Revision 1.14 - (show annotations)
Sun Sep 29 11:00:04 2002 UTC (21 years, 6 months ago) by nmav
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.13: +5 -0 lines
Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
the last modified field of the file, and the file size.

Fixed the behaviour of the range parser, when a bogus range was received.
Now it does not send any message, it silently ignores the bogus range.

1 ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4
2 * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
3 fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
4 the last modified field of the file, and the file size.
5
6 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
7 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
8 internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
9 * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
10 functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
11 (Needs further cleanup).
12 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
13 is not available.
14
15 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
16 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
17 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
18 run over a pool of threads.
19 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
20 the mmap list table is full.
21 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
22 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
23 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
24 take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
25 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
26 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
27 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
28 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
29 * Dropped support for gunzip.
30 * Use automake to create the distribution.
31
32 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
33 * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
34 * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
35 * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
36 especially strdup.
37 * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
38 * server_s is no longer a global int
39 * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
40 * check for getopt.h and include it if found
41 * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
42 many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
43 * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
44 the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
45 * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
46 * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
47 * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
48 results of earlier calls to results from later calls
49 * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
50 user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
51 accept concurrently.
52 * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
53 * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
54 * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
55 being added to the block set
56 * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
57 * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
58 by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
59 * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
60 need it for the CGI
61 * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
62
63 ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
64 * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
65 * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
66 Liam Widdowson
67 * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
68 something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
69 a long, and use that.
70 * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
71 * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
72 from 0.95
73 * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
74 * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
75 (instead of using tmpnam)
76 * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
77 Patch by Landon Curt Noll
78 * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
79 Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
80 * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
81 * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
82 instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
83 * update manpage slightly
84 * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
85 * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
86 * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
87 ip.c, request.c, response.c
88 * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
89 into create_server_socket and drop_privs
90 * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
91 * set umask after opening /dev/null
92 * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
93 * removed old, unused chroot code
94 * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
95 * move fork later in the startup
96 * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
97 * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
98 requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
99 * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
100 access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
101 (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
102 * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
103 * always attempt a 32k read right before close
104 (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
105 * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
106 and http version
107 * don't use inline functions
108 * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
109 * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
110 * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
111 * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
112 * remove tests section in Makefile.in
113 * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
114 * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
115 * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
116 inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
117 * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
118 assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
119 * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
120 modified version by Liam Widdowson
121 * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
122 for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
123 authored by Wes Hardaker
124 * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
125 * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
126 for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
127 portability tests for localtime.
128 * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
129 it properly.
130 * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
131 with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
132 using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
133 timezone designation.
134 * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
135 heavy load by many different files.
136 Found and squashed by Michal Kara
137 * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
138 This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
139 * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
140 CGIs have no business knowing that information
141 * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
142 Bug found by Matt Callaway
143 * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
144 (they aren't used anyway)
145 * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
146 to select()
147 * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
148 * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
149 * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
150 * update .depend file
151 * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
152 add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
153 accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
154 to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
155 Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
156 * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
157 * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
158 dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
159 * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
160 * boa.objdump target added
161 * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
162 * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
163 * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
164 * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
165 * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
166 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
167 * use _exit not exit in CGI child
168 * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
169 sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
170 things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
171 to place the new request on the active list anyway.
172 * update some Copyright statements for 2002
173 * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
174 the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
175 * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
176 trying to use it
177 * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
178 than some complicated variation on the pathname
179 * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
180 Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
181 throughout the life of the structure.
182 * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
183 CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
184 * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
185 and translate_uri
186 * remove debian package information
187 * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
188 * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
189 * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
190 hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
191 * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
192 involving negative return values from hash routines.
193 This has been fixed.
194 * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
195 statistical output via sigalarm
196 * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
197 * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
198 * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
199 * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
200 * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
201 when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
202 and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
203 before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
204 by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
205 * pull select loop into select.c
206 * poll server socket once per active connection
207 * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
208 * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
209 * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
210 * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
211 consume its full share of CPU until killed
212 Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
213 * add CGIPath configuration variable
214 based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
215 * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
216 accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
217 the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
218 issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
219 Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
220 * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
221 * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
222 (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
223 * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
224 * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
225 with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
226 * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
227 * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
228 * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
229 * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
230 make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
231 * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
232 * fix bug in CgiPath logic
233 * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
234 * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
235 [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
236 * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
237 * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
238
239 ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
240 * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
241 * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
242 * rearrange some header files and includes
243 * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
244 * include fix by William Meadows
245 for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
246 * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
247 escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
248 at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
249

265 * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
266 * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
267 * use backported documentation from 0.95
268 * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
269 * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
270 * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
271 * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
272 * check for ENOSPC on body write
273 * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
274 and chdir there when boa exits.
275 * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
276 on POST or PUT
277 * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
278 unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
