If c->read->ready was reset, but later some data were read from a socket
buffer due to a call to ngx_ssl_recv(), the c->read->ready flag should
be restored if not all data were read from OpenSSL buffers (as kernel
won't notify us about the data anymore).
More details are available here:

In order to support key rollover, ssl_session_ticket_key can be defined
multiple times. The first key will be used to issue and resume Session
Tickets, while the rest will be used only to resume them.
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/current.key;
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/prev-1h.key;
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/prev-2h.key;
Please note that nginx supports Session Tickets even without explicit
configuration of the keys and this feature should be only used in setups
where SSL traffic is distributed across multiple nginx servers.

The timeout set is used by OpenSSL as a hint for clients in TLS Session
Tickets. Previous code resulted in a default timeout (5m) used for TLS
Sessions Tickets if there was no session cache configured.
Prodded by Piotr Sikora.
The SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() may leave errors in the error queue
while returning success (e.g. if there are duplicate certificates in the file
specified), resulting in "ignoring stale global SSL error" alerts later
at runtime.
Several warnings silenced, notably (ngx_socket_t) -1 is now checked
on socket operations instead of -1, as ngx_socket_t is unsigned on win32
and gcc complains on comparison.
With this patch, it's now possible to compile nginx using mingw gcc,
with options we normally compile on win32.
Several false positive warnings silenced, notably W8012 "Comparing
signed and unsigned" (due to u_short values promoted to int), and
W8072 "Suspicious pointer arithmetic" (due to large type values added
to pointers).
With this patch, it's now again possible to compile nginx using bcc32,
with options we normally compile on win32 minus ipv6 and ssl.
While ngx_get_full_name() might have a bit more descriptive arguments,
the ngx_conf_full_name() is generally easier to use when parsing
configuration and limits exposure of cycle->prefix / cycle->conf_prefix
details.
With previous code the p->temp_file->offset wasn't adjusted if a temp
file was written by the code in ngx_event_pipe_write_to_downstream()
after an EOF, resulting in cache not being used with empty scgi and uwsgi
responses with Content-Length set to 0.
Fix it to call ngx_event_pipe_write_chain_to_temp_file() there instead
of calling ngx_write_chain_to_temp_file() directly.
On Linux, sockaddr length is required to process unix socket addresses properly
due to unnamed sockets (which don't have sun_path set at all) and abstract
namespace sockets.
Use of accept mutex on win32 may result in a deadlock if there are multiple
worker_processes configured and the mutex is grabbed by a process which
can't accept connections.
Due to a bad argument list, nginx worker would crash (SIGSEGV) while
trying to log the fact that it received OCSP response with "revoked"
or "unknown" certificate status.
While there, fix similar (but non-crashing) error a few lines above.

We generate both read and write events if an error event was returned by
port_getn() without POLLIN/POLLOUT, but we should not try to handle inactive
events, they may even have no handler.
Stale write event may happen if read and write events was reported both,
and processing of the read event closed descriptor.
In practice this might result in "sendfilev() failed (134: ..." or
"writev() failed (134: ..." errors when switching to next upstream server.
See report here:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2013-April/038421.html
Problems with setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY) and setsockopt(TCP_NOPUSH), as well
as sendfile() syscall on Solaris, are specific to UNIX-domain sockets.
Other address families, i.e. AF_INET and AF_INET6, are fine.
And corresponding variable $connections_waiting was added.
Previously, waiting connections were counted as the difference between
active connections and the sum of reading and writing connections.
That made it impossible to count more than one request in one connection
as reading or writing (as is the case for SPDY).
Also, we no longer count connections in handshake state as waiting.
In case of fully populated SSL session cache with no memory left for
new allocations, ngx_ssl_new_session() will try to expire the oldest
non-expired session and retry, but only in case when slab allocation
fails for "cached_sess", not when slab allocation fails for either
"sess_id" or "id", which can happen for number of reasons and results
in new session not being cached.
Patch fixes this by adding retry logic to "sess_id" & "id" allocations.
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
Missing calls to ngx_handle_write_event() and ngx_handle_read_event()
resulted in a CPU hog during SSL handshake if an level-triggered event
method (e.g. select) was used.
According to documentation, calling SSL_write() with num=0 bytes to be sent
results in undefined behavior.
We don't currently call ngx_ssl_send_chain() with empty chain and buffer.
This check handles the case of a chain with total data size that is
a multiple of NGX_SSL_BUFSIZE, and with the special buffer at the end.
In practice such cases resulted in premature connection close and critical
error "SSL_write() failed (SSL:)" in the error log.
A POLLERR signalled by poll() without POLLIN/POLLOUT, as seen on
Linux, would generate both read and write events, but there's no
write event handler for resolver events. A fix is to only call
event handler of an active event.
The patch saves one EC_KEY_generate_key() call per server{} block by
informing OpenSSL about SSL_OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE we are going to use before
the SSL_CTX_set_tmp_ecdh() call.
For a configuration file with 10k simple server{} blocks with SSL enabled
this change reduces startup time from 18s to 5s on a slow test box here.
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.

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.
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.
