Changes with Apache 2.1.0-dev

  [Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
  *) Fix memory corruption problem with ap_custom_response() function.
     The core per-dir config would later point to request pool data
     that would be reused for different purposes on different requests.
     [Jeff Trawick, based on an old 1.3 patch submitted by Will Lowe]

  *) work around MSIE Digest auth bug - if AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack
     is set in r->subprocess_env allow mismatched query strings to pass.
     PR 27758.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>, Geoffrey Young]

  *) logresolve: Allow size of log line buffer to be overridden at
     build time (MAXLINE).  PR 27793.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Fix crash when Apache was started with no Listen directives.
     [Michael Corcoran <mcorcoran warpsolutions.com>]

  *) mod_dav: Fix a problem that could cause crashes when manipulating 
     locks on some platforms.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Satisfy directives now can be influenced by a surrounding <Limit>
     container.  PR 14726.  [André Malo]

  *) htpasswd: use apr_temp_dir_get() and general cleanup
     [Guenter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>, Thom May]

  *) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
     "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured.  PR 20183.
     [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]

  *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize 
     directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread 
     stack size for threads which handle client connections.  Required 
     for some third-party modules on platforms with small default 
     thread stack size.  [Jeff Trawick]
  *) Win32: Tweak worker thread accounting routines to eliminate
     server hang when number of Listen directives in httpd.conf
     is greater than or equal to the setting of ThreadsPerChild.
     [Bill Stoddard]

  *) mod_rewrite: Support for recognizing SSL variables in RewriteCond
     using the new "SSL:" format.  [Joe Orton, Madhusudan Mathihalli]

  *) mod_setenvif: Remove "support" for Remote_User variable which
     never worked at all. PR 25725.  [André Malo]

  *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync.  mod_auth_basic
     now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
     and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
     AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
     [Geoffrey Young]

  *) mod_isapi: GetServerVariable returned improperly terminated header 
     fields given "ALL_HTTP" or "ALL_RAW".  PR 20656.
     [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

  *) mod_isapi: send_response_header() failed to copy status string's 
     last character.  PR 20619.  [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

  *) mod_isapi: GetServerVariable("ALL_RAW") returned the wrong buffer
     size.  PR 20617.  [Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]
  *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
     the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
     [Apache Software Foundation]

  *) FreeBSD: Use the httpready accept filter instead of dataready on
     newer levels of the OS.  [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

  *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during 
     "make clean" processing.  PR 26552.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Unix MPMs: Stop dropping connections when the file descriptor
     is at least FD_SETSIZE.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
     accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
     as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
     rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
     mode. PR 25635.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
     the [handler=...] flag.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
     true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
     [André Malo]

  *) Allow proxying of resources that are invoked via DirectoryIndex.
     PR 14648.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow proxying and RewriteRules in directory context
     for subrequests.  PR 14648, 15114.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow setting of any valid HTTP response code.
     PR 25917.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Cookie creation now works locale independent.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for distributed session cache using 'distcache'.

  *) mod_dav: Disallow requests with an unescaped hash character in

  *) Add forensic logging module (mod_log_forensic).
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) mod_proxy with ProxyErrorOverride On in a reverse-proxy configuration attaches
     a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header. 
     PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]

  *) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
     header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
     redirects.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>' 
     in the initial container.  PR 25414. 
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) Clean up httpd -V output: Instead of displaying the MPM source
     directory, display the MPM name and some MPM properties.
     [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]

  *) mod_ssl/mod_status: Re-enable support for output of SSL session
     cache information in server-status page.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Remove the shmht session cache, shmcb should be used
     instead.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_logio: Account for some bytes handed to the network layer prior to
     dropped connections.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_autoindex: new directive IndexStyleSheet 
    [Tyler Riddle <triddle_1999 yahoo.com>, Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]

     [Chris Knight <Christopher.D.Knight nasa.gov>]
  *) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid 
     filesystem name are rejected with 403.  [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Switch to APR 1.0 API.

  *) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
     is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases

     that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
     incompatible change of mod_include's external API.  [André Malo]
  *) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
     PR 14223.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
     the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
     strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493.  [André Malo]

  *) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is
     not specified.  [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.

  *) Fix a link failure in mod_ssl when the OpenSSL libraries contain
     the ENGINE functions but the engine header files are missing.
     [Cliff Woolley]

  *) mod_rewrite: RewriteRules in server context using the force
     type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
     hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
     the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable.  [André Malo]

  *) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
     which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
     [André Malo]

  *) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular
     location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.
