Was requested ages ago by Karl Jeacle, now that there is some better
support for configuring the logging there's no excuse to add this.
It helps with filtering from syslog.d / syslog.conf.
add `log style <style>'; The old default is called `legacy' now, a
new default format is added called `condensed', and `common' and
`combined' to mimick Apache httpd and nginx (respectively) are also
added.
this revamps the syntax in the configuration to better match httpd(8)
(and in general be less weird) and to allow per-location fastcgi
configurations.
the bare `param' is now deprecated, but for compatibility it acts
like `fastcgi param' would do now. Same story for `fastcgi <pathÂ>'.
Listening by default on all the addresses is so bad I don't know
why I haven't changed this before. Anyway.
Add a `listen on $hostname port $port' syntax to the config file
and deprecate the old "port" and "ipv6" global setting. Still try
to honour them when no "listen on" directive is used for backward
compatibily, but this will go away in the next next version hopefully.
At the moment the `listen on' in server context don't filter the
host, i.e. one can still reach a host from a address not specified
in the corresponding `liste on', this will be added later.
Was temporarly disabled during the transition to real privsep.
While here, fix a memory leak when using `require client ca'.
Also, avoid leaking info about the parent address space layout to
server processes by not sending pointer values.
It uses the 'common' proc.c from various OpenBSD-daemons.
gmid grew organically bit by bit and it was also the first place where I
tried to implement privsep. It wasn't done very well, in fact the
parent process (that retains root privileges) just fork()s a generation
of servers, all sharing *exactly* the same address space. No good!
Now, we fork() and re-exec() ourselves, so that each process has a fresh
address space.
Some features (require client ca for example) are temporarly disabled,
will be fixed in subsequent commits. The "ge" program is also
temporarly disabled as it needs tweaks to do privsep too.
The FreeBSD and Linux' sandbox can't deal with `fastcgi' and `proxy'
configuration rules: new sockets needs to be opened and it's either
impossible (the former) or a huge pain in the arse (the latter).
The sandbox is still always used in case only static files are served.
I really want to get rid of the `executor' process hack for CGI scripts
and its escalation to allow fastcgi and proxying to work on non-OpenBSD.
This drops the CGI support and the `executor' process entirely and is
the first step towards gmid 2.0. It also allows to have more secure
defaults.
On non-OpenBSD systems this means that the sandbox will be deactivated
as soon as fastcgi or proxying are used: you can't open sockets under
FreeBSD' capsicum(4) and I don't want to go thru the pain of making it
work under linux' seccomp/landlock. Patches are always welcome however.
For folks using CGI scripts (hey, I'm one of you!) not all hope is lost:
fcgiwrap or OpenBSD' slowcgi(8) are ways to run CGI scripts as they were
FastCGI applications.
fixes for the documentation and to the non-OpenBSD sandboxes will
follow.
add_mime nows allocate dinamically copies of the passed strings, so
that we can actually free what we parse from the config file.
This matters a lot especially with lengthy `types' block: strings that
reach the internal mapping are never free'd, so every manual addition
is leaked.
The `map' rule is powerful but quite annoying to use if you have/need
lots of entries (and clutters the configuration file too.)
The `type' block is blatantly stolen from httpd(8) and allows for a way
more nice usage:
type {
include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types"
}
or even
type {
text/markdown md markdown
text/x-perl pl pm
# ...
}
