differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
*) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
*) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
provided through the TOP variable, too.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>]
*) Fix negotiation so that a Vary response header is correctly
generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary
in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton]
*) Fix negotiation so that we prefer an encoded variant over an
unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can
accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded
variant.
[Paul Ausbeck <paula@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>, Paul Sutton] PR#3447
*) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized
and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
*) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
<Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
PR#1180
*) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.
[Ralf Engelschall, Randy Terbush]
*) mod_include.c:handle_perl() now properly tests for OPT_INCNOEXEC
rather than OPT_INCLUDES [Rainer Schoepf <schoepf@uni-mainz.de>]
*) ap_md5_binary() was using sprintf() rather than a table lookup
to convert binary bytes to hex digits.
[Ronald Tschalär <ronald@innovation.ch>] PR#3409
*) Fix SEGV in TCN negotiation if no variants are acceptable.
[Martin Plechsmid <plechsmi@karlin.mff.cuni.cz>] PR#1987
*) API: ap_exists_config_define() function is now "public" [Doug MacEachern]
*) Fix documentation of `Action' directive: It can activate a CGI script
when either a handler or a MIME content type is triggered by the request.
[Andrew Pimlott <pimlott@math.harvard.edu>] PR#3340
*) Document the `add' command of `dbmmanage' in `dbmmanage.1' manpage.
[David MacKenzie <djm@uu.net>] PR#3394
*) Ignore a "ErrorDocument 401" directive with a full URL and write a
notice to the error log. It is not possible to send a 401 response
and a redirect at the same time. [Lars Eilebrecht]
*) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all

*) Add APACI --suexec-docroot and --suexec-logfile options which can be
used to set the document root directory (DOC_ROOT) and the suexec
logfile (LOG_EXEC), respectively. Additionally the --layout option
was changed to show more information about the suEXEC setup.

*) Added the last two WebDAV status codes of 424 (Failed Dependency)
and 507 (Insufficient Storage) for use by third-party modules.
[Roy Fielding]
*) Enabled all of the WebDAV method names for use by third-party
modules, Limit, and Script directives. That includes PATCH,
PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK.
Improved mod_actions.c so that it can use any of the methods

*) Disable sending of error-notes on a 500 (Internal Server Error) response
since it often includes file path info. Enable sending of error-notes
on a 501 (Method Not Implemented). [Roy Fielding] PR#3173
*) http_config.c would respond with 501 (Method Not Implemented) if a
content type handler was specified but could not be found, which
should have been a 500 response. Likewise, mod_proxy.c would responsd
with a 501 if the URI scheme is unrecognized instead of the correct
response of 403 (Forbidden). [Roy Fielding]
*) SECURITY: Eliminate DoS attack when a bad URI path contains what
looks like a printf format escape. [Marc Slemko, Studenten Net Twente]
*) Fix in mod_autoindex: for files where the last modified time stamp was
unavailable, an empty string was printed which was 2 bytes short.
The size and description columns were therefore not aligned correctly.

on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END
which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

Changes with Apache 1.3.3
*) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue
response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]
*) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]
*) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and
HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the
WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any
of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules.

*) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version
strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard]
*) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C
pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to
determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
existance of the file under /usr/include, too.

best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969
*) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf()
functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
"%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
(instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941
*) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727
*) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]
*) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of
content is if you are using a modification date based setting.
[Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips <paulp@go2net.com>]

text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts.

width of the filename column is customisable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
PR#1949, 2324.
*) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under
SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho <drc@ppt.com>]
*) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914
*) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
(enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
[Martin Kraemer]
*) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
them out. [Ken Coar]
*) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
parsed_uri stuff.
+ Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
starting directory might send us to /home/).
+ When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
already offered.
[Martin Kraemer]
*) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
"HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.
[Martin Kraemer] PR#2914

needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)

various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line

[Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO
files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries).
This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is
disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.

`search' entries in /etc/resolv.conf.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2710
*) Add note about the SHARED_CORE requirement on some platforms also to the
INSTALL file because a lot of users don't read htdocs/manual/dso.html
first. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2701
*) Fix document "hyperlink" for dso.html in src/Configuration.tmpl
[Knut A.Syed <Knut.Syed@nhh.no>] PR#2674
*) Modify mod_rewrite to update the Vary response field if the URL rewriting
engine does any manipulations or decisions based upon request fields.
[Ken Coar] PR#1644
*) Document the special APACI behavior for installation paths where
``/apache'' is appended to paths under some (well defined, of course)
situations to prevent pollution of system locations with Apache files.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2660
*) Fixed problem with buffered response message not being sent for
the read_request error conditions of URI-too-long (414) and
malformed header fields (400). [Roy Fielding] PR#2646
*) Add support for the Max-Forwards: header line required by RFC2068 for
the TRACE method. This allows apache to TRACE along a chain of proxies
up to a predetermined depth. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Fix SHARED_CORE rule: The CFLAGS_SHLIB variable is no longer doubled
(compilers complained) and the .so.V.R.P filename extension was adjusted
to correctly reflect the 1.3.2 version.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2644
*) SECURITY: Plug "..." and other canonicalization holes under OS/2.
[Brian Havard]
*) PORT: implement serialized accepts for OS/2. [Brian Havard]
*) mod_include had problems with the fsize and flastmod directives
under WIN32. Fix also avoids the minor security hole of using
".." paths for fsize and flastmod.
[Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2355
*) Fixed some Makefile dependency problems. [Dean Gaudet]
Changes with Apache 1.3.1
*) Disable the incorrect entry for application/msword in the
mod_mime_magic "magic" file because it also matches other Office
documents. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2608
*) Fix broken RANLIB handling in src/Configure (the entry from
src/Configuration.tmpl was ignored) and additionally force RANLIB to
/bin/true under HP/UX where ranlib exists but is deprecated.
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2627
*) 'apachectl status' failed on some systems.
[Steve VanDevender <stevev@darkwing.uoregon.edu>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#2613
*) Add new flags for ap_unparse_uri_components() to make it generate
the scheme://sitepart string only, or to omit the query string.
[Martin Kraemer]
*) WIN32: Canonicalize ServerRoot before checking to see if it
is a valid directory. The failure to do this caused certain
ServerRoot settings (eg. "ServerRoot /apache") to be improperly
rejected. [Marc Slemko]
*) Global renaming of C header files to both get rid of conflicts with third
party packages and to again reach consistency:
1. conf.h -> ap_config.h
2. conf_auto.h -> ap_config_auto.h \ these are now merged
3. ap_config.h -> ap_config_auto.h / in the config process
4. compat.h -> ap_compat.h
5. apctype.h -> ap_ctype.h
Backward compatibility files for conf.h and compat.h were created.
*) mod_mmap_static will no longer take action on requests unless at
least one "mmapfile" directive is present in the configuration.
This experimental module has to do some black magic to operate
inside the current API and thus creates side-effects for other
modules under some circumstances.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add conservative ticks around more egrep arguments in top-level configure
to avoid problems under brain-dead platforms like Digital UNIX (OSF1).
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2596
*) mod_rewrite created RewriteLock files under the UID of the parent
process, thus the child processes had no write access to the files.
Now a chown() is done on the file to the uid of the children,
if applicable. [Lars Eilebrecht, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2341
*) Autogenerate some HAVE_XXXXX_H defines in conf_auto.h (determined via
TestCompile) instead of defining them manually in conf.h based on less
accurate platform definitions. This way we no longer have to fiddle with
OS-type and/or OS-version identifiers to discover whether a system header
file exists or not. Instead we now directly check for the existence of
those esoteric ones.

PR#2524, PR#2525, PR#2533, PR#2569
*) mod_setenvif (BrowserMatch* and friends) will now match a missing
field with "^$". [Ken Coar]
*) Set the RTLD_GLOBAL dlopen mode parameter to allow dynamically loaded
modules to load their own modules dynamically. This improves mod_perl
and mod_php3 when these modules are loaded dynamically into Apache.
[Rasmus Lerdorf]
*) Cache a proxied request in the event that the client cancels the
transfer, provided that the configured percentage of the file has
already been transfered. It works for HTTP transfers only. The
new configuration directive is called CacheForceCompletion.
[Glen Parker <glenebob@nwlink.com>] PR#2277
*) Add the "<!DOCTYPE HTML" magic cookie used by modern documents (and
required by HTML 3.2 and later) to mod_mime_magic's conf/magic.
[Anna Shergold <anna@inext.co.uk>]
*) Fix yet another signal-based race condition involving nested timers.
Signals suck. [Dean Gaudet]
*) suexec's error messages have been clarified a little bit. [Ken Coar]
*) Clean up some, but perhaps not all, 8-bit character set problems
with config file parsing, and URL parsing. We now define
ap_isdigit(), ap_isupper(), ... which cast to an (unsigned char).
This should work on most modern unixes.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#800, 2282, 2553 (and others)
*) The "handler not found" error was issued in cases where the handler
really did exist, but was just declining to serve the request.
[John Van Essen <jve@gamers.org>] PR#2529
*) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for SCO5 (OpenServer 5.0.x).
[Ronald Record <rr@sco.com>] PR#2533
*) The APACI libexecdir was not extended with an "apache/" subdir
if the installation prefix didn't already contain "apache", but
it should be because the DSO files are Apache-specific. Now
libexecdir is treated the same way sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir
and includedir are already treated.
[Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>] PR#2551
*) The <Limit> parsing routine was incorrectly treating methods as
case-insensitive. [Ken Coar]
*) The ap_bprintf() code neglected to test if there was an error on
the connection. ap_bflush() misdiagnosed a failure as a success.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) add support for #perl arg interpolation in mod_include
[Doug MacEachern]
*) API: Name changes of table_elts to ap_table_elts, is_table_empty
to ap_is_table_empty and bgetflag to ap_bgetflag. [Ben Laurie]
*) PORT: Add UnixWare 7 support
[Vadim Kostoglodoff <vadim@olly.ru>] PR#2463
*) Fix the Guess-DSO-flags-from-Perl stuff in src/Configure: "perl" was
used instead of "$PERL" which contains the correctly determined Perl
interpreter (important for instance on systems where "perl" and "perl5"
exists, like BSDI or FreeBSD, etc).
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2505
*) Move the initial suEXEC-related startup message from plain
fprintf()/stderr to a delayed ap_log_error()-based one to avoid problems
when Apache is started from inetd (instead of standalone). Under this
situation startup messages on stderr lead to problems (the line is sent
to the client in front of the requested document).
[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#871, PR#1318
*) Add a flag so ap_fnmatch() can be used for case-blind pattern matching.
[Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
*) WIN32: Don't collapse multiple slashes in PATH_INFO.
[Ben Laurie, Bill Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#2274
*) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate trailing "."s in path components. These are
ignored by the Windows filesystem, and so can be used to bypass security.
[Ben Laurie, Alexei Kosut].
*) We now attempt to dump core when we get SIGILL. [Jim Jagielski]
*) PORT: remove broken test for MAP_FILE in http_main.c.
[Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>]
*) PORT: Change support/apachectl to use "kill -0 $pid" to test if the
httpd is running. This should be more portable than figuring out
which of three dozen different versions of "ps" are installed.
[a cast of dozens]
*) WIN32: If we can't figure out how to execute a file in a script
directory, bail out of the request with an error message. [W G Stoddard]
*) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate directories consisting of three or more dots;
these are treated by Win32 as if they are ".." but are not detected by
other machinery within Apache. This is something of a kludge but
eliminates a security hole. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ben Laurie]
*) Move ap_escape_quotes() from src/ap to src/main/util.c; it uses
pools and thus pollutes libap (until the pool stuff is moved there).
[Ken Coar]
*) IndexIgnore should be case-blind on Win32 (and any other case-aware
but case-insensitive platforms). New #define for this added to conf.h
(CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM). [Ken Coar] PR#2455
*) Enable DSO support for OpenBSD in general, not only for 2.x, because it
also works for OpenBSD 1.x. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) PORT: Fix compilation problem on ARM Linux.
[Sam Kington <sam@illuminated.co.uk>] PR#2443
*) Let APACI's configure script determine some configuration parameters
(Group, Port, ServerAdmin, ServerName) via some intelligent tests to
remove some of the classical hurdles for new users when setting up
Apache. This is done per default because it is useful for the average
user. Package authors can use the --without-confadjust option to disable
these configuration adjustments.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Added an EXTRA_DEPS configuration parameter which can be used
to add an extra Makefile dependency for the httpd target, for instance
to external third-party libraries, etc.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add <IfDefine>..</IfDefine> sections to the core module (with same spirit
as <IfModule>..</IfModule> sections) which can be used to skip or process
contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command
line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like <IfDefine
ReverseProxy> instead of physically ones (e.g. <IfModule mod_proxy.c>)
and thus especially can be used for conditionally loading DSO-based
modules via LoadModule, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) PORT: clean up a warning in mod_status for OS/2. [Brian Havard]
*) Make table elements const. This may prevent obscure errors. [Ben Laurie]
*) Fix parsing of FTP `SIZE' responses in proxy module: The newline was not
truncated which forced following HTTP headers to be data in the HTTP
reponse. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Charles Fu <ccwf@bacchus.com>]
PR#2412, 2367
*) Portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed
in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for
instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined
output of Awk. [Bill Houle <bhoule@sandiegoca.ncr.com>] PR#2435
*) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing
integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting
them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather
than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and
make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first
regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good
in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large
directories. [Ken Coar]
*) 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.
