The address information has been updated. Instead of a combined ip:port structure that you had to parse to extract the individual information, you can now access that information directly. For example, instead of structures providing a single .address item, you now have these items: name (the combined ip:port), address (the IP address), and port (port number). In addition, all addresses now supply both the src (source) and dst (destination) socket information for both ends of connections.

Some familiar structures have been updated to accommodate this information:

proxy.backends is now in proxy.global.backends The .address field of each backend is an address-object as described earlier. For example, proxy.backends[1].address is proxy.global.backends[1].dst.name.

The read_auth() and read_handshake() functions no longer receive an auth parameter. Instead, all the data is available in the connection tables.

In read_handshake(), you access the information through the global proxy.connection table:

In read_auth(), you can use the following:

In the proxy.queries:append() function, a third parameter is an (optional) table with options specific to the this packet. Specifically, if you want to have access to the result set in the read_query_result() hook, you must set the resultset_is_needed flag:

proxy.queries:append( 1, ..., { resultset_is_needed = true } )

For more information, see proxy.queries.

proxy.backends is now in proxy.global.backends.
