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.
This commit removes frontend-tls parameter, and adds
redirect-if-not-tls parameter parameter to --backend option. nghttpx
now responds to the request with 308 status code to redirect the
request to https URI if frontend connection is not TLS encrypted, and
redirect-if-no-tls parameter is used in --backend option. The port
number in Location header field is 443 by default (thus omitted), but
it can be configurable using --redirect-https-port option.
If OpenSSL supports TLSv1.3, enable it by default for all applications
under src. BoringSSL can work at the moment although it does not
unlock all the features nghttpx offers. OpenSSL's TLSv1.3 support is
still WIP at the time of writing.
This commit deprecates --tls-proto-list option, and adds 2 new
options: --tls-min-proto-version and --tls-max-proto-version to
specify minimum and maximum protocol version respectively. Versions
between the two are enabled. The deprecated --tls-proto-list has
empty default value, and acts like enabling only specific protocol
versions in the range for now.
nghttp2_option_no_closed_streams controls whether closed streams are
retained or not. If nonzero is passed to that function's parameter
val, a session does not retain closed streams. It may hurt the shape
of priority tree, but can save memory.
Previously, after sending SIGUSR2 to the original master process, and
the new master process gets ready, user has to send SIGQUIT to the
original master process to shut it down gracefully. With this commit,
the new master process sends SIGQUIT to the original master process
when it is ready to serve requests, eliminating for user to send
SIGQUIT manually.
This works nicely with systemd, because now you can replace nghttpx
binary with new one by "systemctl kill -s USR2 --kill-who=main
nghttpx".
