The logs have become a real mess. It is now very hard to tell which
frontend/backend will impose its configuration for the logs. This
needs a complete rework but at least it should work.
The nbconn attribute in the proxies was not relevant anymore because
a frontend A may use backend B and both of them must account for their
respective connections. For this reason, there now are two separate
counters for frontend and backend connections.
The stats page has been updated to reflect the backend, but a separate
line entry for the frontend with error counts would be good.
Note that as of now, beconn may be higher than maxconn, because maxconn
applies to the frontend, while beconn may be increased due to sessions
passed from another frontend.
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 req_cap, hdr_state, hdr_idx, auth_hdr and req_line have been moved
to a dedicated hreq structure in the session. It makes is easier to
add HTTP-specific fields such as SOR (start of request) and EOF (end
of headers).
It also made it possible to fix two bugs introduced by last commit :
- end of headers not correctly detected
- hdr_idx not freed upon one specific error during session creation
When the backend side will be reworked, it should rely on a similar
structure.
The references to the proxy from the session have been turned into
Frontend (fe), Filters (fi) and Backend (be). This should ease the
migration to the L7 switching features. Next step will be to kill
the struct proxy and have 3 independant structs instead, each
referenced from entities called listener, frontend, filters and
backend.
Some of the tv_* functions are called very often. Passing their
arguments as registers is quite faster. This can be disabled
by setting CONFIG_HAP_DISABLE_REGPARM.
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.
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 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.
