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.
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.
Uninitialized pointer may result in arbitrary segfaults if access_log is used
without buffer and without variables in file path.
Patch by Tatsuhiko Kubo (ticket #268).
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.
The crypt_r() function returns NULL on errors, check it explicitly instead
of assuming errno will remain 0 if there are no errors (per POSIX, the
setting of errno after a successful call to a function is unspecified
unless the description of that function specifies that errno shall not
be modified).
Additionally, dropped unneeded ngx_set_errno(0) and fixed error handling
of memory allocation after normal crypt(), which was inapropriate and
resulted in null pointer dereference on allocation failures.
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.
This includes "debug_connection", upstreams, "proxy_pass", etc.
(ticket #92)
To preserve compatibility, "listen" specified with a domain name
selects the first IPv4 address, if available. If not available,
the first IPv6 address will be used (ticket #186).
The URL parsing code is not expected to initialize port from default port
when in "no_resolve" mode. This got broken in r4671 for the case of IPv6
literals.
The ngx_write_fd() and ngx_read_fd() functions return -1 in case of error,
so the incorrect comparison with NGX_FILE_ERROR (which is 0 on windows
platforms) might result in inaccurate error message in the error log.
Also the ngx_errno global variable is being set only if the returned value
is -1.
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.

On Mac OS X system toolchain by default prefers include files
from /usr/local/include, but libraries from /usr/lib. This might result in
various problems, in particular the one outlined below.
If the PCRE library is installed into /usr/local/, this results in pcre.h
being used from /usr/local/include (with PCRE_CONFIG_JIT defined), but
libpcre from /usr/lib (as shipped with the OS, without pcre_free_study()
symbol). As a result build fails as we use pcre_free_study() function
if we try to compile with PCRE JIT support.
Obvious workaround is to the root cause is to ask compiler to prefer
library from /usr/local/lib via ./configure --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib".
On the other hand, in any case it would be good to check if the function
we are going to use is available, hence the change.
