-Changes with Apache 2.0.35
+
+Changes with Apache 2.0.36
- *) mod_rewrite: updated to use the new APR global mutex type.
+ *) Close sockets on worker MPM when doing a graceless restart.
[Aaron Bannert]
- *) Fixes for mod_include errors on boundary conditions in which
- "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
- [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]
-
- *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to
- cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
- -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).
- [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Reverted a minor optimization in mod_ssl.c that used the vhost ID
+ as the session id context rather that a MD5 hash of that vhost ID,
+ because it caused very long vhost id's to be unusable with mod_ssl.
+ PR 8572. [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
- for those platforms that support it. If using the default
- implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
- This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Fix the link to the description of the CoredumpDirectory
+ directive in the server-wide document. PR 8643. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
- environment variables in the envvars file. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fixed SHMCB session caching. [Aaron Bannert, Cliff Woolley]
- *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker
- thread. Otherwise, in situations where we'll have to wait a while
- to take over scoreboard slots from a previous generation, we'll be
- accepting connections we can't process yet. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Synced with remaining changes from mod_ssl 2.8.8-1.3.24:
+ - Avoid SIGBUS on sparc machines with SHMCB session caches
+ - Allow whitespace between the pipe and the name of the
+ program in SSLLog "| /path/to/program". [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Allow worker MPM to build on systems without pthread_kill().
- [Pier Fumagalli, Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Introduce mod_ext_filter and mod_deflate experimental modules
+ to the Win32 build (zlib sources must be in srclib\zlib.)
+ [William Rowe]
- *) Prevent ap_add_output_filters_by_type from being called in
- ap_set_content_type if the content-type hasn't changed.
- [Justin Erenkrantz]
+ *) Changes to the worker MPM's queue management and thread
+ synchronization code to reduce mutex contention [Brian Pane]
- *) Performance: implemented the bucket allocator made possible by the
- API change in 2.0.34. [Cliff Woolley]
+ *) Don't install *.in configuration files since we already install
+ *-std.conf files. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Don't allow initialization to succeed if we can't get a socket
- corresponding to one of the Listen statements. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Many improvements to the threadpool MPM. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Allow all Perchild directives to accept either numerical UID/GID
- or logical user/group names. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
+ *) Fix subreqs that are promoted via fast_redirect from having invalid
+ frec->r structures. This would cause subtle errors later on in
+ request processing such as seen in PR 7966. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Make Perchild compile cleanly and serve pages again. [Ryan Bloom]
+ *) More efficient pool recycling logic for the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
- *) implement ssl proxy to support ProxyPass / https:// and the
- SSLProxy* directives [Doug MacEachern]
+ *) Modify the worker MPM to not accept() new connections until
+ there is an available worker thread. This prevents queued
+ connections from starving for processing time while long-running
+ connections were hogging all the available threads. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Update mod_cgid to not do single-byte socket reads for CGI headers
- [Brian Pane]
+ *) Convert the worker MPM's fdqueue from a LIFO back into a FIFO.
+ [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Made AB's use of the Host: header rfc2616 compliant
- by Taisuke Yamada <ta...@iij.ad.jp> [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
+ *) Get basic HTTP proxy working on EBCDIC machines. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) The old, legacy (and unused) code in which the scoreboard was totally
- and completely contained in a file (SCOREBOARD_FILE) has been
- removed. This does not affect scoreboards which are *mapped* to
- files using named-shared-memory. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Allow mod_unique_id to work on systems with no IPv4 address
+ corresponding to their host name. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be
- passed in at certain points. This allows us to implement freelists
- so that we can stop using malloc/free so frequently.
- [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
+ *) Fix suexec behavior with user directories. PR 7810.
+ [Colm <co...@redbrick.dcu.ie>]
- *) Add support for macro expansion within the variable names in
- <!--#echo--> and <!--#set--> directives [Brian Pane]
+ *) Reject a blank UserDir directive since it is ambiguous. PR 8472.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Fix some mod_include segfaults [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane, Brad Nicholes]
+ *) Make mod_mime use case-insensitive matching when examining
+ extensions on all platforms. PR 8223. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Update the Redhat Layout to match Redhat version 7. PR BZ-7422
- [Joe Orton]
+ *) Add an intelligent error message should no proxy submodules be
+ valid to handle a request. PR 8407 [Graham Leggett]
- *) add compat layer to support RSA SSLC 1.x and 2.x in mod_ssl
- [Jon Travis, John Barbee, William Rowe, Ryan Bloom, Doug MacEachern]
+ *) Major improvements in concurrent processing for AB by enabling
+ non-blocking connect()s and preventing APR from doing blocking
+ read()s. Also implement fatal error checking for apr_recv().
+ [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Add a new parameter to the quick_handler hook to instruct
- quick handlers to optionally do a lookup rather than actually
- serve content. This is the first of several changes required fix
- several problems with how quick handlers work with subrequests.
- [Bill Stoddard]
+ *) Fix Win32 NTFS Junctions (symlinks). PR 8014 [William Rowe]
- *) worker MPM: Get MaxRequestsPerChild to work again. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix Win32 'short name' aliases in httpd.conf directives.
+ PR 8009 [William Rowe]
- *) [APR-related] The ordering of the default accept mutex method has
- been changed to better match what's done in Apache 1.3. The ordering
- is now (highest to lowest): pthread -> sysvsem -> fcntl -> flock.
- [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Fix generation of default httpd.conf when the layout paths are
+ disjoint. PR 7979, 8227. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Ensure that the build/ directory is created when using VPATH.
+ *) Swap downgrade-1.0 and force-response-1.0 conditional checks so
+ that downgraded responses can have force-response. PR 8357.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Add some popular types to the mime magic file. PR 7730.
- [Linus Walleij <tr...@df.lth.se>, Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Remove the single-byte socket reads for CGI headers [Brian Pane]
-
- *) When a proxied site was being served, Apache was replacing
- the original site Server header with it's own, which is not
- allowed by RFC2616. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Fix a mod_cgid problem that left daemon processes stranded
- in some server restart scenarios. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix perchild MPM so that it can be configured with the move to the
+ experimental directory. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
- *) Added exp_foo and rel_foo variables to config_vars.mk for
- all Apache and Autoconf path variables (like --sysconfdir,
- --sbindir, etc). exp_foo is the "expanded" version, which means
- that all internal variable references have been interpolated.
- rel_foo is the same as $exp_foo, only relative to $prefix if they
- share a common path. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Fix perchild MPM so that it uses ap_gname2id for groups instead of
+ ap_uname2id. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
- *) Fix some restart/terminate problems in the worker MPM. Don't
- drop connections during graceful restart. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234 [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Change the header merging behaviour in proxy, as some headers
- (like Set-Cookie) cannot be unmerged due to stray commas in
- dates. [Graham Leggett]
+ *) [Security] Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
+ explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
+ to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
+ Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
+ messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
+ the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
+ the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
+ minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
- *) Be more vocal about what AcceptMutex values we allow, to make
- us closer to how 1.3 does it. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
+ omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
+ would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
+ underneath them. PR 8016 [David Shane Holden <dp...@yahoo.com>]
- *) Get nph- CGI scripts working again. PRs 8902, 8907, 9983
- [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Moved the call to apr_mmap_dup outside the error branch so
+ that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump
+ at init everytime you use the MMapFile directive. PR 8314
+ [Paul J. Reder]
- *) Upgraded PCRE library to latest version 3.9 [Brian Pane]
+ *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
+ load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when
+ switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Add accessor function to set r->content_type. From now on,
- ap_rset_content_type() should be used to set r->content_type.
- This change is required to properly implement the
- AddOutputFilterByType configuration directive.
- [Bill Stoddard, Sander Striker, Ryan Bloom]
+ *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
+ clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
+ on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
+ it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
+ and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
+ that requirement. [Sander Striker]
- *) Add new M_FOO symbols for the WebDAV/DeltaV methods specified by
- RFC 3253. Improved the method name/number mapping functions.
- [Greg Stein]
+ *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty
+ directory. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
- *) remove sock_enable_linger from connection.c [Ian Holsman]
+ *) Fix 'control reaches end of non-void function' warning in
+ server/log.c. [Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@collab.net>]
- *) Fix for virtual host processing where the requested hostname
- has a '.' at the end (PR 9187) [Ryan Cruse <ry...@estara.com>]
+ *) Perchild MPM is now correctly deemed as experimental and is now
+ located in server/mpm/experimental. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) mod_dav's APIs for REPORT response handling was changed so that
- providers can generate the content directly into the output filter
- stack, rather than buffering the response into memory. [Greg Stein]
+ *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garbage collecting an expired
+ cache entry. [Bill Stoddard]
- *) Fix a hang condition with graceful restart and prefork MPM
- in the situation where MaxClients is very high but
- much fewer servers are actually started at the time of the
- restart. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
+ to begin logging errors immediately. This provides Win32 users
+ an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
+ allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.
+ [William Rowe]
+
+ *) Fix subreqs with non-defined Content-Types being served improperly.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Small performance fixes for mod_include [Brian Pane]
+ *) Merge in latest GNU config.guess and config.sub files. PR 7818.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Performance improvement for the error logger [Brian Pane]
+ *) Move 100 - Continue support to the HTTP_IN filter so that filters
+ are guaranteed to support 100 - Continue logic without any
+ intervention. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Change configure so that Solaris 8 and above have
- SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT defined by default.
- according to sun people solaris 8+ doesn't have a thundering
- herd problem [Ian Holsman]
+ *) Add HTTP chunked input trailer support. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Allow URIs specifying CGI scripts to include '/' at the end
- (e.g., /cgi-bin/printenv/) on AIX and Solaris (and other OSs
- which ignore '/' at the end of the names of non-directories).
- PR 10138 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Rename and export get_mime_headers as ap_get_mime_headers.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) implement SSLSessionCache shmht and shmcb based on apr_rmm and
- apr_shm. [Madhusudan Mathihalli <ma...@hp.com>]
+ *) Allow empty Host: header arguments. PR 7441. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Fix apxs -g handling. Move config_vars.mk from the top build
- directory to the build directory. PR 10163 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Properly substitute sbindir as httpd's location in apachectl. PR 7840.
+ [Andreas Hasenack <an...@netbank.com.br>]
- *) Fix some mod_include problems which broke evaluation of some
- expressions. PR 10108 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Allow Win32 shebang scripts to follow the path (or omit the .exe
+ suffix from the shebang command), and allow ScriptInterpreterSource
+ Registry or RegistryStrict to override shebang lines, as 1.3 did.
+ PR 8004 [William Rowe]
- *) Fix the calculation of request time in mod_status. [Stas Bekman]
+ *) worker MPM: Fix a situation where a child exited without releasing
+ the accept mutex. Depending on the OS and mutex mechanism this
+ could result in a hang. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Fix the calculation of thread_num in the worker score structure.
+ *) Update the instructions for how to get started with mod_example.
[Stas Bekman]
+
+ *) Fix PidFile to default to rel_runtimedir instead of
+ rel_logfiledir. PR 7841. [Andreas Hasenack <an...@netbank.com.br>]
- *) Use apr_atomic operations in managing the mod_mem_cache
- cache_objects for SMP scalability. (see USE_ATOMICS
- preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Add filehandle caching to mod_mem_cache. (see CACHE_FD
- preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Implement prototype mod_disk_cache for use with mod_cache.
+ *) Win32: Fix problem that caused rapid performance degradation
+ when number of connecting clients exceeded ThreadsPerChild.
[Bill Stoddard]
- *) Add a missing manualdir entry in the Debian config.layout.
- [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Stop installing libtool for APR and tell APR where it should place
- its copy of libtool (via our installbuildpath layout variable).
- [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
- when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
- should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
- transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the
- client. This prevents the backend server from being forced to hang
- around while the last few bytes are transmitted to a slow client.
- Fix the case where no error checking was performed on the final
- brigade in the loop. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Scrap CacheMaxExpireMin and CacheDefaultExpireMin. Change
- CacheMaxExpire and CacheDefaultExpire to use seconds rather than
- hours. [Graham Leggett, Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) New Directive SSIUndefinedEcho. to change the '(none)' echoed
- for a undefined variable. [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) Proxy HTTP and CONNECT: Keep trying other addresses from the DNS
- when we can't get a socket in the specified address family. We may
- have gotten back an IPv6 address first and yet our system is not
- configured to allow IPv6 sockets. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Be more careful about recursively removing CVS directories. Make
- sure that we aren't cd'ing to their home directory first. PR: 9993
- [Aaron Bannert, James LewisMoss <dr...@lewismoss.net>]
-
- *) Add a missing errordir entry in the Debian config.layout. PR: 10067
- [Dirk-Jan Faber <di...@selwerd.nl>, Aaron Bannert,
- Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Rename the filter ordering priorities. The recent filtering fixes
- have showcased problems with their usage. Therefore, we need to
- rename them to increase the clarity. (CONTENT->RESOURCE,
- HTTP_HEADER->CONTENT_SET/PROTOCOL) [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Fix a problem in the new --enable-layout functionality where
- it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
- --bindir, etc. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
- no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before
- returning exhaustive data. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) rename apr_exploded_time_t to apr_time_exp_t (as per renames pending)
- [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
- this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
- running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
- server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
-
- *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
- This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
- mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
- passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
-
- *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
- ignored. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
- PR 9888
-
- *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
- --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
- etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
- used instead. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
- PR 9124, 9873, 9885
-
- *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
- regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
- to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]
-
- *) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9. [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Prevent Apache from ignoring SIGHUP due to some lingering 1.3
- cruft in piped logs and rewritemap child processes.
- [William Rowe]
-
- *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
- to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
- apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
- use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
- [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Fixed a segfault parsing large SSIs on non-mmap systems.
+ [Brian Havard]
- *) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.
- [Ralf S. Engelschall, Cliff Woolley]
+ *) Proxy was bombing out every second keepalive request, caused by a
+ stray CRLF before the second response's status line. Proxy now
+ tries to read one more line if it encounters a CRLF where it
+ expected a status. PR 10010 [Graham Leggett]
- *) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
- [Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
+ *) Deprecated the apr_lock.h API. Please see the following files
+ for the improved thread and process locking and signaling:
+ apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
+ apr_thread_cond.h, and apr_global_mutex.h. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules
- to lookup filter handles so they can bypass the filter name
- lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
+ *) Change mod_status to use scoreboard accessor functions so it can
+ be used in any MPM without having to be recompiled.
[Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]
- *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
- bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
- non-keepalive requests. [Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]
-
- *) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
- file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers. [William Rowe]
- PR 9898
-
- *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
- multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
- controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
- process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
- as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
- [Jos Backus <jo...@cncdsl.com>, Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Convert mod_auth_digest to use the new apr_global_mutex_t
- type. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) fix bug in mod-include where it wouldn't send a unmatched
- part if it was at the end of a bucket [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) worker MPM: Improve logging of errors with the interface between
- the listener thread and worker threads. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
- single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
- are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
- client. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
- header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
- previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
- values (like cookies) going missing.
- [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive]
-
- *) Add the server-limit and thread-limit values to the scoreboard
- for the sake of third-party applications.
- [Adam Sussman <my...@vishnu.vidya.com>]
-
- *) Fix segfault when proxy recieves an invalid HTTP response [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) OS/390: Get make install to properly copy DSO modules.
- [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Win32: Fix bug in mod_status with displaying "Restart Time"
- and "Server uptime".
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Fix IPv6 name-based virtual hosts. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Introduce AddOutputFilterByType directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Fix DEBUG_CGI support in mod_cgi. PR 9670, 9671.
- [David MacKenzie <dj...@pix.net>]
-
- *) Fix incorrect check for script_in in mod_cgi. PR 9669.
- [David MacKenzie <dj...@pix.net>]
-
- *) Fix segfault and display error when SSLMutex file can not be
- created. [Adam Sussman <my...@vishnu.vidya.com>]
-
- *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
- better manage removing objects from the cache.
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
- Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
- get anonymous shared memory by default. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
- we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
- is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
- not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
- fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
- DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
- ability to access our scoreboard. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
- Content-Lengths. [Sander Striker <st...@apache.org>]
-
- *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
- no <Directory /> block. [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
+ *) Fix parsing of some AP_DECLARE_DATA declarations so that the filter
+ handle declarations are recognized. This fixes problems loading
+ mod_autoindex on some platforms. [Brian Havard]
- *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
- keep-alive logic. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
+ *) add optional fixup hook to proxy [Daniel Lopez <da...@covalent.net>]
- *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
- of the cgid process. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Remind the admin about the User and Group directives when we are
+ unable to set permissions on a semaphore. PR 7812 [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
- (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) fix possible compilation problem in ssl_engine_kernel.c. PR 7802
+ [Doug MacEachern]
- *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
- worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them. [Brian Pane]
+ *) fix possible infinite loop in mod_ssl triggered by certain
+ netscape clients [Doug MacEachern]
- *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process. Instead,
- the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
- child processes. [Ryan Bloom]
+ *) fix ProxyPass when frontend is https and backend is http
+ [Doug MacEachern]
-
+ *) Add DASL support to mod_dav
+ [Sung Kim <hu...@cse.ucsc.edu>]

-Changes with Apache 2.0.35
+
+Changes with Apache 2.0.36
- *) mod_rewrite: updated to use the new APR global mutex type.
+ *) Close sockets on worker MPM when doing a graceless restart.
[Aaron Bannert]
- *) Fixes for mod_include errors on boundary conditions in which
- "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
- [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]
-
- *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to
- cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
- -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).
- [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Reverted a minor optimization in mod_ssl.c that used the vhost ID
+ as the session id context rather that a MD5 hash of that vhost ID,
+ because it caused very long vhost id's to be unusable with mod_ssl.
+ PR 8572. [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
- for those platforms that support it. If using the default
- implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
- This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Fix the link to the description of the CoredumpDirectory
+ directive in the server-wide document. PR 8643. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
- environment variables in the envvars file. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fixed SHMCB session caching. [Aaron Bannert, Cliff Woolley]
- *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker
- thread. Otherwise, in situations where we'll have to wait a while
- to take over scoreboard slots from a previous generation, we'll be
- accepting connections we can't process yet. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Synced with remaining changes from mod_ssl 2.8.8-1.3.24:
+ - Avoid SIGBUS on sparc machines with SHMCB session caches
+ - Allow whitespace between the pipe and the name of the
+ program in SSLLog "| /path/to/program". [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Allow worker MPM to build on systems without pthread_kill().
- [Pier Fumagalli, Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Introduce mod_ext_filter and mod_deflate experimental modules
+ to the Win32 build (zlib sources must be in srclib\zlib.)
+ [William Rowe]
- *) Prevent ap_add_output_filters_by_type from being called in
- ap_set_content_type if the content-type hasn't changed.
- [Justin Erenkrantz]
+ *) Changes to the worker MPM's queue management and thread
+ synchronization code to reduce mutex contention [Brian Pane]
- *) Performance: implemented the bucket allocator made possible by the
- API change in 2.0.34. [Cliff Woolley]
+ *) Don't install *.in configuration files since we already install
+ *-std.conf files. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Don't allow initialization to succeed if we can't get a socket
- corresponding to one of the Listen statements. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Many improvements to the threadpool MPM. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Allow all Perchild directives to accept either numerical UID/GID
- or logical user/group names. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
+ *) Fix subreqs that are promoted via fast_redirect from having invalid
+ frec->r structures. This would cause subtle errors later on in
+ request processing such as seen in PR 7966. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Make Perchild compile cleanly and serve pages again. [Ryan Bloom]
+ *) More efficient pool recycling logic for the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
- *) implement ssl proxy to support ProxyPass / https:// and the
- SSLProxy* directives [Doug MacEachern]
+ *) Modify the worker MPM to not accept() new connections until
+ there is an available worker thread. This prevents queued
+ connections from starving for processing time while long-running
+ connections were hogging all the available threads. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Update mod_cgid to not do single-byte socket reads for CGI headers
- [Brian Pane]
+ *) Convert the worker MPM's fdqueue from a LIFO back into a FIFO.
+ [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Made AB's use of the Host: header rfc2616 compliant
- by Taisuke Yamada <ta...@iij.ad.jp> [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
+ *) Get basic HTTP proxy working on EBCDIC machines. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) The old, legacy (and unused) code in which the scoreboard was totally
- and completely contained in a file (SCOREBOARD_FILE) has been
- removed. This does not affect scoreboards which are *mapped* to
- files using named-shared-memory. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Allow mod_unique_id to work on systems with no IPv4 address
+ corresponding to their host name. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be
- passed in at certain points. This allows us to implement freelists
- so that we can stop using malloc/free so frequently.
- [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
+ *) Fix suexec behavior with user directories. PR 7810.
+ [Colm <co...@redbrick.dcu.ie>]
- *) Add support for macro expansion within the variable names in
- <!--#echo--> and <!--#set--> directives [Brian Pane]
+ *) Reject a blank UserDir directive since it is ambiguous. PR 8472.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Fix some mod_include segfaults [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane, Brad Nicholes]
+ *) Make mod_mime use case-insensitive matching when examining
+ extensions on all platforms. PR 8223. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Update the Redhat Layout to match Redhat version 7. PR BZ-7422
- [Joe Orton]
+ *) Add an intelligent error message should no proxy submodules be
+ valid to handle a request. PR 8407 [Graham Leggett]
- *) add compat layer to support RSA SSLC 1.x and 2.x in mod_ssl
- [Jon Travis, John Barbee, William Rowe, Ryan Bloom, Doug MacEachern]
+ *) Major improvements in concurrent processing for AB by enabling
+ non-blocking connect()s and preventing APR from doing blocking
+ read()s. Also implement fatal error checking for apr_recv().
+ [Aaron Bannert]
- *) Add a new parameter to the quick_handler hook to instruct
- quick handlers to optionally do a lookup rather than actually
- serve content. This is the first of several changes required fix
- several problems with how quick handlers work with subrequests.
- [Bill Stoddard]
+ *) Fix Win32 NTFS Junctions (symlinks). PR 8014 [William Rowe]
- *) worker MPM: Get MaxRequestsPerChild to work again. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix Win32 'short name' aliases in httpd.conf directives.
+ PR 8009 [William Rowe]
- *) [APR-related] The ordering of the default accept mutex method has
- been changed to better match what's done in Apache 1.3. The ordering
- is now (highest to lowest): pthread -> sysvsem -> fcntl -> flock.
- [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) Fix generation of default httpd.conf when the layout paths are
+ disjoint. PR 7979, 8227. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Ensure that the build/ directory is created when using VPATH.
+ *) Swap downgrade-1.0 and force-response-1.0 conditional checks so
+ that downgraded responses can have force-response. PR 8357.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Add some popular types to the mime magic file. PR 7730.
- [Linus Walleij <tr...@df.lth.se>, Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Remove the single-byte socket reads for CGI headers [Brian Pane]
-
- *) When a proxied site was being served, Apache was replacing
- the original site Server header with it's own, which is not
- allowed by RFC2616. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Fix a mod_cgid problem that left daemon processes stranded
- in some server restart scenarios. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix perchild MPM so that it can be configured with the move to the
+ experimental directory. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
- *) Added exp_foo and rel_foo variables to config_vars.mk for
- all Apache and Autoconf path variables (like --sysconfdir,
- --sbindir, etc). exp_foo is the "expanded" version, which means
- that all internal variable references have been interpolated.
- rel_foo is the same as $exp_foo, only relative to $prefix if they
- share a common path. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Fix perchild MPM so that it uses ap_gname2id for groups instead of
+ ap_uname2id. [Scott Lamb <sl...@slamb.org>]
- *) Fix some restart/terminate problems in the worker MPM. Don't
- drop connections during graceful restart. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234 [Cliff Woolley]
- *) Change the header merging behaviour in proxy, as some headers
- (like Set-Cookie) cannot be unmerged due to stray commas in
- dates. [Graham Leggett]
+ *) [Security] Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
+ explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
+ to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
+ Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
+ messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
+ the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
+ the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
+ minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
- *) Be more vocal about what AcceptMutex values we allow, to make
- us closer to how 1.3 does it. [Jim Jagielski]
+ *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
+ omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
+ would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
+ underneath them. PR 8016 [David Shane Holden <dp...@yahoo.com>]
- *) Get nph- CGI scripts working again. PRs 8902, 8907, 9983
- [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Moved the call to apr_mmap_dup outside the error branch so
+ that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump
+ at init everytime you use the MMapFile directive. PR 8314
+ [Paul J. Reder]
- *) Upgraded PCRE library to latest version 3.9 [Brian Pane]
+ *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
+ load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when
+ switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Add accessor function to set r->content_type. From now on,
- ap_rset_content_type() should be used to set r->content_type.
- This change is required to properly implement the
- AddOutputFilterByType configuration directive.
- [Bill Stoddard, Sander Striker, Ryan Bloom]
+ *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
+ clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
+ on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
+ it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
+ and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
+ that requirement. [Sander Striker]
- *) Add new M_FOO symbols for the WebDAV/DeltaV methods specified by
- RFC 3253. Improved the method name/number mapping functions.
- [Greg Stein]
+ *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty
+ directory. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
- *) remove sock_enable_linger from connection.c [Ian Holsman]
+ *) Fix 'control reaches end of non-void function' warning in
+ server/log.c. [Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@collab.net>]
- *) Fix for virtual host processing where the requested hostname
- has a '.' at the end (PR 9187) [Ryan Cruse <ry...@estara.com>]
+ *) Perchild MPM is now correctly deemed as experimental and is now
+ located in server/mpm/experimental. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) mod_dav's APIs for REPORT response handling was changed so that
- providers can generate the content directly into the output filter
- stack, rather than buffering the response into memory. [Greg Stein]
+ *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garbage collecting an expired
+ cache entry. [Bill Stoddard]
- *) Fix a hang condition with graceful restart and prefork MPM
- in the situation where MaxClients is very high but
- much fewer servers are actually started at the time of the
- restart. [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
+ to begin logging errors immediately. This provides Win32 users
+ an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
+ allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.
+ [William Rowe]
+
+ *) Fix subreqs with non-defined Content-Types being served improperly.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Small performance fixes for mod_include [Brian Pane]
+ *) Merge in latest GNU config.guess and config.sub files. PR 7818.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Performance improvement for the error logger [Brian Pane]
+ *) Move 100 - Continue support to the HTTP_IN filter so that filters
+ are guaranteed to support 100 - Continue logic without any
+ intervention. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Change configure so that Solaris 8 and above have
- SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT defined by default.
- according to sun people solaris 8+ doesn't have a thundering
- herd problem [Ian Holsman]
+ *) Add HTTP chunked input trailer support. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Allow URIs specifying CGI scripts to include '/' at the end
- (e.g., /cgi-bin/printenv/) on AIX and Solaris (and other OSs
- which ignore '/' at the end of the names of non-directories).
- PR 10138 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Rename and export get_mime_headers as ap_get_mime_headers.
+ [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) implement SSLSessionCache shmht and shmcb based on apr_rmm and
- apr_shm. [Madhusudan Mathihalli <ma...@hp.com>]
+ *) Allow empty Host: header arguments. PR 7441. [Justin Erenkrantz]
- *) Fix apxs -g handling. Move config_vars.mk from the top build
- directory to the build directory. PR 10163 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Properly substitute sbindir as httpd's location in apachectl. PR 7840.
+ [Andreas Hasenack <an...@netbank.com.br>]
- *) Fix some mod_include problems which broke evaluation of some
- expressions. PR 10108 [Jeff Trawick]
+ *) Allow Win32 shebang scripts to follow the path (or omit the .exe
+ suffix from the shebang command), and allow ScriptInterpreterSource
+ Registry or RegistryStrict to override shebang lines, as 1.3 did.
+ PR 8004 [William Rowe]
- *) Fix the calculation of request time in mod_status. [Stas Bekman]
+ *) worker MPM: Fix a situation where a child exited without releasing
+ the accept mutex. Depending on the OS and mutex mechanism this
+ could result in a hang. [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Fix the calculation of thread_num in the worker score structure.
+ *) Update the instructions for how to get started with mod_example.
[Stas Bekman]
+
+ *) Fix PidFile to default to rel_runtimedir instead of
+ rel_logfiledir. PR 7841. [Andreas Hasenack <an...@netbank.com.br>]
- *) Use apr_atomic operations in managing the mod_mem_cache
- cache_objects for SMP scalability. (see USE_ATOMICS
- preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Add filehandle caching to mod_mem_cache. (see CACHE_FD
- preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Implement prototype mod_disk_cache for use with mod_cache.
+ *) Win32: Fix problem that caused rapid performance degradation
+ when number of connecting clients exceeded ThreadsPerChild.
[Bill Stoddard]
- *) Add a missing manualdir entry in the Debian config.layout.
- [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Stop installing libtool for APR and tell APR where it should place
- its copy of libtool (via our installbuildpath layout variable).
- [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
- when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
- should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
- transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the
- client. This prevents the backend server from being forced to hang
- around while the last few bytes are transmitted to a slow client.
- Fix the case where no error checking was performed on the final
- brigade in the loop. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Scrap CacheMaxExpireMin and CacheDefaultExpireMin. Change
- CacheMaxExpire and CacheDefaultExpire to use seconds rather than
- hours. [Graham Leggett, Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) New Directive SSIUndefinedEcho. to change the '(none)' echoed
- for a undefined variable. [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) Proxy HTTP and CONNECT: Keep trying other addresses from the DNS
- when we can't get a socket in the specified address family. We may
- have gotten back an IPv6 address first and yet our system is not
- configured to allow IPv6 sockets. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Be more careful about recursively removing CVS directories. Make
- sure that we aren't cd'ing to their home directory first. PR: 9993
- [Aaron Bannert, James LewisMoss <dr...@lewismoss.net>]
-
- *) Add a missing errordir entry in the Debian config.layout. PR: 10067
- [Dirk-Jan Faber <di...@selwerd.nl>, Aaron Bannert,
- Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Rename the filter ordering priorities. The recent filtering fixes
- have showcased problems with their usage. Therefore, we need to
- rename them to increase the clarity. (CONTENT->RESOURCE,
- HTTP_HEADER->CONTENT_SET/PROTOCOL) [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Fix a problem in the new --enable-layout functionality where
- it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
- --bindir, etc. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
- no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before
- returning exhaustive data. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) rename apr_exploded_time_t to apr_time_exp_t (as per renames pending)
- [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>]
-
- *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
- this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
- running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
- server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
-
- *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
- This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
- mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
- passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
-
- *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
- ignored. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
- PR 9888
-
- *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
- --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
- etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
- used instead. [Thom May <th...@planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
- PR 9124, 9873, 9885
-
- *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
- regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
- to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]
-
- *) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9. [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Prevent Apache from ignoring SIGHUP due to some lingering 1.3
- cruft in piped logs and rewritemap child processes.
- [William Rowe]
-
- *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
- to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
- apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
- use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
- [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Fixed a segfault parsing large SSIs on non-mmap systems.
+ [Brian Havard]
- *) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.
- [Ralf S. Engelschall, Cliff Woolley]
+ *) Proxy was bombing out every second keepalive request, caused by a
+ stray CRLF before the second response's status line. Proxy now
+ tries to read one more line if it encounters a CRLF where it
+ expected a status. PR 10010 [Graham Leggett]
- *) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
- [Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
+ *) Deprecated the apr_lock.h API. Please see the following files
+ for the improved thread and process locking and signaling:
+ apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
+ apr_thread_cond.h, and apr_global_mutex.h. [Aaron Bannert]
- *) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules
- to lookup filter handles so they can bypass the filter name
- lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
+ *) Change mod_status to use scoreboard accessor functions so it can
+ be used in any MPM without having to be recompiled.
[Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]
- *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
- bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
- non-keepalive requests. [Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]
-
- *) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
- file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers. [William Rowe]
- PR 9898
-
- *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
- multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
- controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
- process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
- as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
- [Jos Backus <jo...@cncdsl.com>, Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Convert mod_auth_digest to use the new apr_global_mutex_t
- type. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) fix bug in mod-include where it wouldn't send a unmatched
- part if it was at the end of a bucket [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) worker MPM: Improve logging of errors with the interface between
- the listener thread and worker threads. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
- single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
- are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
- client. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
- header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
- previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
- values (like cookies) going missing.
- [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive]
-
- *) Add the server-limit and thread-limit values to the scoreboard
- for the sake of third-party applications.
- [Adam Sussman <my...@vishnu.vidya.com>]
-
- *) Fix segfault when proxy recieves an invalid HTTP response [Ian Holsman]
-
- *) OS/390: Get make install to properly copy DSO modules.
- [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Win32: Fix bug in mod_status with displaying "Restart Time"
- and "Server uptime".
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Fix IPv6 name-based virtual hosts. [Jeff Trawick]
-
- *) Introduce AddOutputFilterByType directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
-
- *) Fix DEBUG_CGI support in mod_cgi. PR 9670, 9671.
- [David MacKenzie <dj...@pix.net>]
-
- *) Fix incorrect check for script_in in mod_cgi. PR 9669.
- [David MacKenzie <dj...@pix.net>]
-
- *) Fix segfault and display error when SSLMutex file can not be
- created. [Adam Sussman <my...@vishnu.vidya.com>]
-
- *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
- better manage removing objects from the cache.
- [Bill Stoddard]
-
- *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
- Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
- get anonymous shared memory by default. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
- we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
- is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
- not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
- fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
- DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
- ability to access our scoreboard. [Aaron Bannert]
-
- *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
- Content-Lengths. [Sander Striker <st...@apache.org>]
-
- *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
- no <Directory /> block. [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
+ *) Fix parsing of some AP_DECLARE_DATA declarations so that the filter
+ handle declarations are recognized. This fixes problems loading
+ mod_autoindex on some platforms. [Brian Havard]
- *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
- keep-alive logic. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
+ *) add optional fixup hook to proxy [Daniel Lopez <da...@covalent.net>]
- *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
- of the cgid process. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) Remind the admin about the User and Group directives when we are
+ unable to set permissions on a semaphore. PR 7812 [Jeff Trawick]
- *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
- (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case. [Aaron Bannert]
+ *) fix possible compilation problem in ssl_engine_kernel.c. PR 7802
+ [Doug MacEachern]
- *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
- worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them. [Brian Pane]
+ *) fix possible infinite loop in mod_ssl triggered by certain
+ netscape clients [Doug MacEachern]
- *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process. Instead,
- the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
- child processes. [Ryan Bloom]
+ *) fix ProxyPass when frontend is https and backend is http
+ [Doug MacEachern]
-
+ *) Add DASL support to mod_dav
+ [Sung Kim <hu...@cse.ucsc.edu>]
