3.0: More or less a ground-up rewrite. A few fnord parts remain here and there. 2.0: Replace poll with select, which is more portable and may be slightly faster; however, it's only called for CGI and by that point you've lost quite a bit in terms of speed Remove Accept header parsing: it was broken and the result was that the Accept header had no effect Remove the .gz trick: I never used it, but I would not be averse to adding it back if people liked it Rename to "eris httpd" to acknowledge fork Add regression test suite Replace compile-time options with command-line ones Fix segfault with directory listing of / Replace buffer_1 and buffer_2 with stdio Replace libowfat with libc Add all patches from (defunct) Debian package Fix if-modified-since date parsing Make text content-types use charset=UTF-8 Change default content-type to application/octet-stream Makefile no longer overrides CC and CPP from parent makes Don't send Content-type if there's no content New maintainer: Neale Pickett 1.10: have fallback in case sendfile fails 1.9: chdir to cgi's base dir (Kuba Winnicki) set HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING environment variable (Kuba Winnicki) We actually should export all HTTP headers as HTTP_[header] Any takers? Try not to send error message HTTP headers if we already sent the headers from the CGI (Kuba Winnicki) <=ims (Gerrit Pape) 64-bit file I/O cleanliness fix HTTP ranges (Joachim Berdal Haga via Gerrit Pape) 1.8: keep current environment in CGI (Laurent Bercot) make fnord-conf use the UID and not the user name (Fridtjof Busse) fix typo in buffer_putulonglong (Gerrit Pape) fix CGI POST off-by-two typo (Mark Hopf) fix gif->png conversion (Thomas Seck) remove == bashism from fnord-conf (Thomas Seck) add bittorrent mime type make authorization data available to CGIs for GET, too (Paul Jarc) fix conversion of host name to lower case (Gerrit Pape) add small test cgi: cgi-post.c fix CGI POST bug (Moe Wibble) fix CGI PATH_TRANSLATED bug (Nicolas George) add optional authentication support (Nicolas George, see README.auth) make sure error messages are text/html move /. -> /: conversion before demangling so it can actually be used as security measure for installations that don't use chroot 1.7: add .mov and .qt for quicktime, .mpg for video/mpeg and .wav for audio/x-wav add mmap based file serving (should do zero-copy tcp just like sendfile) add Pragma: no-cache to CGI responses fix (apparently not exploitable) buffer overrun in do_cgi This bug was found by Ralf Wildenhues. To my knowledge it is impossible to exploit this bug on any platform known to me. fix (harmless) access to uninitialized data 1.6: add support for $PATH_INFO in CGI environment. add .pac for netscape proxy autoconfig add .sig for application/pgp-signature 1.5: fix write timeout handling (found by Lukas Beeler) fix fnord-conf to use the symbolic account name in run script (Sebastian D.B. Krause) 1.4: add dangling symlink based whole-host redirection (see README). This has the advantage that it can serve normal sites and redirect sites on the same IP. add support for non-TCP UCSPI environments (like ucspi-ssl). Please get the latest version of my ucspi-tcp IPv6 patch as I violated the UCSPI spec with all versions before 0.88-diff11. change logging from "127.0.0.1 200 23 Links_(0.96;_Unix) none /index.html" to "127.0.0.1 200 23 localhost Links_(0.96;_Unix) none /index.html" (i.e. include the Host: header). Suggested by Thomas Bader. add "immediate mode". If you give fnord a command line argument, it will change to that directory and if no "default" directory is given, it will assume there are no virtual hosts and serve from the current directory. I have a shell script called "http" that does tcpserver -RHl localhost 0 8000 /home/leitner/bin/fnord-idx . to share some directory on my hard drive with some poor Windows users without npoll (http://www.fefe.de/ncp/). fnord-idx is a new target (a fnord with DIR_LIST) that is auto-built by make. 1.3: make directory listings use non-proportional fonts (thanks, Antonio Dias) fnord will now optionally (default: enabled) normalize the incoming host name, i.e. "www.domain.com" -> "www.domain.com:80". That should cut down on the number of symbolic links. ;) remove timeout error message. fnord will not drop the connection without error message. Mozilla used to display the error message when the user caused another request on the connection with the timeout. Uwe Ohse found two more compilation problems. 1.2: Olaf: I changed my initial CGI-interface to NOT use the filesystem but two pipes. Add whole-host redirect (see README) Olaf: added direcory-lists and "index.cgi" support (normal CGI only ! "nph-index.cgi" is not supported). Fixed some problematic parts in the CGI-interface (\n -> \r\n converter for http-header and CGI crash handling) Fix gzip encoding bug that only happened with keep-alive 1.1: ship with the parts from libowfat that we actually use minor speed-up. sendfile is a drag for very small files, so those are now sent through the same buffer the header is sent through. That sends the whole answer in one TCP packet if you are lucky, even without the TCP_CORK magic from Linux. Major speed-up for benchmarks ;) 1.0: initial release
