78b.preserve_redirect_method.patch

[ra...@madhaus.utcs.utoronto.ca]

In an effort to try to prevent patch 78 from being vetoed, I have
cleaned up the points which were brought out to be troublesome.  I
have placed "78b.preserve_redirect_method.patch" at
ftp.apache.org:/httpd/incoming.

Here is the text from the top of the patch:

From: asussman@vidya.com (Adam Sussman)
Subject: Preserve HTTP Method accross an internal redirect.
Affects: http_request.c mod_cgi.c
ChangeLog: The current internal_redirect code always hard sets the new request
        to a GET method.  This is not always desireable.  This patch causes
        internal_redirect to preserve the original request method except in
        the case of a redirect from the CGI module.

From: rasmus@madhaus.utcs.utoronto.ca (Rasmus Lerdorf)
Subject: Custom error reporting needs to be GET method
ChangeLog: Error reporting internal redirects needs to be forced to the
           GET method.  Original patch 78 did not do this.  Also fixed
           a spurious pstrdup() call in that original patch.
