Revision 1.16 - (show annotations)
Mon Sep 30 18:18:52 2002 UTC (21 years, 6 months ago) by nmav
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.15: +2 -0 lines
Some cleanups in server version string generation.

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 * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
7 since they are not generated sequentially.
8
9 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
10 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
11 internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
12 * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
13 functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
14 (Needs further cleanup).
15 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
16 is not available.
17
18 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
19 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
20 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
21 run over a pool of threads.
22 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
23 the mmap list table is full.
24 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
25 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
26 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
27 take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
28 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
29 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
30 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
31 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
32 * Dropped support for gunzip.
33 * Use automake to create the distribution.
34
35 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
36 * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
37 * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
38 * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
39 especially strdup.
40 * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
41 * server_s is no longer a global int
42 * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
43 * check for getopt.h and include it if found
44 * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
45 many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
46 * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
47 the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
48 * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
49 * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
50 * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
51 results of earlier calls to results from later calls
52 * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
53 user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
54 accept concurrently.
55 * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
56 * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
57 * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
58 being added to the block set
59 * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
60 * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
61 by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
62 * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
63 need it for the CGI
64 * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
65
66 ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
67 * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
68 * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
69 Liam Widdowson
70 * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
71 something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
72 a long, and use that.
73 * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
74 * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
75 from 0.95
76 * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
77 * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
78 (instead of using tmpnam)
79 * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
80 Patch by Landon Curt Noll
81 * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
82 Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
83 * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
84 * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
85 instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
86 * update manpage slightly
87 * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
88 * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
89 * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
90 ip.c, request.c, response.c
91 * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
92 into create_server_socket and drop_privs
93 * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
94 * set umask after opening /dev/null
95 * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
96 * removed old, unused chroot code
97 * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
98 * move fork later in the startup
99 * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
100 * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
101 requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
102 * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
103 access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
104 (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
105 * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
106 * always attempt a 32k read right before close
107 (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
108 * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
109 and http version
110 * don't use inline functions
111 * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
112 * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
113 * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
114 * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
115 * remove tests section in Makefile.in
116 * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
117 * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
118 * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
119 inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
120 * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
121 assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
122 * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
123 modified version by Liam Widdowson
124 * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
125 for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
126 authored by Wes Hardaker
127 * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
128 * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
129 for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
130 portability tests for localtime.
131 * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
132 it properly.
133 * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
134 with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
135 using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
136 timezone designation.
137 * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
138 heavy load by many different files.
139 Found and squashed by Michal Kara
140 * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
141 This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
142 * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
143 CGIs have no business knowing that information
144 * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
145 Bug found by Matt Callaway
146 * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
147 (they aren't used anyway)
148 * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
149 to select()
150 * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
151 * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
152 * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
153 * update .depend file
154 * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
155 add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
156 accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
157 to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
158 Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
159 * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
160 * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
161 dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
162 * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
163 * boa.objdump target added
164 * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
165 * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
166 * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
167 * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
168 * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
169 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
170 * use _exit not exit in CGI child
171 * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
172 sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
173 things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
174 to place the new request on the active list anyway.
175 * update some Copyright statements for 2002
176 * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
177 the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
178 * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
179 trying to use it
180 * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
181 than some complicated variation on the pathname
182 * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
183 Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
184 throughout the life of the structure.
185 * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
186 CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
187 * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
188 and translate_uri
189 * remove debian package information
190 * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
191 * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
192 * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
193 hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
194 * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
195 involving negative return values from hash routines.
196 This has been fixed.
197 * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
198 statistical output via sigalarm
199 * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
200 * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
201 * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
202 * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
203 * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
204 when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
205 and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
206 before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
207 by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
208 * pull select loop into select.c
209 * poll server socket once per active connection
210 * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
211 * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
212 * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
213 * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
214 consume its full share of CPU until killed
215 Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
216 * add CGIPath configuration variable
217 based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
218 * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
219 accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
220 the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
221 issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
222 Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
223 * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
224 * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
225 (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
226 * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
227 * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
228 with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
229 * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
230 * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
231 * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
232 * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
233 make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
234 * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
235 * fix bug in CgiPath logic
236 * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
237 * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
238 [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
239 * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
240 * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
241
242 ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
243 * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
244 * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
245 * rearrange some header files and includes
246 * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
247 * include fix by William Meadows
248 for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
249 * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
250 escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
251 at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
252

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