[core] shared code for socket backends
common codebase for socket backends, based off mod_fastcgi with
some features added for mod_proxy
(mostly intended to reduce code duplication and enhance code isolation)
mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi can now use fastcgi.balance and scgi.balance
for similar behavior as proxy.balance, but the balancing is per-host
and not per-proc. proxy.balance is also per-host and not per-proc.
mod_proxy and mod_scgi can now use proxy.map-extensions and
scgi.map-extensions, similar to fastcgi.map-extensions.
mod_fastcgi behavior change (affects only mod_status):
- statistics tags have been renamed from "fastcgi.*" to "gw.*"
"fastcgi.backend.*" -> "gw.backend.*"
"fastcgi.active-requests" -> "gw.active-requests"
("fastcgi.requests" remains "fastcgi.requests")
("proxy.requests" is new)
("scgi.requests" is new)
mod_scgi behavior change (likely minor):
- removed scgi_proclist_sort_down() and scgi_proclist_sort_up().
procs now chosen based on load as measured by num socket connnections
Note:
modules using gw_backend.[ch] are currently still independent modules.
If it had been written as a single module with fastcgi, scgi, proxy
implementations, then there would have been a chance of breaking some
existing user configurations where module ordering made a difference
for which module handled a given request, though for most people, this
would have made no difference.
Details about mod_fastcgi code transformations:
unsigned int debug -> int debug
fastcgi_env member removed from plugin_config
renamed "fcgi" and "fastcgi" to "gw", and "FCGI" to "GW"
reorganize routines for high-level and lower-level interfaces
some lower-level internal interfaces changed to use host,proc,debug
args rather than knowing about higher-level (app) hctx and plugin_data
