*) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
*) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
*) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
*) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
"downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
[Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
*) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new
hook. [Ken Coar]
*) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
[Doug MacEachern]
*) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
*) Support the image map format of FrontPage. For example:
rect /url.hrm 10 20 30 40
*) PORT: -lresolv and -lsocks were in the wrong order for Solaris.
*) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
*) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
names to be qualified by redirection.

*) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
Wallace]
*) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
an empty query string via "xxx?".
This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
no longer maintains an external version.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
*) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
[Doug MacEachern]
*) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
*) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
*) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
[Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
*) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
[Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
*) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
indexing then you'll want to add:
Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
*) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#525
*) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
[Alexei Kosut]
*) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
*) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)

*) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
nmake -f Makefile.nt
Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
*) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
*) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
*) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
[Dean Gaudet]
*) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#372
*) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
module list. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
particularly important for high volume sites with a large
HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
*) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
(define STANDALONE_MAIN)
[Doug MacEachern]
*) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
would without sfio compiled in.
[Doug MacEachern]
*) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
[Ken Coar]
*) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not

*) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.
[Marc Slemko]
*) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]
*) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]
*) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
[Rob Hartill]
*) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
aggressively try to kill off specific children. For fastcgi.
*) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
*) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]
*) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added. [Jim Jagielski]
*) PORT: Added Windows NT support
Changes with Apache 1.2.6
*) mod_include when using XBitHack Full would send ETags in addition to
sending Last-Modifieds. This is incorrect HTTP/1.1 behaviour.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#1133
*) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
actually be reached via that port/addr. [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]
*) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
*) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
and mod_include.c. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
[Ken Coar] PR#1738
*) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
*) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a
request body, the body has to be read from the net before allowing
a keepalive session to continue. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
*) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
*) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with
multiple occurrences of the same key. [Stephen Scheck
*) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
*) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500
*) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
*) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
header, not an error, but a waste.
*) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.

*) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
*) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
[Ralf Engelschall]
*) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
*) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]
*) Fix MPE compilation error in mod_usertrack.c. [Mark Bixby]
*) Quote CC='$(CC)' to improve recurse make calls. [Martin Kraemer]
*) Avoid B_ERROR redeclaration on sysvr4 systems. [Martin Kraemer]
Changes with Apache 1.2.5
*) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
*) Fix an improper length in an ap_snprintf call in proxy_date_canon().
[Marc Slemko]
*) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
directory listings. [Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
[Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the the previous note
about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
*) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
*) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial
of service attack against the Apache server. Thanks to
this. [Dean Gaudet]
*) mod_include used uninitialized data for some uses of && and ||.
*) mod_imap should decline all non-GET methods.
*) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
*) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]
*) mod_include did not properly handle all possible redirects from sub-
requests. [Ken Coar]
*) Inetd mode (which is buggy) uses timeouts without having setup the
jmpbuffer. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1064
*) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
reporting a select error over and over.

Changes with Apache 1.2.4
*) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.
[Marc Slemko, Roy Fielding]
*) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
Changes with Apache 1.2.3
*) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]
*) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
*) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
*) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
*) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
[Marc Slemko]
*) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
[Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
*) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
*) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#748
*) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
[Howard Fear]
*) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
In detail:
- workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
- fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string
- fixed forced response code on redirects (PR#777)
- fixed cases where r->args is ""
- kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
- fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
- fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
o fixed a few comment typos
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
*) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
"downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
a deficiency in the header_parse phase.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#875
*) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
*) Properly treat <files> container like other containers in mod_info.
[Marc Slemko] PR#848
*) The proxy didn't treat the "Host:" keyword of the host header as case-
insensitive. The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
an HTTP/0.9 server. [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814

under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#832
*) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378
*) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
release version number, such that it always increases along the
same lines as our source code branching. [Roy Fielding]
*) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed. [Paul Sutton] PR#94
Changes with Apache 1.2.1
*) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of
CGI. [Dean Gaudet]
*) SECURITY: HeaderName and ReadmeName were settable in .htaccess and
could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
*) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
(headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
*) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
*) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
*) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
[Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,

*) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
*) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
makes. [Marc Slemko]
*) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.
[Dean Gaudet] PR#644
*) mod_include was not properly changing the current directory.
[Marc Slemko] PR#742
*) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
[Dean Gaudet] various PRs
*) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]
*) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
SunOS 4.
*) Improved unix error response logging. [Marc Slemko]
*) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6. New ruleflag
QSA=query_string_append. Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special
redirect flag, e.g. R=permanent, the permanent status was lost.

[Chuck Murcko] PR#614
*) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.
[Paul Sutton and Martin Mares] PR#610
*) The OS/2 handling of process group was broken by a porting patch for
MPE, so restored prior code for OS/2. [Roy Fielding and Garey Smiley]
*) Inherit virtual server port from main server if none (or "*") is
given for VirtualHost. [Dean Gaudet] PR#576
*) If the lookup for a DirectoryIndex name with content negotiation
has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
[Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]
*) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
loop would try to read another request even though the connection
has been aborted. [Roy Fielding]
*) Configure changes: Allow for whitespace at the start of a
Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
original request-line. [Roy Fielding]
*) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
we don't want the error message to include those fields. Likewise,
reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Restored the semantics of headers_out (headers sent only with 200..299
and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
(the usual case). [Roy Fielding]
*) Fixed a couple places where a check for the default Content-Type was
not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h. Changed the value
of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).
[Dean Gaudet] PR#506
*) Escape the HTML-sensitive characters in the Request-URI that is
output for each child by mod_status. [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar] PR#501
*) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
[Marc Slemko]
*) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
(and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
the CGI script filename. The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
[Roy Fielding]
*) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
*) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
message body again. [Rob Hartill]
*) signal() replacement conflicted with a define on QNX (and potentially
other platforms). Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#512
Changes with Apache 1.2b10
*) Allow HTTPD_ROOT, SERVER_CONFIG_FILE, DEFAULT_PATH, and SHELL_PATH

Changes with Apache 1.2b9 [never announced]
*) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
*) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop). Apache will now stop
trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.
[Roy Fielding and Nathan Kurz] PR#335
*) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;
rearranged other modules to enhance understanding of their purpose
and relative order (and maybe even reduce some overhead).
[Roy Fielding and Sameer Parekh]
*) Fix graceful restart. Eliminate many signal-related race
conditions in both forms of restart, and in SIGTERM. See
htdocs/manual/stopping.html for details on stopping and
restarting the parent. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include. Tune
memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to
be allocated. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Allow suexec to access files relative to current directory but not
above. (Excluding leading / or any .. directory.) [Ken Coar]
PR#269, 319, 395
*) Fix suexec segfault when group doesn't exist. [Gregory Neil Shapiro]
PR#367, 368, 354, 453
*) Fix the above fix: if suexec is enabled, avoid destroying r->url
while obtaining the /~user and save the username in a separate data
area so that it won't be overwritten by the call to getgrgid(), and
fix some misuse of the pool string allocation functions. Also fixes
a general problem with parsing URL query info into args for CGI scripts.
[Roy Fielding] PR#339, 367, 354, 453
*) Fix IRIX warning about bzero undefined. [Marc Slemko]
*) Fix problem with <Directory proxy:...>. [Martin Kraemer] PR#271

AuthDBAuthoritative. [Marc Slemko] PR#420
*) MaxClients should be at least 1. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#375
*) The default handler now logs invalid methods or URIs (i.e. PUT on an
object that can't be PUT, or FOOBAR for some method FOOBAR that
apache doesn't know about at all). Log 404s that occur in mod_include.
[Paul Sutton, John Van Essen]
*) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373
*) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232
*) Fixed SIGSEGV problem when a DirectoryIndex file is also the source
of an external redirection. [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]
*) Configure would create a broken Makefile if the configuration file
contained a commented-out Rule. [Roy Fielding]
*) Promote per_dir_config and subprocess_env from the subrequest to the
main request in mod_negotiation. In particular this fixes a bug
where <Files> sections wouldn't properly apply to negotiated content.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Fix a potential deadlock in mod_cgi script_err handling.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) rotatelogs zero-pads the logfile names to improve alphabetic sorting.
[Mitchell Blank Jr]
*) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
.htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
<Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
[Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340
*) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
request. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Configure was finding non-modules on EXTRA_LIBS. [Frank Cringle] PR#380
*) Use /bin/sh5 on ULTRIX. [P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia] PR#369
*) Add UnixWare compile/install instructions. [Chuck Murcko]
*) Add mod_example (illustration of API techniques). [Ken Coar]
*) Add macro for memmove to conf.h for SUNOS4. [Marc Slemko]
*) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
[Chuck Murcko]
*) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]
*) More signed/unsigned port fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
*) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
[Dean Gaudet]
Changes with Apache 1.2b8
*) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
to it. [Marc Slemko]
*) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
*) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
signal is received. [Ken Coar]
*) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
*) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
*) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
*) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
*) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
(was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
*) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
*) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
*) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
*) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
*) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
*) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
*) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
[Dirk vanGulik]
*) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
*) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
*) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
*) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
*) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
[Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
*) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
*) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
*) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory

*) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
[Petr Lampa] PR#160
*) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
[Ken Coar]
*) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
*) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
[Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
*) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
*) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
[Garey Smiley] PR #59
*) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
*) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
*) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
in use. [Ben Laurie]
*) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
*) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
caused a SEGV on some systems.
*) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
*) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.

Changes with Apache 1.2b7
*) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
*) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
- replace protocol response numbers with symbols
- save variant-list into main request notes
- free allocated memory from subrequests
- merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
*) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
"HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
