Previously, an unavailable peer was considered recovered after a successful
proxy session to this peer. Until then, only a single client connection per
fail_timeout was allowed to be proxied to the peer.
Since stream sessions can be long, it may take indefinite time for a peer to
recover, limiting the ability of the peer to receive new connections.
Now, a peer is considered recovered after a successful TCP connection is
established to it. Balancers are notified of this event via the notify()
callback.
If proxy_pass (and friends) with variables evaluates an upstream
specified with literal address, nginx always created a per-request
upstream.
Now, if there's a matching upstream specified in the configuration
(either implicit or explicit), it will be used instead.
This fixes inconsistency in what is stored in the "host" field.
Normally it would contain the "host" part of the parsed URL
(e.g., proxy_pass with variables), but for the case of an
implicit upstream specified with literal address it contained
the text representation of the socket address (that is, host
including port for IP).
Now the "host" field always contains the "host" part of the URL,
while the text representation of the socket address is stored
in the newly added "name" field.
The ngx_http_upstream_create_round_robin_peer() function was
modified accordingly in a way to be compatible with the code
that does not know about the new "name" field.
The "stream" code was similarly modified except for not adding
compatibility in ngx_stream_upstream_create_round_robin_peer().
This change is also a prerequisite for the next change.
BoringSSL changed SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() to be a real function
with a (const char *) argument, so it now triggers a warning due to
conversion from (u_char *). Added an explicit cast to silence the
warning.

Keeps the full address of the upstream server. If several servers were
contacted during proxying, their addresses are separated by commas,
e.g. "192.168.1.1:80, 192.168.1.2:80".
The stream session status is one of the following:
200 - normal completion
403 - access forbidden
500 - internal server error
502 - bad gateway
503 - limit conn
The following two types of bind addresses are supported in addition to
$remote_addr and address literals:
- $remote_addr:$remote_port
- [$remote_addr]:$remote_port
In both cases client remote address with port is used in upstream socket bind.
This patch moves various OpenSSL-specific function calls into the
OpenSSL module and introduces ngx_ssl_ciphers() to make nginx more
crypto-library-agnostic.
This parameter lets binding the proxy connection to a non-local address.
Upstream will see the connection as coming from that address.
When used with $remote_addr, upstream will accept the connection from real
client address.
Example:
proxy_bind $remote_addr transparent;
The main proxy function ngx_stream_proxy_process() can terminate the stream
session. The code, following it, should check its return code to make sure the
session still exists. This happens in client and upstream initialization
functions. Swapping ngx_stream_proxy_process() call with the code, that
follows it, leaves the same problem vice versa.
In future ngx_stream_proxy_process() will call ngx_stream_proxy_next_upstream()
making it too complicated to know if stream session still exists after this
call.
Now ngx_stream_proxy_process() is called from posted event handlers in both
places with no code following it. The posted event is automatically removed
once session is terminated.
Resolved warnings about declarations that hide previous local declarations.
Warnings about WSASocketA() being deprecated resolved by explicit use of
WSASocketW() instead of WSASocket(). When compiling without IPv6 support,
WinSock deprecated warnings are disabled to allow use of gethostbyname().
Once upstream is connected, the upstream buffer is allocated. Previously, the
proxy module used the buffer allocation status to check if upstream is
connected. Now it's enough to check the flag.
When client or upstream connection is closed, level-triggered read event
remained active until the end of the session leading to cpu hog. Now the flag
NGX_CLOSE_EVENT is used to unschedule the event.
