All values are prefixed with name and separated from it using colon.
Multiple values are listed without commas in between.
Rationale: this greatly simplifies log parsing for analysis.
For application level packets, only every second packet is now acknowledged,
respecting max ack delay.
13.2.1 Sending ACK Frames
In order to assist loss detection at the sender, an endpoint SHOULD
generate and send an ACK frame without delay when it receives an ack-
eliciting packet either:
* when the received packet has a packet number less than another
ack-eliciting packet that has been received, or
* when the packet has a packet number larger than the highest-
numbered ack-eliciting packet that has been received and there are
missing packets between that packet and this packet.
13.2.2. Acknowledgement Frequency
A receiver SHOULD send an ACK frame after receiving at least two
ack-eliciting packets.
In some cases it might be needed to reject SSL handshake based on SNI
server name provided, for example, to make sure an invalid certificate
is not returned to clients trying to contact a name-based virtual server
without SSL configured. Previously, a "ssl_ciphers aNULL;" was used for
this. This workaround, however, is not compatible with TLSv1.3, in
particular, when using BoringSSL, where it is not possible to configure
TLSv1.3 ciphers at all.
With this change, the ssl_reject_handshake directive is introduced,
which instructs nginx to reject SSL handshakes with an "unrecognized_name"
alert in a particular server block.
For example, to reject handshake with names other than example.com,
one can use the following configuration:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_reject_handshake on;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key example.com.key;
}
The following configuration can be used to reject all SSL handshakes
without SNI server name provided:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_reject_handshake on;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name ~^;
ssl_certificate example.crt;
ssl_certificate_key example.key;
}
Additionally, the ssl_reject_handshake directive makes configuring
certificates for the default server block optional. If no certificates
are configured in the default server for a given listening socket,
certificates must be defined in all non-default server blocks with
the listening socket in question.
Similarly to ssl_conf_command, proxy_ssl_conf_command can be used to
set arbitrary OpenSSL configuration parameters as long as nginx is
compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, when connecting to upstream
servers with SSL. Full list of available configuration commands
can be found in the SSL_CONF_cmd manual page
(https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html).
Similarly to ssl_conf_command, proxy_ssl_conf_command (grpc_ssl_conf_command,
uwsgi_ssl_conf_command) can be used to set arbitrary OpenSSL configuration
parameters as long as nginx is compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later,
when connecting to upstream servers with SSL. Full list of available
configuration commands can be found in the SSL_CONF_cmd manual page
(https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html).
With the ssl_conf_command directive it is now possible to set
arbitrary OpenSSL configuration parameters as long as nginx is compiled
with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later. Full list of available configuration
commands can be found in the SSL_CONF_cmd manual page
(https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html).
In particular, this allows configuring PrioritizeChaCha option
(ticket #1445):
ssl_conf_command Options PrioritizeChaCha;
It can be also used to configure TLSv1.3 ciphers in OpenSSL,
which fails to configure them via the SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list()
interface (ticket #1529):
ssl_conf_command Ciphersuites TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256;
Configuration commands are applied after nginx own configuration
for SSL, so they can be used to override anything set by nginx.
Note though that configuring OpenSSL directly with ssl_conf_command
might result in a behaviour nginx does not expect, and should be
done with care.
With this change, it is now possible to use ngx_conf_merge_ptr_value()
to merge keyval arrays. This change actually follows much earlier
changes in ngx_conf_merge_ptr_value() and ngx_conf_set_str_array_slot()
in 1452:cd586e963db0 (0.6.10) and 1701:40d004d95d88 (0.6.22).
To preserve compatibility with existing 3rd party modules, both NULL
and NGX_CONF_UNSET_PTR are accepted for now.
13.2.4. Limiting Ranges by Tracking ACK Frames
When a packet containing an ACK frame is sent, the largest
acknowledged in that frame may be saved. When a packet containing an
ACK frame is acknowledged, the receiver can stop acknowledging
packets less than or equal to the largest acknowledged in the sent
ACK frame.
The history of acknowledged packet is kept in send context as ranges.
Up to NGX_QUIC_MAX_RANGES ranges is stored.
As a result, instead of separate ack frames, single frame with ranges
is sent.
Per draft-ietf-quic-transport-32 on the topic:
: Similarly, a server MUST expand the payload of all UDP datagrams carrying
: ack-eliciting Initial packets to at least the smallest allowed maximum
: datagram size of 1200 bytes.
The history of acknowledged packet is kept in send context as ranges.
Up to NGX_QUIC_MAX_RANGES ranges is stored.
As a result, instead of separate ack frames, single frame with ranges
is sent.
Previously, if there were multiple limits configured, errors in
ngx_http_complex_value() during processing of a non-first limit
resulted in reference count leak in shared memory nodes of already
processed limits. Fix is to explicity unlock relevant nodes, much
like we do when rejecting requests.
The proxy_smtp_auth directive instructs nginx to authenticate users
on backend via the AUTH command (using the PLAIN SASL mechanism),
similar to what is normally done for IMAP and POP3.
If xclient is enabled along with proxy_smtp_auth, the XCLIENT command
won't try to send the LOGIN parameter.
In 7717:e3e8b8234f05, the 1st bit was incorrectly used. It shouldn't
be used for bitmask values, as it is used by NGX_CONF_BITMASK_SET.
Additionally, special value "off" added to make it possible to clear
inherited userid_flags value.
The "false" parameter of the proxy_redirect directive is deprecated.
Warning has been emitted since c2230102df6f (0.7.54).
The "off" parameter of the proxy_redirect, proxy_cookie_domain, and
proxy_cookie_path directives tells nginx not to inherit the
configuration from the previous configuration level.
Previously, after specifying the directive with the "off" parameter,
any other directives were ignored, and syntax checking was disabled.
The syntax was enforced to allow either one directive with the "off"
parameter, or several directives with other parameters.
Also, specifying "proxy_redirect default foo" no longer works like
"proxy_redirect default".
Previously, this field was not set while creating a QUIC stream connection.
As a result, calling ngx_connection_local_sockaddr() led to getsockname()
bad descriptor error.
