*** empty log message ***

1 nmav 1.49.2.4 ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 -
2     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
3     configuration file.
4    
5 nmav 1.49.2.3 ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
6 nmav 1.49.2.2 * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
7     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
8 nmav 1.49.2.1
9 nmav 1.49 ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
10     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
11    
12 nmav 1.48 ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
13 nmav 1.47 * Corrected bug in error logging.
14     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
15     the temporary directory.
16    
17 nmav 1.46 ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
18 nmav 1.42 * Long offsets are not used by default.
19     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
20     are less than PIPE_BUF.
21 nmav 1.44 * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
22 nmav 1.43 are prepended to the log message.
23 nmav 1.44 * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
24 nmav 1.45 * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
25     generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
26     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
27     Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
28 nmav 1.46 * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
29     HICThreads configuration directive.
30     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
31     configure option.
32 nmav 1.42
33 nmav 1.41 ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
34 nmav 1.36 * Better pthread detection.
35 nmav 1.40 * Better detection of dlopen call.
36 nmav 1.37 * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
37 nmav 1.40 * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
38 nmav 1.38 [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
39     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
40     emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
41     * make the default socket size 32K. The client_stream_size stays constant
42     at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
43     Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
44     it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
45     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
46     to cgilog otherwise
47 nmav 1.40 * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
48 nmav 1.38 * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
49     sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
50     It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
51     * umask ~0770 before exec
52     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
53     in which case tie it to /dev/null
54     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
55     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
56     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
57     and Landon Curt Noll.
58     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
59     * pidfile patch
60     * default mime_types patch
61     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
62     #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
63     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
64     (Ulf Harnhammar)
65     * backport poll support from 0.95
66 nmav 1.36
67 nmav 1.35 ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
68 nmav 1.26 * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
69 nmav 1.27 * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
70 nmav 1.28 * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
71     a client certificate.
72 nmav 1.34 * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
73 nmav 1.33 * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
74 nmav 1.29 the SSL related variables.
75 nmav 1.33 * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
76     unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
77 nmav 1.26
78 nmav 1.24 ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
79 nmav 1.21 * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
80     they are not found by the configure script.
81 nmav 1.22 * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
82 nmav 1.23 * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
83 nmav 1.22 all, with any other compiler!
84 nmav 1.23 * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
85 nmav 1.25 * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
86 nmav 1.21
87 nmav 1.20 ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
88 nmav 1.18 * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
89     of trying to execute it.
90 nmav 1.19 * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
91     POST data and Queries to work properly.
92 nmav 1.18
93 nmav 1.17 ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
94 nmav 1.14 * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
95     fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
96 nmav 1.15 the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
97     Hydra cache friendly.
98 nmav 1.16 * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
99 nmav 1.22 since they are no longer generated sequentially.
100 nmav 1.14
101 nmav 1.13 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
102 nmav 1.11 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
103     internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
104     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
105     functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
106     (Needs further cleanup).
107 nmav 1.12 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
108     is not available.
109 nmav 1.11
110 nmav 1.9 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
111 nmav 1.2 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
112     * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
113     run over a pool of threads.
114     * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
115     the mmap list table is full.
116     * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
117 nmav 1.4 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
118 nmav 1.5 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
119     take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
120 nmav 1.3 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
121     * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
122 nmav 1.10 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
123 nmav 1.7 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
124     * Dropped support for gunzip.
125 nmav 1.8 * Use automake to create the distribution.
126 nmav 1.2
127 nmav 1.1 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
128     * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
129     * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
130     * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
131     especially strdup.
132     * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
133     * server_s is no longer a global int
134     * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
135     * check for getopt.h and include it if found
136     * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
137     many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
138     * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
139     the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
140     * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
141     * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
142     * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
143     results of earlier calls to results from later calls
144     * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
145     user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
146     accept concurrently.
147     * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
148     * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
149     * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
150     being added to the block set
151     * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
152     * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
153     by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
154     * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
155     need it for the CGI
156     * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
157    
158     ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
159     * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
160     * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
161     Liam Widdowson
162     * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
163     something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
164     a long, and use that.
165     * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
166     * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
167     from 0.95
168     * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
169     * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
170     (instead of using tmpnam)
171     * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
172     Patch by Landon Curt Noll
173     * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
174     Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
175     * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
176     * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
177     instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
178     * update manpage slightly
179     * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
180     * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
181     * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
182     ip.c, request.c, response.c
183     * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
184     into create_server_socket and drop_privs
185     * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
186     * set umask after opening /dev/null
187     * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
188     * removed old, unused chroot code
189     * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
190     * move fork later in the startup
191     * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
192     * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
193     requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
194     * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
195     access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
196     (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
197     * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
198     * always attempt a 32k read right before close
199     (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
200     * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
201     and http version
202     * don't use inline functions
203     * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
204     * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
205     * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
206     * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
207     * remove tests section in Makefile.in
208     * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
209     * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
210     * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
211     inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
212     * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
213     assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
214     * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
215     modified version by Liam Widdowson
216     * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
217     for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
218     authored by Wes Hardaker
219     * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
220     * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
221     for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
222     portability tests for localtime.
223     * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
224     it properly.
225     * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
226     with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
227     using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
228     timezone designation.
229     * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
230     heavy load by many different files.
231     Found and squashed by Michal Kara
232     * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
233     This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
234     * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
235     CGIs have no business knowing that information
236     * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
237     Bug found by Matt Callaway
238     * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
239     (they aren't used anyway)
240     * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
241     to select()
242     * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
243     * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
244     * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
245     * update .depend file
246     * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
247     add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
248     accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
249     to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
250     Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
251     * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
252     * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
253     dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
254     * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
255     * boa.objdump target added
256     * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
257     * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
258     * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
259     * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
260     * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
261     http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
262     * use _exit not exit in CGI child
263     * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
264     sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
265     things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
266     to place the new request on the active list anyway.
267     * update some Copyright statements for 2002
268     * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
269     the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
270     * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
271     trying to use it
272     * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
273     than some complicated variation on the pathname
274     * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
275     Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
276     throughout the life of the structure.
277     * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
278     CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
279     * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
280     and translate_uri
281     * remove debian package information
282     * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
283     * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
284     * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
285     hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
286     * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
287     involving negative return values from hash routines.
288     This has been fixed.
289     * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
290     statistical output via sigalarm
291     * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
292     * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
293     * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
294     * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
295     * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
296     when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
297     and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
298     before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
299     by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
300     * pull select loop into select.c
301     * poll server socket once per active connection
302     * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
303     * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
304     * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
305     * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
306     consume its full share of CPU until killed
307     Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
308     * add CGIPath configuration variable
309     based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
310     * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
311     accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
312     the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
313     issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
314     Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
315     * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
316     * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
317     (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
318     * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
319     * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
320     with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
321     * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
322     * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
323     * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
324     * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
325     make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
326     * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
327     * fix bug in CgiPath logic
328     * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
329     * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
330     [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
331     * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
332     * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
333    
334     ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
335     * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
336     * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
337     * rearrange some header files and includes
338     * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
339     * include fix by William Meadows
340     for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
341     * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
342     escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
343     at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
344    
345     ** Changes from 0.94.10 to 0.94.10.1
346     * Actually update the SERVER_VERSION in src/defines.h
347    
348     ** Changes from 0.94.9 to 0.94.10
349     * Fixes escaping rules
350     * Fixes segfault when directory_index is undefined and
351     directory needs to be generated
352     * adds dummy signal handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 (Closes SF #425921)
353     * Update documentation regarding mime.types (Closes Debian #69991)
354     * Make sure documentation builds (Closes Debian #110818)
355    
356     ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
357     * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
358     from autoconf
359     * Update escaping rules with latest RFC
360     * unescape_uri skips fragments and also stop parsing at '?'
361     * Don't accept fd over FD_SETSIZE in request.c:get_request
362     * use backported documentation from 0.95
363     * make sure POST fd gets closed even on client cancel
364     * use backported index_dir.c from 0.95
365     * support subdirectories in ScriptAlias directories
366     * add SinglePostLimit (int, in Kilobytes) to config system
367     * check for ENOSPC on body write
368     * use environment variable TMP (or "/tmp" if not available),
369     and chdir there when boa exits.
370     * add 1-time-only hack to make a 32kB read at the end of a request
371     on POST or PUT
372     * close unused file descriptors (/dev/null in boa.c, and the
373     unused part of the pipes call in cgi.c)
374     * made Makefile.in VPATH happy
375    
376     ** Changes from 0.94.8.2 to 0.94.8.3
377     * Move unescape_uri *before* clean_pathname to prevent
378     encoding of / and .. in pathname
379     * wrap execution of GUNZIP in cgi.c with #ifdef GUNZIP
380     * stop parsing when fragment found in URL ('#')
381    
382     ** Changes from 0.94.8.1 to 0.94.8.2
383     * close pipes[1] in child and generate HTTP_REFERER environment
384     variable in cgi.c
385     * Minor changes to the Debian package
386    
387     ** Changes from 0.94.8 to 0.94.8.1
