It turns out that the cause of complication in backend request line
construction is a absolute-form in HTTP/1 request. In HTTP/2, we have
separated pseudo-header fields and no problem at all. In this commit,
we parse request URI in HTTP/1 frontend and extract values from it to
make backend logic simpler. This patch removes host header field
emission in HTTP/2 backend if :authority is emitted. It also rewrites
host header field with authority part in absolute-form URI as per RFC
7230.
Currently, we use same number of HTTP/2 sessions per worker with given
backend addresses. New option to specify the number of HTTP/2 session
per worker will follow.
We may later add append(const T &), where we require T for .size() and
.data(). We can coexist former append_cstr and new one. If we pass
string literal, append(const (&)[N]) is selected.
For HTTP/1 backend, -b option can be used several times to specify
multiple backend address. HTTP/2 backend does not support multiple
addresses and only uses first address even if multiple addresses are
specified.
This commit adds functionality to customize access logging format in
nghttpx. The format variables are inspired by nginx. The default
format is combined format.
Previously we empties request headers after they are sent to
downstream in order to free memory. But it turns out that we use
request headers when rewriting location header response field. Also
user reported that request headers are useful to add new features.
This commits defers the deletion of request headers to the point when
response headers are deleted (which is after response headers are sent
to upstream client).
Previously we only update consumed flow control window when number of
bytes read in nghttp2 and spdylay callback is 0. Now we notify
nghttp2 library the consumed bytes even if number of bytes read > 0.
This change also uses newly added spdylay_session_consume() API, so we
require spdylay >= 1.3.0.
nghttpx supports hot deploy feature using signals. The host deploy in
nghttpx is multi step process. First send USR2 signal to nghttpx
process. It will do fork and execute new executable, using same
command-line arguments and environment variables. At this point, both
current and new processes can accept requests. To gracefully shutdown
current process, send QUIT signal to current nghttpx process. When
all existing frontend connections are done, the current process will
exit. At this point, only new nghttpx process exists and serves
incoming requests.
This change rewrites logging system of nghttpx. Previously access log
and error log are written to stderr or syslog and there was no option
to change stderr to something else. With this change, file path of
access log and error log can be configured separately and logging to
regular file is now added. To support rotating log, if SIGUSR1 signal
is received by nghttpx, it closes the current log files and reopen it
with the same name. The format of access log is changed and has same
look of apache's. But not all columns are not supported yet.
Previously, we use evbuffer_pullup(buf, -1) to linearize the memory
region and it may cause buffer copy. To avoid this, we use the return
value of evbuffer_get_contiguous_space() as 2nd parameter. According
to the libevent manual, by doing so evbuffer_pullup() will not copy or
modify any data in evbuffer.
If SPDY or HTTP/2 ustream is used and HTTP/2 downstream is used, only
call {spdylay,nghttp2}_resume_data when complete DATA frame was read
in backend to avoid to transmit too small DATA frame to the upstream.
Now we set Downstream::set_response_connection_close(true) for
tunneled connections. Also call
Upstream::on_downstream_body_complete() callback when setting
MSG_COMPLETE in SpdySession when RST_STREAM is caught. Clean up EOF
handling in https_downstream_readcb.
With --spdy-bridge option, it listens SPDY/HTTPS connections from
front end and forwards them to the backend in SPDY. The usage will be
written later. This change fixes the crash when more than 2
outstanding SpdyDownstreamConnection objects are added to SpdySession
and establishing connection to SPDY backend is failed.
INFO log and its surrounding code are now guarded by
LOG_ENABLED(SEVERITY) macro so that they don't run if log level
threshold is higher. This increases performance because log formatting
is somewhat expensive.
Added macros which log messages from the following components are
prefixed with their component name + object pointer address:
ListenHandler: LISTEN
ThreadEventReceiver: THREAD_RECV
Upstream: UPSTREAM
Downstream: DOWNSTREAM
DownstreamConnection: DCONN
SpdySession: DSPDY
In client mode, now SPDY connection to the backend server is
established per thread. The frontend connections which belong to the
same thread share the SPDY connection.
With --client-mode option, shrpx now accepts unencrypted HTTP
connections and communicates with backend server in SPDY. In short,
this is the "reversed" operation mode against normal mode. This may
be useful for testing purpose because it can sit between HTTP client
and shrpx "normal" mode.
