Provides some more guidelines to operators on how to avoid running Caddy as root.
Introduces an user www-data, which really is a placeholder. Such an user with the same UID/GID combination is created on the most popular Linux distribution. I trust any operator can spot the difference to his/her distro and adjust the unit file.
User nobody is not used here to avoid two easy pitfalls: Such an user should not be able to access private keys (for TLS), and should not write private keys (we would do that with Letsencrypt).
The exemplary unit file for systemd is intentionally redundant at times, for
example dropping privileges which an unprivileged user "www-data" did not have
in the first place: To aid as fallback in case the file gets copied and an
operator setting UID to 0 (which reportedly happened in the past).
* Overwrite proxy headers based on directive
Headers of the request sent by the proxy upstream can now be modified in
the following way:
Prefix header with `+`: Header will be added if it doesn't exist
otherwise, the values will be merge
Prefix header with `-': Header will be removed
No prefix: Header will be replaced with given value
* Add missing formating directive reported by go vet
* Overwrite up/down stream proxy headers
Add Up/DownStreamHeaders to UpstreamHost
Split `proxy_header` option in `proxy` directive into `header_upstream`
and `header_downstream`. By splitting into two, it makes it clear in
what direction the given headers must be applied.
`proxy_header` can still be used (to maintain backward compatability)
but its assumed to be `header_upstream`
Response headers received by the reverse proxy from the upstream host
are updated according the `header_downstream` rules.
The update occurs through a func given to the reverse proxy, which is
applied once a response is received.
Headers (for upstream and downstream) can now be modified in
the following way:
Prefix header with `+`: Header will be added if it doesn't exist
otherwise, the values will be merge
Prefix header with `-': Header will be removed
No prefix: Header will be replaced with given value
Updated branch with changes from master
* minor refactor to make intent clearer
* Make Up/Down stream headers naming consistent
* Fix error descriptions to be more clear
* Fix lint issue
* Move handling of headers around to prevent memory use spikes
While debugging #782, I noticed that using http2 and max_fails=0,
X-Forwarded-For grew infinitely when an upstream request failed after
refreshing the test page. This change ensures that headers are only
set once per request rather than appending in a time-terminated loop.
* Refactor some code into its own function
