This allows to proxy WebSockets by using configuration like this:
location /chat/ {
proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
Connection upgrade is allowed as long as it was requested by a client
via the Upgrade request header.
If fastcgi end request record was split between several network packets,
with fastcgi_keep_conn it was possible that connection was saved in incorrect
state (e.g. with padding bytes not yet read).
Checks for f->padding before state transitions make code hard to follow,
remove them and make sure we always do another loop iteration after
f->state is set to ngx_http_fastcgi_st_padding.
With fastcgi_keep_conn it was possible that connection was closed after
FCGI_STDERR record with zero padding and without any further data read yet.
This happended as f->state was set to ngx_http_fastcgi_st_padding and then
"break" happened, resulting in p->length being set to f->padding, i.e. 0
(which in turn resulted in connection close).
Fix is to make sure we continue the loop after f->state is set.
After introduction of chunked request body reading support in 1.3.9 (r4931),
the rb->bufs wasn't set if request body was fully preread while calling the
ngx_http_read_client_request_body() function.
Reported by Yichun Zhang (agentzh).
The "secure_link_secret" directive was always inherited from the outer
configuration level even when "secure_link" and "secure_link_md5" were
specified on the inner level.
Before the patch if proxy_method was specified at http{} level the code
to add trailing space wasn't executed, resulting in incorrect requests
to upstream.
The "proxy_bind", "fastcgi_bind", "uwsgi_bind", "scgi_bind" and
"memcached_bind" directives are now inherited; inherited value
can be reset by the "off" parameter. Duplicate directives are
now detected. Parameter value can now contain variables.
Upstreams created by "proxy_pass" with IP address and no port were
broken in 1.3.10, by not initializing port in u->sockaddr.
API change: ngx_parse_url() was modified to always initialize port
(in u->sockaddr and in u->port), even for the u->no_resolve case;
ngx_http_upstream() and ngx_http_upstream_add() were adopted.
Previously, "default" was equivalent to specifying 0.0.0.0/0, now
it's equivalent to specifying both 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 (if support
for IPv6 is enabled) with the same value.
The code refactored in a way to call custom handler that can do appropriate
cleanup work (if any), like flushing buffers, finishing compress streams,
finalizing connections to log daemon, etc..
Previously a new buffer was allocated for every "access_log" directive with the
same file path and "buffer=" parameters, while only one buffer per file is used.
Configurations like
location /i/ {
image_filter resize 200 200;
image_filter rotate 180;
location /i/foo/ {
image_filter resize 200 200;
}
}
resulted in rotation incorrectly applied in the location /i/foo, without
any way to clear it. Fix is to handle conf->angle/conf->acv consistently
with other filter variables and do not try to inherit them if there are
transformations defined for current location.
The image_filter_jpeg_quality, image_filter_sharpen and "image_filter rotate"
were inherited incorrectly if a directive with variables was defined, and
then redefined to a literal value, i.e. in configurations like
image_filter_jpeg_quality $arg_q;
location / {
image_filter_jpeg_quality 50;
}
Patch by Ian Babrou, with minor changes.
An incorrect memLevel (lower than 1) might be passed to deflateInit2() if the
"gzip_hash" directive is set to a value less than the value of "gzip_window"
directive. This resulted in "deflateInit2() failed: -2" alert and an empty
reply.
Configuration like
location / {
set $true 1;
if ($true) {
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
if ($true) {
# nothing
}
}
resulted in segmentation fault due to NULL pointer dereference as the
upstream configuration wasn't initialized in an implicit location created
by the last if(), but the r->content_handler was set due to first if().
Instead of committing a suicide by dereferencing a NULL pointer, return
500 (Internal Server Error) in such cases, i.e. if uscf is NULL. Better
fix would be to avoid such cases by fixing the "if" directive handling,
but it's out of scope of this patch.
Prodded by Piotr Sikora.
If write events are not blocked, an extra write event might happen for
various reasons (e.g. as a result of a http pipelining), resulting in
incorrect body being passed to a post handler.
The problem manifested itself with the dav module only, as this is
the only module which reads the body from a content phase handler (in
contrast to exclusive content handlers like proxy). Additionally, dav
module used to dump core in such situations due to ticket #238.
See reports here:

While discarding chunked request body in some cases after detecting
request body corruption no error was returned, while it was possible
to correctly return 400 Bad Request. If error is detected too late,
make sure to properly close connection.
Additionally, in ngx_http_special_response_handler() don't return body
of 500 Internal Server Error to a client if ngx_http_discard_request_body()
fails, but disable keepalive and continue.
Even if there is no preread data, make sure to always call
ngx_http_discard_request_body_filter() in case of chunked request
body to initialize r->headers_in.content_length_n for later use.
An attempt to call ngx_handle_read_event() before actually reading
data from a socket might result in read event being disabled, which is
wrong. Catched by body.t test on Solaris.
The r->main->count reference counter was always incremented in
ngx_http_read_client_request_body(), while it is only needs to be
incremented on positive returns.
The $request_body variable was assuming there can't be more than two
buffers. While this is currently true due to request body reading
implementation details, this is not a good thing to depend on and may
change in the future.
It is not about "Method" but a generic message, and is expected to be used
e.g. if specified Transfer-Encoding is not supported. Fixed message to
match RFC 2616.
Additionally, disable keepalive on such errors as we won't be able to read
request body correctly if we don't understand Transfer-Encoding used.
If request body reading happens with different options it's possible
that there will be no r->request_body->temp_file available (or even
no r->request_body available if body was discarded). Return internal
server error in this case instead of committing suicide by dereferencing
a null pointer.
Pending EOF might be reported on both read and write events, whichever
comes first, so check both of them.
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh), slightly modified.
If an upstream block was defined with the only server marked as
"down", e.g.
upstream u {
server 127.0.0.1:8080 down;
}
an attempt was made to contact the server despite the "down" flag.
It is believed that immediate 502 response is better in such a
case, and it's also consistent with what is currently done in case
of multiple servers all marked as "down".
Input filter might free a buffer if there is no data in it, and in case
of first buffer (used for cache header and request header, aka p->buf_to_file)
this resulted in cache corruption. Buffer memory was reused to read upstream
response before headers were written to disk.
Fix is to avoid moving pointers in ngx_event_pipe_add_free_buf() to a buffer
start if we were asked to free a buffer used by p->buf_to_file.
This fixes occasional cache file corruption, usually resulted
in "cache file ... has md5 collision" alerts.
Reported by Anatoli Marinov.
idle connections.
This behaviour is consistent with the ngx_http_set_keepalive() function and it
should decrease memory usage in some cases (especially if epoll/rtsig is used).
This parameter allows to don't require certificate to be signed by
a trusted CA, e.g. if CA certificate isn't known in advance, like in
WebID protocol.
Note that it doesn't add any security unless the certificate is actually
checked to be trusted by some external means (e.g. by a backend).
Patch by Mike Kazantsev, Eric O'Connor.
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 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).
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.
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.
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.
Hide headers and pass headers arrays might not be inherited correctly
into a nested location, e.g. in configuration like
server {
proxy_hide_header X-Foo;
location / {
location /nested/ {
proxy_pass_header X-Pad;
}
}
}
the X-Foo header wasn't hidden in the location /nested/.

the end (closes#187). Failure to do so could result in several listen
sockets to be created instead of only one listening on wildcard address.

It allows to disable generation of nginx's own entity tags, while
still handling ETags in cache properly. This may be useful e.g.
if one want to serve static files from servers with different ETag
generation algorithms.
This includes handling of ETag headers (if present in a response) with
basic support for If-Match, If-None-Match conditionals in not modified
filter.
Note that the "r->headers_out.last_modified_time == -1" check in the not
modified filter is left as is intentionally. It's to prevent handling
of If-* headers in case of proxy without cache (much like currently
done with If-Modified-Since).
This makes code more extendable. The only functional change is when
If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since are specified together, the
case which is explicitly left undefined by RFC 2616. The new behaviour
is to respect them both, which seems better.
If modification time isn't known, skip range processing and return full
entity body instead of just ignoring If-Range. Ignoring If-Range isn't
safe as client will assume entity wasn't changed since time specified.
The original idea was to optimize edge cases in case of interchangeable
backends, i.e. don't establish a new connection if we have any one
cached. This causes more harm than good though, as it screws up
underlying balancer's idea about backends used and may result in
various unexpected problems.
Number of entries in stsc atom was wrong if we've added an entry to
split a chunk.
Additionally, there is no need to add an entry if we are going to split
last chunk in an entry, it's enough to update the entry we already have.
Previously new entry was added and old one was left as is, resulting in
incorrect entry with zero chunks which might confuse some software.
Contains response status code as a 3-digit integer
(with leading zeroes if necessary), or one of the following values:
000 - response status code has not yet been assigned
009 - HTTP/0.9 request is being processed
There are too many problems with special NTFS streams, notably "::$data",
"::$index_allocation" and ":$i30:$index_allocation".
For now we don't reject all URIs with ":" like Apache does as there are no
good reasons seen yet, and there are multiple programs using it in URLs
(e.g. MediaWiki).
Windows treats "/directory./" identical to "/directory/". Do the same
when working on Windows. Note that the behaviour is different from one
with last path component (where multiple spaces and dots are ignored by
Windows).
Removed duplicate call of ngx_http_upstream_init_round_robin_peer()
overlooked during code changes. Rewritten "return lcp->free_rr_peer(...)"
as MSVC doesn't like it.
If the "proxy_cookie_domain" or "proxy_cookie_path" directive is used and there
are no matches in Set-Cookie header then ngx_http_proxy_rewrite_cookie() returns
NGX_DECLINED to indicate that the header was not rewritten. Returning this value
further from the upstream headers copy handler resulted in 500 error response.
See here for report:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2012-May/033858.html
If variable was indexed in previous configuration but not in current
one, the NGX_HTTP_VAR_INDEXED flag was left set and confused
ngx_http_get_variable().
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh), slightly modified.
Example configuration to reproduce:
location /image/ {
error_page 415 = /zero;
image_filter crop 100 100;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_store on;
}
location /zero {
return 204;
}
The problem appeared if upstream returned (big enough) non-image file,
causing 415 to be generated by image filter.
