BUG/MEDIUM: lua: possible CLOSE-WAIT state with '\n' headers
The Lua parser doesn't takes in account end-of-headers containing
only '\n'. It expects always '\r\n'. If a '\n' is processes the Lua
parser considers it miss 1 byte, and wait indefinitely for new data.
When the client reaches their timeout, it closes the connection.
This close is not detected and the connection keep in CLOSE-WAIT
state.
I guess that this patch fix only a visible part of the problem.
If the Lua HTTP parser wait for data, the timeout server or the
connectio closed by the client may stop the applet.
How reproduce the problem:
HAProxy conf:
global
lua-load bug38.lua
frontend frt
timeout client 2s
timeout server 2s
mode http
bind *:8080
http-request use-service lua.donothing
Lua conf
core.register_service("donothing", "http", function(applet) end)
Client request:
echo -ne 'GET / HTTP/1.1\n\n' | nc 127.0.0.1 8080
Look for CLOSE-WAIT in the connection with "netstat" or "ss". I
use this script:
while sleep 1; do ss | grep CLOSE-WAIT; done
This patch must be backported in 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8
Workaround: enable the "hard-stop-after" directive, and perform
periodic reload.
