Changes with Apache 2.4.24

  *) mod_http2: CVE-2016-8740: Mitigate DoS memory exhaustion via endless
     CONTINUATION frames.
     [Naveen Tiwari <naveen.tiwari@asu.edu> and CDF/SEFCOM at Arizona State University, Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_socache_memcache: Pass expiration time through to memcached.
     [Faidon Liambotis <paravoid debian.org>, Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Use the actual URI path and query-string for identifying the
     cached entity (key), such that rewrites are taken into account when
     running afterwards (CacheQuickHandler off).  PR 21935.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2EarlyHints' to enable sending of HTTP status
     103 interim responses. Disabled by default. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_ssl: Fix quick renegotiation (OptRenegotiaton) with no intermediate
     in the client certificate chain.  PR 55786.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) event: Allow to use the whole allocated scoreboard (up to ServerLimit
     slots) to avoid scoreboard full errors when some processes are finishing
     gracefully. Also, make gracefully finishing processes close all
     keep-alive connections. PR 53555. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mpm_event: Don't take over scoreboard slots from gracefully finishing
     threads. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mpm_event: Free memory earlier when shutting down processes.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_status: Display the process slot number in the async connection
     overview. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_dir: Responses that go through "FallbackResource" might appear to
     hang due to unterminated chunked encoding. PR58292. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_dav: Fix a potential cause of unbounded memory usage or incorrect
     behavior in a routine that sends <DAV:response>'s to the output filters.
     [Evgeny Kotkov]

  *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushResource' to enable early pushes before 
     processing of the main request starts. Resources are announced to the 
     client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response. 
     All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and
     trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.
     'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher
     priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for
     processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical'
     is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable
     local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped
     as well. This makes reverse proxy mapping available for resources
     announced in this header. 
     With 103 interim responses being forwarded to the main client connection,
     this effectively allows early pushing of resources by a reverse proxied
     backend server. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for newly proposed 103 status code.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mpm_unix: Apache fails to start if previously crashed then restarted with
     the same PID (e.g. in container).  PR 60261.
     [Val <valentin.bremond gmail.com>, Yann Ylavic]

  *) Enforce http request grammer corresponding to RFC7230 for request lines
     and request headers [William Rowe, Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: New directive HttpProtocolOptions to control httpd enforcement
     of various RFC7230 requirements. [Stefan Fritsch, William Rowe]

  *) core: Permit unencoded ';' characters to appear in proxy requests and
     Location: response headers. Corresponds to modern browser behavior.
     [William Rowe]

  *) core: ap_rgetline_core now pulls from r->proto_input_filters.

  *) core: Correctly parse an IPv6 literal host specification in an absolute
     URL in the request line. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: New directive RegisterHttpMethod for registering non-standard
     HTTP methods. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_http2: unannounced and multiple interim responses (status code < 200)
     are parsed and forwarded to client until a final response arrives.
     [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_proxy_http2: improved robustness when main connection is closed early
     by resetting all ongoing streams against the backend.
     [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: allocators from slave connections are released earlier, resulting
     in less overall memory use on busy, long lived connections.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_remoteip: Pick up where we left off during a subrequest rather
     than running with the modified XFF but original TCP address.
     PR 49839/PR 60251

  *) http: Respond with "408 Request Timeout" when a timeout occurs while
     reading the request body.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_http2: connection shutdown revisited: corrected edge cases on
     shutting down ongoing streams, changed log warnings to be less noisy
     when waiting on long running tasks. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: changed all AP_DEBUG_ASSERT to ap_assert to have them 
     available also in normal deployments. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented
     up to the backend. Reused HTTP/2 proxy connections with more than a second
     not used will block request bodies until a PING answer is received.
     Requests headers are not delayed by this, since they are repeatable in
     case of failure. This greatly increases robustness, especially with
     busy server and/or low keepalive connections. [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed duplicate symbols with mod_http2.
     [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: rewrite of how responses and trailers are transferred between
     master and slave connection. Reduction of internal states for tasks
     and streams, stability. Heuristic id generation for slave connections
     to better keep promise of connection ids unique at given point int time.
     Fix for mod_cgid interop in high load situtations. 
     Fix for handling of incoming trailers when no request body is sent.
     [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) mod_http2: fix suspended handling for streams. Output could become
     blocked in rare cases. [Stefan Eissing]
  *) mpm_winnt: Prevent a denial of service when the 'data' AcceptFilter is in
     use by replacing it with the 'connect' filter. PR 59970. [Jacob Champion]

  *) mod_cgid: Resolve a case where a short CGI response causes a subsequent
     CGI to be killed prematurely, resulting in a truncated subsequent
     response. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Set health check URI and expression correctly for health
     check worker. PR 60038 [zdeno <zdeno@scnet.sk>]

  *) mod_http2: if configured with nghttp2 1.14.0 and onward, invalid request
     headers will immediately reset the stream with a PROTOCOL error. Feature
     logged by module on startup as 'INVHD' in info message.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: fixed handling of stream buffers during shutdown.
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_reqtimeout: Fix body timeout disabling for CONNECT requests to avoid
     triggering mod_proxy_connect's AH01018 once the tunnel is established.
     [Yann Ylavic]

  *) ab: Set the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension on outgoing TLS
     connections (unless -I is specified), according to the Host header (if
     any) or the requested URL's hostname otherwise.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: avoid loops when ProxyErrorOverride is enabled
     and the error documents are proxied. PR 55415. [Luca Toscano]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: read the whole FCGI response even when the content
     has not been modified (HTTP 304) or in case of a precondition failure
     (HTTP 412) to avoid subsequent bogus reads and confusing
     error messages logged. [Luca Toscano]

  *) mod_http2: h2 status resource follows latest draft, see
     http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-benfield-http2-debug-state-01.txt
     [Stefan Eissing]
     
  *) mod_http2: handling graceful shutdown gracefully, e.g. handling existing
     streams to the end. [Stefan Eissing]
  
  *) core: CVE-2016-5387: Mitigate [f]cgi "httpoxy" issues.
     [Dominic Scheirlinck <dominic vendhq.com>, Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_proxy_{http,ajp,fcgi}: don't reuse backend connections with data
     available before the request is sent.  PR 57832.  [Yann Ylavic]

     handles in responses. Necessary in order to fix broken lifetime handling
