It was set by default on the caddy-internal config object, and even
checked for conflicts, but it was never actually reflected on the
tls.Config.
This will have user-visible changes: a client that prefers, say, AES-CBC
but also supports AES-GCM would have used AES-CBC befor this, and will
use AES-GCM after.
This is desirable and important behavior, because if for example the
server wanted to support 3DES, but *only if it was strictly necessary*,
it would have had no way of doing so with PreferServerCipherSuites
false, as the client preference would have won.
If another ACME client is trying to solve a challenge for a name not
being served by Caddy on the same machine where Caddy is running, the
HTTP challenge will be consumed by Caddy rather than allowing the owner
to use the Caddyfile to proxy the challenge.
With this change, we only consume requests for HTTP challenges for
hostnames that we recognize. Before doing the challenge, we add the
name to a set, and when seeing if we should proxy the challenge, we
first check the path of course to see if it is an HTTP challenge;
if it is, we then check that set to see if the hostname is in the
set. Only if it is, do we consume it.
Otherwise, the request is treated like any other, allowing the owner
to configure a proxy for such requests to another ACME client.
* Initial concept for pluggable storage (sans tests and docs)
* Add TLS storage docs, test harness, and minor clean up from code review
* Fix issue with caddymain's temporary moveStorage
* Formatting improvement on struct array literal by removing struct name
* Pluggable storage changes:
* Change storage interface to persist all site or user data in one call
* Add lock/unlock calls for renewal and cert obtaining
* Key fields on composite literals
- Server types no longer need to store their own contexts; they are
stored on the caddy.Instance, which means each context will be
properly GC'ed when the instance is stopped. Server types should use
type assertions to convert from caddy.Context to their concrete
context type when they need to use it.
- Pass the entire context into httpserver.GetConfig instead of only the
Key field.
- caddy.NewTestController now requires a server type string so it can
create a controller with the proper concrete context associated with
that server type.
Tests still need more attention so that we can test the proper creation
of startup functions, etc.
Also we change the scheme of the site's address if TLS is enabled and
no other scheme is explicitly set; this makes it appear as "https" when
we print it; otherwise it would show "http" when TLS is turned on
implicitly, and that is confusing/incorrect.
These changes span work from the last ~4 months in an effort to make
Caddy more extensible, reduce the coupling between its components, and
lay a more robust foundation of code going forward into 1.0. A bunch of
new features have been added, too, with even higher future potential.
The most significant design change is an overall inversion of
dependencies. Instead of the caddy package knowing about the server
and the notion of middleware and config, the caddy package exposes an
interface that other components plug into. This does introduce more
indirection when reading the code, but every piece is very modular and
pluggable. Even the HTTP server is pluggable.
The caddy package has been moved to the top level, and main has been
pushed into a subfolder called caddy. The actual logic of the main
file has been pushed even further into caddy/caddymain/run.go so that
custom builds of Caddy can be 'go get'able.
The HTTPS logic was surgically separated into two parts to divide the
TLS-specific code and the HTTPS-specific code. The caddytls package can
now be used by any type of server that needs TLS, not just HTTP. I also
added the ability to customize nearly every aspect of TLS at the site
level rather than all sites sharing the same TLS configuration. Not all
of this flexibility is exposed in the Caddyfile yet, but it may be in
the future. Caddy can also generate self-signed certificates in memory
for the convenience of a developer working on localhost who wants HTTPS.
And Caddy now supports the DNS challenge, assuming at least one DNS
provider is plugged in.
Dozens, if not hundreds, of other minor changes swept through the code
base as I literally started from an empty main function, copying over
functions or files as needed, then adjusting them to fit in the new
design. Most tests have been restored and adapted to the new API,
but more work is needed there.
A lot of what was "impossible" before is now possible, or can be made
possible with minimal disruption of the code. For example, it's fairly
easy to make plugins hook into another part of the code via callbacks.
Plugins can do more than just be directives; we now have plugins that
customize how the Caddyfile is loaded (useful when you need to get your
configuration from a remote store).
Site addresses no longer need be just a host and port. They can have a
path, allowing you to scope a configuration to a specific path. There is
no inheretance, however; each site configuration is distinct.
Thanks to amazing work by Lucas Clemente, this commit adds experimental
QUIC support. Turn it on using the -quic flag; your browser may have
to be configured to enable it.
Almost everything is here, but you will notice that most of the middle-
ware are missing. After those are transferred over, we'll be ready for
beta tests.
I'm very excited to get this out. Thanks for everyone's help and
patience these last few months. I hope you like it!!
