infinite loops. The new LimitInternalRecursion directive configures
limits of subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests, after
which the request will be aborted. PR 19753 (and probably others).
[William Rowe, Jeff Trawick, André Malo]
*) core_output_filter: don't split the brigade after a FLUSH bucket if
it's the last bucket. This prevents creating unneccessary empty
brigades which may not be destroyed until the end of a keepalive
connection.
*) Add support for "streamy" PROPFIND responses.
*) mod_cgid: Eliminate a double-close of a socket. This resolves
various operational problems in a threaded MPM, since on the
second attempt to close the socket, the same descriptor was
often already in use by another thread for another purpose.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_negotiation: Introduce "prefer-language" environment variable,
which allows to influence the negotiation process on request basis
to prefer a certain language. [André Malo]
dynamically-generated documents. [Ken Coar, Bill Stoddard]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0245 (cve.mitre.org)
Fixed a bug causing apr_pvsprintf() to crash by sending an overly
long string. This can be triggered remotely through mod_dav,
mod_ssl, and other mechanisms.
Reported by David Endler <DEndler iDefense.com>. [Joe Orton]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0189 (cve.mitre.org)
Fixed a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting basic
authentication on Unix platforms related to thread-safety in
apr_password_validate().
Reported by John Hughes <john.hughes entegrity.com>.
*) Fix for mod_dav. Call the 'can_be_activity' callback, if provided,
when a MKACTIVITY request comes in.
*) Perform run-time query in apxs for apr and apr-util's includes.

caching. PR 17864.
*) Add a delete flag to htpasswd.
[Thom May]
*) Fix mod_rewrite's handling of absolute URIs. The escaping routines
now work scheme dependent and the query string will only be
appended if supported by the particular scheme. [André Malo]
*) Fixes for VPATH builds; copying special.mk and any future .mk files
from the source tree as well as the build tree (now creates a usable
configuration for apxs), and eliminated redundant -I'nclude paths.
[William Rowe]
*) Code fixes, constness corrections and ssl_toolkit_compat.h updates
for SSLC and OpenSSL toolkit compatibility. Still work remains to
be done to cripple features based on the limitations of RSA's binary
distribution of their SSL-C toolkit.

*) Linux 2.4+: If Apache is started as root and you code
CoreDumpDirectory, coredumps are enabled via the prctl() syscall.

*) ap_get_mime_headers_core: allocate space for the trailing null
when folding is in effect.
*) Fix --enable-mods-shared=most and other variants. [Aaron Bannert]
*) mod_log_config: Add the ability to log the id of the thread
processing the request via new %P formats. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Use appropriate language codes for Czech (cs) and Traditional Chinese
(zh-tw) in default config files. PR 9427. [André Malo]
*) mod_auth_ldap: Use generic whitespace character class when parsing
"require" directives, instead of literal spaces only. PR 17135.
[André Malo]
*) Hook mod_rewrite's type checker before mod_mime's one. That way the
RewriteRule [T=...] Flag should work as expected now. PR 19626.
[André Malo]
*) htpasswd: Check the processed file on validity. If a line is not empty
and not a comment, it must contain at least one colon. Otherwise exit
with error code 7. [Kris Verbeeck <Kris.Verbeeck ubizen.com>, Thom May]
*) Fix a problem that caused httpd to be linked with incorrect flags
on some platforms when mod_so was enabled by default, breaking
DSOs on AIX. PR 19012 [Jeff Trawick]
*) By default, use the same CC and CPP with which APR was built.
The user can override with CC and CPP environment variables.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix ap_construct_url() so that it surrounds IPv6 literal address
strings with []. This fixes certain types of redirection.
PR 19207. [Jeff Trawick]
*) forward port of buffer overflow fixes for htdigest. [Thom May]
*) Added AllowEncodedSlashes directive to permit control of whether
the server will accept encoded slashes ('%2f') in the URI path.
Default condition is off (the historical behaviour). This permits
environments in which the path-info needs to contain encoded
slashes. PR 543, 2389, 3581, 3589, 5687, 7066, 7865, 14639. [Ken Coar]
*) When using Redirect in directory context, append requested query
string if there's no one supplied by configuration. PR 10961.
[André Malo]
*) Unescape the supplied wildcard pattern in mod_autoindex. Otherwise
the pattern will not always match as desired. PR 12596.
[André Malo]
*) mod_autoindex now emits and accepts modern query string parameter
delimiters (;). Thus column headers no longer contain unescaped
ampersands. PR 10880 [André Malo]
*) Enable ap_sock_disable_nagle for Windows. This along with the
addition of APR_TCP_NODELAY_INHERITED to apr.hw will cause Nagle

to be disabled for Windows. [Allan Edwards]
*) Correct a mis-correlation between mpm_common.c and mpm_common.h;
This patch reverts us to pre-2.0.46 behavior, using the
ap_sock_disable_nagle noop macro, because ap_sock_disable_nagle
was never compiled on Win32. [Allan Edwards, William Rowe]
*) Fix a build problem with passing unsupported --enable-layout
args to apr and apr-util. This broke binbuild.sh as well as
user-specified layout parameters. PR 18649 [Justin Erenkrantz,
Jeff Trawick]
*) If a Date response header was already set in the headers array,
this value was ignored in favour of the current time. This meant
that Date headers on proxied requests where rewritten when they
should not have been. PR: 14376 [Graham Leggett]
*) Add code to buildconf that produces an httpd.spec file from
httpd.spec.in, using build/get-version.sh from APR.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Fixed a segfault when multiple ProxyBlock directives were used.

Content-Encoding: gzip header. This prevents gzip compressed content
from a CGI script from being compressed once more. PR 17797.

Changes with Apache 2.0.45
*) Fix possible segfaults under obscure error conditions within the
cgid daemon. [Jeff Trawick, William Rowe]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0132 (cve.mitre.org)
Close a Denial of Service vulnerability identified by David
Endler <DEndler iDefense.com> on all platforms. An unlimited
stream of newlines were acceptable between requests where each
<lf> would allocate an 80 byte buffer, leading very quickly to
memory exahustion. [Brian Pane]
*) Simpler, faster code path for request header scanning [Brian Pane]
*) SECURITY: Eliminated leaks of several file descriptors to child
processes, such as CGI scripts. This fix depends on the APR library
release 0.9.2 or later (0.9.3 was distributed with the httpd
source tarball for Apache 2.0.45.) PR 17206
[Christian Kratzer <ck cksoft.de>, Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz zabbadoz.net>]
*) Fix path handling of mod_rewrite, especially on non-unix systems.
There was some confusion between local paths and URL paths.
PR 12902. [André Malo]
*) Prevent endless loops of internal redirects in mod_rewrite by
aborting after exceeding a limit of internal redirects. The
limit defaults to 10 and can be changed using the RewriteOptions
directive. PR 17462. [André Malo]
*) Win32: Avoid busy wait (consuming all the CPU idle cycles) when
all worker threads are busy.
*) Keep the subrequest filter in place when a subrequest is
redirected. PR 15423. [Jeff Trawick]
*) you can now specify the compression level for mod_deflate.

allow accurate logging of the filter's in- and outstream.
[André Malo]
*) Allow SSLMutex to select/use the full range of APR locking
mechanisms available to it. Also, fix the bug that SSLMutex uses
APR_LOCK_DEFAULT no matter what. PR 8122 [Jim Jagielski,
*) Restore the ability of htdigest.exe to create files that contain
more than one user. PR 12910. [André Malo]
*) Improve binary compatibility of the core between debug (aka
maintainer-mode) and a non-debug compile.
[Sander Striker]
*) mod_usertrack: don't set the cookie in subrequests. This works
around the problem that cookies were set twice during fast internal
redirects. PR 13211. [André Malo]
*) mod_autoindex no longer forgets output format and enabled version
sort in linked column headers. [André Malo]
*) Use .sv instead of .se as extension for Swedish documents in the
default configuration. PR 12877. [André Malo]
*) Updated mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap to support the Novell LDAP SDK SSL
Bradley Nicholes

and standardized the LDAP SSL support across the various LDAP SDKs.
Isolated the SSL functionality to mod_ldap rather than speading it
across mod_auth_ldap and mod_ldap. Also added LDAPTrustedCA
and LDAPTrustedCAType directives to mod_ldap to allow for a more
common method of specifying the SSL certificate.
[Dave Ward, Brad Nicholes]
*) Fixed mod_ssl's SSLCertificateChain initialization to no longer
skip the first cert of the chain by default. This misbehavior
was introduced in 2.0.34. PR 14560 [Madhusudan Mathihalli]
*) mod_cgi, mod_cgid, mod_ext_filter: Log errors when scripts cannot
be started on Unix because of such problems as bad permissions,
bad shebang line, etc. [Jeff Trawick]

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix segfault which occurred when a section in an included
configuration file was not closed. PR 17093. [André Malo]
*) Enhance the behavior of mod_isapi's WriteClient() callback to
provide better emulation for isapi modules that presume that the
first WriteClient() call may send status and headers. An example
of WriteClient() abuse is the foxisapi module, which relies on
that assumpion and now works. [William Rowe, Milan Kosina]
