Elasticsearch enables HTTP compression by default. However, to mitigate
potential security risks like the BREACH attack, compression is disabled by
default if HTTPS is enabled.
This updates the `http.compression` setting definition accordingly and adds
additional context.

This is related to #29500 and #28898. This commit removes the abilitiy
to disable http pipelining. After this commit, any elasticsearch node
will support pipelined requests from a client. Additionally, it extracts
some of the http pipelining work to the server module. This extracted
work is used to implement pipelining for the nio plugin.
This commit removes the http.enabled setting. While all real nodes (started with bin/elasticsearch) will always have an http binding, there are many tests that rely on the quickness of not actually needing to bind to 2 ports. For this case, the MockHttpTransport.TestPlugin provides a dummy http transport implementation which is used by default in ESIntegTestCase.
closes#12792
Control max size and count of warning headers
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_count" to control the maximum number of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
Add a static persistent cluster level setting
"http.max_warning_header_size" to control the maximum total size of
warning headers in client HTTP responses.
Defaults to unbounded.
With every warning header that exceeds these limits,
a message will be logged in the main ES log,
and any more warning headers for this response will be
ignored.
I am not sure why we have this leniency for HTTP max content length, it
has been there since the beginning
(5ac51ee93f) with no explanation of its
source. That said, our philosophy today is different than the philosophy
of the past where Elasticsearch would be quite lenient in its handling
of settings and today we aim for predictability for both users and
us. This commit removes leniency in the parsing of
http.max_content_length.
This commit enforces the requirement of Content-Type for the REST layer and removes the deprecated methods in transport
requests and their usages.
While doing this, it turns out that there are many places where *Entity classes are used from the apache http client
libraries and many of these usages did not specify the content type. The methods that do not specify a content type
explicitly have been added to forbidden apis to prevent more of these from entering our code base.

This change adds a strict mode for xcontent parsing on the rest layer. The strict mode will be off by default for 5.x and in a separate commit will be enabled by default for 6.0. The strict mode, which can be enabled by setting `http.content_type.required: true` in 5.x, will require that all incoming rest requests have a valid and supported content type header before the request is dispatched. In the non-strict mode, the Content-Type header will be inspected and if it is not present or not valid, we will continue with auto detection of content like we have done previously.
The content type header is parsed to the matching XContentType value with the only exception being for plain text requests. This value is then passed on with the content bytes so that we can reduce the number of places where we need to auto-detect the content type.
As part of this, many transport requests and builders were updated to provide methods that
accepted the XContentType along with the bytes and the methods that would rely on auto-detection have been deprecated.
In the non-strict mode, deprecation warnings are issued whenever a request with body doesn't provide the Content-Type header.
See #19388
With this commit we compress HTTP responses provided the client
supports it (as indicated by the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding').
We're also able to process compressed HTTP requests if needed.
The default compression level is lowered from 6 to 3 as benchmarks
have indicated that this reduces query latency with a negligible
increase in network traffic.
Closes#7309
Today, we disable CORS by default, but if a user simply enables CORS their instance of
elasticsearch will allow cross origin requests from anywhere, as the default value for allowed
origins is `*`.
This changes the default to be `null` so that no origins are allowed and the user must explicitly
specify the origins they wish to allow requests from. The documentation also mentions that there
is a security risk in using `*` as the value.
Closes#11169
Adds a setting to disable detailed error messages and full exception stack traces
in HTTP responses. When set to false, the error_trace request parameter will result
in a HTTP 400 response. When the error_trace parameter is not present, the message
of the first ElasticsearchException will be output and no nested exception messages
will be output.
This change adds a 'http.publish_port' setting to the HTTP module to configure
the port which HTTP clients should use when communicating with the node. This
is useful when running on a bridged network interface or when running behind
a proxy or firewall.
Closes#8807Closes#8137
This adds HTTP pipelining support to netty. Previously pipelining was not
supported due to the asynchronous nature of elasticsearch. The first request
that was returned by Elasticsearch, was returned as first response,
regardless of the correct order.
The solution to this problem is to add a handler to the netty pipeline
that maintains an ordered list and thus orders the responses before
returning them to the client. This means, we will always have some state
on the server side and also requires some memory in order to keep the
responses there.
Pipelining is enabled by default, but can be configured by setting the
http.pipelining property to true|false. In addition the maximum size of
the event queue can be configured.
The initial netty handler is copied from this repo
https://github.com/typesafehub/netty-http-pipeliningCloses#2665
This adds support to return the "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" header
if needed, so CORS will work flawlessly with authenticated applications.
Closes#6380
This commit adds regular expression support for the allow-origin
header depending on the value of the request `Origin` header.
The existing HttpRequestBuilder is also extended to support the
OPTIONS HTTP method.
