The need has been spotted in issue https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3687.
Using "NYTimes/gziphandler", the http api responses can now be compressed if required.
The Go API requires compressed response if possible and handle the compressed response.
We here change only the http api (not the UI for instance).
See https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3977
While trying to improve furthermore #3948 (This pull request is still valid since we are not using Compression to compute the result anyway).
I saw a strange behaviour of dns library.
Basically, msg.Len() and len(msg.Pack()) disagree on Message len.
Thus, calculation of DNS response is false consul relies on msg.Len() instead of the result of Pack()
This is linked to miekg/dns#453 and a fix has been provided with miekg/dns#454
Would it be possible to upgrade miekg/dns to a more recent function ?
Consul might for instance upgrade to a post 1.0 release such as https://github.com/miekg/dns/releases/tag/v1.0.4
Update posener/complete to revision=v1.1.
Leave only once occurrence of posener/complete in vendor, there was an occurrence for
each package individualy.
The formatting of vendor/vendor.json has changed after using
the command "govendor fetch github.com/posener/complete@=v1.1"
* Refactors the HTTP listen path to create servers in the same spot.
* Adds HTTP/2 support to Consul's HTTPS server.
* Vendors Go HTTP/2 library and associated deps.
This patch updates the go-discover library to use the new config parser
which uses a different encoding scheme for the go-discover config DSL.
Values are no longer URL encoded but taken literally unless they contain
spaces, backslashes or double quotes. To support keys or values with
these special characters the string needs to be double quoted and usual
escaping rules apply.
Fixes#3417
* vendor: add github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch for diff'ing test output
* config: refactor Sanitize to recursively clean runtime config and format complex fields
* Removes an extra int cast.
* Adds a top-level check test case for sanitization.
* new config parser for agent
This patch implements a new config parser for the consul agent which
makes the following changes to the previous implementation:
* add HCL support
* all configuration fragments in tests and for default config are
expressed as HCL fragments
* HCL fragments can be provided on the command line so that they
can eventually replace the command line flags.
* HCL/JSON fragments are parsed into a temporary Config structure
which can be merged using reflection (all values are pointers).
The existing merge logic of overwrite for values and append
for slices has been preserved.
* A single builder process generates a typed runtime configuration
for the agent.
The new implementation is more strict and fails in the builder process
if no valid runtime configuration can be generated. Therefore,
additional validations in other parts of the code should be removed.
The builder also pre-computes all required network addresses so that no
address/port magic should be required where the configuration is used
and should therefore be removed.
