  *) httpd.conf: Added configuration directives to set a bad_DNT environment
     variable based on User-Agent and to remove the DNT header field from

     removing DNT from requests by MSIE 10.0 because it deliberately violates
     the current specification of DNT semantics for HTTP. [Roy T. Fielding]

     one connection. PR 52275. [Naohiro Ooiwa <naohiro ooiwa miraclelinux com>]

     recovered when using lbmethod_bybusyness.  PR 48735.  [Jeff Trawick]

     implementation.  [Ruediger Pluem, Joe Orton]

  *) mod_proxy_connect: Avoid DNS lookup on hostname from request URI 
     if ProxyRemote* is configured.  PR 43697.  [Joe Orton]

     try to use the standard dlopen() search path. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mpm_event, mpm_worker: Fix cases where the spawn rate wasn't reduced
     after child process resource shortages.  [Jeff Trawick]
