1 Changes with Apache 2.1.0-dev
3 [Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
5 *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
6 ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
7 Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
9 *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
10 [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
12 *) mod_log_config: Fix a bug which prevented request completion time
13 from being logged for I_INSIST_ON_EXTRA_CYCLES_FOR_CLF_COMPLIANCE
14 processing. PR 29696. [Alois Treindl <alois astro.ch>]
16 *) initialize server arrays prior to calling ap_setup_prelinked_modules
17 so that static modules can push Defines values when registering
18 hooks just like DSO modules can ["Philippe M. Chiasson" <gozer cpan.org>]
20 *) Add -l option to rotatelogs to let it use local time rather than
21 UTC. PR 24417. [Ken Coar, Uli Zappe <uli ritual.org>]
23 *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
24 Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
25 ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
28 *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length
29 e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]
31 *) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
32 file name. PR 29003. [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]
34 *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLUserName" directive to set r->user based on a
35 chosen SSL environment variable. PR 20957.
36 [Martin v. Loewis <martin v.loewis.de>]
38 *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
39 OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
40 than the client's. PR 28665.
41 [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
43 *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
44 SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
47 *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
48 even when Accept-Encoding is not present. [Justin Erenkrantz]
50 *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
51 them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3. PR 28815
52 [Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
54 *) Enable the option to support anonymous shared memory in mod_ldap.
55 This makes the cache work on Linux again. [Graham Leggett]

59 of the server specified. PR 24922
60 [Pascal Terjan <pterjan@linuxfr.org>]
62 *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048

74 and ap_process_resource_config. [André Malo]
76 *) Include directives no longer refuse to process symlinks on

79 at compile time using the -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DIR_DEPTH switch.
80 PR 28492. [André Malo]
82 *) Recursive Include directives no longer crash. The server stops
83 including configuration files after a certain nesting level (128
84 as distributed). This is configurable at compile time using the
85 -DAP_MAX_INCLUDE_DEPTH switch. PR 28370. [André Malo]
87 *) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
90 *) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.
93 *) mod_headers: Allow 'echo' also for ErrorHeaders. [André Malo]

98 PR 22030, 18348. [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]
100 *) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
101 new output filter 'INFLATE' for uncompressing responses.
102 [Nick Kew <Nick at WebThing dot com>, Ian Holsman]
104 *) Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
105 configuration containers. [André Malo]

108 argument is not recognized as an URL, assume it's a mail address.
109 PR 28174. [André Malo]
111 *) mod_rewrite no longer confuses the RewriteMap caches if
112 different maps defined in different virtual hosts use the
113 same map name. PR 26462. [André Malo]
115 *) mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
116 format is used. PR 27787. [André Malo]
118 *) mod_usertrack: Escape the cookie name before pasting into the
121 *) Enable special ErrorDocument value 'default' which restores the
122 canned server response for the scope of the directive.
125 *) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
126 status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
129 *) mod_rewrite now officially supports RewriteRules in <Proxy> sections.
130 PR 27985. [André Malo]
132 *) mod_cgid: Don't allow Scriptsock to be specified inside VirtualHost;
133 Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
134 actual server root. PR 27886. [Jeff Trawick]
136 *) work around MSIE Digest auth bug - if AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack
137 is set in r->subprocess_env allow mismatched query strings to pass.
138 PR 27758. [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>, Geoffrey Young]

144 "ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured. PR 20183.
145 [Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]
147 *) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize
148 directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread
149 stack size for threads which handle client connections. Required
150 for some third-party modules on platforms with small default
151 thread stack size. [Jeff Trawick]
153 *) mod_rewrite: Support for recognizing SSL variables in RewriteCond
154 using the new "SSL:" format. [Joe Orton, Madhusudan Mathihalli]
156 *) mod_setenvif: Remove "support" for Remote_User variable which
157 never worked at all. PR 25725. [André Malo]
159 *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync. mod_auth_basic
160 now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
161 and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
165 *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
166 the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).

170 newer levels of the OS. [Paul Querna <chip force-elite.com>]
172 *) Delete some make-generated files in the server directory during
173 "make clean" processing. PR 26552. [Jeff Trawick]
175 *) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
176 accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
179 *) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
180 as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
181 rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
182 mode. PR 25635. [André Malo]
184 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
185 the [handler=...] flag. [André Malo]
187 *) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns

241 filesystem name are rejected with 403. [Jeff Trawick]
243 *) Switch to APR 1.0 API.
245 *) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
246 is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases
247 that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
248 incompatible change of mod_include's external API. [André Malo]
250 *) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
251 PR 14223. [André Malo]
253 *) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
254 the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
255 strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493. [André Malo]
257 *) Change Listen directive to bind to all addresses when a hostname is
258 not specified. [Justin Erenkrantz]
260 *) Correct failure with Listen directives on machines with IPv6 enabled.

268 type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews. [André Malo]
270 *) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
273 *) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
274 hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
277 *) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
278 the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable. [André Malo]
280 *) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
281 which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
284 *) mod_speling: Recognize AcceptPathInfo setting for the particular
285 location. Default is to reject path information. PR 21059.
288 *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to filter request bodies.

291 *) Fix some broken log messages in WinNT MPM.
292 [Juan Rivera <Juan.Rivera citrix.com>]
294 *) prefork MPM: Use the right permissions for the directory created
295 for gprof support. [Jim Carlson <jcarlson jnous.com>]
297 *) Fix a compile failure with recent OpenSSL and picky compilers
298 (e.g., OpenSSL 0.9.7a and xlc_r on AIX). [Jeff Trawick]
300 *) OpenSSL headers should be included as "openssl/ssl.h", and not rely on
301 the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.
302 PR 11310. [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
304 *) Modify APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT to detect SSL-C. [Madhusudan Mathihalli]

308 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
310 *) change directive name from 'compressionlevel' to 'deflatecompressionlevel'
311 [Ian Holsman, André Malo]
313 *) mod_negotiation: quality values are now parsed independent from
314 the current locale. level values are now really parsed as integers.
315 PR 17564. [André Malo]
317 *) Extend mod_negotiation to evaluate the environment variables
318 no-gzip and gzip-only-text/html the same way as mod_deflate does.
321 *) mod_rewrite: Fix some problems reporting errors with mapping
322 programs (RewriteMap prg:/something). [Jeff Trawick]
324 *) Return 413 if chunk-ext-header is too long rather than reading from
325 the truncated line. PR 15857. [Justin Erenkrantz]
327 *) Allow restart of httpd to occur even with syntax errors in the config
328 file. PR 16813. [Justin Erenkrantz]

345 *) Forward port of mod_actions' ability to handle arbitrary methods
346 with the Script directive. [André Malo]
348 *) Let suexec send a message to stderr, if it failed or its policy
349 was violated. This message appears in the error log and allows
350 for easier debugging. PR 5381, 7638, 8255, 10773. [André Malo]
352 *) Modify buildconf to copy all required files into httpd's tree.
353 [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
355 *) Allow mod_dav to do weak entity comparison functions.
358 *) Move RFC 1413 ident requests from core to new module mod_ident.

362 and "Require file-group", which was already present in version
365 *) Add mod_dav_lock - a generic subset of the DAV locking implementation.
368 *) Replace some of the mutex locking in the worker MPM with
369 atomic operations for higher concurrency. [Brian Pane]
371 *) Allow 'make depend' to work with non-GCC compilers.
374 *) If an httpd.conf has commented out AddModule directives,
375 apxs -i -a will add an un-commented AddModule directive for
376 the new module, which breaks the config.
377 PR: 11212 [Joe Orton]
379 *) Fix mod_proxy handling of filtered input bodies. [Justin Erenkrantz]
381 *) Move the check of the Expect request header field after the hook

489 *) Quotes cannot be used around require group and require dn
490 directives, update the documentation to reflect this. Also add
491 quotes around the dn and group within debug messages, to make it
492 more obvious why authentication is failing if quotes are used in
493 error. PR 19304. [Graham Leggett]

560 bucket brigades containing multiple file buckets all referencing
561 the same open file descriptor. [Bojan Smojver]
563 *) Fix memory corruption problem with ap_custom_response() function.
564 The core per-dir config would later point to request pool data

569 server hang when number of Listen directives in httpd.conf
570 is greater than or equal to the setting of ThreadsPerChild.

575 *) SECURITY: CAN-2004-0174 (cve.mitre.org)
576 Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived
577 connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a
578 child to hold the accept mutex and block out new connections until
579 another connection arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket.
580 With Apache 2.x there is no performance concern about enabling the
581 logic for platforms which don't need it, so it is enabled everywhere
582 except for Win32. [Jeff Trawick]
584 *) mod_cgid: Fix storage corruption caused by use of incorrect pool.
587 *) Win32: find_read_listeners was not correctly handling multiple

1914 buffers into a single buffer. However, we destroyed the pointers
1915 to the header buffer if a trailer buffer was present. PR 10781
1918 *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to enable or disable a filter via
1919 an environment variable. Add the ability to register a filter of
1920 type other than AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE. [Jeff Trawick]
1922 *) Restore the ability to specify host names on Listen directives.

1927 deciding that we should default to AF_INET6. This fixes a startup
1928 problem on certain levels of OpenUNIX. PR 10235. [Jeff Trawick]
1930 *) Replace usage of atol() to parse strings when we might want a
1931 larger-than-long value with apr_atoll(), which returns long long.
1932 This allows HTTPD to deal with larger files correctly.
1933 [Shantonu Sen <ssen apple.com>]
1935 *) mod_ext_filter: Ignore any content-type parameters when checking if
1936 the response should be filtered. Previously, "intype=text/html"
1937 wouldn't match something like "text/html;charset=8859_1".
1940 *) mod_ext_filter: Set up environment variables for external programs.
1941 [Craig Sebenik <craig netapp.com>]
1943 *) Modified the HTTP_IN filter to immediately append the EOS (end of

1973 *) Performance improvements for the code that reads request
1974 headers (ap_rgetline_core() and related functions) [Brian Pane]
1976 *) Add a new directive: MaxMemFree. MaxMemFree makes it possible
1977 to configure the maximum amount of memory the allocators will
1978 hold on to for reuse. Anything over the MaxMemFree threshold
1979 will be free()d. This directive is useful when uncommon large
1980 peaks occur in memory usage. It should _not_ be used to mask
1981 defective modules' memory use. [Sander Striker]
1983 *) Fixed the Content-Length filter so that HTTP/1.0 requests to CGI
1984 scripts would not result in a truncated response.
1985 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley]
1987 *) Add a filter_init parameter to the filter registration functions
1988 so that a filter can execute arbitrary code before the handlers
1989 are invoked. This resolves a problem where mod_include requests
1990 would incorrectly return a 304. [Justin Erenkrantz]
1992 *) Fix a long-standing bug in 2.0, CGI scripts were being called
1993 with relative paths instead of absolute paths. Apache 1.3 used
1994 absolute paths for everything except for SuExec, this brings back
1995 that standard. [Ryan Bloom]
1997 *) Fix infinite loop due to two HTTP_IN filters being present for
1998 internally redirected requests. PR 10146. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2000 *) Switch conn_rec->keepalive to an enumeration rather than a bitfield.
2003 *) Fix mod_ext_filter to look in the main server for filter definitions
2004 when running in a vhost if the filter definition is not found in
2005 the vhost. PR 10147 [Jeff Trawick]
2007 *) Support WinNT CGI invocation through ScriptInterpreterSource
2008 'registry' for script interpreter paths and names with non-ascii
2009 characters in the executable filepath. [William Rowe]
2011 *) Support the -w flag on to keep the Win32 console open on error.
2014 *) Normalize the hostname value in the request_rec to all-lowercase
2015 [Perry Harrington <pedward webcom.com>]
2017 *) Fix WinNT cgi 500 errors when QUERY_ARGS or other strings include
2018 extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format. This brings
2019 Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up
2020 to the cgi application itself. [William Rowe]
2022 *) Major overhaul of mod_dav, mod_dav_fs and the experimental/cache
2023 modules to bring them up to the current apr/apr-util APIs.
2026 *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache most frequently observed when
2027 serving the same file to multiple clients on an MP machine.
2030 *) mod_rewrite can now set cookies (RewriteRule (.*) - [CO=name:$1:.domain])

2040 to the client if an shtml document contained an unterminated SSI
2041 directive [Brian Pane]
2043 *) Improve ap_get_client_block implementation by using APR-util brigade
2044 helper functions and relying on current filter assumptions.
2047 Changes with Apache 2.0.39
2049 *) Fixed a build problem in htpasswd.c on Win32.
2050 [Guenter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>, Cliff Woolley]
2052 Changes with Apache 2.0.38
2054 *) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR. The removes the annoying warning about
2055 tmpnam being unsafe. [Ryan Bloom]
2057 *) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
2058 to be parsed for SSI tags. Add the config for that to the default
2059 config file so that it is easier to enable .shtml parsing.
2060 [Dave Dyer <ddyer real-me.net>]
2062 *) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix.
2063 [Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
2065 *) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
2066 another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory
2067 is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't
2068 loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2070 *) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
2071 PR 9866 [Brian Pane]
2073 *) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install
2074 into a directory different from the one that was configured. This
2075 also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=,
2076 because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at
2077 configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix
2078 to replace. [Andreas Hasenack <andreas netbank.com.br>]
2080 *) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
2081 These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
2082 accept(). [Jeff Trawick]
2084 *) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For
2085 certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
2086 should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
2087 mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick]
2089 *) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
2090 early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
2091 from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
2092 to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
2094 *) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
2095 Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
2097 *) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
2098 hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
2101 *) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
2102 utility. [Brad Nicholes]
2104 *) Fix some casting in mod_rewrite which broke random maps.

2137 *) Fix apxs to allow "apxs -q installbuilddir" and to allow
2138 querying certain other variables from config_vars.mk. PR 9316
2141 *) Added the "detached" attribute to the cgi_exec_info_t internals

2155 besides server-root/build. PR 8453
2156 [Jeff Trawick and a host of others]
2158 *) Allow ap_discard_request_body to be called multiple times in the

2160 it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
2161 send an EOS bucket for this request.
2162 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein]
2164 *) Remove all special mod_ssl URIs. This also fixes the bug where
2165 redirecting (.*) will allow an SSL protected page to be viewed
2166 without SSL. [Ryan Bloom]
2168 *) Fix the binary build install script so that the build logic
2169 created by "apxs -g" will work when the user has a binary
2170 build. [Jeff Trawick]
2172 *) Allow instdso.sh to work with full paths to the shared module.
2175 *) NetWare: Enabled CGI functionality and added mod_cgi as a built
2176 in module for NetWare [Brad Nicholes]
2178 *) Changed cgi and piped log behavior to accept 65536 characters
2179 on Win32 (matching Linux) before deadlocking between outputing
2180 client stdin, slurping the output from stdout and then the stderr
2181 stream. PR 8179 [William Rowe]
2183 *) Fixed Win32 wintty.exe support to assure the window title is valid.
2184 Elimiates possible gpfault or garbage title without the -t option.
2187 *) Rewrite mod_cgi, mod_cgid, and mod_proxy input handling to use

2218 stripping the content_type from cached responses.
2221 *) apachectl passes through any httpd options. Note: apachectl

2454 explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
2455 to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
2456 Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
2457 messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
2458 the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
2459 the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
2460 minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
2462 *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would

2476 *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
2477 clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
2478 on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
2479 it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
2480 and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
2481 that requirement. [Sander Striker]

2492 *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garabge collecting an expired
2493 cache entry. [Bill Stoddard]
2495 *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
2496 to begin logging errors immediately. This provides Win32 users
2497 an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
2498 allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.

2584 "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
2585 [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]
2587 *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to
2588 cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
2589 -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).
2592 *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
2593 for those platforms that support it. If using the default
2594 implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
2595 This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]
2597 *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
2598 environment variables in the envvars file. [Jeff Trawick]
2600 *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker

2636 removed. This does not affect scoreboards which are *mapped* to
2637 files using named-shared-memory. [Jim Jagielski]
2639 *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be

2680 *) Fix a mod_cgid problem that left daemon processes stranded

2683 *) Added exp_foo and rel_foo variables to config_vars.mk for
2684 all Apache and Autoconf path variables (like --sysconfdir,
2685 --sbindir, etc). exp_foo is the "expanded" version, which means
2686 that all internal variable references have been interpolated.
2687 rel_foo is the same as $exp_foo, only relative to $prefix if they
2688 share a common path. [Aaron Bannert]
2690 *) Fix some restart/terminate problems in the worker MPM. Don't

2779 *) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
2780 should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
2781 transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the

2815 it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
2816 --bindir, etc. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
2818 *) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
2819 no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before
2820 returning exhaustive data. [Aaron Bannert]
2822 *) rename apr_exploded_time_t to apr_time_exp_t (as per renames pending)
2823 [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
2825 *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
2826 this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
2827 running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
2828 server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
2830 *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
2831 This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
2832 mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
2833 passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
2835 *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
2836 ignored. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
2839 *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
2840 --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
2841 etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
2842 used instead. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
2845 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
2846 regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
2847 to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]
2849 *) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2851 *) Prevent Apache from ignoring SIGHUP due to some lingering 1.3
2852 cruft in piped logs and rewritemap child processes.
2855 *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
2856 to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
2857 apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
2858 use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
2861 *) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.
2862 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Cliff Woolley]
2864 *) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
2865 [Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
2867 *) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules
2868 to lookup filter handles so they can bypass the filter name
2869 lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
2870 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
2872 *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
2873 bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
2874 non-keepalive requests. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
2876 *) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
2877 file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers. [William Rowe]
2880 *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
2881 multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
2882 controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
2883 process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
2884 as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
2885 [Jos Backus <josb cncdsl.com>, Aaron Bannert]
2887 *) Convert mod_auth_digest to use the new apr_global_mutex_t
2888 type. [Aaron Bannert]
2890 *) fix bug in mod-include where it wouldn't send a unmatched
2891 part if it was at the end of a bucket [Ian Holsman]
2893 *) worker MPM: Improve logging of errors with the interface between
2894 the listener thread and worker threads. [Jeff Trawick]
2896 *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
2897 single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
2898 are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
2899 client. [Graham Leggett]
2901 *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
2902 header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
2903 previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
2904 values (like cookies) going missing.
2905 [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive]
2907 *) Add the server-limit and thread-limit values to the scoreboard
2908 for the sake of third-party applications.
2909 [Adam Sussman <myddryn vishnu.vidya.com>]
2911 *) Fix segfault when proxy recieves an invalid HTTP response [Ian Holsman]
2913 *) OS/390: Get make install to properly copy DSO modules.
2916 *) Win32: Fix bug in mod_status with displaying "Restart Time"
2917 and "Server uptime".
2920 *) Fix IPv6 name-based virtual hosts. [Jeff Trawick]
2922 *) Introduce AddOutputFilterByType directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2924 *) Fix DEBUG_CGI support in mod_cgi. PR 9670, 9671.
2925 [David MacKenzie <djm pix.net>]
2927 *) Fix incorrect check for script_in in mod_cgi. PR 9669.
2928 [David MacKenzie <djm pix.net>]
2930 *) Fix segfault and display error when SSLMutex file can not be
2931 created. [Adam Sussman <myddryn vishnu.vidya.com>]
2933 *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
2934 better manage removing objects from the cache.
2937 *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
2938 Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
2939 get anonymous shared memory by default. [Aaron Bannert]
2941 *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
2942 we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
2943 is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
2944 not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
2945 fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
2946 DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
2947 ability to access our scoreboard. [Aaron Bannert]
2949 *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
2950 Content-Lengths. [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
2952 *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
2953 no <Directory /> block. [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
2955 *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
2956 keep-alive logic. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
2958 *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
2959 of the cgid process. [Aaron Bannert]
2961 *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
2962 (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case. [Aaron Bannert]
2964 *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
2965 worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them. [Brian Pane]
2967 *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process. Instead,
2968 the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
2969 child processes. [Ryan Bloom]
2971 Changes with Apache 2.0.32
2973 *) mod_negotiation: ForceLanguagePriority now uses 'Prefer' as the
2974 default if the directive is not specified. This mirrors older
2975 behavior without changes to the httpd.conf. [William Rowe]
2977 *) Win32: solve the win32 service problems in 2.0.31-alpha, by fixing
2978 the service, mpm and logging code, and bugs in apr_file_open_stderr
2979 and apr_file_dup2 functions. Win2K/XP services have no handles
2980 associated for stdin/out/err, which caused unpredictable behavior
2981 in the prior release. [William Rowe, Bill Stoddard]
2983 *) Win32: simplify the Application Event Log messages, since there isn't
2984 likely to be 'more information in the error log' before an error log
2985 has been opened. [William Rowe]
2987 *) Win32: substantial cleanup to the mpm_winnt code for legibility and
2988 to follow the program flow of other MPMs. [Ryan Bloom, William Rowe]
2990 *) Win32: apache -k shutdown now behaves like apache -k stop.
2993 *) Fix prefork to not kill the parent if a child hits a resource shortage
2994 on accept(). [Greg Ames]
2996 *) Fix seg faults that occur when what should be the httpd request line
2997 starts with \r\n followed by garbage. [Greg Ames]
2999 *) Allow statically linked support binaries with the new
3000 --enable-static-support flag, and enable this behavior in
3001 the binbuild script. Also add a new --enable-static-htdbm
3002 flag. [Aaron Bannert]
3004 *) Allow mod_autoindex to serve symlinks if permitted and attempt to
3005 do only one stat() call when generating the directory listings.
3008 *) Fix resolve_symlink to save the original symlink name if known.
3011 *) Be a bit more sane with regard to CanonicalNames. If the user has
3012 specified they want to use the CanonicalName, but they have not
3013 configured a port with the ServerName, then use the same port that
3014 the original request used. [Ryan Bloom and Ken Coar]
3016 *) In core_input_filter, check for an empty brigade after
3017 APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE(). Otherwise, we can get segfaults if a
3018 client says it will post some data but we get FIN before any
3019 data arrives. [Jeff Trawick]
3021 *) Not being able to bind to the socket is a fatal error. We should
3022 print an error to the console, and return a non-zero status code.
3023 With these changes, all of the Unix MPMs do that correctly.
3026 *) suexec: Allow HTTPS and SSL_* environment variables to be passed
3027 through to CGI scripts. PR 9163
3028 [Brian Reid <breid customlogic.com>,
3029 Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
3031 *) binbuild.sh: Make sure that we use the expat from our source
3032 tree so that there aren't any surprises on the target machine.
3035 *) mod_cgid: Add retry logic for when the daemon can't fork fast
3036 enough to keep up with new requests. Start using
3037 HTTP_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE instead of HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
3038 when we can't talk to the daemon. [Jeff Trawick]
3040 *) apxs: LTFLAGS envvar can override default libtool options. Try
3041 "LTFLAGS=' ' apxs -c mod_foo.c" to see what libtool does under
3042 the covers. [Jeff Trawick]
3044 *) The Location: response header field, used for external
3045 redirect, *must* be an absoluteURI. The Redirect directive
3046 tested for that, but RedirectMatch didn't -- it would allow
3047 almost anything through. Now it will try to turn an abs_path
3048 into an absoluteURI, but it will correctly varf like Redirect
3049 if the final redirection target isn't an absoluteURI. [Ken Coar]
3051 Changes with Apache 2.0.31
3053 *) Create the scoreboard (in the parent) in a global pool context,
3054 so it survives graceful restarts. This fixes a SEGV during
3055 graceful restarts. [Aaron Bannert]
3057 *) Add a timeout option to the proxy code 'ProxyTimeout'
3060 *) FTP directory listings are now always retrieved in ASCII mode.
3061 The FTP proxy properly escapes URI's and HTML in the generated
3062 listing, and escapes the path components when talking to the FTP
3063 server. It is now possible to browse the root directory by using
3064 a url like: ftp://user@host/%2f/ (ported from apache_1.3.24)
3065 Also, the last path component may contain wildcard characters
3066 '*' and '?', and if they do, a directory listing is created instead
3067 of a file retrieval. Example: ftp://user@host/httpd/server/*.c
3070 *) Added single-listener unserialized accept support to the
3071 worker MPM [Brian Pane]
3073 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: 'ProxyPreserveHost'. This passes
3074 the incoming host header through to the proxied server
3075 [Geoff <g.russell ieee.org>]
3077 *) New Directive Option for ProxyPass. It now can block a location
3078 from being proxied [Jukka Pihl <jukka.pihl entirem.com>]
3080 *) Don't let the default handler try to serve a raw directory. At
3081 best you get gibberish. Much worse things can happen depending
3082 on the OS. [Jeff Trawick]
3084 *) Change the pre_config hook to return a value. Modules can now emit
3085 an error message and then cause the server to quit gracefully during
3086 startup. This required a bump to the MMN. [Aaron Bannert]
3088 *) Fix some unix socket descriptor leaks in the handler side of
3089 mod_cgid (the part that runs in the server process). Whack a
3090 silly "close(-1)" in the handler too. [Jeff Trawick]
3092 *) Change the pre_mpm hook to return a value, so that scoreboard
3093 init errors percolate up to code that knows how to exit
3094 cleanly. This required a bump to the MMN. [Jeff Trawick]
3096 *) Add the socket back to the conn_rec and remove the create_connection
3097 hook. The create_connection hook had a design flaw that did not
3098 allow creating connections based on vhost info. [Bill Stoddard]
3100 *) Fixed PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING from mod_negotiation results.
3101 Resolves the common case of using negotation to resolve the request
3102 /script/foo for /script.cgi/foo. [William Rowe]
3104 *) Added new functions ap_add_(input|output)_filter_handle to
3105 allow modules to bypass the usual filter name lookup when
3106 adding hard-coded filters to a request [Brian Pane]
3108 *) caching should now work on subrequests (still very experimental)
3111 *) The Win32 mpm_winnt now has a shared scoreboard. [William Rowe]
3113 *) Change ap_get_brigade prototype to use apr_off_t instead of apr_off_t*.
3116 *) Refactor ap_rgetline so that it does not use an internal brigade.
3117 Change ap_rgetline's prototype to return errors. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3119 *) Remove mod_auth_db. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3121 *) Do not install unnecessary pcre headers like config.h and internal.h.
3122 [Joe Orton <joe manyfish.co.uk>]
3124 *) Change in quick_hanlder behavior for subrequests. it now passes DONE
3125 (as it does for a normal request). quick_handled sub-requests now work
3126 in mod-include [Ian Holsman]
3128 *) Change SUBREQ_CORE so that it is a 'HTTP_HEADER' filter instead of
3129 'CONTENT' one, as it needs to run AFTER all content headers
3131 *) Rename BeOS MPM directive RequestsPerThread to MaxRequestsPerThread.
3134 *) Split out blocking from the mode in the input filters.
3137 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
3139 *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in
3140 Apache to the main server error log, until the child can
3141 open its own error logs. [William Rowe]
3143 *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept()
3144 returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. (ported from th 1.3 patch)
3145 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>, Bill Stoddard]
3147 *) Fix a problem in the parsing of the <Proxy foo> directive.
3150 *) rewrite of mod_ssl input filter for better performance and less
3151 memory usage [Doug MacEachern]
3153 *) allow quick_handler to be run on subrequests. [Ian Holsman]
3155 *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the
3156 filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
3157 API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]
3159 *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
3160 we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
3161 This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
3162 the returned socket if it was non-NULL. [Brian Pane]
3164 *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
3165 to avoid segfaults. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
3167 *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
3168 data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs. MMN
3169 bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
3170 the core_dir_config structure. [Ken Coar]
3172 *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
3173 wrong config to ap_get_remote_host(). [Jeff Trawick]
3175 *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
3176 using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
3179 *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
3180 the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
3182 *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core,
3183 mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
3184 modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former
3185 compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule
3186 directives. [William Rowe]
3188 *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by
3189 duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include
3190 directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe]
3192 *) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL:
3193 Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL
3194 structures wherever possible.
3195 Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer.
3196 Add $SSL/include to configure search path.
3197 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
3199 *) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is
3200 more portable, and will present the vhost name across server
3201 generation restarts. [William Rowe]
3203 *) Fix SSLPassPhraseDialog exec: and SSLRandomSeed exec:
3206 Changes with Apache 2.0.30
3208 *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are
3209 still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now
3210 run without crashing the machine.
3211 [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
3213 *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section.
3214 [albert chin <china thewrittenword.com>]
3216 *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
3217 and handling CONNECT:
3218 (1) PR #9190 Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
3219 (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by
3220 the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.
3223 *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
3224 modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
3225 listed as config_log_module). PR #9338
3226 [James Watson <ap2bug sowega.org>]
3228 *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP
3229 filter. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3231 *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns
3232 an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line.
3235 *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the
3236 end of the status line returned from the proxied server.
3237 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
3239 *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read().
3240 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
3242 *) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing.
3245 *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]
3247 *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
3248 returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
3249 when using Multiviews. [William Rowe]
3251 *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
3252 together reliably [Greg Ames]
3254 *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
3255 phase. [Aaron Bannert]
3257 *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
3258 problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
3261 *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
3262 child process exits. [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]
3264 *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
3266 *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
3267 vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
3268 that address. [Jeff Trawick]
3270 *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
3271 used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]
3273 *) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
3274 string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
3275 the stack [Brian Pane]
3277 *) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
3278 directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]
3280 *) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
3282 *) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
3283 if oslevel < WINNT. This should fix several problems reported
3284 Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
3286 *) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
3287 to fail. [Bill Stoddard]
3289 *) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
3290 limits at startup. prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have
3291 directives to set these limits. [Jeff Trawick]
3293 *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
3294 successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
3295 eliminates a number of spurious
3296 setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
3299 *) Move any load library path environment variables out of
3300 apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
3301 can be more easily tailored by the admin. The environment
3302 variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
3303 specific settings. For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
3304 settings to allow lots of threads. [Jeff Trawick]
3306 *) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
3307 contention in the worker MPM. [Sander Striker]
3309 *) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
3310 and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
3311 perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
3312 had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
3313 127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
3314 messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
3317 *) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
3318 avoid locking problems with NFS. [Jeff Trawick]
3320 *) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
3321 [Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
3323 *) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
3324 working with more than one vhost/uid. [Aaron Bannert]
3326 *) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to
3327 perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install
3328 mod_foo.so. This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX
3329 which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
3332 *) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
3333 our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
3334 loading third-party modules. This allows third-party DSOs to
3335 be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
3336 built as DSOs. (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
3339 *) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
3340 user to hard-code the list of import files. (This should help
3341 on OS/390 and BeOS as well.) [Jeff Trawick]
3343 *) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.
3344 PR 8563, 8919 [William Rowe]
3346 *) Get binary builds working when libapr and libaprutil are built
3349 *) Get shared builds of libapr and libaprutil, as well as Apache DSOs,
3350 working on AIX. [Aaron Bannert, Dick Dunbar <RLDunbar pacbell.net>,
3351 Gary Hook <ghook us.ibm.com>, Victor Orlikowski, Jeff Trawick]
3353 *) Fix the handling of SSI directives in which the ">" of the
3354 terminating "-->" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane]
3356 *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)"
3357 message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered
3358 throughout our docs. [Aaron Bannert]
3360 *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an
3361 error in the command line args to apache. [William Rowe]
3363 *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log
3366 *) Various mod_ssl performance improvements [Doug MacEachern]
3368 Changes with Apache 2.0.29
3370 *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
3371 lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
3372 [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]
3374 *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is
3375 installed in the correct location.
3376 [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
3377 Gomez Henri <hgomez slib.fr>]
3379 *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing
3380 a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
3381 the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this,
3382 I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
3383 in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify
3384 the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]
3386 *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
3387 to flag a error while opening logs
3388 [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]
3390 *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
3391 to flag a error post config
3392 [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]
3394 *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
3395 hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
3396 script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter. [Aaron Bannert]
3398 *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
3401 *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.
3402 [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]
3404 *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
3405 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
3407 *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is
3408 configured [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
3410 *) Fix apxs to use sbindir. [Henri Gomez <hgomez slib.fr>]
3412 *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts. PR #8118 [Jeff Trawick]
3414 *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in
3415 mod_include. [Brian Pane]
3417 *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive.
3418 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>, Cliff Woolley] PR#8804
3420 *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed. Use the worker
3421 MPM instead. [various]
3423 *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id. This fixes a bug
3424 in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup. [Jeff Trawick]
3426 *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123.
3429 *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error.
3432 *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include. When we include a
3433 file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request
3434 immediately, instead we waited until the original request was
3435 done. This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is
3436 done being generated. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3438 *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to
3439 define the function that should be used to accept on that
3440 socket. Each MPM can define their own function to use for
3441 the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro. This
3442 also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling
3443 logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs.
3446 *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted
3447 when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required
3448 filters were attached to the wrong request_rec.
3449 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
3451 *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define
3452 directives that are used by MPMs. Prior to this patch,
3453 you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike
3454 the macros for any other directives. Now, the caller provides
3455 the comma rather than the macro providing it. This makes
3456 the macros look more like the rest of the directives.
3457 [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley]
3459 *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending
3460 redirects under special circumstances. This is helpful for
3461 Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via
3462 DAV methods. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3464 *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer.
3465 The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec,
3466 the server now lives in a context that is passed to the
3467 core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very
3468 careful when adding calls that use the socket directly,
3469 because the socket isn't available in most locations.
3472 *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded
3473 when the configured value is not a multiple of the number
3474 of threads per child. We said we did previously but we
3475 forgot to. [Jeff Trawick]
3477 *) Add Debian layout. [Daniel Stone <daniel sfarc.net>]
3479 *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available,
3480 produce a fatal config-time error. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3482 *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to
3483 do. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3485 *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix)
3486 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3488 Changes with Apache 2.0.28
3490 *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c.
3491 [Dale Ghent <daleg elemental.org>, Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3493 *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the
3494 server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for
3495 run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on
3496 SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of
3497 UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections
3498 work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the
3499 connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName
3500 setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated
3501 to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
3503 *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in
3504 the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman]
3506 *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and
3507 AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard
3508 MPMs. [Cliff Woolley]
3510 *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization
3511 databases. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
3513 *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk.
3514 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3516 Changes with Apache 2.0.27
3518 *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template
3519 (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3521 *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could
3522 be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests
3523 from the core input filter for single lines are now limited
3524 to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes). [Aaron Bannert]
3526 *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header.
3527 The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for
3528 the port string. [Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
3530 *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result
3531 in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged. Now we log the
3532 error. [Jeff Trawick]
3534 *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time
3535 validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive.
3538 *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is
3539 treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error;
3540 and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without
3541 APR_HAS_DSO. [Aaron Bannert]
3543 *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket
3544 gets disconnected unexpectedly. [Cliff Woolley]
3546 *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die. This removes
3547 all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache.
3548 [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]
3550 *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in
3551 mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at
3552 server graceful restart, when the child process exits
3553 by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child
3554 process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard]
3556 *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was
3557 not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable
3558 the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon
3559 the old child starting shutdown.
3562 *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that
3563 IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing
3564 and thus always returning "nobody."
3565 [Dick Streefland <Dick.Streefland xs4all.nl>]
3567 *) Introduced thread saftey for mod_rewrite's internal cache.
3568 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3570 *) Simplified mod_env's directives to behave as most directives are
3571 expected, in that UnsetEnv will not unset a SetEnv and PassEnv
3572 directive following that UnsetEnv within the same container.
3573 Also provides a runtime startup warning if a PassEnv configured
3574 environment value is undefined. [William Rowe]
3576 *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It
3577 uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes,
3578 and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert]
3580 *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated
3581 Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3583 *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project
3586 *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This
3587 is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to
3588 deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick]
3590 *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin
3591 server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules
3592 to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module
3593 is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add
3594 input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While
3595 I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request
3596 creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be
3597 greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom]
3599 Changes with Apache 2.0.26
3601 *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded
3604 *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works
3605 with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3607 *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator
3608 to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename
3609 extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with
3610 MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions
3611 that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.)
3612 or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even
3613 if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe]
3615 *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to
3616 the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled
3617 as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3619 *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering
3620 system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3622 *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but
3623 not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick]
3625 *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared.
3626 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3628 *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations
3629 required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes.
3630 Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section
3631 merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and
3632 precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip
3633 the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe]
3635 *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other
3636 WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
3638 *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive
3639 is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to
3640 listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended
3641 to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the
3642 ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it
3643 reports the port that it is listening on. This change was
3644 made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port
3645 directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server
3646 would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command,
3647 which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom]
3649 *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32
3650 build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe]
3652 *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified,
3653 then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are.
3654 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3656 *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu
3657 and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions.
3658 [Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106 uni-bonn.de>, Lars Eilebrecht]
3660 *) Eliminate the depreciated r->content_language, in favor of the array
3661 r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must
3662 substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded
3663 if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe]
3665 *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13.
3668 *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize
3669 code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and
3670 ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3672 *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family.
3675 *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the
3676 current SDK.) [William Rowe]
3678 *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed
3679 config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett]
3681 *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version
3682 of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be
3683 relocated. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3685 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
3686 of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox]
3688 *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum
3689 number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of
3690 specifying the maximum number of child processes.
3691 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3693 *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to
3694 be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3696 *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds.
3697 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3699 *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers.
3700 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
3702 *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3704 *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings
3705 to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time.
3706 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3708 *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may
3709 improve cache-hit performance under some conditions.
3710 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3712 *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that
3713 support it. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3715 *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction
3716 pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools
3717 around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the
3718 queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to
3719 state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated
3720 segments for. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3722 *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
3724 *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body.
3727 *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead
3728 property management. [Greg Stein]
3730 *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and
3731 roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable
3732 ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe]
3734 *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm
3735 to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3737 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an
3738 internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus
3739 string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom]
3741 *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes
3742 now reuse previous section merges on a <Location > by <Location >
3743 basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk.
3746 *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made
3747 us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected
3748 URI, instead of the originally requested URI.
3749 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
3751 *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to
3752 compute variables. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3754 *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should
3755 log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging
3756 the file size. [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
3758 *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather
3759 than per character. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3761 *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to
3762 run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in
3763 robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe]
3765 *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set
3766 (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
3768 *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other
3769 part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3771 *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only].
3772 This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32
3773 platform, which is the recommended configuration for native
3774 Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for
3775 cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj <tolj wapme-systems.de>]
3777 *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters
3778 must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.)
3779 The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent
3780 container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in <Directory /web/foo>
3781 will override any SetInputFilter directive in <Directory /web>.)
3782 This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter
3783 directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases
3784 where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the
3785 global configuration if the multiple directives were nested.
3788 *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething
3789 was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or
3790 Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType,
3791 but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given
3792 for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html
3793 without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to
3794 use the default content type. [William Rowe]
3796 *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache
3797 code. [Graham Leggett]
3799 Changes with Apache 2.0.25
3801 *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so
3802 that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document
3803 root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection
3804 into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer]
3806 *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using
3807 mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified
3808 user attributes in a page like so:
3809 Hello <!--#echo var="AUTHENTICATE_CN"-->, how are you?
3812 *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
3813 transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
3814 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3816 *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
3817 of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
3818 not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
3819 an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
3820 an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
3821 won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
3822 requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
3823 .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
3826 *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
3827 and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
3828 filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
3831 *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
3832 keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
3834 *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
3835 macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
3836 by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
3837 the code to check the return code from the macro and
3838 do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder]
3840 *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
3843 *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
3844 up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
3846 *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
3847 amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
3848 longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
3849 hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
3851 *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
3852 ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
3853 walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
3854 with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
3855 either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
3856 only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
3859 *) SECURITY: Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
3860 an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
3861 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
3863 *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
3864 the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
3865 shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
3866 directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c.
3869 *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter
3870 if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler.
3871 This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier
3872 to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3
3873 config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP
3874 to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom]
3876 *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always
3877 get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks
3878 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
3879 Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
3881 *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also
3882 cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using
3883 pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
3885 *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock
3887 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
3889 *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error
3890 codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the
3891 include handler return code wasn't being checked.
3892 I don't like macros with returns, so I converted
3893 SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function.
3894 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
3896 *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured
3897 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
3899 *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time
3900 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
3902 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no
3903 associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for
3904 a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick]
3906 *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick]
3908 *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy
3909 of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the
3910 call to ap_log_pid solves the problem.
3912 *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the
3913 status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more
3914 common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe]
3916 *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets
3917 (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error
3918 messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe]
3920 *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard]
3922 *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap
3923 configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf
3926 *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
3929 *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache.
3930 Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds
3931 not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately.
3934 *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP
3935 module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett]
3937 *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now
3938 cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up.
3941 *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include
3942 patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate
3943 more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed.
3946 *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap.
3947 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
3949 *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap.
3950 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
3952 *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest
3953 by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not
3954 met. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3956 Changes with Apache 2.0.24
3958 *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at
3959 offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick]
3961 *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is
3962 reached. [Jeff Trawick]
3964 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line
3965 builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions.
3966 Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users.
3969 *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better
3970 reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the
3971 default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe]
3973 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm
3974 compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites.
3975 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>, William Rowe]
3977 *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20.
3978 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
3980 *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage
3981 and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe]
3983 *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server
3984 processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and
3985 using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this
3986 combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server
3987 processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security
3988 issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
3990 *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries
3991 (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe]
3993 *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time.
3994 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
3996 *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax
3997 for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive
3998 allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or
3999 RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the
4000 setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006,
4001 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar]
4003 *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c
4004 are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards
4005 in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU
4006 make). [Jeff Trawick]
4008 *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
4010 *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all
4011 MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This
4012 should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once.
4013 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4015 *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a
4016 graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor.
4019 *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast
4020 the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit
4021 integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times.
4022 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net> and Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4024 *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you
4025 told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified
4026 time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time,
4027 so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing
4028 had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute
4029 time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we
4030 need to convert to usec's before using those values.
4033 *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It
4034 definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly.
4035 The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to
4036 just die. [Ryan Bloom]
4038 Changes with Apache 2.0.23
4040 *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various]
4042 *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32.
4043 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
4045 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for
4046 messages written to the rewrite log.
4047 [Richard Labennett <rlabenn us.ibm.com>]
4049 *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the
4050 IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting
4051 still drops the column sort <a href>'s for the column headers, but
4052 IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely.
4055 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2]
4056 to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable
4057 formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and
4058 P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments
4059 were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M
4060 as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending.
4063 *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which
4064 caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes
4065 to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley]
4067 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to
4068 drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the <hr> elements,
4069 and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies
4070 FancyIndexing). [William Rowe]
4072 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified
4073 from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given
4074 multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified
4075 stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many
4076 Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing
4077 files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe]
4079 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst
4080 and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10.
4081 [William Rowe, Ken Coar]
4083 *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache
4084 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe]
4086 *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in
4087 an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized
4088 the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'.
4091 *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept
4092 negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting
4093 to an autoindex of the directory. mod_negotiation will now die
4094 with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames
4095 (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served. mod_negotation now
4096 refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't
4097 recognize, and wasn't part of the request. [William Rowe]
4099 *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file
4100 extension. This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin
4101 wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and
4102 associate .exe files with that content type. Multiviews must be
4103 enabled to allow these to be served. [William Rowe]
4105 *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload
4106 or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes
4107 when they are available. [Greg Ames]
4109 *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to
4110 implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a
4111 fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is
4112 only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom]
4114 *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in
4115 the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then
4116 the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to
4117 stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error.
4120 *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands
4121 and have those methods <limit>able in the httpd.conf. It uses
4122 the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods
4123 such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to
4124 an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than
4125 an int provides. [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4127 *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible
4128 cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe]
4130 *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with
4131 help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall,
4132 Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
4133 Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley]
4135 *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's.
4136 Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't
4137 count workers in processes which aren't actively
4138 serving requests. [Greg Ames]
4140 *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard]
4142 *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is
4143 definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many
4144 of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a
4145 modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom]
4147 *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer
4148 compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0
4149 Transitional specifications. [William Rowe]
4151 Changes with Apache 2.0.22
4153 *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or
4154 segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using
4155 the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames]
4157 *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's
4158 server version string, including loaded and advertised modules.
4161 *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from
4162 missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter,
4163 create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and
4164 fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from
4165 the build environment. [William Rowe]
4167 *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized
4168 apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick]
4170 *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption
4171 when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config.
4174 *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>
4175 where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for
4176 files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This
4177 problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite
4178 of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard]
4180 *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after
4181 restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the
4182 previous generation was being left around under certain
4183 conditions. [Greg Ames]
4185 *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars
4186 used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren.
4187 [Günter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>]
4189 *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had
4190 work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and
4191 #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c
4192 file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing.
4193 [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
4195 Changes with Apache 2.0.21
4197 *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be
4198 overwritten, regardless of the -c flag.
4199 [William Rowe, Mladen Turk <mladen.turk mail.inet.hr>]
4201 *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime
4202 of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows
4203 its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts.
4206 *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management
4207 modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is
4208 created, and at every restart request.
4209 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4211 *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and
4212 added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest
4213 daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also
4214 updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder]
4216 *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by
4217 the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process
4218 etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes
4219 that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix,
4220 these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes
4221 prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting
4222 connections (ie, the server would hang).
4225 *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on.
4228 *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after*
4229 processing a connection so that a server processing a time-
4230 consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the
4231 parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an
4232 APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long
4233 time if there aren't server processes around to do accept().
4234 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
4236 *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime,
4237 spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default
4238 httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat
4239 large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is
4240 significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides
4241 a nice speedup. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4243 *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the
4244 scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the
4245 scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM.
4246 [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
4248 Changes with Apache 2.0.20
4250 *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would
4251 buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes
4252 down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause
4253 significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated
4254 lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard]
4256 *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades.
4259 *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache.
4262 *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all
4263 workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started
4264 was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard]
4266 Changes with Apache 2.0.19
4268 *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child
4269 process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server
4270 was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving
4271 requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to
4272 die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any
4273 new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact
4274 that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children.
4275 Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number
4276 of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in
4277 the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over
4278 MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom]
4280 *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a
4281 factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32
4282 and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results
4283 already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe]
4285 *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests
4286 slightly more efficiently. [Cliff Woolley]
4288 *) Fix problem handling FLUSH bucket in the chunked encoding filter.
4289 Module was calling ap_rwrite() followed by ap_rflush() but the
4290 served content was not being displayed in the browser. Inspection
4291 of the output stream revealed that the first data chunk was
4292 missing the trailing CRLF required by the RFC. [Bill Stoddard]
4294 *) apxs no longer generates ap_send_http_header() in the example handler
4296 *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception
4297 with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/).
4298 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
4300 *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated
4301 filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing
4302 the document to serve. [William Rowe]
4304 *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in
4305 limit. We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which
4306 led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations.
4309 *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include. The
4310 default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and
4311 MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically
4312 live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames]
4314 *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions
4315 on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field.
4316 Example: SetEnvIf ^TS* [a-z].* HAVE_TS
4317 will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins
4318 with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the
4319 set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard]
4321 *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on
4322 multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0.
4323 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
4325 *) Fix htdigest. It would go into a loop in getline when adding
4326 a second user. [Bill Stoddard]
4328 *) Win32 platforms now fully support mod_userdir options. [Will Rowe]
4330 *) Automatically generate httpd.exp for AIX.
4331 DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0
4332 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
4334 *) Add a new request hook, error_log. This phase allows modules
4335 to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written
4336 to the error log. The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring
4337 modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent.
4340 *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output.
4341 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4343 *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header
4344 add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally
4345 add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly:
4347 SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader
4348 Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader
4350 If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header
4351 MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response.
4354 *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header
4355 add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported:
4357 %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the
4358 request was received.
4360 %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was
4361 received and the response sent.
4364 Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t"
4366 results in a header being added to the response that looks like this:
4368 MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256
4372 *) Fix reset_filter(). We need to be careful how we remove filters.
4373 If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the
4374 connection's filters. [John Sterling]
4376 *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein]
4378 *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and
4379 contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes
4380 a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling]
4382 *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will
4383 cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be
4384 echoed to (included in) the response headers.
4387 *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H.
4388 This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h. PR #7773
4389 [Oleg Broytmann <phd phd.pp.ru>]
4391 *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library. This required a bunch of
4392 apr_name changes for the uri utility functions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4394 *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the
4395 insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default.
4398 *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now
4399 add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive
4400 and to responses using the same old Header directive. [Graham Leggett]
4402 Changes with Apache 2.0.18
4404 *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified
4405 Apache will exit. [Jeff Trawick]
4407 *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the
4408 Apache-owned source trees. [Roy Fielding]
4410 *) Fix processing of the TRACE method. Previously we passed bogus
4411 parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures,
4412 resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias().
4413 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
4415 *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process
4416 goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has
4417 been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases.
4420 *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file
4421 preflight. This change also circumvents a problem on
4422 Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight
4423 was not getting cleaned up properly.
4426 *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info
4429 *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in
4430 preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted
4431 design notes. [Paul J. Reder]
4433 *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr
4434 and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line
4435 (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were
4436 formerly abusing as LTFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
4438 *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags.
4439 [Barrie Slaymaker <barries slaysys.com>]
4441 *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR
4442 and moving hints.m4 inline. [Roy Fielding]
4444 *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types
4445 of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL
4446 [Ian Holsman <IanH cnet.com>]
4448 *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a
4449 request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to
4450 the cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
4452 *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged
4453 as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0.
4456 *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows
4459 *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the
4460 connection pool. This solves a small resource leak that had us
4461 not closing files until a connection was closed. In order to do
4462 this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the
4463 brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket
4464 that we know will survive clearing the request_rec.
4465 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>,
4468 *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
4469 variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
4470 the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user
4471 to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
4472 need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting
4473 of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to
4474 avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given
4475 on the compile and link lines. Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA,
4476 AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE.
4477 Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros.
4478 Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T. [Roy Fielding]
4480 *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows. PR #7612
4481 [Bernhard Schrenk <b.schrenk improx.com>]
4483 *) Fix shutdown/restart hangs in the threaded MPM.
4484 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom]
4486 *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only
4487 used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable.
4488 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding]
4490 *) Patch prefork to put enough of the signal processing back in so that
4491 signals are all handled properly now. The previous patch fixed the
4492 deadlock race condition, but broke the user directed signal handling.
4493 This fixes it to work the way it did before my previous prefork patch
4494 (primarily, SIGTERM is now working).
4496 *) Change how input filters decide how much data is returned to the
4497 higher filter. We used to use a field in the conn_rec, with this
4498 change, we use an argument to ap_get_brigade to determine how much
4499 data is retrieved. [Ryan Bloom]
4501 *) Fix seg fault at start-up introduced by Ryan's change to enable
4502 modules to specify their own logging tags. mod_log_config
4503 registers an optional function, ap_register_log_handler().
4504 ap_register_log_handler() was being called by http_core before
4505 the directive hash table was created. This patch creates the
4506 directive hash table before ap_register_log_handler() is
4507 registered as an optional function.
4508 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
4510 *) Add ap_set_int_slot() function
4511 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
4513 *) Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the
4514 right response headers when requiring authentication.
4515 [Gertjan van Wingerde <Gertjan.van.Wingerde cmg.nl>] PR#7114
4516 (This is a port of the change that went into Apache 1.3.19.)
4518 *) Allow modules to specify their own logging tags. This basically
4519 allows a module to tell mod_log_config that when %x is encountered
4520 a specific function should be called. Currently, x can be any single
4521 character. It may be more useful to make this a string at some point.
4524 Changes with Apache 2.0.17
4526 *) If a higher-level filter handles the byterange aspects of a
4527 request, then the byterange filter should not try to redo the
4528 work. The most common case of this happening, is a byterange
4529 request going through the proxy, and the origin server handles
4530 the byterange request. The proxy should ignore it.
4531 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
4533 *) Changed the threaded mpm to have child_main join to each of the
4534 worker threads to make sure the kids are all gone before child_main
4535 exits after a signal (cleanup from perform_idle_server_maintenance).
4536 This is an extension of Ryans recent commit to make the child_main
4539 *) Add more options to the ap_mpm_query function. This also allows MPMs to
4540 report if their threads are dynamic or static. Finally, this also
4541 implements a new API, ap_show_mpm, which returns the MPM that was
4542 required into the core. [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
4544 *) Do not install the binaries from the support directory twice.
4545 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
4547 *) The ap_f* functions should flush data to the filter that is passed
4548 in, not the filter after the one passed in.
4549 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4551 *) Make ab work again by changing its native types to apr types and formats.
4552 [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
4554 *) Move the byterange filter and all of the supporting functions back
4555 to the HTTP module. The byterange filter turned out to be very
4556 HTTP specific, and it belongs in the HTTP module. [Greg Stein]
4558 *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
4559 Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
4561 *) Fix errors in the renaming of the apr_threadattr_detach_xxx functions.
4562 This may have been causing problems stopping processes in the threaded
4565 *) Fix content-length in mod_negotiation to a long int representation.
4568 *) Remove BindAddress from the default config file.
4569 [<giles nemeton.com.au>]
4571 *) Allow module authors to add a module to their Apache build using
4572 --with-module, without re-running buildconf. The syntax is:
4573 --with-module=module_type:/path/to/module.c
4574 The configure script will copy the module.c file to
4575 modules/module_type, and it will be added to the relevant Makefiles.
4576 currently, this only works for static modules. [Ryan Bloom]
4578 *) Changes required to make prefork clean up idle children properly.
4579 There was a window during which a starting worker deadlocks when
4580 an idle cleanup arrives before it completes init. Apache then keeps
4581 trying to cleanup the same deadlocked worker forever (until higher
4582 pids come along, but it still will never reduce below the deadlocked
4583 pid). Thus the number of children would not reduce to the correct
4584 idle level. [Paul J. Reder]
4586 Changes with Apache 2.0.16
4588 *) Change the default installation directory to /usr/local/apache2,
4589 as now defined by the "Apache" layout in config.layout. [Marc Slemko]
4591 *) OS/2: Added support for building loadable modules as OS/2 DLLs.
4594 *) Get MaxRequestsPerChild working with the Windows MPM.
4597 *) Make generic hooks to work, with mod_generic_hook_import/export
4598 experimental modules. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe]
4600 *) Fix segfaults for configuration file syntax errors such as
4601 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directory" and
4602 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directoryz>". [Jeff Trawick]
4604 *) Cleanup the --enable-layout option of configure. This makes
4605 us use a consistent location for the config.layout file, and it
4606 makes configure more portable.
4607 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
4609 *) Changes to 'ab'; fixed int overrun's, added statistics, output in
4610 csv/gnuplot format, rudimentary ssl support and various other tweaks
4611 to make results more true to what is measured. The upshot of this it
4612 turns out that 'ab' has often underreported the true performance of
4613 apache. Often by a order of magnitude :-) See talk/paper of Sander
4614 Temme at April ApacheCon 2001 for details.
4615 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
4617 *) Clean up mod_cgid's temporary request pool. Besides fixing a
4618 storage leak this ensures that some unnecessary pipes are closed.
4621 *) Performance: Add quick_handler hook. This hook is called at the
4622 very beginning of the request processing before location_walk,
4623 translate_name, etc. This hook is useful for URI keyed content
4624 caches like Mike Abbott's Quick Shortcut Cache.
4627 *) top_module global variable renamed to ap_top_module [Perl]
4629 *) Move ap_set_last_modified to the core. This is a potentially
4630 controversial change, because this is kind of HTTP specific. However
4631 many protocols should be able to take advantage of this kind of
4632 information. I expect that headers will need one more layer of
4633 indirection for multi-protocol work, but this is a small step in
4634 the right direction. [Ryan Bloom]
4636 *) Enable mod_status by default. This matches what Apache 1.3 does.
4639 *) Add a ScriptSock directive to the default config file. This is
4640 only enabled when mod_cgid is used.
4641 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
4643 Changes with Apache 2.0.15
4645 *) Untangled the buildconf script and eliminated the need for build's
4646 aclocal.m4, generated_lists, build.mk, build2.mk, and a host of other
4647 libtool muck that is now under srclib/apr/build. [Roy Fielding]
4649 *) Win32: Don't accept more connections than we have worker threads
4653 *) Fix bug in the Unix threaded.c MPM that allowed child processes
4654 to fork() new child processes.
4657 *) SECURITY: Fix a major security problem with double-reverse lookup
4658 checking. Previously, a client connecting over IPv4 would not be
4659 matched properly when the server had an IPv6 listening socket.
4660 PR #7407 [Taketo Kabe <kiabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
4662 *) Change the way the beos MPM handles polling to allow it to stop and
4663 restart. Problem was the sockets being polled were being reset by
4664 the select call, so once it had accepted a connection it was no
4665 longer listening on the UDP socket we use for shutdown instructions.
4666 APR needs to be altered, patch on it's way. [David Reid]
4668 *) Empty out the brigade shared by ap_getline()/ap_get_client_block()
4669 on error exit from ap_getline(). Some other code got upset because
4670 the wrong data was in the brigade. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
4672 *) Handle ap_discard_request_body() being called more than once.
4673 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
4675 *) Get rid of an inadvertent close of file descriptor 2 in
4676 mod_mime_magic. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
4678 *) Add a hook, create_request. This hook allows modules to modify
4679 a request while it is being created. This hook is called for all
4680 request_rec's, main request, sub request, and internal redirect.
4681 When this hook is called, the r->main, r->prev, r->next
4682 pointers have been set, so modules can determine what kind of
4683 request this is. [Ryan Bloom]
4685 *) Cleanup the build process a bit more. The Apache configure
4686 script no longer creates its own helper scripts, it just
4688 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
4690 *) Stop the forced downgrade of the connection to HTTP/1.0 for
4691 proxy requests. [Graham Leggett]
4693 *) Avoid using sscanf to determine the HTTP protocol number in
4694 the common case because sscanf is a performance hog. From
4695 Mike Abbot's Accelerating Apache patch number 6.
4696 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>, Bill Stoddard]
4698 *) SECURITY: Fix a security exposure in mod_access. Previously when
4699 IPv6 listening sockets were used, allow/deny-from-IPv4-address rules
4700 were not evaluated properly (PR #7407). Also, add the ability to
4701 specify IPv6 address strings with optional prefix length on Allow
4702 and Deny. [Jeff Trawick]
4704 *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and
4705 the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). (Brought
4706 forward from 1.3.) [Ken Coar]
4708 *) Reimplement the Windows MPM (mpm_winnt.c) to eliminate calling
4709 DuplicateHandle on an IOCompletionPort (a practice which
4710 MS "discourages"). The new model does not rely on associating
4711 the completion port with the listening sockets, thus the
4712 completion port can be completely managed within the child
4713 process. A dedicated thread accepts connections off the network,
4714 then calls PostQueuedCompletionStatus() to wake up worker
4715 threads blocked on the completion port.
4718 *) Bring forward the --suexec-umask option which allows the
4719 builder to preset the umask for suexec processes. [Ken Coar]
4721 *) Add a -V flag to suexec, which causes it to display the
4722 compile-time settings with which it was built. (Only
4723 usable by root or the AP_HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar]
4725 *) Mod_include should always unset the content-length if the file is
4726 going to be passed through send_parsed_content. There is no to
4727 determine if the content will change before actually scanning the
4728 entire content. It is far safer to just remove the C-L as long
4729 as we are scanning it. [Ryan Bloom]
4731 *) Make sure Apache sends WWW-Authenticate during a reverse proxy
4732 request and not Proxy-Authenticate.
4733 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
4735 Changes with Apache 2.0.14
4737 *) Fix content-length computation. We ONLY compute a content-length if
4738 We are not in a 1.1 request and we cannot chunk, and this is a keepalive
4739 or we already have all the data. [Ryan Bloom]
4741 *) Report unbounded containers in the config file. Previously, a typo
4742 in the </container> directive could result in the rest of the config
4743 file being silently ignored, with undesired defaults used.
4746 *) Make the old_write filter use the ap_f* functions for the buffering.
4749 *) Move more code from the http module into the core server. This
4750 is core code, basically the default handler, the default input
4751 and output filters, and all of the core configuration directives.
4752 All of this code is required in order for the server to work, with or
4753 without HTTP. The server is closer to working without the HTTP
4754 module, although there is still more to do. [Ryan Bloom]
4756 *) Fix a number of SGI compile warnings throughout the server. Fix some
4757 bad parameters to apr_bucket_read(). Fix a bad statement in
4758 ap_method_in_list(). For the mod_rewrite cache use apr_time_t
4759 consistently; we were mixing apr_time_t and time_t in invalid ways
4760 before. In load_file(), call apr_dso_error() instead of
4761 apr_strerror() so that we get a more specific string on some platforms.
4762 PR #6980 [Jeff Trawick]
4764 *) Allow modules to query the MPM about it's execution profile. This
4765 query API can and should be extended in the future, but for now,
4766 max_daemons, and threading or forking is a very good start.
4767 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
4769 *) Modify mod_include to send blocks of data no larger than 9k.
4770 Without this, mod_include will wait until the whole file is parsed,
4771 or the first tag is found to send any data to the client.
4772 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
4774 *) Fix mod_info, so that <Directory> and <Location> directives are
4775 not displayed twice when displaying the current configuration.
4776 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4778 *) Add config directives to override DEFAULT_ERROR_MSG and
4779 DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT. This was sent in as PR 6193.
4780 [Dan Rench <drench xnet.com>]
4782 *) Get mod_info building and loading on Win32. [William Rowe]
4784 *) Begin to move protocol independant functions out of mod_http. The goal
4785 is to have only functions that are HTTP specific in the http directory.
4788 Changes with Apache 2.0.13
4790 *) Don't assume that there will always be multiple calls to the byterange
4791 filter. It is possible that we will need to do byteranges with only
4792 one call to the filter. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4794 *) Move the error_bucket definition from the http module to the
4795 core server. Every protocol will need this ability, not just
4798 Changes with Apache 2.0.12
4800 *) Modify mod_file_cache to save pre-formatted strings for
4801 content-length and last-modified headers for performance.
4802 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>]
4804 *) Namespace protect IOBUFSIZ since it is exposed in the API.
4805 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
4807 *) Use "Basic" authentication instead of "basic" in ab, as the spec
4808 says we should. [Andre Breiler <andre.breiler rd.bbc.co.uk>]
4810 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_userdir.c. We used to use the pw structure
4811 without ever filling it out. This fixes PR 7271.
4812 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp> and
4813 Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
4815 *) Add a couple of GCC attribute tags to printf style functions.
4816 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
4818 *) Add the correct language tag for interoperation with the Taiwanese
4819 versions of MSIE and Netscape. [Clive Lin <clive CirX.ORG>] PR#7142
4821 *) Migrate the perchild MPM to use the new apr signal child, and
4822 APR thread functions. [Ryan Bloom]
4824 *) Close one copy of the CGI's stdout before creating the new process.
4825 The CGI will still have stdout, because we have already dup'ed it.
4826 This keeps Apache from waiting forever to send the results of a CGI
4827 process that has forked a long-lived child process.
4828 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
4830 *) Remove the rest of the pthreads functions from the threaded MPM.
4831 This requires the APR support for a signal thread that was just
4834 *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser.
4835 Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much
4836 sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would
4837 either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the
4838 current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4840 *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads.
4843 *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases.
4846 *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and
4847 "most". [Greg Stein]
4849 *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks.
4852 *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the
4853 fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and
4854 it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything.
4857 *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches
4858 the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation
4859 process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames).
4862 *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter
4863 is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom]
4865 Changes with Apache 2.0.11
4867 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the
4868 added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no
4869 uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter.
4872 *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom]
4874 *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM.
4875 If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add
4876 --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom]
4878 *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so
4879 that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself.
4882 *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been
4883 installed to the system include files.
4884 [Gomez Henri <new-httpd slib.fr>]
4886 *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need
4887 to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but
4888 configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom]
4890 *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is
4891 vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build
4894 *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this
4895 on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want
4896 to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
4898 *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a
4899 request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard]
4901 *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and
4902 SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set
4903 directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives
4904 tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom]
4906 *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_*
4907 functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute
4908 the length of the headers before we actually create the header
4909 buffer. [Ryan Bloom]
4911 *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have
4912 become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*.
4915 *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going
4916 to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to
4917 kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be
4918 static. [Ryan Bloom]
4920 *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not
4921 possible to compile some modules outside of the server.
4924 *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch
4925 forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex
4926 aliases. [Ryan Bloom]
4928 *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary
4929 hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If
4930 we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back
4931 up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send
4932 the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request,
4933 to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already
4934 received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than
4935 the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This
4936 fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data
4937 with that request. [Ryan Bloom]
4939 *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and
4940 thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom]
4942 *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This
4943 should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to
4944 create CGI processes.
4945 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
4947 *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket
4948 call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been
4949 reset. [Jeff Trawick]
4951 *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h.
4952 This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release
4953 system. [Ryan Bloom]
4955 *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in
4956 the ability to use IPC other than shared memory.
4957 Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard]
4959 *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork,
4960 mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom]
4962 *) Correct a typo in httpd.conf.
4963 [Kunihiro Tanaka <tanaka apache.or.jp>] PR#7154
4965 *) Really fix mod_rewrite map lookups this time. [Tony Finch]
4967 *) Get the correct IP address if ServerName isn't set and we can't
4968 find a fully-qualified domain name at startup.
4969 PR#7170 [Danek Duvall <dduvall eng.sun.com>]
4971 *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom]
4973 *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some
4974 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now
4975 resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS
4976 volumes. [William Rowe]
4978 *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the
4979 behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported
4980 as USER_NAME="<unknown>" rather than the old user#000 result.
4981 WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe]
4983 *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new
4984 Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe]
4986 *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the
4987 environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure
4988 options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.
4991 *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like
4992 "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return
4993 a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big
4994 byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom]
4996 *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the
4997 bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these
4998 buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will
4999 just be ignored. [Greg Stein]
5001 *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart
5002 signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child
5003 process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If
5004 we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning
5005 up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom]
5007 *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful
5008 restarts. [Ryan Bloom]
5010 *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use
5011 the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from
5012 performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups
5013 and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields
5014 are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe]
5016 *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by
5017 optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending
5018 on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port
5019 for sample code. [Ben Laurie]
5021 *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done
5022 by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket.
5023 This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and
5024 a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed
5025 to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this
5026 bucket, and output the error text, and then return
5027 AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page
5028 has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom]
5030 *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for
5031 those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where
5032 error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though
5033 that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom]
5035 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
5036 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
5038 *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition
5039 and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy
5040 code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable.
5043 *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these
5044 directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled
5045 in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because
5046 we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order.
5049 *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of
5050 targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the
5051 configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is
5052 specifically run. [Ryan Bloom]
5054 *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts
5055 the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by
5056 parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe]
5058 *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code
5059 expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error.
5060 Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we
5061 follow the link. [William Rowe]
5063 *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to
5064 mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms,
5065 so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom]
5067 *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe,
5068 and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom]
5070 *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the
5071 current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail.
5074 *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or
5075 pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames]
5077 *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know
5078 for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0.
5079 This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0
5080 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
5082 *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite,
5083 i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of
5084 more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch]
5086 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing
5087 Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin <alexeyt wam.umd.edu>]
5089 *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting
5090 and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly.
5093 *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter().
5094 This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with
5095 requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick]
5097 *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via
5098 hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also,
5099 add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and
5100 NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but
5101 not used during the configuration process. Useful for
5102 flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski]
5104 *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or
5105 no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to
5106 specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH.
5107 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom]
5109 *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie]
5111 *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and
5112 apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the
5113 actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again.
5116 *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being
5117 traced. [Jeff Trawick]
5119 *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data.
5122 *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie]
5124 *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
5126 *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter
5127 program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick]
5129 *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an
5130 object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE
5131 was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would
5132 create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap()
5133 silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but
5134 ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick]
5136 *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem
5137 is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and
5138 we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the
5139 browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom]
5141 *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec
5142 because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't
5143 always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf
5146 *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct
5147 order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4,
5148 and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build
5149 process. [Ryan Bloom]
5151 *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process.
5152 This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process,
5153 thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do
5154 not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least
5155 it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom]
5157 *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line.
5160 *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
5161 the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5163 *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
5164 need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files
5165 such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]
5167 *) Get the support programs building cleanly again.
5168 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5170 *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The
5171 current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the
5172 server root from the Apache.exe path.
5174 *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so
5175 loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the
5176 makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories.
5178 *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6,
5179 Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the
5180 Listen, NameVirtualHost, and <VirtualHost> directives support IPv6
5181 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080").
5184 *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in
5185 modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but
5186 we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories
5187 are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom]
5189 *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom]
5191 *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of
5192 which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack
5193 for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the
5194 necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC
5195 was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make
5196 the scripts a bit easier.
5199 *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout
5200 on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick]
5202 *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and
5203 be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects
5204 that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules
5205 didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly.
5208 *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer
5209 available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick]
5211 *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
5213 *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts
5214 after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom]
5216 *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a
5217 content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to
5218 have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we
5219 can compute the content-length in the byterange filter.
5222 *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows.
5225 *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way
5226 they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been
5227 called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when
5228 the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool.
5231 Changes with Apache 2.0a9
5233 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users
5234 to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@
5235 and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories.
5238 *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with
5239 functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily.
5240 The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function
5241 combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include
5242 parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a
5243 hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes
5244 all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then
5245 responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back
5246 to mod_include for further processing.
5247 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5249 *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has
5250 fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed
5251 from the parameter list because all required information is available
5252 via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick]
5254 *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a
5255 normal source distribution with external install targets.
5258 *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create
5259 two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation.
5260 the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required
5261 for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one
5262 variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations,
5263 so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based
5264 on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment.
5265 It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two
5266 shmem memory blocks.
5269 *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of
5270 functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure
5271 time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file.
5272 Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those
5273 functions that are valid on the platform we are building on.
5276 *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config
5277 [Sander van Zoest <sander covalent.net>]
5279 *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration.
5282 *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not
5283 specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR).
5284 The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM
5285 files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases.
5288 *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that
5289 uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly.
5290 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5292 *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when
5293 making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the
5294 output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore
5295 skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
5297 *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the
5298 format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in
5299 the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be
5300 used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with
5301 the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format
5302 of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick]
5304 *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the
5305 rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this
5306 condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
5308 *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter.
5311 Changes with Apache 2.0a8
5313 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with
5317 *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info
5318 field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file.
5321 *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers
5322 down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request
5323 record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready
5327 *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code,
5328 but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP)
5332 *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler.
5335 *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options.
5336 [B. W. Fitzpatrick <fitz red-bean.com>]
5338 *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname.
5339 Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing
5340 hostname resolution/address string parsing and building
5341 apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address
5342 of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change
5343 apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick]
5345 *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but
5346 I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon.
5349 *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we
5350 aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom]
5352 *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head
5353 request. [Ryan Bloom]
5355 *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias
5356 with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch]
5358 *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom]
5360 *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests.
5361 The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before
5362 we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we
5363 should send it in the HEAD response.
5366 *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based
5367 on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay
5368 deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the
5369 content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache
5370 our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute
5371 the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and
5372 everything will just work.
5375 *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available.
5376 [Markus Gyger <mgyger itr.ch>]
5378 *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this
5379 change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules
5381 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5383 *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly.
5384 This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times
5385 for a simple static request.
5388 *) We are sending the content-type correctly now.
5389 [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]
5391 *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report
5392 a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers
5393 and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick]
5395 *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the
5396 hints file to determine which platforms define
5397 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
5400 *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick]
5402 *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko]
5404 *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache
5405 used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate,
5406 but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will
5407 as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid
5408 value on all platforms.
5409 [Branko Èibej <brane xbc.nu>]
5411 *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824.
5412 [Shuichi Kitaguchi <ki hh.iij4u.or.jp>]
5414 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
5415 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
5417 *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes
5418 sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the
5419 default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs.
5422 *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain
5423 in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well.
5426 *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This
5427 has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could
5428 doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches
5429 the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes
5430 a content-length in the response, and this does not.
5433 *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate
5434 on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make
5435 any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes,
5436 so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written.
5439 *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not.
5440 The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report
5441 the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies
5442 content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing
5443 code in mod_log_config.c
5446 *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what
5447 it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since
5448 neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was
5449 really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better
5450 by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH
5451 buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data
5452 read, so they make more sense.
5455 *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a
5456 request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it
5457 makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request
5458 responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap
5459 buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This
5460 allows the mmap to outlive the request.
5463 *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for
5464 sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should
5465 have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should
5466 ALWAYS be able to return something immediately.
5469 *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the
5470 server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart
5471 instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling]
5473 *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on
5474 the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe]
5476 *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in
5477 such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r".
5480 *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0:
5481 CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol.
5484 *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
5485 status at the end of the response as follows:
5486 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed.
5487 '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server.
5488 '-' - connection will be closed by the server.
5491 *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded
5492 Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type
5493 from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the feature
5494 macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe]
5496 *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for
5497 the response when no content length is available and we can't use
5498 chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick]
5500 *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK,
5501 so that content input filters get dechunked data when using
5502 the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS.
5505 *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows
5506 the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently,
5507 only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick]
5509 *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol
5510 data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick]
5512 *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of
5513 the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this
5514 type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef
5515 CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick]
5517 *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will
5518 send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside
5519 buckets that include partial buckets.
5520 [Ryan Bloom and David Reid]
5522 *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula]
5524 *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using
5525 BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it
5526 doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on.
5529 *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to
5530 the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that
5531 actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need
5532 for the BUFF to send headers.
5535 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of
5536 request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest()
5537 since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated)
5538 response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at
5539 all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.)
5542 *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter
5543 (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter.
5546 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
5547 of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp home.net>,
5550 *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h
5553 *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering.
5556 *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at
5557 least now we can serve an SHTML page again.
5560 *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer
5561 to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that
5562 want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket,
5563 can. They point to the same place.
5566 *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld.
5567 [Tomas "Ögren" <stric ing.umu.se>]
5569 *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the
5570 associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this
5571 logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs.
5574 *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was
5575 no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning
5576 APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by
5577 making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets.
5578 If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we
5579 return the buf, otherwise we return NULL.
5582 *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series.
5585 *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix:
5586 rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded
5587 so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc.
5588 PR #6671 [Tony Finch]
5590 *) SECURITY: Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a
5591 security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations
5592 that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files
5593 on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch]
5595 *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out
5596 of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then
5597 the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the
5601 *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters
5602 should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way
5603 to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket,
5604 that's life, but at least we can try with this.
5607 *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the
5608 EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output
5609 filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub
5610 requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished.
5613 *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also
5614 makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it
5615 used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its
5616 return value anyway.
5617 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5619 *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets
5620 structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the
5621 bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type.
5624 *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols
5625 for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper)
5626 and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE.
5627 All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear.
5630 *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename
5631 parsing of <Directory> blocks under Win32 and OS2.
5632 [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
5634 *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been
5635 replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket
5636 types and use then use those buckets.
5639 *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write)
5640 once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process;
5641 otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies
5642 worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large
5643 ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick]
5645 *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type.
5646 This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off
5647 the data pointer in the ap_bucket type.
5650 *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data
5651 to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive
5652 number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and
5653 let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line
5654 only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data.
5656 Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows
5657 us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which
5661 *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter
5662 understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is
5663 based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers,
5664 and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are
5665 in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining
5666 bytes. It can return less, but never more.
5667 [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick]
5669 *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what
5670 the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick]
5672 *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters
5673 ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection
5674 go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the
5678 *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial
5679 send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to
5680 get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial
5681 writes to the network.
5684 *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again
5685 [Victor J. Orlikowski <v.j.orlikowski gte.net>]
5687 *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored
5688 if there are no headers to send.
5691 *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core
5692 filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary
5693 compiled on Windows NT.
5696 Changes with Apache 2.0a7
5698 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades
5699 across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be
5700 sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE
5701 thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received.
5704 *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes
5705 into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the
5706 chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current
5707 implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the
5708 chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that
5709 containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The
5710 buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket.
5713 *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter.
5716 *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter.
5719 *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS
5720 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
5722 *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't
5723 make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now.
5726 *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that
5727 do not have sendfile.
5728 [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard]
5730 *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so
5731 that it works again. [Ryan Bloom]
5733 *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile().
5736 *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support.
5739 *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands
5740 the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The
5741 goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing
5742 the data back to the other filters.
5745 *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation
5748 *) install apxs if it is created
5751 *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error
5752 conversions. [William Rowe]
5754 *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to
5755 ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick]
5757 *) Multiple build and configuration fixes
5760 -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions
5762 -fix logfilename misspelling
5763 -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and
5764 -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile
5768 -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for
5769 $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing
5770 -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib
5771 -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's
5772 -cache result for "struct rlimit"
5773 -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler
5774 and use the native version to generate header file
5775 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu gmx.de>]
5777 *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross-
5779 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu gmx.de>]
5781 *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header
5782 lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
5783 message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input
5785 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
5787 *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even
5788 if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a
5789 requirement for APXS to work correctly.
5792 *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the
5793 conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the
5794 output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the
5795 post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an
5796 error page before we have a filter to write to the network.
5797 [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames]
5799 *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An
5800 mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with
5801 byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of
5802 the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket.
5805 *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi.
5808 *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32.
5809 Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support
5810 for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB),
5811 and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and
5812 prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still
5813 discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and
5814 async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are
5815 logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls.
5818 *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input
5819 filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest
5820 difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade
5821 should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is
5822 different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in,
5823 and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call
5824 ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input
5825 is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this
5826 function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade.
5827 The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return.
5830 *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system
5831 falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform.
5834 *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5,
5835 SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a
5836 bit more flexible. [William Rowe]
5838 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content
5839 translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores
5840 subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for
5841 translating request and response bodies was removed.
5844 *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request
5845 hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in
5846 multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much
5847 simpler. [Ryan Bloom]
5849 *) SECURITY [CVE-2000-0913] (cve.mitre.org):
5850 Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of
5851 mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that
5852 contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences
5853 $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to
5854 access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch]
5856 *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing
5857 don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because
5858 the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames]
5860 *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid.
5861 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
5863 *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2)
5864 as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds.
5865 update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment.
5866 Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from
5867 parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the
5868 seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support.
5871 *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32.
5874 *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An
5875 uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config().
5878 *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for
5879 in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly
5880 find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source
5881 with no problems. [David Reid]
5883 *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying
5884 the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong
5885 location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and
5886 also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would
5887 sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick]
5889 *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence
5890 like this in the config file
5892 <IfModule mod_kilroy.c>
5895 <IfModule mod_lovejoy.c>
5900 the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to
5901 sediment in the buffer from reading the prior </IfModule> and an
5902 error message would be generated for the real </IfModule> for the
5903 second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters
5904 could be used for "</" in the close of a container.
5907 *) ap_add_filter prototype changed to remove the ctx pointer. The
5908 pointer still remains in the filter structure, but it can not be
5909 a part of the ap_add_filter prototype. The reason is that when
5910 the core uses AddFilter to add a filter to the stack it doesn't
5911 know how to allocate the ctx pointer, or even how much memory should
5912 be allocated. The filters will have to be responsible for allocating
5913 the ctx memory when they need it.
5916 *) Add an AddFilter directive. This directive takes a list of filters
5917 that should be activated for the requested resource.
5920 *) apr_snprintf(): Get quad format strings working on OS/390 (and perhaps
5921 some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
5923 *) Modify mod_include to be a filter. Currently, it has only been tested
5924 on actual files, but it should work for CGI scripts too.
5927 *) apr_putc(), apr_puts() for Unix: handle buffered files and interrupted
5928 writes. apr_flush() for Unix: handle interrupted writes.
5931 *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of
5932 an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based
5933 virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in
5934 the configuration file and which ignores the local address
5935 of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch]
5937 *) Fix some compile warnings in mod_mmap_static.c
5938 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
5940 *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that
5941 the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an
5942 EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it
5943 encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we
5944 finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one
5945 EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec.
5948 *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix
5949 and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via
5950 apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick]
5952 *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe
5953 bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*.
5956 *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable.
5957 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
5959 *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache
5960 code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs.
5963 *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c
5964 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
5966 *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive.
5967 PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama imgsrc.co.jp>]
5969 *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test
5970 explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit()
5971 is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support
5972 the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski]
5974 *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific
5975 platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain)
5976 all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski]
5978 *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary
5981 *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR.
5984 *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite.
5987 *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom]
5989 *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that
5990 they can be more directly used when changing the type of a
5991 bucket in place. [Tony Finch]
5993 *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by
5994 buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change
5995 the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of
5996 buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets.
5997 Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be
5998 mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented.
6001 Changes with Apache 2.0a6
6003 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames]
6005 *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer
6006 to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom]
6008 *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter
6009 added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom]
6011 *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The
6012 docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom]
6014 *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades,
6015 Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that
6016 should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the
6017 core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group]
6019 *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't
6020 built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick]
6022 *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's
6023 no layout definition file. [Ken Coar]
6025 *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar]
6027 *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header
6028 field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the
6029 list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar]
6031 *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file().
6032 [Rob Simonson <simo us.ibm.com>]
6034 *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke
6035 APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick]
6037 *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the
6038 configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container,
6039 only the last statement in the container would be retained.
6042 Changes with Apache 2.0a5
6044 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child
6045 processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I
6046 have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had
6047 different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses.
6048 This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket.
6051 *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages.
6052 It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we
6053 are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix
6054 Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom]
6056 *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix.
6057 #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat
6060 *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always
6061 return the right information on the local socket address.
6062 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6064 *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error.
6065 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6067 *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without
6068 going into single process mode. This allows for much easier
6069 debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom]
6071 *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function.
6074 *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the
6075 scoreboard on graceful restarts.
6078 *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c.
6079 An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process().
6082 *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still
6083 never called, but this is a step in the right direction.
6084 [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
6086 *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is
6087 killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets
6088 SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the
6089 process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and
6090 mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
6092 *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time
6093 in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format.
6094 Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time
6095 uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP
6096 spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes
6097 the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom]
6099 *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error
6100 code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6102 *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet]
6104 *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in
6105 logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles
6106 not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe]
6108 *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create
6109 apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom]
6111 *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure
6112 to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a
6113 related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using
6114 fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock()
6115 implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock()
6116 was essentially a no-op because all children were using different
6117 locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick]
6119 *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into
6120 a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on
6121 end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar]
6123 *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This
6124 adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional
6125 XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein]
6127 *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes
6130 *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from
6131 the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein]
6133 *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR
6134 configure.in. [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
6136 *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for
6137 machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile.
6138 [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
6140 *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6142 *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the
6143 desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving
6144 ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6146 *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate
6147 with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without
6148 timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to
6149 a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with
6150 Unix non-blocking pipes.
6153 *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to
6154 cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables
6155 Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at
6156 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps
6157 and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system).
6160 *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache
6161 supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as
6162 mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive
6163 to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems
6164 that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today
6165 on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix.
6168 *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the
6169 configuration process automatically:
6170 inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing
6171 APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl
6173 Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid,
6174 based on the threading model
6176 Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's
6177 configuration processing, allowing for more information flow
6182 *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK
6183 with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and
6184 OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick]
6186 *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write
6187 operations work a whole lot better on buffered files.
6190 *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change
6191 compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads).
6194 *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps
6195 reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is
6196 now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated.
6197 ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick]
6199 *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
6200 can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified
6201 domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
6202 the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the
6203 ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe]
6205 *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault
6206 at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to
6207 be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick]
6209 *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding]
6211 *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX
6212 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6214 *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h,
6215 apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h.
6216 [Tyler J. Brooks <tylerjbrooks home.com>, Jeff Trawick]
6218 *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working
6219 state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on
6222 *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in
6223 maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise
6224 unions. [Ben Laurie]
6226 *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to
6227 repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered
6228 ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick]
6230 *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly
6231 in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker.
6234 *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error:
6235 "</container> without matching <container> section", where
6236 container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever.
6239 *) SECURITY [CAN-2000-1204] (cve.mitre.org):
6240 Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when
6241 using mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root
6242 and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi
6243 as reported in <news:960999105.344321 ernani.logica.co.uk>
6246 *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE)
6249 *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the
6250 final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles
6251 incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick]
6253 *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure
6254 that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and
6255 such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet]
6257 *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting
6258 up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket.
6261 *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches
6262 to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes)
6263 instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick]
6265 *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex.
6266 It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now
6267 displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the
6268 symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick]
6270 *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence.
6271 The previous check required features not used by Apache.
6274 *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were
6275 sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not
6276 initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed
6277 accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call
6278 if the len was negative. Use <sys/un.h> for struct sockaddr_un
6279 instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem
6280 on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick]
6282 *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
6284 *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
6286 *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames]
6288 *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at
6289 initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom
6290 otherwise. [Jeff Trawick]
6292 *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash
6293 doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does.
6294 Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator =="
6297 *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM.
6298 All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is
6299 now wrapped within the WinNT MPM.
6302 *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some
6303 getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls.
6304 CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick]
6306 *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change
6307 to allow just the product name in the server string using
6311 Changes with Apache 2.0a4
6313 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers
6314 won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6316 *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config
6317 tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks
6318 and know that they will be called at an appropriate time.
6321 *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again.
6324 *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules.
6327 *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have
6328 ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file.
6331 *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config
6332 files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick]
6334 *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t-
6335 related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem
6336 is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful
6337 restarts. [Ronald Tschalär]
6339 *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling.
6340 Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there
6341 would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure
6342 procedure. [Jeff Trawick]
6344 *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog
6345 isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via
6346 ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer
6347 to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6349 *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines.
6352 *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or
6353 global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it
6354 to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency.
6357 *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD()
6358 and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals.
6361 *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers.
6362 [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser <KEIJSERJJ logica.com>]
6364 *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation.
6367 *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record
6368 on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar]
6370 *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the
6374 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not
6375 a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick]
6377 *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that
6378 the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet.
6381 *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int
6382 instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding]
6384 *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a
6385 structure rather than the pid within the structure.
6386 [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]
6388 *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in
6389 err_response; support reading headers up to 2K.
6390 [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask valueclick.com>]
6392 *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior
6393 alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
6394 config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite.
6395 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6397 *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
6399 *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use
6400 APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables
6401 in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick]
6403 *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing.
6406 *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically
6407 if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is
6408 read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This
6409 should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the
6410 server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives
6411 that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should
6412 be made in the pre-config step.
6415 *) Add mod_example to the build system.
6418 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single-
6419 byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick]
6421 *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin
6422 Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log).
6425 *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the
6426 IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string
6427 properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the
6428 would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a
6429 properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick]
6431 *) apxs works in 2.0.
6434 *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0.
6437 *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for
6438 replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache.
6441 *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems
6442 generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a
6443 buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam
6444 is defined). [Ken Coar]
6446 *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure
6447 options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options]
6450 *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of
6451 these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/
6452 WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick]
6454 *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0
6457 *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR.
6460 *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are
6464 *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken.
6465 Patch submitted to author.
6468 *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require
6469 /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously)
6472 *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD
6473 [Sascha Schumann] PR#26
6475 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in
6476 struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only
6477 affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during
6478 pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at
6479 least). [Jeff Trawick]
6481 *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix
6483 [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39
6485 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems
6486 like OS/390 and UnixWare.
6489 *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms.
6492 *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror()
6493 (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in
6494 the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit
6495 out the correct error message for it.
6498 Changes with Apache 2.0a3
6500 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails
6503 *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix
6506 *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock.
6507 [Tim Costello <timcostello ozemail.com.au>]
6509 *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes.
6510 [Chia-liang Kao <clkao CirX.ORG>]
6512 *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using
6516 *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built
6519 *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow
6520 developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also
6521 changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name.
6524 *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames
6525 containing version numbers. [Martin Pool]
6527 *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on
6528 Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non-
6529 Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick]
6531 *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h.
6532 Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE.
6533 [William Rowe, Roy Fielding]
6535 *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows
6536 build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it
6537 actually works. [Bill Stoddard]
6539 *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and
6540 Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file
6541 os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent
6542 dll relocation at start-up).
6543 [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard]
6545 *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most
6546 of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros.
6549 *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different
6550 character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv().
6553 *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.
6554 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
6556 *) CGI output is being timed out now.
6559 *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which
6560 is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file
6561 with the same lifetime as the original file.
6564 *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying
6565 module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults
6566 in the field. [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6568 *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document
6569 describing how to compile Apache on Windows.
6570 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6572 *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take
6573 microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other
6574 minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
6576 *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0
6577 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6579 *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0
6580 quick change summary:
6581 - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR
6582 - now uses ap_time_t
6583 - compiles and runs on linux
6585 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
6587 *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names
6588 fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an
6589 unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the
6590 CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started
6592 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6594 *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may
6595 not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This
6596 is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls
6597 to non portable functions should be protected with
6598 ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults.
6599 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6601 *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer]
6603 *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick]
6605 *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
6606 This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
6607 CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
6609 *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly
6610 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6612 *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to
6613 always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the
6614 OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx
6617 The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to
6618 handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for
6619 Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then
6620 we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.
6621 [Tim Costello <Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
6623 *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT
6624 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
6626 *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support
6627 Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and
6628 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.
6629 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
6631 *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform
6633 [<Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
6635 *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions.
6638 *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site.
6639 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
6641 *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
6644 *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
6645 Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
6646 at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
6647 of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
6648 [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]
6650 *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.
6651 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
6653 *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the
6654 corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the
6655 proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
6657 Changes with Apache 2.0a2
6659 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
6663 *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
6664 small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
6665 users and groups. [David Reid]
6667 *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
6668 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6670 *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
6671 is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
6673 *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
6674 When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
6675 no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
6676 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
6678 *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
6679 if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
6681 *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
6682 locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
6685 *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
6686 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6688 *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
6689 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6691 *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
6692 interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
6694 *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
6695 up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
6699 *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
6700 now logged correctly on BeOS.
6703 *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
6704 Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
6706 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>, Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
6708 *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
6709 shell path resolution.
6710 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>] PR#3715
6712 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
6714 [Allen Prescott <allen clanprescott.com>]
6716 *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
6717 flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
6719 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
6721 *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
6722 which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
6723 confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
6724 rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
6725 explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
6726 ones to the example config [dirkx]
6728 *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
6729 configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
6732 *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
6733 including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
6735 *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
6736 config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
6737 it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
6738 expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
6739 by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
6740 to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
6741 can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
6742 usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
6743 hampers fancier hacks.
6744 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
6746 *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
6747 supports the asymetric
6749 ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
6751 Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
6752 has either the following syntaxes
6754 ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
6755 ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
6756 ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
6758 The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
6759 is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
6760 or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
6761 is assumed to be a message.
6763 This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
6764 of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
6765 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
6767 *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
6768 syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
6769 only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
6770 absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
6771 breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
6773 *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
6774 done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
6775 as static modules at this point.
6778 Changes with Apache 2.0a1
6780 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
6781 Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
6782 create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
6783 to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
6784 ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
6785 rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...
6786 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
6788 *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
6789 [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
6791 *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
6795 *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
6796 Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
6797 Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
6798 passed in and number of bytes written.
6801 *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
6802 with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
6803 the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
6806 *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
6807 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
6809 *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
6810 bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
6811 some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
6812 errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
6813 chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
6816 *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
6817 [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
6819 *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6821 *) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security
6822 problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
6823 or mod_vhost_alias).
6824 [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
6826 *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
6827 [Manoj Kasichainula]
6829 *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
6830 message without any of the date and time information. As a part
6831 of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
6832 and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
6833 writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
6834 stderr to the error log on all platforms.
6837 *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
6838 This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
6839 don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
6840 message on all of our platforms.
6843 *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
6844 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6846 *) sendfile has been added to APR.
6847 [John Zedlewski <zedlwski Princeton.EDU>]
6849 *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
6850 [Manoj Kasichainula]
6852 *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
6853 interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
6855 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0
6856 [Dilip Khandekar <dilip cup.hp.com>]
6858 *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11
6859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6861 *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
6862 automatically for developers from src/Configure.
6863 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6865 *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
6866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6868 *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
6869 to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
6872 *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
6874 *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
6875 incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
6877 *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check
6878 for a wildcard handler. [Dirk <dirkm teleport.com>, Roy Fielding]
6879 PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807
6881 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
6882 allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
6883 ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
6884 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6886 *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
6888 Changes with Apache MPM
6890 *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
6891 dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
6894 *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
6897 *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility
6898 (per default used the config.option file).
6899 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6901 *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
6903 *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
6904 Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
6905 implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
6906 be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
6907 calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
6910 *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
6911 subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
6912 of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
6914 *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
6915 mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
6917 *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
6918 amongst the unix MPMs.
6920 *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
6921 signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
6923 *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
6924 of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
6926 *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
6928 *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
6929 based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
6931 *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
6932 ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase midcoast.com.au>]
6934 *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
6936 *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
6937 changes to the module API... better described by
6938 docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
6940 Changes with Apache pthreads
6942 *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
6943 buff operations (generally over a network).
6944 [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
6946 *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
6947 init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
6948 stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
6950 *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.
6951 [James Morris <jmorris intercode.com.au>]
6953 *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
6954 request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
6956 *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
6957 needed in a threaded server.
6959 *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
6960 [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
6963 Changes with Apache 1.3.9
6965 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
6966 Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
6967 was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
6969 *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
6970 explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
6973 *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
6974 than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
6977 *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
6978 Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
6979 Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
6980 and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
6982 *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
6983 just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
6985 *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
6986 in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
6987 correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
6988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6990 *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
6991 an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
6992 is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
6994 *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
6995 problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
6996 output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
6998 *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
6999 routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
7000 pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
7001 like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
7002 The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
7003 now but deprecated. [dirkx]
7005 *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
7006 represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
7007 files. [Roy Fielding]
7009 *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
7010 checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
7012 *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
7014 *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
7015 assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
7016 exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
7018 *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
7019 src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
7021 *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
7022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7024 *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
7025 searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
7026 some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
7028 *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
7029 module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
7030 usual conventions for the installation procedure).
7031 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7033 *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
7034 for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
7036 *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
7037 types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
7038 by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
7040 Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
7042 *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
7043 response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
7044 long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
7045 [Tom Vaughan <tvaughan aventail.com>, Roy Fielding]
7047 *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
7048 [Ian Turner <iant sequent.com>] PR#4735
7050 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
7051 name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
7053 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
7054 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>]
7056 *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
7057 up across restarts. [David Harris <dharris drh.net>]
7059 *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
7060 properly in mod_access.
7061 ["Paul J. Reder" <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#4770
7063 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
7064 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>] PR#3874
7066 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
7067 [Michael Ottati <michael.ottati compaq.com>, dirkx]
7069 *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
7070 Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
7071 Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
7072 ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
7073 couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
7074 function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
7075 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong <clintdw netcom.com>]
7077 *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
7078 with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
7079 [David McCreedy <McCreedy us.ibm.com>]
7081 *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
7082 Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
7083 we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7085 *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
7086 a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
7087 NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
7089 Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
7091 *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
7092 the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
7093 are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
7094 "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
7095 single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
7096 one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
7097 at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
7099 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
7101 *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
7102 least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
7105 *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
7106 immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
7107 This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
7108 call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
7109 the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
7110 are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
7112 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7114 *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
7115 and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
7116 discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
7117 [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton <jeo101 york.ac.uk>] PR#4499, PR#3806
7119 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
7120 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
7122 *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
7123 built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
7124 install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
7125 editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
7126 create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
7127 used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7129 *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
7130 ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
7131 WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
7132 Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
7133 Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
7134 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7136 *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
7137 error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
7138 behave more like Unix.
7139 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7141 *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
7142 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
7144 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
7145 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
7147 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
7148 "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
7149 [Brian Havard] PR#4505
7151 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
7152 [Randy Terbush <randy covalent.net>]
7154 *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
7155 used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch <fanf demon.net>]
7157 *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
7158 command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7160 *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX
7161 [Rasmus Lerdorf <rasmus raleigh.ibm.com>]
7163 *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
7164 first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
7165 see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
7166 message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
7167 does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
7168 the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
7169 the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
7170 line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
7171 DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
7174 *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
7175 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
7176 [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
7178 *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
7179 Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
7180 listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
7181 could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
7182 All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
7183 the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
7184 MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
7185 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7187 *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
7188 the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
7189 parent/child process management code.
7190 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7192 *) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files.
7193 [John Giannandrea <jg meer.net>] PR#4122
7195 *) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which
7196 has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528
7197 [Henri Gomez <gomez slib.fr>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7199 *) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already
7200 use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7202 *) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:.
7205 *) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well
7206 as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar]
7208 *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
7209 content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
7211 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
7212 never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
7213 attacks. [Koen Holtman <Koen.Holtman cern.ch>]
7215 *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
7216 results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
7218 *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
7219 the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
7220 *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
7221 provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
7222 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
7224 *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
7225 size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
7226 (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
7227 to the man page. [Ken Coar]
7229 *) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in
7230 an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko]
7232 *) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured
7233 during configuration after a restart.
7234 [Aidan Cully <aidan panix.com>] PR#4456
7236 *) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather
7237 than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and
7238 the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both
7239 tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message
7240 if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar]
7242 *) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy
7243 of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]
7245 *) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function
7246 ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex
7247 library. [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum helios.de>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7249 *) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that
7250 environment variables can be set according to the protocol version
7251 (e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar]
7253 *) Add DSO support for OpenStep (Mach 4.2) platform.
7254 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Rex Dieter <rdieter math.unl.edu>] PR#3997
7256 *) Fix sed regex for generating ap_config_auto.h in src/Configure.
7257 [Jan Gallo <gallo pvt.sk>] PR#3690, PR#4373
7259 *) Switch to /bin/sh5 in APACI on Ultrix and friends to avoid problems with
7260 their brain-dead /bin/sh. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4372
7262 *) Better DSO flags recognition on NetBSD platforms using ELF.
7263 [Todd Vierling <tv pobox.com>] PR#4310
7265 *) Always log months in english format for %t in mod_log_config.
7266 [Petr Lampa <lampa fee.vutbr.cz>] PR#4366, 679
7268 *) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and
7269 HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on
7270 "/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req*
7271 routines will deal with the access issues. (It's now possible to
7272 have {site|group|project|customer|...} wide readmes and headers.)
7273 [Raymond S Brand <rsbx rsbx.net>, Ken Coar] PR#1574, 3026, 3529,
7276 *) When stat() fails, don't assume anything about the contents of
7277 the struct stat. [Ed Korthof <ed bitmechanic.com>]
7279 *) It's OK for a semop to return EINTR, just loop around and try
7280 again. [Dean Gaudet]
7282 *) Fix configuration engine re-entrant hangups, which solve a
7283 handful of problems seen with mod_perl <Perl> configuration sections
7284 [Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog msg.com.mx>]
7286 *) Mac OS and Mac OS X Server now use the appropriate custom layout
7287 by default when building with APACI; allow for platform-specific
7288 variable defaults in configure. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7290 *) Do setgid() before initgroups() in http_main; some platforms
7291 zap the grouplist when setgid() is called. This was fixed in
7292 suexec earlier, but the main httpd code missed the change.
7293 [Rob Saccoccio <robs InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2579
7295 *) Add recognition of .tgz as a gzipped tarchive.
7296 [Bertrand de Singly <bertrand.de-singly polytechnique.fr>] PR#2364
7298 *) mod_include's fsize/flastmod should allow only relative paths, just
7299 like "include file". [Jaroslav Benkovsky <benkovsk pha.pvt.cz>]
7301 *) OS/2: Add support for building loadable modules using DLLs.
7304 *) Add iconsdir, htdocsdir, and cgidir to config.layout.
7307 *) Fix minor but annoying bug with the test for Configuration.tmpl
7308 being newer than Configuration so that it is less likely to fail
7309 when using APACI and shadow sources. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7311 *) PORT: Add initial support for Mac OS (versions 10.0 and
7312 greater). Use Mac OS X Server layout for now. Clean up dyld code
7313 in unix/os.c, and don't install the dyld error handlers, which

7316 *) Rename Rhapsody layout to "Mac OS X Server". Change install
7317 locations to appropriate ones for user-built (as opposed to

7320 *) Modify mod_autoindex's handling of AddDescription so that the
7321 behaviour matches the documentation. [Ken Coar] PR#1898, 3072.
7323 *) Add functionality to the install-bindist.sh script created by
7324 binbuild.sh to use tar when copying distribution files to the
7325 serverroot. This allows upgrading an existing installation
7326 without nesting the new distribution in the old.
7328 install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install
7329 apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter.
7331 Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files
7332 for apxs and dbmmanage to bindist to allow these scripts to
7333 be properly installed relative to the destination serverroot.

7361 value of the DirectoryIndex directive is a single dot. Also likely
7362 to happen for anyother values of DirectoryIndex that will map back

7449 *) Correct an apparent typo: on the Windows and MPE platforms, the
7450 htpasswd utility was limiting passwords to only 8 characters.
7453 *) EBCDIC platforms: David submitted patches for two bugs in the
7454 MD5 digest port for EBCDIC machines:
7455 a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file
7456 b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong
7457 when the returned file was not converted from EBCDIC, but was a
7458 binary (e.g., image file) in the first place.
7459 [David McCreedy <mccreedy us.ibm.com>]
7461 *) support/htpasswd now permits the password to be specified on the
7462 command line with the '-b' switch. This is useful when passwords
7463 need to be maintained by scripts -- particularly in the Win32
7464 environment. [Ken Coar]
7466 *) Win32: Win32 multiple services patch. Added capability to install and
7467 run multiple copies of apache as individual services.
7470 apache -n apache1 -i -f c:/httpd.conf

7496 *) Correct the signed/unsigned character handling for the MD5 routines;
7497 mismatches were causing compilation problems with gcc -pedantic and
7498 in the TPF cross-compilation. [Ken Coar]
7500 *) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving
7501 a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
7503 *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
7504 a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
7505 ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
7506 This allows for special configurations like
7507 <Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
7508 DefaultType gargle/blurb
7510 Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
7511 when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
7512 Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
7513 files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
7514 The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
7515 much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
7518 *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
7519 for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
7520 the permissions on the proxycachedir.
7521 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7523 *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first
7524 check wether it actually needs to collect garbage. This reduces
7525 the number of fork()s from one/request to just the odd one an hour.
7526 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

7555 *) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown
7556 methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821
7558 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
7559 to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
7561 *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
7562 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced
7563 incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now
7564 work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
7565 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>] PR#3411
7567 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
7568 the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system
7569 DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration
7570 directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton]
7571 PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988

7575 the Apache service on NT. [Paul Sutton] PR#3741
7577 *) WIN32: Apache.exe now contains an icon. [Paul Sutton]
7579 *) PORT: Switch back to using fcntl() locking on Linux -- instabilities
7580 have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel
7581 version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531

7594 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
7595 for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
7597 *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
7598 because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
7599 Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
7600 third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban epfl.ch>] PR#3977
7602 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the

7619 *) Let APACI's configure script correctly complain for unknown --enable-XXX
7620 and --disable-XXX options. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3958
7622 *) Link the shared core bootstrap program (``Rule SHARED_CORE=yes'') also
7623 against libap.a and use its ap_snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid
7624 possible buffer overflows. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7626 *) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init().
7627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7629 *) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout.
7632 *) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order
7633 to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7635 *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
7636 the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7638 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
7639 (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
7640 correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
7641 Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
7642 analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
7644 *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
7645 DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
7646 Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
7647 Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
7648 instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
7649 the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
7650 The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
7652 [Michael van Elst <mlelstv serpens.swb.de>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160
7654 *) Added ap_sub_req_method_uri() for doing a subrequest with a method
7655 other than GET, and const'd the definition of method in request_rec.
7658 *) Use proper pid_t type for saving PIDs in alloc.c. [John Bley]
7660 *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate
7661 when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard]
7663 *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the
7664 UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of
7665 %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
7667 *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce
7668 more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
7670 *) Fixed a few compiler nits. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>]
7672 *) Added informative error messages for failed munmap() and fseek() calls
7673 in http_core.c. [John Bley, Roy Fielding]
7675 *) Added some informative error messages for some failed malloc()
7676 calls. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>, Jim Jagielski]
7678 *) OS/2 ap_os_canonical_filename()'s behaviour is improved: ap_assert()
7679 is removed. This allows <Directory proxy:*> directives to work and
7680 prevents invalid requests from killing the process.
7681 [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
7683 *) Reorganised FAQ document.
7684 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>] PR#2497
7686 *) src/support/: The ApacheBench benchmark program was overhauled by
7687 David N. Welton: you can now have it generate an HTML TABLE, presumably
7688 for integration into other HTML sources. David updated the ab man page
7689 as well and added some missing descriptions. Thanks!
7690 [David N. Welton <davidw prosa.it>]
7692 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows filenames containing
7693 characters in the range 0x80 to 0xff (for example accented characters).
7694 [Paul Sutton] PR#3890
7696 *) Added conditional logging based upon environment variables to
7697 mod_log_config. mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent
7698 are now deprecated. [Ken Coar]
7700 *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real
7701 reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal
7702 server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism
7703 can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to"
7704 note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed.
7705 [Cliff Skolnick, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455, 4086
7707 *) Moved man pages for ab and apachectrl to section 8.
7708 [Wilfredo Sanchez, Roy Fielding]
7710 *) Added -S option to install.sh so that options can be passed to
7711 strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez]
7713 *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles
7714 the test case of no modules being selected. [<chaz reliant.com>]
7716 *) Added a <LimitExcept method ...> sectioning directive that allows
7717 the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that
7718 is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation
7719 of the <Limit> directive. This is particularly useful for controlling
7720 access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by
7721 some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch]
7723 *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but
7724 does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is
7725 being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7727 *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen]
7729 *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being
7730 performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also,
7731 strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases.
7732 [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657
7734 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors.
7737 *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans"
7738 even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding]
7740 *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item()
7741 to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next
7742 list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments,
7743 quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes
7744 insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
7745 [Roy Fielding] PR#2065
7747 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
7748 code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
7749 "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455
7751 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
7752 negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
7753 and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688
7755 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
7756 unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
7757 to get the right result. [Roy Fielding]
7759 *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
7760 negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
7761 (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
7762 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
7763 some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]
7765 *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
7766 file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
7767 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]
7769 *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
7770 searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
7773 *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
7774 error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
7777 *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
7778 displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
7779 Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
7780 going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]
7782 *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
7783 and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
7784 being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password
7785 checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar]
7787 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses
7788 access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
7789 as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.
7791 *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will
7792 make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment.
7795 *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
7796 ap_compat.h. [David White <david persimmon.com>] PR#3725
7798 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.
7799 use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when
7800 the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based.
7801 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773

7806 *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling. [Dean Gaudet]
7808 *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping

7810 impossible to exploit.) [Rick Perry <perry ece.vill.edu>]
7812 *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus
7813 signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.

7816 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
7817 and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
7818 [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671
7820 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
7821 implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
7822 hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
7823 to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
7824 sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
7825 because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
7826 prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
7829 *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
7830 well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
7831 printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]
7833 *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
7834 and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
7837 Changes with Apache 1.3.4
7839 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
7840 and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
7841 mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]
7843 *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
7844 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
7847 *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
7848 filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its
7849 presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
7850 for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar]
7852 *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
7853 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
7854 [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
7856 *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
7857 and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
7858 Run each of the following from the src directory:
7859 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build
7860 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs
7861 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk
7862 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build
7863 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
7864 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
7867 *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
7868 to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]
7870 *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
7871 the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
7872 order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
7873 URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
7874 it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar]
7876 *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
7877 for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699
7879 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
7880 [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz cso.net>] PR#2575
7882 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
7883 search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
7884 for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv pobox.com>] PR#2462
7886 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
7887 compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into
7888 Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim mindspring.com>] PR#3572
7890 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
7891 backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
7892 context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
7893 because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
7894 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
7896 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
7897 making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
7898 depend on other libraries).
7899 [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger gmx.de>]
7901 *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
7902 recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
7903 in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
7904 module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527
7906 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
7907 allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
7908 an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
7909 Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
7911 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
7912 supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
7913 match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
7914 `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
7915 `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
7916 to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
7917 combination with map lookups).
7918 [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7920 *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
7921 forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
7922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7924 *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
7925 user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
7926 `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
7927 (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7929 *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
7930 module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
7931 has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]
7933 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
7934 - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
7935 - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
7936 the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
7937 - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
7938 encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
7939 included within Accept-Encoding.
7940 - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
7941 of large substring sequences.
7942 - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
7945 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
7946 - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
7947 - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
7948 support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
7949 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
7950 - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
7952 - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
7953 processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
7954 values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
7955 - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
7956 - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
7957 rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
7958 e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version.
7959 - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
7960 (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
7961 will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
7963 - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
7964 - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
7965 - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm
7966 to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
7967 - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
7968 negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
7969 - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
7970 file as its best variant
7971 [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3451, 3299, 1987
7973 *) RFC2396 allows the syntax http://host:/path (with no port number)
7974 but the proxy disallowed it (ap_proxy_canon_netloc()).
7975 [David Kristol <dmk bell-labs.com>] PR#3530
7977 *) When modules update/modify the file name in the configfile_t structure,
7978 syntax errors will report the updated name, not the original one.
7979 [Fabien Coelho <coelho cri.ensmp.fr>] PR#3573
7981 *) Correct some filename case assumptions from WIN32 to
7982 CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
7984 *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName
7985 setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet]
7987 *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
7988 rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
7989 This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
7990 the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]
7992 *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
7993 #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
7994 standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
7995 Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]
7997 *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg lentil.org>]
8000 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
8001 and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda discerning.com>] PR#3553
8003 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
8004 the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
8005 command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
8006 instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
8007 So we now changed the command line options this way:
8009 Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
8010 very similar to the popular linker option.
8012 Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
8013 large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also
8014 consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
8016 Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
8017 The manual page was adjusted accordingly.
8018 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2714
8020 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
8021 wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>]
8023 *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
8024 o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
8025 initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
8026 \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
8027 containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
8028 "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
8029 argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
8030 o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
8031 redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
8032 loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
8033 `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
8034 case --with-layout is not used.
8035 o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
8036 Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
8037 config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
8038 four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is
8039 no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
8040 the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
8041 o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
8042 o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
8043 o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
8044 o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns
8045 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8047 *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and
8048 ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module
8049 after loading. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8051 *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
8052 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT to NetBSD/OpenBSD section
8053 of ap_config.h to allow serialized accept for multiport listens.
8054 [Roy Fielding, Curt Sampson] PR#3120
8056 *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section
8057 of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP
8058 was overridden. [Roy Fielding]
8060 *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and
8061 strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247
8063 *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is
8064 defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]
8066 *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
8067 [Tom Serkowski <tks bsdi.com>] PR#3453
8069 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
8070 differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
8071 another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
8072 just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
8073 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
8075 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
8076 since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
8077 when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
8078 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
8080 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
8081 creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
8082 shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
8083 Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
8084 from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
8085 provided through the TOP variable, too.
8086 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
8088 *) Fix negotiation so that a Vary response header is correctly
8089 generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary
8090 in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton]
8092 *) Fix negotiation so that we prefer an encoded variant over an
8093 unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can
8094 accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded
8096 [Paul Ausbeck <paula alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>, Paul Sutton] PR#3447
8098 *) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized
8099 and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.
8100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8102 *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
8103 They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
8104 IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8106 *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
8107 procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
8108 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8110 *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
8111 identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
8112 config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
8113 argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
8115 The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
8116 where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
8117 specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
8119 *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
8120 extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
8121 default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
8122 <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
8125 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
8126 APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
8127 file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
8128 the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
8129 with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.
8130 [Ralf Engelschall, Randy Terbush]
8132 *) mod_include.c:handle_perl() now properly tests for OPT_INCNOEXEC
8133 rather than OPT_INCLUDES [Rainer Schoepf <schoepf uni-mainz.de>]
8135 *) ap_md5_binary() was using sprintf() rather than a table lookup
8136 to convert binary bytes to hex digits.
8137 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>] PR#3409
8139 *) Fix SEGV in TCN negotiation if no variants are acceptable.
8140 [Martin Plechsmid <plechsmi karlin.mff.cuni.cz>] PR#1987
8142 *) API: ap_exists_config_define() function is now "public" [Doug MacEachern]
8144 *) Fix documentation of `Action' directive: It can activate a CGI script
8145 when either a handler or a MIME content type is triggered by the request.
8146 [Andrew Pimlott <pimlott math.harvard.edu>] PR#3340
8148 *) Document the `add' command of `dbmmanage' in `dbmmanage.1' manpage.
8149 [David MacKenzie <djm uu.net>] PR#3394
8151 *) Ignore a "ErrorDocument 401" directive with a full URL and write a
8152 notice to the error log. It is not possible to send a 401 response
8153 and a redirect at the same time. [Lars Eilebrecht]
8155 *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
8156 a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all
8157 bits set (255.255.255.255). This is the second such problem caused
8158 by gcc 2.8.1 compiler. The first being broken semaphore locking.
8161 *) Updated mime.types to reflect current Internet media types
8162 and include a URL to the registry.
8163 [Manoj Kasichainula, Roy Fielding] PR#2380, 2286, 2246
8165 *) SECURITY: Do a more complete check in mod_include to avoid
8166 an infinite loop of recursive SSI includes. [Marc Slemko] PR#3323
8168 *) Add APACI --suexec-docroot and --suexec-logfile options which can be
8169 used to set the document root directory (DOC_ROOT) and the suexec
8170 logfile (LOG_EXEC), respectively. Additionally the --layout option
8171 was changed to show more information about the suEXEC setup.
8172 [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3316, 3357, 3361
8174 *) Added the last two WebDAV status codes of 424 (Failed Dependency)
8175 and 507 (Insufficient Storage) for use by third-party modules.
8178 *) Enabled all of the WebDAV method names for use by third-party
8179 modules, Limit, and Script directives. That includes PATCH,
8180 PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK.
8181 Improved mod_actions.c so that it can use any of the methods
8182 defined in httpd.h. Added ap_method_number_of(method) for
8183 getting the internal method number. [Roy Fielding]
8185 *) PORT: Add a port to the TPF OS. [Joe Moenich <moenich us.ibm.com> and
8188 *) Fix problems with handling of UNC names (e.g., \\host\path)
8189 on Win32. [Ken Parzygnat <kparz us.ibm.com>]
8191 *) Rework os_canonical_*() on Win32 so it's simpler, more
8192 robust, and works. [Ken Parzygnat <kparz us.ibm.com>]
8193 PR#2555, 2915, 3064, 3232
8195 *) Work around incomplete implementation of strftime on Win32.
8196 [Manoj Kasichainula, Ken Parzygnat <kparz us.ibm.com>]
8198 *) Move a typedef to fix compile problems on Linux with 1.x kernels.
8199 [Manoj Kasichainula] PR#3177
8201 *) PORT: Add a port to the Concurrent PowerMAX OS. [Tom Horsley
8202 <Tom.Horsley mail.ccur.com>]
8204 *) WIN32: Log more explicit error messages if spawning an interpreted
8205 script failed, including the command line used to attempt to execute
8206 the interpreter and the Win32 error code returned. [Marc Slemko]
8208 *) Disable sending of error-notes on a 500 (Internal Server Error) response
8209 since it often includes file path info. Enable sending of error-notes
8210 on a 501 (Method Not Implemented). [Roy Fielding] PR#3173
8212 *) http_config.c would respond with 501 (Method Not Implemented) if a
8213 content type handler was specified but could not be found, which
8214 should have been a 500 response. Likewise, mod_proxy.c would responsd
8215 with a 501 if the URI scheme is unrecognized instead of the correct
8216 response of 403 (Forbidden). [Roy Fielding]
8218 *) SECURITY: Eliminate DoS attack when a bad URI path contains what
8219 looks like a printf format escape. [Marc Slemko, Studenten Net Twente]
8221 *) Fix in mod_autoindex: for files where the last modified time stamp was
8222 unavailable, an empty string was printed which was 2 bytes short.
8223 The size and description columns were therefore not aligned correctly.
8224 [Martin Kraemer] (no PR#)
8226 *) Update BS2000 OS code to work with recent versions. Starting with
8227 release A17, the child fork() must be replaced by a _rfork().
8228 (BS2000 only) [Martin Kraemer]
8230 *) Add the actual server_rec structure of the specific Vhost to the
8231 scoreboard file and avoid a string copy (as well as allow some
8232 further future enhancements). [Harrie Hazewinkel
8233 <harrie.hazewinkel jrc.it>]
8235 *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to
8236 on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
8237 in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
8238 supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
8239 mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
8240 the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END
8241 which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
8242 the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).
8243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8245 *) Fix problem with 'apache -k shutdown' and startup event
8246 synchronisation (Win32). [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>]
8249 *) The config parser wasn't correctly noticing a missing '>'
8250 on container start lines (e.g., it wouldn't spot
8251 "<Directory /" as a syntax error). [Ryan Bloom <rbbloom us.ibm.com>]
8254 *) Add a 'RemoveHandler' directive which will selectively remove
8255 all handler associations for the specified file extensions.
8256 [Ryan Bloom <rbbloom us.ibm.com>] PR#1799.
8258 *) Properly handle & allow "nul" and ".*/null" in AccessConfig and
8259 ResourceConfig directives on Win32. Also add a note to the effect
8260 of 'useless User directive ignored on Win32' to the errorlog if
8261 a User directive is encountered on Win32.
8262 [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2078, 2303.
8264 *) Fix multiple whitespace handling in imagemaps for mod_imap which was
8265 broken since Apache 1.3.1 where we took out compressing of multiple
8266 spaces in ap_cfg_getline().
8267 [Ivan Richwalski <ivan seppuku.net>] PR#3249
8269 *) Fix Berkeley-DB/2.x support in mod_auth_db: The data structures were not
8270 initialized correctly and the db_open() call used an invalid mode
8271 parameter. [Ron Klatchko <ron ckm.ucsf.edu>] PR#3171
8273 *) PORT: DSO support for UnixWare 7
8274 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Ron Record <rr sco.com>]
8276 *) Merge the contents of the {srm,access}.conf-dist* files into the
8277 httpd.conf-dist* files. The srm and access files now contain
8278 only comments, and httpd.conf has all the combined contents in
8279 a rational order. [Ken Coar]
8281 *) PORT: DSO/ELF support for FreeBSD 3.0.
8282 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dirk Froemberg <ibex physik.TU-Berlin.DE>]
8284 *) Add a "default-handler" handler that calls the default_hander()
8285 function which is normally called for static content. This allows
8286 you to override a specific handler. [Marc Slemko]
8288 *) Further simplify checking for absolute paths by replacing an
8289 hard-coded syntax check with a call to a routine we already created to
8290 do this. [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2976, 3074
8292 *) Log an error if we encounter a malformed "require" directive
8293 in mod_auth if we know that we know that no other module can
8294 deal with it. [Marc Slemko]
8296 *) Remove ap_private_extern method of hiding conflicting symbols
8297 on the NEXT platform because it is not correct for all versions,
8298 and the versions for which it is correct are unknown.
8299 [Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
8301 *) Fix inheritance of IndexOptions NameWidth and remove unintended
8302 restriction on +NameWidth, +IconHeight, and +IconWidth. [Ken Coar]
8304 *) Fix per-directory config merging for cases in which a 500 error
8305 is encountered in an .htaccess file somewhere down the tree.
8308 *) Minor performance improvement to ap_escape_html(). [Roy Fielding]
8310 *) Fixed a segmentation violation in mod_proxy when a response is
8311 non-cachable. [Roy Fielding, traced by Doug Bloebaum]. PR#2950, 3056
8313 Changes with Apache 1.3.3
8315 *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
8316 specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue
8317 response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
8318 useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]
8320 *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
8321 of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
8322 between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
8323 of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]
8325 *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
8326 revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and
8327 HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the
8328 WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any
8329 of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules.

8441 *) When using ap_log_rerror(), make the error message available to the

8445 You now must define a BS2000Account name for the server User.
8446 This has fewer security implications than the old approach.
8449 *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX platform: We now use extension `.sl'
8450 instead of `.so' and `SHLIB_PATH' instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on this
8451 platform to make the braindead HPUX linker happy. Notice, for the module
8452 DSOs we don't have to use this, because these are loaded manually (and
8453 not via HPUX' dld). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2905, PR#2968

8464 *) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version
8465 strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard]
8467 *) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C
8468 pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to
8469 determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
8470 we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
8471 portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
8472 configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
8473 approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
8474 the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
8475 As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
8476 existance of the file under /usr/include, too.

8509 because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the
8510 -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and
8511 best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969

8514 functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
8515 "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
8516 (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
8517 real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941
8519 *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
8520 files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727
8522 *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
8523 port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
8524 directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
8525 CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]
8527 *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
8528 on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
8529 any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
8530 case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of
8531 content is if you are using a modification date based setting.

8546 *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
8547 a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
8548 proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
8549 the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914
8551 *) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
8552 allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
8553 character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
8554 error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
8555 (enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
8556 stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
8559 *) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
8560 cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
8561 into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
8562 them out. [Ken Coar]
8564 *) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
8566 + Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
8567 different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
8568 in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
8569 starting directory might send us to /home/).
8570 + When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
8571 URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
8572 browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
8573 slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
8574 and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
8578 *) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
8579 dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
8580 "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
8581 core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.
8582 [Martin Kraemer] PR#2914
8584 *) new `GprofDir' directive when compiled with -DGPROF, where gprof can
8585 plop gmon.out profile data for each child [Doug MacEachern]

8588 config.status script to be immune against arguments with whitespaces.
8589 [Yves Arrouye <yves apple.com>] PR#2866
8591 *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration
8592 adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper
8593 script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to
8594 be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the
8595 recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems.

8616 *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of
8617 5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8
8618 variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every
8619 release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never
8620 needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)

8630 ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844

8642 compile time, for least astonishment of the user.
8645 *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old"
8646 vhost, request and client information is not displayed.
8649 *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now
8650 run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive.
8653 *) SECURITY [CAN-1999-1199] (cve.mitre.org):
8654 Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2)
8655 cpu time attacks) in header parsing. Add ap_overlap_tables(),
8656 a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations
8657 on tables in a more efficient manner.
8660 *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for
8661 various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
8662 denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line
8663 size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields),
8664 and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize). Also added
8665 a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the
8666 request message body. [Roy Fielding]

8669 STATUS not defined. [Jim Jagielski]

8684 *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their
8685 state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski]
8687 *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this
8688 was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3. Add a new
8689 function ap_log_rerror() which takes a request_rec * and
8690 formats it appropriately. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2661
8692 *) Cure ap_cfg_getline() of its nasty habit of compressing internal
8693 whitespace in input lines -- including within quoted strings.
8695 but leading and trailing whitespace should continue to be
8696 stripped [Martin Kraemer]
8698 *) Cleanup of the PrintPath/PrintPathOS2 helper functions. Avoid
8699 the ugly use of an env. variable and use command-line args for
8700 alternate $PATH. Make more like advanced 'type's as well.
8703 *) The IRIXN32 Rule was being ignored. Configure now correctly adds

8707 *) Clean up a warning in mod_proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

8711 directory was renamed to src/os/os2/ for consistency.
8712 [Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8714 *) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO
8715 files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries).
8716 This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
8717 linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is
8718 disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
8719 rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
8720 want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.

8823 Changes with Apache 1.3.1
8825 *) Disable the incorrect entry for application/msword in the
8826 mod_mime_magic "magic" file because it also matches other Office
8827 documents. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2608
8829 *) Fix broken RANLIB handling in src/Configure (the entry from
8830 src/Configuration.tmpl was ignored) and additionally force RANLIB to
8831 /bin/true under HP/UX where ranlib exists but is deprecated.
8832 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2627
8834 *) 'apachectl status' failed on some systems.
8835 [Steve VanDevender <stevev darkwing.uoregon.edu>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#2613
8837 *) Add new flags for ap_unparse_uri_components() to make it generate
8838 the scheme://sitepart string only, or to omit the query string.
8841 *) WIN32: Canonicalize ServerRoot before checking to see if it
8842 is a valid directory. The failure to do this caused certain
8843 ServerRoot settings (eg. "ServerRoot /apache") to be improperly
8844 rejected. [Marc Slemko]
8846 *) Global renaming of C header files to both get rid of conflicts with third
8847 party packages and to again reach consistency:
8848 1. conf.h -> ap_config.h
8849 2. conf_auto.h -> ap_config_auto.h \ these are now merged
8850 3. ap_config.h -> ap_config_auto.h / in the config process
8851 4. compat.h -> ap_compat.h
8852 5. apctype.h -> ap_ctype.h
8853 Backward compatibility files for conf.h and compat.h were created.
8855 *) mod_mmap_static will no longer take action on requests unless at
8856 least one "mmapfile" directive is present in the configuration.
8857 This experimental module has to do some black magic to operate
8858 inside the current API and thus creates side-effects for other
8859 modules under some circumstances.
8860 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8862 *) Add conservative ticks around more egrep arguments in top-level configure
8863 to avoid problems under brain-dead platforms like Digital UNIX (OSF1).
8864 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2596
8866 *) mod_rewrite created RewriteLock files under the UID of the parent
8867 process, thus the child processes had no write access to the files.
8868 Now a chown() is done on the file to the uid of the children,
8869 if applicable. [Lars Eilebrecht, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2341
8871 *) Autogenerate some HAVE_XXXXX_H defines in conf_auto.h (determined via
8872 TestCompile) instead of defining them manually in conf.h based on less
8873 accurate platform definitions. This way we no longer have to fiddle with
8874 OS-type and/or OS-version identifiers to discover whether a system header
8875 file exists or not. Instead we now directly check for the existence of
8876 those esoteric ones.

8880 *) mod_setenvif (BrowserMatch* and friends) will now match a missing
8881 field with "^$". [Ken Coar]
8883 *) Set the RTLD_GLOBAL dlopen mode parameter to allow dynamically loaded
8884 modules to load their own modules dynamically. This improves mod_perl
8885 and mod_php3 when these modules are loaded dynamically into Apache.
8888 *) Cache a proxied request in the event that the client cancels the
8889 transfer, provided that the configured percentage of the file has
8890 already been transfered. It works for HTTP transfers only. The
8891 new configuration directive is called CacheForceCompletion.

8904 with config file parsing, and URL parsing. We now define
8905 ap_isdigit(), ap_isupper(), ... which cast to an (unsigned char).
8906 This should work on most modern unixes.

8916 *) The APACI libexecdir was not extended with an "apache/" subdir
8917 if the installation prefix didn't already contain "apache", but
8918 it should be because the DSO files are Apache-specific. Now
8919 libexecdir is treated the same way sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir
8920 and includedir are already treated.

8927 the connection. ap_bflush() misdiagnosed a failure as a success.
8930 *) add support for #perl arg interpolation in mod_include

8942 exists, like BSDI or FreeBSD, etc).
8943 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2505
8945 *) Move the initial suEXEC-related startup message from plain
8946 fprintf()/stderr to a delayed ap_log_error()-based one to avoid problems
8947 when Apache is started from inetd (instead of standalone). Under this
8948 situation startup messages on stderr lead to problems (the line is sent
8949 to the client in front of the requested document).

8965 [Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
8967 *) PORT: Change support/apachectl to use "kill -0 $pid" to test if the
8968 httpd is running. This should be more portable than figuring out
8969 which of three dozen different versions of "ps" are installed.
8972 *) WIN32: If we can't figure out how to execute a file in a script
8973 directory, bail out of the request with an error message. [W G Stoddard]
8975 *) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate directories consisting of three or more dots;
8976 these are treated by Win32 as if they are ".." but are not detected by
8977 other machinery within Apache. This is something of a kludge but
8978 eliminates a security hole. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ben Laurie]
8980 *) Move ap_escape_quotes() from src/ap to src/main/util.c; it uses
8981 pools and thus pollutes libap (until the pool stuff is moved there).
8984 *) IndexIgnore should be case-blind on Win32 (and any other case-aware
8985 but case-insensitive platforms). New #define for this added to conf.h
8986 (CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM). [Ken Coar] PR#2455
8988 *) Enable DSO support for OpenBSD in general, not only for 2.x, because it
8989 also works for OpenBSD 1.x. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

8994 *) Let APACI's configure script determine some configuration parameters
8995 (Group, Port, ServerAdmin, ServerName) via some intelligent tests to
8996 remove some of the classical hurdles for new users when setting up
8997 Apache. This is done per default because it is useful for the average
8998 user. Package authors can use the --without-confadjust option to disable
8999 these configuration adjustments.
9000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9002 *) Added an EXTRA_DEPS configuration parameter which can be used
9003 to add an extra Makefile dependency for the httpd target, for instance
9004 to external third-party libraries, etc.
9005 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9007 *) Add <IfDefine>..</IfDefine> sections to the core module (with same spirit
9008 as <IfModule>..</IfModule> sections) which can be used to skip or process
9009 contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command
9010 line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like <IfDefine
9011 ReverseProxy> instead of physically ones (e.g. <IfModule mod_proxy.c>)
9012 and thus especially can be used for conditionally loading DSO-based
9013 modules via LoadModule, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9015 *) PORT: clean up a warning in mod_status for OS/2. [Brian Havard]
9017 *) Make table elements const. This may prevent obscure errors. [Ben Laurie]
9019 *) Fix parsing of FTP `SIZE' responses in proxy module: The newline was not
9020 truncated which forced following HTTP headers to be data in the HTTP
9021 reponse. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Charles Fu <ccwf bacchus.com>]
9024 *) Portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed
9025 in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for
9026 instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined
9027 output of Awk. [Bill Houle <bhoule sandiegoca.ncr.com>] PR#2435
9029 *) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing
9030 integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting
9031 them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather
9032 than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and
9033 make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first
9034 regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good
9035 in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large
9036 directories. [Ken Coar]
9038 *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation
9039 of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used
9040 configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by
9041 just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between
9043 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9045 *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
9046 If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
9047 non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
9048 configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
9049 on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
9050 because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
9051 This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
9052 to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run
9053 via `apachectl configtest'.

9192 ap_spawn_child_err_buff became ap_bspawn_child
9193 spawn_child was obsoleted and moved to compat.h
9196 *) Upgrade the child spawning code in mod_rewrite for the RewriteMap
9197 programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses
9198 CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in
9199 the past under Win32).
9200 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9202 *) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the
9203 generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9205 *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
9206 was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
9207 proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
9208 purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
9209 was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
9210 its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
9211 cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
9212 The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
9213 was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made

9217 *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed.
9220 *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"
9221 from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building
9222 ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed
9223 only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
9224 user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.

9288 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached

9290 of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
9291 [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094
9293 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
9294 is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
9295 somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
9296 provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
9297 variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
9298 reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
9299 building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.

9302 *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
9303 provides for more control over the format of the Server:

9316 - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
9317 - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
9318 Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
9319 - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
9320 any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
9322 - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
9323 - updated the dependencies theirself
9324 - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
9325 - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
9326 already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
9327 directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
9328 contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
9329 - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
9330 - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
9332 - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
9333 of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
9334 - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
9335 existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
9336 - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
9337 with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
9338 is no longer needed.
9339 - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
9340 first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner

9343 *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
9346 *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
9349 *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
9350 [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060
9352 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
9353 and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
9354 device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
9355 we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
9356 [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
9358 *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
9359 due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
9360 SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
9361 descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
9363 *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
9364 like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
9365 if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
9366 and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
9367 in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
9368 necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
9369 or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
9370 necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
9373 *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
9374 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
9375 htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
9377 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
9378 (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
9379 If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
9380 and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
9381 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
9382 configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
9383 had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
9384 UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
9385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9387 *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
9388 - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
9389 shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
9390 - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
9391 - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
9392 only when no shadow trees already exists
9393 - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
9394 when no more shadow trees exists
9395 - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
9396 as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
9397 - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
9398 Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
9399 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9401 *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
9402 AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
9403 declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
9404 augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
9405 with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
9406 AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
9407 into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056
9409 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
9412 *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
9413 [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
9415 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
9416 to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
9419 *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
9420 are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
9421 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
9422 and not the original statically list from modules.c
9423 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
9424 later use by the AddModule command.
9425 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
9426 target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
9427 this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
9428 confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
9429 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
9430 target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
9431 via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
9432 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
9433 is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
9434 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
9435 comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
9436 of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
9437 the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
9438 This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
9439 statically and dynamically linked modules.

9443 Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

9448 *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other
9449 places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551
9451 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
9452 zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert twinsun.com>]
9455 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature
9456 feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing
9457 r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some
9458 functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead,
9459 because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.
9462 *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline. Worth
9463 1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet]
9465 *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c
9466 when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski,
9469 *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize
9470 the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts
9471 would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer]
9473 *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole
9474 absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done
9475 in unix. [Martin Kraemer]
9477 *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in
9478 the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there)
9479 and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting.
9480 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>]
9482 *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with

9509 *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3.
9510 Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
9511 from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
9512 mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
9513 vendor functions itself.

9516 *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
9517 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165
9519 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
9520 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158
9522 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
9523 AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
9524 accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
9525 which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
9526 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9528 *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
9529 that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
9530 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9532 *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
9535 *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
9536 is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
9537 whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer]
9539 *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
9540 of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
9541 maintainers from Red Hat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
9542 little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
9543 provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
9544 --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
9545 --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
9546 side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
9547 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9549 *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
9550 by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package
9551 maintainers (especially Debian and Red Hat) who build for the real prefix
9552 via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
9553 "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
9554 the target location on their system.
9555 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9557 *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now

9568 [Ralf S. Engelschall]

9575 o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation
9576 o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one
9577 o fix DSO consistency check
9578 o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout
9579 o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub

9586 initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after
9587 the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9589 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
9590 `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
9591 customize these for own MIME and content types.

9598 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105
9600 *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell

9614 *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first
9615 let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and
9616 second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not

9627 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089
9629 *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson <jaearick colby.edu>]
9631 *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
9632 out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
9633 to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
9634 (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
9636 *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
9637 ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
9640 *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
9641 --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
9642 --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9644 *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
9645 to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
9646 to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9648 *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
9649 ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
9650 message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
9651 to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
9653 *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
9654 stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.

9662 /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9664 Changes with Apache 1.3b6
9666 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
9668 *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
9669 interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
9670 calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9672 *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
9673 APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
9674 Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9676 *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
9677 To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
9678 we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
9680 - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
9681 - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
9682 - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
9683 cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
9684 For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
9685 created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
9686 by third-party module authors.
9689 *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
9690 problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
9691 to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
9692 available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
9693 dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
9694 httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
9695 Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
9696 This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
9697 to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
9698 user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
9699 automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
9700 hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
9701 this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
9702 essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
9703 manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
9704 where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
9705 features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
9706 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
9708 *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
9710 *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
9711 inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
9712 conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
9713 "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
9714 process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
9715 source tree as it was for distribution.
9716 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9718 *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
9719 the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
9720 initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
9721 variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
9722 prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
9723 This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
9724 user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9726 *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
9727 [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr mixi.net>] PR#2045
9729 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of
9730 indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also
9731 remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
9732 to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]
9734 *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
9735 since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]
9737 *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
9739 *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
9740 experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
9741 an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
9742 prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules.
9743 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9745 *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
9746 specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
9747 manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
9748 the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
9749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9751 *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
9752 on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
9753 installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
9754 the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
9755 for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
9756 warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
9757 the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9759 *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
9760 and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
9761 Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
9762 a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
9763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9765 *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
9766 installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
9767 dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
9768 this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The
9769 (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
9770 Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
9771 (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
9772 module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
9773 tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
9774 dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
9775 modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
9776 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
9777 on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
9778 first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
9779 APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9781 *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.
9782 [<Rainer.Scherg rexroth.de>] PR#1326, #1573, #1942
9784 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
9785 so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
9788 *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
9789 the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
9790 out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
9791 complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
9792 script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is
9793 to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
9794 the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the

9796 configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
9797 customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

9809 Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski]
9811 *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
9812 was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9814 *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
9815 a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
9816 routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines
9817 psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
9818 required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up
9819 various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
9822 *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because
9823 ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
9824 snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet]
9826 *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This
9827 is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
9828 are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
9829 maintained across exec().

9854 properly marked for closure on fork().
9855 [Jürgen Keil <jk tools.de>] PR#2000
9857 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
9858 therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
9859 is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
9860 Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with
9861 %2f in them (occurs quite often in
9862 http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer]
9864 *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches. [Dean Gaudet]

9877 header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183
9879 *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive:
9880 Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old
9881 name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to

9891 *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1,
9892 suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date
9893 and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
9894 document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
9895 Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9897 *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
9898 Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
9899 INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
9900 generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
9901 information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
9902 the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
9903 verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
9904 added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9906 *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
9907 from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the
9908 response performance of an Apache installation. This version is
9909 officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement
9910 statements in <199803171224.NAA24547 en1.engelschall.com> in apache-core.
9911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9913 *) API: Various core functions that are definately not part of the API
9914 have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT. Still
9915 more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general
9916 use by modules. [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
9918 *) mod_proxy was not clearing the Proxy-Connection header from
9919 requests; now it does. This did not violate any spec, however
9920 causes poor interactions when you are talking to remote proxies.
9921 [Marc Slemko] PR#1741

9927 with a line termination character. [Marc Slemko] PR#1869, 1909
9929 *) Performance tweak to mod_log_config. [Dmitry Khrustalev]
9931 *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to
9932 "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header
9933 and regex. Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in
9934 the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by
9935 doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
9938 *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
9939 to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
9940 warnings [Jim Jagielski]
9942 *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
9945 *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
9946 mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
9947 checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
9948 HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
9949 checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
9950 from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
9951 the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
9952 especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
9953 be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together.
9954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9956 *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]
9958 *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source
9959 and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte. [Dean Gaudet]
9961 *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they
9962 end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems
9963 that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet]
9965 *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified
9966 port is in the appropriate range. [Ben Hyde]
9968 *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
9969 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>]
9971 *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
9972 (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
9973 ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
9974 modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
9975 building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
9976 least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9978 *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
9979 content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They
9980 must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
9981 be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs
9982 related to this. [Dean Gaudet]
9984 *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
9985 treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There
9986 is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup().
9989 *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
9990 are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
9991 error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9993 *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
9994 environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes
9995 with mod_setenv. So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit
9996 TZ variable. [Jay Soffian <jay cimedia.com>] PR#1888
9998 *) rputs() did not calculate r->sent_bodyct properly.
9999 [Siegmund Stirnweiss <siegst kat.ina.de>] PR#1900
10001 *) The CGI spec says that REMOTE_HOST should be set to the remote hosts's

10003 it to the IP address when unavailable.
10004 [Tony Finch <fanf demon.net>] PR#1925
10006 *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling
10007 modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and
10008 OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added. This way shared
10009 object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux,
10010 Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms!
10011 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10013 *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap"
10014 scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD
10015 and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD. [Dean Gaudet]
10017 *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
10018 mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
10019 files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated
10020 through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
10021 but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
10022 lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
10023 parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
10024 RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
10025 the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
10026 hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
10028 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no
10029 longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
10030 URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
10031 AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
10032 not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can
10033 be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
10034 does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
10035 also consistent with the Alias directive.
10036 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#1440
10038 *) Fix bug with mod_mime_magic causing certain files, including files
10039 of length 0, to result in no response from the server.
10042 *) The Configure script now generates src/include/ap_config.h which
10043 contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform.
10044 This file can then be included by external modules before including
10045 any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from
10046 Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were
10047 made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf
10048 defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
10050 *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where <VirtualHost> sections exist
10051 but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no
10052 chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus
10053 receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by
10054 remembering the server together with the config structure while
10055 configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a
10056 difference between the remembered server and the one calling us.
10057 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1790
10059 *) Fixed the DBM RewriteMap support for mod_rewrite: First the support now
10060 is automatically disabled under configure time when the dbm_xxx functions
10061 are not available. Second, two heavy source code errors in the DBM
10062 support code were fixed. This makes DBM RewriteMap's usable again after
10063 a long time of brokenness. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1696
10065 *) Now all configuration files support Unix-style line-continuation via
10066 the trailing backslash ("\") character. This enables us to write down
10067 complex or just very long directives in a more readable way. The
10068 backslash character has to be really the last character before the
10069 newline and it has not been prefixed by another (escaping) backslash.

10081 *) WIN32: Preserve trailing slash in canonical path (and hence
10082 in PATH_INFO). [Paul Sutton, Ben Laurie]
10084 *) PORT: USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT has proven unreliable
10085 depending on the rev of Solaris and what mixture of modules
10086 are in use. So it has been disabled, and Solaris is back to
10087 using USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. Users may experiment with
10088 USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT at their own risk, it may speed
10089 up static content only servers. Or it may fail unpredictably.

10092 *) mod_test_util_uri.c created which tests the logic in util_uri.c.
10095 *) API: Rewrite of absoluteURI handling, and in particular how
10096 absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a
10097 "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been
10098 supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols
10099 which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests.
10101 In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a
10102 request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so
10103 that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set
10104 by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or
10105 translate_names phase.
10107 Plus changes to the virtualhost test suite for absoluteURI testing.
10109 This fixes several bugs with the proxy proxying requests to vhosts
10110 managed by the same httpd.
10113 *) API: Cleanup of code in http_vhost.c, and remove vhost matching
10114 code from mod_rewrite. The vhost matching is now performed by a
10115 globally available function matches_request_vhost(). [Dean Gaudet]

10131 *) API: A new source module main/util_uri.c; It contains a routine
10132 parse_uri_components() and friends which breaks a URI into its component
10133 parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called
10134 parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules.
10135 Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI
10136 components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part
10137 from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure,
10138 you find on a ready-for-use basis:
10139 scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */
10140 hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */
10141 user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
10142 password; /* password, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
10143 hostname; /* hostname from URI (or from Host: header) */
10144 port_str; /* port string (integer representation is in "port") */
10145 path; /* the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */
10146 query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */
10147 fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */
10148 This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in
10149 code complexity for the proxy module (and maybe the vhost logic).
10152 *) Make all possible meta-construct expansions ($N, %N, %{NAME} and
10153 ${map:key}) available for all location where a string is created in
10154 mod_rewrite rewriting rulesets: 1st arg of RewriteCond, 2nd arg of

10156 possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation
10157 locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

10196 particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential
10197 functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using
10198 Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of
10199 servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and
10200 `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an
10201 essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass
10202 virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using

10270 semantics (* does not match /). To fix this, <Files> now
10271 apply only to the basename of the request filename. This
10272 fixes some other inconsistencies in <Files> semantics

10280 *) Various errors from select() and accept() in child_main() would
10281 result in an infinite loop. It seems these two tickle kernel
10282 or library bugs occasionally, and result in log spammage and
10283 a generally bad scene. Now the child exits immediately,
10284 which seems to be a good workaround.

10298 Changes with Apache 1.3b5
10300 *) Source file dependencies in Makefile.tmpl files throughout the
10301 source tree were updated to accurately reflect reality.
10304 *) Preserve the content encoding given by the AddEncoding directive
10305 when the client doesn't otherwise specify an encoding.

10308 *) Sort out problems with canonical filename handling happening too late.
10309 [Dean Gaudet, Ben Laurie]
10311 Changes with Apache 1.3b4
10313 *) The module structure was modified to include a *dynamic_load_handle
10314 in the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF portion, and the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER
10315 has been bumped accordingly. [Paul Sutton]
10317 *) All BrowserMatch directives mentioned in
10318 htdocs/manual/known_client_problems.html are in the default
10319 configuration files. [Lars Eilebrecht]
10321 *) MiNT port update. [Jan Paul Schmidt]
10323 *) HTTP/1.1 requires x-gzip and gzip encodings be treated
10324 equivalent, similarly for x-compress and compress. Apache
10325 now ignores a leading x- when comparing encodings. It also
10326 preserves the encoding the client requests (for example if
10327 it requests x-gzip, then Apache will respond with x-gzip
10328 in the Content-Encoding header).
10329 [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1772
10331 *) Fix a memory leak on keep-alive connections. [Igor Tatarinov]
10333 *) Added mod_so module to support dynamic loading of modules on Unix
10334 (like mod_dld for Win32). This replaces mod_dld.c. Use SharedModule
10335 instead of AddModule in Configuration to build shared modules
10336 [Sameer Parekh, Paul Sutton]
10338 *) Minor cleanups to r->finfo handling in some modules.
10341 *) Abstract read()/write() to ap_read()/ap_write().
10342 Makes it easier to add other types of IO code such as SFIO.
10345 *) API: Generalize default_port manipulations to make support of
10346 different protocols easier. [Ben Laurie, Randy Terbush]
10348 *) There are many cases where users do not want Apache to form
10349 self-referential urls using the "canonical" ServerName and Port.
10350 The new UseCanonicalName directive (default on), if set to off
10351 will cause Apache to use the client-supplied hostname and port.

10355 [Michael Douglass <mikedoug texas.net>, Dean Gaudet]
10356 PR#315, 459, 485, 1433
10358 *) Yet another rearrangement of the source tree.. now all the common
10359 header files are in the src/include directory. The -Imain -Iap
10360 references in Makefiles have been changed to the simpler -Iinclude
10361 instead. In addition to simplifying the build a little bit, this
10362 also makes it clear when a module is referencing something in a
10363 other than kosher manner (e.g., the proxy including mod_mime.h).
10364 Module-private header files (the proxy, mod_mime, the regex library,
10365 and mod_rewrite) have not been moved to src/include; nor have
10366 the OS-abstraction files. [Ken Coar]
10368 *) Fix a bug where r->hostname didn't have the :port stripped
10369 from it. [Dean Gaudet]
10371 *) Tweaked the headers_out table size, and the subprocess_env
10372 table size guess in rename_original_environment(). Added
10373 MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE which can help discover make_table()
10374 calls that use too small an initial guess, see alloc.c.
10377 *) Options and AllowOverride weren't properly merging in the main
10378 server setting inside vhosts (only an issue when you have no
10379 <Directory> or other section containing an Options that affects
10380 a request). Options +foo or -foo in the main_server wouldn't
10381 affect the main_server's lookup defaults. [Dean Gaudet]
10383 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
10386 *) r->allowed handling cleaned up in the standard modules.
10389 *) Some case-sensitivity issues cleaned up to be consistent with
10390 RFC2068. [Dean Gaudet]
10392 *) SIGURG doesn't exist everywhere.
10393 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
10395 *) mod_unique_id was erroneously generating a second unique id when
10396 an internal redirect occured. Such redirects occur, for example,
10397 when processing a DirectoryIndex match. [Dean Gaudet]
10399 *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup()
10400 of the key and value. But in many cases this is not required
10401 because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built
10402 by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn,
10403 table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these
10404 routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and
10405 standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines.
10406 The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations.
10408 Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value
10409 which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only
10410 safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of
10411 the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table.
10412 i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main
10413 request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the
10414 main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as
10415 the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper
10416 usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details.
10417 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>, Dean Gaudet]
10419 *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files"
10420 which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly.
10421 Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no
10422 MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled.
10425 *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts
10426 which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts
10427 appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of
10428 "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set.
10429 [Martin Kraemer, with code from Peter Wemm <peter zeus.dialix.oz.au>
10432 *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should
10433 have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even
10434 some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition
10435 to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile
10436 time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change
10437 facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table
10438 structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts()
10439 to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet]
10441 *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP
10442 library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf]
10444 *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform.
10447 *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed:
10449 SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
10451 Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards
10452 and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the
10453 HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the
10454 OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for
10455 the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD
10456 and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to
10457 determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache
10458 to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard.
10461 *) PORT: UnixWare 2.1.2 SMP appears to require USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT,
10462 as do various earlier versions. It should be safe on all versions.
10463 Unixware 1.x appears to have the same SIGHUP bug as solaris does with
10464 the slack code. A few other cleanups for Unixware.

10467 *) PORT: A/UX can handle single-listen accepts without mutex
10468 locking, so we add SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. [Jim Jagielski]
10470 *) When die() happens we need to eat any request body if one exists.
10471 Otherwise we can't continue with a keepalive session. This shows up
10472 as a POST problem with MSIE 4.0, typically against pages which are
10473 authenticated. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
10475 *) If you define SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION then the Authorization
10476 header will be passed to CGIs. This is generally a security hole, so
10477 it's not a default. [Marc Slemko] PR#549

10484 *) suexec errors now include the errno/description. [Marc Slemko] PR#1543
10486 *) PORT: OSF/1 now uses USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT to solve PR#467.
10487 The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that
10488 even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of
10489 magnitude slower. It also uses SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT so
10490 that single socket users will see no difference. [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
10492 *) "File does not exist" error message was erroneously including the
10493 errno. [Marc Slemko]
10495 *) Improve the warning message generated when a client drops the
10496 connection (hits stop button, etc.) during a send. [Roy Fielding]
10498 *) Defining GPROF will disable profiling in the parent and enable it
10499 in the children. If you're profiling under Linux this is pretty much
10500 necessary because SIGPROF is lost across a fork(). [Dean Gaudet]
10502 *) htdigest and htpasswd needed slight tweaks to work on OS/2 and WIN32.

10512 *) Some const declarations in mod_imap.c that were added for debugging
10513 purposes caused some compilers heartburn without adding any
10514 significant value, so they've been removed. [Ken Coar]
10516 *) The src/main/*.h header files have had #ifndef wrappers added to
10517 insulate them against duplicate calls if they get included through
10518 multiple paths (e.g., in .c files as well as other .h files).
10521 *) The libap routines now have a header file for their prototypes,
10522 src/ap/ap.h, to ease their use in non-httpd applications. [Ken Coar]
10524 *) mod_autoindex with a plaintext header file would emit the <PRE>
10525 start-tag before the HTML preamble, rather than after the preamble
10526 but before the header file contents. [John Van Essen <jve gamers.org>]
10529 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
10530 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
10531 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
10533 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
10534 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
10535 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
10537 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
10538 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
10540 *) The "Connection" header could be sent back with multiple "close"
10541 tokens. Not an error, but a waste.
10542 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1683
10544 *) mod_rewrite's RewriteLog should behave like mod_log_config, it
10545 shouldn't force hostname lookups. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1684
10547 *) "basic" auth needs a case-insensitive comparison.
10548 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1666
10550 *) For maximum portability, the environment passed to CGIs should
10551 only contain variables whose names match the regex
10552 /[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*/. This is now enforced by stamping
10553 underscores over any character outside the regex. This
10554 affects HTTP_* variables, in a way that should be backward
10555 compatible for all the standard headers; and affects variables
10556 set with SetEnv/BrowserMatch and similar directives.
10559 *) mod_speling returned incorrect HREF's when an ambigous match
10560 was found. Noticed by <robinton amtrash.comlink.de> (Soeren Ziehe)

10567 *) PORT: Fix problem killing children when terminating. Allow ^C
10568 to shut down the server. [Brian Havard]
10570 *) pstrdup() is implicit in calls to table_* functions, so there's
10571 no need to do it before calling. Clean up a few cases.

10595 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
10596 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. [Dean Gaudet]
10598 *) WIN32: overhaul of multithreading code. Shutdowns are now graceful
10599 (connections are not dropped). Code can handle graceful restarts
10600 (but there is as yet no way to signal this to Apache). Various
10601 other cleanups. [Paul Sutton]
10603 *) The aplog_error changes specific to 1.3 introduced a buffer
10604 overrun in the (now legacy) log_printf function. Fixed.
10607 *) mod_digest didn't properly deal with proxy authentication. It
10608 also lacked a case-insensitive comparision of the "Digest"
10609 token. [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1599
10611 *) A few cleanups in mod_status for efficiency. [Dean Gaudet]

10620 ap_cpystrn() for performance and functionality reasons.

10638 alloc.c (affects win32 only). [Ben Hyde]
10640 *) non-WIN32 was missing destroy_mutex definition. [Ben Hyde]
10642 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly.
10643 [Ben Reser <breser regnow.com>] PR#1366
10645 *) The bputc() macro was not properly integrated with the chunking
10646 code; in many cases modules using bputc() could cause completely
10647 bogus chunked output. (Typically this will show up as problems
10648 with Internet Explorer 4.0 reading a page, but other browsers
10649 having no problem.) [Dean Gaudet]
10651 *) Create LARGE_WRITE_THRESHOLD define which determines how many
10652 bytes have to be supplied to bwrite() before it will consider
10653 doing a writev() to assemble multiple buffers in one system
10654 call. This is critical for modules such as mod_include,
10655 mod_autoindex, mod_php3 which all use bputc()/bputs() of smaller
10656 strings in some cases. The result would be extra effort
10657 setting up writev(), and in many cases extra effort building
10658 chunks. The default is 31, it can be overriden at compile
10659 time. [Dean Gaudet]
10661 *) Move the gid switching code into the child so that log files

10783 cleanups there. This fixes a bug with reliable piped logs.
10786 *) mod_autoindex wasn't displaying the ReadmeName file at the bottom
10787 unless it was also doing FancyIndexes, but it displayed the
10788 HeaderName file at the top under all circumstances. It now shows
10789 the ReadmeName file for simple indices, too, as it should.
10792 *) http_core was mmap()ing even in cases where it wasn't going to
10793 read the file. [Ben Hyde <bhyde gensym.com>]
10795 *) Complete rewrite ;-) of mod_rewrite's URL rewriting engine:
10796 Now the rewriting engine (the heart of mod_rewrite) is organized more
10797 straight-forward, first time well documented and reduced to the really
10798 essential parts. All redundant cases were stripped off and processing now
10799 is the same for both per-server and per-directory context with only a
10800 minimum difference (the prefix stripping in per-dir context). As a
10801 side-effect some subtle restrictions and two recently discovered problems
10802 are gone: Wrong escaping of QUERY_STRING on redirects in per-directory
10803 context and restrictions on the substitution URL on redirects.
10804 Additionally some minor source cleanups were done.

10959 Changes with Apache 1.3b2 (there is no 1.3b1)
10961 *) TestCompile was not passing $LIBS [Dean Gaudet]
10963 *) Makefile.tmpl was not using $CFLAGS in the link phase.
10966 *) Add debugging code to alloc.c. Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
10967 rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
10968 low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
10969 Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
10970 and free() for each object. This is far more expensive and should
10971 only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
10972 Purify. See main/alloc.c for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
10974 *) Configure uses a sh trap and didn't set its exitcode properly.
10975 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1159
10977 *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
10978 explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
10979 From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
10980 only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
10981 vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
10982 the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
10983 moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]
10985 *) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
10986 be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
10987 for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
10988 gcc >= 2.7.x (so that we have fewer support issues with older
10989 versions). [Dean Gaudet]
10991 *) Fix support for Proxy Authentication (we were testing the response
10992 status too early). [Marc Slemko]
10994 *) CoreDumpDirectory directive directs where the core file is
10995 written when a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABORT or SIGABRT are

10999 [Jan Paul Schmidt <Jan.P.Schmidt mni.fh-giessen.de>]
11001 *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
11002 and stderr. stderr will not be detached until after the config
11003 files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
11004 messages. After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
11005 This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
11006 or crontabs. [Dean Gaudet] PR#523
11008 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
11009 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
11010 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
11012 *) send_fb would not detect aborted connections in some situations.

11018 *) mod_imap should only handle GET methods. [Jay Bloodworth]
11020 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
11022 *) mod_autoindex improperly counted &escapes; as more than one
11023 character in the description. It also improperly truncated
11024 descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
11027 *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155). Also
11028 "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
11031 *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
11032 and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
11033 redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
11034 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]
11036 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
11037 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
11038 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]

11047 reporting a select error over and over.
11048 [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>] PR#1107, 987, 588
11050 *) Fixed error in proxy_util.c when looping through multiple host IP
11051 addresses. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#974
11053 *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
11054 buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
11055 bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
11056 buffer boundary. [Dean Gaudet]
11058 *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
11059 the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on. As part of
11060 this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
11061 scoreboard_image was exported. This change fixes a race condition
11062 in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
11063 scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development. [Dean Gaudet]
11065 *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
11066 modules to register children with the parent for maintenance. It
11067 is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD. [Dean Gaudet]
11069 *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
11070 and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
11071 when it is available. The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
11072 by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS. At the moment reliable piped
11073 logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]
11075 *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
11076 meets_conditions(). This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
11077 handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
11078 the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.
11079 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding] PR#895
11081 *) Changes to mod_log_config to allow naming of format strings.
11082 Format nicknames are defined with "LogFormat fmt nickname", and can
11083 be used with "LogFormat nickname" and "CustomLog logtarget nickname".
11086 *) New module, "mod_speling", which can help find files even when
11087 the URL is slightly misspelled. [Martin Kraemer, Alexei Kosut]
11089 *) API: New function child_terminate() triggers the child process to
11090 exit, while allowing the child finish what it needs to for the
11091 current request first.
11092 [Doug MacEachern, Alexei Kosut]
11094 *) Windows now defaults to using full status reports with mod_status.
11095 [Alexei Kosut] PR #1094
11097 *) *Really* disable all mod_rewrite operations if the engine is off.
11098 Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
11099 weren't supposed to be. [Ken Coar] PR #991
11101 *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
11102 the time. Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
11103 show when the child has made forward progress. The parent samples this
11104 counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
11105 progress has been made in the timeout period. This reduces the static
11106 request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29. This scheme is only
11107 used by systems with memory-based scoreboards. [Dean Gaudet]
11109 *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
11110 to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote. [Marc Slemko] PR#1024
11112 *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support
11113 directory. This script allows you to do things such as
11114 "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
11115 line. [Marc Slemko]
11117 *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
11118 simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
11121 *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
11122 an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
11123 external libraries. [Ken Coar]
11125 *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
11126 other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
11127 offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
11128 authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
11129 http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
11130 mod_auth_sql option in the near future.
11132 *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]
11134 *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
11135 Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.
11137 *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
11138 of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
11139 cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]
11141 *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
11142 avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings. It is intended to hold
11143 the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable). An
11144 update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
11145 appropriate. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
11147 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
11148 deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN. The previous
11149 behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
11150 This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
11151 stop working. [Marc Slemko] PR#817
11153 *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
11154 verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
11155 the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
11156 on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
11157 of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]
11159 *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
11160 errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
11162 *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
11163 converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
11164 slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
11165 correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]
11167 *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
11168 Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel <amarkel encore.com>
11169 Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill <sborrill xemplar.co.uk>
11171 *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
11172 configured and running" entry in the error_log. Also build an
11173 object file at link-time that contains the current time
11174 (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
11175 message. [Ken Coar]
11177 *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
11178 This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
11179 the proxy. [Marc Slemko] PR#659
11181 *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the
11182 scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
11183 mod_status to see current server snapshot.
11185 *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
11186 independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
11187 moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
11188 [David J. MacKenzie]
11190 *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
11191 to log. This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
11192 such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]
11194 *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
11195 Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles. The old behavior
11196 of replacing a newline after <title> with a space causes the
11197 title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]
11199 *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.
11200 [David J. MacKenzie]
11202 *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
11203 files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]
11205 *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
11206 new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
11207 (*that's* new). [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352
11209 *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
11210 the server to use mmap() for static files. There are two
11211 compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
11212 required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
11213 number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
11214 default 32768). [Dean Gaudet]
11216 *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
11217 the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect. It is
11218 useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
11219 the headers/contents of the request. It does not run during subrequests
11220 because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
11221 request. [Dean Gaudet]
11223 *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
11224 each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
11227 *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened. This
11228 allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
11231 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
11232 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
11234 *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
11235 accept. In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
11236 locking were used. The method is chosen by the definition of
11237 USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h. xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
11238 and FLOCK for flock(). New options have been added:
11239 - SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
11240 - PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
11241 - USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
11242 Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
11244 - Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
11245 - Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
11246 - IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
11247 work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
11248 [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec vtcom.fr>,
11249 Martijn Koster <m.koster pobox.com>]
11251 *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
11252 mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use. But
11253 in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
11254 redundant to serialize accept(). Not all unixes do a good job with
11255 potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
11256 socket. It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
11257 the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
11258 and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
11259 [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
11261 *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
11262 some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
11263 the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
11264 available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
11265 now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
11266 We no longer default to -O2 optimization. [Jim Jagielski]
11268 *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
11269 module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
11270 Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own
11271 directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can
11272 create one. Modules can add compiler or library information to
11273 generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]
11275 *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in
11276 modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
11277 code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]
11279 *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
11282 *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
11283 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
11284 relative paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
11285 and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]
11287 *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
11288 N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
11289 components in the filename of an object.
11291 To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
11292 - Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
11293 <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
11294 character. For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
11295 match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
11296 like "/home/bob/public_html". This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
11297 - It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
11299 - Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.
11303 *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
11304 and corrupted paths. [Dean Gaudet]
11306 *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
11307 First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
11308 be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
11309 strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
11310 parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
11311 via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
11312 strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
11313 through the use of backreferences.
11314 Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
11315 code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function.
11316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11318 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
11319 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
11320 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
11322 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
11323 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
11326 *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
11327 has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
11328 Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
11329 - the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
11330 - the matching process now is:
11331 - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
11333 - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
11334 - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
11335 name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
11336 *only on name-based vhosts*
11337 - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
11338 [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins sugarat.net>]
11340 *) dbmmanage overhaul:
11341 - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new
11342 - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
11343 GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
11344 - provide better seed for rand
11345 - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
11347 - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
11348 - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
11350 - added `check' command to check a users' password
11351 - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or
11352 dbm files exported with `view'
11353 - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
11356 *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
11357 the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
11358 for its sockets. bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket(). There
11359 was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
11360 registered cleanup. [Dean Gaudet]
11362 *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
11365 *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
11366 [Jason Venner <jason idiom.com>] PR#667
11368 *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
11369 the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
11370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11372 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
11373 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
11375 *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
11376 SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
11377 for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]
11379 *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
11380 (courtesy of Paul Sutton). BrowserMatch* directives are still
11381 available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
11382 UnSetEnvIfZero directives. [Ken Coar]
11384 *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
11385 order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
11386 REMOTE_HOST). The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
11389 *) mod_access overhaul:
11390 - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
11391 and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
11392 - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config time.
11393 - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
11394 the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
11395 - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
11396 no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
11397 doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
11398 hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
11399 without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
11402 *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
11403 while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
11404 the large write and the buffer into a single writev(). (This is
11405 in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
11408 *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
11409 Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block. Cleaned
11410 up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c. Fixed
11411 a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
11412 of a response to be unduly delayed. [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]
11414 *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure. This is called
11415 once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s
11416 e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
11417 [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
11419 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
11420 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
11423 *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
11424 in some cases, but not in others. It now avoids it in all cases.
11427 *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
11428 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>] PR#904
11430 *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
11431 [Alexander L Jones <alex systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732
11433 *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
11434 by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
11435 or descending order. Just click on the column header. [Ken Coar]
11437 *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
11438 CPUs like the Alpha. Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
11439 the relatively safe direction. [Dean Gaudet] PR#344
11441 *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
11442 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>] PR#683
11444 *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
11445 listening socket. [Dean Gaudet]
11447 *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
11448 spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
11449 doubling each second. It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
11450 since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
11451 setting. The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
11452 the maximum. [Dean Gaudet]
11454 *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
11455 CGI scripts. This means that data will be sent to the client
11456 as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
11457 buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
11458 could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
11459 or output a complete buffer. It is no longer necessary to use an
11460 "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output. Given that most CGIs are written
11461 in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
11462 shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.
11464 "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
11465 without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
11466 HTTP/1.1 or SSL support. As such they would have had to implement
11467 the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
11468 to work properly in certain situations. Now, the only difference
11469 between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
11470 [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]
11472 *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
11473 bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
11474 switch. [Dean Gaudet]
11476 Changes with Apache 1.3a1
11478 *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
11479 if a specified library exists. [Jim Jagielski]
11481 *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
11482 [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes aw.sgi.com>]
11485 *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
11486 functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
11487 NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
11489 *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
11490 and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
11491 mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
11493 *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
11494 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>]
11496 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
11497 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
11498 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
11499 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
11501 *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
11502 match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new

11508 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is

11519 *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
11520 the output of mod_info. ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
11522 *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
11523 addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
11524 names to be qualified by redirection.
11525 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>]
11527 *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
11528 header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
11531 *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
11532 3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
11533 URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
11534 redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
11535 braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
11536 no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
11537 mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
11538 an empty query string via "xxx?".
11539 This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
11540 i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
11541 exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
11542 the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
11543 no longer maintains an external version.
11544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11546 *) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
11547 once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
11548 See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
11550 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
11551 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
11553 *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
11554 processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
11557 *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
11558 string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
11560 *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
11561 settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
11562 src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
11564 *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
11565 directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
11566 if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
11567 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
11569 *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
11570 LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
11571 compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
11572 [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
11574 *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
11575 This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
11576 from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
11577 trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
11578 you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
11579 indexing then you'll want to add:
11581 Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
11583 before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
11585 *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
11586 [Dean Gaudet] PR#525
11588 *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
11589 giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
11590 and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
11593 *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
11594 ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
11596 *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
11597 of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)
11598 command. [Ian Kluft <ikluft cisco.com>]
11600 *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
11601 request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
11603 *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
11604 main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
11606 *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
11607 nmake -f Makefile.nt
11608 Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
11610 *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
11611 potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
11613 *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
11614 for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
11615 enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
11617 *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
11618 avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
11619 and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
11620 The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
11621 work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
11624 *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
11625 to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
11626 [Dean Gaudet] PR#372
11628 *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
11629 module list. [Dean Gaudet]
11631 *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
11632 unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
11633 particularly important for high volume sites with a large
11634 HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
11635 and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
11636 httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
11638 *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
11639 busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
11641 *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
11642 (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
11645 *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
11646 the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
11647 compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
11648 would without sfio compiled in.
11651 *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
11652 usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
11653 selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
11656 *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
11657 will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not
11658 work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr netmatic.com>] PR#444
11660 *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
11661 passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.
11664 *) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
11665 request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
11666 how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]
11668 *) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
11669 so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]
11671 *) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
11674 *) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
11675 aggressively try to kill off specific children. For fastcgi.
11676 [Stanley Gambarin <gambarin OpenMarket.com>]
11678 *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
11680 *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
11681 When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
11682 attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]
11684 *) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added. [Jim Jagielski]

11689 Changes with Apache 1.2.6

11742 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
11743 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
11744 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
11746 *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
11749 *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
11750 the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
11751 mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
11753 *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
11754 some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]

11762 Changes with Apache 1.2.5
11764 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
11765 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
11766 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]

11782 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
11784 *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
11785 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
11786 was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
11787 is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
11788 Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
11789 should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
11790 from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
11791 between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
11793 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
11794 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
11795 was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the previous note
11796 about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
11798 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
11799 permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
11800 The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
11801 be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
11802 htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
11804 *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
11805 Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial
11806 of service attack against the Apache server. Thanks to
11807 Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf boss.staszic.waw.pl> for reporting
11808 this. [Dean Gaudet]
11810 *) mod_include used uninitialized data for some uses of && and ||.
11811 [Brian Slesinsky <bslesins wired.com>] PR#1139
11813 *) mod_imap should decline all non-GET methods.
11814 [Jay Bloodworth <jay pathways.sde.state.sc.us>]
11816 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
11818 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
11819 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
11820 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]
11822 *) mod_include did not properly handle all possible redirects from sub-
11823 requests. [Ken Coar]

11832 Changes with Apache 1.2.4
11834 *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
11835 always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.

11838 *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
11839 on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
11841 Changes with Apache 1.2.3
11843 *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
11844 result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
11845 supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
11846 PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]
11848 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
11849 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
11851 *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
11852 do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
11854 *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
11856 Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
11858 *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
11859 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
11860 paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
11863 *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
11864 USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
11867 *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
11868 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
11870 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
11871 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
11872 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
11874 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
11875 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
11878 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
11879 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
11881 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
11882 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
11885 *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
11886 mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
11887 o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
11888 minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
11890 - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
11891 - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string
11892 - fixed forced response code on redirects (PR#777)
11893 - fixed cases where r->args is ""
11894 - kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
11895 - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
11896 - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
11897 o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
11898 o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
11899 find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
11900 o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
11901 o fixed a few comment typos

11905 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
11907 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
11908 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
11909 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
11910 Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
11911 a deficiency in the header_parse phase.

11921 *) The proxy didn't treat the "Host:" keyword of the host header as case-
11922 insensitive. The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
11923 an HTTP/0.9 server. [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814

11928 *) PORT: The slack fd changes in 1.2.1 introduced a problem with SIGHUP
11929 under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
11930 [Dean Gaudet] PR#832
11932 *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
11933 is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
11934 of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
11935 handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
11936 what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
11937 next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
11938 has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378
11940 *) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
11941 release version number, such that it always increases along the
11942 same lines as our source code branching. [Roy Fielding]
11944 *) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed. [Paul Sutton] PR#94
11946 Changes with Apache 1.2.1
11948 *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
11949 symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
11950 or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of

11954 could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
11955 the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
11957 *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
11958 (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
11959 mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
11961 *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
11962 BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
11964 *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
11965 if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
11966 to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
11967 options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
11969 *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
11970 lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
11971 [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
11974 *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
11975 body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
11976 not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
11978 *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
11979 makes. [Marc Slemko]
11981 *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.
11982 [Dean Gaudet] PR#644
11984 *) mod_include was not properly changing the current directory.
11985 [Marc Slemko] PR#742
11987 *) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
11988 handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
11989 solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
11990 descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
11991 can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
11992 which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
11993 this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
11994 log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
11995 you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
11996 [Dean Gaudet] various PRs
11998 *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
11999 log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
12000 problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
12001 directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
12002 work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]
12004 *) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
12007 *) Improved unix error response logging. [Marc Slemko]
12009 *) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6. New ruleflag
12010 QSA=query_string_append. Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
12011 when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special

12053 *) Added undocumented perl SSI mechanism for -DUSE_PERL_SSI and mod_perl.
12054 [Doug MacEachern, Rob Hartill]
12056 *) Proxy needs to use hard_timeout instead of soft_timeout when it is
12057 reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
12058 a custom timeout handler. [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]
12060 *) Fixed problem on IRIX with servers hanging in IdentityCheck,
12061 apparently due to a mismatch between sigaction and setjmp.
12062 [Roy Fielding] PR#502
12064 *) Log correct status code if we timeout before receiving a request (408)
12065 or if we received a request-line that was too long to process (414).

12068 *) Virtual hosts with the same ServerName, but on different ports, were
12069 not being selected properly. [Ed Korthof]
12071 *) Added code to return the requested IP address from proxy_host2addr()
12072 if gethostbyaddr() fails due to reverse DNS lookup problems. Original
12073 change submitted by Jozsef Hollosi <hollosi sbcm.com>.
12074 [Chuck Murcko] PR#614
12076 *) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
12077 data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
12078 scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
12079 causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.

12082 *) The OS/2 handling of process group was broken by a porting patch for
12083 MPE, so restored prior code for OS/2. [Roy Fielding and Garey Smiley]

12089 has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
12090 negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
12091 [Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]
12093 *) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
12094 loop would try to read another request even though the connection

12098 Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
12099 CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
12100 flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]
12102 *) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
12103 original request-line. [Roy Fielding]
12105 *) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
12106 we don't want the error message to include those fields. Likewise,
12107 reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
12108 before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
12109 message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]
12111 *) Restored the semantics of headers_out (headers sent only with 200..299
12112 and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
12113 Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
12114 (the usual case). [Roy Fielding]
12116 *) Fixed a couple places where a check for the default Content-Type was
12117 not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
12118 directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h. Changed the value
12119 of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).

12125 *) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
12126 around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
12129 *) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
12130 (and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
12131 the CGI script filename. The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
12132 been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
12133 script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
12134 This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
12135 in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
12138 *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
12139 that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
12140 But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
12141 forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
12142 to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
12143 updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
12145 *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
12146 generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
12147 body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
12148 message body again. [Rob Hartill]

12169 Changes with Apache 1.2b9 [never announced]
12171 *) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
12172 changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
12174 *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
12175 the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop). Apache will now stop
12176 trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.

12179 *) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
12180 than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;
12181 rearranged other modules to enhance understanding of their purpose
12182 and relative order (and maybe even reduce some overhead).
12183 [Roy Fielding and Sameer Parekh]
12185 *) Fix graceful restart. Eliminate many signal-related race
12186 conditions in both forms of restart, and in SIGTERM. See
12187 htdocs/manual/stopping.html for details on stopping and
12188 restarting the parent. [Dean Gaudet]
12190 *) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include. Tune
12191 memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to

12222 *) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
12223 buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
12224 then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373
12226 *) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
12227 parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
12228 at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
12229 image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
12230 read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
12231 so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
12232 padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232

12235 of an external redirection. [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]

12254 <Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12256 *) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
12257 1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
12258 USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and

12289 *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
12290 to it. [Marc Slemko]
12292 *) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
12293 sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
12294 the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
12296 *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
12297 signal is received. [Ken Coar]
12299 *) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
12300 spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
12301 are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
12302 about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
12303 now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
12305 *) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
12306 log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
12308 *) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
12310 *) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
12311 processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
12312 of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
12313 in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
12315 *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
12316 (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
12317 full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
12318 as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
12320 *) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
12322 *) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
12324 *) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
12326 *) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
12327 spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
12328 event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
12329 before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
12331 *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
12332 never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
12333 We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
12334 didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
12335 transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
12337 *) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
12338 Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
12339 the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
12340 We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
12341 ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
12342 while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
12344 *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
12345 to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
12347 *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
12348 connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
12349 of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
12350 improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
12351 be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
12352 is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
12353 responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
12354 accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
12356 *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
12357 and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
12358 resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
12359 requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
12360 continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
12361 send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
12362 around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
12363 propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
12365 *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
12368 *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
12369 name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
12370 info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
12373 *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
12374 new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
12376 *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
12377 name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
12379 *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
12380 initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
12382 *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
12383 file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
12385 *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
12387 *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
12388 to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
12390 *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
12391 fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
12393 *) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
12395 *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
12396 Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
12397 no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
12398 [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
12400 *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
12401 mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
12403 *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
12404 charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
12405 listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
12407 *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
12408 when nalloc==0. [Kai Risku <krisku tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]
12410 *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
12411 [Petr Lampa] PR#160
12413 *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
12416 *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
12417 due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
12419 *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
12420 since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
12422 *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
12423 not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
12424 [Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
12426 *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
12427 in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
12429 *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
12430 [Garey Smiley] PR #59
12432 *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
12433 path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
12435 *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
12436 and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
12437 other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
12438 with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
12440 *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
12441 AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
12442 redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
12443 RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
12444 special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
12445 can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
12446 time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12448 *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
12449 Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
12450 place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
12451 with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
12452 in use. [Ben Laurie]
12454 *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
12455 initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
12456 comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
12458 *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
12459 caused a SEGV on some systems.
12461 *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
12464 *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
12466 *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
12467 introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
12468 [Dean Gaudet] PR #212
12470 Changes with Apache 1.2b7
12472 *) Port to UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]
12474 *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
12476 *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
12477 - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
12478 - save variant-list into main request notes
12479 - free allocated memory from subrequests
12480 - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
12482 *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
12483 "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
12486 *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
12487 - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
12488 - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
12489 - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
12490 - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
12491 specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
12492 on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
12493 perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
12494 - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
12497 *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
12498 after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
12501 *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
12502 character if the next character is one that needs
12503 escaping. [Ben Laurie]
12505 *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
12506 used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
12507 [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno tc.hsa.nl>]
12509 *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
12510 one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
12512 *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
12513 print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
12515 *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
12516 [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
12518 *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
12519 read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
12521 *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
12522 read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
12523 the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
12525 *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
12526 select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
12527 checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
12528 account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
12529 prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
12530 socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
12531 EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
12532 improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
12534 *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
12535 auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
12536 and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
12538 *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
12539 server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
12541 *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
12542 - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
12543 - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
12544 - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
12545 - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
12547 *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
12550 *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
12551 since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
12552 [Harald T. Alvestrand]
12554 *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
12555 [Ben Laurie, reported by <geddis tesserae.com>]
12557 *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
12558 http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
12559 [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]
12561 *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
12562 as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
12563 [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
12565 *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
12566 due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
12567 it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
12569 *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
12570 sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
12571 SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
12572 [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
12574 *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
12575 causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
12576 wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
12578 *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
12579 the clean environment on some systems.
12581 *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
12582 bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
12583 Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
12586 *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]
12588 *) Port to HP MPE operating system for HP 3000 machines
12589 [Mark Bixby <markb cccd.edu>]
12591 *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
12592 given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
12594 *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
12596 *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
12597 until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
12598 This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
12599 an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
12600 performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
12601 many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
12602 must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
12603 or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
12605 *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
12607 *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
12608 fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
12610 *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
12611 for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
12613 *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
12614 and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
12617 *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
12619 *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
12621 Changes with Apache 1.2b6
12623 *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]
12625 *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
12626 accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
12627 1.2b5 was never a public beta.
12629 Changes with Apache 1.2b5
12631 *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
12632 MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
12634 *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
12635 regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
12638 *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
12639 Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
12641 *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
12642 scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
12643 defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
12645 *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
12648 *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
12649 overflows. [Marc Slemko]
12651 *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
12652 as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
12654 *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
12657 *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
12658 to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
12659 continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
12661 *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
12662 than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
12664 *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
12667 *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
12668 CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
12670 *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
12673 *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
12674 when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
12677 *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
12678 recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
12679 be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
12681 - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
12682 directory and below.
12683 - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
12684 - restrict passed environment to known variables
12685 - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
12686 - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
12688 *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
12690 *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
12692 *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
12694 *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
12696 *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
12697 MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
12698 problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
12700 *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
12701 AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
12703 *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
12704 It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
12706 *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
12709 *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
12710 caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
12711 handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
12712 Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
12714 *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
12716 *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
12718 *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
12720 *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
12721 server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
12723 *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
12724 found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
12726 *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
12727 double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
12728 status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
12730 *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
12731 interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
12732 that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
12733 we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
12734 prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
12735 reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
12737 *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
12738 [<mgyger itr.ch>, Adrian Filipi-Martin]
12740 *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
12741 select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
12742 [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from <adrian virginia.edu>]
12744 *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
12745 continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
12746 would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
12747 count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
12748 are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
12750 *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
12751 Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
12752 Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
12754 *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
12756 Changes with Apache 1.2b4
12758 *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
12759 could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
12760 overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
12763 *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
12765 *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
12766 defined for some systems.
12768 *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
12771 *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
12772 style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
12774 *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
12775 execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
12777 *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
12779 *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
12781 Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
12783 *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
12784 freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
12786 *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
12788 *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
12791 *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
12793 *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
12794 ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
12796 *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
12797 currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
12798 control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
12799 those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
12800 allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
12803 *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
12804 the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
12806 *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
12808 *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
12809 1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
12810 2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
12811 3. CGI command lines paramters problems
12812 4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
12813 [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
12815 *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
12816 a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
12817 argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
12819 *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
12820 handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
12822 *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
12824 *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
12825 r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
12828 *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
12829 Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
12831 *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
12832 using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
12834 *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
12835 by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
12839 *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
12840 PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
12841 Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
12842 [later removed in 1.2b11]
12844 *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
12845 arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
12847 *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
12849 *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
12850 NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
12852 *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
12853 redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
12854 in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
12856 Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
12858 *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
12859 This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
12860 bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
12862 *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
12864 *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
12866 *) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
12867 1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
12868 2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
12869 host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
12870 and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
12871 3) Adds Host: header when not available
12872 4) Some code cleanup and clarification
12874 *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
12875 1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
12876 be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
12877 2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
12878 3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [<perrot lal.in2p3.fr>]
12879 4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
12880 [Ben Yoshino <ben wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
12881 5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
12884 *) Fix infinite loop when processing Content-language lines in
12885 type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]
12887 *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]
12889 *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
12890 for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]
12892 *) Added PORTING information file. [Jim Jagielski]
12894 *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]
12896 *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]
12898 *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
12899 USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.
12901 *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
12902 which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.
12904 *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
12905 http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]
12907 *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
12908 and portable isdigit() test. [Ben Laurie]
12910 *) Updated Configure for ...
12911 OS/2 (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
12912 *-dg-dgux* (bad pattern match)
12913 QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
12914 *-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
12916 *-unixware211 (new)
12917 and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
12919 *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
12920 for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
12922 *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
12923 SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
12924 SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
12925 SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
12926 IRIX64 (-sgi-irix64)
12927 ULTRIX (-unknown-ultrix)
12928 SINIX (-whatever-sysv4)
12929 NCR Unix (-ncr-sysv4)
12930 and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath [Ben Laurie]
12932 Changes with Apache 1.2b1
12934 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>
12936 Changes with Apache 1.1.1
12938 *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
12939 logfile for each access [Mark Cox]
12941 *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
12942 leak. [Nathan Neulinger]
12944 *) MultiViews now works correctly with AddHandler [Alexei Kosut]
12946 *) Problems with mod_auth_msql fixed [Dirk vanGulik]
12948 *) Fix misspelling of "Anonymous_Authorative" directive in mod_auth_anon.
12950 Changes with Apache 1.1.0
12952 *) Bring NeXT support up to date. [Takaaki Matsumoto]
12954 *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]
12956 *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
12957 [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]
12959 *) Allow ScanHTMLTitles to work with lowercase <title> tags. [Alexei Kosut]
12961 *) Fix missing address family for connect, also remove unreachable statement
12962 in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]
12964 *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.
12966 *) Bugs which were fixed:
12967 a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
12968 b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
12969 c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [<osm interguide.com>]
12970 d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [<jk tools.de>]
12972 Changes with Apache 1.1b4
12974 *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
12976 *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
12978 *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
12980 *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
12982 *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
12985 *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]
12987 *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.
12989 *) Actions now work with files of the default type.
12991 *) Bugs which were fixed:
12992 a) more mod_proxy bugs
12993 b) early termination of inetd requests
12994 c) compile warnings on several systems
12995 d) problems when scripts stop reading output early
12997 Changes with Apache 1.1b3
12999 *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
13000 various security holes found and that we could no longer support
13003 *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
13004 instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
13005 Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
13007 *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
13010 *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
13011 (No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
13013 *) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
13014 functions now available to modules.
13016 *) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
13019 *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
13020 special URL, a la mod_status.
13022 *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
13023 for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.
13025 *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.
13027 *) MSQL authentication module improvements.
13029 *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]
13031 *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication
13034 *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
13035 less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
13036 value. [Alexei Kosut]
13038 *) Bugs which were fixed:
13039 a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
13040 b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
13041 c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
13042 d) RefererIgnore problems
13043 e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
13044 Linux and elsewhere).
13046 Changes with Apache 1.1b2
13049 a) core dumps in mod_digest
13050 b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
13051 c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files
13053 Changes with Apache 1.1b1
13055 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>
13057 Changes with Apache 1.0.3
13059 *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
13060 query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
13063 *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
13064 directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
13067 *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
13069 *) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
13072 *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
13074 *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
13075 This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
13076 send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
13079 *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
13080 lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
13082 *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
13083 now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
13084 which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
13086 *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
13088 *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
13089 which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
13091 *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
13094 *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
13095 particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
13097 *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
13099 Changes with Apache 1.0.2
13101 *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
13102 a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
13104 *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
13107 *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
13108 setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
13109 broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
13110 for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
13112 *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
13115 *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
13117 *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
13118 one. [David Robinson]
13120 *) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
13122 Changes with Apache 1.0.1
13124 *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
13127 *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
13128 and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
13129 relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
13131 *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
13132 had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
13133 initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
13136 *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
13137 out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
13138 The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
13139 be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
13140 system failure. [Ben Laurie]
13142 *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
13144 Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
13146 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
13148 Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
13150 *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
13152 *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
13153 given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
13154 back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
13156 *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
13157 generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
13158 accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
13159 a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
13161 *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
13162 extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
13164 *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
13165 "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
13166 that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
13168 *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
13170 *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
13172 *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
13173 to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
13176 *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
13177 parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
13179 *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
13182 *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
13184 *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
13185 in redirects [David Robinson]
13187 Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
13189 *) Switched to new, simpler license
13191 *) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
13193 *) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
13195 *) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
13197 *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
13200 *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
13202 *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
13203 so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
13206 *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
13209 *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
13211 *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
13214 *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
13215 entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
13217 *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
13220 *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
13221 containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
13223 *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
13225 *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
13227 *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
13229 *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
13231 *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
13233 *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
13235 *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
13237 *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
13239 *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
13242 Changes with Apache 0.8.14 19 Sep 1995
13244 *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]
13246 *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]
13248 *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
13249 privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]
13251 *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
13252 that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
13255 *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
13256 is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]
13258 *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]
13260 Changes with Apache 0.8.13 07 Sep 1995
13262 *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]
13264 *) Have built-in imagemap code recognize & honor Point directive [James
13267 *) Generate cleaner directory listings in directories with a mix of
13268 long and short filenames [Rob Hartill]
13270 *) Properly initialize dynamically loaded modules [Royston Shufflebotham]
13272 *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]
13274 *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
13275 Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]
13277 *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
13278 allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
13279 if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]
13281 *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
13282 on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]
13284 *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
13287 *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]
13289 *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
13290 [Tobias Weingartner]
13292 Changes with Apache 0.8.12 31 Aug 1995
13294 *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
13295 too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
13296 subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
13297 after the entire document has been processed). [Robert Thau]
13299 *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off. (Ooops). [David Robinson]
13301 *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]
13303 *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
13304 same directory [David Robinson]
13306 *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
13307 causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
13308 *particular* index.html file) to fail. [David Robinson]
13310 *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
13311 authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
13312 client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
13313 needed here yet). [Robert Thau]
13315 *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]
13317 *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]
13319 *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
13320 requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
13321 do RFC931. [David Robinson]
13323 *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
13326 *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]
13328 *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]
13330 Changes with Apache 0.8.11 24 Aug 1995
13332 *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work. [Robert Thau]
13334 *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
13336 *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
13337 the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
13338 up to it. [Robert Thau]
13340 *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
13341 in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]
13343 *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
13344 "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
13346 *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
13347 other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
13349 *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
13350 [Florent Guillaume]
13352 *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
13353 --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
13354 (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
13355 icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
13358 *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
13361 *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
13364 *) Fixed English in the license language... "for for" --> "for".
13367 *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
13368 mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
13369 adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
13370 to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
13371 ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
13372 NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
13375 Changes with Apache 0.8.10 18 Aug 1995
13377 *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
13378 subdirectories. [David Robinson]
13380 *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
13381 using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
13382 not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
13383 if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
13384 lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris. [David Robinson;
13385 thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].
13387 Changes with Apache 0.8.9 12 Aug 1995
13389 *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]
13391 *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
13392 for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
13393 which try to print out the last-modified date). [Eric Hagberg/Robert
13396 *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
13397 URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
13398 else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility. (Note that
13399 this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
13400 code just by asking for it). [Robert Thau]
13402 *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
13405 *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
13406 then going insane [David Robinson]
13408 *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
13410 *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]
13412 *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
13413 workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
13414 if you still want the workaround). [Rob Hartill]
13416 *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
13417 content negotiation. (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
13418 for the new HTTP draft). [Florent Guillaume]
13420 *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]
13422 *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]
13424 *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
13427 *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
13428 paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]
13430 *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
13433 *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
13434 it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
13435 workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
13436 alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
13437 [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]
13439 *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]
13441 *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include. [Brian
13442 Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]
13444 *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
13446 *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]
13448 *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]
13450 Changes with Apache 0.8.8 08 Aug 1995
13452 *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
13453 requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
13454 people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
13457 (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
13458 SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
13459 -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES. Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
13460 with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
13463 *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
13464 to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.
13466 Changes with Apache 0.8.7 03 Aug 1995
13468 *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
13469 [reported by David Robinson]
13471 *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]
13473 *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
13474 experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
13477 Changes with Apache 0.8.6 02 Aug 1995
13479 *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
13480 (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
13481 couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]
13483 *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
13484 GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
13485 [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]
13487 *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala". [Reported by Chuck Murcko]
13489 *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
13490 not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
13491 and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable). On
13492 all other systems, these are never used anyway. [Reported by Mark Cox].
13494 *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.
13496 Changes with Apache 0.8.5 01 Aug 1995
13498 *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module
13500 *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
13501 properly. (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).
13503 *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
13504 It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
13505 If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
13506 comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
13507 spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).
13509 *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.
13511 *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX. A/UX is *weird*. [Eric Hagberg,
13514 *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].
13516 *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script. [Alexei Kosut]
13518 *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
13519 *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
13520 fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]
13522 *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
13523 legal disclaimer (everyplace).
13525 *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
13526 of everywhere else.
13528 Changes with Apache 0.8.4
13530 *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
13531 StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
13532 parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
13533 MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
13534 back-compatibility). The old names were generally regarded as
13535 too confusing. Also altered "docs" in sample config files.
13537 *) More improvements to default config files ---
13538 sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
13539 CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
13540 defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
13541 improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]
13543 *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
13544 Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
13545 [ Florent Guillaume ]
13547 *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
13550 *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
13551 do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
13554 *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]
13556 Changes with Apache 0.8.3
13558 *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
13559 procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
13562 *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
13563 recent NCSA distributions.
13565 *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
13566 exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault. [Reported
13569 *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]
13571 *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.
13573 *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
13574 preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
13575 reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]
13577 *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
13578 dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]
13580 *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
13581 instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
13582 deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address). Would be
13583 nice to have examples of new features...
13585 Changes with Apache 0.8.2 19 Jul 1995
13587 *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]
13589 *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found. [Mark Cox]
13591 *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory. It would
13592 be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
13593 just punt. [reported by Brian Behlendorf]
13595 *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
13596 is gone and we can reopen it. [reported by Randy Terbush]
13598 *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration
13600 *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
13603 *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
13604 module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
13605 an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]
13607 *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]
13609 *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]
13611 *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]
13613 *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
13616 Changes with Apache 0.8.1
13618 *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
13620 *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
13621 [Matthew Gray again]
13623 *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
13624 [Florent Guillaume]
13626 Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2) 16 Jul 1995
13628 *) New config script. See INSTALL for info. [Robert Thau]
13630 *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
13631 processes. MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
13632 for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different. (Actually,
13633 I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).
13635 Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
13636 the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
13637 connection. If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
13638 off. Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
13639 looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
13640 if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one. This
13641 does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
13642 The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
13643 /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
13644 descriptor (they need to seek without interference).
13646 The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
13647 servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
13648 off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
13649 these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
13650 reverting to the overhead of full forking operation. There is a
13651 hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
13652 avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
13653 (This is arguably too high).
13655 In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
13656 impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
13657 scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
13658 overhead than tmpfs). [Robert Thau]
13660 *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
13663 *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
13664 (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
13667 *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
13668 than trying to send no body *and* no headers. [Cliff Skolnick].
13670 *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
13671 mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
13672 handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
13673 but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
13676 *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
13677 it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
13678 up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]
13680 *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
13681 sa_client around; just declare it where used. [Robert Thau]
13683 *) Another acc-related fix. (It doesn't like const char
13684 in some places...). [Mark Cox]
13686 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1 13 Jul 1995
13688 *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
13689 Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.
13691 *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]
13693 *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
13694 over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
13695 believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
13696 a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*. Even *my*
13697 compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
13698 required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.
13700 *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
13701 servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
13702 [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].
13704 *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
13705 finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]
13707 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0 10 Jul 1995
13709 *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft. soft_timeout()s just put
13710 the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
13711 allow whatever handlers are running to clean up. hard_timeout()s
13712 abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
13713 resource pool cleanup will leak. They're still around because I
13714 haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
13715 timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client. The
13716 default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
13717 so I can test the feature. [Robert Thau]
13719 *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there. Note that
13720 the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
13721 gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
13722 the server will hang. (It is known to correctly restart the
13723 logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
13724 the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
13725 script). [Robert Thau]
13727 *) asis files supported (new module). [Robert Thau]
13729 *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested. (I
13730 don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]
13732 *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
13733 came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]
13735 *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]
13737 *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
13738 as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]
13740 *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
13741 the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]
13743 *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
13744 How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]
13746 *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
13747 default default type); the former default default behavior when all
13748 type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump. [Paul Sutton]
13750 *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
13751 directories. (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
13752 memory area every time). Fix is in mod_dir.c. [Paul Sutton]
13754 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]
13756 *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
13757 if the file was not found. [Cliff Skolnick].
13759 *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
13760 code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
13761 handler). [Cliff Skolnick]
13763 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2 06 Jul 1995
13765 *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
13766 games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
13767 children. Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
13768 the whole process group with them. Potential problem --- if any
13769 child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
13770 MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
13771 better than it did before this! [Robert Thau]
13773 *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
13774 work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
13775 properly terminated. [Mark Cox]
13777 *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
13778 should [Paul Sutton].
13780 *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
13781 Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]
13783 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1 04 Jul 1995
13785 *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
13786 registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
13787 tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
13788 terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
13791 *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
13792 which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
13793 registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
13794 child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->. CGI children now get
13795 started with exactly three file descriptors open. Hopefully,
13796 this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
13797 CGI connections. [Robert Thau]
13799 *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
13800 required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
13801 by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
13802 This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
13803 flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
13804 flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.
13806 This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
13807 process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
13808 on the other systems. [Robert Thau]
13810 *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]
13812 *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]
13814 *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]
13816 *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
13817 be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
13820 *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
13821 string) even if none came in with the request. [Robert Thau]
13823 *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).
13825 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5
13827 *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
13828 *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
13829 invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
13830 *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and
13831 configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
13832 "patchy server" releases) [rst]
13834 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4 30 Jun 1995
13836 *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
13837 *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]
13839 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3
13841 *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
13842 synonymous [rst, terbush]
13844 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1 28 Jun 1995
13846 *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
13847 reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
13848 *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
13849 allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
13850 be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
13851 find). Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools. [rst]
13852 *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
13853 *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
13854 *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]
13856 Changes with Shambhala 0.3 19 Jun 1995
13858 *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
13859 *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
13860 *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
13861 *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
13864 Changes with Shambhala 0.2
13866 *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
13867 *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
13868 *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures
13870 *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
13871 functions together [rst]
13872 *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
13874 *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]
13876 Changes with Shambhala 0.1 12 Jun 1995
13878 Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
13879 Robert Thau (rst). Significant portions of the server code, such
13880 as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
13881 were ripped out and rewritten from scratch. Code that was not
13882 completely rewritten was significantly altered.
13884 Major changes with this release include:
13886 *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central
13887 machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
13888 most of the work. Configuration handling is similar --- modules
13889 declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
13890 dispatches to them.
13892 API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
13893 Apache 1.0 and 1.1. (1.0 API features not yet present in this
13894 release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
13895 subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
13898 *) This release included the following modules:
13900 mod_access (access control --- allow and deny directives),
13901 mod_alias (Alias and Redirect commands),
13902 mod_auth (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
13903 mod_auth_dbm (same, with dbm files)
13904 mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
13905 mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
13906 mod_dir (directory indexing)
13907 mod_include (server-side includes)
13908 mod_mime (AddType directives)
13909 mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
13910 mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
13912 It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
13913 for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
13915 All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
13916 or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
13917 Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
13919 *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
13920 modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
13921 serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
13922 and mod_negotiation).
13924 *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
13925 files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
13926 code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
13927 replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
13928 the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
13929 allocated with palloc().
13931 *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
13932 request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
13933 unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
13934 attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
13935 --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
13936 setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
13938 *) Source files renamed and rearranged
13940 *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
13941 fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
13943 *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
13945 This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
13946 Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
13947 codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
13949 Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
13951 *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
13952 were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
13953 worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
13954 Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
13956 Changes with Apache 0.6.4 13 May 1995
13958 *) Patches by Rob Hartill, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert Thau,
13961 Changes with Apache 0.5.1 10 Apr 1995
13963 Changes with Apache 0.4 02 Apr 1995
13965 *) Patches by Brian Behlendorf, Andrew Wilson, Robert Thau,
13968 Changes with Apache 0.3 24 Mar 1995
13970 *) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
13973 Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
13975 *) Based on NCSA httpd 1.3 by Rob McCool and patches by CERT,
13976 Roy Fielding, Robert Thau, Nicolas Pioch, David Robinson,
13977 Brian Behlendorf, Rob Hartill, and Cliff Skolnick.
