It is now a syntax error if tokens passed to a custom configuration
handler are terminated by "{".
The following incorrect configuration is now properly rejected:
map $v $v2 {

An invalid memcached reply that started with '\n' could cause
segmentation fault.
An invalid memcached reply "VALUE / 0 2\r?ok\r\nEND\r\n" was
considered as a valid response.
In addition, if memcached reports that the key was not found,
set u->headers_in.content_length_n to 0. This ensures that
ngx_http_memcached_filter() will not be called while previous
code relied on always intercepting 404. Initialization of
ctx->rest was moved to where it belongs.
Due to peer->checked always set since rev. c90801720a0c (1.3.0)
by round-robin and least_conn balancers (ip_hash not affected),
the code in ngx_http_upstream_free_round_robin_peer() function
incorrectly reset peer->fails too often.

Due to a bad argument list, nginx worker would crash (SIGSEGV) while
trying to log the fact that it received OCSP response with "revoked"
or "unknown" certificate status.
While there, fix similar (but non-crashing) error a few lines above.

There are two significant changes in this patch:
1) The <= 0 comparison is done with a signed type. This fixes the case
of ngx_time() being larger than r->lingering_time.
2) Calculation of r->lingering_time - ngx_time() is now always done
in the ngx_msec_t type. This ensures the calculation is correct
even if time_t is unsigned and differs in size from ngx_msec_t.

Previously, input pattern was kept only for regular expressions
with named captures, which resulted in error log entries without
input pattern for PCRE errors that occured while processing
regular expressions without them.

The $proxy_internal_body_length value might change during request lifetime,
notably if proxy_set_body used, and use of a cached value might result in
incorrect upstream requests.

As of now, it allows to better control bandwidth limiting from additional
modules. It is also expected to be used to add variables support to
the limit_rate_after directive.
If nginx was compiled without --with-http_ssl_module, but with some
other module which uses OpenSSL (e.g. --with-mail_ssl_module), insufficient
preprocessor check resulted in build failure. The problem was introduced
by e0a3714a36f8 (1.3.14).
Reported by Roman Arutyunyan.
This is to avoid setting the TCP_NODELAY flag on SPDY socket in
ngx_http_upstream_send_response(). The latter works per request,
but in SPDY case it might affect other streams in connection.
As of 1.3.9, chunked request body may be available with
r->headers_in.content_length_n <= 0. Additionally, request body
may be in multiple buffers even if r->request_body_in_single_buf
was requested.
Dependancy tracking introduced in r5169 were not handled absolute path
names properly. Absolute names might appear in CORE_DEPS if --with-openssl
or --with-pcre configure arguments are used to build OpenSSL/PCRE
libraries.
Additionally, revert part of r5169 to set NGX_INCS from Makefile
variables. Makefile variables have $ngx_include_opt in them, which
might result in wrong include paths being used. As a side effect,
this also restores build with --with-http_perl_module and --without-http
at the same time.
Before 1.3.9 an attempt to read body in a subrequest only caused problems
if body wasn't already read or discarded in a main request. Starting with
1.3.9 it might also cause problems if body was discarded by a main request
before subrequest start.
Fix is to just ignore attempts to read request body in a subrequest, which
looks like right thing to do anyway.
We generate both read and write events if an error event was returned by
port_getn() without POLLIN/POLLOUT, but we should not try to handle inactive
events, they may even have no handler.
Stale write event may happen if read and write events was reported both,
and processing of the read event closed descriptor.
In practice this might result in "sendfilev() failed (134: ..." or
"writev() failed (134: ..." errors when switching to next upstream server.
See report here:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2013-April/038421.html
To avoid further breaks it's now done properly, all the dependencies
are now passed to Makefile.PL. While here, fixed include list passed to
Makefile.PL to use Makefile variables rather than a list expanded during
configure.
Problems with setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY) and setsockopt(TCP_NOPUSH), as well
as sendfile() syscall on Solaris, are specific to UNIX-domain sockets.
Other address families, i.e. AF_INET and AF_INET6, are fine.
On Win32 platforms 0 is used to indicate errors in file operations, so
comparing against -1 is not portable.
This was not much of an issue in patched code, since only ngx_fd_info() test
is actually reachable on Win32 and in worst case it might result in bogus
error log entry.
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
Sorting of upstream servers by their weights is not required by
current balancing algorithms.
This will likely change mapping to backends served by ip_hash
weighted upstreams.
And corresponding variable $connections_waiting was added.
Previously, waiting connections were counted as the difference between
active connections and the sum of reading and writing connections.
That made it impossible to count more than one request in one connection
as reading or writing (as is the case for SPDY).
Also, we no longer count connections in handshake state as waiting.
This should improve behavior under deficiency of connections.
Since SSL handshake usually takes significant amount of time,
we exclude connections from reusable queue during this period
to avoid premature flush of them.
If proxy_pass to a host with dynamic resolution was used to handle
a subrequest, and host resolution failed, the main request wasn't run
till something else happened on the connection. E.g. request to "/zzz"
with the following configuration hanged:
addition_types *;
resolver 8.8.8.8;
location /test {
set $ihost xxx;
proxy_pass http://$ihost;
}
location /zzz {
add_after_body /test;
return 200 "test";
}
Report and original version of the patch by Lanshun Zhou,
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2013-March/003476.html.
Code to reuse of r->request_body->buf in upstream module assumes it's
dedicated buffer, hence after 1.3.9 (r4931) it might reuse r->header_in
if client_body_in_file_only was set, resulting in original request
corruption. It is considered to be safer to always create a dedicated
buffer for rb->bufs to avoid such problems.
After introduction of chunked request body handling in 1.3.9 (r4931),
r->request_body->bufs buffers have b->start pointing to original buffer
start (and b->pos pointing to real data of this particular buffer).
While this is ok as per se, it caused bad things (usually original request
headers included before the request body) after reinit of the request
chain in ngx_http_upstream_reinit() while sending the request to a next
upstream server (which used to do b->pos = b->start for each buffer
in the request chain).
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
If c->recv() returns 0 there is no sense in using ngx_socket_errno for
logging, its value meaningless. (The code in question was copied from
ngx_http_keepalive_handler(), but ngx_socket_errno makes sense there as it's
used as a part of ECONNRESET handling, and the c->recv() call is preceeded
by the ngx_set_socket_errno(0) call.)
In r2411 setting of NGX_HTTP_GZIP_BUFFERED in c->buffered was moved from
ngx_http_gzip_filter_deflate_start() to ngx_http_gzip_filter_buffer() since
it was always called first. But in r2543 the "postpone_gzipping" directive
was introduced, and if postponed gzipping is disabled (the default setting),
ngx_http_gzip_filter_buffer() is not called at all.
We must always set NGX_HTTP_GZIP_BUFFERED after the start of compression
since there is always a trailer that is buffered.
There are no known cases when it leads to any problem with current code.
But we already had troubles in upcoming SPDY implementation.
Not only this is useful for the upcoming SPDY support, but it can
also help to improve HTTPS performance by enabling TLS False Start
in Chrome/Chromium browsers [1]. So, we always enable NPN for HTTPS
if it is supported by OpenSSL.

The c->single_connection was intended to be used as lock mechanism
to serialize modifications of request object from several threads
working with client and upstream connections. The flag is redundant
since threads in nginx have never been used that way.
In Linux 2.6.32, TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT was changed to accept connections
after the deferring period is finished without any data available.
(Reading from the socket returns EAGAIN in this case.)
Since in nginx TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT is set to "post_accept_timeout", we
do not need to wait longer if deferred accept returns with no data.
Previously, only the first request in a connection used timeout
value from the "client_header_timeout" directive while reading
header. All subsequent requests used "keepalive_timeout" for
that.
It happened because timeout of the read event was set to the
value of "keepalive_timeout" in ngx_http_set_keepalive(), but
was not removed when the next request arrived.
Previously, we always created an object and logged 400 (Bad Request)
in access log if a client closed connection without sending any data.
Such a connection was counted as "reading".
Since it's common for modern browsers to behave like this, it's no
longer considered an error if a client closes connection without
sending any data, and such a connection will be counted as "waiting".
Now, we do not log 400 (Bad Request) and keep memory footprint as
small as possible.
Previously, it was allocated from a connection pool and
was selectively freed for an idle keepalive connection.
The goal is to put coupled things in one chunk of memory,
and to simplify handling of request objects.
According to RFC 6066, client is not supposed to request a different server
name at the application layer. Server implementations that rely upon these
names being equal must validate that a client did not send a different name
in HTTP request. Current versions of Apache HTTP server always return 400
"Bad Request" in such cases.
There exist implementations however (e.g., SPDY) that rely on being able to
request different host names in one connection. Given this, we only reject
requests with differing host names if verification of client certificates
is enabled in a corresponding server configuration.
An example of configuration that might not work as expected:
server {
listen 433 ssl default;
return 404;
}
server {
listen 433 ssl;
server_name example.org;
ssl_client_certificate org.cert;
ssl_verify_client on;
}
server {
listen 433 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl_client_certificate com.cert;
ssl_verify_client on;
}
Previously, a client was able to request example.com by presenting
a certificate for example.org, and vice versa.
Not only this is consistent with a case without SNI, but this also
prevents abusing configurations that assume that the $host variable
is limited to one of the configured names for a server.
An example of potentially unsafe configuration:
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
...
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://$host;
}
}
Note: it is possible to negotiate "example.com" by SNI, and to request
arbitrary host name that does not exist in the configuration above.
Previously, this was done only after the whole request header
was parsed, and if an error occurred earlier then the request
was processed in the default server (or server chosen by SNI),
while r->headers_in.server might be set to the value from the
Host: header or host from request line.
r->headers_in.server is in turn used for $host variable and
in HTTP redirects if "server_name_in_redirect" is disabled.
Without the change, configurations that rely on this during
error handling are potentially unsafe if SNI is used.
This change also allows to use server specific settings of
"underscores_in_headers", "ignore_invalid_headers", and
"large_client_header_buffers" directives for HTTP requests
and HTTPS requests without SNI.
The request object will not be created until SSL handshake is complete.
This simplifies adding another connection handler that does not need
request object right after handshake (e.g., SPDY).
There are also a few more intentional effects:
- the "client_header_buffer_size" directive will be taken from the
server configuration that was negotiated by SNI;
- SSL handshake errors and timeouts are not logged into access log
as bad requests;
- ngx_ssl_create_connection() is not called until the first byte of
ClientHello message was received. This also decreases memory
consumption if plain HTTP request is sent to SSL socket.
Previously, only the first request in a connection was assigned the
configuration selected by SNI. All subsequent requests initially
used the default server's configuration, ignoring SNI, which was
wrong.
Now all subsequent requests in a connection will initially use the
configuration selected by SNI. This is done by storing a pointer
to configuration in http connection object. It points to default
server's configuration initially, but changed upon receipt of SNI.
(The request's configuration can be further refined when parsing
the request line and Host: header.)
This change was not made specific to SNI as it also allows slightly
faster access to configuration without the request object.
This change helps to decouple ngx_http_ssl_servername() from the request
object.
Note: now we close connection in case of error during server name lookup
for request. Previously, we did so only for HTTP/0.9 requests.
In case multiple "Cache-Control" headers are sent to a client,
multiple values in $sent_http_cache_control were incorrectly
split by a semicolon. Now they are split by a comma.
In case of error in the read event handling we close a connection
by calling ngx_http_close_connection(), that also destroys connection
pool. Thereafter, an attempt to free a buffer (added in r4892) that
was allocated from the pool could cause SIGSEGV and is meaningless
as well (the buffer already freed with the pool).
In case of fully populated SSL session cache with no memory left for
new allocations, ngx_ssl_new_session() will try to expire the oldest
non-expired session and retry, but only in case when slab allocation
fails for "cached_sess", not when slab allocation fails for either
"sess_id" or "id", which can happen for number of reasons and results
in new session not being cached.
Patch fixes this by adding retry logic to "sess_id" & "id" allocations.
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
It was added in r2717 and no longer needed since r2721,
where the termination was added to ngx_shm_alloc() and
ngx_init_zone_pool(). So then it only corrupts error
messages about ivalid zones.
This allows to proxy WebSockets by using configuration like this:
location /chat/ {
proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
Connection upgrade is allowed as long as it was requested by a client
via the Upgrade request header.
Note: use of {SHA} passwords is discouraged as {SHA} password scheme is
vulnerable to attacks using rainbow tables. Use of {SSHA}, $apr1$ or
crypt() algorithms as supported by OS is recommended instead.
The {SHA} password scheme support is added to avoid the need of changing
the scheme recorded in password files from {SHA} to {SSHA} because such
a change hides security problem with {SHA} passwords.
Patch by Louis Opter, with minor changes.
If fastcgi end request record was split between several network packets,
with fastcgi_keep_conn it was possible that connection was saved in incorrect
state (e.g. with padding bytes not yet read).
Checks for f->padding before state transitions make code hard to follow,
remove them and make sure we always do another loop iteration after
f->state is set to ngx_http_fastcgi_st_padding.
With fastcgi_keep_conn it was possible that connection was closed after
FCGI_STDERR record with zero padding and without any further data read yet.
This happended as f->state was set to ngx_http_fastcgi_st_padding and then
"break" happened, resulting in p->length being set to f->padding, i.e. 0
(which in turn resulted in connection close).
Fix is to make sure we continue the loop after f->state is set.
After introduction of chunked request body reading support in 1.3.9 (r4931),
the rb->bufs wasn't set if request body was fully preread while calling the
ngx_http_read_client_request_body() function.
Reported by Yichun Zhang (agentzh).
Missing calls to ngx_handle_write_event() and ngx_handle_read_event()
resulted in a CPU hog during SSL handshake if an level-triggered event
method (e.g. select) was used.
According to documentation, calling SSL_write() with num=0 bytes to be sent
results in undefined behavior.
We don't currently call ngx_ssl_send_chain() with empty chain and buffer.
This check handles the case of a chain with total data size that is
a multiple of NGX_SSL_BUFSIZE, and with the special buffer at the end.
In practice such cases resulted in premature connection close and critical
error "SSL_write() failed (SSL:)" in the error log.
The "secure_link_secret" directive was always inherited from the outer
configuration level even when "secure_link" and "secure_link_md5" were
specified on the inner level.
A POLLERR signalled by poll() without POLLIN/POLLOUT, as seen on
Linux, would generate both read and write events, but there's no
write event handler for resolver events. A fix is to only call
event handler of an active event.
Before the patch if proxy_method was specified at http{} level the code
to add trailing space wasn't executed, resulting in incorrect requests
to upstream.
The "proxy_bind", "fastcgi_bind", "uwsgi_bind", "scgi_bind" and
"memcached_bind" directives are now inherited; inherited value
can be reset by the "off" parameter. Duplicate directives are
now detected. Parameter value can now contain variables.
Upstreams created by "proxy_pass" with IP address and no port were
broken in 1.3.10, by not initializing port in u->sockaddr.
API change: ngx_parse_url() was modified to always initialize port
(in u->sockaddr and in u->port), even for the u->no_resolve case;
ngx_http_upstream() and ngx_http_upstream_add() were adopted.
The patch saves one EC_KEY_generate_key() call per server{} block by
informing OpenSSL about SSL_OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE we are going to use before
the SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh() call.
For a configuration file with 10k simple server{} blocks with SSL enabled
this change reduces startup time from 18s to 5s on a slow test box here.
Uninitialized pointer may result in arbitrary segfaults if access_log is used
without buffer and without variables in file path.
Patch by Tatsuhiko Kubo (ticket #268).
Previously, "default" was equivalent to specifying 0.0.0.0/0, now
it's equivalent to specifying both 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 (if support
for IPv6 is enabled) with the same value.
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.

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).
Approved by Igor Sysoev, prodded by many.
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:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2012-November/002981.htmlhttp://serverfault.com/questions/449195/nginx-webdav-server-with-auth-request
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.
An attempt to call ngx_handle_read_event() before actually reading
data from a socket might result in read event being disabled, which is
wrong. Catched by body.t test on Solaris.
The r->main->count reference counter was always incremented in
ngx_http_read_client_request_body(), while it is only needs to be
incremented on positive returns.
The $request_body variable was assuming there can't be more than two
buffers. While this is currently true due to request body reading
implementation details, this is not a good thing to depend on and may
change in the future.
It is not about "Method" but a generic message, and is expected to be used
e.g. if specified Transfer-Encoding is not supported. Fixed message to
match RFC 2616.
Additionally, disable keepalive on such errors as we won't be able to read
request body correctly if we don't understand Transfer-Encoding used.
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.
Pending EOF might be reported on both read and write events, whichever
comes first, so check both of them.
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh), slightly modified.
If an upstream block was defined with the only server marked as
"down", e.g.
upstream u {
server 127.0.0.1:8080 down;
}
an attempt was made to contact the server despite the "down" flag.
It is believed that immediate 502 response is better in such a
case, and it's also consistent with what is currently done in case
of multiple servers all marked as "down".
Input filter might free a buffer if there is no data in it, and in case
of first buffer (used for cache header and request header, aka p->buf_to_file)
this resulted in cache corruption. Buffer memory was reused to read upstream
response before headers were written to disk.
Fix is to avoid moving pointers in ngx_event_pipe_add_free_buf() to a buffer
start if we were asked to free a buffer used by p->buf_to_file.
This fixes occasional cache file corruption, usually resulted
in "cache file ... has md5 collision" alerts.
Reported by Anatoli Marinov.
idle connections.
This behaviour is consistent with the ngx_http_set_keepalive() function and it
should decrease memory usage in some cases (especially if epoll/rtsig is used).
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.
With the "ssl_stapling_verify" commit build with old OpenSSL libraries
was broken due to incorrect prototype of the ngx_ssl_stapling() function.
One incorrect use of ngx_log_debug() instead of ngx_log_debug2() slipped in
and broke win32 build.
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 is expected to simplify configuration in a common case when OCSP
response is signed by a certificate already present in ssl_certificate
chain. This case won't need any extra trusted certificates.
This will result in better error message in case of incorrect response
from OCSP responder:
... OCSP responder sent invalid "Content-Type" header: "text/plain"
while requesting certificate status, responder: ...
vs.
... d2i_OCSP_RESPONSE() failed (SSL:
error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long
error:0D068066:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:bad object header
error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error)
while requesting certificate status, responder: ...
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).
The SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() is only available as an API
function in OpenSSL 0.9.8+, require it explicitly to unbreak build
with OpenSSL 0.9.7.
Previous code used sk_SSL_COMP_delete(ssl_comp_methods, i) while iterating
stack from 0 to n, resulting in removal of only even compression methods.
In real life this change is a nop, as there is only one compression method
which is enabled by default in OpenSSL.
This fixes unwanted/incorrect cpu_affinity use on dead worker processes
respawn. While this is not ideal, it's expected to be better when previous
situation where multiple processes were spawn with identical CPU affinity
set.

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.
The preallocation size was calculated incorrectly and was always 8 due to
sizeof(ngx_radix_tree_t) accidentally used instead of sizeof(ngx_radix_node_t).
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.
We don't have strong reason to inform about any errors
reported by close() call here, and there are no other things
to do with its return value.
Prodded by Coverity.
The only thing we could potentially do here in case of error
returned is to complain to error log, but we don't have log
structure available here due to interface limitations.

If ngx_time_sigsafe_update() updated only ngx_cached_err_log_time, and
then clock was adjusted backwards, the cached_time[slot].sec might
accidentally match current seconds on next ngx_time_update() call,
resulting in various cached times not being updated.
Fix is to clear the cached_time[slot].sec to explicitly mark cached times
are stale and need updating.
There is a general consensus that this change results in better
consistency between different operating systems and differently
tuned operating systems.
Note: this changes the width and meaning of the ipv6only field
of the ngx_listening_t structure. 3rd party modules that create
their own listening sockets might need fixing.
Hide headers and pass headers arrays might not be inherited correctly
into a nested location, e.g. in configuration like
server {
proxy_hide_header X-Foo;
location / {
location /nested/ {
proxy_pass_header X-Pad;
}
}
}
the X-Foo header wasn't hidden in the location /nested/.

If ngx_spawn_process() failed while starting a process, the process
handle was closed but left non-NULL in the ngx_processes[] array.
The handle later was used in WaitForMultipleObjects() (if there
were multiple worker processes configured and at least one worker
process was started successfully), resulting in infinite loop.

the end (closes#187). Failure to do so could result in several listen
sockets to be created instead of only one listening on wildcard address.

It allows to disable generation of nginx's own entity tags, while
still handling ETags in cache properly. This may be useful e.g.
if one want to serve static files from servers with different ETag
generation algorithms.
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.
HP-UX needs _HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API to be defined to be able to
use various POSIX versions of networking functions. Notably sendmsg()
resulted in "sendmsg() failed (9: Bad file number)" alerts without it.
See xopen_networking(7) for more details.
Poll event method needs ngx_cycle->files to work, and use of ngx_exit_cycle
without files set caused null pointer dereference in resolver's cleanup
on udp socket close.
With previous code wildcard names were added to hash even if conflict
was detected. This resulted in identical names in hash and segfault
later in ngx_hash_wildcard_init().
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
If sending a DNS request fails with an error (e.g., when mistakenly trying
to send it to a local IP broadcast), such a request is not deleted if there
are clients waiting on it. However, it was still erroneously removed from
the queue. Later ngx_resolver_cleanup_tree() attempted to remove it from
the queue again that resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.
There are too many problems with special NTFS streams, notably "::$data",
"::$index_allocation" and ":$i30:$index_allocation".
For now we don't reject all URIs with ":" like Apache does as there are no
good reasons seen yet, and there are multiple programs using it in URLs
(e.g. MediaWiki).
Windows treats "/directory./" identical to "/directory/". Do the same
when working on Windows. Note that the behaviour is different from one
with last path component (where multiple spaces and dots are ignored by
Windows).
This includes trailings dots and spaces, NTFS streams (and short names, as
previously checked). The checks are now also done in ngx_file_info(), thus
allowing to use the "try_files" directive to protect external scripts.
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.
If the "proxy_cookie_domain" or "proxy_cookie_path" directive is used and there
are no matches in Set-Cookie header then ngx_http_proxy_rewrite_cookie() returns
NGX_DECLINED to indicate that the header was not rewritten. Returning this value
further from the upstream headers copy handler resulted in 500 error response.
See here for report:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2012-May/033858.html
If variable was indexed in previous configuration but not in current
one, the NGX_HTTP_VAR_INDEXED flag was left set and confused
ngx_http_get_variable().
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh), slightly modified.
Example configuration to reproduce:
location /image/ {
error_page 415 = /zero;
image_filter crop 100 100;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_store on;
}
location /zero {
return 204;
}
The problem appeared if upstream returned (big enough) non-image file,
causing 415 to be generated by image filter.
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;
On input it takes an original address, string in the X-Forwarded-For format
and its length, list of trusted proxies, and a flag indicating to perform
the recursive search. On output it returns NGX_OK and the "deepest" valid
address in a chain, or NGX_DECLINED. It supports AF_INET and AF_INET6.
Additionally, original address and/or proxy may be specified as AF_UNIX.
Due to weight being set to 0 for down peers, order of peers after sorting
wasn't the same as without the "down" flag (with down peers at the end),
resulting in client rebalancing for clients on other servers. The only
rebalancing which should happen after adding "down" to a server is one
for clients on the server.
The problem was introduced in r1377 (which fixed endless loop by setting
weight to 0 for down servers). The loop is no longer possible with new
smooth algorithm, so preserving original weight is safe.
For edge case weights like { 5, 1, 1 } we now produce { a, a, b, a, c, a, a }
sequence instead of { c, b, a, a, a, a, a } produced previously.
Algorithm is as follows: on each peer selection we increase current_weight
of each eligible peer by its weight, select peer with greatest current_weight
and reduce its current_weight by total number of weight points distributed
among peers.
In case of { 5, 1, 1 } weights this gives the following sequence of
current_weight's:
a b c
0 0 0 (initial state)
5 1 1 (a selected)
-2 1 1
3 2 2 (a selected)
-4 2 2
1 3 3 (b selected)
1 -4 3
6 -3 4 (a selected)
-1 -3 4
4 -2 5 (c selected)
4 -2 -2
9 -1 -1 (a selected)
2 -1 -1
7 0 0 (a selected)
0 0 0
To preserve weight reduction in case of failures the effective_weight
variable was introduced, which usually matches peer's weight, but is
reduced temporarily on peer failures.
This change also fixes loop with backup servers and proxy_next_upstream
http_404 (ticket #47), and skipping alive upstreams in some cases if there
are multiple dead ones (ticket #64).
With r->filter_finalize set the ngx_http_finalize_connection() wasn't
called from ngx_http_finalize_request() called with NGX_OK, resulting in
r->main->count not being decremented, thus causing request hang in some
rare situations.
See here for more details:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2012-May/002190.html
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh).
If we already had CNAME in resolver node (i.e. rn->cnlen and rn->u.cname
set), and got additional response with A record, it resulted in rn->cnlen
set and rn->u.cname overwritten by rn->u.addr (or rn->u.addrs), causing
segmentation fault later in ngx_resolver_free_node() on an attempt to free
overwritten rn->u.cname. The opposite (i.e. CNAME got after A) might cause
similar problems as well.
In case of EMFILE/ENFILE returned from accept() we disable accept events,
and (in case of no accept mutex used) arm timer to re-enable them later.
With accept mutex we just drop it, and rely on normal accept mutex handling
to re-enable accept events once it's acquired again.
As we now handle errors in question, logging level was changed to "crit"
(instead of "alert" used for unknown errors).
Note: the code might call ngx_enable_accept_events() multiple times if
there are many listen sockets. The ngx_enable_accept_events() function was
modified to check if connection is already active (via c->read->active) and
skip it then, thus making multiple calls safe.
The following code resulted in incorrect escaping of uri and possible
segfault:
location / {
rewrite ^(.*) $1?c=$1;
return 200 "$uri";
}
If there were arguments in a rewrite's replacement string, and length was
actually calculated (due to duplicate captures as in the example above,
or variables present), the is_args flag was set and incorrectly copied
after length calculation. This resulted in escaping applied to the uri part
of the replacement, resulting in incorrect escaping. Additionally, buffer
was allocated without escaping expected, thus this also resulted in buffer
overrun and possible segfault.
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.
On internal redirects this happens via ngx_http_handler() call, which is
not called on named location redirect. As a result incorrect write handler
remained (if previously set) and this might cause incorrect behaviour (likely
request hang).
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh).
If name passed for resolution was { 0, NULL } (e.g. as a result
of name server returning CNAME pointing to ".") pointer wrapped
to (void *) -1 resulting in segmentation fault on an attempt to
dereference it.
Reported by Lanshun Zhou.
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.
The problem occured if first uri in try_files was shorter than request uri,
resulting in reserve being 0 and hence allocation skipped. The bug was
introduced in r4584 (1.1.19).
Instead of checking if there is events{} section present in configuration
in init_module handler we now do the same in init_conf handler. This
allows master process to detect incorrect configuration early and
reject it.
We now stop on IOV_MAX iovec entries only if we are going to add new one,
i.e. next buffer can't be coalesced into last iovec.
This also fixes incorrect checks for trailer creation on FreeBSD and
Mac OS X, header.nelts was checked instead of trailer.nelts.
The "complete" flag wasn't cleared on loop iteration start, resulting in
broken behaviour if there were more than IOV_MAX buffers and first
iteration was fully completed (and hence the "complete" flag was set
to 1).
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).
Integer overflow is undefined behaviour in C and this indeed caused
problems on Solaris/SPARC (at least in some cases). Fix is to
subtract unsigned integers instead, and then cast result to a signed
one, which is implementation-defined behaviour and used to work.
Strictly speaking, we should compare (unsigned) result with the maximum
value of the corresponding signed integer type instead, this will be
defined behaviour. This will require much more changes though, and
considered to be overkill for now.
Such upstreams cause CPU hog later in the code as number of peers isn't
expected to be 0. Currently this may happen either if there are only backup
servers defined in an upstream block, or if server with ipv6 address used
in an upstream block.
