  *) Gracefully handly retry situations in the SSL input filter,
     by following the SSL libraries' retry semantics.
     [William Rowe]

  *) Terminate CGI scripts when the client connection drops.  This
     fix only applies to some normal paths in mod_cgi.  mod_cgid
     is still busted.  PR 8388  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a bug where 416 "Range not satisfiable" was being
     returned for content that should have been redirected.
     [Greg Ames]

  *) Fix memory leak in mod_ssl from internal SSL library allocations
     within SSL_get_peer_certificate and X509_get_pubkey.
     [Zvi Har'El <rl@math.technion.ac.il>
      Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>].

  *) mod_ssl uses free() inappropriately in several places, to free
     memory which has been previously allocated inside OpenSSL.
     Such memory should be freed with OPENSSL_free(), not with free().
     [Nadav Har'El <nyh@math.technion.ac.il>,
      Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>].

  *) Emit a message to the error log when we return 404 because
     the URI contained '%2f'.  (This was previously nastily silent
     and difficult to debug.)  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix streaming output from an nph- CGI script.  CGI:IRC now
     works.  PR 8482  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) More accurate logging of bytes sent in mod_logio when
     the client terminates the connection before the response
     is completely sent  [Bojan Smojver <bojan@rexursive.com>]

  *) Fix some problems in the perchild MPM.  
     [Jonas Eriksson <jonas@webkonsulterna.com>]

  *) Change the CacheRoot processing to check for a required
     value at config time. This saves a lot of wasted processing
     if the mod_disk_cache module is loaded but no CacheRoot
     was provided. This fix also adds code to log an error
     and avoid useless pallocs and procesing when the computed
     cache file name cannot be opened. This also updates the
     docs accordingly.  [Paul J. Reder]

  *) Introduce the EnableSendfile directive, allowing users of NFS 
     shares to disable sendfile mechanics when they either fail
     outright or provide intermitantly corrupted data.  PR 
     [William Rowe]

  *) Resolve the error "An operation was attempted on something 
     that is not a socket.  : winnt_accept: AcceptEx failed. 
     Attempting to recover." for users of various firewall and
     anti-virus software on Windows.  PR 8325  [William Rowe]

  *) Add the ProxyBadHeader directive, which gives the admin some
     control on how mod_proxy should handle bogus HTTP headers from
     proxied servers. This allows 2.0 to "emulate" 1.3's behavior if
     desired. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Change the LDAP modules to export their symbols correctly
     during a Windows build. Add dsp files for Windows. Update
     README.ldap file for Windows build instructions.
     [Andre Schild <A.Schild@aarboard.ch>]

  *) Performance improvements for the code that generates HTTP
     response headers  [Brian Pane]

  *) Add -S as a synonym for -t -DDUMP_VHOSTS.
     [Thom May <thom@planetarytramp.net>]

  *) Fix a bug with dbm rewrite maps which caused the wrong value to
     be used when the key was not found in the dbm.  PR 13204
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a problem with streaming script output and mod_cgid.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add ap_register_provider/ap_lookup_provider API.
     [John K. Sterling <john@sterls.com>, Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Rewrite of aaa modules to an authn/authz model.
     [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Justin Erenkrantz]

Changes with Apache 2.0.43

  *) SECURITY: [CAN-2002-0840] HTML-escape the address produced by 
     ap_server_signature() against this cross-site scripting 
     vulnerability exposed by the directive 'UseCanonicalName Off'.  
     Also HTML-escape the SERVER_NAME environment variable for CGI 
     and SSI requests.  It's safe to escape as only the '<', '>', 
     and '&' characters are affected, which won't appear in a valid 
     hostname.  Reported by Matthew Murphy <mattmurphy@kc.rr.com>.
     [Brian Pane]

  *) Fix a core dump in mod_cache when it attemtped to store uncopyable
     buckets. This happened, for instance, when a file to be cached
     contained SSI tags to execute a CGI script (passed as a pipe
     bucket). [Paul J. Reder]

  *) Ensure that output already available is flushed to the network
     when the content-length filter realizes that no new output will
     be available for a while.  This helps some streaming CGIs as
     well as some other dynamically-generated content.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix a mutex problem in mod_ssl session cache support which
     could lead to an infinite loop.  PR 12705  
     [amund.elstad@ergo.no (Amund Elstad), Jeff Trawick]

  *) SECURITY: CAN-2002-1156 (cve.mitre.org)
      Fix the exposure of CGI source when a POST request is sent to 
      a location where both DAV and CGI are enabled. [Ryan Bloom]
  *) Allow the UserDir directive to accept a list of directories.
     This matches what Apache 1.3 does.  Also add documentation for
     this feature. [Jay Ball <jay@veggiespam.com>]

  *) New Module: mod_logio. adds the ability to log bytes sent and
     received. [Bojan Smojver <bojan@rexursive.com>]

  *) SuExec needs to use the same default directory as the rest of
     server, namely /usr/local/apache2.  
     [SangBeom han <sbhan@os.korea.ac.kr>]

  *) Get mod_auth_ldap to retry connections on LDAP_SERVER_DOWN.
     [Thomas Bennett <thomas.bennett@eds.com>, Graham Leggett]

  *) Make sure the contents of the WWW-Authenticate header is
     passed on a 4xx error by proxy. Previously all headers
     were dropped, resulting in the browser being unable to
     authenticate. [Dr Richard Reiner <rreiner@fscinternet.com>,
     Richard Danielli <rdanielli@fscinternet.com>, Graham Wiseman
     <gwiseman@fscinternet.com>, David Henderson
     <dhenderson@fscinternet.com>]

  *) Make mod_cache's CacheMaxStreamingBuffer directive work
     properly for virtual hosts that override server-wide mod_cache
     setttings.  [Matthieu Estrade <estrade-m@ifrance.com>]

  *) Add -p option to apxs to allow programs to be compiled with apxs.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

Changes with Apache 2.0.41
  *) The protocol version (eg: HTTP/1.1) in the request line parsing
     is now case insensitive. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Allow AddOutputFilterByType to add multiple filters per directive.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Remove warnings with Sun's Forte compiler.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Fixed mod_disk_cache's generation of 304s
     [Kris Verbeeck <Kris.Verbeeck@ubizen.com>]

  *) Add support for using fnmatch patterns in the final path
     segment of an Include statement (eg.. include /foo/bar/*.conf).
     and remove the noise on stderr during config dir processing.
     [Joe Orton <jorton@redhat.com>]

  *) mod_cache: cache_storage.c. Add the hostname and any request
     args to the key generated for caching. This provides a unique
     key for each virtual host and for each request with unique
     args. [Paul J. Reder, args code provided by Kris Verbeeck]

  *) mod_cache: Do not cache responses to GET requests with query
     URLs if the origin server does not explicitly provide an
     Expires header on the response (RFC 2616 Section 13.9)
     [Kris Verbeeck krisv@be.ubizen.com]
  *) Fix memory leak in core_output_filter.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Update OpenSSL detection to work on Darwin.
     [Sander Temme <sctemme@covalent.net>]

  *) Update the xslt and css to give the documentation a more
     modern style.
     [André Malo <nd@perlig.de>, Gernot Winkler <greh@o3media.de>]
  *) Fix some bucket memory leaks in the chunking code
     [Joe Schaefer <joe+apache@sunstarsys.com>]

  *) Add ModMimeUsePathInfo directive.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) mod_cache: added support for caching streamed responses (proxy,
     CGI, etc) with optional CacheMaxStreamingBuffer setting [Brian Pane]

  *) Add image/x-icon to httpd.conf PR 10993.
     [Ian Holsman, Peter Bieringer <pb@bieringer.de>]

  *) Fix FileETags none operation.  PR 12207.
     [Justin Erenkrantz, Andrew Ho <andrew@tellme.com>]
