Previously errors led only to closing streams.
To simplify closing QUIC connection from a QUIC stream context, new macro
ngx_http_v3_finalize_connection() is introduced. It calls
ngx_quic_finalize_connection() for the parent connection.
Previously dynamic table was not functional because of zero limit on its size
set by default. Now the following changes enable it:
- new directives to set SETTINGS_QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY and
SETTINGS_QPACK_BLOCKED_STREAMS
- send settings with SETTINGS_QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY and
SETTINGS_QPACK_BLOCKED_STREAMS to the client
- send Insert Count Increment to the client
- send Header Acknowledgement to the client
- evict old dynamic table entries on overflow
- decode Required Insert Count from client
- block stream if Required Insert Count is not reached
Also, if both are present, require that they have the same value. These
requirements are specified in HTTP/3 draft 28.
Current implementation of HTTP/2 treats ":authority" and "Host"
interchangeably. New checks only make sure at least one of these values is
present in the request. A similar check existed earlier and was limited only
to HTTP/1.1 in 38c0898b6df7.
OCSP validation for client certificates is enabled by the "ssl_ocsp" directive.
OCSP responder can be optionally specified by "ssl_ocsp_responder".
When session is reused, peer chain is not available for validation.
If the verified chain contains certificates from the peer chain not available
at the server, validation will fail.
Preserving pointers within the client buffer is not needed for HTTP/3 because
all data is either allocated from pool or static. Unlike with HTTP/1, data
typically cannot be referenced directly within the client buffer. Trying to
preserve NULLs or external pointers lead to broken pointers.
Also, reverted changes in ngx_http_alloc_large_header_buffer() not relevant
for HTTP/3 to minimize diff to mainstream.
New field r->parse_start is introduced to substitute r->request_start and
r->header_name_start for request length accounting. These fields only work for
this purpose in HTTP/1 because HTTP/1 request line and header line start with
these values.
Also, error logging is now fixed to output the right part of the request.
As per HTTP/3 draft 27, a request or response containing uppercase header
field names MUST be treated as malformed. Also, existing rules applied
when parsing HTTP/1 header names are also applied to HTTP/3 header names:
- null character is not allowed
- underscore character may or may not be treated as invalid depending on the
value of "underscores_in_headers"
- all non-alphanumeric characters with the exception of '-' are treated as
invalid
Also, the r->locase_header field is now filled while parsing an HTTP/3
header.
Error logging for invalid headers is fixed as well.
The first one parses pseudo-headers and is analagous to the request line
parser in HTTP/1. The second one parses regular headers and is analogous to
the header parser in HTTP/1.
Additionally, error handling of client passing malformed uri is now fixed.
For ngx_http_process_request() part to work, this required to set both
r->http_connection->ssl and c->ssl on a QUIC stream. To avoid damaging
global SSL object, ngx_ssl_shutdown() is managed to ignore QUIC streams.
- integer parameters can be configured using the following directives:
quic_max_idle_timeout
quic_max_ack_delay
quic_max_packet_size
quic_initial_max_data
quic_initial_max_stream_data_bidi_local
quic_initial_max_stream_data_bidi_remote
quic_initial_max_stream_data_uni
quic_initial_max_streams_bidi
quic_initial_max_streams_uni
quic_ack_delay_exponent
quic_active_migration
quic_active_connection_id_limit
- only following parameters are actually sent:
active_connection_id_limit
initial_max_streams_uni
initial_max_streams_bidi
initial_max_stream_data_bidi_local
initial_max_stream_data_bidi_remote
initial_max_stream_data_uni
(other parameters are to be added into ngx_quic_create_transport_params()
function as needed, should be easy now)
- draft 24 and draft 27 are now supported
(at compile-time using quic_version macro)
- events handling moved into src/event/ngx_event_quic.c
- http invokes once ngx_quic_run() and passes stream callback
(diff to original http_request.c is now minimal)
- streams are stored in rbtree using ID as a key
- when a new stream is registered, appropriate callback is called
- ngx_quic_stream_t type represents STREAM and stored in c->qs
When "aio" or "aio threads" is used while processing the response body of an
in-memory background subrequest, the subrequest could be finalized with an aio
operation still in progress. Upon aio completion either parent request is
woken or the old r->write_event_handler is called again. The latter may result
in request errors. In either case post_subrequest handler is never called with
the full response body, which is typically expected when using in-memory
subrequests.
Currently in nginx background subrequests are created by the upstream module
and the mirror module. The issue does not manifest itself with these
subrequests because they are header-only. But it can manifest itself with
third-party modules which create in-memory background subrequests.
Introduced ngx_quic_input() and ngx_quic_output() as interface between
nginx and protocol. They are the only functions that are exported.
While there, added copyrights.
Duplicate "Host" headers were allowed in nginx 0.7.0 (revision b9de93d804ea)
as a workaround for some broken Motorola phones which used to generate
requests with two "Host" headers[1]. It is believed that this workaround
is no longer relevant.

The "identity" transfer coding has been removed in RFC 7230. It is
believed that it is not used in real life, and at the same time it
provides a potential attack vector.
