Due to historical reasons, ejabberd loads the whole file/data
into the memory when serving an HTTP request. This is now improved:
1) For GET requests ejabberd uses sendfile(2) if the underlying
connection is HTTP and falls back to read/write loop with 64kb
buffer for HTTPS connections. This type of requests are handled
by mod_http_fileserver, mod_http_upload, ejabberd_captcha, etc
2) POST requests are now limited to 20Mb and are fully downloaded
into the memory for further processing (by ejabberd_web_admin,
mod_bosh, etc)
3) PUT requests (e.g. for mod_http_upload) are handled by read/write
loop with 64kb buffer
Since now, ejabberd doesn't ignore unknown options and doesn't
allow to have options with malformed values. The rationale for
this is to avoid unexpected behaviour during runtime, i.e. to
conform to "fail early" approach. Note that it's safe to reload
a configuration with potentialy invalid and/or unknown options:
this will not halt ejabberd, but will only prevent the configuration
from loading.
***NOTE FOR PACKAGE BUILDERS***
This new behaviour should be documented in the upgrade notes.
Now all external ports are attached to supervising processes
and requests are balanced in round-robin manner until the pool
is exhausted.
The commit also deprecates `extauth_instances` option and introduces
`extauth_pool_size` option instead, with the default value of a number
of logical processors (i.e. CPU cores).
Fixes#2403
Some mobile apps might only be notified on actual chat messages with
a body, so don't let mod_push_keepalive reset the stream management
timeout on other types of traffic.
Add 'include_sender' and 'include_body' options. If one or both of them
are set to 'true', a urn:xmpp:push:summary form with the enabled
field(s) is included in push notifications that are generated for
messages with a body.
The 'include_body' option can instead be set to a static text. In this
case, the specified text will be included in place of the actual message
body. This can be useful to signal the push service whether the
notification was triggered by a message with body (as opposed to other
types of traffic) without leaking actual message contents.
