Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: hydra_0_1_4
Changes since 1.51: +2 -1 lines
ported to gnutls 0.9.x and some other minor fixes.

1 nmav 1.52 ** Changes from 0.1.3 to 0.1.4 - 03/11/2003
2 nmav 1.51 * Better large file support (now uses the included autoconf macros)
3 nmav 1.52 * Added dependency on gnutls 0.9.5
4 nmav 1.51
5 nmav 1.50 ** Changes from 0.1.2 to 0.1.3 - 20/01/2003
6     * Added DefaultCharset configuration directive. The default
7     character set given, will be appended to all text mime types.
8     * Corrected bug in KeepAlive usage in HTTP/1.1, which made the
9     server to ignore the value sent by the client.
10     * CGIAction can now be used even if HIC CGIs are disabled.
11     * Some optimizations in HTTP header parsing.
12     * Added a more complete mime.types in examples/ contributed by
13     <voidnull@qnet.pl>.
14     * Added the MaxSSLConnections configuration directive.
15     * Two mutexes are used in accept to allow parallel accepts
16     of SSL and plain connections.
17     * Added Dependency on gnutls 0.8.0.
18    
19     ** Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.1.2 - 08/01/2003
20     * Allow running the server as root, if explicitly stated in
21     configuration file. Patch by James Harr <james@grickle.org>
22     * Better pthreads detection.
23     * Outputs to error log if non executable CGIs are found.
24     * Does not close HTTP/1.1 connections by default.
25     * The current behavour is to demand the Host header in HTTP/1.1
26     requests.
27     * Added support for CGIAction CGIs. There are just like CGIs
28     but they are not executed. They are parsed using a given program.
29     * Added init script for redhat in contrib/redhat/rc.hydra,
30     contributed by <voidnull@qnet.pl>.
31    
32     ** Changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1 - 17/12/2002
33     * Corrected bug in Keep-Alive mode when SSL or TLS was enabled.
34     * Fixed unexpected timeout in first connection on an idle server.
35    
36 nmav 1.49 ** Changes from 0.0.10 to 0.1.0 - 16/11/2002
37     * No changes. This is the final release by me --Nikos
38    
39 nmav 1.48 ** Changes from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10 - 08/11/2002
40 nmav 1.47 * Corrected bug in error logging.
41     * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of TMP to get
42     the temporary directory.
43    
44 nmav 1.46 ** Changes from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 - 27/10/2002
45 nmav 1.42 * Long offsets are not used by default.
46     * Use of pipes instead of temporary files, if the post data sent
47     are less than PIPE_BUF.
48 nmav 1.44 * More consistent logging. The server's hostname or "unknown"
49 nmav 1.43 are prepended to the log message.
50 nmav 1.44 * Corrected redirection/aliases behaviour, to match the documented one.
51 nmav 1.45 * SSLParamsRefresh was renamed to MaintenanceInterval and is more
52     generic, since it includes some server cleanups.
53     * Added file access control lists per virtual host. Based on patch for
54     Boa by Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
55 nmav 1.46 * Added the ability to disable HIC threads by using 0 in the
56     HICThreads configuration directive.
57     * Hydra now uses poll by default. Select is available using the --with-select
58     configure option.
59 nmav 1.42
60 nmav 1.41 ** Changes from 0.0.7 to 0.0.8 - 25/10/2002
61 nmav 1.36 * Better pthread detection.
62 nmav 1.40 * Better detection of dlopen call.
63 nmav 1.37 * Some changes to compile in gcc 2.95
64 nmav 1.40 * Added support for FreeBSD's sendfile (untested).
65 nmav 1.38 [Ported from Boa 0.94.14rc1]
66     * add new state, IOSHUFFLE, which utilizes sendfile (or
67     emulates it using the request's buffer, otherwise)
68     * make the default socket size 32K. The client_stream_size stays constant
69     at 8K, and the new 'buffer' size is 4K
70     Note also that the new code uses the "default" socket buffer size
71     it obtains with the first accept()ed socket.
72     * make default behavior be to leave stderr alone, but tie it
73     to cgilog otherwise
74 nmav 1.40 * add [optional, Linux-only] check for sendfile system call
75 nmav 1.38 * use --disable-sendfile to disable sendfile support
76     sendfile support for files > 100K is default, now.
77     It's significantly faster and easier than the alternative
78     * umask ~0770 before exec
79     * tie stdout to the access_log, unless there is no access_log,
80     in which case tie it to /dev/null
81     * use sensible defaults for umask (077) and (027 for CGI)
82     * add and document new parameters (CGILog and CGIumask)
83     * vast improvements to the cgi-test.cgi program, by Jon Nelson
84     and Landon Curt Noll.
85     * next 3 items by Don Mahurin (patches modified somewhat):
86     * pidfile patch
87     * default mime_types patch
88     * NCSA environment environment variables wrapped in
89     #ifdef USE_NCSA_CGI_ENV
90     * fix some escaping issues with the directory indexer
91     (Ulf Harnhammar)
92     * backport poll support from 0.95
93 nmav 1.36
94 nmav 1.35 ** Changes from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7 - 10/10/2002
95 nmav 1.26 * Added support for large files in 32 bit systems.
96 nmav 1.27 * Added support for SSL_* variables in CGIs.
97 nmav 1.28 * Added options in configuration file, to request and verify
98     a client certificate.
99 nmav 1.34 * The headers of HIC-CGIs are now parsed by the server.
100 nmav 1.33 * Corrected behavour in SIGHUP signal handling, to reread
101 nmav 1.29 the SSL related variables.
102 nmav 1.33 * Children and HIC threads are now killed using a signal, to avoid
103     unexpected errors, and memory leaks.
104 nmav 1.26
105 nmav 1.24 ** Changes from 0.0.5 to 0.0.6 - 03/10/2002
106 nmav 1.21 * Compatibility functions are now automatically included in hydra, if
107     they are not found by the configure script.
108 nmav 1.22 * Replaced the included scandir function, with the one in libc.
109 nmav 1.23 * Fixed code, which compiled fine with gcc 3.2, but didn't compile at
110 nmav 1.22 all, with any other compiler!
111 nmav 1.23 * Improved the MaxConnections directive semantics.
112 nmav 1.25 * Added a very primitive mime.types file in examples/ directory.
113 nmav 1.21
114 nmav 1.20 ** Changes from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 - 02/10/2002
115 nmav 1.18 * If a requested CGI is not accesible then send 404 not found, instead
116     of trying to execute it.
117 nmav 1.19 * Corrected several stuff in HIC CGI handler. This allows Cookies,
118     POST data and Queries to work properly.
119 nmav 1.18
120 nmav 1.17 ** Changes from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4 - 30/09/2002
121 nmav 1.14 * Added support for If-Range, If-Match, If-None-Match HTTP/1.1 header
122     fields. The server also generates ETag headers for static content using
123 nmav 1.15 the last modified field of the file, and the file size. This makes
124     Hydra cache friendly.
125 nmav 1.16 * Added support for multiple HIC threads. This gives a boost to script generation
126 nmav 1.22 since they are no longer generated sequentially.
127 nmav 1.14
128 nmav 1.13 ** Changes from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3 - 28/09/2002
129 nmav 1.11 * Added support for dynamic modules that handle CGIs
130     internally (HIC). That way Hydra can run PHP.
131     * Fixes in CGI execution. CGIs that are not passed from aliasing
132     functions now properly set PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED.
133     (Needs further cleanup).
134 nmav 1.12 * Cleaned up SSL support. Now hydra can be compiled even if gnutls
135     is not available.
136 nmav 1.11
137 nmav 1.9 ** Changes from Boa/0.94.13 to Hydra/0.0.2 - 26/09/2002
138 nmav 1.2 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
139     * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
140     run over a pool of threads.
141     * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
142     the mmap list table is full.
143     * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
144 nmav 1.4 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
145 nmav 1.5 Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
146     take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
147 nmav 1.3 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
148     * Cleaned up the CGI handling (gunzip, indexer are treated as CGIs)
149 nmav 1.10 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
150 nmav 1.7 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
151     * Dropped support for gunzip.
152 nmav 1.8 * Use automake to create the distribution.
153 nmav 1.2
154 nmav 1.1 ** Changes from 0.94.12 to 0.94.13
155     * Change many instances of log_error_mesg + exit to DIE macro
156     * Change all instance of log_error_mesg (without exit) to WARN macro
157     * do a much better job of checking return values from malloc and
158     especially strdup.
159     * check results of calling umask and getrlimit
160     * server_s is no longer a global int
161     * check results of fork via switch instead of if (fork())
162     * check for getopt.h and include it if found
163     * remove unused #defines, and add WARN macro, and replace
164     many calls to log_error_mesg(..) with WARN macro
165     * fix bug in get_commonlog_time where time_offset calculation was
166     the opposite of what it should be ('-' and '+' were swapped)
167     * fix compatability bug with old and newer versions of flex/yacc
168     * add check for AC_FUNC_MMAP to configure.in
169     * fix really lame thinko in normalize_path, which would prepend the
170     results of earlier calls to results from later calls
171     * Add MaxConnections, a configuration directive which allows the
172     user to specify the maximum number of connections that Boa will
173     accept concurrently.
174     * add SERVER_ADDR and REQUEST_URI to environment of CGI
175     * handle SIGBUS during writes of data that has been memory mapped
176     * minor optimization in select.c that prevents DEAD requests from
177     being added to the block set
178     * fix bug in CGI environment script_name - closes sf.net bug #576725
179     * make 'status' variable local to requests.c, not local to every file
180     by forgetting to declare 'extern' in globals.h :-|
181     * make getsockname non-fatal, and do it every time because we may
182     need it for the CGI
183     * some minor refactoring optimizations in hash.c
184    
185     ** Changes from 0.94.11 to 0.94.12
186     * Renamed Changelog ChangeLog, and moved up to top-level directory
187     * Next 3 items due in part or whole thanks to
188     Liam Widdowson
189     * when printf'ing a pid type, force to int, because it could be
190     something else on other platforms. Should probably change it to
191     a long, and use that.
192     * backported chroot commandline support from 0.95
193     * backported support for strdup, strstr, alphasort, and scandir
194     from 0.95
195     * Fixed src/Makefile.in -- it didn't remove index_dir.o
196     * backport create_temporary_file from 0.95
197     (instead of using tmpnam)
198     * Allow non-standard date format 31 September 2000 23:59:59 GMT
199     Patch by Landon Curt Noll
200     * Skip whitespace before HTTP/major.minor
201     Adapted patch from Landon Curt Noll
202     * open /dev/null first thing (affects chrooting)
203     * properly handle sigalrm -- use sigalrm_flag and sigalrm_run
204     instead of handling the signal in the signal handler
205     * update manpage slightly
206     * send 400 BAD Request when resource does not start with '/'
207     * add grp.h to boa.h's includes -- remove from boa.c and config.c
208     * removed duplicate header includes from boa.c, config.c, get.c,
209     ip.c, request.c, response.c
210     * factor out creating the server socket and dropping privs
211     into create_server_socket and drop_privs
212     * type all functions in boa.c (except main) as static
213     * set umask after opening /dev/null
214     * tie stdin/stdout to /dev/null before commandline parse
215     * removed old, unused chroot code
216     * move builds_needs_escape earlier in the startup
217     * move fork later in the startup
218     * type all c_set_* as static in config.c
219     * don't bother trying to change uid/gid (or error if the
220     requested uid/gid doesn't exist) if not UID 0
221     * return more appropriate error code when foo.html gives
222     access denied, but foo.html.gz gives some other error
223     (essentially report error associated with foo.html, not foo.html.gz)
224     * send NOT Implemented when an unknown method is attempted
225     * always attempt a 32k read right before close
226     (stopgap until blackhole can be merged)
227     * allow more than 1 space in logline between method, resource,
228     and http version
229     * don't use inline functions
230     * update configure.in so that autoconf 2.50 doesn't complain (as much)
231     * properly use VPATH and srcdir according to autoconf docs
232     * change curly-braces to parentheses in Makefilein
233     * use $^ instead of manually listing the dependencies in Makefile.in
234     * remove tests section in Makefile.in
235     * write tags not TAGS in Makefile.in
236     * Add gethostbyname and inet_aton to function checks
237     * Add code from 0.95 which checks for socket in -lsocket,
238     inet_aton in -lresolv, and gethost{by}name in -lnsl
239     * Also remove broken bc-based "how big is an unsigned int" checks:
240     assume minimum of 32 bits and check in escape.c at runtime.
241     * Added new file: README.chroot.solaris, based on a
242     modified version by Liam Widdowson
243     * Add check_struct_for.m4, which allows us to check a structure
244     for a member (found at http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/
245     authored by Wes Hardaker
246     * Call "aclocal -I ." to rebuild aclocal.m4
247     * Using new check-struct-for-member autoconf macro, check
248     for tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm -- useful in
249     portability tests for localtime.
250     * Also check sockaddr_in for structure sin_len so we can set
251     it properly.
252     * index_dir.c (which ends up in boa_indexer) can now be compiled
253     with USE_LOCALTIME, and if so, it will report the local time
254     using the timezone name. Otherwise it uses UTC time and UTC
255     timezone designation.
256     * fix buglet in mmap_cache.c which shows up when under
257     heavy load by many different files.
258     Found and squashed by Michal Kara
259     * normalize paths on Aliases, log files, server root, dirmaker
260     This makes sure that paths are 'absolute'
261     * don't generate DOCUMENT_ROOT or SERVER_ROOT,
262     CGIs have no business knowing that information
263     * if CGI, chdir to the cgi's root path
264     Bug found by Matt Callaway
265     * remove ChrootPath and PidFile directives from the parser
266     (they aren't used anyway)
267     * keep track of maximum file descriptor in use to optimize call
268     to select()
269     * apply IPv6 patch from Jari Korva
270     * optimize keep-alive copy data routine
271     * try to use memcpy instead of strcpy/strcat in more places (alias.c)
272     * update .depend file
273     * use fcntl + GET_FL to get a file descriptor's flags, then
274     add or remove only the bits we want to set. This prevents
275     accidentally setting or unsettings bits we don't have anything
276     to do with inadvertantly. (removed, at least temporarily.
277     Show me a system where it is needed -- LRD)
278     * make sure to call FD_ZERO when we handle a restart
279     * in read.c, don't call boa_perror on read failure -- socket is
280     dead or messed up anyway, no reason to try to write to it.
281     * explicit .SUFFIXES in Makefile.in
282     * boa.objdump target added
283     * use @MAKE_SET@ (for when $(MAKE) != "make")
284     * add -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wredundant-decls -Winline to GCC_FLAGS
285     * change Paul Phillips' and Larry Doolittle's emails in source
286     * add --disable-debug, --enable-profile, --with-dmalloc, and --with-efence
287     * test for failed-but-return-was-successful setuid:
288     http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1322
289     * use _exit not exit in CGI child
290     * always place new keepalive request on blocked list, we can't be
291     sure of the state of the active list, and since enqueue places
292     things at the *front* of the list, it doesn't do us much good
293     to place the new request on the active list anyway.
294     * update some Copyright statements for 2002
295     * When comparing the uri to an alias, only compare if
296     the uri length is greater than or equal to the length of the alias
297     * in init_script_alias, make sure to check for document_root before
298     trying to use it
299     * script_name is now just a copy of the request, rather
300     than some complicated variation on the pathname
301     * change the way the CGI environment is handled.
302     Now, it is allocated at request allocation time, and exists
303     throughout the life of the structure.
304     * check memory allocations, etc.. when creating the static
305     CGI environment and when making new CGI environment variables
306     * wait until process_option_end to call unescape_uri, clean_pathname,
307     and translate_uri
308     * remove debian package information
309     * move RedHat packaging information to contrib
310     * remove tests -- they weren't usable anyway
311     * add some new hash routines, and use djb2 (a variant on a
312     hash algorithm popularized by Dan J. Bernstein)
313     * a side-effect of the new hash routines is a bugfix,
314     involving negative return values from hash routines.
315     This has been fixed.
316     * add a routine, show_hash_stats, which is called with other
317     statistical output via sigalarm
318     * remove some duplicate prototypes from config.c
319     * make simple_itoa take an unsigned int
320     * try to make NOBLOCK handling in compat.h compatible with Solaris
321     * make sure to update current_time before calling signal handlers
322     * alter primary loop to make sure that select gets called even
323     when there are requests that are not blocking, and call fdset_update
324     and process_requests (when appropriate) after signal handlers but
325     before select to make sure that blocked requests are still handled
326     by select after a sighup. (Thanks to Karl Olsen)
327     * pull select loop into select.c
328     * poll server socket once per active connection
329     * add send_r_service_unavailable and use it when appropriate
330     * state uptime in seconds at normal program termination
331     * include sys/fcntl.h if it is found by configure
332     * fix POST bug where a content-length < 0 would cause Boa to
333     consume its full share of CPU until killed
334     Bug report by Landon Curt Noll
335     * add CGIPath configuration variable
336     based upon a patch by Landon Curt Noll
337     * add function boa_atoi, which wraps atoi, but does not
338     accept negative values. Additionally, it checks to make sure
339     the converted value and the original value are the same, avoiding
340     issues like "124.3" -> "123" and "123abc" -=> "123".
341     Either a value is an int or it isn't - no middle ground.
342     * use boa_atoi to convert content-length from client.
343     * add new #define - SINGLE_POST_LIMIT_DEFAULT, which defines
344     (in bytes) the *default* single_post_limit.
345     * single_post_limit is now in bytes.
346     * when adding aliases, only "normalize" paths that start
347     with "./" - this is a departure from previous behavior
348     * add "?" to the list of characters that it is safe to leave unescaped
349     * clean up Makefile.in of no-longer-pertinent comments
350     * add send_r_bad_gateway and use it
351     * tie stderr to either cgi_log_fd or devnullfd - either way
352     make sure stderr is a valid filehandle before cgi execution
353     * cgi_env is no longer allocated, it's part of the struct now
354     * fix bug in CgiPath logic
355     * when unable to allocate memory for an environment variable, log it
356     * add clear_common_env, which de-allocates the cgi_common_env stuff
357     [NEVER USE THIS outside of a terminal signal handler!]
358     * don't be so wasteful of memory in normalize_path
359     * adapted fix for alias expansion from Brieuc Jeunhomme
360    
361     ** Changes from 0.94.10.1 to 0.94.11
362     * use LIBS in Makefile.in (which propagates from autoconf)
363     * properly free memory allocated by scandir in index_dir.c
364     * rearrange some header files and includes
365     * on reads and writes, don't check for -1, check for < 0
366     * include fix by William Meadows
367     for escape.c which fixes segfaults due to improper allocation
368     * above fix by William Meadows no longer needed;
369     escape.c and escape.h rewritten by Larry Doolittle -- requires
370     at least 32 bit words, but is correct (jdn's 1st attempt was faulty)
371    
372     ** Changes from 0.94.10 to 0.94.10.1
373     * Actually update the SERVER_VERSION in src/defines.h
374    
375     ** Changes from 0.94.9 to 0.94.10
376     * Fixes escaping rules
377     * Fixes segfault when directory_index is undefined and
378     directory needs to be generated
379     * adds dummy signal handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 (Closes SF #425921)
380     * Update documentation regarding mime.types (Closes Debian #69991)
381     * Make sure documentation builds (Closes Debian #110818)
382    
383     ** Changes from 0.94.8.3 to 0.94.9
384     * src/Makefile.in updated to take CFLAGS, LIBS, and LDFLAGS
385     from autoconf
