Dependency on cache settings existed prior to 2728c4e4a9ae (0.8.44)
as Set-Cookie header was automatically hidden from responses when
using cache. This is no longer the case, and hide_headers_hash can
be safely inherited regardless of cache settings.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-http_ssl_module" configure option into nginx binary compiled
with it, and vice versa (if a module doesn't use ssl-specific functions),
assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-file-aio" configure option into nginx binary compiled with it,
and vice versa, assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-threads" configure option into nginx binary compiled with it,
and vice versa (if a module does not use thread-specific functions),
assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.
It is used at least by SOAP (M-POST method, defined by RFC 2774) and
by WebDAV versioning (VERSION-CONTROL and BASELINE-CONTROL methods,
defined by RFC 3253).
Duplicate processing was possible if the address set by realip was
listed in set_realip_from, and there was an internal redirect so module
context was cleared. This resulted in exactly the same address being set,
so this wasn't a problem before the $realip_remote_addr variable was
introduced, though now results in incorrect $realip_remote_addr being
picked.
Fix is to use ngx_http_realip_get_module_ctx() to look up module context
even if it was cleared. Additionally, the order of checks was switched to
check the configuration first as it looks more effective.
The new parameters "manager_files", "manager_sleep"
and "manager_threshold" were added to proxy_cache_path
and friends.
Note that ngx_path_manager_pt was changed to return ngx_msec_t
instead of time_t (API change).
When the last_buf flag is cleared for add_after_body to append more data from a
subrequest, other filters may still have buffered data, which should be flushed
at this point. For example, the sub_filter may have a partial match buffered,
which will only be flushed after the subrequest is done, ending up with
interleaved data in output.
Setting last_in_chain instead of last_buf flushes the data and fixes the order
of output buffers.
The last_buf flag should only be set in the last buffer of the main request.
Otherwise, several last_buf flags can appear in output. This can, for example,
break the chunked filter, which will include several final chunks in output.
The IPV6_V6ONLY macro is now checked only while parsing appropriate flag
and when using the macro.
The ipv6only field in listen structures is always initialized to 1,
even if not supported on a given platform. This is expected to prevent
a module compiled without IPV6_V6ONLY from accidentally creating dual
sockets if loaded into main binary with proper IPV6_V6ONLY support.
It is to be used as a bitmask with various bits set/reset when appropriate.
Any bit set means that the peer should not be used, that is, exactly what
current checks do, no additional changes required.
Previously flags passed by --with-ld-opt were not used when building perl
module, which meant hardening flags provided by package build systems were not
applied.
All the errors that prevent loading configuration must be printed on the "emerg"
log level. Previously, nginx might silently fail to load configuration in some
cases as the default log level is "error".
Previously, the realip module could be left with uninitialized context after an
error in the ngx_http_realip_set_addr() function. That context could be later
accessed by $realip_remote_addr and $realip_remote_port variable handlers.
If the range includes two or more /16 networks and does
not start at the /16 boundary, the last subrange was not
removed (see 91cff7f97a50 for details).
Unlike $upstream_response_length that only counts the body size,
the new variable also counts the size of response header and data
received after switching protocols when proxying WebSockets.
If PCRE is disabled, captures were treated as normal variables in
ngx_http_script_compile(), while code calculating flushes array length in
ngx_http_compile_complex_value() did not account captures as variables.
This could lead to write outside of the array boundary when setting
last element to -1.

It fixes potential connection leak if some unsent data was left in the SSL
buffer. Particularly, that could happen when a client canceled the stream
after the HEADERS frame has already been created. In this case no other
frames might be produced and the HEADERS frame alone didn't flush the buffer.
Checking for return value of c->send_chain() isn't sufficient since there
are data can be left in the SSL buffer. Now the wew->ready flag is used
instead.
In particular, this fixed a connection leak in cases when all streams were
closed, but there's still some data to be sent in the SSL buffer and the
client forgot about the connection.
Particularly this fixes alerts on OS X and NetBSD systems when HTTP/2 is
configured over plain TCP sockets.
On these systems calling writev() with no data leads to EINVAL errors
being logged as "writev() failed (22: Invalid argument) while processing
HTTP/2 connection".
Previously, if the worker process exited, GOAWAY was sent to connections in
idle state, but connections with active streams were closed without GOAWAY.
On non-aligned platforms, properly cast argument before left-shifting it in
ngx_http_v2_parse_uint32 that is used with u_char. Otherwise it propagates
to int to hold the value and can step over the sign bit. Usually, on known
compilers, this results in negation. Furthermore, a subsequent store into a
wider type, that is ngx_uint_t on 64-bit platforms, results in sign-extension.
In practice, this can be observed in debug log as a very large exclusive bit
value, when client sent PRIORITY frame with exclusive bit set:
: *14 http2 PRIORITY frame sid:5 on 1 excl:8589934591 weight:17
