If "upgrade-scheme" parameter is present in backend option along with
"tls" paramter, HTTP/2 :scheme pseudo header field is changed to
"https" from "http" when forwarding a request to this particular
backend. This is a workaround for a server which requests "https"
scheme on HTTP/2 connection encrypted by TLS.
Previously, the default minimum TLS version was TLSv1.1, but the
default cipher list didn't include any compatible ciphers with it.
This made handshake fail if TLSv1.1 was negotiated because there was
no shared ciphers. To make the default settings consistent, the
default minimum TLS version is now TLSv1.2.
With --ocsp-startup option, nghttpx starts accepting connections after
initial attempts to get OCSP responses finish. It does not matter
some of the attempts fail. This feature is useful if OCSP responses
must be available before accepting connections.
This commit adds wildcard path matching. If path pattern given in
backend option ends with "*", it is considered as wildcard path. "*"
must match at least one character. All paths which include wildcard
path without last "*" as prefix, and are strictly longer than wildcard
path without last "*" are matched.
This commit adds 2 new options to handle X-Forwarded-Proto header
field. The --no-add-x-forwarded-proto option makes nghttpx not to
append X-Forwarded-Proto value. The
--no-strip-incoming-x-forwarded-proto option prevents nghttpx from
stripping the header field from client.
Previously, nghttpx always strips incoming header field, and set its
own header field. This commit preserves this behaviour, and adds
additional knobs.
With --single-process option, nghttpx will run in a single process
mode where master and worker are unified into one process. nghttpx
still spawns additional process for neverbleed. In the single process
mode, signal handling is disabled.
This commit adds 2 new options to handle X-Forwarded-Proto header
field. The --add-x-forwarded-proto option makes nghttpx append
X-Forwarded-Proto value. The --strip-incoming-x-forwarded-proto
option makes nghttpx to strip the header field from client.
Previously, nghttpx always strips incoming header field, and set its
own header field. This commit changes this behaviour. Now nghttpx
does not strip, and append X-Forwarded-Proto header field by default.
The X-Forwarded-For, and Forwarded header fields are also handled in
the same way. To recover the old behaviour, use
--add-x-forwarded-proto and --strip-incoming-x-forwarded-proto
options.
Previously, nghttpx will use only one single thread inside the worker
process if --workers=1 (this is default). If --workers=N, N > 1, we
use additional threads for accepting connections, or API request
processing, etc.
With this commit, we use the same processing model for N > 1 even if N
== 1. To restore the original single thread execution mode,
--single-worker option is added. If threading is disabled
--single-worker is always true.
This commit adds configuration revision, which is considered opaque
string, and changes after reloading configuration with SIGHUP. This
revision is returned as a response to configrevision API endpoint.
This allows external application to know whether nghttpx has finished
reloading new configuration or not. Note that this revision does not
change on backendconfig API calls.
