The `user`, `password`, `version_string` and `weightby` values should be
allocated as a part of the service structure. This allows them to be
modified at runtime without having to worry about memory allocation
problems.
Although this removes the problem of reallocation, it still does not make
the updating of the strings thread-safe. This can cause invalid values to
be read from the service strings.
A self link to the resource itself provides a convenient way for the
client to request a resource, modify it and call the self link to update
it. This removes some of the burden on the client to keep track of the
resource links by placing these in the resource itself.
The server can now be modified with a PUT request of a modified server
resource. The server resource was reorganized to have the parameters as a
separate entity from the other more general entities of the resource.
The PUT/POST functions return a more appropriate error message when no
request body is provided.
Moved some of the constant names used in server.cc into the config.h
header.
The parameter names for monitors and servers now use a set of constant
names. This removes some of the errors caused by spelling mistakes when
the same parameter name is repeated in multiple places.
The service, filter and listener parameters should also be converted to
constants. This allows for a consistent user experience.
The relationships from servers to services and monitors and filters to
services were not implemented. Now each server lists the services and
monitors that use it and each filter lists the services that use the
filter.
This enables the creation of a server and linking of that server to
services and monitors in one atomic operation.
When a resource has a relation to another resource, it should be expressed
as a working link to the resource. By passing the hostname of the server
to the functions, we are able to generate working relation links.
The old polling message system is obsolete now that the worker messages
are implemented. The old system was only used to clean up the persistent
connection pool of a server.
Adds a server-specific parameter, "use_proxy_protocol". If enabled,
a header string is sent to the backend when a routing session connection
changes state to MXS_AUTH_STATE_CONNECTED. The string contains the real
client IP and port.
