ferronweb/ferron 2.6.0

on GitHub

Added

• Configuration directive for aborting an HTTP request.
• Support for dynamic SRV-based backend discovery for reverse proxy upstreams.
• Support for file size-based log rotation.
• Support for reusable snippets across different KDL configuration files.
• Support for Unix socket backends in the forwarded authentication module.

Changed

• Replaced the OCSP stapling implementation (that implemented RFC 5019) with a new implementation that implements RFC 6960.
• The Host header is now no longer rewritten to the proxy request URL's host by default when using plaintext HTTP for the backend servers.

Deprecated

• Rego-based subconditions are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Fixed

• Body replacement MIME type filtering was not applied correctly.
• Duplicate error log entries in certain cases.
• ETag matching wasn't applied correctly when If-Match or If-None-Match headers contained multiple ETags.
• HEAD requests for directory listings caused responses with a body.
• HTTP compression support sometimes chose the wrong compression algorithm.
• Redirect loop when using wwwredirect directive and requesting with a hostname without a port.
• TCP listener failures caused by too many open file descriptors led to an infinite logging loop.
• The Content-Range header was omitted in some 416 Range Not Satisfiable responses when serving static files.
• The least-connections algorithm sometimes incorrectly selected the backend with the most connections.
• Using Ferron with ACME directories that offer challenge types that don't present a token (like DNS-PERSIST-01) caused "missing field token" errors (fixed in instant-acme)
