Originally with "option accept-invalid-http-request", we couldn't really edit the request on the fly to remove offending headers. But since we have HTX and the headers are indexed one at a time, it has become trivial. A non-negligible number of violations are conditioned by the now renamed "option accept-unsafe-violations-in-http-request", and a controversial one could definitely be reporting and passing invalid header names containing control chars or spaces. The option was placed so as not to block requests/responses containing them, but there's no point in passing them to the other side. Most of the time it will be totally harmless since the other side will reject them. But in case haproxy is placed in front of a non-compliant server, it would fail to protect it. This patch implements a name check for all headers when a parsing error was detected. It's cheap enough (especially since only done after an error), and will skip the header if its name is invalid. This may also remove some possibilities of confusion in logs, or when encoding headers names for example. This should be backported at least till the last LTS. |

HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:
- INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
- BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
- LICENSE for the project's license
- CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
- doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
