- build with pcre2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 28 20:49:04 UTC 2025 - Carsten Ziepke <kieltux@gmail.com>
- Update to version 4.0.0:
Bug fixes:
* Add missing client-body-tagger data to the action_type_info[]
struct so lookups based on the action index work correctly
again. Prevents assertion failures or segfaults when trying to
edit an action file with the CGI editor.
The type of failure depended on whether or not assertions
were enabled and on whether or not Privoxy had been compiled
with FEATURE_EXTERNAL_FILTERS.
Regression introduced in Privoxy 3.0.34.
Patch submitted by Aaron Li in #940.
* Bump MAX_FILTER_TYPES which should have been done in d128e6aa4
when introducing the client-body-tagger{} action.
Prevents an assertion in cgi_edit_actions_for_url() from
triggering after e32d03e0 when using the CGI editor with
assertions enabled.
* is_untrusted_url(): Search the encrypted headers for the
Referer when the client is using https and https inspection
is enabled. Fixes the trust mechanism for https requests.
Reported by Laurent Caumont in #1767.
* GNUMakefile.in: Let the install target work if no group is
specified.
* GNUMakefile.in: Set GROUP_T when installing configuration
files as root and there is no privoxy user available so the
install target doesn't fail.
Patch by Fabrice Fontaine.
* GNUmakefile.in: Don't exit if configuration files are
installed as root as this can be considered acceptable when
cross-compiling Privoxy inside an autobuilder with only a
root user.
Patch by Fabrice Fontaine.
* configure.in: Fix argument types in gmtime_r() and
localtime_r() probes.
Otherwise these probes always fail with stricter compilers
even if there is C library support for these functions.
Patch submitted by Florian Weimer in SF#149.
* Fix socks4 and socks4a support under glibc's source
fortification. With glibc's source fortification, gcc offers
the compilation warning resulting in a runtime abort() when
using a socks4 or socks4a upstream proxy. Despite the warning,
the strlcpy() call in question is fine: gcc misidentifies the
size of the destination buffer, estimating to hold only a
single char while in fact the buffer stretches beyond the end
of the struct socks_op.
The issue was originally reported in the NixOS issue tracker
at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/265654
prompted by an upgrade of glibc from 2.37-39 to 2.38-0.
Patch submitted by Ingo Blechschmid, joint work with
@esclear and @richi235.
General improvements:
* Allow to use wolfSSL for https inspection.
wolfSSL supports TLS 1.3 and can be significantly faster than
mbedTLS. Mainly tested on ElectroBSD amd64 where it can
compete with OpenSSL and LibreSSL:
https://www.fabiankeil.de/gehacktes/privoxy-tls-benchmarks/
To enable the support, install wolfSSL and run ./configure
with the --with-wolfssl option.
Sponsored by Privoxy project funds collected at SPI.
* Add an test framework that leverages the curl test suite.
Sponsored by Privoxy project funds collected at SPI.
* Add pcre2 support. Closes bug #935.
Initial patch submitted by Gagan Sidhu.
* Use SHA256 as hash algorithm for the certificate and key file
names instead of MD5. The known MD5 vulnerabilities shouldn't
matter for Privoxy's use case but it doesn't hurt to use a
hash algorithm that isn't deprecated.
Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
* Add support for mbedTLS 3.x. This removes a sanity check
(whether issuer key and issuer certificate match) that seems
overly cautious and fails to compile with mbedTLS 3.x as the
struct members are private. We don't have an equivalent check
in the OpenSSL or wolfSSL code either.
* Factor out newer_privoxy_version_required() and improve the
logic Previously 3.0.11 was considered newer than 4.0.0.
* init_error_log(): Include the reason for failures to open the
log file.
* create_client_ssl_connection(): Don't keep the certificate
lock longer than necessary.
* Add periods to a bunch of log messages.
* normalize_lws(): Only log the 'Reducing whitespace ...'
message once per header
* log_error() Win32: Only call LogShowActivity() for debug level
LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST. As of b94bbe62a950, which was part of
Privoxy 3.0.29,
LOG_LEVEL_REQUEST is used for all requests including crunched
ones.
Previously LogShowActivity() was called twice for crunched
requests, (presumably) resulting in an aborted animation.
* Remove ./ prefix from tarball-dist files.
* create_client_ssl_connection(): Make it more obvious from an
error message that a function failed.
* Use stringify() instead of section_target() and remove
section_target(). Like the XXX comment suggested this could be
done my moving the hash into the templates which seems
preferable anyway.
* Prevent some compiler warnings.
* parse_numeric_value(): Expect a base-ten number.
* windows/MYconfigure: Have gcc diagnostics in color.
Action file improvements:

to build the docs. If you're not building the docbook stuff
you don't need tidy.
* trust: Use the words 'allowlists' and 'blocklists'
instead of "whitelists" and "blacklists" which some
people consider to be less inclusive.

Sun Feb 12 10:55:54 UTC 2023 - Carsten Ziepke <kieltux@gmail.com>
- Update to version 3.0.34:
Bug fixes:
* Improve the handling of chunk-encoded responses by buffering
the data even if filters are disabled and properly keeping track
of where the various chunks are supposed to start and end.
Previously Privoxy would merely check the last bytes received
to see if they looked like the last-chunk. This failed to work
if the last-chunk wasn't received in one read and could also
result in actual data being misdetected as last-chunk.
Should fix: SF support request #1739.
* remove_chunked_transfer_coding(): Refuse to de-chunk invalid
data. Previously the data could get corrupted even further.
Now we simply pass the unmodified data to the client.
* gif_deanimate(): Tolerate multiple image extensions in a row.
This allows to deanimate all the gifs on:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_smilies
Fixes SF bug #795 reported by Celejar.
* OpenSSL generate_host_certificate(): Use X509_get_subject_name()
instead of X509_get_issuer_name() to get the issuer for
generated website certificates so there are no warnings in the
browser when using an intermediate CA certificate instead of a
self-signed root certificate.
* can_filter_request_body(): Fix a log message that contained a
spurious u.
* handle_established_connection(): Check for pending TLS data
from the client before checking if data is available on the
connection. The TLS library may have already consumed all the
data from the client response in which case poll() and select()
will not detect that data is available to be read.
* ssl_send_certificate_error(): Don't crash if there's no
certificate information available. This is only relevant when
Privoxy is built with wolfSSL 5.0.0 or later (code not yet
published). Earlier wolfSSL versions or the other TLS backends
don't seem to trigger the crash.
* socks5_connect(): Add support for target hosts specified as
IPv4 address. Previously the IP address was sent as domain.
General improvements:
* Add a client-body-tagger action which creates tags based on
the content of the request body.
* When client-body filters are enabled, buffer the whole request
before opening a connection to the server.
Makes it less likely that the server connection times out
and we don't open a connection if the buffering fails anyway.
* Add periods to a couple of log messages.
* accept_connection(): Add missing space to a log message.
* Initialize ca-related defaults with strdup_or_die() so errors
aren't silently ignored.
* make_path: Use malloc_or_die() in cases where allocation errors
were already fatal anyway.
* handle_established_connection(): Improve an error message slightly.
* receive_client_request(): Reject https URLs without CONNECT request.
* Include all requests in the statistics if mutexes are available.
Previously in case of reused connections only the last request got
counted. The statistics still aren't perfect but it's an improvement.
* Add read_socks_reply() and start using it in socks5_connect()
to apply the socket timeout more consistently.
* socks5_connect(): Deal with domain names in the socks reply
* Add a filter for bundeswehr.de that hides the cookie and
privacy info banner.
Action file improvements:
* Disable filter{banners-by-size} for .freiheitsfoo.de/.
* Disable filter{banners-by-size} for freebsdfoundation.org/.
* Disable fast-redirects for consent.youtube.com/.
* Block requests to ups.xplosion.de/.
* Block requests for elsa.memoinsights.com/t.
* Fix a typo in a test.
* Disable fast-redirects for launchpad.net/.
* Unblock .eff.org/.
* Stop unblocking .org/.*(image|banner) which appears to be too generous
* Unblock adfd.org/.
* Disable filter{banners-by-link} for .eff.org/.
* Block requests to odb.outbrain.com/.
* Disable fast-redirects for .gandi.net/.
* Disable fast-redirects{} for .onion/.*/status/.
* Disable fast-redirects{} for twitter.com/.*/status/.
* Unblock pinkstinks.de/.
* Disable fast-redirects for .hagalil.com/.
Privoxy-Log-Parser:
* Bump version to 0.9.5.
* Highlight more log messages.
* Highlight the Crunch reason only once. Previously the "crunch reason"
could also be highlighted when the URL contained a matching string.
The real crunch reason only occurs once per line, so there's no need
to continue looking for it after it has been found once.
While at it, add a comment with an example log line.
uagen:
* Bump version to 1.2.4.
* Update BROWSER_VERSION and BROWSER_REVISION to 102.0
to match the User-Agent of the current Firefox ESR.
* Explicitly document that changing the 'Gecko token' is suspicious.
* Consistently use a lower-case 'c' as copyright symbol.
* Bump copyright.
* Add 'aarch64' as Linux architecture.
Build system:
* Makefile: Add a 'dok' target that depends on the 'error' target
to show the "You are not using GNU make or did nor run configure"
message.
* configure: Fix --with-msan option.
Documentation:
* Add OpenSSL to the list of libraries that may be licensed under the
Apache 2.0 license in which case the linked Privoxy binary has to be
distributed under the GPLv3 or later.
* config: Fix the documented ca-directory default value.
* Update developer manual with new macOS packaging instructions.

Sat Mar 6 18:33:24 UTC 2021 - Carsten Ziepke <kieltux@gmail.com>
- Update to version 3.0.32:
- Security/Reliability (boo#1183129)
- ssplit(): Remove an assertion that could be triggered with a
crafted CGI request.
Commit 2256d7b4d67. OVE-20210203-0001. CVE-2021-20272
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- cgi_send_banner(): Overrule invalid image types. Prevents a
crash with a crafted CGI request if Privoxy is toggled off.
Commit e711c505c48. OVE-20210206-0001. CVE-2021-20273
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- socks5_connect(): Don't try to send credentials when none are
configured. Fixes a crash due to a NULL-pointer dereference
when the socks server misbehaves.

Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- chunked_body_is_complete(): Prevent an invalid read of size
two.
Commit a912ba7bc9c. OVE-20210205-0001. CVE-2021-20275
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- Obsolete pcre: Prevent invalid memory accesses with an invalid
pattern passed to pcre_compile(). Note that the obsolete pcre
code is scheduled to be removed before the 3.0.33 release.
There has been a warning since 2008 already.
Commit 28512e5b624. OVE-20210222-0001. CVE-2021-20276
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- Bug fixes:
- Properly parse the client-tag-lifetime directive. Previously it was
not accepted as an obsolete hash value was being used.
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- decompress_iob(): Prevent reading of uninitialized data.
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera).
- decompress_iob(): Don't advance cur past eod when looking
for the end of the file name and comment.
- decompress_iob(): Cast value to unsigned char before shifting.
Prevents a left-shift of a negative value which is undefined behaviour.
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- gif_deanimate(): Confirm that that we have enough data before doing
any work. Fixes a crash when fuzzing with an empty document.
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera).
- buf_copy(): Fail if there's no data to write or nothing to do.
Prevents undefined behaviour "applying zero offset to null pointer".
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- log_error(): Treat LOG_LEVEL_FATAL as fatal even when --stfu is
being used while fuzzing.
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera).
- Respect DESTDIR when considering whether or not to install
config files with ".new" extension.
- OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Fix two error messages.
- Fix a couple of format specifiers.
- Silence compiler warnings when compiling with NDEBUG.
- fuzz_server_header(): Fix compiler warning.
- fuzz_client_header(): Fix compiler warning.
- cgi_send_user_manual(): Also reject requests if the user-manual
directive specifies a https:// URL. Previously Privoxy would try and
fail to open a local file.
- General improvements:
- Log the TLS version and the the cipher when debug 2 is enabled.
- ssl_send_certificate_error(): Respect HEAD requests by not sending a body.
- ssl_send_certificate_error(): End the body with a single new line.
- serve(): Increase the chances that the host is logged when closing
a server socket.
- handle_established_connection(): Add parentheses to clarify an expression
Suggested by: David Binderman
- continue_https_chat(): Explicitly unset CSP_FLAG_CLIENT_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE
if process_encrypted_request() fails. This makes it more obvious that the
connection will not be reused. Previously serve() relied on
CSP_FLAG_SERVER_CONTENT_LENGTH_SET and CSP_FLAG_CHUNKED being unset.
Inspired by a patch from Joshua Rogers (Opera).
- decompress_iob(): Add periods to a couple of log messages
- Terminate the body of the HTTP snipplets with a single new line
instead of "\r\n".
- configure: Add --with-assertions option and only enable assertions
when it is used
- windows build: Use --with-brotli and --with-mbedtls by default and
enable dynamic error checking.
- gif_deanimate(): Confirm we've got an image before trying to write it
Saves a pointless buf_copy() call.
- OpenSSL ssl_store_cert(): Remove a superfluous space before the serial number.
- Action file improvements:
- Disable fast-redirects for .golem.de/
- Unblock requests to adri*.
- Block requests for trc*.taboola.com/
- Disable fast-redirects for .linkedin.com/
- Filter file improvements:
- Make the second pcrs job of the img-reorder filter greedy again.
The ungreedy version broke the img tags on:
https://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
- Highlight a few more messages.
- Clarify the --statistics output. The shown "Reused connections"
are server connections so name them appropriately.
- Bump version to 0.9.3.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- Add the --check-bad-ssl option to the --help output.
- Bump version to 0.7.3.
- Documentation:
- Add pushing the created tag to the release steps in the developer manual.
- Clarify that 'debug 32768' should be used in addition to the other debug
directives when reporting problems.
- Add a 'Third-party licenses and copyrights' section to the user manual.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 1 19:51:51 UTC 2021 - Carsten Ziepke <kieltux@gmail.com>
- Update to version 3.0.31:
- Security/Reliability (boo#1181650)
- Prevent an assertion from getting triggered by a crafted
CGI request.
Commit 5bba5b89193fa. OVE-20210130-0001. CVE-2021-20217
Reported by: Joshua Rogers (Opera)
- Fixed a memory leak when decompression fails "unexpectedly".
Commit f431d61740cc0. OVE-20210128-0001. CVE-2021-20216
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed detection of insufficient data for decompression.
Previously Privoxy could try to decompress a partly
uninitialized buffer.
- Update to version 3.0.30:
- Bug fixes:
- Check the actual URL for redirects when https inspecting requests.
Previously Privoxy would only check the path which resulted in
rewrite results being rejected as invalid URLs.
Reported by withoutname in #1736.
- Let the hide-referrer code tolerate Referer headers with https:// URLs.
Previously they would always be treated like a changed host.
- Use the https headers if the show-request handler is reached through
https://. Previously Privoxy would use the http headers which
may be empty on a reused connection.
- Make CGI_PREFIX protocol-relative when building with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
This unbreaks (at least) https://config.privoxy.org/client-tags whose
buttons would previously use a http:// URL resulting in browser warnings.
- Support using https-inspection and client-header-order at the same time.
Previously Privoxy would crash.
Reported by: Kai Raven
- Properly reject rewrites from http to https as they currently
aren't supported. Previously Privoxy would wait for the client
to establish an encrypted connection which obviously would not happen.
- When https inspection is enabled and Privoxy has been compiled with
FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION (not recommended for production builds),
the TLS backend resources are free'd later on and only if no active
connections are left. Prevents crashes when exiting "gracefully" at the
wrong time.
- Let the uninstall target remove the config file even if DESTDIR
is set and properly announce the deletion of the configuration files.
- General improvements:
- Allow to rewrite the request destination for https-inspected
requests behind the client's back. The documentation already sort
of claimed that it was supported by not especially mentioning that
it didn't work for https-inspected requests.
Fixes SF bug #923 reported by withoutname.
- Add support for filtering client request bodies by using
CLIENT-BODY-FILTER filters which can be enabled with the
client-body-filter action.
Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov.
Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
- Add the new action suppress-tag{} which can be used to prevent
a tagger from adding a tag. Patch submitted by Maxim Antonov.
Sponsored by: Robert Klemme
- Gracefully handle existing website keys without matching certificates.
This can happen if Privoxy was previously running with an invalid
TLS configuration that didn't allow it to create a certificate.
- Recycle debug bit 4 for Tagging-related messages.
- Improve the message shown when the client-tags CGI page
is requested with no tags configured.
- Shorten the 'donate' and 'participate' links used by templates
using redirects. Currently the redirects lead to the FAQ entries
but in the future we may want to relocate the content and using
redirects makes this more convenient.
- Log an error when a PCRE-HOST-PATTERN is used with
FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS disabled. Don't treat this a
fatal error so the regression tests can be used with and
without FEATURE_PCRE_HOST_PATTERNS.
- The code compiles with older C compilers again.
- The chdir() return code is checked to fix a compiler warning.
- The packages feed has been removed from the source tarball.
It's usually out of date when the source tarball is generated
for the release.
- Fixed harmless compiler warnings from GCC9 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
- windows: Remove obsolete '$(DEST)/doc/images' target.
- windows: Install the images referenced in the user manual.
- Remove obsolete 'gnu_regex.@OBJEXT@' target.
- When installing from the GNUMAkefile, don't create an 'images'
directory which is no longer used. The images were relocated to
the user-manual directory years ago.
- Add new FEATURES to the show-status page and resort list.
- Remove unused variable in the OpenSSL-specific code.
- Update bug tracker URL in cgi_error_unknown().
- Saved a couple of memory allocations when sorting client headers.
- Improved a couple of error messages.
- Saved memory allocations when using OpenSSL and checking if a
key already exists.
- The configure script will bail out if OpenSSL and mbedTLS are
enabled at the same time.
- Log a message right before exiting gracefully.
- A couple of structures have been rearranged to require slightly
less memory.
- When https inspection is enabled and the certificate is invalid
the error message is now sent with status code 403 instead of 200.
- The Slackware rc script template has been renamed to
slackware/rc.privoxy.in to silence complaints when building
Debian packages.
- When building with MbedTLS support, mbedtls_md5_ret() is used
instead of mbedtls_md5() which is deprecated and causes a warning
on Debian GNU/Linux.
- Action file improvements:
- Block requests to eu-tlp03.kameleoon.com/.
- Unblock metrics.sr.ht/.
- Disable fast-redirects for .fsf.org/.
- Disable fast-redirects for .gravater.com/.
- Disable fast-redirects for .ksta.de/.
- Block requests to tag.crsspxl.com/.
- Block requests to analytics.slashdotmedia.com/.
- Block requests to ml314.com/.
- Block requests to .adroll.com/.
- Block requests to fastlane.rubiconproject.com/.

- Block requests to ih.adscale.de/.
- Block requests to .s400.meetrics.net/.
- Block requests for pp.lp4.io/.
- Block requests for trc-events.taboola.com/.
- Filter file improvements:
- A allow-autocompletion filter has been added which changes
autocomplete="off" to "on" on input fields to allow autocompletion.
Requested by Jamie Zawinski in #370.
Filter based on a submission by Aaron Linville.
- Added an imdb filter.
- Added a sourceforge filter that reduces the amount of ads
for proprietary software.
- Added a github filter that removes the annoying "Sign-Up"
banner and the Cookie disclaimer.
- Removed a duplicated pcrs command from the js-annoyances filter.
- The crude-parental filter now provides a short reason when blocking,
inserts a link to Privoxy's webinterface and adds a new line at
the end of the generated page.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
- Highlight a few more messages.
- Add a handler for tagging messages.
- Properly deal with 'Certificate error' crunches
Previously the error description was highlighted as 'host'.
- Log truncated LOG_LEVEL_CLF messages more gracefully
and note that the statistics will be imprecise.
- Fixed perldoc typo.
- Bump version to 0.9.2.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- Use http://127.0.0.1:8118/ as default Privoxy address
unless http_proxy is set through the environment.
- Add a --privoxy-cgi-prefix option that specifies the prefix
to use when building URLs that are supposed to reach Privoxy's
CGI interface. If it's not set, http://p.p/ is used, which is
supposed to work with the default Privoxy configuration.
If Privoxy has been built with FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION enabled,
and if https inspection is activated with the +https-inspection
action, this option can be used with "https://p.p/" provided the
system running Privoxy-Regression-Test has been configured to
trust the certificate used by Privoxy.
Note that there are currently two tests in the official
regression-tests.action file that are expected to fail
when using "https://p.p/" as privoxy-cgi-prefix.
- Skip the connection-established response in get_status_code()
when looking for the status code with a CGI prefix
that starts with https://. We care about the status code
sent by the impersonated web server.
- Use --proxy-header when using a CGI prefix with https://
and a "Host:" header.
- Allow '|' in tokens and values to allow tag patterns like
"TAG:^(application|text)/(x-)?javascript$".
- When get_cgi_page_or_else() fails, include the URL of the
requested page in the log message.
- Added a --check-bad-ssl option that can be used to verify that
Privoxy detects certificate problems when accessing the test
sites from badssl.com.

- uagen:
- Update example output.
- Recommend the use of the https-inspection action in the documentation.
- Upgrade a couple of URLs to https://.
- Add ElectroBSD to the list of operating systems.
- Bumped generated Firefox version to 78 (ESR).
- Bumped version to 1.2.2.
- User documentation:
- Remove reference to 'How to Report Bugs Effectively'.
It was only rendered as text without URL in the README anyway
and there's no indication that users read it ...
- Let the dok-readme target fix the location embedded into the
README file. This used to be done by CVS but since the git migration
it has to be done through other means.
- Remove 'experimental' warning for client-specific-tag-related directives.
They seem to work reliably and there is no obvious reason
why we would change the syntax in the near future.
- Describe how to check if Privoxy has been built with
FEATURE_HTTPS_INSPECTION.
- Add a link to the trusted-cas-file documentation
that explains how the user can create the file herself.
- Don't explicitly mention the license for the code coming from
'Anonymous Coders' and Junkbusters. It's obviously licensed under
the GNU GPL like the rest of Privoxy or we wouldn't be allowed to
distribute it.
- Update the +hide-user-agent example with uagen output.
- Slightly improve the wording of the ca-key-file documentation.
- Explicitly mention Windows 10 as supported so search engines and
users looking for it can find it.
- Import a bunch of contributors from the ChangeLog.
- Remove obsolete doc/gpl.html.
- Upgrade a couple of links to https://.
- Don't prefer the SourceForge patch tracker over the
privoxy-devel mailing list. While at it, link to the
SourceForge patch tracker.
- Mention http-inspection in the 'my browser warns me about
unauthenticated content' FAQ entry.
- Simplify the 'Is there is a license or fee?' FAQ entry.
- Add another +redirect{} example.
- Explicitly mention that interested sponsors should include
the link target in their first mail.
- Clarify that only Privoxy team members can object to new sponsors
and link to the list of current team members.
- Note that sponsor URLs may not contain keyword spam.
- Garbage collect doc/webserver/images which isn't referenced anymore.
- Update the method to reach the proxy settings in Firefox.
- Update proxy_setup.jpg description to refer to Firefox.
- Regenerate proxy_setup.jpg with a more recent Firefox (78.0).
- Regenerate files-in-use.jpg without obsolete standard.action
with modern colors and a slightly better quality.
- Update URL to the actionsfile tracker.
- Update a support request URL.
- Rephrase the 'Can Privoxy run as service' FAQ entry and
remove an obsolete paragraph.
- Let the 'Where can I get updated Actions Files?' entry link to
the gitweb version of default.action.master.
- Update a link to the default.action file.
- Update URLs for trackers and mailing lists.
- Replace CVS reference with git.
- Mention regression-tests.action in the config file.
- Explicitly mention in the config file that access to the
CA key should be limited to Privoxy.
- List more client-specific-tag examples for inspiration.
- Add additional headers to the client-header-order example.
- Note that actions aren't updated after rewrites.
- Explicitly mention that upgrading from http to https with
a client-header filter is not supported
- Note that protocol and host have to be added when rewriting
the destination host for https-inspected requests.
- Explicitly mention that the CA key is used to sign certificates.
- Put openssl command in 'command' tags.
- The man page has been moved from section 1 to man section 8.
- Developer manual:
- Flesh out the build instructions for Debian.
- Remove the packaging instructions for RPM-based systems.
They don't work and we don't release RPM packages anymore anyway.
- Remove the packaging instructions for Solaris.
They don't work and we don't release Solaris packages anymore anyway.
- Update the suggested subject for the announce mails.
- Update upload instructions.
ftp://upload.sourceforge.net is no longer functional.
- Remove a couple of package-dependent upload instructions
that don't actually work.
- Remove 'cd current' that no longer works.
- Add regression-tests.action to the list of files that should be installed.
- Stop claiming that there are text versions of the manuals.
We stopped building them in 2008 (9ed36a3c5e6f12).
- Note that the 'webserver' target creates the link needed for the user-manual.
- Suggest to use the master branch as reference when creating
the ChangeLog so the steps work when the current branch differs
from master which is likely as the developer manual
suggests to use a local branch for development.
- Add the -s flag to the suggested 'git tag' command. We prefer signed tags.
- Mention that merges into 'master' should be avoided.

- Update the list of programs required for the release process.
- Update description of the webserver target which uses ssh, not scp.
- Remove obsolete reference to config.new.

- Add another hide-referrer{conditional-block} test.
- Add another hide-referrer{conditional-forge} test.
- Fix a hide-referrer{conditional-forge} test
that expected an acceptable header to be forged.
- Fix a hide-referrer{conditional-block} test
that expected an acceptable Referer to be removed.
- Explain why the "Set Header = Host: whatever.example.org" test is
expected to fail when using a CGI prefix that starts with "https://".
- Explain why a connection-sharing test is known to fail
when using "https://p.p/" as CGI prefix.
- Add a link to Privoxy-Regression-Test to regression-tests.action
in case it isn't packaged.
- Add regression tests for pcre host patterns.
- Fixed a regression test that is executed when
FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION is enabled.
- Privoxy infrastructure:
- Import a Privoxy logo for the website.

- Highlight the "Info: Now toggled " on/off log message
in the Windows log viewer.
- Highlight the loading actions/filter file log message
in the Windows log viewer.
- Mention client-specific tags on the toggle page as a
potentionally more appropriate alternative.

Sat Jan 23 19:46:10 UTC 2016 - astieger@suse.com
- Privoxy 3.0.24
Includes fixes for two security issues that may be used to
remotely trigger crashes on platforms that carefully check memory
accesses.
* Security fixes (denial of service):
+ Prevent invalid reads in case of corrupt chunk-encoded
content. CVE-2016-1982 [boo#963151]
+ Remove empty Host headers in client requests. Previously
they would result in invalid reads. CVE-2016-1983 [boo#963152]
* General bug fixes and improvements
* White and blacklist updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 28 20:45:52 UTC 2015 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- add CVE IDs for [boo#914934]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 27 14:16:49 UTC 2015 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- add CVE and bug IDs to last two changelog entries
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 26 10:32:37 UTC 2015 - joerg.lorenzen@ki.tng.de
- update to version 3.0.23 [boo#914934]
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect
chunk-encoded body. When compiled with assertions enabled
(the default) they could previously cause Privoxy to abort().
[CVE-2015-1380]
- Fixed multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the
pcrs code. This fix also increases the chances that an invalid
pcrs command is rejected as such. Previously some invalid commands
would be loaded without error. Note that Privoxy's pcrs sources
(action and filter files) are considered trustworthy input and
should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.
[CVE-2015-1381]
- Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically
cause Privoxy to crash. So far, no crashes have been observed.
- Compiles with --disable-force again. Reported by Kay Raven.
- Client requests with body that can't be delivered no longer
cause pipelined requests behind them to be rejected as invalid.
[CVE-2015-1382]
- General improvements:
- If a pcrs command is rejected as invalid, Privoxy now logs
the cause of the problem as text. Previously the pcrs error
code was logged.
- The tests are less likely to cause false positives.
- Action file improvements:
- '.sify.com/' is no longer blocked. Apparently it is not actually
a pure tracking site (anymore?). Reported by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
- Unblock banners on .amnesty.de/ which aren't ads.
- Documentation improvements:
- The 'Would you like to donate?' section now also contains
a "Paypal" address.
- The list of supported operating systems has been updated.
- The existence of the SF support and feature trackers has been
deemphasized because they have been broken for months.
Most of the time the mailing lists still work.
- The claim that default.action updates are sometimes released
on their own has been removed. It hasn't happened in years.
- Explicitly mention that Tor's port may deviate from the default
when using a bundle. Requested by Andrew on ijbswa-users@.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 28 23:16:40 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- Privoxy 3.0.22 [boo#907675]

[CVE-2015-1030 [CVE-2015-1031] [boo#913094]
- Fixed an immediate-use-after-free bug and two additional
unconfirmed use-after-free complaints
[CVE-2015-1201] [boo#914450]
- Actually show the FORCE_PREFIX value on the show-status page.
- Properly deal with Keep-Alive headers with timeout= parameters
- Not using any filter files no longer results in warning messages
unless an action file is referencing header taggers or filters.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Privoxy from reusing some reusable
connections.
- General improvements:
- Introduced NO-REQUEST-TAG and NO-RESPONSE-TAG.
- Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789.
- Reject requests with unsupported Expect header values.
- Normalize the HTTP-version in forwarded requests and responses.
- Server 'Keep-Alive' headers are no longer forwarded.

- Prevent img-reorder from messing up img tags with empty src
attributes.
- add source URL
- fix self-obsoletion

Mon Jul 7 12:53:54 UTC 2014 - wagner-thomas@gmx.at
- update logrotate config file after switch to systemd (bnc#878788)
- added "reload" capability which was lost during switch from
sysvinit to systemd

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Dec 15 18:57:00 UTC 2013 - joerg.lorenzen@ki.tng.de
- Fixed unsuccessful start of privoxy with systemd:
- Privoxy isn't chrooted properly, added option --chroot
to privoxy.service (see bnc#849923)
- After fixing bnc#849923 there is no DNS resolution due to
missing population of chroot env, added ExecStartPre commands
to privoxy.service (see bnc#852941)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jun 22 11:55:46 UTC 2013 - p.drouand@gmail.com
- update to version 3.0.21
- Bug fixes:
- On POSIX-like platforms, network sockets with file descriptor
values above FD_SETSIZE are properly rejected. Previously they
could cause memory corruption in configurations that allowed
the limit to be reached.
- Proxy authentication headers are removed unless the new directive
enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding is used. Forwarding the
headers potentionally allows malicious sites to trick the user
into providing them with login information.
Reported by Chris John Riley.
- Compiles on OS/2 again now that unistd.h is only included
on platforms that have it.
- General improvements:
- The show-status page shows the FEATURE_STRPTIME_SANITY_CHECKS status.
- A couple of assert()s that could theoretically dereference
NULL pointers in debug builds have been relocated.
- Added an LSB info block to the generic start script.
Based on a patch from Natxo Asenjo.
- The max-client-connections default has been changed to 128
which should be more than enough for most setups.
- Action file improvements:
- Block rover.ebay./ar.*\&adtype= instead of "/.*\&adtype=" which
caused too man false positives.
Reported by u302320 in #360284, additional feedback from Adam Piggott.
- Unblock '.advrider.com/' and '/.*ADVrider'.
Anonymously reported in #3603636.
- Stop blocking '/js/slider\.js'.
Reported by Adam Piggott in #3606635 and _lvm in #2791160.
- Filter file improvements:
- Added an iframes filter.
- Documentation improvements:
- The whole GPLv2 text is included in the user manual now,
so Privoxy can serve it itself and the user can read it
without having to wade through GPLv3 ads first.
- Properly numbered and underlined a couple of section titles
in the config that where previously overlooked due to a flaw
in the conversion script. Reported by Ralf Jungblut.
- Improved the support instruction to hopefully make it harder to
unintentionally provide insufficient information when requesting
support. Previously it wasn't obvious that the information we need
in bug reports is usually also required in support requests.
- Removed documentation about packages that haven't been provided
in years.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- Only log the test number when not running in verbose mode
The position of the test is rarely relevant and it previously
wasn't exactly obvious which one of the numbers was useful to
repeat the test with --test-number.
- GNUmakefile improvements:
- Factor generate-config-file out of config-file to make testing
more convenient.
- The clean target now also takes care of patch leftovers.
- Use original source tarball; can't use sourceurl due to OpenSuse < 12.1
support
- Update patch to upstream changes
privoxy-3.0.17-config.patch > privoxy-3.0.21-config.patch
- Use systemd instead of sysvinit for OpenSuse > 12.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 3 20:52:00 UTC 2012 - schwab@linux-m68k.org
- update to version 3.0.19
- Bug fixes:
- Prevent a segmentation fault when de-chunking buffered content.
It could be triggered by malicious web servers if Privoxy was
configured to filter the content and running on a platform
where SIZE_T_MAX isn't larger than UINT_MAX, which probably
includes most 32-bit systems. On those platforms, all Privoxy
versions before 3.0.19 appear to be affected.
To be on the safe side, this bug should be presumed to allow
code execution as proving that it doesn't seems unrealistic.
- Do not expect a response from the SOCKS4/4A server until it
got something to respond to. This regression was introduced
in 3.0.18 and prevented the SOCKS4/4A negotiation from working.
Reported by qqqqqw in #3459781.
- General improvements:
- Fix an off-by-one in an error message about connect failures.
- Use a GNUMakefile variable for the webserver root directory and
update the path. Sourceforge changed it which broke various
web-related targets.
- Update the CODE_STATUS description.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 5 21:05:44 UTC 2012 - schwab@linux-m68k.org
- Use privoxy:privoxy for rotating the logfile
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 26 08:16:16 UTC 2011 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- add rpm group to privoxy-doc package, fixing all builds
- remove name and version macros from patch references
- update to upstream 3.0.18:
- Bug fixes:
- If a generated redirect URL contains characters RFC 3986 doesn't
permit, they are (re)encoded. Not doing this makes Privoxy versions
from 3.0.5 to 3.0.17 susceptible to HTTP response splitting (CWE-113)
attacks if the +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action is used.
- Fix a logic bug that could cause Privoxy to reuse a server
socket after it got tainted by a server-header-tagger-induced
block that was triggered before the whole server response had
been read. If keep-alive was enabled and the request following
the blocked one was to the same host and using the same forwarding
settings, Privoxy would send it on the tainted server socket.
While the server would simply treat it as a pipelined request,
Privoxy would later on fail to properly parse the server's
response as it would try to parse the unread data from the
first response as server headers for the second one.
Regression introduced in 3.0.17.
- When implying keep-alive in client_connection(), remember that
the client didn't. Fixes a regression introduced in 3.0.13 that
would cause Privoxy to wait for additional client requests after
receiving a HTTP/1.1 request with "Connection: close" set
and connection sharing enabled.
With clients which terminates the client connection after detecting
that the whole body has been received it doesn't really matter,
but with clients that don't the connection would be kept open until
it timed out.
- Fix a subtle race condition between prepare_csp_for_next_request()
and sweep(). A thread preparing itself for the next client request
could briefly appear to be inactive.
If all other threads were already using more recent files,
the thread could get its files swept away under its feet.
So far this has only been reproduced while stress testing in
valgrind while touching action files in a loop. It's unlikely
to have caused any actual problems in the real world.
- Disable filters if SDCH compression is used unless filtering is forced.
If SDCH was combined with a supported compression algorithm, Privoxy
previously could try to decompress it and ditch the Content-Encoding
header even though the SDCH compression wasn't dealt with.
Reported by zebul666 in #3225863.
- Make a copy of the --user value and only mess with that when splitting
user and group. On some operating systems modifying the value directly
is reflected in the output of ps and friends and can be misleading.
Reported by zepard in #3292710.
- If forwarded-connect-retries is set, only retry if Privoxy is actually
forwarding the request. Previously direct connections would be retried
as well.
- Fixed a small memory leak when retrying connections with IPv6
support enabled.
- Remove an incorrect assertion in compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list()
It could be triggered by a pcrs job with an invalid pcre
pattern (for example one that contains a lone quantifier).
- If the --user argument user[.group] contains a dot, always bail out
if no group has been specified. Previously the intended, but undocumented
(and apparently untested), behaviour was to try interpreting the whole
argument as user name, but the detection was flawed and checked for '0'
instead of '\0', thus merely preventing group names beginning with a zero.
- In html_code_map[], use a numeric character reference instead of &apos;
which wasn't standardized before XHTML 1.0.
- Fix an invalid free when compiled with FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION
and shut down through http://config.privoxy.org/die
- In get_actions(), fix the "temporary" backwards compatibility hack
to accept block actions without reason.
It also covered other actions that should be rejected as invalid.
Reported by Billy Crook.
- General improvements:
- Privoxy can (re)compress buffered content before delivering
it to the client. Disabled by default as most users wouldn't
benefit from it.
- The +fast-redirects{check-decoded-url} action checks URL
segments separately. If there are other parameters behind
the redirect URL, this makes it unnecessary to cut them off
by additionally using a +redirect{} pcrs command.
Initial patch submitted by Jamie Zawinski in #3429848.
- When loading action sections, verify that the referenced filters
exist. Currently missing filters only result in an error message,
but eventually the severity will be upgraded to fatal.
- Allow to bind to multiple separate addresses.
Patch set submitted by Petr Pisar in #3354485.
- Set socket_error to errno if connecting fails in rfc2553_connect_to().
Previously rejected direct connections could be incorrectly reported
as DNS issues if Privoxy was compiled with IPv6 support.
- Adjust url_code_map[] so spaces are replaced with %20 instead of '+'
While '+' can be used by client's submitting form data, this is not
actually what Privoxy is using the lookups for. This is more of a
cosmetic issue and doesn't fix any known problems.
- When compiled without FEATURE_FAST_REDIRECTS, do not silently
ignore +fast-redirect{} directives
- Added a workaround for GNU libc's strptime() reporting negative
year values when the parsed year is only specified with two digits.
On affected systems cookies with such a date would not be turned
into session cookies by the +session-cookies-only action.
Reported by Vaeinoe in #3403560
- Fixed bind failures with certain GNU libc versions if no non-loopback
IP address has been configured on the system. This is mainly an issue
if the system is using DHCP and Privoxy is started before the network
is completely configured.
Reported by Raphael Marichez in #3349356.
Additional insight from Petr Pisar.
- Privoxy log messages now use the ISO 8601 date format %Y-%m-%d.
It's only slightly longer than the old format, but contains
the full date including the year and allows sorting by date
(when grepping in multiple log files) without hassle.
- In get_last_url(), do not bother trying to decode URLs that do
not contain at least one '%' sign. It reduces the log noise and
a number of unnecessary memory allocations.
- In case of SOCKS5 failures, dump the socks response in the log message.
- Simplify the signal setup in main().
- Streamline socks5_connect() slightly.
- In socks5_connect(), require a complete socks response from the server.
Previously Privoxy didn't care how much data the server response
contained as long as the first two bytes contained the expected
values. While at it, shrink the buffer size so Privoxy can't read
more than a whole socks response.
- In chat(), do not bother to generate a client request in case of
direct CONNECT requests. It will not be used anyway.
- Reduce server_last_modified()'s stack size.
- Shorten get_http_time() by using strftime().
- Constify the known_http_methods pointers in unknown_method().
- Constify the time_formats pointers in parse_header_time().
- Constify the formerly_valid_actions pointers in action_used_to_be_valid().
- Introduce a GNUMakefile MAN_PAGE variable that defaults to privoxy.1.
The Debian package uses section 8 for the man page and this
should simplify the patch.
- Deduplicate the INADDR_NONE definition for Solaris by moving it to jbsockets.h
- In block_url(), ditch the obsolete workaround for ancient Netscape versions
that supposedly couldn't properly deal with status code 403.
- Remove a useless NULL pointer check in load_trustfile().
- Remove two useless NULL pointer checks in load_one_re_filterfile().
- Change url_code_map[] from an array of pointers to an array of arrays
It removes an unnecessary layer of indirection and on 64bit system reduces
the size of the binary a bit.
- Fix various typos. Fixes taken from Debian's 29_typos.dpatch by Roland Rosenfeld.
- Add a dok-tidy GNUMakefile target to clean up the messy HTML
generated by the other dok targets.
- GNUisms in the GNUMakefile have been removed.
- Change the HTTP version in static responses to 1.1
- Synced config.sub and config.guess with upstream
2011-11-11/386c7218162c145f5f9e1ff7f558a3fbb66c37c5.
- Add a dedicated function to parse the values of toggles. Reduces duplicated
code in load_config() and provides better error handling. Invalid or missing
toggle values are now a fatal error instead of being silently ignored.
- Terminate HTML lines in static error messages with \n instead of \r\n.
- Simplify cgi_error_unknown() a bit.
- In LogPutString(), don't bother looking at pszText when not
actually logging anything.
- Change ssplit()'s fourth parameter from int to size_t.
Fixes a clang complaint.
- Add a warning that the statistics currently can't be trusted.
Mention Privoxy-Log-Parser's --statistics option as
an alternative for the time being.
- In rfc2553_connect_to(), start setting cgi->error_message on error.
- Change the expected status code returned for http://p.p/die depending
on whether or not FEATURE_GRACEFUL_TERMINATION is available.
- In cgi_die(), mark the client connection for closing.
If the client will fetch the style sheet through another connection
it gets the main thread out of the accept() state and should thus
trigger the actual shutdown.
- Add a proper CGI message for cgi_die().
- Don't enforce a logical line length limit in read_config_line().
- Slightly refactor server_last_modified() to remove useless gmtime*() calls.
- In get_content_type(), also recognize '.jpeg' as JPEG extension.
- Add '.png' to the list of recognized file extensions in get_content_type().
- In block_url(), consistently use the block reason "Request blocked by Privoxy"
In two places the reason was "Request for blocked URL" which hides the
fact that the request got blocked by Privoxy and isn't necessarily
correct as the block may be due to tags.
- In listen_loop(), reload the configuration files after accepting
a new connection instead of before.
Previously the first connection that arrived after a configuration
change would still be handled with the old configuration.
- In chat()'s receive-data loop, skip a client socket check if
the socket will be written to right away anyway. This can
increase the transfer speed for unfiltered content on fast
network connections.
- The socket timeout is used for SOCKS negotiations as well which
previously couldn't timeout.
- Don't keep the client connection alive if any configuration file
changed since the time the connection came in. This is closer to
Privoxy's behaviour before keep-alive support for client connection
has been added and also less confusing in general.
- Treat all Content-Type header values containing the pattern
'script' as a sign of text. Reported by pribog in #3134970.
- Action file improvements:
- Moved the site-specific block pattern section below the one for the
generic patterns so for requests that are matched in both, the block
reason for the domain is shown which is usually more useful than showing
the one for the generic pattern.
- Remove -prevent-compression from the fragile alias. It's no longer
used anywhere by default and isn't known to break stuff anyway.
- Add a (disabled) section to block various Facebook tracking URLs.
Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3421764.
- Add a (disabled) section to rewrite and redirect click-tracking
URLs used on news.google.com.
Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3421755.
- Unblock linuxcounter.net/.
Reported by Dan Stahlke in #3422612.
- Block 'www91.intel.com/' which is used by Omniture.
Reported by Adam Piggott in #3167370.
- Disable the handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok option and mark it as deprecated.
Reminded by tceverling in #2790091.
- Add ".ivwbox.de/" to the "Cross-site user tracking" section.
Reported by Nettozahler in #3172525.
- Unblock and fast-redirect ".awin1.com/.*=http://".
Reported by Adam Piggott in #3170921.
- Block "b.collective-media.net/".
- Widen the Debian popcon exception to "qa.debian.org/popcon".
Seen in Debian's 05_default_action.dpatch by Roland Rosenfeld.
- Block ".gemius.pl/" which only seems to be used for user tracking.
Reported by johnd16 in #3002731. Additional input from Lee and movax.
- Disable banners-by-size filters for '.thinkgeek.com/'.
The filter only seems to catch pictures of the inventory.
- Block requests for 'go.idmnet.bbelements.com/please/showit/'.
Reported by kacperdominik in #3372959.
- Unblock adainitiative.org/.
- Add a fast-redirects exception for '.googleusercontent.com/.*=cache'.
- Add a fast-redirects exception for webcache.googleusercontent.com/.
- Unblock http://adassier.wordpress.com/ and http://adassier.files.wordpress.com/.
- Filter file improvements:
- Let the yahoo filter hide '.ads'.
- Let the msn filter hide overlay ads for Facebook 'likes' in search
results and elements with the id 's_notf_div'. They only seem to be
used to advertise site 'enhancements'.
- Let the js-events filter additionally disarm setInterval().
Suggested by dg1727 in #3423775.
- Documentation improvements:
- Clarify the effect of compiling Privoxy with zlib support.
Suggested by dg1727 in #3423782.
- Point out that the SourceForge messaging system works like a black
hole and should thus not be used to contact individual developers.
- Mention some of the problems one can experience when not explicitly
configuring an IP addresses as listen address.
- Explicitly mention that hostnames can be used instead of IP addresses
for the listen-address, that only the first address returned will be
used and what happens if the address is invalid.
Requested by Calestyo in #3302213.
- Log message improvements:
- If only the server connection is kept alive, do not pretend to
wait for a new client request.
- Remove a superfluous log message in forget_connection().
- In chat(), properly report missing server responses as such
instead of calling them empty.
- In forwarded_connect(), fix a log message nobody should ever see.
- Fix a log message in socks5_connect(), a failed write operation
was logged as failed read operation.
- Let load_one_actions_file() properly complain about a missing
'{' at the beginning of the file.
Simply stating that a line is invalid isn't particularly helpful.
- Do not claim to listen on a socket until Privoxy actually does.
Patch submitted by Petr Pisar #3354485
- Prevent a duplicated LOG_LEVEL_CLF message when sending out
the "no-server-data" response.
- Also log the client socket when dropping a connection.
- Include the destination host in the 'Request ... marked for
blocking. limit-connect{...} doesn't allow CONNECT ...' message
Patch submitted by Saperski in #3296250.
- Prevent a duplicated log message if none of the resolved IP
addresses were reachable.
- In connect_to(), do not pretend to retry if forwarded-connect-retries
is zero or unset.
- When a specified user or group can't be found, put the name in
single-quotes when logging it.
- In rfc2553_connect_to(), explain getnameinfo() errors better.
- Remove a useless log message in chat().
- When retrying to connect, also log the maximum number of connection
attempts.
- Rephrase a log message in compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list().
Divide the error code and its meaning with a colon. Call the pcrs
job dynamic and not the filter. Filters may contain dynamic and
non-dynamic pcrs jobs at the same time. Only mention the name of
the filter or tagger, but don't claim it's a filter when it could
be a tagger.
- In a fatal error message in load_one_actions_file(), cover both
URL and TAG patterns.
- In pcrs_strerror(), properly report unknown positive error code
values as such. Previously they were handled like 0 (no error).
- In compile_dynamic_pcrs_job_list(), also log the actual error code as
pcrs_strerror() doesn't handle all errors reported by pcre.
- Don't bother trying to continue chatting if the client didn't ask for it.
Reduces log noise a bit.
- Make two fatal error message in load_one_actions_file() more descriptive.
- In cgi_send_user_manual(), log when rejecting a file name due to '/' or '..'.
- In load_file(), log a message if opening a file failed.
The CGI error message alone isn't too helpful.
- In connection_destination_matches(), improve two log messages
to help understand why the destinations don't match.
- Rephrase a log message in serve(). Client request arrival
should be differentiated from closed client connections now.
- In serve(), log if a client connection isn't reused due to a
configuration file change.
- Let mark_server_socket_tainted() always mark the server socket tainted,
just don't talk about it in cases where it has no effect. It doesn't change
Privoxy's behaviour, but makes understanding the log file easier.
- configure:
- Added a --disable-ipv6-support switch for platforms where support
is detected but doesn't actually work.
- Do not check for the existence of strerror() and memmove() twice
- Remove a useless test for setpgrp(2). Privoxy doesn't need it and
it can cause problems when cross-compiling.
- Rename the --disable-acl-files switch to --disable-acl-support.
Since about 2001, ACL directives are specified in the standard
config file.
- Update the URL of the 'Removing outdated PCRE version after the
next stable release' posting. The old URL stopped working after
one of SF's recent site "optimizations". Reported by Han Liu.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test:
- Added --shuffle-tests option to increase the chances of detection race conditions.
- Added a --local-test-file option that allows to use Privoxy-Regression-Test without Privoxy.
- Added tests for missing socks4 and socks4a forwarders.
- The --privoxy-address option now works with IPv6 addresses containing brackets, too.
- Perform limited sanity checks for parameters that are supposed to have numerical values.
- Added a --sleep-time option to specify a number of seconds to
sleep between tests, defaults to 0.
- Disable the range-requests tagger for tests that break if it's enabled.
- Log messages use the ISO 8601 date format %Y-%m-%d.
- Fix spelling in two error messages.
- In the --help output, include a list of supported tests and their default levels.
- Adjust the tests to properly deal with FEATURE_TOGGLE being disabled.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser:
- Perform limited sanity checks for command line parameters that
are supposed to have numerical values.
- Implement a --unbreak-lines-only option to try to revert MUA breakage.
- Accept and highlight: Added header: Content-Encoding: deflate
- Accept and highlight: Compressed content from 29258 to 8630 bytes.
- Accept and highlight: Client request arrived in time on socket 21.
- Highlight: Didn't receive data in time: a.fsdn.com:443
- Accept log messages with ISO 8601 time stamps, too.
- uagen:
- Bump generated Firefox version to 8.0.
- Only randomize the release date if the new --randomize-release-date
option is enabled. Firefox versions after 4 use a fixed date string
without meaning.

Fri Dec 2 16:32:09 UTC 2011 - coolo@suse.com
- add automake as buildrequire to avoid implicit dependency
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 28 19:44:40 UTC 2011 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- updated to upstream 3.0.17 stable
- privoxy-3.0.17-config.patch:
adjust chunk positions
filterfile user.filter is uncommented in upstream source, removed chunk
- privoxy-3.0.17-utf8.patch:
adjust chunk positions
- Fixed last-chunk-detection for responses where the content was small
enough to be read with the body, causing Privoxy to wait for the
end of the content until the server closed the connection or the
request timed out. Reported by "Karsten" in #3028326.
- Responses with status code 204 weren't properly detected as body-less
like RFC2616 mandates. Like the previous bug, this caused Privoxy to
wait for the end of the content until the server closed the connection
or the request timed out. Fixes #3022042 and #3025553, reported by a
user with no visible name. Most likely also fixes a bunch of other
AJAX-related problem reports that got closed in the past due to
insufficient information and lack of feedback.
- Fixed an ACL bug that made it impossible to build a blacklist.
Usually the ACL directives are used in a whitelist, which worked
as expected, but blacklisting is still useful for public proxies
where one only needs to deny known abusers access.
- Added LOG_LEVEL_RECEIVED to log the not-yet-parsed data read from the
network. This should make debugging various parsing issues a lot easier.
- The IPv6 code is enabled by default on Windows versions that support it.
Patch submitted by oCameLo in #2942729.
- In mingw32 versions, the user.filter file is reachable through the
GUI, just like default.filter is. Feature request 3040263.
- Added the configure option --enable-large-file-support to set a few
defines that are required by platforms like GNU/Linux to support files
larger then 2GB. Mainly interesting for users without proper logfile
management.
- Logging with "debug 16" no longer stops at the first nul byte which is
pretty useless. Non-printable characters are replaced with their hex value
so the result can't span multiple lines making parsing them harder then
necessary.
- Privoxy logs when reading an action, filter or trust file.
- Fixed incorrect regression test markup which caused a test in
3.0.16 to fail while Privoxy itself was working correctly.
While Privoxy accepts hide-referer, too, the action name is actually
hide-referrer which is also the name used one the final results page,
where the test expected the alias.
- CGI interface improvements:
- In finish_http_response(), continue to add the 'Connection: close'
header if the client connection will not be kept alive.
Anonymously pointed out in #2987454.
- Apostrophes in block messages no longer cause parse errors
when the blocked page is viewed with JavaScript enabled.
Reported by dg1727 in #3062296.
- Fix a bunch of anchors that used underscores instead of dashes.
- Allow to keep the client connection alive after crunching the previous request.
Already opened server connections can be kept alive, too.
- In cgi_show_url_info(), don't forget to prefix URLs that only contain
http:// or https:// in the path. Fixes #2975765 reported by Adam Piggott.
- Show the 404 CGI page if cgi_send_user_manual() is called while
local user manual delivery is disabled.
- Action file improvements:
- Enable user.filter by default. Suggested by David White in #3001830.
- Block .sitestat.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002725.
- Block .atemda.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002723.
- Block js.adlink.net/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002720.
- Block .analytics.yahoo.com/. Reported by johnd16 in #3002713.
- Block sb.scorecardresearch.com, too. Reported by dg1727 in #2992652.
- Fix problems noticed on Yahoo mail and news pages.
- Remove the too broad yahoo section, only keeping the
fast-redirects exception as discussed on ijbswa-devel@.
- Don't block adesklets.sourceforge.net. Reported in #2974204.
- Block chartbeat ping tracking. Reported in #2975895.
- Tag CSS and image requests with cautious and medium settings, too.
- Don't handle view.atdmt.com as image. It's used for click-throughs
so users should be able to "go there anyway".
Reported by Adam Piggott in #2975927.
- Also let the refresh-tags filter remove invalid refresh tags where
the 'url=' part is missing. Anonymously reported in #2986382.
While at it, update the description to mention the fact that only
refresh tags with refresh times above 9 seconds are covered.
- javascript needs to be blocked with +handle-as-empty-document to
work around Firefox bug 492459. So move .js blockers from
+block{Might be a web-bug.} -handle-as-empty-document to
+block{Might be a web-bug.} +handle-as-empty-document.
- ijbswa-Feature Requests-3006719 - Block 160x578 Banners.
- Block another omniture tracking domain.
- Added a range-requests tagger.
- Added two sections to get Flickr's Ajax interface working with
default pre-settings. If you change the configuration to block
cookies by default, you'll need additional exceptions.
Reported by Mathias Homann in #3101419 and by Patrick on ijbswa-users@.
- Documentation improvements:
- Explicitly mention how to match all URLs.
- Consistently recommend socks5 in the Tor FAQ entry and mention
its advantage compared to socks4a. Reported by David in #2960129.
- Slightly improve the explanation of why filtering may appear
slower than it is.
- Grammar fixes for the ACL section.
- Fixed a link to the 'intercepting' entry and add another one.
- Rename the 'Other' section to 'Mailing Lists' and reword it
to make it clear that nobody is forced to use the trackers
- Note that 'anonymously' posting on the trackers may not always
be possible.
- Suggest to enable debug 32768 when suspecting parsing problems.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser improvements:
- Gather statistics for ressources, methods, and HTTP versions
used by the client.
- Also gather statistics for blocked and redirected requests.
- Provide the percentage of keep-alive offers the client accepted.
- Add a --url-statistics-threshold option.
- Add a --host-statistics-threshold option to also gather
statistics about how many request where made per host.
- Fix a bug in handle_loglevel_header() where a 'scan: ' got lost.
- Add a --shorten-thread-ids option to replace the thread id with
a decimal number.
- Accept and ignore: Looks like we got the last chunk together
with the server headers. We better stop reading.
- Accept and ignore: Continue hack in da house.
- Accept and higlight: Rejecting connection from 10.0.0.2.
Maximum number of connections reached.
- Accept and highlight: Loading actions file: /usr/local/etc/privoxy/default.action
- Accept and highlight: Loading filter file: /usr/local/etc/privoxy/default.filter
- Accept and highlight: Killed all-caps Host header line: HOST: bestproxydb.com
- Accept and highlight: Reducing expected bytes to 0. Marking
the server socket tainted after throwing 4 bytes away.
- Accept: Merged multiple header lines to: 'X-FORWARDED-PROTO: http X-HOST: 127.0.0.1'
- Code cleanups:
- Remove the next member from the client_state struct. Only the main
thread needs access to all client states so give it its own struct.
- Garbage-collect request_contains_null_bytes().
- Ditch redundant code in unload_configfile().
- Ditch LogGetURLUnderCursor() which doesn't seem to be used anywhere.
- In write_socket(), remove the write-only variable write_len in
an ifdef __OS2__ block. Spotted by cppcheck.
- In connect_to(), don't declare the variable 'flags' on OS/2 where
it isn't used. Spotted by cppcheck.
- Limit the scope of various variables. Spotted by cppcheck.
- In add_to_iob(), turn an interestingly looking for loop into a
boring while loop.
- Code cleanup in preparation for external filters.
- In listen_loop(), mention the socket on which we accepted the
connection, not just the source IP address.
- In write_socket(), also log the socket we're writing to.
- In log_error(), assert that escaped characters get logged
completely or not at all.
- In log_error(), assert that ival and sval have reasonable values.
There's no reason not to abort() if they don't.
- Remove an incorrect cgi_error_unknown() call in a
cannnot-happen-situation in send_crunch_response().
- Clean up white-space in http_response definition and
move the crunch_reason to the beginning.
- Turn http_response.reason into an enum and rename it
to http_response.crunch_reason.
- Silence a 'gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2' warning on i686 GNU/Linux.
- Fix white-space in a log message in remove_chunked_transfer_coding().
While at it, add a note that the message doesn't seem to
be entirely correct and should be improved later on.
- GNUmakefile improvements:
- Use $(SSH) instead of ssh, so one only needs to specify a username once.
- Removed references to the action feedback thingy that hasn't been
working for years.
- Consistently use shell.sourceforge.net instead of shell.sf.net so
one doesn't need to check server fingerprints twice.
- Removed GNUisms in the webserver and webactions targets so they
work with standard tar.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 15 18:25:24 UTC 2010 - per@osbeck.com
- updated to 3.0.16 stable
- Added the config file option handle-as-empty-doc-returns-ok to
work around Firefox bug #492459, which causes Firefox to hang
if JavaScripts are blocked in certain situations. The option is
enabled in the default config file.
- Added the config file option default-server-timeout to control the
assumed default server timeout. Since Privoxy no longer returns
an error message for connection resets on reused client connections,
assuming larger server timeout values appears to actually work
pretty well as long as connections aren't shared.
- Added optional support for FreeBSD's accf_http(9). Use the
configure option --enable-accept-filter to enable it.
- Added fancier Privoxy icons for win32. Contributed by Jeff H.
- In daemon mode, fd 0, 1 and 2 are bound to /dev/null.
- Resolve localhost using whatever address family the operating
system feels like. Previous betas would try to use IPv4 as this
is what most users expect, but this didn't work reliably on
GNU/Linux systems.
- In the action lists on CGI pages, actions and their parameters are
no longer separated with a space. The action file parser doesn't
actually allow this and will throw an invalid syntax error if actions
and parameters in the action files are separated. Not adding the
spaces means copy and pasting CGI output into the action files works.
- The default keep-alive timeout has been reduced to 5 seconds to work
around hangs in clients that treat the proxy like any other host and
stop allowing any new connections if the "maximum number of
connections per host" is reached.
- Several webbug URLs that look like they are leading to images are now
blocked as image instead of empty documents. Doing the latter causes
WebKit-based clients to show a "missing image" icon which may mess up
the layout.
- The no-such-domain template is used for DNS resolution
problems with FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. Previously the
connect-failed template was used. Reported by 'zebul666'.
- Accepts quoted expiration dates even though RFC 2109 10.1.2
doesn't seem to allow them. Reported anonymously.
- Don't try to forget connections if connection sharing is disabled.
This wasn't a real problem but caused an unnecessary log message.
- The still undocumented --enable-extended-host-patterns configure
option has a better description.
- Fixed an error message that would claim a write to the server
failed when actually writing to the client failed.
- Log the crunch reason before trying to write to the client.
The log is easier to read that way.
- Several log messages about client connections also mention
the socket number.
- handle-as-empty-document no longer depends on the image blocking
code being enabled.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser is roughly 40% faster in highlighting mode.
- uagen, a Firefox User-Agent generator for Privoxy and Mozilla
browsers has been imported and is available in the tarball's
tools directory.
- The scripts in the tools directory treat unknown parameters
as fatal errors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 27 15:11:45 UTC 2010 - mseben@novell.com
- updated to 3.0.15 BETA
- In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
"No server or forwarder data received" error message many users
reported.
- More reliable detection of prematurely closed client sockets
with keep-alive enabled.
- FEATURE_CONNECTION_KEEP_ALIVE is decoupled from
FEATURE_CONNECTION_SHARING and now available on
all platforms.
- Improved handling of POST requests on reused connections.
Should fix problems with stalled connections after submitting
form data with some browser configurations.
- Fixed various latency calculation issues.
- Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work
in 3.0.13 beta but actually didn't. Now it's confirmed to work
with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
- Fixed a calculation problem if receiving the server headers
takes more than two reads, that could cause Privoxy to terminate
the connection prematurely. Reported by Oliver.
- Compiles again on platforms such as OpenBSD and systems
using earlier glibc version that don't support AI_ADDRCONFIG.
Anonymously submitted in #2872591.
- A bunch of MS VC project files and Suse and Redhat RPM spec
files have been removed as they were no longer maintained for
quite some time.
- Overly long action lines are properly rejected with a proper
error message. Previously they would be either rejected as
invalid or cause a core dump through abort().
- Already timed-out connections are no longer temporarily remembered.
They weren't reused anyway, but wasted a socket slot.
- len refers to the number of bytes actually read which might
differ from the ones received. Adjust log messages accordingly.
- The optional JavaScript on the CGI page uses encodeURIComponent()
instead of escape() which doesn't encode all characters that matter.
Anonymously reported in #2832722.
- Fix gcc45 warnings in decompress_iob().
- Various log message improvements.
- Privoxy-Regression-Test supports redirect tests.
- Privoxy-Log-Parser can gather some connection statistics.
- moved init script to init.suse file and dropped diff against
tarball: init.patch

Wed Aug 5 12:46:53 CEST 2009 - mseben@suse.cz
- updated to 3.0.14 BETA
* The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to
reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of
connections problems several users reported.
* If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive,
Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
* The error pages for connection timeouts or missing server data use a
Last-Modified date in the past.
* Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support.
* Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request
body of the previous request.
* Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced
to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
* For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not
setting any Connection header instead of using 'Connection: keep-alive'.
* If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste
a socket slot to remember the connection.
* If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's
Keep-Alive header is removed.
* Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log
timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second.
* No Proxy-Connection header if added if there already is one.
* The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching
for groups and id.
- version 3.0.13 BETA
* Added IPv6 support. Thanks to Petr Pisar
* The connection sharing code is only used if the connection-sharing
option is enabled.
* The max-client-connections option has been added to restrict
the number of client connections below a value enforced by
the operating system.
* Compressed content with extra fields couldn't be decompressed
and would get passed to the client unfiltered.
* If the server resets the Connection after sending only the headers
Privoxy forwards what it got to the client.
* Error messages in case of connection timeouts use the right
HTTP status code.
* If spawning a child to handle a request fails, the client
gets an error message and Privoxy continues to listen for
new requests right away.
* The error messages in case of server-connection timeouts or
prematurely closed server connections are now template-based.
* If zlib support isn't compiled in, Privoxy no longer tries to
filter compressed content unless explicitly asked to do so.
* In case of connections that are denied based on ACL directives,
the memory used for the client IP is no longer leaked.
* Fixed another small memory leak if the client request times out
while waiting for client headers other than the request line.
* The client socket is kept open until the server socket has
been marked as unused. This should increase the chances that
the still-open connection will be reused for the client's next
request to the same destination. Note that this only matters
if connection-sharing is enabled.

Fri May 15 15:45:50 CEST 2009 - mseben@suse.cz
- modified config.patch : enabled filterfile user.filter in
config by default (bnc#504563)
- updated to 3.0.12
* The socket-timeout option now also works on platforms whose
select() implementation modifies the timeout structure.
* The Connection: keep-alive code properly deals with files
larger than 2GB.
* The content length for files above 2GB is logged correctly.
* The user-manual directive on the show-status page links to
the documentation location specified with the directive,
not to the Privoxy website.
* When running in daemon mode, Privoxy doesn't log anything
to the console unless there are errors before the logfile
has been opened.
* The show-status page prints warnings about invalid directives
on the same line as the directives themselves.
* Fixed several justified (but harmless) compiler warnings
* In verbose mode, or if the new option --show-skipped-tests
is used, Privoxy-Regression-Test logs skipped tests and the
skip reason.
- changes in version 3.0.11
* On most platforms, outgoing connections can be kept alive and
reused if the server supports it.
* When dropping privileges, membership in supplementary groups
is given up as well. Not doing that can lead to Privoxy running
with more rights than necessary and violates the principle of
least privilege. Users of the --user option are advised to update.
Thanks to Matthias Drochner for reporting the problem,
providing the initial patch and testing the final version.
* Passing invalid users or groups with the --user option
didn't lead to program exit. Regression introduced in 3.0.7.
* The match all section has been moved from default.action
to a new file called match-all.action. As a result the
default.action no longer needs to be touched by the user
and can be safely overwritten by updates.
* The standard.action file has been removed. Its content
is now part of the default.action file.
* In some situations the logged content length was slightly too low.
* Crunched requests are logged with their own log level.
If you used "debug 1" in the past, you'll probably want
to additionally enable "debug 1024", otherwise only passed
requests will be logged. If you only care about crunched
requests, simply replace "debug 1" with "debug 1024".
* The crunch reason has been moved to the beginning of the
crunch message. For HTTP URLs, the protocol is logged as well.
* Log messages are shortened by printing the thread id on its own.
* The config option socket-timeout has been added to control
the time Privoxy waits for data to arrive on a socket.
* Support for remote toggling is controlled by the configure
option --disable-toggle only.
* Requests with invalid HTTP versions are rejected.
* The template symbol @date@ can be used to include a date(1)-like
time string. Initial patch submitted by Endre Szabo.
* Responses from shoutcast servers are accepted again.
Problem reported and fix suggested by Stefan.
* The hide-forwarded-for-headers action has been replaced with
the change-x-forwarded-for{} action which can also be used to
add X-Forwarded-For headers.

- update to version 3.0.10 stable
* Ordinary configuration file changes no longer cause program
termination on OS/2 if the name of the logfile hasn't been
changed as well. This regression probably crept in with the
logging improvements in 3.0.7. Reported by Maynard.
* The img-reorder filter is less likely to mess up JavaScript
code in img tags. Problem and solution reported in #2014552.
* The source tar ball now includes Privoxy-Log-Parser,
a syntax-highlighter for Privoxy logs. For fancy screenshots
see: http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy-log-parser/
Documentation is available through perldoc(1).
