*) Allow ap_read_request errors to propagate through the normal request
handling loop so that the connection can be properly closed with
lingering_close, thus avoiding a potential TCP reset that would
cause the client to miss the HTTP error response. [Roy Fielding]
*) One more portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk

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.

*) mod_setenvif (BrowserMatch* and friends) will now match a missing

*) 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 transferred. It works for HTTP transfers only. The
new configuration directive is called CacheForceCompletion.
*) 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.
*) 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.
*) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for SCO5 (OpenServer 5.0.x).
*) 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.
*) 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

[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).

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

*) 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]

*) 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'.

because of a return code of 1 from an "if" (for instance under braindead
Ultrix the result code of an "if" construct is 1 if the "then" clause
didn't match). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Add an additional "dummy" target to the "$(LIB)" target in generated
modules/xxx/Makefile's to avoid problems with SVR4 Make under "full-DSO"
situation (no libxxx.a built, only mod_xxx.so's) where LIB and OBJS are

programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses
CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in
the past under Win32).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the
generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made
more informative.

[Martin Kraemer]
*) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"

only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.

*) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]

*) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
- make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
- SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
- remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
CFLAGS for SCO 5.
- update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
- updated the dependencies theirself
- removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
- replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
- Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
- Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
definitions
- replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
- reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
- removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
is no longer needed.
- force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner

*) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
[Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
*) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
*) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
[Brian Behlendorf]
*) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
configure options.
2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
(specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
- make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
- removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
- make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
only when no shadow trees already exists
- make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
when no more shadow trees exists
- overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
- make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056

[Martin Kraemer]
*) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
[Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
*) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
[Martin Kraemer]
*) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
and not the original statically list from modules.c
2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
later use by the AddModule command.
3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
statically and dynamically linked modules.

*) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
maintainers from Red Hat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
--proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
--localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.

*) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
(Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
*) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
[Dean Gaudet]
*) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
--compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
--compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
*) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
*) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too
long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile
[Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory
/usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht]
Changes with Apache 1.3b6
*) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
*) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
functions:
- Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
- Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
- Private functions which we can't make static (because of
cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
by third-party module authors.
[The Apache Group]
*) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
*) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
*) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
"distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
source tree as it was for distribution.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
