I found on an (old) AIX 5.1 machine that stdint.h didn't exist while
inttypes.h which is expected to include it does exist and provides the
desired functionalities.
As explained here, stdint being just a subset of inttypes for use in
freestanding environments, it's probably always OK to switch to inttypes
instead:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696799/basedefs/stdint.h.html
Also it's even clearer here in the autoconf doc :
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.61/html_node/Header-Portability.html
"The C99 standard says that inttypes.h includes stdint.h, so there's
no need to include stdint.h separately in a standard environment.
Some implementations have inttypes.h but not stdint.h (e.g., Solaris
7), but we don't know of any implementation that has stdint.h but not
inttypes.h"
When the connection is closed by HAProxy, the status code provided in the
DISCONNECT frame is lost. By retransmitting it in the agent's reply, we are sure
to have it in the SPOE logs.
This patch may be backported in 1.8.
The commit c4dcaff3 ("BUG/MEDIUM: spoe: Flags are not encoded in network order")
introduced an incompatibility with older agents. So the major version of the
SPOP is increased to make the situation unambiguous. And because before the fix,
the protocol is buggy, the support of the version 1.0 is removed to be sure to
not continue to support buggy agents.
The agents in the contrib folder (spoa_example, modsecurity and mod_defender)
are also updated to announce the SPOP version 2.0.
So, to be clear, from the patch, connections to agents announcing the SPOP
version 1.0 will be rejected.
This patch must be backported in 1.8.
Buf is unsigned, so nbargs will be negative for more then 127 args.
Note that I cant test this bug because I cant put sufficient args
on the configuration line. It is just detected reading code.
[wt: this can be backported to 1.8 & 1.7]
Being an external agent, it's confusing that it uses haproxy's internal
types and it seems to have encouraged other implementations to do so.
Let's completely remove any reference to struct sample and use the
native DATA types instead of converting to and from haproxy's sample
types.
The same buffer is used for a request and its response. So we need to be sure
to correctly reset info when the response is encoded. And here there was a
bug. The pointer on the end of the frame was not updated. So it was not
possible to encode a response bigger than the corresponding request.
These encoding functions does general stuff and can be used in
other context than spoe. This patch moves the function spoe_encode_varint
and spoe_decode_varint from spoe to common. It also remove the prefix spoe.
These functions will be used for encoding values in new binary sample fetch.
Now, when a payload is fragmented, the first frame must define the frame type
and the followings must use the special type SPOE_FRM_T_UNSET. This way, it is
easy to know if a fragment is the first one or not. Of course, all frames must
still share the same stream-id and frame-id.
Update SPOA example accordingly.
If an agent want to abort the processing a fragmented NOTIFY frame before
receiving all fragments, it can send an ACK frame at any time with ABORT bit set
(and of course, the FIN bit too).
Beside this change, SPOE_FRM_ERR_FRAMEID_NOTFOUND error flag has been added. It
is set when a unknown ACK frame is received.
Now, we can use the option '-c' to enable the support of a capability. By
default, all capabilities are disabled. For example:
$> ./spoa -c async -c pipelining
In addition, it is also possible to set the maximum frame size supported by your
agent (-m) and to add a delay in frames processing (-t).
A new "option spop-check" statement has been added to enable server health
checks based on SPOP HELLO handshake. SPOP is the protocol used by SPOE filters
to talk to servers.
This is a very simple service that implement a "random" ip reputation
service. It will return random scores for all checked IP addresses. It only
shows you how to implement a ip reputation service or such kind of services
using the SPOE.
