- Bug fixes:
+ General improvements:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
- Client sockets are now properly shutdown and drained before being
- closed. This fixes page truncation issues with clients that aggressively
- pipeline data on platforms that otherwise discard already written data.
- The issue mainly affected Opera users and was initially reported
- by Kevin in #3464439, szotsaki provided additional information to track
- down the cause.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Fix latency calculation for shared connections (disabled by default).
- 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.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
- valid value.
+ Allow to edit the add-header action through the CGI editor by
+ generalizing the code that got added with the suppress-tag action.
+ Closes SF patch request #146. Patch by Maxim Antonov.
</para>

<listitem>
<para>
- 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.
+ Add a CGI handler for /wpad.dat that returns a
+ Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file.
+ Among other things, it can be used to instruct clients
+ through DHCP to use Privoxy as proxy.
+ For example with the dnsmasq option:
+ dhcp-option=252,http://config.privoxy.org/wpad.dat
+ Initial patch by Richard Schneidt.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6 support.
+ Don't log the applied actions in process_encrypted_request()
+ Log them in continue_https_chat() instead to mirror chat().
+ Prevents the applied actions from getting logged twice
+ for the first request on an https-inspected connection.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in case of
- socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.
+ OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use config.privoxy.org as Common Name
+ Org and Org Unit if the real host name is too long to get accepted by OpenSSL.
+ Clients should only care about the Subject Alternative Name
+ anyway and we can continue to use the real host name for it.
+ Reported by Miles Wen on privoxy-users@.

- <listitem>
- <para>
- Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
- connections.
+ Establish the TLS connection with the client earlier and decide
+ how to route the request afterwards. This allows to change the
+ forwarding settings based on information from the https-inspected
+ request, for example the path.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were applied to
- the request.
+ listen_loop(): When shutting down gracefully, close listening ports
+ before waiting for the threads to exit. Allows to start a second
+ Privoxy with the same config file while the first Privoxy is still
+ running.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in a
- different order than the one in which they arrived.
+ serve(): Close the client socket as well if the server socket
+ for an inspected connection has been closed. Privoxy currently
+ can't establish a new server connection when the client socket
+ is reused and would drop the connection in continue_https_chat()
+ anyway.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New directive tolerate-pipelining to allow client-side pipelining.
- If enabled (3.0.20 beta enables it by default), Privoxy will keep
- pipelined client requests around to deal with them once the current
- request has been served.
+ Don't disable redirect checkers in redirect_url().
+ Disable them in handle_established_connection() instead.
+ Doing it in redirect_url() prevented the +redirect{} and
+ +fast-redirects{} actions from being logged with LOG_LEVEL_ACTIONS.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New --config-test option to let Privoxy exit after checking whether or not
- the configuration seems valid. The limitations noted in TODO #22 and #23
- still apply. Based on a patch by Ramkumar Chinchani.
+ handle_established_connection(): Slightly improve a comment.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
- of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
+ handle_established_connection(): Fix a comment.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Increase the hard-coded maximum number of actions and filter files from
- 10 to 30 (each). It doesn't significantly affect Privoxy's memory usage
- and recompiling wasn't an option for all Privoxy users that reached the
- limit.
+ socks5_connect(): Fix indentation.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for chunk-encoded client request bodies. Previously
- chunk-encoded request bodies weren't guaranteed to be forwarded correctly,
- so this can also be considered a bug fix although chunk-encoded request
- bodies aren't commonly used in the real world.
+ handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Add support for Tor's optimistic-data SOCKS extension, which can reduce the
- latency for requests on newly created connections. Currently only the
- headers are sent optimistically and only if the client request has already
- been read completely which rules out requests with large bodies.
+ create_pattern_spec(): Fix ifdef indentation.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- After preventing the client from pipelining, don't signal keep-alive
- intentions. When looking at the response headers alone, it previously
- wasn't obvious from the client's perspective that no additional responses
- should be expected.
+ Fix comment typos.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Stop considering client sockets tainted after receiving a request with body.
- It hasn't been necessary for a while now and unnecessarily causes test
- failures when using curl's test suite.
+ process_encrypted_request(): Improve a log message.
+ The function only processes request headers and there
+ may still be unread request body data left to process.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Allow HTTP/1.0 clients to signal interest in keep-alive through the
- Proxy-Connection header. While such client are rare in the real world, it
- doesn't hurt and couple of curl tests rely on it.
+ chat(): Log the applied actions before deciding how to forward the request.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Only remove duplicated Content-Type headers when filters are enabled.
- If they are not it doesn't cause ill effects and the user might not want it.
- 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.
+ parse_time_header(): Silence a coverity complaint when building without assertions.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.
+ receive_encrypted_request_headers(): Improve a log message.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Move several variable declarations to the beginning of their code block.
- It's required when compiling with gcc 2.95 which is still used on some
- platforms. Initial patch submitted by Simon South in #3564815.
+ mbedTLS get_ciphersuites_from_string(): Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy().
+ Previously the terminating NUL wasn't copied which resulted
+ in a compiler warning. This didn't cause actual problems as
+ the target buffer was initialized by zalloc_or_die() so the
+ last byte of the target buffer was NUL already.
+ Actually copying the terminating NUL seems clearer, though.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Optionally try to sanity-check strptime() results before trusting them.
- Broken strptime() implementations have caused problems in the past and
- the most recent offender seems to be FreeBSD's libc (standards/173421).
+ Remove compiler warnings. "log_error(LOG_LEVEL_FATAL, ..."
+ doesn't return but apparently the compiler doesn't know that.
+ Get rid of several "this statement may fall through
+ [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]" warnings.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- When filtering is enabled, let Range headers pass if the range starts at
- the beginning. This should work around (or at least reduce) the video
- playback issues with various Apple clients as reported by Duc in #3426305.
+ Store the PEM certificate in a dynamically allocated buffer
+ when https-inspecting. Should prevent errors like:
+ 2021-03-16 22:36:19.148 7f47bbfff700 Error: X509 PEM cert len 16694 is larger than buffer len 16383
+ As a bonus it should slightly reduce the memory usage as most
+ certificates are smaller than the previously used fixed buffer.
+ Reported by: Wen Yue
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Do not confuse a client hanging up with a connection time out. If a client
- closes its side of the connection without sending a request line, do not
- send the CLIENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_RESPONSE, but report the condition
- properly.
+ OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Fix two error messsages.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as they are
- escaped.
+ Improve description of handle_established_connection()
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- On Windows, the logfile is now written before showing the GUI error
- message which blocks until the user acknowledges it.
- Reported by Adriaan in #3593603.
+ OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Translate EVP_PKEY_EC to a string.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Remove an unreasonable parameter limit in the CGI interface. The new
- parameter limit depends on the memory available and is currently unlikely
- to be reachable, due to other limits in both Privoxy and common clients.
- Reported by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
+ OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove pointless variable initialization.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
- Decrease the chances of parse failures after requests with unsupported
- methods were sent to the CGI interface.
