Keeping the ready flag in this case might results in missing notification of
broken connection until nginx tried to use it again.
While there, stale comment about stale event was removed since this function
is also can be called directly.
Repeatedly calling ngx_http_upstream_add_chash_point() to create
the points array in sorted order, is O(n^2) to the total weight.
This can cause nginx startup and reconfigure to be substantially
delayed. For example, when total weight is 1000, startup takes
5s on a modern laptop.
Replace this with a linear insertion followed by QuickSort and
duplicates removal. Startup for total weight of 1000 reduces to 40ms.
Based on a patch by Wai Keen Woon.
The configuration handling code has changed to look similar to the proxy_store
directive and friends. This simplifies adding variable support in the following
patch.
No functional changes.
Currently, storing and caching mechanisms cannot work together, and a
configuration error is thrown when the proxy_store and proxy_cache
directives (as well as their friends) are configured on the same level.
But configurations like in the example below were allowed and could result
in critical errors in the error log:
proxy_store on;
location / {
proxy_cache one;
}
Only proxy_store worked in this case.
For more predictable and errorless behavior these directives now prevent
each other from being inherited from the previous level.
This changes internal API related to handling of the "store"
flag in ngx_http_upstream_conf_t. Previously, a non-null value
of "store_lengths" was enough to enable store functionality with
custom path. Now, the "store" flag is also required to be set.
No functional changes.
The proxy_store, fastcgi_store, scgi_store and uwsgi_store were inherited
incorrectly if a directive with variables was defined, and then redefined
to the "on" value, i.e. in configurations like:
proxy_store /data/www$upstream_http_x_store;
location / {
proxy_store on;
}
In the following configuration request was sent to a backend without
URI changed to '/' due to if:
location /proxy-pass-uri {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
set $true 1;
if ($true) {
# nothing
}
}
Fix is to inherit conf->location from the location where proxy_pass was
configured, much like it's done with conf->vars.
The proxy_pass directive and other handlers are not expected to be inherited
into nested locations, but there is a special code to inherit upstream
handlers into limit_except blocks, as well as a configuration into if{}
blocks. This caused incorrect behaviour in configurations with nested
locations and limit_except blocks, like this:
location / {
proxy_pass http://u;
location /inner/ {
# no proxy_pass here
limit_except GET {
# nothing
}
}
}
In such a configuration the limit_except block inside "location /inner/"
unexpectedly used proxy_pass defined in "location /", while it shouldn't.
Fix is to avoid inheritance of conf->upstream.upstream (and
conf->proxy_lengths) into locations which don't have noname flag.
Instead of independant inheritance of conf->upstream.upstream (proxy_pass
without variables) and conf->proxy_lengths (proxy_pass with variables)
we now test them both and inherit only if neither is set. Additionally,
SSL context is also inherited only in this case now.
Based on the patch by Alexey Radkov.
The upstream modules remove and alter a number of client headers
before sending the request to upstream. This set of headers is
smaller or even empty when cache is disabled.
It's still possible that a request in a cache-enabled location is
uncached, for example, if cache entry counter is below min_uses.
In this case it's better to alter a smaller set of headers and
pass more client headers to backend unchanged. One of the benefits
is enabling server-side byte ranges in such requests.
Once this age is reached, the cache lock is discarded and another
request can acquire the lock. Requests which failed to acquire
the lock are not allowed to cache the response.
Previous code resulted in transfer stalls when client happened
to read all the data in buffers at once, while all gzip buffers
were exhausted (but ctx->nomem wasn't set). Make sure to call
next body filter at least once per call if there are busy buffers.
Additionally, handling of calls with NULL chain was changed to follow
the same logic, i.e., next body filter is only called with NULL chain
if there are busy buffers. This is expected to fix "output chain is empty"
alerts as reported by some users after c52a761a2029 (1.5.7).
The c->sent is reset to 0 on each request by server-side http code,
so do the same on client side. This allows to count number of bytes
sent in a particular request.
One intentional side effect of this change is that key is allowed only
in the first position. Previously, it was possible to specify the key
variable at any position, but that was never documented, and is contrary
with nginx configuration practice for positional parameters.

The new directives {proxy,fastcgi,scgi,uwsgi,memcached}_next_upstream_tries
and {proxy,fastcgi,scgi,uwsgi,memcached}_next_upstream_timeout limit
the number of upstreams tried and the maximum time spent for these tries
when searching for a valid upstream.
