Fri Oct 4 09:11:43 2002 UTC (21 years, 5 months ago) by nmav
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.25: +3 -0 lines
Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.

1 ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7
2 * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
3
4 ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
5 * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
6 they are not found by the configure script.
7 * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
8 * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
9 all, with any other compiler!
10 * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
11 * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
12
13 ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
14 * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
15 of trying to execute it.
16 * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
17 POST data and Queries to work properly.
18
19 ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
20 * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
21 fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
22 the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
23 Hydra cache friendly.
24 * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
25 since they are no longer generated sequentially.
26
27 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
28 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
29 internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
30 * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
31 functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
32 (Needs further cleanup).
33 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
34 is not available.
35
36 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
37 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
38 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
39 run over a pool of threads.
40 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
41 the mmap list table is full.
42 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
43 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
44 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
45 take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
46 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
47 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
48 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
49 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
50 * Dropped support for gunzip.
51 * Use automake to create the distribution.
52
53 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
54 * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
55 * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
56 * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
57 especially strdup.
58 * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
59 * server_s is no longer a global int
60 * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
61 * check for getopt.h and include it if found
62 * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
63 many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
64 * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
65 the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
66 * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
67 * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
68 * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
69 results of earlier calls to results from later calls
70 * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
71 user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
72 accept concurrently.
73 * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
74 * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
75 * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
76 being added to the block set
77 * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
78 * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
79 by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
80 * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
81 need it for the CGI
82 * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
83
84 ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
85 * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
86 * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
87 Liam Widdowson
88 * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
89 something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
90 a long, and use that.
91 * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
92 * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
93 from 0.95
94 * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
95 * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
96 (instead of using tmpnam)
97 * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
98 Patch by Landon Curt Noll
99 * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
100 Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
101 * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
102 * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
103 instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
104 * update manpage slightly
105 * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
106 * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
107 * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
108 ip.c, request.c, response.c
109 * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
110 into create_server_socket and drop_privs
111 * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
112 * set umask after opening /dev/null
113 * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
114 * removed old, unused chroot code
115 * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
116 * move fork later in the startup
117 * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
118 * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
119 requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
120 * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
121 access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
122 (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
123 * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
124 * always attempt a 32k read right before close
125 (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
126 * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
127 and http version
128 * don't use inline functions
129 * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
130 * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
131 * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
132 * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
133 * remove tests section in Makefile.in
134 * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
135 * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
136 * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
137 inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
138 * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
139 assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
140 * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
141 modified version by Liam Widdowson
142 * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
143 for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
144 authored by Wes Hardaker
145 * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
146 * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
147 for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
148 portability tests for localtime.
149 * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
150 it properly.
151 * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
152 with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
153 using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
154 timezone designation.
155 * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
156 heavy load by many different files.
157 Found and squashed by Michal Kara
158 * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
159 This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
160 * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
161 CGIs have no business knowing that information
162 * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
163 Bug found by Matt Callaway
164 * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
165 (they aren't used anyway)
166 * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
167 to select()
168 * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
169 * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
170 * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
171 * update .depend file
172 * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
173 add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
174 accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
175 to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
176 Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
177 * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
178 * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
179 dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
180 * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
181 * boa.objdump target added
182 * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
183 * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
184 * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
185 * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
186 * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
187 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
188 * use _exit not exit in CGI child
189 * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
190 sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
191 things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
192 to place the new request on the active list anyway.
193 * update some Copyright statements for 2002
194 * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
195 the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
196 * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
197 trying to use it
198 * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
199 than some complicated variation on the pathname
200 * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
201 Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
202 throughout the life of the structure.
203 * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
204 CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
205 * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
206 and translate_uri
207 * remove debian package information
208 * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
209 * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
210 * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
211 hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
212 * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
213 involving negative return values from hash routines.
214 This has been fixed.
215 * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
216 statistical output via sigalarm
217 * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
218 * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
219 * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
220 * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
221 * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
222 when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
223 and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
224 before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
225 by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
226 * pull select loop into select.c
227 * poll server socket once per active connection
228 * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
229 * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
230 * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
231 * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
232 consume its full share of CPU until killed
233 Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
234 * add CGIPath configuration variable
235 based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
236 * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
237 accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
238 the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
239 issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
240 Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
241 * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
242 * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
243 (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
244 * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
245 * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
246 with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
247 * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
248 * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
249 * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
250 * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
251 make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
252 * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
253 * fix bug in CgiPath logic
254 * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
255 * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
256 [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
257 * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
258 * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
259
260 ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
261 * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
262 * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
263 * rearrange some header files and includes
264 * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
265 * include fix by William Meadows
266 for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
267 * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
268 escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
269 at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
270

286 * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
287 * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
288 * use backported documentation from 0.95
289 * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel

291 * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
292 * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
293 * check for ENOSPC on body write
294 * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
295 and chdir there when boa exits.
296 * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
297 on POST or PUT
298 * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
299 unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
300 * made Makefile.in VPATH happy
301
302 ** Changes from 0.94.8.2 to 0.94.8.3
