      Add an option to enforce stricter HTTP conformance · c8e1f5ae
      William A. Rowe Jr authored 
      This is a first stab, the checks will likely have to be revised.
For now, we check

 * if the request line contains control characters
 * if the request uri has fragment or username/password
 * that the request method is standard or registered with RegisterHttpMethod
 * that the request protocol is of the form HTTP/[1-9]+.[0-9]+,
   or missing for 0.9
 * if there is garbage in the request line after the protocol
 * if any request header contains control characters
 * if any request header has an empty name
 * for the host name in the URL or Host header:
   - if an IPv4 dotted decimal address: Reject octal or hex values, require
     exactly four parts
   - if a DNS host name: Reject non-alphanumeric characters besides '.' and
     '-'. As a side effect, this rejects multiple Host headers.
 * if any response header contains control characters
 * if any response header has an empty name
 * that the Location response header (if present) has a valid scheme and is
   absolute

If we have a host name both from the URL and the Host header, we replace the
Host header with the value from the URL to enforce RFC conformance.

There is a log-only mode, but the loglevels of the logged messages need some
thought/work. Currently, the  checks for incoming data log for 'core' and the
checks for outgoing data log for 'http'. Maybe we need a way to configure the
loglevels separately from the core/http loglevels.

change protocol number parsing in strict mode according to HTTPbis draft
- only accept single digit version components
- don't accept white-space after protocol specification

Clean up comment, fix log tags.

      Correctly parse an IPv6 literal host specification in an absolute URL · 6dbeba9d

      in the request line.

- Fix handling of brackets [ ] surrounding the IPv6 address.
- Skip parsing r->hostname again if not necessary.
- Do some checks that the IPv6 address is sane. This is not done by
  apr_parse_addr_port().

log client error at level debug, log broken Host header value

      Jim Jagielski authored 
      mod_dav: Fix a potential cause of unbounded memory usage or incorrect
behavior in a routine that sends <DAV:response>'s to the output filters.

The dav_send_one_response() function accepts the current head of the output
filter list as an argument, but the actual head can change between calls to
ap_pass_brigade().  This can happen with self-removing filters, e.g., with
the filter from mod_headers or mod_deflate.  Consequently, executing an
already removed filter can either cause unwanted memory usage or incorrect
behavior.

This patch changes the signature of the existing mod_dav's public API,
dav_send_one_response(), because this API is not yet a part of any 2.4.x
release.

* modules/dav/main/mod_dav.c
  (dav_send_one_response): Accept a request_rec instead of an ap_filter_t.
   Write the response to r->output_filters.
  (dav_send_multistatus, dav_stream_response): Update these calling sites
   of dav_send_one_response().

* modules/dav/main/mod_dav.h
  (dav_send_one_response): Adjust definition.
