                                ProxyVerify.c

(Draw in a deep breath, and ...) this module implements a relatively simple,
pragmatic mechanism that allows a proxy server to authorize a request locally,
then convey that authorized username to a reverse-proxied server using a
standard HTTP "Authorization: basic ..." request field, while keeping the
original password private, and providing an HTTP-based mechanism for the
proxied-to server to verify that the request is indeed originating from the
proxy server.  It has been specifically developed to support a site (UMA)
with these requirements.  It may-or-may-not find more general usage!

As there is no way to predetermine which process will receive a verification
request when using multiple server instances the records must be capable of
being stored in a global section shared memory.  For a single instance the same
data structures are supported in local memory.


FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
----------------------
1) The proxy server subjects the reverse-proxy path to authorization.  The
client is required to provide credentials with the request.  These credentials
are assessed by the proxy server and the request allowed to procede or rejected
and the credentials rerequested.

2) The username from the credentials is used to build a new, base-64 encoded,
'basic' authorization string (<username>:<password>) for use in the request
header sent to the proxied-to server.  The password component is derived from
an MD5 hash of the username, a binary counter and binary time components.  It
is UNIQUE FOR EVERY REQUEST and is OPAQUE TO THE PROXIED-TO SERVER.  The
original password is not transmitted.  This base-64 encoded authorization
string is stored by the proxy server as a record for later verification.   If
for some reason it cannot be generated or stored (e.g. records all in use) the
calling routine should abort the request and report an error (by checking
whether 'tkptr->VerifyRecordPtr' has remained NULL).

3) The proxied-to server receives the request and decodes the "Authorization:
basic ..." field sent with it, if required.  From that the original username
can be parsed.  If the proxied-to server wishes to verify that request is what
it purports to be - an already authorized, proxied request - it can request the
proxy server to do that by sending a standard HTTP GET request containing the
path prefix '/httpd/-/verify/' followed by the base-64 encoded string supplied
with the "Authorization: basic ..." field.

  NOTE: the verification string contains the username as well as a hash
        derived in part from using that username.  The username could not be
        substituted without changing the encoded string.  Using the entire
        authorization string verifies the username as well as the request.

4) The proxy server receives a request to verify the included authorization
string.  It searches through the verification records looking for one
containing that string.  If it finds it and that request has not been
previously verified returns a 200 (success) response.  If it cannot find it a
404 (not found) response.  If has been previously verified a 403 (forbidden)
response.

5) The proxied-to server assesses the response and continues or aborts the
request processing.

6) As the original request is rundown on the proxy server it clears the
corresponding verification record.


CONFIGURATION
-------------
The facility is enabled by setting WASD_CONFIG_GLOBAL [ProxyVerifyRecordMax]
to be non-zero.

Specific paths must then be SET in WASD_CONFIG_MAP to have reverse-proxy
verification performed.

  pass /httpd/-/verify/*
  redirect /proxied-to-server/* /http://proxied.to.server/*
  set http://proxied.to.server/* proxy=reverse=verify
  pass http://proxied.to.server/*

Of course the reverse-proxy path must also be appropriately authorized in
WASD_CONFIG_AUTH.

  ["realm description"=realm=type]
  http://proxied.to.server/* r+w


DEVELOPMENT
-----------
For development purposes the proxied-to server can make a request

  /httpd/-/verify/<3-digit-code>

and receive the response appropriate to that HTTP status code without there
being an actual request under verification.  That is, using
"/httpd/-/verify/200" returns a success response, "/httpd/-/verify/404" a not
found response, "/httpd/-/verify/501" a disabled response, etc.
