The module now supports recursive search of client address through
the chain of trusted proxies, controlled by the "proxy_recursive"
directive in the "geo" block. It also gets partial IPv6 support:
now proxies may be specified with IPv6 addresses.
Example:
geo $test {
...
proxy 127.0.0.1;
proxy ::1;
proxy_recursive;
}
There's also a slight change in behavior. When original client
address (as specified by the "geo" directive) is one of the
trusted proxies, and the value of the X-Forwarded-For request
header cannot not be parsed as a valid address, an original client
address will be used for lookup. Previously, 255.255.255.255 was
used in this case.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_dav_module supports the MKCOL method.
*) Feature: the "create_full_put_path" directive.
*) Feature: the "$limit_rate" variable.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_map_module.
*) Feature: the "types_hash_max_size" and "types_hash_bucket_size"
directives.
*) Feature: the "ssi_value_length" directive.
*) Feature: the "worker_rlimit_core" directive.
*) Workaround: the connection number in logs was always 1 if nginx was
built by the icc 8.1 or 9.0 compilers with optimization for
Pentium 4.
*) Bugfix: the "config timefmt" SSI command set incorrect time format.
*) Bugfix: nginx did not close connection to IMAP/POP3 backend for the
SSL connections; the bug had appeared in 0.3.13.
Thanks to Rob Mueller.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault may occurred in at SSL shutdown; the bug
had appeared in 0.3.13.
*) Feature: the IMAP/POP3 proxy supports STARTTLS and STLS.
*) Bugfix: the IMAP/POP3 proxy did not work with the select, poll, and
/dev/poll methods.
*) Bugfix: in SSI handling.
*) Bugfix: now Solaris sendfilev() is not used to transfer the client
request body to FastCGI-server via the unix domain socket.
*) Bugfix: the "auth_basic" directive did not disable the
authorization; the bug had appeared in 0.3.11.
*) Change: the "valid_referers" directive and the "$invalid_referer"
variable were moved to the new ngx_http_referer_module from the
ngx_http_rewrite_module.
*) Change: the "$apache_bytes_sent" variable name was changed to
"$body_bytes_sent".
*) Feature: the "$sent_http_..." variables.
*) Feature: the "if" directive supports the "=" and "!=" operations.
*) Feature: the "proxy_pass" directive supports the HTTPS protocol.
*) Feature: the "proxy_set_body" directive.
*) Feature: the "post_action" directive.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_empty_gif_module.
*) Feature: the "worker_cpu_affinity" directive for Linux.
*) Bugfix: the "rewrite" directive did not unescape URI part in
redirect, now it is unescaped except the %00-%25 and %7F-%FF
characters.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by the icc 9.0 compiler.
*) Bugfix: if the SSI was enabled for zero size static file, then the
chunked response was encoded incorrectly.
