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.

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.
