Now "s", "V", and "v" format specifiers may be prefixed with "x" (lowercase)
or "X" (uppercase) to output corresponding data in hexadecimal format.
In collaboration with Maxim Dounin.
Variables now do not depend on presence of the HTTP status code in response.
If the corresponding event occurred, variables contain time between request
creation and the event, and "-" otherwise.
Previously, intermediate value of the $upstream_response_time variable held
unix timestamp.
The directive allows to drop binding between a client and existing UDP stream
session after receiving a specified number of packets. First packet from the
same client address and port will start a new session. Old session continues
to exist and will terminate at moment defined by configuration: either after
receiving the expected number of responses, or after timeout, as specified by
the "proxy_responses" and/or "proxy_timeout" directives.
By default, proxy_requests is zero (disabled).
The problem does not manifest itself currently, because in case of
non-buffered reading, chain link created by u->create_request method
consists of a single element.
Found by PVS-Studio.
The module implements random load-balancing algorithm with optional second
choice. In the latter case, the best of two servers is chosen, accounting
number of connections and server weight.
Example:
upstream u {
random [two [least_conn]];
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
server 127.0.0.1:8081;
server 127.0.0.1:8082;
server 127.0.0.1:8083;
}
Previously, only unix domain sockets were reopened to tolerate cases when
local syslog server was restarted. It makes sense to treat other cases
(for example, local IP address changes) similarly.
The protocol used on inbound connection is auto-detected and corresponding
parser is used to extract passed addresses. TLV parameters are ignored.
The maximum supported size of PROXY protocol header is 107 bytes
(similar to version 1).
A missing check could cause ngx_stream_ssl_handler() to be applied
to a non-ssl session, which resulted in a null pointer dereference
if ssl_verify_client is enabled.
The bug had appeared in 1.11.8 (41cb1b64561d).
The ssl_preread module extracts information from the SSL Client Hello message
without terminating SSL. Currently, only $ssl_preread_server_name variable
is supported, which contains server name from the SNI extension.
In this phase, head of a stream is read and analysed before proceeding to the
content phase. Amount of data read is controlled by the module implementing
the phase, but not more than defined by the "preread_buffer_size" directive.
The time spent on processing preread is controlled by the "preread_timeout"
directive.
The typical preread phase module will parse the beginning of a stream and set
variable that may be used by the content phase, for example to make routing
decision.
Keeps the full address of the upstream server. If several servers were
contacted during proxying, their addresses are separated by commas,
e.g. "192.168.1.1:80, 192.168.1.2:80".
Unlike $upstream_response_length that only counts the body size,
the new variable also counts the size of response header and data
received after switching protocols when proxying WebSockets.
If PCRE is disabled, captures were treated as normal variables in
ngx_http_script_compile(), while code calculating flushes array length in
ngx_http_compile_complex_value() did not account captures as variables.
This could lead to write outside of the array boundary when setting
last element to -1.
Found with AddressSanitizer.
If no space left in buffer after adding formatting symbols, error message
could be left without terminating null. The fix is to output message using
actual length.
If the -T option is passed, additionally to configuration test, configuration
files are output to stdout.
In the debug mode, configuration files are kept in memory and can be accessed
using a debugger.
If a syslog daemon is restarted and the unix socket is used, further logging
might stop to work. In case of send error, socket is closed, forcing
a reconnection at the next logging attempt.
The ngx_cycle->log is used when sending the message. This allows to log syslog
send errors in another log.
Logging to syslog after its cleanup handler has been executed was prohibited.
Previously, this was possible from ngx_destroy_pool(), which resulted in error
messages caused by attempts to write into the closed socket.
The "processing" flag is renamed to "busy" to better match its semantics.
