We have added "dns" parameter to backend option. If specified, name
lookup is done dynamically. If not, name lookup is done at start up,
or configuration reloading. nghttpx caches DNS result including error
case in 30 seconds in this commit. Later commit makes this
configurable.
DNS resolution is done asynchronously using c-ares library.
This option requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.2. With OpenSSL 1.0.2, the
default value is "P-256". With OpenSSL 1.1.0 or later, the default
value is "X25519:P-256".
We added --frontend-http2-window-size,
--frontend-http2-connection-window-size, --backend-http2-window-size,
and --backend-http2-connection-window-size option to replace existing
*-bits options. The old options are not flexible because they only
specify number of bits. Now we can specify integer value, with
possible g, m, and k unit. The old options are still available for
backend compatibility, but are deprecated.
std::make_shared in Xcode 7, 7.1, and 7.2 does not perform
value-initialization, and causes undefined behaviour if struct does
not have user defined default constructor. This workaround explicitly
defines user defined default constructor, and initializes values.
This commit implements configuration reloading with SIGHUP.
There are rough edges left:
* Rename SignalServer with more meaningful name, say, WorkerProcess.
* We should introduce global configuration object which is not
affected by configuration reloading. It should hold cmdcfgs, argc,
argv, and last worker PID.
* We should close the listener file descriptor when some operation was
failed after that.
Some API processing is very slow (e.g., getaddrinfo). To avoid to
slow down regular request handling, if multi threaded configuration is
enabled, we allocate dedicated worker for API.
For those connections via frontend with api parameter, they use solely
APIDownstreamConnection.
In this commit, APIDownstreamConnection just consumes all request
body, and do nothing. The next few commits implements our first API
endpoint: /v1/api/dynamicconfig.
* don't use CRYPTO_LOCK stuff (they are sorted out by openssl, and no
application intervention is required, just like boringSSL)
* don't use OPENSSL_config
* use provided API to access BIO member
The --backend-tls-sni-field is deprecated in favor of sni keyword.
--backend-tls-sni-field still works, and it overrides all sni keyword
in --backend option. But it will be removed in the future release.
