the feature and analysis, see mailing list thread
"Consistent hashing alternative to sdbm" :
http://marc.info/?l=haproxy&m=138213693909219
Note: This change does NOT make changes to new features, for instance,
applying an avalance hashing always being performed before applying
consistent hashing.

This fetch method returns the response buffer len, similarly
to req.len for the request. Previously it was only possible
to rely on "res.payload(0,size) -m found" to find if at least
that amount of data was available, which was a bit tricky.
This new action immediately closes the connection with the server
when the condition is met. The first such rule executed ends the
rules evaluation. The main purpose of this action is to force a
connection to be finished between a client and a server after an
exchange when the application protocol expects some long time outs
to elapse first. The goal is to eliminate idle connections which
take signifiant resources on servers with certain protocols.
verifyhost allows you to specify a hostname that the remote server's
SSL certificate must match. Connections that don't match will be
closed with an SSL error.
When using req.payload and res.payload to look up for specific content at an
arbitrary location, we're often facing the problem of not knowing the input
buffer length. If the length argument is larger than the buffer length, the
function did not match, and if they're smaller, there is a risk of not getting
the expected content. This is especially true when looking for data in SOAP
requests.
So let's make some provisions for scanning the whole buffer by specifying a
length of 0 bytes. This greatly simplifies the processing of random-sized
input data.
The "set table" statement allows to create new entries with their respective
values. Till now it was limited to a single data type per line, requiring as
many "set table" statements as the desired data types to be set. Since this
is only a parser limitation, this patch gets rid of it. It also allows the
creation of a key with no data types (all reset to their default values).
sc_* sample fetches now take an optional parameter which allows to look
the key in an alternate table. This is convenient to pass multiple
information for the same key at once (eg: have multiple gpc0 for the
same key, or support being fed complementary information from the CLI).
Example :
listen front
bind :8000
tcp-request content track-sc0 src table local-ip
http-response set-header src-id %[sc0_get_gpc0]+%[sc0_get_gpc0(global-ip)]
server dummy 127.0.0.1:8001
backend local-ip
stick-table size 1k type ip store gpc0
backend global-ip
stick-table size 1k type ip store gpc0
One very annoying issue when trying to extend the sticky counters beyond
the current 3 counters is that it requires a massive copy-paste of fetch
functions (we don't have to copy-paste code anymore), just so that the
fetch names exist.
So let's have an alternate form like "sc_*(num)" to allow passing the
counter number as an argument without having to redefine new fetch names.
The MAX_SESS_STKCTR macro defines the number of usable sticky counters,
which defaults to 3.
Converts an integer supposed to contain a date since epoch to
a string representing this date in a format suitable for use
in HTTP header fields. If an offset value is specified, then
it is a number of seconds that is added to the date before the
conversion is operated. This is particularly useful to emit
Date header fields, Expires values in responses when combined
with a positive offset, or Last-Modified values when the
offset is negative.
Returns the current date as the epoch (number of seconds since 01/01/1970).
If an offset value is specified, then it is a number of seconds that is added
to the current date before returning the value. This is particularly useful
to compute relative dates, as both positive and negative offsets are allowed.
We now support having a comma-delimited converter list, which can start
right after the fetch keyword. The immediate benefit is that it allows
to use converters in log-format expressions, for example :
set-header source-net %[src,ipmask(24)]
The parser is also slightly improved and should be more resilient against
configuration errors. Also, optional arguments in converters were mistakenly
not allowed till now, so this was fixed.
The max weight of server is 256 now, but SRV_UWGHT_MAX is still 255. As a result,
FWRR will not work well when server's weight is 256. The description is as below:
There are some macros related to server's weight in include/types/server.h:
#define SRV_UWGHT_RANGE 256
#define SRV_UWGHT_MAX (SRV_UWGHT_RANGE - 1)
#define SRV_EWGHT_MAX (SRV_UWGHT_MAX * BE_WEIGHT_SCALE)
Since weight of server can be reach to 256 and BE_WEIGHT_SCALE equals to 16,
the max eweight of server should be 256*16 = 4096, it will exceed SRV_EWGHT_MAX
which equals to SRV_UWGHT_MAX*BE_WEIGHT_SCALE = 255*16 = 4080. When a server
with weight 256 is insterted into FWRR tree during initialization, the key value
of this server should be SRV_EWGHT_MAX - s->eweight = 4080 - 4096 = -16 which
is closed to UINT_MAX in unsigned type, so the server with highest weight will
be not elected as the first server to process request.
In addition, it is a better choice to compare with SRV_UWGHT_MAX than a magic
number 256 while doing check for the weight. The max number of servers for
round-robin algorithm is also updated.

s->req->prod->conn->addr.to.ss_family contains only useful data if
conn_get_to_addr() is called early. If thats not the case (nothing in the
configuration needs the destination address like logs, transparent, ...)
then "set-tos" doesn't work.
Fix this by checking s->req->prod->conn->addr.from.ss_family instead.
Also fix a minor doc issue about set-tos in http-response.

It was a bit inconsistent to have gpc start at 0 and sc start at 1,
so make sc start at zero like gpc. No previous release was issued
with sc3 anyway, so no existing setup should be affected.
This is useful in order to take different actions across restarts without
touching the configuration (eg: soft-stop), or to pass some information
such as the local host name to the next hop.
The split between ACL and sample fetch was a terrible mess in the doc,
as it caused all entries to be duplicated with most of them not easy to
find, some missing and some wrong.
The new approach consists in describing the sample fetch methods and
indicating the ACLs that are derived from these fetches. The doc is
much smaller (1500 lines added, 2200 removed, net gain = 700 lines)
and much clearer.
The description of the ACL mechanics was revamped to take account of
the latest evolutions and clearly describe the compatibility between
types of fetches and ACL patterns.
The deprecated keywords have been marked as such, though they still
appear in the examples given for various other keywords.
This configures the client-facing connection to receive a PROXY protocol
header before any byte is read from the socket. This is equivalent to
having the "accept-proxy" keyword on the "bind" line, except that using
the TCP rule allows the PROXY protocol to be accepted only for certain
IP address ranges using an ACL. This is convenient when multiple layers
of load balancers are passed through by traffic coming from public
hosts.
"set-mark" is used to set the Netfilter MARK on all packets sent to the
client to the value passed in <mark> on platforms which support it. This
value is an unsigned 32 bit value which can be matched by netfilter and
by the routing table. It can be expressed both in decimal or hexadecimal
format (prefixed by "0x"). This can be useful to force certain packets to
take a different route (for example a cheaper network path for bulk
downloads). This works on Linux kernels 2.6.32 and above and requires
admin privileges.
This manipulates the TOS field of the IP header of outgoing packets sent
to the client. This can be used to set a specific DSCP traffic class based
on some request or response information. See RFC2474, 2597, 3260 and 4594
for more information.
Some users want to disable logging for certain non-important requests such as
stats requests or health-checks coming from another equipment. Other users want
to log with a higher importance (eg: notice) some special traffic (POST requests,
authenticated requests, requests coming from suspicious IPs) or some abnormally
large responses.
This patch responds to all these needs at once by adding a "set-log-level" action
to http-request/http-response. The 8 syslog levels are supported, as well as "silent"
to disable logging.
Some actions were clearly missing to process response headers. This
patch adds a new "http-response" ruleset which provides the following
actions :
- allow : stop evaluating http-response rules
- deny : stop and reject the response with a 502
- add-header : add a header in log-format mode
- set-header : set a header in log-format mode
The req.hdr and res.hdr fetch methods do not work well on headers which
are allowed to contain commas, such as User-Agent, Date or Expires.
More specifically, full-length matching is impossible if a comma is
present.
This patch introduces 4 new fetch functions which are designed to work
with these full-length headers :
- req.fhdr, req.fhdr_cnt
- res.fhdr, res.fhdr_cnt
These ones do not stop at commas and permit to return full-length header
values.
People who use "option dontlog-normal" are bothered with redirects and
stats being logged and reported as errors in the logs ("PR" = proxy
blocked the request).
This patch introduces a new flag 'L' for when a request is locally
processed, that is not considered as an error by the log filters. That
way we know a request was intercepted and processed by haproxy without
logging the line when "option dontlog-normal" is in effect.
We're often missin a third counter to track base, src and base+src at
the same time. Here we introduce track_sc3 to have this third counter.
It would be wise not to add much more counters because that slightly
increases the session size and processing time though the real issue
is more the declaration of the keywords in the code and in the doc.
This new pattern fetch returns the client certificate's SHA-1 fingerprint
(i.e. SHA-1 hash of DER-encoded certificate) in a binary chunk.
This can be useful to pass it to a server in a header or to stick a client
to a server across multiple SSL connections.
Improve the crt-list file format to allow a rule to negate a certain SNI :
<crtfile> [[!]<snifilter> ...]
This can be useful when a domain supports a wildcard but you don't want to
deliver the wildcard cert for certain specific domains.
Implements the "res.comp" ACL which is a boolean returning 1 when a
response has been compressed by HAProxy or 0 otherwise.
Implements the "res.comp_algo" fetch which contains the name of the
algorithm HAProxy used to compress the response.

The ALPN extension is meant to replace the now deprecated NPN extension.
This patch implements support for it. It requires a version of openssl
with support for this extension. Patches are available here right now :
http://html5labs.interopbridges.com/media/167447/alpn_patches.zip
Now it becomes possible to directly use sample fetches as the ACL fetch
methods. In this case, the matching method is mandatory. This allows to
form more ACL combinations from existing fetches and will limit the need
for new ACLs when everything is available to form them from sample fetches
and matches.
ACL expressions now support "-m" in addition to "-i" and "-f". This new
option is followed by the name of the pattern matching method to be used
on the extracted pattern. This makes it possible to reuse existing sample
fetch methods with other matching methods (eg: regex). A "found" matching
method ignores any pattern and only verifies that the required sample was
found (useful for cookies).
Similarly to previous commit fixing "hdr" and "cookie" in HTTP, we have to deal
with "payload" and "payload_lv" which are request-only for ACLs and req/resp for
sample fetches depending on the context, and to a less extent with other req_*
and rep_*/rep_* fetches. So let's add explicit "req." and "res." variants and
make the ACLs rely on that instead.
Since "hdr" and "cookie" were ambiguously referring to the request or response
depending on the context, we need a way to explicitly specify the direction.
By prefixing the fetches names with "req." and "res.", we can now restrict such
fetches to the appropriate direction. At the moment the fetches are explicitly
declared by later we might think about having an automatic match when "req." or
"res." appears. These explicit fetches are now used by the relevant ACLs.
The following sample fetch functions were only usable by ACLs but are now
usable by sample fetches too :
cook, cook_cnt, cook_val, hdr_cnt, hdr_ip, hdr_val, http_auth,
http_auth_group, http_first_req, method, req_proto_http, req_ver,
resp_ver, scook, scook_cnt, scook_val, shdr, shdr_cnt, shdr_ip,
shdr_val, status, urlp, urlp_val,
Most of them won't bring much benefit at the moment, or are even aliases of
existing ones, however they'll be needed for ACL->SMP convergence.
A new val_usr() function was added to resolve userlist names into pointers.
The http_auth_group ACL forgot to make its first argument mandatory, so
there was a check in cfgparse to report a vague error. Now that args are
correctly parsed, let's report something more precise.
All urlp* ACLs now support an optional 3rd argument like their sample
counter-part which is the optional delimiter.
The fetch functions have been renamed "smp_fetch_*".
Some args controls on the sample keywords have been relaxed so that we
can soon use them for ACLs :
- cookie now accepts to have an optional name ; it will return the
first matching cookie if the name is not set ;
- same for set-cookie and hdr
The following sample fetch functions were only usable by ACLs but are now
usable by sample fetches too :
dst_conn, so_id,
The fetch functions have been renamed "smp_fetch_*".
The following sample fetch functions were only usable by ACLs but are now
usable by sample fetches too :
fe_conn, fe_id, fe_sess_rate
The fetch functions have been renamed "smp_fetch_*".
The following sample fetch functions were only usable by ACLs but are now
usable by sample fetches too :
avg_queue, be_conn, be_id, be_sess_rate, connslots, nbsrv,
queue, srv_conn, srv_id, srv_is_up, srv_sess_rate
The fetch functions have been renamed "smp_fetch_*".
The file acl.c is a real mess, it both contains functions to parse and
process ACLs, and some sample extraction functions which act on buffers.
Some other payload analysers were arbitrarily dispatched to proto_tcp.c.
So now we're moving all payload-based fetches and ACLs to payload.c
which is capable of extracting data from buffers and rely on everything
that is protocol-independant. That way we can safely inflate this file
and only use the other ones when some fetches are really specific (eg:
HTTP, SSL, ...).
As a result of this cleanup, the following new sample fetches became
available even if they're not really useful :
always_false, always_true, rep_ssl_hello_type, rdp_cookie_cnt,
req_len, req_ssl_hello_type, req_ssl_sni, req_ssl_ver, wait_end
The function 'acl_fetch_nothing' was wrong and never used anywhere so it
was removed.
The "rdp_cookie" sample fetch used to have a mandatory argument while it
was optional in ACLs, which are supposed to iterate over RDP cookies. So
we're making it optional as a fetch too, and it will return the first one.
TCP Fast Open is supported in server mode since Linux 3.7, but current
libc's don't define TCP_FASTOPEN=23. Introduce the new USE flag USE_TFO
to define it manually in compat.h. Also note this in the TFO related
documentation.
fe61656b added the ability to load a list of certificates from a file,
but error control was incomplete and misleading, as some errors such
as missing files were not reported, and errors reported with Alert()
instead of memprintf() were inappropriate and mixed with upper errors.
Also, the code really supports a single SNI filter right now, so let's
correct it and the doc for that, leaving room for later change if needed.
It designates a list of PEM file with an optional list of SNI filter
per certificate, with the following format for each line :
<crtfile>[ <snifilter>]*
Wildcards are supported in the SNI filter. The certificates will be
presented to clients who provide a valid TLS Server Name Indication
field matching one of SNI filter. If no SNI filter is specified the
CN and alt subjects are used.
This change makes the "crt" block of the documentation easier to use
for those not clear on what needs to go in what file, specifically for
those using CAs that require intermediate certificates.
Now that all addresses are parsed using str2sa_range(), it becomes easy
to add support for environment variables and use them everywhere an address
is needed. Environment variables are used as $VAR or ${VAR} as in shell.
Any number of variables may compose an address, allowing various fantasies
such as "fd@${FD_HTTP}" or "${LAN_DC1}.1:80".
These ones are usable in logs, bind, servers, peers, stats socket, source,
dispatch, and check address.
Using the address syntax "fd@<num>", a listener may inherit a file
descriptor that the caller process has already bound and passed as
this number. The fd's socket family is detected using getsockname(),
and the usual initialization is performed through the existing code
for that family, but the socket creation is skipped.
Whether the parent has performed the listen() call or not is not
important as this is detected.
For UNIX sockets, we immediately clear the path after preparing a
socket so that we never remove it in case an abort would happen due
to a late error during startup.
This change allows one to force the address family in any address parsed
by str2sa_range() by specifying it as a prefix followed by '@' then the
address. Currently supported address prefixes are 'ipv4@', 'ipv6@', 'unix@'.
This also helps forcing resolving for host names (when getaddrinfo is used),
and force the family of the empty address (eg: 'ipv4@' = 0.0.0.0 while
'ipv6@' = ::).
The main benefits is that unix sockets can now get a local name without
being forced to begin with a slash. This is useful during development as
it is no longer necessary to have stats socket sent to /tmp.
Add new tunable "tune.ssl.maxrecord".
Over SSL/TLS, the client can decipher the data only once it has received
a full record. With large records, it means that clients might have to
download up to 16kB of data before starting to process them. Limiting the
record size can improve page load times on browsers located over high
latency or low bandwidth networks. It is suggested to find optimal values
which fit into 1 or 2 TCP segments (generally 1448 bytes over Ethernet
with TCP timestamps enabled, or 1460 when timestamps are disabled), keeping
in mind that SSL/TLS add some overhead. Typical values of 1419 and 2859
gave good results during tests. Use "strace -e trace=write" to find the
best value.
This trick was first suggested by Mike Belshe :
http://www.belshe.com/2010/12/17/performance-and-the-tls-record-size/
Then requested again by Ilya Grigorik who provides some hints here :
http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449344764/_transport_layer_security_tls.html#ch04_00000101
Support for server side TFO was actually introduced in linux-3.7,
linux-3.6 just has client support.
This patch fixes documentation and a code comment about the
kernel requirement. It also fixes a wrong tfo related code
comment in src/proto_tcp.c.
Support a agent health check performed by opening a TCP socket to a
pre-defined port and reading an ASCII string. The string should have one of
the following forms:
* An ASCII representation of an positive integer percentage.
e.g. "75%"
Values in this format will set the weight proportional to the initial
weight of a server as configured when haproxy starts.
* The string "drain".
This will cause the weight of a server to be set to 0, and thus it will
not accept any new connections other than those that are accepted via
persistence.
* The string "down", optionally followed by a description string.
Mark the server as down and log the description string as the reason.
* The string "stopped", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as down (iii).
* The string "fail", optionally followed by a description string.
This currently has the same behaviour as down (iii).
A agent health check may be configured using "option lb-agent-chk".
The use of an alternate check-port, used to obtain agent heath check
information described above as opposed to the port of the service,
may be useful in conjunction with this option.
e.g.
option lb-agent-chk
server http1_1 10.0.0.10:80 check port 10000 weight 100

Allow relative weights greater than 100%,
capping the absolute value to 256 which is
the largest supported absolute weight.

This patch adds a new option "-Ds" which is exactly like "-D", but instead of
forking n times to get n jobs running and then exiting, prefers to wait for all the
children it just created. With this done, haproxy becomes more systemd-compliant,
without changing anything for other systems.
Signed-off-by: Marc-Antoine Perennou <Marc-Antoine@Perennou.com>
The current documentation of the bind option "interface" can be misleading
(as seen on the ML recently).
This patch tries to address misunderstandings by :
- avoiding the words listen or bind in the behavior description, using
"restrict to interface" instead
- using a different sentence construction (partially stolen from
"man 7 socket": SO_BINDTODEVICE)
- "defragmentation": moving behavior related explanations to the beginning
and restrictions, use-cases and requirements to the end.
This new option ensures that there is no possible fallback to a default
certificate if the client does not provide an SNI which is explicitly
handled by a certificate.
Without it, haproxy will retain the group membership of root, which may
give more access than intended to the process. For example, haproxy would
still be in the wheel group on Fedora 18, as seen with :
# haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
# ps a -o pid,user,group,command | grep hapr
3545 haproxy haproxy haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
4356 root root grep --color=auto hapr
# grep Group /proc/3545/status
Groups: 0 1 2 3 4 6 10
# getent group wheel
wheelâŒ10:root,misc
[WT: The issue has been investigated by independent security research team
and realized by itself not being able to allow security exploitation.
Additionally, dropping groups is not allowed to unprivileged users,
though this mode of deployment is quite common. Thus a warning is
emitted in this case to inform the user. The fix could be backported
into all supported versions as the issue has always been there. ]
The doc pretends that src_inc_gpc0 may be used alone without an integer
match, but this is false and has always been since its introduction in
1.5-dev1. If the ACL is called, the increment will be used, the value
returned, but it will be matched against no value so the resulting ACL
will never be true and the condition will not be met.
This means that the following config :
acl abuser src -f abusers.lst
acl blacklist src_inc_gpc0
tcp-request connection reject if abuser blacklist
Will never reject the connection and must be fixed this way :
acl abuser src -f abusers.lst
acl blacklist src_inc_gpc0 gt 0
tcp-request connection reject if abuser blacklist
Note that clr_gpc0 is trickier, as it returns the previous value which
might also be zero. Thus it's suggested to compare it against any positive
value including zero :
tcp-request connection accept if { src_clr_gpc0 ge 0 }
Some arguments were missing on the sc1/sc2 forms of most ACLs including
gpc0, so this has been fixed too.
Released version 1.5-dev17 with the following main changes :
- MINOR: ssl: Setting global tune.ssl.cachesize value to 0 disables SSL session cache.
- BUG/MEDIUM: stats: fix stats page regression introduced by commit 20b0de5
- BUG/MINOR: stats: last fix was still wrong
- BUG/MINOR: stats: http-request rules still don't cope with stats
- BUG/MINOR: http: http-request add-header emits a corrupted header
- BUG/MEDIUM: stats: disable request analyser when processing POST or HEAD
- BUG/MINOR: log: make log-format, unique-id-format and add-header more independant
- BUILD: log: unused variable svid
- CLEANUP: http: rename the misleading http_check_access_rule
- MINOR: http: move redirect rule processing to its own function
- REORG: config: move the http redirect rule parser to proto_http.c
- MEDIUM: http: add support for "http-request redirect" rules
- MEDIUM: http: add support for "http-request tarpit" rule
The "reqtarpit" rule is not very handy to use. Now that we have more
flexibility with "http-request", let's finally make the tarpit rules
usable there.
There are still semantical differences between apply_filters_to_request()
and http_req_get_intercept_rule() because the former updates the counters
while the latter does not. So we currently have almost similar code leafs
for similar conditions, but this should be cleaned up later.
These are exactly the same as the classic redirect rules except
that they can be interleaved with other http-request rules for
more flexibility.
The redirect parser should probably be changed to stop at the condition
so that the caller puts its own condition pointer. At the moment, the
redirect rule and condition are parsed at once by build_redirect_rule()
and the condition is assigned to the http_req_rule.
Released version 1.5-dev16 with the following main changes :

These two new statements allow to pass information extracted from the request
to the server. It's particularly useful for passing SSL information to the
server, but may be used for various other purposes such as combining headers
together to emulate internal variables.
Using %[expression] it becomes possible to make the log engine fetch
some samples from the request or the response and provide them in the
logs. Note that this feature is still limited, it does not yet allow
to apply converters, to limit the output length, nor to specify the
direction which should be fetched when a fetch function works in both
directions.
However it's quite convenient to log SSL information or to include some
information that are used in stick tables.
It is worth noting that this has been done in the generic log format
handler, which means that the same information may be used to build the
unique-id header and to pass the information to a backend server.
Some log tokens have evolved in a way that is not completely logical.
For example, frontend tokens sometimes begin with an 'f' and sometimes
with an 'F'. Same for backend and server.
So let's change a few cases without disrupting compatibility with existing
setups :
Bi => bi
Bp => bp
Ci => ci
Cp => cp
Fi => fi
Fp => fp
Si => si
Sp => sp
cc => CC
cs => CS
st => ST
The old ones are still supported but deprecated and will be unsupported by
the 1.5 release. However, a warning message is emitted when they're encounterd
and it indicates what token should be used to replace them.

- DOC: add some clarifications to the readme
This returns the concatenation of the base32 fetch and the src fetch.
The resulting type is of type binary, with a size of 8 or 20 bytes
depending on the source address family. This can be used to track
per-IP, per-URL counters.
This returns a 32-bit hash of the value returned by the "base"
fetch method above. This is useful to track per-URL activity on
high traffic sites without having to store all URLs. Instead a
shorter hash is stored, saving a lot of memory. The output type
is an unsigned integer.
Returns the current amount of concurrent connections tracking the same
tracked counters. This number is automatically incremented when tracking
begins and decremented when tracking stops. It differs from sc1_conn_cur in
that it does not rely on any stored information but on the table's reference
count (the "use" value which is returned by "show table" on the CLI). This
may sometimes be more suited for layer7 tracking.
Until now it was only possible to use track-sc1/sc2 with "src" which
is the IPv4 source address. Now we can use track-sc1/sc2 with any fetch
as well as any transformation type. It works just like the "stick"
directive.
Samples are automatically converted to the correct types for the table.
Only "tcp-request content" rules may use L7 information, and such information
must already be present when the tracking is set up. For example it becomes
possible to track the IP address passed in the X-Forwarded-For header.
HTTP request processing now also considers tracking from backend rules
because we want to be able to update the counters even when the request
was already parsed and tracked.
Some more controls need to be performed (eg: samples do not distinguish
between L4 and L6).
Considering there is no option yet for maxconnrate for servers, I wrote
an ACL to check a backend server session rate which we use to send to an
"overflow" backend to prevent latency responses to our clients (very
sensitive latency requirements).
Sessions using client certs are huge (more than 1 kB) and do not fit
in session cache, or require a huge cache.
In this new implementation sshcachesize set a number of available blocks
instead a number of available sessions.
Each block is large enough (128 bytes) to store a simple session (without
client certs).
Huge sessions will take multiple blocks depending on client certificate size.
Note: some unused code for session sync with remote peers was temporarily
removed.
The compression is disabled when the HTTP status code is not 200, indeed
compression on some HTTP code can create issues (ex: 206, 416).
Multipart message should not be compressed eitherway.

- MINOR: cli: add support for the "show sess all" command
- BUG/MAJOR: cli: show sess <id> may randomly corrupt the back-ref list
- MINOR: cli: improve output format for show sess $ptr
Sometimes when debugging haproxy, it is important to take a full
snapshot of all sessions and their respective states. Till now it
was complicated to do because we had to use scripts and sessions
would vanish between two runs.
Now with this command we have the same output as "show sess $id"
but for all sessions in the table. This is a debugging command only,
it should only be used by developers as it is never guaranteed to
perfectly work !
Commit 9b6700f added "v6only". As suggested by Vincent Bernat, it is
sometimes useful to have the opposite option to force binding to the
two protocols when the system is configured to bind to v6 only by
default. This option does exactly this. v6only still has precedence.

It was a bit frustrating to have no idea about the bandwidth saved by
HTTP compression. Now we have per-frontend and per-backend stats. The
stats on the HTTP interface are shown in a hover title in the "bytes out"
column if at least something was fed to the compressor. 3 new columns
appeared in the CSV stats output.
It's been documented for a very long time that captured HTTP headers
were limited to 64 characters, but this has not the case anymore since
1.3.11 in 2007 (commit cf7f320f), as they all use their own pool and
have no such limit anymore.
This fix should be backported to 1.4 and 1.3.
Some users need more than 64 characters to log large cookies. The limit
was set to 63 characters (and not 64 as previously documented). Now it
is possible to change this using the global "tune.http.cookielen" setting
if required.
Since commit it is said that only the first value of the first occurrence
of a header is captured. This is wrong. Since the introduction of header
captures in version 1.1 in 2005 (commit e983144d), the WHOLE line of the
LAST occurrence has been captured and the behaviour has never changed.
At this time the doc was correct. The error was introduced in the new doc
in 1.3.14 in 2007 (commit 0ba27505).
So this fix should be backported to 1.4 and 1.3.
New option 'maxcompcpuusage' in global section.
Sets the maximum CPU usage HAProxy can reach before stopping the
compression for new requests or decreasing the compression level of
current requests. It works like 'maxcomprate' but with the Idle.
global.tune.maxaccept was used for all listeners. This becomes really not
convenient when some listeners are bound to a single process and other ones
are bound to many processes.
Now we change the principle : we count the number of processes a listener
is bound to, and apply the maxaccept either entirely if there is a single
process, or divided by twice the number of processes in order to maintain
fairness.
The default limit has also been increased from 32 to 64 as it appeared that
on small machines, 32 was too low to achieve high connection rates.
The doc updates covers the following points :
- description of protocol version 2
- discourage emission of UNKNOWN and encourage it acceptance
- clarify that each header must fit in an MSS and be sent at once
- provide an example of receiver code that explains how to use MSG_PEEK.
The new "cpu-map" directive allows one to assign the CPU sets that
a process is allowed to bind to. This is useful in combination with
the "nbproc" and "bind-process" directives.
The support is implicit on Linux 2.6.28 and above.
Now that all pollers make use of speculative I/O, there is no point
having two epoll implementations, so replace epoll with the sepoll code
and remove sepoll which has just become the standard epoll method.
commit 82fe75c1 provided useful details in its log message. We should report
part of them in the documentation to know which algorithms are available.
This patch also makes some formatting cleanups (including a line outside the
compression scope, which exceeded 80 chars).
This patch adds input and output rate calcutation on the HTTP compresion
feature.
Compression can be limited with a maximum rate value in kilobytes per
second. The rate is set with the global 'maxcomprate' option. You can
change this value dynamicaly with 'set rate-limit http-compression
global' on the UNIX socket.
With the global maxzlibmem option, you are able ton control the maximum
amount of RAM usable for HTTP compression.
A test is done before each zlib allocation, if the there isn't available
memory, the test fail and so the zlib initialization, so data won't be
compressed.
The window size and the memlevel of the zlib are now configurable using
global options tune.zlib.memlevel and tune.zlib.windowsize.
It affects the memory consumption of the zlib.

This commit introduces HTTP compression using the zlib library.
http_response_forward_body has been modified to call the compression
functions.
This feature includes 3 algorithms: identity, gzip and deflate:
* identity: this is mostly for debugging, and it was useful for
developping the compression feature. With Content-Length in input, it
is making each chunk with the data available in the current buffer.
With chunks in input, it is rechunking, the output chunks will be
bigger or smaller depending of the size of the input chunk and the
size of the buffer. Identity does not apply any change on data.
* gzip: same as identity, but applying a gzip compression. The data
are deflated using the Z_NO_FLUSH flag in zlib. When there is no more
data in the input buffer, it flushes the data in the output buffer
(Z_SYNC_FLUSH). At the end of data, when it receives the last chunk in
input, or when there is no more data to read, it writes the end of
data with Z_FINISH and the ending chunk.
* deflate: same as gzip, but with deflate algorithm and zlib format.
Note that this algorithm has ambiguous support on many browsers and
no support at all from recent ones. It is strongly recommended not
to use it for anything else than experimentation.
You can't choose the compression ratio at the moment, it will be set to
Z_BEST_SPEED (1), as tests have shown very little benefit in terms of
compression ration when going above for HTML contents, at the cost of
a massive CPU impact.
Compression will be activated depending of the Accept-Encoding request
header. With identity, it does not take care of that header.
To build HAProxy with zlib support, use USE_ZLIB=1 in the make
parameters.
This work was initially started by David Du Colombier at Exceliance.
Using "stats bind-process", it becomes possible to indicate to haproxy which
process will get the incoming connections to the stats socket. It will also
shut down the warning when nbproc > 1.
Please consider the following patch for configuration.txt to clarify meaning
of bufsize, maxrewrite and the size of HTTP request which can be processed.
The ssl_npn match could not work by itself because clients do not use
the NPN extension unless the server advertises the protocols it supports.
Thanks to Simone Bordet for the explanations on how to get it right.
These two new log-format tags report the SSL protocol version (%sslv) and the
SSL ciphers (%sslc) used for the connection with the client. For instance, to
append these information just after the client's IP/port address information
on an HTTP log line, use the following configuration :
log-format %Ci:%Cp\ %sslv:%sslc\ [%t]\ %ft\ %b/%s\ %Tq/%Tw/%Tc/%Tr/%Tt\ %st\ %B\ %cc\ \ %cs\ %tsc\ %ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc\ %sq/%bq\ %hr\ %hs\ %{+Q}r
It will report a line such as the following one :
Oct 12 20:47:30 haproxy[9643]: 127.0.0.1:43602 TLSv1:AES-SHA [12/Oct/2012:20:47:30.303] stick2~ stick2/s1 7/0/12/0/19 200 145 - - ---- 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 "GET /?t=0 HTTP/1.0"
Until now it was not possible to know from the logs whether the incoming
connection was made over SSL or not. In order to address this in the existing
log formats, a new log format %ft was introduced, to log the frontend's name
suffixed with its transport layer. The only transport layer in use right now
is '~' for SSL, so that existing log formats for non-SSL traffic are not
affected at all, and SSL log formats have the frontend's name suffixed with
'~'.
The TCP, HTTP and CLF log format now use %ft instead of %f. This does not
affect existing log formats which still make use of %f however.
It now becomes possible to verify the server's certificate using the "verify"
directive. This one only supports "none" and "required", as it does not make
much sense to also support "optional" here.
When health checks are configured on a server which has the send-proxy
directive and no "port" nor "addr" settings, the health check connections
will automatically use the PROXY protocol. If "port" or "addr" are set,
the "check-send-proxy" directive may be used to force the protocol.
While working on the changes required to make the health checks use the
new connections, it started to become obvious that some naming was not
logical at all in the connections. Specifically, it is not logical to
call the "data layer" the layer which is in charge for all the handshake
and which does not yet provide a data layer once established until a
session has allocated all the required buffers.
In fact, it's more a transport layer, which makes much more sense. The
transport layer offers a medium on which data can transit, and it offers
the functions to move these data when the upper layer requests this. And
it is the upper layer which iterates over the transport layer's functions
to move data which should be called the data layer.
The use case where it's obvious is with embryonic sessions : an incoming
SSL connection is accepted. Only the connection is allocated, not the
buffers nor stream interface, etc... The connection handles the SSL
handshake by itself. Once this handshake is complete, we can't use the
data functions because the buffers and stream interface are not there
yet. Hence we have to first call a specific function to complete the
session initialization, after which we'll be able to use the data
functions. This clearly proves that SSL here is only a transport layer
and that the stream interface constitutes the data layer.
A similar change will be performed to rename app_cb => data, but the
two could not be in the same commit for obvious reasons.
Disables the stateless session resumption (RFC 5077 TLS Ticket
extension) and force to use stateful session resumption. Stateless
session resumption is more expensive in CPU usage.
