Changes with Apache 2.3.7

  *) core/mod_authz_core: Introduce new access_checker_ex hook that enables
     mod_authz_core to bypass authentication if access should be allowed by
     IP address/env var/... [Stefan Fritsch]
 
  *) core: Introduce note_auth_failure hook to allow modules to add support
     for additional auth types. This makes ap_note_auth_failure() work with
     mod_auth_digest again. PR 48807. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) socache modules: return APR_NOTFOUND when a lookup is not found [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_authn_cache: new module [Nick Kew]

  *) core: Try to proceed with authorization even if authentication failed.
     This allows e.g. to authorize by user _or_ ip address. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) configure: Add reallyall option for --enable-mods-shared. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Fix Windows build when using VC6. [Gregg L. Smith <lists glewis com>]
  *) mod_rewrite: Allow to set environment variables without explicitely
     giving a value. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_rewrite: Remove superfluous EOL from rewrite logging. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_include: recognise "text/html; parameters" as text/html

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
     attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
     the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
     and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
     [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
     by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
     keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
     configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
     access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.
     [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem, Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
     when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case of
     HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.  [Niku Toivola <niku.toivola sulake.com>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
     processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers.
     [Brett Gervasoni <brettg senseofsecurity.com>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Filter init functions are now run strictly once per request
     before handler invocation.  The init functions are no longer run
     for connection filters.  PR 49328.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Adjust the output filter chain correctly in an internal
     redirect from a subrequest, preserving filters from the main
     request as necessary.  PR 17629.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial
     Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206
     was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or
     Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add microsecond timestamp fractions, process id and thread id
     to the error log. [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: The "most" module set gets build by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Building dynamic modules (DSO) by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Fix broken VPATH build when using included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: Fix configure problem when building
     with APR 2 and for VPATH builds with included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: API compatibility with APR 2 crypto and
     APR Util 1.x crypto. [Rainer Jung]

  *) ab: Fix memory leak with -v2 and SSL. PR 49383.
     [Pavel Kankovsky <peak argo troja mff cuni cz>]

  *) core: Add per-module and per-directory loglevel configuration.
           Add some more trace logging.
     mod_rewrite: Replace RewriteLog/RewriteLogLevel with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl: Replace LogLevelDebugDump with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl/mod_proxy*: Adjust loglevels to be less verbose at levels info
           and debug.
     mod_dumpio:  Replace DumpIOLogLevel with trace log levels.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ldap: LDAP caching was suppressed (and ldap-status handler returns 
     title page only) when any mod_ldap directives were used in VirtualHost 
  *) mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is
     a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response
     from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_deflate: avoid the risk of forwarding data before headers are set.
     PR 49369 [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Ensure nested groups are checked when the 
     top-level group doesn't have any direct non-group members
     of attributes in AuthLDAPGroupAttribute. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Search or Comparison during authorization phase
     can use the credentials from the authentication phase
     (AuthLDAPSearchAsUSer,AuthLDAPCompareAsUser).
     PR 48340 [Domenico Rotiroti, Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Allow the initial DN search during authentication
     to use the HTTP username/pass instead of an anonymous or hard-coded
     LDAP id (AuthLDAPInitialBindAsUser, AuthLDAPInitialBindPattern).  
     [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Publish requested LDAP data with an AUTHORIZE_ prefix
     when this module is used for authorization. See AuthLDAPAuthorizePrefix.
     PR 45584 [Eric Covener]

  *) apxs -q: Stop filtering out ':' characters from the reported values.
     PR 45343.  [Bill Cole]

  *) prefork MPM: Run cleanups for final request when process exits gracefully.
     PR 43857.  [Tom Donovan]

  *) ab: fix number of requests sent by ab when keepalive is enabled.  PR 48497.
     [Bryn Dole <dole blekko.com>]

  *) Log an error for failures to read a chunk-size, and return 408 instead of
     413 when this is due to a read timeout.  This change also fixes some cases 
     of two error documents being sent in the response for the same scenario. 
     [Eric Covener] PR49167

  *) mod_proxy_balancer: Add new directive BalancerNonce to allow admin
     to control/set the nonce used in the balancer-manager application.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy_connect: Support port ranges in AllowConnect. PR 23673.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Proxy balancer: support setting error status according to HTTP response
     code from a backend.  PR 48939.  [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]
  *) htcacheclean: Introduce the ability to clean specific URLs from the
     cache, if provided as an optional parameter on the command line.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Introduce the IncludeStrict directive, which explicitly fails
     server startup if no files or directories match a wildcard path.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) htcacheclean: Report additional statistics about entries deleted.
     PR 48944. [Mark Drayton mark markdrayton.info]

  *) Introduce SSLFIPS directive to support OpenSSL FIPS_mode; permits all
     builds of mod_ssl to use 'SSLFIPS off' for portability, but the proper
     build of openssl is required for 'SSLFIPS on'.  PR 46270.
     [Dr Stephen Henson <steve openssl.org>, William Rowe]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Log the port of the remote server in various messages.
     PR 48812. [Igor Galić <i galic brainsware org>] 

  *) mod_reqtimeout: Do not wrongly enforce timeouts for mod_proxy's backend
     connections and other protocol handlers (like mod_ftp). [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Really regard the operation a success, when the client
     aborted the connection. In addition adjust the log message if the client
     aborted the connection. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_ssl: Add the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive, which
     allows insecure renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the secure renegotiation protocol.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix a potential I/O hang if a long list of trusted CAs
     is configured for client cert auth. PR 46952.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Only log a 408 if it is no keepalive timeout. PR 39785
     [Ruediger Pluem,  Mark Montague <markmont umich.edu>]

  *) support/rotatelogs: Add -L option to create a link to the current
     log file.  PR 48761 [<lyndon orthanc.ca>, Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_ldap: Update LDAPTrustedClientCert to consistently be a per-directory
     setting only, matching most of the documentation and examples. 
     PR 46541 [Paul Reder, Eric Covener] 

  *) mod_ldap: LDAPTrustedClientCert now accepts CA_DER/CA_BASE64 argument
