Revision 1.49.2.14 - (show annotations)
Thu Jan 9 14:32:04 2003 UTC (21 years, 2 months ago) by nmav
Branch: hydra_0_1_0_patches
Changes since 1.49.2.13: +3 -1 lines
Corrected bug in KeepAlive usage in HTTP/1.1, which made the
server to ignore the value sent by the client.

1 ** Changes from 0.1.2 to 0.1.3 -
2 * Added DefaultCharset configuration directive. The default
3 character set given, will be appended to all text mime types.
4 * Corrected bug in KeepAlive usage in HTTP/1.1, which made the
5 server to ignore the value sent by the client.
6
7 ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 - 08/01/2003
8 * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
9 configuration file. Patch by James Harr <james@grickle.org>
10 * Better pthreads detection.
11 * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
12 * Does not close HTTP/1.1 connections by default.
13 * The current behavour is to demand the Host header in HTTP/1.1
14 requests.
15 * Added support for CGIAction CGIs. There are just like CGIs
16 but they are not executed. They are parsed using a given program.
17 * Added init script for redhat in contrib/redhat/rc.hydra,
18 contributed by <voidnull@qnet.pl>.
19
20 ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
21 * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
22 * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
23
24 ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
25 * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
26
27 ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
28 * Corrected bug in error logging.
29 * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
30 the temporary directory.
31
32 ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
33 * Long offsets are not used by default.
34 * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
35 are less than PIPE_BUF.
36 * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
37 are prepended to the log message.
38 * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
39 * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
40 generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
41 * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
42 Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
43 * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
44 HICThreads configuration directive.
45 * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
46 configure option.
47
48 ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
49 * Better pthread detection.
50 * Better detection of dlopen call.
51 * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
52 * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
53 [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
54 * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
55 emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
56 * make the default socket size 32K. The client_stream_size stays constant
57 at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
58 Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
59 it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
60 * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
61 to cgilog otherwise
62 * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
63 * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
64 sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
65 It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
66 * umask ~0770 before exec
67 * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
68 in which case tie it to /dev/null
69 * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
70 * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
71 * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
72 and Landon Curt Noll.
73 * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
74 * pidfile patch
75 * default mime_types patch
76 * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
77 #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
78 * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
79 (Ulf Harnhammar)
80 * backport poll support from 0.95
81
82 ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
83 * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
84 * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
85 * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
86 a client certificate.
87 * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
88 * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
89 the SSL related variables.
90 * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
91 unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
92
93 ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
94 * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
95 they are not found by the configure script.
96 * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
97 * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
98 all, with any other compiler!
99 * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
100 * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
101
102 ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
103 * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
104 of trying to execute it.
105 * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
106 POST data and Queries to work properly.
107
108 ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
109 * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
110 fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
111 the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
112 Hydra cache friendly.
113 * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
114 since they are no longer generated sequentially.
115
116 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
117 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
118 internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
119 * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
120 functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
121 (Needs further cleanup).
122 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
123 is not available.
124
125 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
126 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
127 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
128 run over a pool of threads.
129 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
130 the mmap list table is full.
131 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
132 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
133 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
134 take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
135 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
136 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
137 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
138 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
139 * Dropped support for gunzip.
140 * Use automake to create the distribution.
141
142 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
143 * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
144 * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
145 * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
146 especially strdup.
147 * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
148 * server_s is no longer a global int
149 * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
150 * check for getopt.h and include it if found
151 * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
152 many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
153 * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
154 the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
155 * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
156 * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
157 * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
158 results of earlier calls to results from later calls
159 * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
160 user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
161 accept concurrently.
162 * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
163 * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
164 * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
165 being added to the block set
166 * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
167 * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
168 by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
169 * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
170 need it for the CGI
171 * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
172
173 ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
174 * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
175 * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
176 Liam Widdowson
177 * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
178 something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
179 a long, and use that.
180 * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
181 * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
182 from 0.95
183 * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
184 * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
185 (instead of using tmpnam)
186 * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
187 Patch by Landon Curt Noll
188 * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
189 Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
190 * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
191 * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
192 instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
193 * update manpage slightly
194 * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
195 * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
196 * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
197 ip.c, request.c, response.c
198 * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
199 into create_server_socket and drop_privs
200 * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
201 * set umask after opening /dev/null
202 * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
203 * removed old, unused chroot code
204 * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
205 * move fork later in the startup
206 * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
207 * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
208 requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
209 * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
210 access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
211 (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
212 * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
213 * always attempt a 32k read right before close
214 (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
215 * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
216 and http version
217 * don't use inline functions
218 * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
219 * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
220 * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
221 * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
222 * remove tests section in Makefile.in
223 * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
224 * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
225 * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
226 inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
227 * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
228 assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
229 * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
230 modified version by Liam Widdowson
231 * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
232 for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
233 authored by Wes Hardaker
234 * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
235 * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
236 for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
237 portability tests for localtime.
238 * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
239 it properly.
240 * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
241 with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
242 using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
243 timezone designation.
244 * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
245 heavy load by many different files.
246 Found and squashed by Michal Kara
247 * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
248 This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
249 * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
250 CGIs have no business knowing that information
251 * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
252 Bug found by Matt Callaway
253 * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
254 (they aren't used anyway)
255 * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
256 to select()
257 * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
258 * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
259 * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
260 * update .depend file
261 * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
262 add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
263 accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
264 to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
265 Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
266 * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
267 * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
268 dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
269 * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
270 * boa.objdump target added
271 * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
272 * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
273 * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
274 * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
275 * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
276 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
277 * use _exit not exit in CGI child
278 * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
279 sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
280 things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
281 to place the new request on the active list anyway.
282 * update some Copyright statements for 2002
283 * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
284 the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
285 * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
286 trying to use it
287 * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
288 than some complicated variation on the pathname
289 * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
290 Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
291 throughout the life of the structure.
292 * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
293 CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
294 * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
295 and translate_uri
296 * remove debian package information
297 * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
298 * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
299 * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
300 hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
301 * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
302 involving negative return values from hash routines.
303 This has been fixed.
304 * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
305 statistical output via sigalarm
306 * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
307 * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
308 * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
309 * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
310 * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
311 when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
312 and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
313 before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
314 by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
315 * pull select loop into select.c
316 * poll server socket once per active connection
317 * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
318 * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
319 * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
320 * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
321 consume its full share of CPU until killed
322 Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
323 * add CGIPath configuration variable
324 based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
325 * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
326 accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
327 the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
328 issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
329 Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
330 * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
331 * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
332 (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
333 * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
334 * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
335 with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
336 * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
337 * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
338 * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
339 * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
340 make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
341 * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
342 * fix bug in CgiPath logic
343 * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
344 * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
345 [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
346 * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
347 * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
348
349 ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
350 * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
351 * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
352 * rearrange some header files and includes
353 * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
354 * include fix by William Meadows
355 for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
356 * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
357 escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
358 at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
359
360 ** Changes from 0.94.10 to 0.94.10.1
361 * Actually update the SERVER_VERSION in src/defines.h
362

368 * Update documentation regarding mime.types (Closes Debian #69991)
369 * Make sure documentation builds (Closes Debian #110818)
370
371 ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
372 * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
373 from autoconf
374 * Update escaping rules with latest RFC
375 * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
376 * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
377 * use backported documentation from 0.95
378 * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
379 * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
380 * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
381 * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
382 * check for ENOSPC on body write
383 * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
384 and chdir there when boa exits.
385 * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
386 on POST or PUT
387 * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
388 unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
389 * made Makefile.in VPATH happy
390
391 ** Changes from 0.94.8.2 to 0.94.8.3
