Provide means to encode redirect and rewrite backreference substitutions
%{encb64u:...} encode to base64url characters (no-padding)
%{decb64u:...} decode from base64url characters
server.http-parseopts = ( ... ) URL normalization options
Note: *not applied* to CONNECT method
Note: In a future release, URL normalization likely enabled by default
(normalize URL, reject control chars, remove . and .. path segments)
To prepare for this change, lighttpd.conf configurations should
explicitly select desired behavior by enabling or disabling:
server.http-parseopts = ( "url-normalize" => "enable", ... )
server.http-parseopts = ( "url-normalize" => "disable" )
x-ref:
"lighttpd ... compares URIs to patterns in the (1) url.redirect and (2) url.rewrite configuration settings before performing URL decoding, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, and obtain sensitive information or possibly modify data."

unit tests for request processing
collect existing request processing tests from Perl tests/*.t
(test_request.c runs *much* more quickly than Perl tests/*.t)

decodes websockets and passes body back and forth from backend
(body could be known protocol such as JSON, or any custom protocol)

common codebase for socket backends, based off mod_fastcgi with
some features added for mod_proxy
(mostly intended to reduce code duplication and enhance code isolation)
mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi can now use fastcgi.balance and scgi.balance
for similar behavior as proxy.balance, but the balancing is per-host
and not per-proc. proxy.balance is also per-host and not per-proc.
mod_proxy and mod_scgi can now use proxy.map-extensions and
scgi.map-extensions, similar to fastcgi.map-extensions.
mod_fastcgi behavior change (affects only mod_status):
- statistics tags have been renamed from "fastcgi.*" to "gw.*"
"fastcgi.backend.*" -> "gw.backend.*"
"fastcgi.active-requests" -> "gw.active-requests"
("fastcgi.requests" remains "fastcgi.requests")
("proxy.requests" is new)
("scgi.requests" is new)
mod_scgi behavior change (likely minor):
- removed scgi_proclist_sort_down() and scgi_proclist_sort_up().
procs now chosen based on load as measured by num socket connnections
Note:
modules using gw_backend.[ch] are currently still independent modules.
If it had been written as a single module with fastcgi, scgi, proxy
implementations, then there would have been a chance of breaking some
existing user configurations where module ordering made a difference
for which module handled a given request, though for most people, this
would have made no difference.
Details about mod_fastcgi code transformations:
unsigned int debug -> int debug
fastcgi_env member removed from plugin_config
renamed "fcgi" and "fastcgi" to "gw", and "FCGI" to "GW"
reorganize routines for high-level and lower-level interfaces
some lower-level internal interfaces changed to use host,proc,debug
args rather than knowing about higher-level (app) hctx and plugin_data
tabs->spaces and reformatting
define MSG_DONTWAIT and MSG_NOSIGNAL to be no-ops on platforms
without support. (fd should already be configured O_NONBLOCK
and SIGPIPE signal is configured to be ignored)
(thx avij and wardw)
large code move, but minimal changes made to code (besides whitespace),
so that code builds
next: need to isolate openssl data structures and config parsing
