The code refactored in a way to call custom handler that can do appropriate
cleanup work (if any), like flushing buffers, finishing compress streams,
finalizing connections to log daemon, etc..
Previously a new buffer was allocated for every "access_log" directive with the
same file path and "buffer=" parameters, while only one buffer per file is used.
The crypt_r() function returns NULL on errors, check it explicitly instead
of assuming errno will remain 0 if there are no errors (per POSIX, the
setting of errno after a successful call to a function is unspecified
unless the description of that function specifies that errno shall not
be modified).
Additionally, dropped unneeded ngx_set_errno(0) and fixed error handling
of memory allocation after normal crypt(), which was inapropriate and
resulted in null pointer dereference on allocation failures.
Configurations like
location /i/ {
image_filter resize 200 200;
image_filter rotate 180;
location /i/foo/ {
image_filter resize 200 200;
}
}
resulted in rotation incorrectly applied in the location /i/foo, without
any way to clear it. Fix is to handle conf->angle/conf->acv consistently
with other filter variables and do not try to inherit them if there are
transformations defined for current location.
The image_filter_jpeg_quality, image_filter_sharpen and "image_filter rotate"
were inherited incorrectly if a directive with variables was defined, and
then redefined to a literal value, i.e. in configurations like
image_filter_jpeg_quality $arg_q;
location / {
image_filter_jpeg_quality 50;
}
Patch by Ian Babrou, with minor changes.
This includes "debug_connection", upstreams, "proxy_pass", etc.
(ticket #92)
To preserve compatibility, "listen" specified with a domain name
selects the first IPv4 address, if available. If not available,
the first IPv6 address will be used (ticket #186).
The URL parsing code is not expected to initialize port from default port
when in "no_resolve" mode. This got broken in r4671 for the case of IPv6
literals.
The ngx_write_fd() and ngx_read_fd() functions return -1 in case of error,
so the incorrect comparison with NGX_FILE_ERROR (which is 0 on windows
platforms) might result in inaccurate error message in the error log.
Also the ngx_errno global variable is being set only if the returned value
is -1.
An incorrect memLevel (lower than 1) might be passed to deflateInit2() if the
"gzip_hash" directive is set to a value less than the value of "gzip_window"
directive. This resulted in "deflateInit2() failed: -2" alert and an empty
reply.
Configuration like
location / {
set $true 1;
if ($true) {
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
if ($true) {
# nothing
}
}
resulted in segmentation fault due to NULL pointer dereference as the
upstream configuration wasn't initialized in an implicit location created
by the last if(), but the r->content_handler was set due to first if().
Instead of committing a suicide by dereferencing a NULL pointer, return
500 (Internal Server Error) in such cases, i.e. if uscf is NULL. Better
fix would be to avoid such cases by fixing the "if" directive handling,
but it's out of scope of this patch.

On Mac OS X system toolchain by default prefers include files
from /usr/local/include, but libraries from /usr/lib. This might result in
various problems, in particular the one outlined below.
If the PCRE library is installed into /usr/local/, this results in pcre.h
being used from /usr/local/include (with PCRE_CONFIG_JIT defined), but
libpcre from /usr/lib (as shipped with the OS, without pcre_free_study()
symbol). As a result build fails as we use pcre_free_study() function
if we try to compile with PCRE JIT support.
Obvious workaround is to the root cause is to ask compiler to prefer
library from /usr/local/lib via ./configure --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib".
On the other hand, in any case it would be good to check if the function
we are going to use is available, hence the change.

This will result in alphabetical sorting of included files if
the "include" directive with wildcards is used.
Note that the behaviour is now different from that on Windows, where
alphabetical sorting is not guaranteed for FindFirsFile()/FindNextFile()
(used to be alphabetical on NTFS, but not on FAT).

Catched by dav_chunked.t on Solaris. In released versions this might
potentially result in corruption of complex protocol responses if they
were written to disk and there were more distinct buffers than IOV_MAX
in a single write.
If write events are not blocked, an extra write event might happen for
various reasons (e.g. as a result of a http pipelining), resulting in
incorrect body being passed to a post handler.
The problem manifested itself with the dav module only, as this is
the only module which reads the body from a content phase handler (in
contrast to exclusive content handlers like proxy). Additionally, dav
module used to dump core in such situations due to ticket #238.
See reports here:

While discarding chunked request body in some cases after detecting
request body corruption no error was returned, while it was possible
to correctly return 400 Bad Request. If error is detected too late,
make sure to properly close connection.
Additionally, in ngx_http_special_response_handler() don't return body
of 500 Internal Server Error to a client if ngx_http_discard_request_body()
fails, but disable keepalive and continue.
Even if there is no preread data, make sure to always call
ngx_http_discard_request_body_filter() in case of chunked request
body to initialize r->headers_in.content_length_n for later use.
nginx doesn't allow the same shared memory zone to be used for different
purposes, but failed to check this on reconfiguration. If a shared memory
zone was used for another purpose in the new configuration, nginx attempted
to reuse it and crashed.
