From 3c341acc9dc8d0faa583d12d97b83f43eb0358c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:02:57 +0000 Subject: yahns 1.12.0 - TLS fixes and more! Most notably, serving static files over HTTPS did not work before this release with the "sendfile" gem installed. The yahns_config(5) manpage is also updated with an example for using OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext objects. Users of Rack::Request#scheme and env['rack.url_scheme'] should see "https" properly set for HTTPS connections. There's also a bunch of internal tweaks like taking advantage of the file-level frozen_string_literal: directive in 2.3 and explicitly clearing short-lived string buffers TLS support is still in its early stages, but I'm experimenting with Let's Encrypt (via getssl[1]) and hosting https://YHBT.net/ on it. For now, I suggest using a separate yahns instance (with a different master process) to avoid any potential data leaks between HTTPS and HTTP instances. In the future, it may be possible to isolate HTTPS from HTTP at the worker process level. Supporting GnuTLS (alongside OpenSSL) may be in our future, too. To paraphrase the warning in http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html (which was written before Heartbleed): WARNING By turning on TLS support in yahns, you not only get the ability to encrypt traffic and to authenticate remote clients. You also turn on thousands and thousands of lines of OpenSSL library code. Assuming that OpenSSL is written as carefully as Eric's own code, every 1000 lines introduce one additional bug into yahns. I'm not nearly as careful with yahns as Wietse is with postfix, either. 20 changes since v1.11.0: README: updates for kqueue add .gitattributes for Ruby method detection nodoc internals enable frozen_string_literal for Ruby 2.3+ copyright updates for 2016 extras/exec_cgi: fix frozen string error on slow responses avoid StringIO#binmode for the next few years use String#clear for short-lived buffers we create gemspec: make rack a development dependency build: install-gem forced to "--local" domain acceptor: all subclasses of TCPServer use TCP_INFO properly emulate sendfile for OpenSSL sockets avoid race conditions in OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#setup set HTTPS and rack.url_scheme in Rack env as appropriate proxy_pass: pass X-Forwarded-Proto through doc: switch to perlpod (from pandoc-flavored Markdown) doc: trim down documentation slightly doc: document ssl_ctx for "listen" directive doc: various doc and linkification improvements http_context: reduce constant lookup + bytecode [1] git clone https://github.com/srvrco/getssl.git --- GIT-VERSION-GEN | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index 8d84137..fb2a8a6 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ CONSTANT = "Yahns::VERSION" RVF = "lib/yahns/version.rb" GVF = "GIT-VERSION-FILE" -DEF_VER = "v1.11.0" +DEF_VER = "v1.12.0" vn = DEF_VER.dup # First see if there is a version file (included in release tarballs), -- cgit v1.2.3-24-ge0c7
