The option 'http-tunnel' is deprecated and it was only used in the legacy HTTP
mode. So this option is now totally ignored and a warning is emitted during
HAProxy startup if it is found in a configuration file.
The old module proto_http does not exist anymore. All code dedicated to the HTTP
analysis is now grouped in the file proto_htx.c. So, to finish the polishing
after removing the legacy HTTP code, proto_htx.{c,h} files have been moved in
http_ana.{c,h} files.
In addition, all HTX analyzers and related functions prefixed with "htx_" have
been renamed to start with "http_" instead.
Many flags of the HTTP transction (TX_*) are now unused and useless. So the
flags TX_WAIT_CLEANUP, TX_HDR_CONN_*, TX_CON_CLO_SET and TX_CON_KAL_SET were
removed. Most of TX_CON_WANT_* were also removed. Only TX_CON_WANT_TUN has been
kept.
When an HTTP applet is initialized, it is useless to force server-close mode on
the HTTP transaction because the connection mode is now handled by muxes. In
HTX, during analysis, the flag TX_CON_WANT_CLO is set by default in
htx_wait_for_request(), and TX_CON_WANT_SCL is never tested anywere.
First of all, all legacy HTTP analyzers and all functions exclusively used by
them were removed. So the most of the functions in proto_http.{c,h} were
removed. Only functions to deal with the HTTP transaction have been kept. Then,
http_msg and hdr_idx modules were entirely removed. And finally the structure
http_msg was lightened of all its useless information about the legacy HTTP. The
structure hdr_ctx was also removed because unused now, just like unused states
in the enum h1_state. Note that the memory pool "hdr_idx" was removed and
"http_txn" is now smaller.
This commit breaks the compatibility with filters still relying on the legacy
HTTP code. The legacy callbacks were removed (http_data, http_chunk_trailers and
http_forward_data).
For now, the filters must still set the flag FLT_CFG_FL_HTX to be used on HTX
streams.
The part of the applet dealing with raw buffer was removed, for the HTTP part
only. So the old functions stats_send_http_headers() and
stats_send_http_redirect() were removed and replaced by the htx ones. The legacy
applet I/O handler was replaced by the htx one. And the parsing of POST data was
purged of the legacy HTTP code.
The legacy HTTP callbacks were removed (trace_http_data,
trace_http_chunk_trailers and trace_http_forward_data). And the loop on the HTTP
headers was updated to only handle HTX messages.
The legacy HTTP callbacks were removed (comp_http_data, comp_http_chunk_trailers
and comp_http_forward_data). Functions emitting compressed chunks of data for
the legacy HTTP mode were also removed. The state for the compression filter was
updated accordingly. The compression context and the algorigttm used to compress
data are the only useful information remaining.
The applet delivering cached objects based on the legacy HTTP code was removed
as the filter callback cache_store_http_forward_data(). And the action analyzing
the response coming from the server to store it in the cache or not was purged
of the legacy HTTP code.
The L7 loadbalancing algorithms are concerned (uri, url_param and hdr), the
"sni" parameter on the server line and the "source" parameter on the server line
when used with "use_src hdr_ip()".
This was only used for the legacy HTTP mode where the connection mode was
handled by the HTTP analyzers. In HTX, the function http_adjust_conn_mode() does
nothing. The connection mode is handled by the muxes.
To know if an upgrade from TCP to H1 must be performed, we now only need to know
if a non HTX stream is assigned to an HTTP backend. So we don't rely anymore on
the flag PR_O2_USE_HTX to handle such upgrades.
All streams created for an HTTP proxy must now use the HTX internal
resprentation. So, it is no more necessary to test the flag PR_O2_USE_HTX. It
means a stream is an HTX stream if the frontend is an HTTP proxy or if the
frontend multiplexer, if any, set the flag MX_FL_HTX.
Since the legacy HTTP mode is disbabled, all HTTP sample fetches work on HTX
streams. So it is safe to remove all code relying on HTTP legacy mode. Among
other things, the function smp_prefetch_http() was removed with the associated
macros CHECK_HTTP_MESSAGE_FIRST() and CHECK_HTTP_MESSAGE_FIRST_PERM().
Since the legacy HTTP mode is disabled, old HTTP analyzers do nothing but call
those of the HTX. So, it is safe to directly call HTX analyzers from
process_stream().
Since the legacy HTTP mode is disabled and no multiplexer relies on it anymore,
there is no reason to have 2 multiplexer protocols for the HTTP. So the protocol
PROTO_MODE_HTX was removed and all HTTP multiplexers use now PROTO_MODE_HTTP.
Because the h2 multiplexer only uses the HTX mode, following H2 functions were
removed :
* h2_prepare_h1_reqline
* h2_make_h1_request()
* h2_make_h1_trailers()
From this commit, the legacy HTTP mode is now definitely disabled. It is the
first commit of a long series to remove the legacy HTTP code. Now, all HTTP
processing is done using the HTX internal representation. Since the version 2.0,
It is the default mode. So now, it is no more possible to disable the HTX to
fallback on the legacy HTTP mode. If you still use "[no] option http-use-htx", a
warning will be emitted during HAProxy startup. Note the passthough multiplexer
is now only usable for TCP proxies.
Instead of using a array of (struct block), it is more natural and intuitive to
use an array of char. Indeed, not only (struct block) are stored in this array,
but also their payload.
<head> and <tail> fields are now signed 32-bits integers. For an empty HTX
message, these fields are set to -1. So the field <used> is now useless and can
safely be removed. To know if an HTX message is empty or not, we just compare
<head> against -1 (it also works with <tail>). The function htx_nbblks() has
been added to get the number of used blocks.
The TXN flag HTTP_MSGF_WAIT_CONN is now ignored on HTX streams. There is no
reason to not start to forward data in HTX. This is required for the legacy mode
and this was copied from it during the HTX development. But it is simply
useless.
The function hlua_txn_done() still relying, for the HTTP, on the legacy HTTP
mode. Now, for HTX streams, it calls the function htx_reply_and_close().
This patch must be backported to 2.0 and 1.9.
The function http_calc_maxage() was not updated to be HTX aware. So the header
"Cache-Control" on the response was never parsed to find "max-age" or "s-maxage"
values.
This patch must be backported to 2.0 and 1.9.
Since the HTX is the default mode for all proxies, HTTP and TCP, we must
initialize all HTX error messages for all HTX-aware proxies and not only for
HTTP ones. It is required to support HTTP upgrade for TCP proxies.
This patch must be backported to 2.0.
These sample fetches rely on the static fnuction get_http_auth(). For HTX
streams and TCP proxies, this last one gets its HTX message from the request's
channel. When called from an HTTP rule, There is no problem. Bu when called from
TCP rules for a TCP proxy, this buffer is a raw buffer not an HTX message. For
instance, using the following TCP rule leads to a crash :
tcp-request content accept if { http_auth(Users) }
To fix the bug, we must rely on the HTX message returned by the function
smp_prefetch_htx(). So now, the HTX message is passed as argument to the
function get_http_auth().
This patch must be backported to 2.0 and 1.9.
Because the infinite forward is HTX aware, it is useless to tinker with the
number of bytes really sent. This was fixed long ago for the H1 and forgotten to
do so for the H2.
