Description

When SIGUSR1 is sent to lighttpd service, it starts sending 400 Bad Request.

Test case:

  1. Start lighttpd.
  2. Verify it is running by sending HTTPS request.
  3. Send SIGUSR1 to lighttpd process.
  4. Check HTTPS request.

You will see in log the following:

2022-07-26 13:48:00: (../src/server.c.1588) server started (lighttpd/1.4.65)
2022-07-26 13:48:09: (../src/server.c.1019) [note] graceful shutdown started

Here is the version info:

Current OpenWrt from Git master.

#> lighttpd -v
lighttpd/1.4.65 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver

Configuration: https://paste.lighttpd.net/EA#0hcRL8Ny5KcxPL78d5bkHg2l

Client used for testing: Microsoft Edge, Chrome.

Wireshark was used to verify that the SSL handshake by client is responded with 400 Bad Request plain text response by lighttpd.

This is relatively new issue, I do builds from time to time (once or twice a month), and I started experiencing it few builds back. So I think this is new to 1.4.65. Might be related to https://github.com/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/commit/da8025fb3075397a2c3edea08cdc5b8c5a624896 (just a wild guess).

Your config has four (4) $SERVER["socket"] with ssl.engine = "enable" On which socket(s) and port(s) did you see the issue?

All four (4) sockets are affected, ipv4 and also ipv6. lighttpd starts communicating plain-text over all 4 sockets. Verified with wget on all 4 addresses - before and after SIGUSR1 (I am using /etc/init.d/lighttpd reload).

Before:

wget http://10.84.1.1:443/
Downloading 'http://10.84.1.1:443/'
Connecting to 10.84.1.1:443
(null)                   0   - stalled -
Connection reset prematurely

After SIGUSR1:

wget http://10.84.1.1:443/
Downloading 'http://10.84.1.1:443/'
Connecting to 10.84.1.1:443

I missed annotating an early return in network_server_init()

Your patch indeed fixes the problem. Verified on OpenWrt master by manually adding the patch to the lighttpd package - attached. Calling /etc/init.d/lighttpd reload no longer switches the socket to plain text.
