|
||
|
|
<h3>Minor Features</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add LimitParseTimeout directive to abort requests that start without concluding the HTTP headers.
|
||
|
|
This optimizes the denial of service protections offered by Appweb. This was not a security
|
||
|
|
flaw, as other limit and timeout directives would have protected the server regardless.
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4/issues/73">[issue 73]</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add LimitRequestsPerClient directive to limit the number of requests that can be issued by a single
|
||
|
|
client IP address. This optimizes the denial of service protections offered by Appweb. This was not
|
||
|
|
a security flaw, as other limit and timeout directives would have protected the server regardless.
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4/issues/74">[issue 74]</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add Home directive to permit routes to store their own root directory for configuration files
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4/issues/75">[issue 75]</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Listen to both IPv4 and IPv6 in response to a single "Listen port" directive
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4/issues/76">[issue 76]</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Enhance performance and worker thread utilization by optimizing lock contention and GC yielding
|
||
|
|

<h3>API Changes</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Refactor scase to scaseless</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Changed name of ESP module entry point. Renamed "controller" to "module".
|
||
|
|
Existing controllers will need to be modified.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The HttpConn.finalized field is moved to HttpTx.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The httpCreateHandler and httpCreateFilter APIs remove the flags arg.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>HTTP_STAGE_ALL define and HTTP_STAGE_* flags removed.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The httpHandleOPtionsTrace API has a mew "methods" parameter for the supported methods
|
||
|
|
for the handler. This should be set to a comma separated list of methods in uppercase.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>All public methods are decorated with PUBLIC to export from windows DLLs. This is instead of
|
||
|
|
using dumpbin.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Many time routines have their timeout type renamed to MprTicks from MprTime. As part of a fix
|
||
|
|
for time-zone warping, timeouts are now specified in MprTick values. Ticks are measured in milliseconds
|
||
|
|
from some arbitrary system-dependant starting point. Ticks never go backwards and are monotonically
|
||
|
|
increasing.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The old MprGetTicks is renamed MprGetHiResTime.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The LimitStageBuffer directive is renamed LimitBuffer. The old name is supported.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The httpWriteBlock API now takes a flags argument. It can be set to control whether the
|
||
|
|
call blocks, buffers or non-blocks.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The WebSockets prototype adds some WebSockets specific APIs.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>auth/httpPassword program renamed to authpass for clarity</li>
|

|
||
|
|
<li>AuthName renamed to AuthRealm for clarity (old directive preserved for compatibility) </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The Group directive has been renamed GroupAccount and User renamed to UserAccount. This is to
|
||
|
|
be more descriptive as the role-based access control uses the User directive to define
|
||
|
|
user abilities for access control.</li>

<h2 class="section">New Features in 1.1.3</h2>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Major Features</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Include PHP support</li>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Minor Features</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>httpClient supports single threaded operation.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add new compact libminiStdc++ library to replace libstdc++. This reduces default memory footprint
|
||
|
|
with glibc considerably.</li>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
other internal build commands automatically set the library path where required.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Version the appweb library.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Include packaging file lists in the source release.</li>

|
<h3>Fixes</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix location of the libraries needed by PHP when creating a distribution package</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix for URLs that have trailing "." or " " in Windows. Fix prevents returning the page as pure
|
||
|
|
text. This bug affected windows systems only for handlers that are matching by extension. This
|
||
|
|
typically means ESP and PHP pages configured to match URLs by extension. If using URL prefix matching,
|
||
|
|
the bug does not appear.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix the 'h' formatting option for the CustomLog directive. This outputs the remote host name in the
|
||
|
|
access log</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix session timeouts. Session timeouts did not renew when subsequent session activity occurred.
|
||
|
|
Timeouts will now cause a session to be deleted when there is no activity on the session for the
|
||
|
|
timeout period.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Security fix for Windows allowing access to secured URLs by mixing case.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix for HEAD, and TRACE not being handled correctly by some handlers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Security fix for user message disclosing too much information when denying access. (Ziv)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix for VirtualHosts (including SSL virtual hosts) incorrectly parsing authorization configuration
|
||
|
|
directives. (Ziv)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix when using ROM fs on Windows. Was still accessing file system routines.

|
||
|
|
<li>Tighten handler checking to only respond to supported HTTP methods</li>

|
||
|
|
the page is being displayed for the first time or whether the form is being submitted.
|
||
|
|
One ESP page can be used to display and process the data.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved debug trace for httpClient and the appweb servers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved unit test for CGI and</li>

<h3>Documentation</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Lots of small fixes.</li>

</ul>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Architecture</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Enhanced post data handling. The postData handler method is now called after the run method. It
|
||
|
|
will be called as required to push post data to the handler.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Post data pull mode support. Handlers can request to pull the post data rather than having it
|
||
|
|
pushed to them. The Request::setPullPost will enable pull mode. The Request::readPostData API can be
|
||
|
|
called in the handler to pull the post data as required.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
