Previously, the HTTP_HOST environment variable was constructed from the
Host request header field, which doesn't work well with HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3 where Host may be supplanted by the ":authority" pseudo-header
field per RFC 9110, section 7.2. Also, it might give an incorrect
HTTP_HOST value from HTTP/1.x requests given in the absolute form, in
which case the Host header must be ignored by the server, per RFC 9112,
section 3.2.2.
The fix is to redefine the HTTP_HOST default from a protocol-specific
value given in the $host variable. This will now use the Host request
header field, ":authority" pseudo-header field, or request line target
URI depending on request HTTP version.
Also the CGI specification (RFC 3875, 4.1.18) notes
The server SHOULD set meta-variables specific to the protocol and
scheme for the request. Interpretation of protocol-specific
variables depends on the protocol version in SERVER_PROTOCOL.

The warning started to appear in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14.21,
which corresponds to the C/C++ compiler version 19.44.35221.
The appropriate fix is to avoid mixing uint64_t and ngx_uint_t in an
expression with bitwise operations. We can do that here because both
the original shm->size value and the result of the expression are 32-bit
platform words.
When using OpenSSL 3.5, the crypto_release_rcd QUIC callback can be
called late, after the QUIC connection was already closed on handshake
failure, resulting in a segmentation fault. For instance, it happened
if a client Finished message didn't align with a record boundary.
This commit is prepared for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support.
The ALPN protocol is now set per-connection in
ngx_http_upstream_ssl_init_connection(), allowing proper protocol negotiation
for each individual upstream connection regardless of SSL context sharing.
Chunked transfer encoding, since originally introduced in HTTP/1.1
in RFC 2068, is specified to use CRLF as the only line terminator.
Although tolerant applications may recognize a single LF, formally
this covers the start line and fields, and doesn't apply to chunks.
Strict chunked parsing is reaffirmed as intentional in RFC errata
ID 7633, notably "because it does not have to retain backwards
compatibility with 1.0 parsers".
A general RFC 2616 recommendation to tolerate deviations whenever
interpreted unambiguously doesn't apply here, because chunked body
is used to determine HTTP message framing; a relaxed parsing may
cause various security problems due to a broken delimitation.
For instance, this is possible when receiving chunked body from
intermediates that blindly parse chunk-ext or a trailer section
until CRLF, and pass it further without re-coding.
- Issue templates are replaced with forms. Forms allow to explicitly ask
for certain info before an issue is opened, they can be programmatically
queried via GH actions to get the data in fields.
- Added language around GH discussions vs the forum in the issue forms.
- Added GH discussions templates. These templates delineate which types
of discussions belong on GitHub vs the community forum.
- Created SUPPORT.md to delineate which types of topics belong on GitHub
vs different support channels (community forum/docs/commercial support).
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Removed text that belongs in SUPPORT.md.
- Added F5 CLA clarifying text.
- Added badges to README.md. Most of these are there to make information
even clearer, moreso for users reading README.md from sources outside
GitHub.
If request URI was shorter than location prefix, as after replacement
with try_files, location length was used to copy the remaining URI part
leading to buffer overread.
The fix is to replace full request URI in this case. In the following
configuration, request "/123" is changed to "/" when sent to backend.
location /1234 {
try_files /123 =404;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
}
Closes#983 on GitHub.
This allows to process a port subcomponent and save it in r->port
in a unified way, similar to r->headers_in.server. For HTTP/1.x
request line in the absolute form, r->host_end now includes a port
subcomponent, which is also consistent with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
Validation is rewritten to follow RFC 3986 host syntax, based on
ngx_http_parse_request_line(). The following is now rejected:
- the rest of gen-delims "#", "?", "@", "[", "]"
- other unwise delims <">, "<", ">", "\", "^", "`', "{", "|", "}"
- IP literals with a trailing dot, missing closing bracket, or pct-encoded
- a port subcomponent with invalid values
- characters in upper half
In addition to moving memcpy() under the length condition in 15bf6d8cc,
which addressed a reported UB due to string function conventions, this
is repeated for advancing an input buffer, to make the resulting code
more clean and readable.
Additionally, although considered harmless for both string functions and
additive operators, as previously discussed in GitHub PR 866, this fixes
the main source of annoying sanitizer reports in the module.

The function interface is changed to follow a common approach
to other functions used to setup SSL_CTX, with an exception of
"ngx_conf_t *cf" since it is not bound to nginx configuration.
This is required to report and propagate SSL_CTX_set_ex_data()
errors, as reminded by Coverity (CID 1668589).
For certain compilers we embed the compiler version used to build nginx
in the binary, retrievable via 'nginx -V', e.g.
$ ./objs/nginx -V
...
built by gcc 15.2.1 20250808 (Red Hat 15.2.1-1) (GCC)
...
However if the CFLAGS environment variable is set this would be omitted.
This is due to the compiler specific auto/cc files not being run when
the CFLAGS environment variable is set, this is so entities can set
their own compiler flags, and thus the NGX_COMPILER variable isn't set.
Nonetheless it is a useful thing to have so re-work the auto scripts to
move the version gathering out of the individual auto/cc/$NGX_CC_NAME
files and merge them into auto/cc/name.

The new directives add_header_inherit and add_trailer_inherit allow
to alter inheritance rules for the values specified in the add_header
and add_trailer directives in a convenient way.
The "merge" parameter enables appending the values from the previous level
to the current level values.
The "off" parameter cancels inheritance of the values from the previous
configuration level, similar to add_header "" (2194e75bb).
The "on" parameter (default) enables the standard inheritance behaviour,
which is to inherit values from the previous level only if there are no
directives on the current level.
The inheritance rules themselves are inherited in a standard way. Thus,
for example, "add_header_inherit merge;" specified at the top level will
be inherited in all nested levels recursively unless redefined below.
Variables contain the IANA name of the signature scheme[1] used to sign
the TLS handshake.
Variables are only meaningful when using OpenSSL 3.5 and above, with older
versions they are empty. Moreover, since this data isn't stored in a
serialized session, variables are only available for new sessions.

After f10bc5a763 the address was set to NULL only when local address was
not specified at all. In case complex value evaluated to an empty or
invalid string, local address remained unchanged. Currenrly this is not
a problem since the value is only set once. This change is a preparation
for being able to change the local address after initial setting.
The change allows modules to use the CONNECT method with HTTP/1.1 requests.
To do so, they need to set the "allow_connect" flag in the core server
configuration.
The $request_port variable contains the port passed by the client in the
request line (for HTTP/1.x) or ":authority" pseudo-header (for HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3). If the request line contains no host, or ":authority" is missing,
then $request_port is taken from the "Host" header, similar to the $host
variable.
The $is_request_port variable contains ":" if $request_port is non-empty,
and is empty otherwise.
BoringSSL/AWS-LC provide two callbacks for each compression algorithm,
which may be used to compress and decompress certificates in runtime.
This change implements compression support with zlib, as enabled with
the ssl_certificate_compression directive. Compressed certificates
are stored in certificate exdata and reused in subsequent connections.
Notably, AWS-LC saves an X509 pointer in SSL connection, which allows
to use it from SSL_get_certificate() for caching purpose. In contrast,
BoringSSL reconstructs X509 on-the-fly, though given that it doesn't
support multiple certificates, always replacing previously configured
certificates, we use the last configured one from ssl->certs, instead.
In rare cases, it was possible to get into this error state on reload
with improperly updated file timestamps for certificate and key pairs.
The fix is to retry on X509_R_KEY_VALUES_MISMATCH, similar to 5d5d9adcc.
Additionally, loading SSL certificate is updated to avoid certificates
discarded on retry to appear in ssl->certs and in extra chain.
