Some people need to inspect contents of TCP requests before deciding to forward a connection or not. A future extension of this demand might consist in selecting a server farm depending on the protocol detected in the request. For this reason, a new state CL_STINSPECT has been added on the client side. It is immediately entered upon accept() if the statement "tcp-request inspect-delay <xxx>" is found in the frontend configuration. Haproxy will then wait up to this amount of time trying to find a matching ACL, and will either accept or reject the connection depending on the "tcp-request content <action> {if|unless}" rules, where <action> is either "accept" or "reject". Note that it only waits that long if no definitive verdict can be found earlier. That generally implies calling a fetch() function which does not have enough information to decode some contents, or a match() function which only finds the beginning of what it's looking for. It is only at the ACL level that partial data may be processed as such, because we need to distinguish between MISS and FAIL *before* applying the term negation. Thus it is enough to add "| ACL_PARTIAL" to the last argument when calling acl_exec_cond() to indicate that we expect ACL_PAT_MISS to be returned if some data is missing (for fetch() or match()). This is the only case we may return this value. For this reason, the ACL check in process_cli() has become a lot simpler. A new ACL "req_len" of type "int" has been added. Right now it is already possible to drop requests which talk too early (eg: for SMTP) or which don't talk at all (eg: HTTP/SSL). Also, the acl fetch() functions have been extended in order to permit reporting of missing data in case of fetch failure, using the ACL_TEST_F_MAY_CHANGE flag. The default behaviour is unchanged, and if no rule matches, the request is accepted. As a side effect, all layer 7 fetching functions have been cleaned up so that they now check for the validity of the layer 7 pointer before dereferencing it. |
