* [config] server.bsd-accept-filter optionGlenn Strauss2016-06-041-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BSD accept() filters server.bsd-accept-filter = "" (default) server.bsd-accept-filter = "httpready" server.bsd-accept-filter = "dataready" Note: this is a behavior change from prior versions. The default is now no additional accept() filter, whereas prior versions unconditionally enabled "httpready" accept() filter Additionally, server.defer-accept (Linux) is inherited from global scope into $SERVER["socket"] blocks github: closes #65
* [core] lighttpd -1 handles single request on stdin socket (fixes #1584)Glenn Strauss2016-05-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | (e.g. when called from xinetd) Note: lighttpd is designed as a high performance, long-running server, not a one-shot executable. This one-shot mode of operation has not been tuned for performance. lighttpd server start-up and initialization aims for correctness, not speed. If using this one-shot mode as part of fork and exec from xinetd, then performance is already not of high concern. x-ref: "support for xinetd" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1584
* [core] cmd line opt to shutdown after idle time limit (fixes #2696)Glenn Strauss2016-05-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -i <secs> graceful shutdown after <secs> of inactivity Option might be used with applications such as git instaweb. While git instaweb does have command line options of its own to [start,stop,restart], some may find it convenient to configure git instaweb to start lighttpd with a default idle time limit, after which lighttpd will gracefully shut itself down without any further action from the user. x-ref: "[PATCH] support -i <secs> idle timeout option" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2696 original request and patch submitted by mackyle. thx.

* [mod_fastcgi] use http_response_xsendfile() (fixes #799, fixes #851, fixes ↵Glenn Strauss2016-04-271-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | #2017, fixes #2076) handle X-Sendfile and X-LIGHTTPD-send-file w/ http_response_xsendfile() if host is configured ( "x-sendfile" = "enable" ) Note: X-Sendfile path is url-decoded for consistency, like X-Sendfile2 (response headers should be url-encoded to avoid tripping over chars allowed in filesystem but which might change response header parsing semantics) Note: deprecated: "allow-x-send-file"; use "x-sendfile" Note: deprecated: X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header; use X-Sendfile header Note: deprecated: X-Sendfile2 header; use X-Sendfile header For now, X-Sendfile2 is still handled internally by mod_fastcgi. Since http_response_send_file() supports HTTP Range requests, X-Sendfile2 is effectively obsolete. However, any code, e.g. PHP, currently using X-Sendfile2 is probably manually generating 206 Partial Content status and Range response headers. A future version of lighttpd might *remove* X-Sendfile2. Existing code should be converted to use X-Sendfile, which is easily done by removing all the special logic around using X-Sendfile2, since the 206 Partial Content status and Range response headers are handled in http_response_send_file(). x-ref: "mod_fastcgi + X-Sendfile -> mod_staticfile" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/799 "Feature Request: New option "x-send-file-docroot"" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/851 "X-Sendfile handoff to mod-static-file in 1.4.x" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2017 "X-sendfile should be able to set content-type" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2076

* [mod_ssi] config ssi.conditional-requestsfbrosson2016-04-141-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: A new SSI directive, "ssi.conditional-requests", allows to inform lighttpd which SSI pages should be considered as cacheable and which should not. In particular, the "ETag" & "Last-Modified" headers will only be sent for those SSI pages for which the directive is enabled. Long description: "ETag" and "Last-Modified" headers were being sent for all SSI pages, regardless of whether they were cacheable or not. And yet, there was no cache validation at all for any SSI page. This commit fixes these two minor issues by adding a new directive, "ssi.conditional-requests", which allows to specify which SSI pages are cacheable and which are not, and by adding cache validation to those SSI pages which are cacheable. And since sending ETags for non-cacheable documents is not appropriate, they are no longuer computed nor sent for those SSI pages which are not cacheable. Regarding the "Last-Modified" header for non-cacheable documents, the standards allow to either send the current date and time for that header or to simply skip it. The approach chosen is to not send it for non-cacheable SSI pages. "ETag" and "Last-Modified" headers are therefore only sent for an SSI page if ssi.conditional-requests is enabled for that page. The ssi.conditional-requests directive can be enabled or disabled globally and/or in any context. It is disabled by default. An index.shtml which only includes deterministic SSI commands such as: <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED"--> is a trivial example of a dynamic SSI page that is cacheable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Lot of regressions (we forgot to reencode the result) - Generic problem: after decode and rewrite "a?b?c": which '?' was the path?query seperator? - Possible solution: only decode printable characters (without '?'), and encode the result; do not encode the '%' of a not decoded character. - Still a problem with path simplifying, it seems many people use urls like this: http://server1/http%3a//server2/xxx and rewrite the path into the querystring. - Probably only usable with an extra config option => Do NOT use rewrite/redirect to protect specific urls. git-svn-id: svn://svn.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/branches/lighttpd-1.4.x@2362 152afb58-edef-0310-8abb-c4023f1b3aa9
