Changes with Apache 2.0.25-dev
*) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
[Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
.html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
[William Rowe]
*) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
[William Rowe]
*) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
the code to check the return code from the macro and
*) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
*) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
[William Rowe]
*) Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
[Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
*) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c.
[William Rowe]
*) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter
if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler.
This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier
to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3
config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP
to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom]
*) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always
get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks
[Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>,
Geoff Thorpe <geoff@geoffthorpe.net>]
*) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also
cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using
pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
*) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock
for mod_ssl
[Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
*) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error
codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the
include handler return code wasn't being checked.
I don't like macros with returns, so I converted
SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function.
[Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
*) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured
[John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
*) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time
[Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
*) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no
associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for
a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick]
*) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy
of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the
call to ap_log_pid solves the problem.
*) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the
status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more
common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe]
*) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets
(similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error
messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe]
*) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard]
*) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap
configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf
[Graham Leggett]
*) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache.
Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds
not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP
module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett]
*) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now
cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include
patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate
more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed.
[Paul Reder]
*) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap.
[Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
*) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap.
[Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
*) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest
by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not
met. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at
offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is
reached. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line
builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions.
Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users.
[William Rowe]
*) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better
reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the
default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe]
*) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm
compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites.
[Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>, William Rowe]
*) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20.
[William Rowe, Greg Ames]
*) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage
and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe]
*) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server
processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and
using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this
combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server
processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security
issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
*) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries
(including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe]
*) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time.
[Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
*) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax
for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive
allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or
RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the
setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006,
5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar]
*) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c
are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards
in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU
make). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
