There was a confusion about the way to find filters and backend
parameters from sessions. The chaining has been changed between
the session and the proxy.
Now, a session knows only two proxies : one frontend (->fe) and
one backend (->be). Each proxy has a link to the proxy providing
filters and to the proxy providing backend parameters (both self
by default).
The captures (cookies and headers) have been attached to the
frontend's filters for now.
The uri_auth and the statistics are attached to the backend's
filters so that the uri can depend on a hostname for instance.
The check of uri_auth is now in a separate function which is
checked after every backend switch, so that it will be possible
to have an uri_auth for the frontend and another one for the
backend.
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.
As suggested by Markus Elfring, a few "const char *" have replaced
some "char *" declarations where a function is not expected to
modify a value. It does not change the code but it helps detecting
coding errors.
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.
