The new parser uses an FSM to strictly follow RFC2616.
Headers are indexed and parsed only once they're all available.
That way, complex regexes make more sense.
HTTP processing is now performed in several phases by calling
multiple functions, making the code cleaner and easier to read.
Note that req[i]pass does not work anymore because it would
require that we mark a header to be ignored. What is really
needed is to have the ability to add an exception to a matching
(match xx except yy).
Several bugs have been fixed in appsession during the conversion
to the new FSM (method length and recovery on malloc errors).
The code does build and work with the debug examples, but is
not usable yet to connect to anything as it does not forward
the requests yet.
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.
The references to the proxy from the session have been turned into
Frontend (fe), Filters (fi) and Backend (be). This should ease the
migration to the L7 switching features. Next step will be to kill
the struct proxy and have 3 independant structs instead, each
referenced from entities called listener, frontend, filters and
backend.
The timeouts, expiration timers and results are now stored in the buffers.
The timers will have to change a bit to become more flexible, and when the
I/O completion functions will be written, the connect_complete() will have
to be extracted from the write() function.
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.
