Since the connection queueing was introduced, the "redispatch"
option could not cover the cases where a connection has been
refused by the server after having been marked "in progress".
The fix consists in doing a redispatch in the delayed connection
handling code.
Problem reported by Konrad Rzentarzewski.
- started the changes towards I/O completion callbacks. stream_sock* have
replaced event_*.
- added the new "reqtarpit" and "reqitarpit" protection features
It is now possible to tarpit connections based on regex matches.
The tarpit timeout is equal to the contimeout. A 500 server error
response is faked, and the logs show the status flags as "PT" which
indicate the connection has been tarpitted.
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.
Released 1.3.1 with the following changes from 1.2.15 :
- now, haproxy warns about missing timeout during startup to try to
eliminate all those buggy configurations.
- added "Content-Type: text/html" in responses wherever appropriate, as
suggested by Cameron Simpson.
- implemented "option ssl-hello-chk" to use SSLv3 CLIENT HELLO messages to
test server's health
- implemented "monitor-uri" so that haproxy can reply to a specific URI with
an "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" response. This is useful to validate multiple proxies
at once.
This makes it possible to relay SSL connections in pure TCP instances while
ensuring the remote end really receives our data eventhough intermediate
agents (firewalls, proxies, ...) might acknowledge the connection.
Too many problem reports were caused by missing timeouts. While
there has never been any default value since version 1.0, having
no timeout is abnormal in networked environments, and will lead
to various problems such as CLOSE_WAIT sockets accumulating and
nasty things like this. For this reason, it's better to annoy
the users until they fix their configs than letting them run
buggy configurations.
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.
Released 1.2.14 with the following changes :
- new HTML status report with the 'stats' keyword.
- added the 'abortonclose' option to better resist traffic surges
- implemented dynamic traffic regulation with the 'minconn' option
- show request time on denied requests
- definitely fixed hot reconf on OpenBSD by the use of SO_REUSEPORT
- now a proxy instance is allowed to run without servers, which is
useful to dedicate one instance to stats
- added lots of error counters
- a missing parenthesis preventd matching of cacheable cookies
- a missing parenthesis in poll_loop() might have caused missed events.
When 'minconn' is set, the number of simultaneous sessions sent to the server
will be limited by a dynamic value depending on the global load on the
instance itself. The principle is to fix the maximal concurrency on the server
proportionnally to the instance's usage relative to its maxconn, with a minimum
fixed to <minconn>. The formula for the number of simultaneous sessions sent
to the server is then max(srv_minconn, srv_maxconn*px_conn/px_maxconn). This
helps unloading the servers when the load is very low.
It has been rewritten and now supports an initialization state. It now also
prevents from dumping stopped(disabled) listeners and it is possible to
specify a scope with a list of proxies that are allowed to be dumped from
the one being configured ('.' meaning "this one"). The 'stats' entry can
be configured from the 'defaults' instance and it is correctly flushed
from proxies which redefine it.
Removed one missed debugging write(), fixed buffer management.
Now the HTML table output uses a color code with a caption. Some
more statistics have been collected such as maximum values reached
and failed health checks. Null limits now show "-" instead of "0".
