op_rewrite checked what it built with targetunsafe(), which describes a
path on this machine: on Windows it must name a drive or a share, so a
rewritten request path was refused and every rewrite rule failed there.
A rewrite produces a request path and is checked as one.
The header loop stopped at HTTPSRV_MAXHDR and answered anyway, leaving
the rest of the request in the stream for the next one to be read out
of. It refuses the request instead. A header longer than the buffer
arrives as several lines, so the count bounds what is read rather than
what a client may send in one header.
The test for the buffer growth after a PCRE rewrite sent its request
through to an httpsrv origin, which stops reading at that same cap; it
uses an origin which reads whatever it is sent, since what is under test
is the proxy in the middle.
A rewrite only reached the copy of the request kept for logging. On a
direct connection the server is sent the request line held in the header
buffer, which was parsed and reduced to its path before the filters ran, so
the rewrite showed up in the log and nowhere else. Through an HTTP parent
the rewritten copy is what goes out, which is why it appeared to work
there.
Splice the new path back into that buffer. The destination was chosen, and
the access rules applied to it, before the rewrite happened, so a rewrite
that changes the method or the authority is left alone: acting on it would
send the request somewhere the rules never saw. Say so in the manual.
The copy needed to notice a rewrite is only taken when a request filter
exists, so a proxy without one does no extra work.
The filter walked its list of access rules but tested the first entry each
time round, so anything pcre_extend appended was never consulted and the
command did nothing at all. Test the entry the loop is on.
pcre_extend takes an ACE and no FILTER_ACTION - the rule keeps the action it
was given - so correct the manual, which documented an argument the command
does not read.
The tests cover matching and denial, rule order, client headers, matching
options, the access rule a pcre rule carries, pcre_extend, and rewriting a
reply header and reply data. Request rewriting is covered through an HTTP
parent, which is the path where it reaches the wire.
