[William Rowe, Stefan Fritsch] *) Validate HTTP response header grammar defined by RFC7230, resulting in a 500 error in the event that invalid response header contents are detected when serving the response, to avoid response splitting and cache pollution by malicious clients, upstream servers or faulty modules.

PR 21935. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2EarlyHints' to enable sending of HTTP status 103 interim responses. Disabled by default. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_ssl: Fix quick renegotiation (OptRenegotiaton) with no intermediate in the client certificate chain. PR 55786.

[Eric Covener] *) mod_dav: Fix a potential cause of unbounded memory usage or incorrect behavior in a routine that sends 's to the output filters. [Evgeny Kotkov] *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushResource' to enable early pushes before processing of the main request starts. Resources are announced to the client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response. All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes. 'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical' is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped as well. This makes reverse proxy mapping available for resources announced in this header. With 103 interim responses being forwarded to the main client connection, this effectively allows early pushing of resources by a reverse proxied backend server. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for newly proposed 103 status code. [Stefan Eissing] *) mpm_unix: Apache fails to start if previously crashed then restarted with the same PID (e.g. in container). PR 60261. [Val , Yann Ylavic] *) mod_http2: unannounced and multiple interim responses (status code < 200) are parsed and forwarded to client until a final response arrives. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_http2: improved robustness when main connection is closed early by resetting all ongoing streams against the backend. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: allocators from slave connections are released earlier, resulting in less overall memory use on busy, long lived connections. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_remoteip: Pick up where we left off during a subrequest rather than running with the modified XFF but original TCP address. PR 49839/PR 60251 *) http: Respond with "408 Request Timeout" when a timeout occurs while reading the request body. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_http2: connection shutdown revisited: corrected edge cases on shutting down ongoing streams, changed log warnings to be less noisy when waiting on long running tasks. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: changed all AP_DEBUG_ASSERT to ap_assert to have them available also in normal deployments. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented up to the backend. Reused HTTP/2 proxy connections with more than a second not used will block request bodies until a PING answer is received. Requests headers are not delayed by this, since they are repeatable in case of failure. This greatly increases robustness, especially with busy server and/or low keepalive connections. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed duplicate symbols with mod_http2. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: rewrite of how responses and trailers are transferred between master and slave connection. Reduction of internal states for tasks and streams, stability. Heuristic id generation for slave connections to better keep promise of connection ids unique at given point int time. Fix for mod_cgid interop in high load situtations. Fix for handling of incoming trailers when no request body is sent. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: fix suspended handling for streams. Output could become blocked in rare cases. [Stefan Eissing] *) mpm_winnt: Prevent a denial of service when the 'data' AcceptFilter is in use by replacing it with the 'connect' filter. PR 59970. [Jacob Champion] *) mod_cgid: Resolve a case where a short CGI response causes a subsequent CGI to be killed prematurely, resulting in a truncated subsequent response. [Eric Covener] *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Set health check URI and expression correctly for health check worker. PR 60038 [zdeno ] *) mod_http2: if configured with nghttp2 1.14.0 and onward, invalid request headers will immediately reset the stream with a PROTOCOL error. Feature logged by module on startup as 'INVHD' in info message. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: fixed handling of stream buffers during shutdown. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_reqtimeout: Fix body timeout disabling for CONNECT requests to avoid triggering mod_proxy_connect's AH01018 once the tunnel is established. [Yann Ylavic] *) ab: Set the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension on outgoing TLS connections (unless -I is specified), according to the Host header (if any) or the requested URL's hostname otherwise. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_proxy_fcgi: avoid loops when ProxyErrorOverride is enabled and the error documents are proxied. PR 55415. [Luca Toscano] *) mod_proxy_fcgi: read the whole FCGI response even when the content has not been modified (HTTP 304) or in case of a precondition failure (HTTP 412) to avoid subsequent bogus reads and confusing error messages logged. [Luca Toscano] *) mod_http2: h2 status resource follows latest draft, see http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-benfield-http2-debug-state-01.txt [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: handling graceful shutdown gracefully, e.g. handling existing streams to the end. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_{http,ajp,fcgi}: don't reuse backend connections with data available before the request is sent. PR 57832.

[Eric Covener] *) mod_http2: new H2CopyFiles directive that changes treatment of file handles in responses. Necessary in order to fix broken lifetime handling in modules such as mod_wsgi. *) mod_http2: removing timeouts on master connection while requests are being processed. Requests may timeout, but the master only times out when no more requests are active. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: fixes connection flush when answering SETTINGS without any stream open. [Moto Ishizawa <@summerwind>, Stefan Eissing] Changes with Apache 2.4.23 *) mod_ssl: reset client-verify state of ssl when aborting renegotiations.
