This is the long awaited 1.4.0 release of tinyproxy. Most of the
tinyproxy source has been rewritten in one form or another. The old
ADNS code has been removed, and the giant (ugly) state machine has
been banished. These have been replaced by a threaded connection
system. Not only did this make the source code cleaner, but it should
improve performance on SMP machines.
Well so much for the 1.4.0 version being the best tinyproxy---there
were bugs. The most serious was that anonymous filtering was not
actually working. Another bug fix is that on Debian systems (and
maybe others) child threads would not be closed if they had been
created after tinyproxy had been started. Finally, if
MaxClientRequests was set to 0, the status of the thread was not going
back to T_WAITING.
Another change to tinyproxy is the new configuration file. Take a look
at doc/tinyproxy.conf for an example of how to configure tinyproxy. If
you have any experience configuring the Apache web server you will
immediately see similarities between the tinyproxy and Apache
configuration files. In other words, we liberally copied from the
Apache style.
Okay, now on to the new features. There is only one feature which is
the new Connect log level. This is basically "Info" without info's
noise.
The access control list (ACL) feature of tinyproxy has been greatly
expanded. tinyproxy now allows you to selectively allow or deny a much
more specific set of IP addresses or subnets. In the same vein,
tinyproxy can be configured to only bind to one address on a
multi-homed machine.
There are a couple of features which I'm working on for the next
release. There has been requests for logging on tunnelled
connections. Also, some people would like HTTP filtering on tunnelled
connections.
If this version is not the best tinyproxy released, than it's pretty
darn close.
So, the above bugs are fixed, hopefully there are no other ones. The
new features will be worked into the next few releases.
