It was broken since their introduction in 2009. The calculated latency
for most connections would be 0 in which case the timeout detection
failed to account for the real latency.
- - Fix a Windows-specific log viewer thread safety issue.
+ - Fix a race condition on Windows that could cause Privoxy to become
+ unresponsive after toggling it on or off through the taskbar icon.
Reported by Tim H. in #3525694.
- Let fatal_error() write to the logfile right away, before showing the
Windows-specific error message which blocks until the user acknowledges
- Reject URLs with invalid port. Previously they were parsed incorrectly and
characters between the port number and the first slash were silently
dropped as shown by curl test 187.
+ - The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
+ valid value.
- General improvements:
- Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
Downgrade the removal message to LOG_LEVEL_HEADER to clarify that it's not
an error in Privoxy and is unlikely to cause any problems in general.
Anonymously reported in #3599335.
- - Accept a default-server-timeout of 0. It's the default after all.
- - Accept a socket-timeout value of 0 seconds. Impatience isn't necessarily a
- syntax problem.
- Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket in
accept_connection(). This should further reduce the chances of the client
getting an incomplete response, even though Privoxy wrote it in its
entirety to the socket.
- - Shorten ssplit()'s prototype by removing the last two arguments. We always
- want to skip empty fields and ignore leading delimiters, so having
- parameters for this only complicates the API.
- - Use an enum for the type of the action value.
- - Rename action_name's member takes_value to value_type as it isn't used as
- boolean.
- - Turn family mismatches in match_sockaddr() into fatal errors
- - Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass a header
- containing either \r or \n.
- - Change the hashes used in load_config() to unsigned int.
- That's what hash_string() actually returns and using a potentiallly larger
- type is at best useless.
- - Use privoxy_tolower() instead of vanilla tolower() with manual casting of
- the argument.
- Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.
It's how we usually do it and is apparently also required when compiling
with gcc 2.95. Initial patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
