Revision 1.15 - (show annotations)
Mon Sep 30 17:16:53 2002 UTC (21 years, 6 months ago) by nmav
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.14: +2 -1 lines
Added support for multiple HIC threads.

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. This makes
5 Hydra cache friendly.
6
7 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
8 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
9 internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
10 * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
11 functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
12 (Needs further cleanup).
13 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
14 is not available.
15
16 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
17 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
18 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
19 run over a pool of threads.
20 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
21 the mmap list table is full.
22 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
23 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
24 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
25 take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
26 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
27 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
28 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
29 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
30 * Dropped support for gunzip.
31 * Use automake to create the distribution.
32
33 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
34 * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
35 * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
36 * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
37 especially strdup.
38 * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
39 * server_s is no longer a global int
40 * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
41 * check for getopt.h and include it if found
42 * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
43 many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
44 * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
45 the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
46 * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
47 * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
48 * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
49 results of earlier calls to results from later calls
50 * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
51 user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
52 accept concurrently.
53 * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
54 * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
55 * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
56 being added to the block set
57 * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
58 * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
59 by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
60 * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
61 need it for the CGI
62 * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
63
64 ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
65 * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
66 * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
67 Liam Widdowson
68 * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
69 something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
70 a long, and use that.
71 * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
72 * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
73 from 0.95
74 * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
75 * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
76 (instead of using tmpnam)
77 * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
78 Patch by Landon Curt Noll
79 * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
80 Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
81 * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
82 * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
83 instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
84 * update manpage slightly
85 * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
86 * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
87 * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
88 ip.c, request.c, response.c
89 * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
90 into create_server_socket and drop_privs
91 * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
92 * set umask after opening /dev/null
93 * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
94 * removed old, unused chroot code
95 * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
96 * move fork later in the startup
97 * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
98 * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
99 requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
100 * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
101 access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
102 (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
103 * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
104 * always attempt a 32k read right before close
105 (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
106 * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
107 and http version
108 * don't use inline functions
109 * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
110 * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
111 * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
112 * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
113 * remove tests section in Makefile.in
114 * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
115 * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
116 * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
117 inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
118 * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
119 assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
120 * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
121 modified version by Liam Widdowson
122 * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
123 for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
124 authored by Wes Hardaker
125 * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
126 * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
127 for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
128 portability tests for localtime.
129 * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
130 it properly.
131 * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
132 with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
133 using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
134 timezone designation.
135 * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
136 heavy load by many different files.
137 Found and squashed by Michal Kara
138 * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
139 This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
140 * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
141 CGIs have no business knowing that information
142 * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
143 Bug found by Matt Callaway
144 * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
145 (they aren't used anyway)
146 * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
147 to select()
148 * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
149 * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
150 * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
151 * update .depend file
152 * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
153 add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
154 accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
155 to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
156 Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
157 * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
158 * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
159 dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
160 * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
161 * boa.objdump target added
162 * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
163 * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
164 * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
165 * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
166 * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
167 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
168 * use _exit not exit in CGI child
169 * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
170 sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
171 things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
172 to place the new request on the active list anyway.
173 * update some Copyright statements for 2002
174 * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
175 the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
176 * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
177 trying to use it
178 * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
179 than some complicated variation on the pathname
180 * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
181 Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
182 throughout the life of the structure.
183 * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
184 CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
185 * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
186 and translate_uri
187 * remove debian package information
188 * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
189 * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
190 * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
191 hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
192 * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
193 involving negative return values from hash routines.
194 This has been fixed.
195 * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
196 statistical output via sigalarm
197 * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
198 * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
199 * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
200 * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
201 * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
202 when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
203 and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
204 before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
205 by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
206 * pull select loop into select.c
207 * poll server socket once per active connection
208 * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
209 * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
210 * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
211 * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
212 consume its full share of CPU until killed
213 Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
214 * add CGIPath configuration variable
215 based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
216 * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
217 accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
218 the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
219 issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
220 Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
221 * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
222 * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
223 (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
224 * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
225 * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
226 with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
227 * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
228 * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
229 * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
230 * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
231 make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
232 * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
233 * fix bug in CgiPath logic
234 * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
235 * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
236 [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
237 * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
238 * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
239
240 ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
241 * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
242 * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
243 * rearrange some header files and includes
244 * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
245 * include fix by William Meadows
246 for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
247 * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
248 escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
249 at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
250

261
262 ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
263 * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
264 from autoconf
265 * Update escaping rules with latest RFC
266 * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
267 * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
268 * use backported documentation from 0.95
269 * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
270 * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
271 * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
272 * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
273 * check for ENOSPC on body write
274 * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
275 and chdir there when boa exits.
276 * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
277 on POST or PUT
278 * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
279 unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
