Christopher Faulet 89dc499359 BUG/MAJOR: http_fetch: Get the channel depending on the keyword used
All HTTP samples are buggy because the channel tested in the prefetch functions
(HTX and legacy HTTP) is chosen depending on the sample direction and not the
keyword really used. It means the request channel is used if the sample is
called during the request analysis and the response channel is used if it is
called during the response analysis, regardless the sample really called. For
instance, if you use the sample "req.ver" in an http-response rule, the response
channel will be prefeched because it is called during the response analysis,
while the request channel should have been used instead. So some assumptions on
the validity of the sample may be made on the wrong channel. It is the first
bug.

Then the same error is done in some samples themselves. So fetches are performed
on the wrong channel. For instance, the header extraction (req.fhdr, res.fhdr,
req.hdr, res.hdr...). If the sample "req.hdr" is used in an http-response rule,
then the matching is done on the response headers and not the request ones. It
is the second bug.

Finally, the last one but not the least, in some samples, the right channel is
used. But because the prefetch was done on the wrong one, this channel may be in
a undefined state. For instance, using the sample "req.ver" in an http-response
rule leads to a matching on a posibility released buffer.

To fix all these bugs, the right channel is now chosen in sample fetches, before
the prefetch. If the same function is used to fetch requests and responses
elements, then the keyword is used to choose the right one. This channel is then
used by the functions smp_prefetch_htx() and smp_prefetch_http(). Of course, it
is also used by the samples themselves to extract information.

This patch must be backported to all supported versions. For version 1.8 and
priors, it must be totally refactored. First because there is no HTX into these
versions. Then the buffers API has changed in HAProxy 1.9. The files
http_fetch.{ch} doesn't exist on old versions.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
