Previously the preread phase code ignored NGX_AGAIN value returned from
c->recv() and relied only on c->read->ready. But this flag is not reliable and
should only be checked for optimization purposes. For example, when using
SSL, c->read->ready may be set when no input is available. This can lead to
calling preread handler infinitely in a loop.
The problem does not manifest itself currently, because in case of
non-buffered reading, chain link created by u->create_request method
consists of a single element.

The directive configures maximum number of requests allowed on
a connection kept in the cache. Once a connection reaches the number
of requests configured, it is no longer saved to the cache.
The default is 100.
Much like keepalive_requests for client connections, this is mostly
a safeguard to make sure connections are closed periodically and the
memory allocated from the connection pool is freed.
The directive configures maximum time a connection can be kept in the
cache. By configuring a time which is smaller than the corresponding
timeout on the backend side one can avoid the race between closing
a connection by the backend and nginx trying to use the same connection
to send a request at the same time.
LibreSSL 2.8.0 "added const annotations to many existing APIs from OpenSSL,
making interoperability easier for downstream applications". This includes
the const change in the SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb() callback function (see
9dd43f4ef67e), which breaks compilation.
To fix this, added a condition on how we redefine OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
when working with LibreSSL (see 382fc7069e3a). With LibreSSL 2.8.0,
we now set OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to 0x1010000fL (OpenSSL 1.1.0), so the
appropriate conditions in the code will use "const" as it happens with
OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later versions.
There are clients which cannot handle HPACK's dynamic table size updates
as added in 12cadc4669a7 (1.13.6). Notably, old versions of OkHttp library
are known to fail on it (ticket #1397).
This change makes it possible to work with such clients by only sending
dynamic table size updates in response to SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE. As
a downside, clients which do not use SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE will
continue to maintain default 4k table.
Previously, a chunk of spaces larger than NGX_CONF_BUFFER (4096 bytes)
resulted in the "too long parameter" error during parsing such a
configuration. This was because the code only set start and start_line
on non-whitespace characters, and hence adjacent whitespace characters
were preserved when reading additional data from the configuration file.
Fix is to always move start and start_line if the last character was
a space.
Early data AKA 0-RTT mode is enabled as long as "ssl_early_data on" is
specified in the configuration (default is off).
The $ssl_early_data variable evaluates to "1" if the SSL handshake
isn't yet completed, and can be used to set the Early-Data header as
per draft-ietf-httpbis-replay-04.
BoringSSL currently requires SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version(TLS1_3_VERSION)
to be able to enable TLS 1.3. This is because by default max protocol
version is set to TLS 1.2, and the SSL_OP_NO_* options are merely used
as a blacklist within the version range specified using the
SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version() and SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version()
functions.
With this change, we now call SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version() with an
explicit maximum version set. This enables TLS 1.3 with BoringSSL.
As a side effect, this change also limits maximum protocol version to
the newest protocol we know about, TLS 1.3. This seems to be a good
change, as enabling unknown protocols might have unexpected results.
Additionally, we now explicitly call SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version()
with 0. This is expected to help with Debian system-wide default
of MinProtocol set to TLSv1.2, see
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-ru/2017-October/060411.html.
Note that there is no SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version macro in BoringSSL,
so we call SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version() and SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version()
as long as the TLS1_3_VERSION macro is defined.
The behaviour is now in line with COPY of a directory with contents,
which preserves access masks on individual files, as well as the "cp"
command.

This fixes wrong permissions and file time after cross-device MOVE
in the DAV module (ticket #1577). Broken in 8101d9101ed8 (0.8.9) when
cross-device copying was introduced in ngx_ext_rename_file().
With this change, ngx_copy_file() always calls ngx_set_file_time(),
either with the time provided, or with the time from the original file.
This is considered acceptable given that copying the file is costly anyway,
and optimizing cases when we do not need to preserve time will require
interface changes.
Previously, ngx_open_file(NGX_FILE_CREATE_OR_OPEN) was used, resulting
in destination file being partially rewritten if exists. Notably,
this affected WebDAV COPY command (ticket #1576).
Previously, "%uA" was used, which corresponds to ngx_atomic_uint_t.
Size of ngx_atomic_uint_t can be easily different from uint64_t,
leading to undefined results.
In TLSv1.3, NewSessionTicket messages arrive after the handshake and
can come at any time. Therefore we use a callback to save the session
when we know about it. This approach works for < TLSv1.3 as well.
The callback function is set once per location on merge phase.
Since SSL_get_session() in BoringSSL returns an unresumable session for
TLSv1.3, peer save_session() methods have been updated as well to use a
session supplied within the callback. To preserve API, the session is
cached in c->ssl->session. It is preferably accessed in save_session()
methods by ngx_ssl_get_session() and ngx_ssl_get0_session() wrappers.
In OpenSSL 1.1.0 the SSL_CTRL_CLEAR_OPTIONS macro was removed, so
conditional compilation test on it results in SSL_clear_options()
and SSL_CTX_clear_options() not being used. Notably, this caused
"ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off" to not work in SNI-based virtual
servers if server preference was switched on in the default server.
It looks like the only possible fix is to test OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
explicitly.
Starting with OpenSSL 1.1.0, SSL_R_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL instead of
SSL_R_UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL is reported when a protocol is disabled via
an SSL_OP_NO_* option.
Additionally, SSL_R_VERSION_TOO_LOW is reported when using MinProtocol
or when seclevel checks (as set by @SECLEVEL=n in the cipher string)
rejects a protocol, and this is what happens with SSLv3 and @SECLEVEL=1,
which is the default.
There is also the SSL_R_VERSION_TOO_HIGH error code, but it looks like
it is not possible to trigger it.
There should be at least one worker connection for each listening socket,
plus an additional connection for channel between worker and master,
or starting worker processes will fail.
Previously, listenings sockets were not cloned if the worker_processes
directive was specified after "listen ... reuseport".
This also simplifies upcoming configuration check on the number
of worker connections, as it needs to know the number of listening
sockets before cloning.
The variable keeps the latest SSL protocol version supported by the client.
The variable has the same format as $ssl_protocol.
The version is read from the client_version field of ClientHello. If the
supported_versions extension is present in the ClientHello, then the version
is set to TLSv1.3.
Errors when sending UDP datagrams can happen, e.g., when local IP address
changes (see fa0e093b64d7), or an unavailable DNS server on the LAN can cause
send() to fail with EHOSTDOWN on BSD systems. If this happens during
initial query, retry sending immediately, to a different DNS server when
possible. If this is not enough, allow normal resend to happen by ignoring
the return code of the second ngx_resolver_send_query() call, much like we
do in ngx_resolver_resend().
The "http request" and "https proxy request" errors cannot happen
with HTTP due to pre-handshake checks in ngx_http_ssl_handshake(),
but can happen when SSL is used in stream and mail modules.
With gRPC it is possible that a request sending is blocked due to flow
control. Moreover, further sending might be only allowed once the
backend sees all the data we've already sent. With such a backend
it is required to clear the TCP_NOPUSH socket option to make sure all
the data we've sent are actually delivered to the backend.
As such, we now clear TCP_NOPUSH in ngx_http_upstream_send_request()
also on NGX_AGAIN if c->write->ready is set. This fixes a test (which
waits for all the 64k bytes as per initial window before allowing more
bytes) with sendfile enabled when the body was written to a file
in a different context.
Now tcp_nopush on peer connections is disabled if it is disabled on
the client connection, similar to how we handle c->sendfile. Previously,
tcp_nopush was always used on upstream connections, regardless of
the "tcp_nopush" directive.
We copy input buffers to our buffers, so various flags might be
unexpectedly set in buffers returned by ngx_chain_get_free_buf().
In particular, the b->in_file flag might be set when the body was
written to a file in a different context. With sendfile enabled this
in turn might result in protocol corruption if such a buffer was reused
for a control frame.
Make sure to clear buffers and set only fields we really need to be set.
The module implements random load-balancing algorithm with optional second
choice. In the latter case, the best of two servers is chosen, accounting
number of connections and server weight.
Example:
upstream u {
random [two [least_conn]];
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
server 127.0.0.1:8081;
server 127.0.0.1:8082;
server 127.0.0.1:8083;
}
Before 4a8c9139e579, ngx_resolver_create() didn't use configuration
pool, and allocations were done using malloc().
In 016352c19049, when resolver gained support of several servers,
new allocations were done from the pool.
With u->conf->preserve_output set the request body file might be used
after the response header is sent, so avoid cleaning it. (Normally
this is not a problem as u->conf->preserve_output is only set with
r->request_body_no_buffering, but the request body might be already
written to a file in a different context.)
