BUG/MEDIUM: stream: properly set the required HTTP analysers on use-service
Commit 4850e51 ("BUG/MAJOR: lua: Do not force the HTTP analysers in
use-services") fixed a bug in how services are used in Lua, but this
fix broke the ability for Lua services to support keep-alive.
The cause is that we branch to a service while we have not yet set the
body analysers on the request nor the response, and when we start to
deal with the response we don't have any request analyser anymore. This
leads the response forward engine to detect an error and abort. It's
very likely that this also causes some random truncation of responses
though this has not been observed during the tests.
The root cause is not the Lua part in fact, the commit above was correct,
the problem is the implementation of the "use-service" action. When done
in an HTTP request, it bypasses the load balancing decisions and the
connect() phase. These ones are normally the ones preparing the request
analysers to parse the body when keep-alive is set. This should be dealt
with in the main process_use_service() function in fact.
That's what this patch does. If process_use_service() is called from the
http-request rule set, it enables the XFER_BODY analyser on the request
(since the same is always set on the response). Note that it's exactly
what is being done on the stats page which properly supports keep-alive
and compression.
This fix must be backported to 1.7 and 1.6 as the breakage appeared in 1.6.3.
