This commit changes nghttpx's mruby script handling. Previously we
have 2 options to specify the mruby script file to be run on request
and on response. Now they are merged into 1 option, namely
--mruby-file. It now must return object. On request, the object's
on_req(env) method is invoked with env object. Similarly, on
response, the object's on_resp(env) method is invoked. The
specification of Env object has not changed.
The control process handles signals, reads configuration, reads
private keys, and bind port (which may be privileged one). It never
drop privileges, so that it can execute new binary with the same
privilege. It forks worker process. The worker process handles all
incoming connections. It drops privilege.
To achieve host-path backend routing, we changed behaviour of
--backend-http2-connections-per-worker. It now sets the number of
HTTP/2 physical connections per pattern group if pattern is used in -b
option.
Fixes GH-292
-b option syntax is now <HOST>,<PORT>[;<PATTERN>[:...]]. The optional
<PATTERN>s specify the request host and path it is used for. The
<PATTERN> can contain path, host + path or host. The matching rule is
closely designed to ServeMux in Go programming language.
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.
When same SSL_CTX is used by multiple thread simultaneously we have to
setup some number of mutex locks for it. We could not check how this
locking affects scalability since we have 4 cores at best in our
development machine. Good side of sharing SSL_CTX across threads is
we can share session ID pool.
If --tls-ctx-per-worker is enabled, SSL_CTX is created per thread
basis and we can eliminate mutex locks. The downside is session ID is
no longer shared, which means if session ID generated by one thread
cannot be acceptable by another thread. But we have now session
ticket enabled and its keys are shared by all threads.
