As with 1.3, for proxy requests any such field is from the origin
server; otherwise it will have our server info as controlled by
the ServerTokens directive. [Jeff Trawick]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0192 (cve.mitre.org)
Fixed a bug whereby certain sequences of per-directory
renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite directive being used to
upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one could result in
the weak ciphersuite being used in place of the strong one.

*) Enable ap_sock_disable_nagle for Windows. This along with the

*) 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,

*) If a Date response header was already set in the headers array,
this value was ignored in favour of the current time. This meant

Close a Denial of Service vulnerability identified by David
