fields given "ALL_HTTP" or "ALL_RAW". PR 20656.
[Jesse Pelton <jsp pkc.com>]

[Michael Corcoran <mcorcoran warpsolutions.com>]
*) core_output_filter: Fix bug that could result in sending
garbage over the network when module handlers construct
bucket brigades containing multiple file buckets all referencing
the same open file descriptor. [Bojan Smojver]
*) 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]
*) 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]
*) SECURITY: CAN-2004-0174 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived
connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a
child to hold the accept mutex and block out new connections until
another connection arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket.
With Apache 2.x there is no performance concern about enabling the
logic for platforms which don't need it, so it is enabled everywhere
except for Win32. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_cgid: Fix storage corruption caused by use of incorrect pool.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: find_read_listeners was not correctly handling multiple
listeners on the Win32DisableAcceptEx path. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Fix bug in mod_usertrack when no CookieName is set. PR 24483.
[Manni Wood <manniwood planet-save.com>]
*) Fix some piped log problems: bogus "piped log program '(null)'
failed" messages during restart and problem with the logger
respawning again after Apache is stopped. PR 21648, PR 24805.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed file extensions for real media files and removed rpm extension
from mime.types. PR 26079. [Allan Sandfeld <kde carewolf.com>]

MPMs. PR 25520. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix mod_include's expression parser to recognize strings correctly
even if they start with an escaped token. [André Malo]
*) Add fatal exception hook for use by diagnostic modules. The hook
is only available if the --enable-exception-hook configure parm
is used and the EnableExceptionHook directive has been set to
"on". [Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow mod_auth_digest to work with sub-requests with different
methods than the original request. PR 25040.

instead of mmn. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Catch an edge case, where strange subsequent RewriteRules
could lead to a 400 (Bad Request) response. [André Malo]
*) Keep focus of ITERATE and ITERATE2 on the current module when
the module chooses to return DECLINE_CMD for the directive.
PR 22299. [Geoffrey Young <geoff apache.org>]
*) Add support for IMT minor-type wildcards (e.g., text/*) to
ExpiresByType. PR#7991 [Ken Coar]
*) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache cache_insert() due to cache size
becoming negative. PR: 21285, 21287
[Bill Stoddard, Massimo Torquati, Jean-Jacques Clar]
*) core.c: If large file support is enabled, allow any file that is
greater than AP_MAX_SENDFILE to be split into multiple buckets.
This allows Apache to send files that are greater than 2gig.
Otherwise we run into 32/64 bit type mismatches in the file size.
[Brad Nicholes]
*) proxy_http fix: mod_proxy hangs when both KeepAlive and
ProxyErrorOverride are enabled, and a non-200 response without a
body is generated by the backend server. (e.g.: a client makes a
request containing the "If-Modified-Since" and "If-None-Match"
headers, to which the backend server respond with status 304.)

PR 26002. [Scott Moore <apache nopdesign.com>]
*) worker MPM: fix stack overlay bug that could cause the parent
process to crash. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: Add Win32DisableAcceptEx directive. This Windows
NT/2000/CP directive is useful to work around bugs in some
third party layered service providers like virus scanners,
VPN and firewall products, that do not properly handle
WinSock 2 APIs. Use this directive if your server is issuing
AcceptEx failed messages.

a newline now cause a lookup failure. PR 14453.
[Cedric Gavage <cedric.gavage unixtech.be>, André Malo]
*) Backport major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser from 2.1.
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.
The 2.1 external API changes were hidden by a wrapper which is
expected to keep the API backwards compatible. [André Malo]
*) Add a hook (insert_error_filter) to allow filters to re-insert
themselves during processing of error responses. Enable mod_expires
to use the new hook to include Expires headers in valid error
responses. This addresses an RFC violation. It fixes PRs 19794,
24884, and 25123. [Paul J. Reder]
*) Add Polish translation of error messages. PR 25101.
[Tomasz Kepczynski <tomek jot23.org>]

Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog. Unescaped

fixed a number of other cache code bugs related to PR 15852.
Includes a patch submitted by Sushma Rai <rsushma novell.com>.
This fixes mod_mem_cache but not mod_disk_cache yet so I'm not
