ngx_pstrdup() and ngx_copy() problems

Description

Hi.

It looks like strings are supposed to finish with '\0' char to be compatible with C strings. So ngx_pstrdup() must allocate and copy len+1, not just len.

ngx_copy() returns different values for different preprocessor conditions.

I don't know how to attach a file here, so patch could be found here: https://github.com/sem-hub/nginx/commit/4f2202ae8f17dfe086420a28e6e08d607528c53a

No, your assumptions are wrong. Strings in nginx are not expected to be null-terminated in general. The ngx_pstrdup() function is expected to duplicate the string passed, exactly, and this is what it currently does. The change to ngx_copy() is also wrong, you've missed dst++ in the loop.
