  *) 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.)
     [Graham Wiseman <gwiseman fscinternet.com>, Richard Reiner]
  *) mod_ssl: Add support for distributed session cache using 'distcache'.
     [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]

  *) Fixed cache-removal order in mod_mem_cache.
     [Jean-Jacques Clar, Cliff Woolley]

     which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
