This commit introduced the basic URI rewrite. It allows users to change request URI. Note the "rewrite" option ignores the contained query if any and the query from the request is preserverd.
An example:
"routes": [
{
"match": {
"uri": "/v1/test"
},
"action": {
"return": 200
}
},
{
"action": {
"rewrite": "/v1$uri",
"pass": "routes"
}
}
]

Don't reconstruct a new string for the $request_line from the parsed
method, target, and HTTP version, but rather keep a pointer to the
original memory where the request line was received.
This will be necessary for implementing URI rewrites, since we want to
log the original request line, and not one constructed from the
rewritten target.
This implementation changes behavior (only for invalid requests) in the
following way:
Previous behavior was to log as many tokens from the request line as
were parsed validly, thus:
Request -> access log ; error log
"GET / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / HTTP/1.1" OK ; =
"GET / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / HTTP/1.1" [1] ; =
"GET / HTTP/2.1" -> "GET / HTTP/2.1" OK ; =
"GET / HTTP/1." -> "GET / HTTP/1." [2] ; "GET / HTTP/1. [null]"
"GET / food" -> "GET / food" [2] ; "GET / food [null]"
"GET / / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / / HTTP/1.1" [2] ; =
"GET / / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / / HTTP/1.1" [2] ; =
"GET food HTTP/1.1" -> "GET" ; "GET [null] [null]"
"OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1" -> "OPTIONS" [3] ; "OPTIONS [null] [null]"
"FOOBAR baz HTTP/1.1"-> "FOOBAR" ; "FOOBAR [null] [null]"
"FOOBAR / HTTP/1.1" -> "FOOBAR / HTTP/1.1" ; =
"get / HTTP/1.1" -> "-" ; " [null] [null]"
"" -> "-" ; " [null] [null]"
This behavior was rather inconsistent. We have several options to go
forward with this patch:
- NGINX behavior.
Log the entire request line, up to '\r' | '\n', even if it was
invalid.
This is the most informative alternative. However, RFC-complying
requests will probably not send invalid requests.
This information would be interesting to users where debugging
requests constructed manually via netcat(1) or a similar tool, or
maybe for debugging a client, are important. It might be interesting
to support this in the future if our users are interested; for now,
since this approach requires looping over invalid requests twice,
that's an overhead that we better avoid.
- Previous Unit behavior
This is relatively fast (almost as fast as the next alternative, the
one we chose), but the implementation is ugly, in that we need to
perform the same operation in many places around the code.
If we want performance, probably the next alternative is better; if
we want to be informative, then the first one is better (maybe in
combination with the third one too).
- Chosen behavior
Only logging request lines when the request is valid. For any
invalid request, or even unsupported ones, the request line will be
logged as "-". Thus:
Request -> access log [4]
"GET / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / HTTP/1.1" OK
"GET / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / HTTP/1.1" [1]
"GET / HTTP/2.1" -> "-" [3]
"GET / HTTP/1." -> "-"
"GET / food" -> "-"
"GET / / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / / HTTP/1.1" [2]
"GET / / HTTP/1.1" -> "GET / / HTTP/1.1" [2]
"GET food HTTP/1.1" -> "-"
"OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1" -> "-"
"FOOBAR baz HTTP/1.1"-> "-"
"FOOBAR / HTTP/1.1" -> "FOOBAR / HTTP/1.1"
"get / HTTP/1.1" -> "-"
"" -> "-"
This is less informative than previous behavior, but considering how
inconsistent it was, and that RFC-complying agents will probably not
send us such requests, we're ready to lose that information in the
log. This is of course the fastest and simplest implementation we
can get.
We've chosen to implement this alternative in this patch. Since we
modified the behavior, this patch also changes the affected tests.
[1]: Multiple successive spaces as a token delimiter is allowed by the
RFC, but it is discouraged, and considered a security risk. It is
currently supported by Unit, but we will probably drop support for
it in the future.
[2]: Unit currently supports spaces in the request-target. This is
a violation of the relevant RFC (linked below), and will be fixed
in the future, and consider those targets as invalid, returning
a 400 (Bad Request), and thus the log lines with the previous
inconsistent behavior would be changed.
[3]: Not yet supported.
[4]: In the error log, regarding the "log_routes" conditional logging
of the request line, we only need to log the request line if it
was valid. It doesn't make sense to log "" or "-" in case that
the request was invalid, since this is only useful for
understanding decisions of the router. In this case, the access
log is more appropriate, which shows that the request was invalid,
and a 400 was returned. When the request line is valid, it is
printed in the error log exactly as in the access log.

As was pointed out by the cppcheck[0] static code analysis utility we
can mark numerous function parameters as 'const'. This acts as a hint to
the compiler about our intentions and the compiler will tell us when we
deviate from them.

Previously, all requests that contained in header field names characters other
than alphanumeric, or "-", or "_" were rejected with a 400 "Bad Request" error
response.
Now, the parser allows the same set of characters as specified in RFC 7230,
including: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "'", "*", "+", ".", "^", "`", "|", and "~".
Header field names that contain only these characters are considered valid.
Also, there's a new option introduced: "discard_unsafe_fields". It accepts
boolean value and it is set to "true" by default.
When this option is "true", all header field names that contain characters
in valid range, but other than alphanumeric or "-" are skipped during parsing.
When the option is "false", these header fields aren't skipped.
Requests with non-valid characters in header field names according to
RFC 7230 are rejected regardless of "discard_unsafe_fields" setting.
This closes#422 issue on GitHub.
This is required due to lack of a graceful shutdown: there is a small gap
between the runtime's memory pool release and router process's exit. Thus, a
worker thread may start processing a request between these two operations,
which may result in an http fields hash access and subsequent crash.
To simplify issue reproduction, it makes sense to add a 2 sec sleep before
exit() in nxt_runtime_exit().
This field was intended for MIME type lookup by file extension when serving
static files, but this use case is too narrow; only a fraction of requests
targets static content, and the URI presumably isn't rewritten. Moreover,
current implementation uses the entire filename for MIME type lookup if the
file has no extension.
Instead of extracting filenames and extensions when parsing requests, it's
easier to obtain them right before serving static content; this behavior is
already implemented. Thus, we can drop excessive logic from parser.
