Using authentication blocks one can define "authentication" mechanisms
in Kore for page handlers.
This can be used to require a session cookie (validated by your own validator)
for certain page handlers, and hopefully in the future provide a framework
for adding more authentication things (like HTTP Auth).
Right now only cookie checking is available.
Example:
validator v_id function v_id_function
validator v_url regex ^/url/path/[a-z]*$
You can then call these using kore_validator_run(char *, char *), example:
if (!kore_validator_run("v_url", req->path))
[req->path is bad];
Allows you to configure maximum amount of seconds an HTTP connection
can stay open (does not affect SPDY connections). If set to 0 it will
disable keep-alive all together.
Add some inttypes fluff.
If enabled Kore adds the HSTS header to every response.
- Additionally, fix some typos in the example configuration.
- Change default SSL cipher list again, no more RC4 and almost PFS for all browsers.
- http_header_max:
Maximum size of HTTP headers (in non SPDY connections).
- http_postbody_max:
Maximum size of an HTTP POST body (both in SPDY and HTTP mode).
Right now Kore will simply DC the client, ideally we want to send
a 413 (entity too large) to the client however.
See modules/examples/module.conf for more.
- Introduce own memory management system on top of malloc to keep track
of all our allocations and free's. Later we should introduce a pooling
mechanism for fixed size allocations (http_request comes to mind).
- Introduce ssl_cipher in configuration.
Memory usage is kind of high right now, but it seems its OpenSSL
doing it rather then Kore.
new connections and which ones will not be notified for it.
Fixes the thundering herd problem, and nicely spreads out load between
all the workers equally. A configuration option (workers_max_connections)
is available to tweak how many connections a worker will have before
giving up the accept lock.
Two ways are added to this commit for access locking:
- Locking via semaphores.
- Locking via GCC's builtin atomic methods.
The default is running with semaphores disabled (OpenBSD cannot do
sem_init() with pshared set to 1, which is required).
If you want to use semaphores add KORE_USE_SEMAPHORES to CFLAGS,
and -lpthread to LDFLAGS in the Makefile.
Other fixes:
- BSD: add a timeout to kevent().
- Merge kore_worker_wait together, linux knows waitpid() as well.
- Send the correct SIGQUIT signal to workers instead of SIGINT.
- Fix kore_time_ms().
- Log fatal worker messages in syslog.
- Refactor code even more.
- Do not free our own kore_worker structure.
static / serve_index
static /foo serve_foo
dynamic / serve_other
/ will be matched to serve_index, while /foo will be matched to serve_foo and /bar will be matched to serve_other for example.
