Changes with Apache 2.0.44

  *) 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>]

  *) Restored the experimental leader/followers MPM to working
     condition and converted its thread synchronization from
     mutexes to atomic CAS.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Fix Logic on non-html file removal in mod_deflate
     [Kris Verbeeck <Kris.Verbeeck@ubizen.com>]

     [Leon Brocard <acme@astray.com>]

  *) mod_rewrite can now sets cookies in err_headers, uses the correct

     [Ian Holsman / Rob Cromwell <apachechangelog@robcromwell.com>]

  *) The content-length filter no longer tries to buffer up
     the entire output of a long-running request before sending
     anything to the client.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Win32: Lower the default stack size from 1MB to 256K. This will
     allow around 8000 threads to be started per child process. 
     'EDITBIN /STACK:size apache.exe' can be used to change this 
     value directly in the apache.exe executable.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) Win32: Implement ThreadLimit directive in the Windows MPM.

  *) Remove CacheOn config directive since it is set but never checked.
     No sense wasting cycles on unused code. Besides, the only truly
     bug free code is deleted code. :)   [Paul J. Reder]

  *) BufferLogs are now run-time enabled, and the log_config now has 2 new
     callbacks to allow a 3rd party module to actually do the writing of the
     log file [Ian Holsman]

  *) Correct ISAPIReadAheadBuffer to default to 49152, per mod_isapi docs.
     [André Malo, Astrid Keßler <kess@kess-net.de>]

  *) Fix Segfault in mod_cache. [Kris Verbeeck <Kris.Verbeeck@ubizen.com>]

  *) Fix a null pointer dereference in the merge_env_dir_configs
     function of the mod_env module. PR 11791
     [Paul J. Reder]

  *) New option to ServerTokens 'maj[or]'. Only show the major version
     Also Surfaced this directive in the standard config (default FULL)
     [Ian Holsman]

  *) Change mod_rewrite to use apr-util's dbm support for dbm rewrite
     maps.  The dbm type (e.g., ndbm, gdbm) can be specified on the
     RewriteMap directive.  PR 10644  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Fixed mod_rewrite's RewriteMap prg: support so that request/response
     pairs will no longer get out of sync with each other.  PR 9534
