- Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests.
- Previously Privoxy would only check the path which resulted in
- rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs.
- Reported by withoutname in #1736.
+ Improve the handling of chunk-encoded responses by buffering the data
+ even if filters are disabled and properly keeping track of where the
+ various chunks are supposed to start and end. Previously Privoxy would
+ merely check the last bytes received to see if they looked like the
+ last-chunk. This failed to work if the last-chunk wasn't received in one
+ read and could also result in actual data being misdetected
+ as last-chunk.
+ Should fix: SF support request #1739.
+ Reported by: withoutname.
+
+
+
+
+ remove_chunked_transfer_coding(): Refuse to de-chunk invalid data
+ Previously the data could get corrupted even further.
+ Now we simply pass the unmodified data to the client.
- Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs.
- Previously they would always be treated like a changed host.
+ gif_deanimate(): Tolerate multiple image extensions in a row.
+ This allows to deanimate all the gifs on:
+ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_smilies
+ Fixes SF bug #795 reported by Celejar.
- Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through
- https://. Previously Privoxy would use the http headers which
- may be empty on a reused connection.
+ OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use X509_get_subject_name()
+ instead of X509_get_issuer_name() to get the issuer for generated
+ website certificates so there are no warnings in the browser when using
+ an intermediate CA certificate instead of a self-signed root certificate.
+ Problem reported and patch submitted by Chakib Benziane.
- Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
- This unbreaks (at least) https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose
- buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in browser warnings.
+ can_filter_request_body(): Fix a log message that contained a spurious u.
- Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time.
- Previously Privoxy would crash.
- Reported by: Kai Raven
+ handle_established_connection(): Check for pending TLS data from the client
+ before checking if data is available on the connection.
+ The TLS library may have already consumed all the data from the client
+ response in which case poll() and select() will not detect that data is
+ available to be read.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
- Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently
- aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would wait for the client
- to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.
+ ssl_send_certificate_error(): Don't crash if there's no certificate
+ information available. This is only relevant when Privoxy is built with
+ wolfSSL 5.0.0 or later (code not yet published). Earlier wolfSSL versions
+ or the other TLS backends don't seem to trigger the crash.
- When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with
- FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not recommended for production builds),
- the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
- connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the
- wrong time.
+ socks5_connect(): Add support for target hosts specified as IPv4 address
+ Previously the IP address was sent as domain.

- Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected
- requests behind the client's back. The documentation already sort
- of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that
- it didn't work for https-inspected requests.
- Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.
-
-
-
-
- Add support for filtering client request bodies by using
- CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled with the
- client-body-filter action.
- Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
-
-
-
-
- Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent
- a tagger from adding a tag. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov.
- Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
-
-
-
-
- Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates.
- This can happen if Privoxy was previously running with an invalid
- TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.
-
-
-
-
- Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.
-
-
-
-
- Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page
- is requested with no tags configured.
-
-
-
-
- Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates
- using redirects. Currently the redirects lead to the FAQ entries
- but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using
- redirects makes this more convenient.
-
-
-
-
- Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with
- FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this a
- fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and
- without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.
-
-
-
-
- The code compiles with older C compilers again.
-
-
-
-
- The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.
-
-
-
-
- The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball.
- It's usually out of date when the source tarball is generated
- for the release.
-
-
-
-
- Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
-
-
-
-
- windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.
+ Add a client-body-tagger action which creates tags based on
+ the content of the request body.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
- windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.
+ When client-body filters are enabled, buffer the whole request
+ before opening a connection to the server.
+ Makes it less likely that the server connection times out
+ and we don't open a connection if the buffering fails anyway.
+ Sponsored by: Robert Klemme.
- Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.
+ Add periods to a couple of log messages.
- When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images'
- directory which is no longer used. The images were relocated to
- the user-manual directory years ago.
+ accept_connection(): Add missing space to a log message.
- Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.
+ Initialize ca-related defaults with strdup_or_die() so errors
+ aren't silently ignored.
- Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.
+ make_path: Use malloc_or_die() in cases where allocation errors
+ were already fatal anyway.
- Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().
+ handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message slightly.
- Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.
+ receive_client_request(): Reject https URLs without CONNECT request.
- Improved a couple of error messages.
+ Include all requests in the statistics if mutexes are available.
+ Previously in case of reused connections only the last request got
+ counted. The statistics still aren't perfect but it's an improvement.
- Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a
- key already exists.
+ Add read_socks_reply() and start using it in socks5_connect()
+ to apply the socket timeout more consistently.
- The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are
- enabled at the same time.
+ socks5_connect(): Deal with domain names in the socks reply
- Log a message right before exiting gracefully.
-
-
-
-
- A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly
- less memory.
-
-
-
-
- When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid
- the error message is now sent with status code 403 instead of 200.
-
-
-
-
- The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to
- slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when building
- Debian packages.
-
-
-
-
- When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used
- instead of mbedtls_md5() which is deprecated and causes a warning
- on Debian GNU/Linux.
+ Add a filter for bundeswehr.de that hides the cookie and
+ privacy info banner.

- to use when building URLs that are supposed to reach Privoxy's
- CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is
- supposed to work with the default Privoxy configuration.
- If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled,
