The http-error directive can now be used instead of errorfile to define an error
message in a proxy section (including default sections). This directive uses the
same syntax that http return rules. The only real difference is the limitation
on status code that may be specified. Only status codes supported by errorfile
directives are supported for this new directive. Parsing of errorfile directive
remains independent from http-error parsing. But functionally, it may be
expressed in terms of http-errors :
errorfile <status> <file> ==> http-errror status <status> errorfile <file>
"http-request deny", "http-request tarpit" and "http-response deny" rules now
use the same syntax than http return rules and internally rely on the http
replies. The behaviour is not the same when no argument is specified (or only
the status code). For http replies, a dummy response is produced, with no
payload. For old deny/tarpit rules, the proxy's error messages are used. Thus,
to be compatible with existing configuration, the "default-errorfiles" parameter
is implied. For instance :
http-request deny deny_status 404
is now an alias of
http-request deny status 404 default-errorfiles
These are mostly comments in the code. A few error messages were fixed
and are of low enough importance not to deserve a backport. Some regtests
were also fixed.
2 reg tests have been added to ensure the HTTP return action is functionnal. A
reg test is about returning error files. The other one is about returning
default responses and responses based on string or file payloads.
2 reg tests are added. The first one ensures the declaration of errors in a
proxy is fonctionnal. It declares http-errors sections and declare error files
using the errorfile and the errorfiles directives, both in the default section
and the frontend sections. The second one ensures it is possible to use a custom
error file for an HTTP deny rule.
