If request body reading happens with different options it's possible
that there will be no r->request_body->temp_file available (or even
no r->request_body available if body was discarded). Return internal
server error in this case instead of committing suicide by dereferencing
a null pointer.
This parameter allows to don't require certificate to be signed by
a trusted CA, e.g. if CA certificate isn't known in advance, like in
WebID protocol.
Note that it doesn't add any security unless the certificate is actually
checked to be trusted by some external means (e.g. by a backend).
Patch by Mike Kazantsev, Eric O'Connor.
OCSP response verification is now switched off by default to simplify
configuration, and the ssl_stapling_verify allows to switch it on.
Note that for stapling OCSP response verification isn't something required
as it will be done by a client anyway. But doing verification on a server
allows to mitigate some attack vectors, most notably stop an attacker from
presenting some specially crafted data to all site clients.
This includes the ssl_stapling_responder directive (defaults to OCSP
responder set in certificate's AIA extension).
OCSP response for a given certificate is requested once we get at least
one connection with certificate_status extension in ClientHello, and
certificate status won't be sent in the connection in question. This due
to limitations in the OpenSSL API (certificate status callback is blocking).
Note: SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() was reimplemented as it doesn't
allow to access the certificate loaded via SSL_CTX.
Very basic version without any OCSP responder query code, assuming valid
DER-encoded OCSP response is present in a ssl_stapling_file configured.
Such file might be produced with openssl like this:
openssl ocsp -issuer root.crt -cert domain.crt -respout domain.staple \
-url http://ocsp.example.com
The directive allows to specify additional trusted Certificate Authority
certificates to be used during certificate verification. In contrast to
ssl_client_certificate DNs of these cerificates aren't sent to a client
during handshake.
Trusted certificates are loaded regardless of the fact whether client
certificates verification is enabled as the same certificates will be
used for OCSP stapling, during construction of an OCSP request and for
verification of an OCSP response.
The same applies to a CRL (which is now always loaded).
With "always" gzip static returns gzipped content in all cases, without
checking if client supports it. It is useful if there are no uncompressed
files on disk anyway.
This directive allows to test desired flag as returned by memcached and
sets Content-Encoding to gzip if one found.
This is reimplementation of patch by Tomash Brechko as available on
http://openhack.ru/. It should be a bit more correct though (at least
I think so). In particular, it doesn't try to detect if we are able to
gunzip data, but instead just sets correct Content-Encoding.
The rbtree used in ngx_http_limit_req_module has two level of keys, the top is
hash, and the next is the value string itself. However, when inserting a new
node, only hash has been set, while the value string has been left empty.
The bug was introduced in r4419 (1.1.14).
Found by Charles Chen.
The "include" directive should be able to include multiple files if
given a filename mask. Fixed this to work for "include" directives
inside the "map" or "types" blocks. The "include" directive inside
the "geo" block is still not fixed.
Previous code incorrectly used ctx->var_values as an array of pointers to
ngx_http_variable_value_t, but the array contains structures, not pointers.
Additionally, ctx->var_values inspection failed to properly set var on
match.
This includes handling of ETag headers (if present in a response) with
basic support for If-Match, If-None-Match conditionals in not modified
filter.
Note that the "r->headers_out.last_modified_time == -1" check in the not
modified filter is left as is intentionally. It's to prevent handling
of If-* headers in case of proxy without cache (much like currently
done with If-Modified-Since).
This makes code more extendable. The only functional change is when
If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since are specified together, the
case which is explicitly left undefined by RFC 2616. The new behaviour
is to respect them both, which seems better.
If modification time isn't known, skip range processing and return full
entity body instead of just ignoring If-Range. Ignoring If-Range isn't
safe as client will assume entity wasn't changed since time specified.
The original idea was to optimize edge cases in case of interchangeable
backends, i.e. don't establish a new connection if we have any one
cached. This causes more harm than good though, as it screws up
underlying balancer's idea about backends used and may result in
various unexpected problems.
Number of entries in stsc atom was wrong if we've added an entry to
split a chunk.
Additionally, there is no need to add an entry if we are going to split
last chunk in an entry, it's enough to update the entry we already have.
Previously new entry was added and old one was left as is, resulting in
incorrect entry with zero chunks which might confuse some software.
Contains response status code as a 3-digit integer
(with leading zeroes if necessary), or one of the following values:
000 - response status code has not yet been assigned
009 - HTTP/0.9 request is being processed
Removed duplicate call of ngx_http_upstream_init_round_robin_peer()
overlooked during code changes. Rewritten "return lcp->free_rr_peer(...)"
as MSVC doesn't like it.
The module now supports recursive search of client address through the
chain of trusted proxies (closes#100), in the same scope as the geo
module. Proxies are listed by the "geoip_proxy" directive, recursive
search is enabled by the "geoip_proxy_recursive" directive. IPv6 is
partially supported: proxies may be specified with IPv6 addresses.
Example:
geoip_country .../GeoIP.dat;
geoip_proxy 127.0.0.1;
geoip_proxy ::1;
geoip_proxy 10.0.0.0/8;
geoip_proxy_recursive on;
The module now supports recursive search of client address through
the chain of trusted proxies, controlled by the "proxy_recursive"
directive in the "geo" block. It also gets partial IPv6 support:
now proxies may be specified with IPv6 addresses.
Example:
geo $test {
...
proxy 127.0.0.1;
proxy ::1;
proxy_recursive;
}
There's also a slight change in behavior. When original client
address (as specified by the "geo" directive) is one of the
trusted proxies, and the value of the X-Forwarded-For request
header cannot not be parsed as a valid address, an original client
address will be used for lookup. Previously, 255.255.255.255 was
used in this case.
The module now supports recursive search of client address through
the chain of trusted proxies, controlled by the "real_ip_recursive"
directive (closes#2). It also gets full IPv6 support (closes#44)
and canonical value of the $client_addr variable on address change.
Example:
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.0/8;
set_real_ip_from ::1;
set_real_ip_from unix:;
real_ip_recursive on;
Padding was incorrectly ignored on end request, empty stdout and stderr
fastcgi records. This resulted in protocol desynchronization if fastcgi
application used these records with padding for some reason.
Reported by Ilia Vinokurov.
Failing to do so results in problems if 400 or 414 requests are
redirected to fastcgi/scgi/uwsgi upstream, as well as after invalid
headers got from upstream. This was already fixed for proxy in r3478,
but fastcgi (the only affected protocol at that time) was missed.
Reported by Matthieu Tourne.
The proxy module context may be NULL in case of filter finalization
(e.g. by image_filter) followed by an internal redirect. This needs
some better handling, but for now just check if ctx is still here.
Previous (incorrect) behaviour was to inherit ipv6 rules separately from
ipv4 ones. Now all rules are either inherited (if there are no rules
defined at current level) or not (if there are any rules defined).
Note that "ctxt->loadsubset = 1" previously used isn't really correct as
ctxt->loadsubset is a bitfield now. The use of xmlCtxtUseOptions() with
XML_PARSE_DTDLOAD is believed to be a better way to do the same thing.
Patch by Laurence Rowe.
The problem was introduced in 0.7.44 (r2589) during conversion to complex
values. Previously string.len included space for terminating NUL, but
with complex values it doesn't.
- Removed "hash" element from ngx_http_header_val_t which was always 1.
- Replaced NGX_HTTP_EXPIRES_* with ngx_http_expires_t enum type.
- Added prototype for ngx_http_add_header()
- Simplified ngx_http_set_last_modified().
This resulted in a disclosure of previously freed memory if upstream
server returned specially crafted response, potentially exposing
sensitive information.
Reported by Matthew Daley.
Embedded perl module assumes there is a space for terminating NUL character,
make sure to provide it in all situations by allocating one extra byte for
value buffer. Default ssi_value_length is reduced accordingly to
preserve 256 byte allocations.
While here, fixed another one byte value buffer overrun possible in
ssi_quoted_symbol_state.
Reported by Matthew Daley.
Previous code incorrectly assumed that nodes with identical keys are linked
together. This might not be true after tree rebalance.
Patch by Lanshun Zhou.
Nuke NGX_PARSE_LARGE_TIME, it's not used since 0.6.30. The only error
ngx_parse_time() can currently return is NGX_ERROR, check it explicitly
and make sure to cast it to appropriate type (either time_t or ngx_msec_t)
to avoid signedness warnings on platforms with unsigned time_t (notably QNX).
Empty flush buffers are legitimate and may happen e.g. due to $r->flush()
calls in embedded perl. If there are no data buffered in zlib, deflate()
will return Z_BUF_ERROR (i.e. no progress possible) without adding anything
to output. Don't treat Z_BUF_ERROR as fatal and correctly send empty flush
buffer if we have no data in output at all.
See this thread for details:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2010-November/023693.html
the way.
It was unintentionally changed in r4272, so that it could only limit the first
location where the processing of the request has reached PREACCESS phase.
Example configuration to reproduce:
server {
proxy_redirect off;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/ /;
location ~ \.php$ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
# proxy_redirect must be inherited from the level above,
# but instead it was switched off here
}
}
}
Doing a cleanup before every lookup seems to be too aggressive. It can lead to
premature removal of the nodes still usable, which increases the amount of work
under a mutex lock and therefore decreases performance.
In order to improve cleanup behavior, cleanup function call has been moved right
before the allocation of a new node.
"limit_req_zone" directive; minimum size of zone is increased.
Previously an unsigned variable was used to keep the return value of
ngx_parse_size() function, which led to an incorrect zone size if NGX_ERROR
was returned.
The new code has been taken from the "limit_conn_zone" directive.
Support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols was introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.1
(-beta1 was recently released). This change makes it possible to disable
these protocols and/or enable them without other protocols.
The problem was localized in ngx_http_proxy_rewrite_redirect_regex() handler
function which did not take into account prefix when overwriting header value.
New directives: proxy_cache_lock on/off, proxy_cache_lock_timeout. With
proxy_cache_lock set to on, only one request will be allowed to go to
upstream for a particular cache item. Others will wait for a response
to appear in cache (or cache lock released) up to proxy_cache_lock_timeout.
Waiting requests will recheck if they have cached response ready (or are
allowed to run) every 500ms.
Note: we intentionally don't intercept NGX_DECLINED possibly returned by
ngx_http_file_cache_read(). This needs more work (possibly safe, but needs
further investigation). Anyway, it's exceptional situation.
Note: probably there should be a way to disable caching of responses
if there is already one request fetching resource to cache (without waiting
at all). Two possible ways include another cache lock option ("no_cache")
or using proxy_no_cache with some supplied variable.
Note: probably there should be a way to lock updating requests as well. For
now "proxy_cache_use_stale updating" is available.
If proxy_pass was used with variables and there was no URI component,
nginx always used unparsed URI. This isn't consistent with "no variables"
case, where e.g. rewrites are applied even if there is no URI component.
Fix is to use the same logic in both cases, i.e. only use unparsed URI if
it's valid and request is the main one.
The SCGI specification doesn't specify format of the response, and assuming
CGI specs should be used there is no reason to complain. RFC 3875
explicitly states that "A Status header field is optional, and status
200 'OK' is assumed if it is omitted".
The r->http_version is a version of client's request, and modules must
not set it unless they are really willing to downgrade protocol version
used for a response (i.e. to HTTP/0.9 if no response headers are available).
In neither case r->http_version may be upgraded.
The former code downgraded response from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/1.0 for no reason,
causing various problems (see ticket #66). It was also possible that
HTTP/0.9 requests were upgraded to HTTP/1.0.
It was working for nginx's own 206 replies as they are seen as 200 in the
headers filter module (range filter goes later in the headers filter chain),
but not for proxied replies.
