On Linux, the rename syscall can be slow due to a global file system lock,
acquired for the entire rename operation, unless both old and new files are
in the same directory. To address this temporary files are now created
in the same directory as the expected resulting cache file when using the
"use_temp_path=off" parameter.
This change mostly reverts 99639bfdfa2a and 3281de8142f5, restoring the
behaviour as of a9138c35120d (with minor changes).
Holding a cache node lock doesn't make sense as we can't use caching
anyway, and results in "ignore long locked inactive cache entry" alerts
if a node is locked for a long time.
The same is done for unbuffered connections, as they can be alive for
a long time as well.
It configures a threshold in bytes, above which client range
requests are not cached. In such a case the client's Range
header is passed directly to a proxied server.
As the pointer to the first argument was tested instead of the argument
itself, array of arguments was always created, even if there were no
arguments. Fix is to test args[0] instead of args.

The only thing that default_port comparison did in the current
code is prevented implicit upstreams to the same address/port
from being aliased for http and https, e.g.:
proxy_pass http://10.0.0.1:12345;
proxy_pass https://10.0.0.1:12345;
This is inconsistent because it doesn't work for a similar case
with uswgi_pass:
uwsgi_pass uwsgi://10.0.0.1:12345;
uwsgi_pass suwsgi://10.0.0.1:12345;
or with an explicit upstream:
upstream u {
server 10.0.0.1:12345;
}
proxy_pass http://u;
proxy_pass https://u;
Before c9059bd5445b, default_port comparison was needed to
differentiate implicit upstreams in
proxy_pass http://example.com;
and
proxy_pass https://example.com;
as u->port was not set.
When an upstream{} block follows a proxy_pass reference to it,
such an upstream inherited port and default_port settings from
proxy_pass. This was different from when they came in another
order (see ticket #1059). Explicit upstreams should not have
port and default_port in any case.
This fixes the following case:
server { location / { proxy_pass http://u; } ... }
upstream u { server 127.0.0.1; }
server { location / { proxy_pass https://u; } ... }
but not the following:
server { location / { proxy_pass http://u; } ... }
server { location / { proxy_pass https://u; } ... }
upstream u { server 127.0.0.1; }
If proxy_pass (and friends) with variables evaluates an upstream
specified with literal address, nginx always created a per-request
upstream.
Now, if there's a matching upstream specified in the configuration
(either implicit or explicit), it will be used instead.
This fixes inconsistency in what is stored in the "host" field.
Normally it would contain the "host" part of the parsed URL
(e.g., proxy_pass with variables), but for the case of an
implicit upstream specified with literal address it contained
the text representation of the socket address (that is, host
including port for IP).
Now the "host" field always contains the "host" part of the URL,
while the text representation of the socket address is stored
in the newly added "name" field.
The ngx_http_upstream_create_round_robin_peer() function was
modified accordingly in a way to be compatible with the code
that does not know about the new "name" field.
The "stream" code was similarly modified except for not adding
compatibility in ngx_stream_upstream_create_round_robin_peer().
This change is also a prerequisite for the next change.
The new directive "http2_max_requests" is introduced. From users point of
view it works quite similar to "keepalive_requests" but has significantly
bigger default value that is more suitable for HTTP/2.
This allows to correctly parse "start" and "end" arguments without
null-termination (ticket #475), and also fixes rounding errors observed
with strtod() when using i387 instructions.
Originally, the variables kept a result of X509_NAME_oneline(),
which is, according to the official documentation, a legacy
function. It produces a non standard output form and has
various quirks and inconsistencies.
The RFC2253 compliant behavior is introduced for these variables.
The original variables are available through $ssl_client_s_dn_legacy
and $ssl_client_i_dn_legacy.
Previously, while shutting down gracefully, the HTTP/2 connections were
closed in transition to idle state after all active streams have been
processed. That might never happen if the client continued opening new
streams.
Now, nginx sends GOAWAY to all HTTP/2 connections and ignores further
attempts to open new streams. A worker process will quit as soon as
processing of already opened streams is finished.
BoringSSL changed SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() to be a real function
with a (const char *) argument, so it now triggers a warning due to
conversion from (u_char *). Added an explicit cast to silence the
warning.

This is needed to allow TLS client certificate auth to work. With
ssl_verify_client configured, the auth daemon can choose to allow the
connection to proceed based on the certificate data.
This has been tested with Thunderbird for IMAP only. I've not yet found a
client that will do client certificate auth for POP3 or SMTP, and the method is
not really documented anywhere that I can find. That said, its simple enough
that the way I've done is probably right.
When headers are set at the "http" level and not redefined in
a server block, we now preserve conf->headers into the "http"
section configuration to inherit it to all servers.
The same applies to conf->headers_cache, though it may not be effective
if no servers use cache at the "server" level as conf->headers_cache
is only initialized if cache is enabled on a given level.
Similar changes made in fastcgi/scgi/uwsgi to preserve conf->params
and conf->params_cache.
When headers to hide are set at the "http" level and not redefined in
a server block, we now preserve compiled headers hash into the "http"
section configuration to inherit this hash to all servers.
Dependency on cache settings existed prior to 2728c4e4a9ae (0.8.44)
as Set-Cookie header was automatically hidden from responses when
using cache. This is no longer the case, and hide_headers_hash can
be safely inherited regardless of cache settings.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-http_ssl_module" configure option into nginx binary compiled
with it, and vice versa (if a module doesn't use ssl-specific functions),
assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-file-aio" configure option into nginx binary compiled with it,
and vice versa, assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-threads" configure option into nginx binary compiled with it,
and vice versa (if a module does not use thread-specific functions),
assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
It is used at least by SOAP (M-POST method, defined by RFC 2774) and
by WebDAV versioning (VERSION-CONTROL and BASELINE-CONTROL methods,
defined by RFC 3253).
Previously, user access bits were always set to "rw" unconditionally,
even with "user:r" explicitly specified. With this change we only add
default user access bits (0600) if they weren't set explicitly.
Duplicate processing was possible if the address set by realip was
listed in set_realip_from, and there was an internal redirect so module
context was cleared. This resulted in exactly the same address being set,
so this wasn't a problem before the $realip_remote_addr variable was
introduced, though now results in incorrect $realip_remote_addr being
picked.
Fix is to use ngx_http_realip_get_module_ctx() to look up module context
even if it was cleared. Additionally, the order of checks was switched to
check the configuration first as it looks more effective.
The new parameters "manager_files", "manager_sleep"
and "manager_threshold" were added to proxy_cache_path
and friends.
Note that ngx_path_manager_pt was changed to return ngx_msec_t
instead of time_t (API change).
Explicit checks for OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER replaced with checks
for X509_CHECK_FLAG_ALWAYS_CHECK_SUBJECT, thus allowing X509_check_host()
to be used with other libraries. In particular, X509_check_host() was
introduced in LibreSSL 2.5.0.
IPv6 now compiled-in automatically if support is found. If there is a need
to disable it for some reason, --with-cc-opt="-DNGX_HAVE_INET6=0" can be used
for this.
