v3.5.2

This version backports some fixes that were already in master. See #565 for more details.

Versions 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 were retired because of a problem with NuGet package dependencies. See #569 for details.

Backport non-breaking changes to version 3

PR #450

Version 3.4.0 contains breaking changes. Oops!

This PR is a backport of non-breaking changes since version 3.3.3.

Improvements in EmbedIO.Net.Internal namespace; also, component collections are back

From @rdeago PR #448 :

In preparation for version 4.0, I made some changes to internal classes.

No breaking changes here; this PR could probably be backported to version 3 if desired.

EDIT: I also added back component collections, so they can be safely removed from SWAN 3.0.

EDIT: Added JSON request deserializer with specified property name casing.

Fix issue FileSystemWatcher with OSX

Issue #423

Improvements to IPBanningModule

The module was rewritten to use pluggable criterions and add the ability to ban by max requests per second.

New Security Module

EmbedIO brings a new security module named IPBanningModule. This module is an out-of-box feature similar to Fail2ban.

This module integrates one watcher for possible service abuse:

1 - Direct logger inspection - Add Regular Expressions to validate brute-force attacks.

In the next release we will include:

2 - Open connections inspection - Set up max connections per time to validate service abuse attacks.

Check the following example where the module is activated to the webserver with a whitelist of valid clients and a rule to detect massive 404 responses.

var server = new WebServer(o => o
                    .WithUrlPrefix("http://localhost:1010")
                    .WithMode(HttpListenerMode.EmbedIO))
                .WithIPBanning(o => o
                    .WithWhitelist(
                        "",
                        "172.16.16.124",
                        "172.16.17.1/24",
                        "192.168.1-2.2-5")
                    .WithRules("(404 Not Found)+"), 5,5);

Let's know if you like this new feature or not.

Default behavior change

BREAKING CHANGE
Change Two behavior settings to default value true (Only EmbedIO HttpListener):

• EndPointManager.UseIpv6 - By default wildcard will bind to IPAddress.IPv6Any.
• HttpListener.IgnoreWriteExceptions - By default will ignore the exceptions on Response Output Write (this was the default behavior in v2).
