CHANGES

  *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation
     of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used
     configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by
     just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between
     releases.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
     If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
     non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
     configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
     on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
     because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
     This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
     to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run
     via `apachectl configtest'.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2393
  
  *) Minor display fix for "install" target of top-level Makefile:
     the displayed installation command was incorrect although the
     executed command was correct. Now they are in sync.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2402

  *) Correct initialization of variable `allowed_globals' in http_main.c
     [Justin Bradford <justin@ukans.edu>] PR#2400

  *) Apache would incorrectly downcase the entire Content-Type passed from
     CGIs.  This affected server-push scripts and such which use
     multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=ThisRandomString.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#2394

  *) PORT: QNX update to properly guess 32-bit systems.
     [Sean Boudreau <seanb@qnx.com>] PR#2390

  *) Make sure the DSO emulation code for HPUX finds the proprietary shl_xxx()
     functions which are in libdld under HPUX 9/10.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2378

  *) Make sure the "install" target of the top-level Makefile doesn't break
     because of a return code of 1 from an "if" (for instance under braindead
     Ultrix the result code of an "if" construct is 1 if the "then" clause
     didn't match). [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add an additional "dummy" target to the "$(LIB)" target in generated
     modules/xxx/Makefile's to avoid problems with SVR4 Make under "full-DSO"
     situation (no libxxx.a built, only mod_xxx.so's) where LIB and OBJS are
     empty. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dean Gaudet, Martin Kraemer]

  *) Replace two bad sprintf() calls with ap_snprintf() variants in
     mod_rewrite. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix missing usage description for MetaFiles directive.
     [David MacKenzie <djm@va.pubnix.com>] PR#2384

  *) mod_log_config wouldn't let vhosts use log formats defined in the
     main server.  [Christof Damian <damian@mediaconsult.com>] PR#2090

  *) mod_usertrack was corrupting the client hostname.  As part of the
     fix, the cookie values were slightly extended to include the
     fully qualified hostname of the client.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#2190, 2229, 2366

  *) Fix a typo in pool debugging code.  [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria]

  *) mod_unique_id did not work on alpha linux (in general on any
     architecture that has 64-bit time_t).
     [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria]

  *) PORT: Make SCO 5 (and probably 3) compile again. [Ben Laurie]

  *) PORT: NCR MPRAS systems have the same bug with SIGHUP restart that
     Solaris systems experience.  So define WORKAROUND_SOLARIS_BUG.
     [Klaus Weber <kweber@chephren.germany.ncr.com>] PR#1973

  *) Change "Options None" to "Options FollowSymLinks" in the 
     <Directory /> section of the default access.conf-dist
     (and -win even though it doesn't matter there).  This has better
     performance, and more intuitive semantics.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: Updated support for UTS 2.1.2.
     [Dave Dykstra <dwd@bell-labs.com>] PR#2320

  *) Fix symbol export list (src/support/httpd.exp) after recent
     API changes in the child spawning area.
     [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum@helios.de>]

  *) Workaround for configure script and old `test' commands which do not
     support the -x flag (for instance under platforms like Ultrix). This is
     solved by another helper script findprg.sh which searches for Perl and
     Awk like PrintPath but _via different names_.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Remove the system() call from htpasswd.c, which eliminates a system
     dependancy.  ["M.D.Parker" <mdpc@netcom.com>] PR#2332

  *) PORT: Fix compilation failures on NEXTSTEP.
     [Rex Dieter <rdieter@math.unl.edu>] PR#2293, 2316

  *) PORT: F_NDELAY is a typo, should have been FNDELAY.  There's also
     O_NDELAY on various systems.  [Dave Dykstra <dwd@bell-labs.com>] PR#2313

  *) PORT: helpers/GuessOS updates for various versions for NCR SVR4.
     [juerg schreiner <j.schreiner@zh.ch>,
     Bill Houle <Bill.Houle@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM>] PR#2310

  *) Fix recently introduced Win32 child spawning code in mod_rewrite.c which
     was broken because of invalid ap_pstrcat() -> strcat() transformation.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Proxy Cache Fixes: account for directory sizes, fork off garbage collection
     to continue in background, use predefined types (off_t, size_t, time_t),
     log the current cache usage percentage at LogLevel debug
     [Martin Kraemer, based on discussion between Dean Gaudet & Dirk vanGulik]

Changes with Apache 1.3.0

  *) Using a type map file as a custom error document was not possible.
     [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#1031

  *) Avoid problems with braindead Awks by additionally searching for gawk 
     and nawk in APACI's configure script.
     [Dave Dykstra <dwd@bell-labs.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2319

  *) Rename md5.h to ap_md5.h to avoid conflicts with native MD5 on
     some systems. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Change usage of perror()+fprintf(stderr,...) in mod_rewrite to
     more proper ap_log_error() variants.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Make sure the argument for the --add-module option to APACI's configure
     script is of type [path/to/]mod_xxx.c because all calculations inside
     configure and src/Configure depend on this.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2307

  *) Changes usage of perror/fprintf to stderr to more proper ap_log_error
     in mod_mime, mod_log_referer, mod_log_agent, and mod_log_config.
     [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Various OS/2 cleanups ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au>]

  *) PORT: QNX needed a #include <sys/mman.h>; and now it uses flock
     serialized accept to handle multiple sockets.
     [Rob Saccoccio <robs@InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2295, 2296
 
  *) Have NT properly set the directory for CGI scripts 
     (& other spawned children)
     [W G Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>]

  *) Propagate environment to CGI scripts correctly in Win32.
     [W G Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#2294

  *) Some symbol renaming:
     ap_spawn_child_err became ap_spawn_child
     ap_spawn_child_err_buff became ap_bspawn_child
     spawn_child was obsoleted and moved to compat.h
     [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Upgrade the child spawning code in mod_rewrite for the RewriteMap
     programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses
     CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in
     the past under Win32).
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the
     generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
     was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
     proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
     purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
     was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
     its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
     cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
     The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
     was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made
     more informative. 
     [Martin Kraemer] PR#494, 1259

  *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"
     from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building
     ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed
     only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
     user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2288
  
  *) Renamed three more functions to common ap_ prefix which we missed at the
     Big Symbol Renaming because they're #defines and not real C functions:
     is_default_port(), default_port(), http_method().
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) A zero-length name after a $ in an SSI document should cause
     just the $ to be in the expansion.  This was broken during the
     security fixes in 1.2.5.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#1921, 2249

  *) Call ap_destroy_sub_req() in ap_add_cgi_vars() to reclaim some
     memory.  [Rob Saccoccio <robs@InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2252

  *) Fix src/support/httpd.exp (DSO export file which is currently only
     used under AIX) because of recent changes to function names.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

Changes with Apache 1.3b7

  *) Make sure a MIME-type can be forced via a RewriteRule even when no
     substitution takes place, for instance via the following rule:
     ``RewriteRule ^myscript$ - [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]'' This was often
     requested by users in the past to force a single script without a .cgi
     extension and outside any cgi-bin dirs to be executed as a CGI program.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2254

  *) A fix for protocol issues surrounding 400, 408, and
     414 responses. [Ed Korthof]

  *) Ignore MaxRequestsPerChild on WIN32. [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Fix discrepancy in proxy_ftp.c which was causing failures when 
     trying to connect to certain ftpd's, such as anonftpd.  
     [Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>]

  *) Make mod_rewrite use ap_open_piped_log() for RewriteLog directive's
     logfile instead of fiddling around itself with child spawning stuff.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Made RefererIgnore case-insensitive.

  *) Mod_log_agent, mod_log_referer now use ap_open_piped_log for piped logs.
     [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything
     "safe" under Win32.  In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c
     [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck <beck@bofh.ucs.ualberta.ca>]

  *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort
     of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2242

  *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed.
     [Ben Laurie] PR#2238

  *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C
     library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles
     instead of C file descriptors.
     [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#1129, 1607

  *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached
     file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching
     of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
     [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094

  *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
     is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
     somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
     provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
     variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
     reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
     building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
     provides for more control over the format of the Server:
     header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported;
     all module should use the ap_add_version_component()
     API function instead. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0
     [John Withers <withers@semi.kcsc.mwr.irs.gov>]

  *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
     not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]
 
  *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
     - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
     - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
       Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
     - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
       any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
       CFLAGS for SCO 5.
     - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
     - updated the dependencies theirself
     - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
     - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
       already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
       directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
       contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
     - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
     - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
       definitions
     - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
       of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
     - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
       existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
     - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
       with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
       is no longer needed.
     - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
       first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
     [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson@Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060

  *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
     and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
     device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
     we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
     [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]

  *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
     due to an unexpected signal.  (It requires a new porting define,
     SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
     descriptions of the signals available.  See PORTING.)  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment 
     like WIN32.  Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures 
     if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call 
     and a spawn in another thread.  So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts 
     in WIN32.  The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's 
     necessary.  Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo 
     or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process.  This temp fix was 
     necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release. 
     [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
     1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
        htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
        configure options.
     2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
        (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
        If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
        and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
     3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
        configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
        had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
        UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
     - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
       shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
     - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
     - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
       only when no shadow trees already exists
     - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
       when no more shadow trees exists
     - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
       as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
     - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
       Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
     AddVersionPlatform core directive.  The first allows modules to
     declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
     augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
     with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
     AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
     into the server version string.  [Ken Coar] PR#2056

  *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
     [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464

  *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
     to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
     are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
     1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
        and not the original statically list from modules.c
     2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
        later use by the AddModule command.
     3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
        target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
        this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
        confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
     4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
        target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
        via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
     5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
        is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
     6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
        comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
        of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
        the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
     This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
     statically and dynamically linked modules.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the
     Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command
     handler.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other 
     places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT).  PR#1551

  *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
     zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>]
     PR#754

  *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature 
     feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing  
     r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name().  And I changed some 
     functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead, 
     because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.
     [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline.  Worth
     1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c
     when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski,
     Brian Behlendorf]

  *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize
     the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts
     would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole
     absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done
     in unix. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in
     the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there)
     and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting.
     [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch]

  *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with
     a URI, not a filename, so the check for drive letters for win32 
     and emx is not necessary. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) WIN32: Allow .cmd as an executable extension.
     [Kari Likovuori <Kari.Likovuori@mol.fi>] PR#2146

  *) Make Apache header files, and some variables, C++ friendly.
     [Michael Anderson's <mka@redes.int.com.mx>]

  *) Child processes can now "signal" (by exiting with a status
     of APEXIT_CHILDFATAL) the parent process to abort and
     shutdown the server if the error in the child process was
     fatal enough. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_autoindex's find_itme() was sensitive to MIME type case.
     [Jim Jagielski] PR#2112

  *) Make sure the referer_log and agent_log entries in the default httpd.conf
     file are also adjusted for the actual relative installation paths.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2175

  *) WIN32: Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. [Ben Laurie]

  *) WIN32: Make roots of filesystems (e.g. c:/) work. [Ben Laurie]
     PR#1558

  *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3.
     Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
     from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
     mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
     vendor functions itself.
     [Jens-Uwe Mager, Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
     [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165

  *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
     [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158

  *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
     AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
     accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
     which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]
  
  *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
     that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
     is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
     whether errno is set or not.  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
     of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
     maintainers from RedHat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
     little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
     provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
     --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
     --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
     side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
     by package authors.  This way we are even more friendly to package
     maintainers (especially Debian and RedHat) who build for the real prefix
     via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
     "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
     the target location on their system. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now
     substituting in chunks of 50 commands (because for instance HPUX's vendor
     sed has a limit of max. 98 commands)
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2136

  *) Adding SOCKS5 support and fixing existing SOCKS4 support.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2140

  *) Manually fix some symbols which were not renamed to prefix ap_ in the BIG
     RENAMING process because they are defined as pre-processor macros instead
     of real functions: bputc, bgetc, piped_log_write_fd, piped_log_read_fd
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Workaround braindead AWK's when generating ap_config.h: The split() and
     substr() functions cannot be nested under vendor AWK from Solaris 2.6.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2139

  *) Various bugfixes and cleanups for the APACI configure script:
     o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation
     o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one
     o fix DSO consistency check
     o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout
     o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub
     o reduce complexity by avoiding sed-hacks for rule and module list loops
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix DEBUG_CGI situation in mod_cgi.c [David MacKenzie] PR#2114

  *) Make sure the input field separator (IFS) shell variable is explicitly
     initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after
     the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
     `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
     customize these for own MIME and content types.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for OpenBSD 2.x
     [Peter Galbavy, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2109

  *) Fix the path to the ScoreBoardFile in the install-config target, too.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105

  *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell
     variables) to avoid side-effects in "src/Configure" when the user
     exported them (which is not needed, but some users do it). 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2101

  *) Provide backward compatibility from some old src/Configuration.tmpl
     parameter names to the canonical Autoconf-style shell variable names. For
     instance CFLAGS vs. EXTRA_CFLAGS. The EXTRA_xxx variants are accepted now
     but a hint message is displayed. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
  
  *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the DocumentRoot and
     CGI scripts from an existing Apache installation. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall, Jim Jagielski] PR#2084

  *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first 
     let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and
     second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not
     appended to sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir when
     --compat is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) NeXT required strdup() in support/logresolve.c

  *) Fix the path to the MimeMagicFile in the install-config target, too.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089

  *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson <jaearick@colby.edu>]

  *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
     out the parsed vhost settings.  This is useful for folks trying
     to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
     (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
     ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf).  See include/ap.h for docs.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
     --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
     --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
     to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
     to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
     ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
     message before handling it.  This catches things such as trying 
     to use SSIs without mod_include enabled.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
     stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]
    
  *) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too
     long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile
     [Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory
     /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used.  [Lars Eilebrecht]
   
Changes with Apache 1.3b6

  *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX.  [Ben Hyde]
 
  *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
     interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
     calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
     APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
     Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
     To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
     we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
     functions:
        - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
        - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
        - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
          cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
     For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
     created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
     by third-party module authors.
     [The Apache Group]

  *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
     problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
     to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
     available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
     dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
     httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
     Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
     This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
     to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
     user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
     automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
     hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
     this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
     essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
     manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
     where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
     features like graceful upgrades, or whatever. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]

  *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]

  *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
     inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
     conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
     "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
     process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
     source tree as it was for distribution.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
     the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
     initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
     variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
     prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
     This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
     user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
     [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr@mixi.net>] PR#2045

  *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of
     indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also
     remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
     to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
     since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]

  *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
 
  *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
     experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
     an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
     prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
     specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
     manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
     the -I option.  Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
     on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
     installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
     the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
     for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
     warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
     the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
     and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
     Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
     a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
     installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
     dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
     this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree.  The
     (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
     Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
     (SBINDIR/apxs).  The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
     module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
     tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
     dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
     modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
     which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
     on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
     first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
     APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.  
     [Rainer.Scherg@rexroth.de] PR#1326, #1573, #1942

  *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
     so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
     [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
     the Apache distribution tree.  Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
     out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
     complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
     script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file.  The goal is
     to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
     the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the
     package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old
     configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
     customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe.
     Had to remove the HAVE_CVT macro in order to do threadsafe
     calling of the ?cvt() floating point routines.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: Add the SCO_SV port. [Jim Jagielski] PR#1962

  *) PORT: IRIX needs the -n32 flag iff using the 'cc' compiler
     [Jim Jagielski] PR#1901

  *) BUG: Configure was using TCC and CC inconsistently. Make sure
     Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
     was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]

  *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
     a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
     routines.  Use this to replace http_bprintf.c.  Add new routines
     psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
     required for a string from a pool.  Use psprintf() to clean up
     various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer.  This is because
     ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
     snprintf().  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time.  This
     is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
     are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
     maintained across exec().
     [Rein Tollevik <reint@sys.sol.no>] PR#2009

  *) Fix the check for symbolic links in ``RewriteCond ... -l'': stat() was
     used instead of lstat() and thus this flag didn't work as expected.
     [Rein Tollevik <reint@sys.sol.no>] PR#2010

  *) Fix the proxy pass-through feature of mod_rewrite for the case of
     existing QUERY_STRING now that mod_proxy was recently changed because of
     the new URL parsing stuff. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) A few changes to scoreboard definitions which helps gcc generate
     better code.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) ANSI C doesn't guarantee that "int foo : 2" in a structure will
     be a signed bitfield.  So mark a few bitfields as signed to
     ensure correct code.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) The default for HostnameLookups was changed to Off, but there
     was a problem and it wasn't taking effect. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: Clean up undefined signals on some platforms (SCO, BeOS).
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) After a SIGHUP the listening sockets in the parent weren't
     properly marked for closure on fork().
     [Jürgen Keil <jk@tools.de>] PR#2000
 
  *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
     therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
     is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
     Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with
     %2f in them (occurs quite often in
     http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Make the shared object compilation command more portable by avoiding
     the direct combination of `-c' & `-o' which is not honored by some
     compilers like UnixWare's cc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) WIN32: the proxy was creating filenames missing the last four
     characters.  While this normally doesn't stop anything from 
     working, it can result in extra collisions.  
     [Tim Costello <tjcostel@socs.uts.edu.au>] PR#1890

  *) Now mod_proxy uses the response string (in addition to the response status
     code) from the already used FTP SIZE command to setup the Content-Length
     header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183

  *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive:
     Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old
     name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to
     the mod_proxy.html and corrected the hyperlink to it in the
     new_features_1.3.html document.  [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1348

  *) Fix a bug in the src/helpers/fp2rp script and make it a little bit
     faster [Martin Kraemer]
  
  *) Make Configure die when you give it an unknown command switch.
     [Ben Hyde]

  *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1,
     suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8.  Now all up-to-date
     and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
     document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
     Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
     Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
     INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
     generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
     information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
     the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
     verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
     added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
     
  *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
     from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the
     response performance of an Apache installation. This version is
     officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement
     statements in <199803171224.NAA24547@en1.engelschall.com> in apache-core.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) API: Various core functions that are definately not part of the API
     have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT.  Still
     more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general
     use by modules.  [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_proxy was not clearing the Proxy-Connection header from
     requests; now it does.  This did not violate any spec, however 
     causes poor interactions when you are talking to remote proxies.  
     [Marc Slemko] PR#1741

  *) Various cleanups to the command line interface and manual pages.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) cfg_getline() was not properly handling lines that did not end
     with a line termination character.  [Marc Slemko] PR#1869, 1909

  *) Performance tweak to mod_log_config.  [Dmitry Khrustalev]

  *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to
     "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header
     and regex.  Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in
     the order they appear in the config file.  Optimize mod_setenvif by
     doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
     to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
     warnings [Jim Jagielski]

  *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
     mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
     checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
     HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
     checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
     from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
     the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
     especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
     be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source
     and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they
     end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems
     that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified 
     port is in the appropriate range.  [Ben Hyde]

  *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
     [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>]

  *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
     (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
     ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
     modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
     building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
     least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
     content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec.  They
     must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
     be modified (you must copy them to modify them).  Fix a few bugs
     related to this.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
     treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable.  There
     is no need to pstrdup() them.  Clean up some needless pstrdup().
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
     are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
     error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
     environment variable in the apache core.  But that tweaking interferes
     with mod_setenv.  So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit
     TZ variable.  [Jay Soffian <jay@cimedia.com>] PR#1888

  *) rputs() did not calculate r->sent_bodyct properly.
     [Siegmund Stirnweiss <siegst@kat.ina.de>] PR#1900

  *) The CGI spec says that REMOTE_HOST should be set to the remote hosts's
     name, or left unset if this value is unavailable.  Apache was setting
     it to the IP address when unavailable.
     [Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>] PR#1925

  *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling
     modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and
     OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added.  This way shared
     object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux,
     Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms!
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap"
     scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD
     and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
     mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
     files, not file descriptors.  That is, file descriptors duplicated
     through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
     but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
     lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
     parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
     RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
     the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
     hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029

  *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics.  LocationMatch no
     longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
     URL.  This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
     AliasMatch.  Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
     not have in (some) filesystems.  Location on the other hand can
     be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
     does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
     also consistent with the Alias directive.
