The change implements processing upstream early hints response in
ngx_http_proxy_module and ngx_http_grpc_module. A new directive
"early_hints" enables sending early hints to the client. By default,
sending early hints is disabled.
Example:
map $http_sec_fetch_mode $early_hints {
navigate $http2$http3;
}
early_hints $early_hints;
proxy_pass http://example.com;
|
|
The directive sets a timeout during which a keepalive connection will
not be closed by nginx for connection reuse or graceful shutdown.
The change allows clients that send multiple requests over the same
connection without delay or with a small delay between them, to avoid
receiving a TCP RST in response to one of them. This excludes network
issues and non-graceful shutdown. As a side-effect, it also addresses
the TCP reset problem described in RFC 9112, Section 9.6, when the last
sent HTTP response could be damaged by a followup TCP RST. It is important
for non-idempotent requests, which cannot be retried by client.
It is not recommended to set keepalive_min_timeout to large values as
this can introduce an additional delay during graceful shutdown and may
restrict nginx from effective connection reuse.

When a request was terminated due to an error via ngx_http_terminate_request()
while an AIO operation was running in a subrequest, various issues were
observed. This happened because ngx_http_request_finalizer() was only set
in the subrequest where ngx_http_terminate_request() was called, but not
in the subrequest where the AIO operation was running. After completion
of the AIO operation normal processing of the subrequest was resumed, leading
to issues.
In particular, in case of the upstream module, termination of the request
called upstream cleanup, which closed the upstream connection. Attempts to
further work with the upstream connection after AIO operation completion
resulted in segfaults in ngx_ssl_recv(), "readv() failed (9: Bad file
descriptor) while reading upstream" errors, or socket leaks.
In ticket #2555, issues were observed with the following configuration
with cache background update (with thread writing instrumented to
introduce a delay, when a client closes the connection during an update):
location = /background-and-aio-write {
proxy_pass ...
proxy_cache one;
proxy_cache_valid 200 1s;
proxy_cache_background_update on;
proxy_cache_use_stale updating;
aio threads;
aio_write on;
limit_rate 1000;
}
Similarly, the same issue can be seen with SSI, and can be caused by
errors in subrequests, such as in the following configuration
(where "/proxy" uses AIO, and "/sleep" returns 444 after some delay,
causing request termination):
location = /ssi-active-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/proxy" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Or the same with both AIO operation and the error in non-active subrequests
(which needs slightly different handling, see below):
location = /ssi-non-active-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static" -->
<!--#include virtual="/proxy" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Similarly, issues can be observed with just static files. However,
with static files potential impact is limited due to timeout safeguards
in ngx_http_writer(), and the fact that c->error is set during request
termination.
In a simple configuration with an AIO operation in the active subrequest,
such as in the following configuration, the connection is closed right
after completion of the AIO operation anyway, since ngx_http_writer()
tries to write to the connection and fails due to c->error set:
location = /ssi-active-static-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static-aio" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
In the following configuration, with an AIO operation in a non-active
subrequest, the connection is closed only after send_timeout expires:
location = /ssi-non-active-static-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static" -->
<!--#include virtual="/static-aio" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Fix is to introduce r->main->terminated flag, which is to be checked
by AIO event handlers when the r->main->blocked counter is decremented.
When the flag is set, handlers are expected to wake up the connection
instead of the subrequest (which might be already cleaned up).
Additionally, now ngx_http_request_finalizer() is always set in the
active subrequest, so waking up the connection properly finalizes the
request even if termination happened in a non-active subrequest.

Neither r->port_start nor r->port_end were ever used.
The r->port_end is set by the parser, though it was never used by
the following code (and was never usable, since not copied by the
ngx_http_alloc_large_header_buffer() without r->port_start set).
|
|
Now the session object is assigned to c->data while ngx_http_connection_t
object is referenced by its http_connection field, similar to
ngx_http_v2_connection_t and ngx_http_request_t.
The change allows to eliminate v3_session field from ngx_http_connection_t.
The field was under NGX_HTTP_V3 macro, which was a source of binary
compatibility problems when nginx/module is build with/without HTTP/3 support.
Postponing is essential since c->data should retain the reference to
ngx_http_connection_t object throughout QUIC handshake, because SSL callbacks
ngx_http_ssl_servername() and ngx_http_ssl_alpn_select() rely on this.

Multi headers are now using linked lists instead of arrays. Notably,
the following fields were changed: r->headers_in.cookies (renamed
to r->headers_in.cookie), r->headers_in.x_forwarded_for,
r->headers_out.cache_control, r->headers_out.link, u->headers_in.cache_control
u->headers_in.cookies (renamed to u->headers_in.set_cookie).
The r->headers_in.cookies and u->headers_in.cookies fields were renamed
to r->headers_in.cookie and u->headers_in.set_cookie to match header names.
The ngx_http_parse_multi_header_lines() and ngx_http_parse_set_cookie_lines()
functions were changed accordingly.
With this change, multi headers are now essentially equivalent to normal
headers, and following changes will further make them equivalent.

FastCGI responder is expected to receive CGI/1.1 environment variables
in the parameters (see section "6.2 Responder" of the FastCGI specification).
Obviously enough, there cannot be multiple environment variables with
the same name.
Further, CGI specification (RFC 3875, section "4.1.18. Protocol-Specific
Meta-Variables") explicitly requires to combine headers: "If multiple
header fields with the same field-name are received then the server MUST
rewrite them as a single value having the same semantics".
|
|
The flag indicates that the entire response was sent to the socket up to the
last_buf flag. The flag is only usable for protocol implementations that call
ngx_http_write_filter() from header filter, such as HTTP/1.x and HTTP/3.
|
|
|
|
If a filter wants to buffer the request body during reading (for
example, to check an external scanner), it can now do so. To make
it possible, the code now checks rb->last_saved (introduced in the
previous change) along with rb->rest == 0.
Since in HTTP/2 this requires flow control to avoid overflowing the
request body buffer, so filters which need buffering have to set
the rb->filter_need_buffering flag on the first filter call. (Note
that each filter is expected to call the next filter, so all filters
will be able set the flag if needed.)
|
|
It indicates that the last buffer was received by the save filter,
and can be used to check this at higher levels. To be used in the
following changes.

From now on, requests with spaces in URIs are immediately rejected rather
than allowed. Spaces were allowed in 31e9677b15a1 (0.8.41) to handle bad
clients. It is believed that now this behaviour causes more harm than
good.
|
|
No valid CONNECT requests are expected to appear within nginx, since it
is not a forward proxy. Further, request line parsing will reject
proper CONNECT requests anyway, since we don't allow authority-form of
request-target. On the other hand, RFC 7230 specifies separate message
length rules for CONNECT which we don't support, so make sure to always
reject CONNECTs to avoid potential abuse.

Previously, an ngx_http_v3_connection_t object was created for HTTP/3 and
then assinged to c->data instead of the generic ngx_http_connection_t object.
Now a direct reference is added to ngx_http_connection_t, which is less
confusing and does not require a flag for http3.
|
|
The structure is used to parse an HTTP/3 request. An object of this type is
added to ngx_http_request_t instead of h3_parse generic pointer.
Also, the new field is located outside of the request ephemeral zone to keep it
safe after request headers are parsed.

The change reduces diff to the default branch for
src/http/ngx_http_request.c and src/http/ngx_http_parse.c.

When the request line contains request-target in the absolute-URI form,
it can contain path-empty instead of a single slash (see RFC 7230, RFC 3986).
Previously, the ngx_http_parse_request_line() function only accepted empty
path when there was no query string.
With this change, non-empty query is also correctly handled. That is,
request line "GET http://example.com?foo HTTP/1.1" is accepted and results
in $uri "/" and $args "foo".
Note that $request_uri remains "?foo", similarly to how spaces in URIs
are handled. Providing "/?foo", similarly to how "/" is provided for
"GET http://example.com HTTP/1.1", requires allocation.
|
|
The field was introduced to ease parsing HTTP/3 requests.
The change reduces diff to the default branch.
|
|
The parameter allows processing HTTP/0.9-2 over QUIC.
Also, introduced ngx_http_quic_module and moved QUIC settings there
|
|
New field r->parse_start is introduced to substitute r->request_start and
r->header_name_start for request length accounting. These fields only work for
this purpose in HTTP/1 because HTTP/1 request line and header line start with
these values.
Also, error logging is now fixed to output the right part of the request.

Previously, unnamed regex captures matched in the parent request, were not
available in a cloned subrequest. Now 3 fields related to unnamed captures
are copied to a cloned subrequest: r->ncaptures, r->captures and
r->captures_data. Since r->captures cannot be changed by either request after
creating a clone, a new flag r->realloc_captures is introduced to force
reallocation of r->captures.
The issue was reported as a proxy_cache_background_update misbehavior in
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2018-December/057251.html.

For HTTP/1, it keeps scheme from the absolute form of URI.
For HTTP/2, the :scheme request pseudo-header field value.

According to the gRPC protocol specification, the "TE" header is used
to detect incompatible proxies, and at least grpc-c server rejects
requests without "TE: trailers".
To preserve the logic, we have to pass "TE: trailers" to the backend if
and only if the original request contains "trailers" in the "TE" header.
Note that no other TE values are allowed in HTTP/2, so we have to remove
anything else.
|

The new request flag "preserve_body" indicates that the request body file should
not be removed by the upstream module because it may be used later by a
subrequest. The flag is set by the SSI (ticket #585), addition and slice
modules. Additionally, it is also set by the upstream module when a background
cache update subrequest is started to prevent the request body file removal
after an internal redirect. Only the main request is now allowed to remove the
file.
|
|
Example:
ngx_table_elt_t *h;
h = ngx_list_push(&r->headers_out.trailers);
if (h == NULL) {
return NGX_ERROR;
}
ngx_str_set(&h->key, "Fun");
ngx_str_set(&h->value, "with trailers");
h->hash = ngx_hash_key_lc(h->key.data, h->key.len);
The code above adds "Fun: with trailers" trailer to the response.
Modules that want to emit trailers must set r->expect_trailers = 1
in header filter, otherwise they might not be emitted for HTTP/1.1
responses that aren't already chunked.
This change also adds $sent_trailer_* variables.

Previously, cache background update might not work as expected, making client
wait for it to complete before receiving the final part of a stale response.
This could happen if the response could not be sent to the client socket in one
filter chain call.
Now background cache update is done in a background subrequest. This type of
subrequest does not block any other subrequests or the main request.

Most notably, this fixes possible buffer overflows if number of large
client header buffers in a virtual server is different from the one in
the default server.

With this change it is now possible to load modules compiled without
the "--with-http_ssl_module" configure option into nginx binary compiled
with it, and vice versa (if a module doesn't use ssl-specific functions),
assuming both use the "--with-compat" option.

HTTP/2-specific fields in structures are now available unconditionally.
Removed NGX_HTTP_V2 from the signature accordingly.

Since 4fbef397c753 nginx rejects with the 400 error any attempts of
requesting different host over the same connection, if the relevant
virtual server requires verification of a client certificate.
While requesting hosts other than negotiated isn't something legal
in HTTP/1.x, the HTTP/2 specification explicitly permits such requests
for connection reuse and has introduced a special response code 421.
According to RFC 7540 Section 9.1.2 this code can be sent by a server
that is not configured to produce responses for the combination of
scheme and authority that are included in the request URI. And the
client may retry the request over a different connection.
Now this code is used for requests that aren't authorized in current
connection. After receiving the 421 response a client will be able
to open a new connection, provide the required certificate and retry
the request.
Unfortunately, not all clients currently are able to handle it well.
Notably Chrome just shows an error, while at least the latest version
of Firefox retries the request over a new connection.
