- make sure we can serve updated files even if we have an old
fileref around.
- add filemap_index as a configuration option: allows one to specify
what file to serve if a directory was requested (eg: index.html)
A filemap is a way of telling Kore to serve files from a directory
much like a traditional webserver can do.
Kore filemaps only handles files. Kore does not generate directory
indexes or deal with non-regular files.
The way files are sent to a client differs a bit per platform and
build options:
default:
- mmap() backed file transfer due to TLS.
NOTLS=1
- sendfile() under FreeBSD, macOS and Linux.
- mmap() backed file for OpenBSD.
The opened file descriptors/mmap'd regions are cached and reused when
appropriate. If a file is no longer in use it will be closed and evicted
from the cache after 30 seconds.
New API's are available allowing developers to use these facilities via:
void net_send_fileref(struct connection *, struct kore_fileref *);
void http_response_fileref(struct http_request *, struct kore_fileref *);
Kore will attempt to match media types based on file extensions. A few
default types are built-in. Others can be added via the new "http_media_type"
configuration directive.
You can now per domain configure the depth for x509 chain validation:
client_verify_depth 1
By default this is 1.
While here change around some log messages and properly set
the callback for x509 verification rather then via hoops and loops.
This function now takes any remaining arguments passed on the command line
after kore parsed its own.
For C the new prototype looks like this:
void kore_parent_configure(int argc, char **argv);
For python code, kore will pass each argument to the function so you
can do things like:
def kore_parent_configure(arg1, arg2):
Mimics how the header files are installed on a system
as PREFIX/include/kore.
This is required for getting kodev to use the headers from the
kore_source option instead of requiring the kore headers to be
installed on the system even when building as a single_binary.
