port->app field is not thread safe and should be used in main thread only.
To release port after request processing, application reference should be
obtained from corresponding request descriptor.
Compared to the previous implementation based on OpenSSL, the new implementation
has these advantages:
1. Strict and reliable detection of invalid strings, including strings with
less than 4 bytes of garbage at the end;
2. Allows to use Base64 strings without '=' padding.
While here, default debhelper compat level bumped to 11 (this is the
version installed out of the box on Ubuntu 18.04 "bionic" which is
the oldest one from supported distros).
This commit supports variable in the "share" option, the finding path to
file serve is the value from "share". An example:
{
"share": "/www/data/static$uri"
}
Because the configuration values were read from the listener's configuration,
an established WebSocket connection was unable to work properly (i. e. stuck)
if the listener was removed. The correct source of configuration values is the
request config joint.
This is related to issue #581 on GitHub.
Since the "pass" option supports both strings and variables, a generic
nxt_var_t structure can be used in the configuration phase, and the "name"
field in actions is redundant.
No functional changes.
This commit introduces the replacement of the client address based on the value
of a specified HTTP header. This is intended for use when Unit is placed
behind a reverse proxy like nginx or a CDN.
You must specify the source addresses of the trusted proxies. This can be
accomplished with any valid IP pattern supported by Unit's match block:
["10.0.0.1", "10.4.0.0/16", "!192.168.1.1"]
The feature is configured per listener.
The client address replacement functionality only operates when there is a
source IP match and the specified header is present. Typically this would be
an 'X-Forwarded-For' header.
{
"listeners": {
"127.0.0.1:8080": {
"client_ip": {
"header": "X-Forwarded-For",
"source": [
"10.0.0.0/8"
]
},
"pass": "applications/my_app"
},
}
}
If a request occurs and Unit receives a header like below:
"X-Forwarded-For: 84.123.23.23"
By default, Unit trusts the last rightmost IP in the header, so REMOTE_ADDR
will be set to 84.123.23.23 if the connection originated from 10.0.0.0/8.
If Unit runs behind consecutive reverse proxies and receives a header similar
to the following:
"X-Forwarded-For: 84.123.23.23, 10.0.0.254"
You will need to enable "recursive" checking, which walks the header from
last address to first and chooses the first non-trusted address it finds.
{
"listeners": {
"127.0.0.1:8080": {
"client_ip": {
"header": "X-Forwarded-For",
"source": [
"10.0.0.0/8"
]
"recursive": true,
},
"pass": "applications/my_app"
},
}
}
If a connection from 10.0.0.0/8 occurs, the chain is walked. Here, 10.0.0.254
is also a trusted address so the client address will be replaced with
84.123.23.23.
If all IP addresses in the header are trusted, the client address is set to
the first address in the header:
If 10.0.0.0/8 is trusted and "X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.1",
the client address will be replaced with 10.0.0.3.
