BUG/MEDIUM: acl: correctly compute the output type when a converter is used
Sample expressions involving converters in expression simply do not work
if the converter changes the sample type from the original keyword. Either
the keyword is a sample fetch keyword and its own type is used, or it's an
ACL keyword, and the keyword's parse/index/match functions are used despite
the converters. Thus it causes such a stupid error :
redirect location / if { date,ltime(%a) -i Fri }
[ALERT] 240/171746 (29127) : parsing [bug-conv.cfg:35] : error detected in proxy 'svc' while parsing redirect rule : error in condition: 'Fri' is not a number.
In fact now in ACLs, the case where the ACL keyword is alone is an exception
(eventhough the most common one). It's an exception to the sample expression
parsing rules since ACLs allow to redefine alternate parsing functions.
This fix does two things :
- it voids any references to the ACL keyword when a converter is involved
since we certainly not want to enforce a parser for a wrong data type ;
- it ensures that for all other cases (sample expressions), the type of
the expression is used instead of the type of the fetch keyword.
A significant cleanup of the code should be done, but this patch only aims
fixing the bug.
The fix should be backported into 1.5 since this appeared along the redesign
of the acl/pattern processing.
