mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
mod_dir (directory indexing)
mod_include (server-side includes)
mod_mime (AddType directives)
mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
*) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
and mod_negotiation).
*) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
allocated with palloc().
*) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
--- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
*) Source files renamed and rearranged
*) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
*) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
*) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
Changes with Apache 0.6.4 13 May 1995
*) Patches by Rob Hartill, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert Thau,
and others.
Changes with Apache 0.5.1 10 Apr 1995
Changes with Apache 0.4 02 Apr 1995
*) Patches by Brian Behlendorf, Andrew Wilson, Robert Thau,
and Rob Hartill.
Changes with Apache 0.3 24 Mar 1995
*) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
Carlos Varela.
Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
*) Based on NCSA httpd 1.3 by Rob McCool and patches by CERT,
Roy Fielding, Robert Thau, Nicolas Pioch, David Robinson,
Brian Behlendorf, Rob Hartill, and Cliff Skolnick.
