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.
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.
