2020-09-06manpages: update copyright yearsrofl0r
2020-09-06update documentation about signalsrofl0r
2020-09-06allow SIGUSR1 to be used as an alternative to SIGHUProfl0r
this allows a tinyproxy session in terminal foreground mode to reload its configuration without dropping active connections.
2020-09-06main.c: remove set_signal_handler code duplicationrofl0r
2020-09-06do not catch SIGHUP in foreground-moderofl0r
it's quite unexpected for an application running foreground in a terminal to keep running when the terminal is closed. also in such a case (if file logging is disabled) there's no way to see what's happening to the proxy.
2020-09-06configure.ac: fail if version script returns empty stringrofl0r
2020-09-06send_html_file(): also set empty variables to "(unknown)"rofl0r
2020-09-06version.sh: fix empty result when git describe failsrofl0r
fixes an error in travis, which makes a shallow clone of 50 commits. if the last tag is older than 50 commits, we get: "fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything." this caused a premature exit due to an assert error in safe_write() on this line: assert (count > 0); because the version variable in tinyproxy was empty.
2020-09-06run_tests.sh: print more diagnostic if killing tp failsrofl0r
2020-09-06run_tests.sh: print pid if killing tp failsrofl0r
2020-09-06configure.ac: check for all "desired" CFLAGS at oncerofl0r
in case they're all accepted, which would be the case with any halfways recent GCC, we save a lot of time over testing each flag sequentially.
2020-09-06configure.ac: remove unused checks for malloc/reallocrofl0r
2020-09-06configure.ac: remove check for strdup()rofl0r
it was being used unconditionally anyway.
2020-09-06transparent: remove usage of inet_ntoa(), make IPv6 readyrofl0r
inet_ntoa() uses a static buffer and is therefore not threadsafe. additionally it has been deprecated by POSIX. by using inet_ntop() instead the code has been made ipv6 aware. note that this codepath was only entered in the unlikely event that no hosts header was being passed to the proxy, i.e. pre-HTTP/1.1.
2020-09-06add tinyproxy website template to docs/webrofl0r
this allows to automatically generate the website from the current tinyproxy.conf.5 template. make cd docs/web make
2020-09-06Added BasicAuth to tinyproxy.conf man page.Brett Randall
2020-09-05filter: reduce memory usage, fix OOM crashesrofl0r
* check return values of memory allocation and abort gracefully in out-of-memory situations * use sblist (linear dynamic array) instead of linked list - this removes one pointer per filter rule - removes need to manually allocate/free every single list item (instead block allocation is used) - simplifies code * remove storage of (unused) input rule - removes one char* pointer per filter rule - removes storage of the raw bytes of each filter rule * add line number to display on out-of-memory/invalid regex situation * replace duplicate filter_domain()/filter_host() code with a single function filter_run() - reduces code size and management effort with these improvements, >1 million regex rules can be loaded with 4 GB of RAM, whereas previously it crashed with about 950K. the list for testing was assembled from http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz closes #20
2020-09-05filter: fix documentation about rulesrofl0r
the file docs/filter-howto.txt was removed, as it contained misleading information since it was first checked in. it suggests the syntax for filter rules is fnmatch()-like, when in fact they need to be specified as posix regular expressions. additionally it contained a lot of utterly unrelated and irrelevant/ outdated text. a few examples with the correct syntax have now been added to tinyproxy.conf.5 manpage. closes #212
2020-09-01Change loglevel for "Maximum number of connections reached"Nicolai Søborg
I was hit by this, and did not see anything in the log, connections was just hanging. Think warning is a better log level
2020-08-20travis: asciidoc is no longer neededrofl0r
2020-08-19generate manpages with pod2man instead of a2x/asciidoc(tor)rofl0r
it turned out that the upstream section in tinyproxy.conf.5 wasn't rendered properly, because in asciidoc items following a list item are always explicitly appended to the last list item. after several hours of finding a workaround, it was decided to change the manpage generator to pod2man instead. as pod2man ships together with any perl base install, it should be available on almost every UNIX system, unlike asciidoc which requires installation of a huge set of dependencies (more than 1.3 GB on Ubuntu 16.04), and the replacement asciidoctor requires a ruby installation plus a "gem" (which is by far better than asciidoc, but still more effort than using the already available pod2man). tinyproxy's hard requirement of a2x (asciidoctor) for building from source caused rivers of tears (and dozens of support emails/issues) in the past, but finally we get rid of it. a tool such as a2x with its XML based bloat- technology isn't really suited to go along with a supposedly lightweight C program. if it ever turns out that even pod2man is too heavy a dependency, we could still write our own replacement in less than 50 lines of awk, as the pod syntax is very low level and easy to parse.
2020-08-19tinyproxy.conf.5: fix typorofl0r
2020-08-19tinyproxy.conf.5: document upstream null-routingrofl0r
2020-08-19tinyproxy.conf.5: clarify that upstream none makes direct connectionrofl0r
2020-08-19upstream: allow port 0 to be specifiedrofl0r
this is useful to use upstream directive to null-route a specific target domain. e.g. upstream http 0.0.0.0:0 ".adserver.com"
2020-08-12add configure option to disable manpage generationrofl0r
using --disable-manpage-support it's finally possibly to disable the formerly obligatory use of a2x to generate the manpage documentation. this is the final solution to the decade old problem that users need to install the enormous asciidoc package to compile TINYproxy from source, or otherwise get a build error, even though the vast majority is only interested in the program itself. solution was inspired by PR #179. closes #179 closes #111 note that since 1.10.0 release the generated release tarball includes the generated manpages too; in which case neither the use of a2x nor --disable-manpage-support is required.
2020-08-11configure.ac: remove obsolete check for xsltprocrofl0r
xsltproc was once[1] used to generate AUTHORS from xml input, but fortunately this is no longer the case. [1]: in a time when everybody thought XML would be a Good Idea (TM)
2020-08-11travis: remove make distcheckrofl0r
distcheck chokes on man5/8 files still in the file tree, while the input files (.txt) are not. these are generated by the configure script and it would require quite some effort to get this test working. as it is non-essential, we simply disable it.
2020-08-11move manpages to maintainer-clean make targetrofl0r
according to https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets `maintainer-clean` is the proper make target for files that are distributed in a release tarball: > The ‘maintainer-clean’ target is intended to be used by a maintainer of the > package, not by ordinary users. > You may need special tools to reconstruct some of the files that > ‘make maintainer-clean’ deletes. this prevents users without a2x or asciidoctor from losing their ability to recompile tinyproxy after `make clean`, but it also means that users wanting to regenerate the documentation need to run `make maintainer-clean`.
2020-08-11configure.ac: fix typo checking for asciidoctor in releaserofl0r
2020-08-11travis: run make clean before second compilerofl0r
otherwise object files will not be rebuilt with the new configure options. this will prevent cases like db4bd162a3472205fb847a52948c1133e65bd9ce where it turned out there was a build error with --enable-debug since several git revisions.
2020-08-11add support for asciidoctor to generate manpagesrofl0r
asciidoctor is a modern replacement for asciidoc and much more lightweight, issuing "apt-get install asciidoc" on ubuntu 16.04 results in an attempt to install more than 1.3 GB of dependencies.
2020-07-15enforce socket timeout on new sockets via setsockopt()rofl0r
the timeout option set by the config file wasn't respected at all so it could happen that connections became stale and were never released, which eventually caused tinyproxy to hit the limit of open connections and never accepting new ones. addresses #274
2020-07-06add a comment example in the filter file exampleLucasVerneyDGE
2020-07-06fix check_acl compilation with --enable-debugxiejianjun
regression introduced in f6d4da5d81694721bf50b2275621e7ce84e6da30. this has been overlooked due to the assert macro being optimized out in non-debug builds.
2020-03-18transparent: fix invalid memory accessrofl0r
getsockname() requires addrlen to be set to the size of the sockaddr struct passed as the addr, and a check whether the returned addrlen exceeds the initially passed size (to determine whether the address returned is truncated). with a request like "GET /\r\n\r\n" where length is 0 this caused the code to assume success and use the values of the uninitialized sockaddr struct.
2020-03-16anonymous: fix segfault loading config itemrofl0r
unlike other functions called from the config parser code, anonymous_insert() accesses the global config variable rather than passing it as an argument. however the global variable is only set after successful loading of the entire config. we fix this by adding a conf argument to each anonymous_* function, passing the global pointer in calls done from outside the config parser. fixes #292
2020-01-15conf: use 2 swappable conf slots, so old config can stay validrofl0r
... in case reloading of it after SIGHUP fails, the old config can continue working. (apart from the logging-related issue mentioned in 27d96df99900c5a62ab0fdf2a37565e78f256d6a )
2020-01-15conf: fix loading of default valuesrofl0r
previously, default values were stored once into a static struct, then on each reload item by item copied manually into a "new" config struct. this has proven to be errorprone, as additions in one of the 2 locations were not propagated to the second one, apart from being simply a lot of gratuitous code. we now simply load the default values directly into the config struct to be used on each reload. closes #283
2020-01-15remove duplicate code calling reload_config_file()rofl0r
as a side effect of not updating the config pointer when loading the config file fails, the "FIXME" level comment to take appropriate action in that case has been removed. the only issue remaining when receiving a SIGHUP and encountering a malformed config file would now be the case that output to syslog/logfile won't be resumed, if initially so configured.
2020-01-15access config via a pointer, not a hardcoded struct addressrofl0r
this is required so we can elegantly swap out an old config for a new one in the future and remove lots of boilerplate from config initialization code. unfortunately this is a quite intrusive change as the config struct was accessed in numerous places, but frankly it should have been done via a pointer right from the start. right now, we simply point to a static struct in main.c, so there shouldn't be any noticeable changes in behaviour.
2020-01-15remove config file name item from conf structrofl0r
since this is set via command line, we can deal with it easily from where it is actually needed.
2020-01-15remove godaemon member from config structurerofl0r
since this option can't be set via config file, it makes sense to factor it out and use it only where strictly needed, e.g. in startup code.
2020-01-15log: remove special case code for daemonized mode without logfilerofl0r
if daemon mode is used and neither logfile nor syslog options specified, this is clearly a misconfiguration issue. don't try to be smart and work around that, so less global state information is required. also, this case is already checked for in main.c:334.
2020-01-15syslog: always use LOG_USER facilityrofl0r
LOG_DAEMON isn't specified in POSIX and the gratuitously different treatment is in the way of a planned cleanup.
2020-01-15move commandline parsing to main()rofl0r
2020-01-15move initialize_config_defaults to conf.crofl0r
2019-12-21implement detection and denial of endless connection loopsrofl0r
it is quite easy to bring down a proxy server by forcing it to make connections to one of its own ports, because this will result in an endless loop spawning more and more connections, until all available fds are exhausted. since there's a potentially infinite number of potential DNS/ip addresses resolving to the proxy, it is impossible to detect an endless loop by simply looking at the destination ip address and port. what *is* possible though is to record the ip/port tuples assigned to outgoing connections, and then compare them against new incoming connections. if they match, the sender was the proxy itself and therefore needs to reject that connection. fixes #199.
2019-12-21do hostname resolution only when it is absolutely necessary for ACL checkrofl0r
tinyproxy used to do a full hostname resolution whenever a new client connection happened, which could cause very long delays (as reported in #198). there's only a single place/scenario that actually requires a hostname, and that is when an Allow/Deny rule exists for a hostname or domain, rather than a raw IP address. since it is very likely this feature is not very widely used, it makes absolute sense to only do the costly resolution when it is unavoidable.
2019-12-21move sockaddr_union to sock.hrofl0r
