- Fix a logic bug that could cause Privoxy to reuse a tainted
- server socket.
- It could happen for server sockets that got tainted by a
- server-header-tagger-induced block, in which case Privoxy
- doesn't necessarily read the whole server response.
- If keep-alive was enabled and the request following the
- blocked one was to the same host and using the same
- forwarding settings, Privoxy would send it on the tainted
- server socket.
- While the server would simply treat it as a pipelined request,
- Privoxy would later on fail to properly parse the server's
- response as it would try to parse the unread data from the
- first response as server headers for the second one.
- Regression introduced in 3.0.17.
-
-
-
-
- When implying keep-alive in client_connection(), remember that the client didn't
- Fixes a regression introduced in 3.0.13 that would cause
- Privoxy to wait for additional client requests after
- receiving a HTTP/1.1 request with "Connection: close" set
- and connection sharing enabled.
- With clients like curl which terminates the client connection
- after detecting that the whole body has been received it doesn't
- really matter, but with clients like FreeBSD's fetch the client
- connection would be kept open until it timed out.
-
-
-
-
- Fix a subtle race condition between prepare_csp_for_next_request() and sweep()
- A thread preparing itself for the next client request
- could briefly appear to be inactive.
- If all other threads were already using more recent files,
- the thread could get its files swept away under its feet.
- I've only seen it while stress testing in valgrind while
- touching action files in a loop. It's unlikely to have
- caused any actual problems in the real world.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- General improvements:
-
-
-
- Privoxy can (re)compress buffered content before delivering
- it to the client. Disabled by default as most users wouldn't
- benefit from it.
-
-
-
-
- The +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action checks URL
- segments separately.
- If there are other parameters behind the redirect URL,
- this makes it unnecessary to cut them of by additionally
- using a +redirect{} pcrs command.
- Initial patch submitted by Jamie Zawinski in #3429848.
-
-
-
-
- Properly deal with FEATURE_TOGGLE being disabled
-
-
-
-
- Adjust url_code_map[] so spaces are replaced with %20 instead of '+'
- While '+' can be used by client's submitting form data, this is not
- actually what Privoxy is using the lookups for. This is more of a
- cosmetic issue and doesn't fix any actual problems I'm aware of.
+ 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.
- When compiled without FEATURE_FAST_REDIRECTS, do not silently
- ignore +fast-redirect{} directives
+ 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.
- Added a workaround for GNU libc's strptime() reporting negative
- year values when the parsed year is only specified with two digits.
- On affected systems cookies with such a date would not be turned
- into session cookies by the +session-cookies-only action.
- Reported by Vaeinoe in #3403560
+ 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.
- When loading action sections, verify that the referenced filters exist
- Currently missing filters only result in an error message,
- but eventually the severity will be upgraded to fatal.
+ The default-server-timeout and socket-timeout directives accept 0 as
+ valid value.
- Allow to bind to multiple separate addresses.
- Patch set submitted by Petr Pisar in #3354485.
+ 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.
- Set socket_error to errno if connecting fails in rfc2553_connect_to()
- Previously rejected direct connections could be incorrectly reported as DNS issues.
+ Fix the compilation on Windows when configured without IPv6 support.
- Fixed bind failures with certain GNU libc versions if no non-loopback
- IP address has been configured on the system. This is mainly an issue
- if the system is using DHCP and Privoxy is started before the network
- is completely configured.
- Reported by Raphael Marichez in #3349356.
- Additional insight from Petr Pisar.
+ Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() in case of
+ socks5 connection failures with "debug 2" enabled.
- Disable filters if SDCH compression is used unless filtering is forced.
- If SDCH was combined with a supported compression algorithm,
- we'd previously try to decompress it, when successful apply
- the enabled filters and ditch the Content-Encoding header
- even though the SDCH compression wasn't removed.
- Reported by zebul666 in #3225863.
+ Fix an assertion that could cause debug builds to abort() if a filter
+ contained nul bytes in the replacement text.
-
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ General improvements:
+
- Privoxy log messages now use the ISO 8601 date format %Y-%m-%d.
- It's only slightly longer than the old format, but contains
- the full date including the year and allows sorting by date
- (when grepping in multiple log files) without hassle.
+ Significantly improved keep-alive support for both client and server
+ connections.
- Make a copy of the --user value and only mess with that when splitting user and group.
- On some operating systems modifying the value directly
- is reflected in the output of ps and friends and can
- be misleading.
- Reported by zepard in #3292710.
+ New debug log level 65536 which logs all actions that were applied to
+ the request.
- If forwarded-connect-retries is set, only retry if the we are actually
- forwarding the request. Previously direct connections would be retried
- as well.
+ New directive client-header-order to forward client headers in a
+ different order than the one in which they arrived.
- Fixed a small memory leak when retrying connection
+ 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.
- Remove an incorrect assertion in compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list()
- It could be triggered by a pcrs job with an invalid pcre
- pattern (for example one that contains a lone quantifier).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Action file improvements:
-
-
-
- Moved the site-specific block pattern section below the one for the
- generic patterns so for requests that are matched in both, the block
- reason for the domain is shown which is usually more useful than showing
- the one for the generic pattern.
+ 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.
- Add a (disabled) section to block various Facebook tracking URLs
- Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3421764.
+ New limit-cookie-lifetime{} action to let cookies expire before the end
+ of the session. Suggested by Rick Sykes in #1049575.
- Add a (disabled) section to rewrite and redirect click-tracking URLs used on news.google.com
- Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3421755.
+ 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.
- Unblock linuxcounter.net/
- Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3422612.
+ 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.
- Block 'www91.intel.com/' which is used by Omniture.
- Reported by Adam Piggott in #3167370.
+ 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.
- Disable the handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok option and mark it as deprecated.
- Reminded by tceverling in #2790091.
+ 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.
- Add ".ivwbox.de/" to the "Cross-site user tracking" section.
- Reported by Nettozahler in #3172525.
+ 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.
- Unblock and fast-redirect ".awin1.com/.*=http://"
- Reported by Adam Piggott in #3170921.
+ 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.
- Block "b.collective-media.net/".
+ 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.
- Widen the Debian popcon exception to "qa.debian.org/popcon".
- Seen in Debian's 05_default_action.dpatch by Roland Rosenfeld.
+ Set the socket option SO_LINGER for the client socket.
- Block ".gemius.pl/" which only seems to be used for user tracking.
- Reported by johnd16 in #3002731. Additional input from Lee and movax.
+ 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.
- Disable banners-by-size filters for '.thinkgeek.com/'
- The filter only seems to catch pictures of the inventory.
+ 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).
- Block requests for 'go.idmnet.bbelements.com/please/showit/'
- Reported by kacperdominik in #3372959.
+ 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.
- Unblock adainitiative.org/
+ 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.
- Add a fast-redirects exception for '.googleusercontent.com/.*=cache'
+ Allow closing curly braces as part of action values as long as they are
+ escaped.
- Add a fast-redirects exception for webcache.googleusercontent.com/
+ On Windows, the logfile is now written before showing the GUI error
+ message which blocks until the user acknowledges it.

- It's no longer used anywhere by default and isn't
- known to break stuff anyway.

- Miscellaneous Privoxy improvements:
+ Documentation improvements:
- In get_last_url(), do not bother trying to decode URLs that do
- not contain at least one '%' sign. It reduces the log noise and
- a number of unnecessary memory allocations.
+ Revised all OS X sections due to new packaging module (OSXPackageBuilder).
- If the --user argument user[.group] contains a dot,
- always bail out if no group has been specified.
- Previously the intended, but undocumented (and apparently
- untested), behaviour was to try interpreting the whole
- argument as user name, but the detection was flawed and
- checked for '0' isntead of '\0', thus merely preventing
- group names beginning with a zero.
+ Update the list of supported operating systems to clarify that all Windows

- Simplify the signal setup in main()
+ Update 'Signals' section, the only explicitly handled signals are SIGINT,
+ SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
- Streamline socks5_connect() slightly
+ Add Haiku to the list of operating systems on which Privoxy is known to
+ run.
- In case of SOCKS5 failures, dump the socks response
+ Add DragonFly to the list of BSDs on which Privoxy is known to run.
- In socks5_connect(), require a complete socks response from the server
- Previously we didn't care how much data the server response
- contained as long as the first two bytes contained the expected
- values.
- While at it, shrink the buffer size so we can't read more
- than a whole socks response. This is required to support
- Tor's optimistic data extension.
+ Removed references to redhat-specific documentation set since it no longer

- In chat(), do not bother to generate a client request in case of direct CONNECT requests
+ Removed references to building PDFs since we no longer do so.
- Reduce server_last_modified()'s stack size
+ Multiple listen-address directives are supported since 3.0.18, correct the

- Shorten get_http_time() by using strftime()

- Change url_code_map[] from an array of pointers to an array of arrays
- It removes an unnecessary layer of indirection and on
- 64bit system reduces the size of the binary a bit.
+ When stopping to watch a client socket due to pipelining, additionally log
+ the socket number.
- Fix various typos.
- Fixes taken from Debian's 29_typos.dpatch by Roland Rosenfeld.
+ Log the client socket and its condition before closing it. This makes it
+ more obvious that the socket actually gets closed and should help when
+ diagnosing problems like #3464439.
- Add a dok-tidy GNUMakefile target to clean up the messy HTML
- generated by the other dok targets.
+ In case of SOCKS5 failures, do not explicitly log the server's response.
+ It hasn't helped so far and the response can already be logged by enabling
+ "debug 32768" anyway. This reverts v1.81 and the follow-up bug fix v1.84.
- GNUisms in the GNUMakefile have been removed.
+ Relocate the connection-accepted message from listen_loop() to serve().
+ This way it's printed by the thread that is actually serving the

- 2011-11-11/386c7218162c145f5f9e1ff7f558a3fbb66c37c5.
+ Remove the ijb_isupper() and ijb_tolower() macros from parsers.c since
+ they aren't used in this file.
- Add a dedicated function to parse the values of toggles
- Reduces duplicated code in load_config() and provides
- better error handling. Invalid or missing toggle values
- are now a fatal error instead of being silently ignored.
+ Removed the 'Functions declared include:' comment sections since they tend
+ to be incomplete, incorrect and out of date and the benefit seems
+ questionable.
- Terminate HTML lines in static error messages with \n instead of \r\n.
+ Various comment grammar and comprehensibility improvements.
- Simplify cgi_error_unknown() a bit.
+ Remove a pointless fflush() call in chat(). Flushing all streams pretty
+ much all the time for no obvious reason is ridiculous.
- In LogPutString(), don't bother looking at pszText when not actually logging anything

+ Add strdup_or_die() which will allow to simplify code paths where strdup()
+ failures don't need to be handled gracefully.
- In cgi_die(), mark the client connection for closing.
- If the client will fetch the style sheet through another connection
- it gets the main thread out of the accept() state and should thus
- trigger the actual shutdown.
+ Replace strdup() calls with strdup_or_die() calls where it's safe and

- In block_url(), consistently use the block reason "Request blocked by Privoxy"
- In two places the reason was "Request for blocked URL" which
- hides the fact that the request got blocked by Privoxy and
- isn't necessarly correct as the block may be due to tags.
+ Change visibility of several code segments when compiling without
+ FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE enabled for clarity.
- In get_actions(), fix the "temporary" backwards compatibility hack
- to accept block actions without reason.
- It also covered other actions that should be rejected as invalid.
- Reported by Billy Crook.
+ In pcrs_get_delimiter(), do not use delimiters outside the ASCII range.

- a new connection instead of before.
- Previously the first connection that arrived after a configuration
- change would still be handled with the old configuration.
+ Fix an error message in get_last_url() nobody is supposed to see.
+ Reported by Matthew Fischer in #3507301.
- In chat()'s receive-data loop, skip a client socket check if
- the socket will be written to right away anyway. This can
- increase the transfer speed for unfiltered content on fast
- network connections.
+ Fix a typo in the no-zlib-support complaint. Patch submitted by Matthew
+ Fischer in #3507304.
- The socket timeout is used for SOCKS negotiation as well.
+ 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.
- Don't keep the client connection alive if any configuration file
- changed since the time the connection came in.
- This is closer to Privoxy's behaviour before keep-alive support
- for client connection has been added and also less confusing in
- general.
+ Use an enum for the type of the action value.
- Treat all Content-Type header values containing the pattern
- 'script' as a sign of text. Reported by pribog in #3134970.

+ Let enlist_unique_header() verify that the caller didn't pass a header
+ containing either \r or \n.
- Remove a useless test for setpgrp(2). Privoxy doesn't
- need it and it can cause problems when cross-compiling

- prevent-compression per default, you might want to add
