Merge of r5138: use of NGX_FILE_ERROR.

2013-03-29T18:18:42+00:00

Use NGX_FILE_ERROR for handling file operations errors.

On Win32 platforms 0 is used to indicate errors in file operations, so
comparing against either -1 or NGX_OK is not portable.

This was not much of an issue in patched code, since only ngx_fd_info() test
is actually reachable on Win32 and in worst case it might result in bogus
error log entry.

Patch by Piotr Sikora.

Merge of r5133, r5134: peer.free() and peer.get() balance.

2013-03-29T18:16:27+00:00

*) Upstream: only call peer.free() if peer.get() selected a peer.

*) Upstream: removed double-free workarounds in peer.free() methods.

Merge of r5130, r5131, r5132: support for Mercurial repositories.

2013-03-29T18:09:06+00:00

*) Misc: switch to single export operation in "zip" target.

   While exporting parts of the tree might be better in some cases, it
   is awfully slow overseas, and also requires unlocking ssh key multiple
   times.  Exporting the whole repo and removing directories not needed for
   zip is faster here.

   It is also a required step before we can switch to Mercurial.

*) Misc: removed unused "snapshot" target.

*) Misc: support for Mercurial repositories.

Merge of r5129: split clients configuration parsing.

2013-03-29T17:59:41+00:00

Split clients: check length when parsing configuration.

Merge of r5127: language in a comment.

2013-03-29T17:53:47+00:00

Fixed language in a comment preceding ngx_http_index_handler().

Merge of r5117, r5123: allocation errors handing during upgrade.

2013-03-29T17:51:00+00:00

*) Core: guard against failed allocation during binary upgrade.
   Patch by Piotr Sikora.

*) Core: fixed resource leak if binary upgrade fails due to no memory.

Merge of r5113, r5114: upstream: resolve errors handling.

2013-03-29T17:34:45+00:00

Upstream: call ngx_http_run_posted_requests() on resolve errors.

If proxy_pass to a host with dynamic resolution was used to handle
a subrequest, and host resolution failed, the main request wasn't run
till something else happened on the connection.  E.g. request to "/zzz"
with the following configuration hanged:

    addition_types *;
    resolver 8.8.8.8;

    location /test {
        set $ihost xxx;
        proxy_pass http://$ihost;
    }

    location /zzz {
        add_after_body /test;
        return 200 "test";
    }

Merge of r5109, r5128: removed unused prototype and macro.

2013-03-29T17:23:36+00:00

   This function prototype and its implementation was added in r90,
   but the implementation was removed in r97.

*) Removed unused ngx_http_clear_variable() macro.

2013-03-29T17:20:59+00:00
