2 Changes with Apache 2.3.0
3 [Remove entries to the current 2.0 and 2.2 section below, when backported]
5 *) mod_ssl: initialize thread locks before initializing the hardware
6 acceleration library, so the latter can make use of the former.
7 PR 20951. [adunn at ncipher.com, reviewed by Sander Temme]
9 *) mod_so: Solve dev's confusion by reporting expected/seen module
10 magic signatures when failing with a 'garbled' message, and solve
11 user's confusion by pointing out 'perhaps compiled for a different
12 version of apache?'. [William Rowe]
14 *) mod_ssl: Version reporting update; displays 'compiled against'
15 Apache and build-time SSL Library versions at loglevel [info],
16 while reporting the run-time SSL Library version in the server
17 info tags. Helps to identify a mod_ssl built against one flavor
18 of OpenSSL but running against another (also adds SSL-C version
19 number reporting.) [William Rowe]
21 *) core: Change etag generation to produce identical results on
22 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. PR 40064. [Joe Orton]
24 *) ab: Add -r option to continue after socket receive errors.
25 [Filip Hanik <devlist hanik.com>]
27 *) mod_ldap: Fix the search limit parameter to ldap_search_ext_s()
28 for SDKs that define LDAP_NO_LIMIT to something other than -1.
29 [David Jones <oscaremma gmail.com>]
31 *) mod_cache: Use the same cache key throughout the whole request processing
32 to handle escaped URLs correctly. PR 41475. [Ruediger Pluem]
34 *) mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreQueryString directive. PR 41484.
35 [Fredrik Widlund <fredrik.widlund qbrick.com>]
37 *) mod_dbd: Introduce configuration groups to allow inheritance by virtual
38 hosts of database configurations from the main server. Determine the
39 minimal set of distinct configurations and share connection pools
40 whenever possible. Allow virtual hosts to override inherited SQL
41 statements. PR 41302. [Chris Darroch]
43 *) core: Fix broken chunk filtering that causes all non blocking reads to be
44 converted into blocking reads. PR 41056. [Jean-Frederic Clere, Jim Jagielski]
46 *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values
47 when invoked without variable name(s).
48 [William Rowe, Sander Temme]
50 *) mod_dbd: Create memory sub-pools for each DB connection and close
51 DB connections in a pool cleanup function. Ensure prepared statements
52 are destroyed before DB connection is closed. When using reslists,
53 prevent segfaults when child processes exit, and stop memory leakage
54 of ap_dbd_t structures. Avoid use of global s->process->pool, which
55 isn't destroyed by exiting child processes in most multi-process MPMs.
56 PR 39985. [Chris Darroch, Nick Kew]
58 *) apxs: Eliminate run-time check for mod_so. PR 40653.
59 [David M. Lee <dmlee crossroads.com>]
61 *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
62 entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
65 *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
66 cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
69 *) mod_dbd: Handle error conditions in dbd_construct() properly.
70 Simplify ap_dbd_open() and use correct arguments to apr_dbd_error()
71 when non-threaded. Register correct cleanup data in non-threaded
72 ap_dbd_acquire() and ap_dbd_cacquire(). Clean up configuration data
73 and merge function. Use ap_log_error() wherever possible.
74 [Chris Darroch, Nick Kew]
76 *) mod_proxy_http: Handle request bodies larger than 2 GB by converting
77 the Content-Length header of the request correctly. PR 40883.
78 [Ruediger Pluem, toadie <toadie643 gmail.com>]
80 *) core: Do not replace a Date header set by a proxied backend server.
81 PR 40232. [Ruediger Pluem]
83 *) mod_proxy: Ensure that at least scheme://hostname[:port] matches between
84 worker and URL when searching for the best fitting worker for a given URL.
85 PR 40910. [Ruediger Pluem]
87 *) mod_cache: Remove expired content from cache that cannot be revalidated.
88 PR 30370. [Ruediger Pluem]
90 *) mod_dbd: Stash DBD connections in request_config of initial request
91 only, or else sub-requests and internal redirections may cause
92 entire DBD pool to be stashed in a single HTTP request. [Chris Darroch]
94 *) mod_cache: Correctly cache objects whose URL query string has been
95 modified by mod_rewrite. PR 40805. [Ruediger Pluem]
97 *) mod_proxy: Add a missing assignment in an error checking code path.
98 PR 40865. [Andrew Rucker Jones <arjones simultan.dyndns.org>]
100 *) mod_mem_cache: Increase the minimum and default value for
101 MCacheMinObjectSize from 0 to 1, as a MCacheMinObjectSize of 0 does not
102 make sense and leads to a division by zero. PR 40576.
103 [Xuekun Hu <xuekun.hu gmail.com>]
105 *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
106 on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
108 *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
109 the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
110 AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
111 location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
113 *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
114 into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
115 mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
117 *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
118 value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
119 may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
120 weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
122 *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
124 *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
125 the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
126 bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
127 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
129 *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
131 *) mod_proxy: Print the correct error message for erroneous configured
132 ProxyPass directives. PR 40439. [serai lans-tv.com]
134 *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
135 now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
138 *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
139 open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
140 directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
141 to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
142 and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
143 appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
145 *) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component
146 [Stijn Hoop <stijn sandcat.nl>]
148 *) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.
149 The return value is index to the signaled thread in the
150 creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because
151 his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
152 to that value. [Mladen Turk]
154 *) mod_cache: While serving a cached entity ensure that filters that have
155 been applied to this cached entity before saving it to the cache are not
156 applied again. PR 40090. [Ruediger Pluem]
158 *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
159 to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
160 SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
162 *) mod_proxy: Support environment variable interpolation in reverse
163 proxying directives. [Nick Kew]
165 *) core: Add the filename of the configuration file to the warning message
166 about the useless use of AllowOverride. PR 39992.
167 [Darryl Miles <darryl darrylmiles.org>]
169 *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
170 configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
171 The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than
172 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
174 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
175 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
176 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
178 *) mod_cache: Convert all values to seconds before comparing them when
179 checking whether to send a Warning header for a stale response.
180 PR 39713. [Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat.com>]
182 *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
183 final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
185 *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
186 performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]
188 *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
189 [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]
191 *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
192 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
193 definitions relating to old life_status field.
194 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
196 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
197 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
199 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
200 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
202 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
203 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
205 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
206 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
209 *) mod_ssl: Fix spurious hostname mismatch warning for valid
210 wildcard certificates. PR 37911. [Nick Burch <nick torchbox.com>]
212 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
213 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
214 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
215 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
217 *) Authz: Mark the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy' as
218 deprecated and move them into the new module mod_access_compat which
219 can be loaded to provide backwards compatibility for these directives.
222 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
223 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
224 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
225 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
227 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
228 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
229 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
231 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
232 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
234 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
235 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
236 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
238 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
239 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
241 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
242 seconds to cache a document.
243 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
245 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
247 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
248 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
250 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
252 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
253 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
254 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
255 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
256 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
258 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
259 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
261 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
263 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
266 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
269 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
270 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
271 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
272 [Martin Kraemer, David Reid]
274 Changes with Apache 2.2.5
276 *) mod_proxy: Fix some proxy setting inheritance problems (eg:
277 ProxyTimeout). PR 11540. [Stuart Children <stuart terminus.co.uk>]
279 *) Unix MPMs: Catch SIGFPE so that exception hooks and CoreDumpDirectory
280 can work after that terminating signal.
281 [Eric Covener <covener gmail.com>]
283 *) Win32: Makefile.win will now build with MS VC 8 (Visual Studio 2005)
284 including embedding the .manifest information into each binary.
287 Changes with Apache 2.2.4
289 *) mod_isapi: Correctly present SERVER_PORT_SECURE.
290 PR: 40573. [Matt Eaton <asf divinehawk.com>]
292 *) Allow htcacheclean, httxt2dbm, and fcgistarter to link apr/apr-util
293 statically like the older support programs.
294 [Eric Covener <covener gmail.com>]
296 *) core: Fix NONBLOCK status of listening sockets on restart/graceful
297 PR 37680. [Darius Davis <darius-abz free-range.com.au>]
299 *) mod_deflate: Rework inflate output and deflate output filter to fix several
300 issues: Incorrect handling of flush buckets, potential memory leaks,
301 excessive memory usage in inflate output filter for large compressed
302 content. PR 39854. [Ruediger Pluem, Nick Kew, Justin Erenkrantz]
304 *) mod_mem_cache: Memory leak fix: Unconditionally free the buffer.
305 [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
307 *) Allow mod_dumpio to log at other than DEBUG levels via
308 the new DumpIOLogLevel directive. [Jim Jagielski]
310 *) rotatelogs: Improve error message for open failures. PR 39487.
313 *) Better detection and clean up of ldap connection that has been
314 terminated by the ldap server. PR 40878.
315 [Rob Baily <rbaily servicebench com>]
317 *) mod_mem_cache: Convert mod_mem_cache to use APR memory pool functions
318 by creating a root pool for object persistence across requests. This
319 also eliminates the need for custom serialization code.
320 [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
322 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Add an AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute directive. If
323 set, REMOTE_USER will be set to this attribute, rather than the
324 username supplied by the user. Useful for example when you want users
325 to log in using an email address, but need to supply a userid instead
326 to the backend. [Graham Leggett]
328 *) mod_cgi and mod_cgid: Don't use apr_status_t error return
329 from input filters as HTTP return value from the handler.
332 *) mod_cache: Eliminate a bogus error in the log when a filter returns
333 AP_FILTER_ERROR. [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
335 *) core: Fix issue which could cause piped loggers to be orphaned and never
336 terminate after a graceful restart. PR 40651. [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem]
338 *) core: Fix address-in-use startup failure caused by corruption of the list
339 of listen sockets in some configurations with multiple generic Listen
340 directives. [Jeff Trawick]
342 *) mod_headers: Support regexp-based editing of HTTP headers. [Nick Kew]
344 *) mod_proxy: Add explicit flushing feature. When Servlet container sends AJP
345 body message with size 0, this means that Servlet container has asked for
346 an explicit flush. Create flush bucket in that case. This feature has been
347 added to the recent Tomcat versions without breaking the AJP protocol.
350 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Set the new environment variable BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED
351 if a worker with a route different from the one supplied by the client
352 had been chosen or if the client supplied no routing information for
353 a balancer with sticky sessions. [Ruediger Pluem]
355 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Add information about the route, the sticky session
356 and the worker used during a request as environment variables. PR 39806.
357 [Brian <brectanu gmail.com>]
359 *) mod_proxy: Don't try to use dead backend connection. PR 37770.
360 [Olivier BOEL <ob dorrboel.com>]
362 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Extract stickysession routing information contained as
363 parameter in the URL correctly. PR 40400.
364 [Ruediger Pluem, Tomokazu Harada <harada sysrdc.ns-sol.co.jp>]
366 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Added cping/cpong support for the AJP protocol.
367 A new worker directive ping=timeout will cause CPING packet
368 to be send expecting CPONG packet within defined timeout.
369 In case the backend is too busy this will fail instead
370 sending the full header. [Mladen Turk]
372 *) mod_cache: From RFC3986 (section 6.2.3.) if a URI contains an
373 authority component and an empty path, the empty path is to be equivalent
374 to "/". It explicitly cites the following four URIs as equivalents:
378 http://example.com:80/
379 [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
381 *) mod_cache: Don't cache requests with a expires date in the past;
382 otherwise mod_cache will always try to cache the URL. This bug
383 might lead to numerous rename() errors on win32 if the URL was
384 previously cached. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
386 *) mod_disk_cache: Make sure that only positive integers are accepted
387 for the CacheMaxFileSize and CacheMinFileSize parameters in the
388 config file. PR39380. [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
390 *) core: Deal with the widespread use of apr_status_t return values
391 as HTTP status codes, as documented in PR#31759 (a bug shared by
392 the default handler, mod_cgi, mod_cgid, mod_proxy, and probably
393 others). PR31759. [Jeff Trawick, Ruediger Pluem, Joe Orton]
395 *) mod_ext_filter: Handle filter names which include capital letters.
396 PR 40323. [Jeff Trawick]
398 *) mod_isapi: Avoid double trailing slashes in HSE_REQ_MAP_URL_TO_PATH
399 support. Also corrects the slashes for Windows.
400 PR 15993. [William Rowe]
402 *) mod_isapi: Handle "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" style status lines correctly, the
403 token parser worked while the resulting length was misinterpreted.
404 PR 29098. [Brock Bland <bbland serena.com>]
406 *) mod_isapi: Return 0 (failure) for more of the various ap_pass_brigade
407 attempts to stream the response at the client. Log these as well.
408 PR 30022, 40470. [William Rowe, Matt Eaton <asf divinehawk.com>]
410 *) mod_isapi: Ensure we walk through all the methods the developer may have
411 employed to report their HTTP status result code.
412 PR 16637 30033 28089. [Matt Lewandowsky <matt iamcode.net>, William Rowe]
414 *) mod_echo: Fix precedence problem in if statement. PR 40658.

417 *) mod_mime_magic: Fix precedence problem in if statement. PR 40656.
418 [Larry Cipriani <lvc lucent.com>]
420 *) The full server version information is now included in the error log at
421 startup as well as server status reports, irrespective of the setting
422 of the ServerTokens directive. ap_get_server_version() is now
423 deprecated, and is replaced by ap_get_server_banner() and
424 ap_get_server_description(). [Jeff Trawick]
426 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Workers can now be defined as part of
427 a balancer cluster "set" in which members of a lower-numbered set
428 are preferred over higher numbered ones. [Jim Jagielski]
430 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Workers can now be defined as "hot standby" which
431 will only be used if all other workers are unusable (eg: in
432 error or disabled). Also, the balancer-manager displays the election
433 count and I/O counts of all workers. [Jim Jagielski]
435 *) mod_proxy_ajp: Close connection to backend if reading of request body
436 fails. PR 40310. [Ian Abel <ianabel mxtelecom.com>]
438 *) mod_proxy_balancer: Retry worker chosen by route / redirect worker if
439 it is in error state before sending "Service Temporarily Unavailable".

3342 *) Fix streaming output from an nph- CGI script. CGI:IRC now
3343 works. PR 8482 [Jeff Trawick]
3345 *) More accurate logging of bytes sent in mod_logio when
3346 the client terminates the connection before the response
3347 is completely sent [Bojan Smojver <bojan rexursive.com>]
3349 *) Fix some problems in the perchild MPM.
3350 [Jonas Eriksson <jonas webkonsulterna.com>]
3352 *) Change the CacheRoot processing to check for a required
3353 value at config time. This saves a lot of wasted processing
3354 if the mod_disk_cache module is loaded but no CacheRoot
3355 was provided. This fix also adds code to log an error
3356 and avoid useless pallocs and procesing when the computed
3357 cache file name cannot be opened. This also updates the
3358 docs accordingly. [Paul J. Reder]
3360 *) Introduce the EnableSendfile directive, allowing users of NFS
3361 shares to disable sendfile mechanics when they either fail
3362 outright or provide intermitantly corrupted data. PR

3370 *) Add the ProxyBadHeader directive, which gives the admin some
3371 control on how mod_proxy should handle bogus HTTP headers from
3372 proxied servers. This allows 2.0 to "emulate" 1.3's behavior if
3373 desired. [Jim Jagielski]

3398 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0840 (cve.mitre.org)
3399 HTML-escape the address produced by ap_server_signature() against
3400 this cross-site scripting vulnerability exposed by the directive
3401 'UseCanonicalName Off'. Also HTML-escape the SERVER_NAME
3402 environment variable for CGI and SSI requests. It's safe to
3403 escape as only the '<', '>', and '&' characters are affected,
3404 which won't appear in a valid hostname. Reported by Matthew
3405 Murphy <mattmurphy kc.rr.com>. [Brian Pane]
3407 *) Fix a core dump in mod_cache when it attemtped to store uncopyable
3408 buckets. This happened, for instance, when a file to be cached
3409 contained SSI tags to execute a CGI script (passed as a pipe
3410 bucket). [Paul J. Reder]
3412 *) Ensure that output already available is flushed to the network
3413 when the content-length filter realizes that no new output will
3414 be available for a while. This helps some streaming CGIs as

3447 *) Make mod_cache's CacheMaxStreamingBuffer directive work
3448 properly for virtual hosts that override server-wide mod_cache
3449 setttings. [Matthieu Estrade <estrade-m ifrance.com>]
3451 *) Add -p option to apxs to allow programs to be compiled with apxs.

3526 *) The content-length filter no longer tries to buffer up
3527 the entire output of a long-running request before sending
3528 anything to the client. [Brian Pane]
3530 *) Win32: Lower the default stack size from 1MB to 256K. This will
3531 allow around 8000 threads to be started per child process.
3532 'EDITBIN /STACK:size apache.exe' can be used to change this
3533 value directly in the apache.exe executable.
3536 *) Win32: Implement ThreadLimit directive in the Windows MPM.

3583 *) mod_disk_cache works much better. This module should still
3584 be considered experimental. [Eric Prud'hommeaux]
3586 *) Performance improvement for keepalive requests: when setting
3587 aside a small file for potential concatenation with the next
3588 response on the connection, set aside the file descriptor rather
3589 than copying the file into the heap. [Brian Pane]
3591 *) Modified version check on openssl so that it finds the executable
3592 first and then performs a check of the version, only warning the
3593 user if they chose, or we selected, an old version of OpenSSL.
3594 This change also allows the code to work for non-openssl libraries
3595 selected via the --with-ssl=dir option, which can override the
3596 automated library check in any case. [Roy Fielding]
3598 Changes with Apache 2.0.40
3600 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0661 (cve.mitre.org)
3601 Close a very significant security hole that
3602 applies only to the Win32, OS2 and Netware platforms. Unix was not
3603 affected, Cygwin may be affected. Certain URIs will bypass security
3604 and allow users to invoke or access any file depending on the system
3605 configuration. Without upgrading, a single .conf change will close
3606 the vulnerability. Add the following directive in the global server
3607 httpd.conf context before any other Alias or Redirect directives;
3608 RedirectMatch 400 "\\\.\."
3609 Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest sitoverde.com>.
3612 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0654 (cve.mitre.org)
3613 Close a path-revealing exposure in multiview type
3614 map negotiation (such as the default error documents) where the
3615 module would report the full path of the typemapped .var file when
3616 multiple documents or no documents could be served based on the mime
3617 negotiation. Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest sitoverde.com>.
3620 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0654 (cve.mitre.org)
3621 Close a path-revealing exposure in cgi/cgid when we
3622 fail to invoke a script. The modules would report "couldn't create
3623 child process /path-to-script/script.pl" revealing the full path
3624 of the script. Reported by Jim Race <jrace qualys.com>.
3627 *) Set aside the apr-iconv and apr_xlate() features for the Win32

3630 will be available for those that wish to work with apr-iconv.
3633 *) Fix proxy so that it is possible to access ftp: URLs via a proxy
3634 chain. [Peter Van Biesen <peter.vanbiesen vlafo.be>]
3636 *) mod-deflate now checks to make sure that 'gzip-only-text/html' is
3637 set to 1, so we can exclude things from the general case with
3638 browsermatch. [Ian Holsman, Andre Schild <A.Schild aarboard.ch>]
3640 *) Accept multiple leading /'s for requests within the DocumentRoot.
3641 PR 10946 [William Rowe, David Shane Holden <dpejesh yahoo.com>]
3643 *) Solved the reports of .pdf byterange failures on Win32 alone.
3644 APR's sendfile for the win32 platform collapses header and trailer
3645 buffers into a single buffer. However, we destroyed the pointers
3646 to the header buffer if a trailer buffer was present. PR 10781
3649 *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to enable or disable a filter via
3650 an environment variable. Add the ability to register a filter of
3651 type other than AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE. [Jeff Trawick]
3653 *) Restore the ability to specify host names on Listen directives.
3654 PR 11030. [Jeff Trawick, David Shane Holden <dpejesh yahoo.com>]
3656 *) When deciding on the default address family for listening sockets,
3657 make sure we can actually bind to an AF_INET6 socket before
3658 deciding that we should default to AF_INET6. This fixes a startup
3659 problem on certain levels of OpenUNIX. PR 10235. [Jeff Trawick]
3661 *) Replace usage of atol() to parse strings when we might want a
3662 larger-than-long value with apr_atoll(), which returns long long.
3663 This allows HTTPD to deal with larger files correctly.
3664 [Shantonu Sen <ssen apple.com>]
3666 *) mod_ext_filter: Ignore any content-type parameters when checking if
3667 the response should be filtered. Previously, "intype=text/html"
3668 wouldn't match something like "text/html;charset=8859_1".
3671 *) mod_ext_filter: Set up environment variables for external programs.
3672 [Craig Sebenik <craig netapp.com>]
3674 *) Modified the HTTP_IN filter to immediately append the EOS (end of
3675 stream) bucket for C-L POST bodies, saving a roundtrip and allowing
3676 the caller to determine that no content remains without prefetching
3677 additional POST body. [William Rowe]

3681 *) Look for OpenSSL libraries in /usr/lib64. [Peter Poeml <poeml suse.de>]
3683 *) Update SuSE layout. [Peter Poeml <poeml suse.de>]
3685 *) Changes to the internationalized error documents:

3696 and MSVC now trust that the project is current (when it is).
3697 [James Cox <imajes php.net>]
3699 *) mod_ext_filter: don't segfault if content-type is not set. PR 10617.

3702 *) APR-Util Renames pending have been completed [Thom May]
3704 *) Performance improvements for the code that reads request
3705 headers (ap_rgetline_core() and related functions) [Brian Pane]
3707 *) Add a new directive: MaxMemFree. MaxMemFree makes it possible
3708 to configure the maximum amount of memory the allocators will
3709 hold on to for reuse. Anything over the MaxMemFree threshold
3710 will be free()d. This directive is useful when uncommon large
3711 peaks occur in memory usage. It should _not_ be used to mask
3712 defective modules' memory use. [Sander Striker]
3714 *) Fixed the Content-Length filter so that HTTP/1.0 requests to CGI
3715 scripts would not result in a truncated response.
3716 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley]
3718 *) Add a filter_init parameter to the filter registration functions
3719 so that a filter can execute arbitrary code before the handlers
3720 are invoked. This resolves a problem where mod_include requests
3721 would incorrectly return a 304. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3723 *) Fix a long-standing bug in 2.0, CGI scripts were being called
3724 with relative paths instead of absolute paths. Apache 1.3 used
3725 absolute paths for everything except for SuExec, this brings back
3726 that standard. [Ryan Bloom]
3728 *) Fix infinite loop due to two HTTP_IN filters being present for
3729 internally redirected requests. PR 10146. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3731 *) Switch conn_rec->keepalive to an enumeration rather than a bitfield.
3734 *) Fix mod_ext_filter to look in the main server for filter definitions
3735 when running in a vhost if the filter definition is not found in
3736 the vhost. PR 10147 [Jeff Trawick]
3738 *) Support WinNT CGI invocation through ScriptInterpreterSource
3739 'registry' for script interpreter paths and names with non-ascii
3740 characters in the executable filepath. [William Rowe]
3742 *) Support the -w flag on to keep the Win32 console open on error.
3745 *) Normalize the hostname value in the request_rec to all-lowercase
3746 [Perry Harrington <pedward webcom.com>]
3748 *) Fix WinNT cgi 500 errors when QUERY_ARGS or other strings include
3749 extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format. This brings
3750 Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up
3751 to the cgi application itself. [William Rowe]
3753 *) Major overhaul of mod_dav, mod_dav_fs and the experimental/cache
3754 modules to bring them up to the current apr/apr-util APIs.
3757 *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache most frequently observed when
3758 serving the same file to multiple clients on an MP machine.
3761 *) mod_rewrite can now set cookies (RewriteRule (.*) - [CO=name:$1:.domain])
3762 [Brian Degenhardt <bmd mp3.com>, Ian Holsman]
3764 *) Fix perchild to work with apachectl by adding -k support to perchild.
3765 PR 10074 [Jeff Trawick]
3767 *) Fix a silly htpasswd.c logic error that incorrectly reported that
3768 both -c and -n had been used. PR 9989 [Cliff Woolley]
3770 *) Fixed a mod_include error case in which no HTTP response was sent
3771 to the client if an shtml document contained an unterminated SSI
3772 directive [Brian Pane]
3774 *) Improve ap_get_client_block implementation by using APR-util brigade
3775 helper functions and relying on current filter assumptions.
3778 Changes with Apache 2.0.39
3780 *) Fixed a build problem in htpasswd.c on Win32.
3781 [Guenter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>, Cliff Woolley]
3783 Changes with Apache 2.0.38
3785 *) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR. The removes the annoying warning about
3786 tmpnam being unsafe. [Ryan Bloom]
3788 *) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
3789 to be parsed for SSI tags. Add the config for that to the default
3790 config file so that it is easier to enable .shtml parsing.
3791 [Dave Dyer <ddyer real-me.net>]
3793 *) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix.
3794 [Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
3796 *) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
3797 another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory
3798 is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't
3799 loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3801 *) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
3802 PR 9866 [Brian Pane]
3804 *) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install
3805 into a directory different from the one that was configured. This
3806 also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=,
3807 because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at
3808 configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix
3809 to replace. [Andreas Hasenack <andreas netbank.com.br>]
3811 *) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
3812 These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
3813 accept(). [Jeff Trawick]
3815 *) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For
3816 certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
3817 should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
3818 mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick]
3820 *) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
3821 early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
3822 from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
3823 to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
3825 *) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
3826 Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
3828 *) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
3829 hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
3832 *) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
3833 utility. [Brad Nicholes]

4187 to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
4188 Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
4189 messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused

4508 *) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
4509 when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy. [Graham Leggett]
4511 *) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
4512 should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
4513 transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the
4514 client. This prevents the backend server from being forced to hang
4515 around while the last few bytes are transmitted to a slow client.

4557 *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
4558 this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
4559 running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
4560 server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
4562 *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
4563 This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
4564 mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
4565 passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
4567 *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
4568 ignored. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
4571 *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
4572 --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,

4574 used instead. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
4577 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides

4587 *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
4588 to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
4589 apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should

4602 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4604 *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file

4612 *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
4613 multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the

4628 *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
4629 single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
4630 are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
4631 client. [Graham Leggett]
4633 *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
4634 header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
4635 previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
4636 values (like cookies) going missing.

4665 *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
4666 better manage removing objects from the cache.
4669 *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
4670 Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
4671 get anonymous shared memory by default. [Aaron Bannert]
4673 *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
4674 we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
4675 is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
4676 not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
4677 fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
4678 DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
4679 ability to access our scoreboard. [Aaron Bannert]
4681 *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
4682 Content-Lengths. [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
4684 *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
4685 no <Directory /> block. [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
4687 *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
4688 keep-alive logic. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
4690 *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
4691 of the cgid process. [Aaron Bannert]
4693 *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
4694 (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case. [Aaron Bannert]
4696 *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
4697 worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them. [Brian Pane]
4699 *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process. Instead,
4700 the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
4701 child processes. [Ryan Bloom]
4703 Changes with Apache 2.0.32
4705 *) mod_negotiation: ForceLanguagePriority now uses 'Prefer' as the
4706 default if the directive is not specified. This mirrors older
4707 behavior without changes to the httpd.conf. [William Rowe]
4709 *) Win32: solve the win32 service problems in 2.0.31-alpha, by fixing
4710 the service, mpm and logging code, and bugs in apr_file_open_stderr
4711 and apr_file_dup2 functions. Win2K/XP services have no handles
4712 associated for stdin/out/err, which caused unpredictable behavior
4713 in the prior release. [William Rowe, Bill Stoddard]
4715 *) Win32: simplify the Application Event Log messages, since there isn't
4716 likely to be 'more information in the error log' before an error log
4717 has been opened. [William Rowe]
4719 *) Win32: substantial cleanup to the mpm_winnt code for legibility and
4720 to follow the program flow of other MPMs. [Ryan Bloom, William Rowe]
4722 *) Win32: apache -k shutdown now behaves like apache -k stop.
4725 *) Fix prefork to not kill the parent if a child hits a resource shortage
4726 on accept(). [Greg Ames]
4728 *) Fix seg faults that occur when what should be the httpd request line
4729 starts with \r\n followed by garbage. [Greg Ames]
4731 *) Allow statically linked support binaries with the new
4732 --enable-static-support flag, and enable this behavior in
4733 the binbuild script. Also add a new --enable-static-htdbm
4734 flag. [Aaron Bannert]
4736 *) Allow mod_autoindex to serve symlinks if permitted and attempt to
4737 do only one stat() call when generating the directory listings.
4740 *) Fix resolve_symlink to save the original symlink name if known.
4743 *) Be a bit more sane with regard to CanonicalNames. If the user has
4744 specified they want to use the CanonicalName, but they have not
4745 configured a port with the ServerName, then use the same port that
4746 the original request used. [Ryan Bloom and Ken Coar]
4748 *) In core_input_filter, check for an empty brigade after
4749 APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE(). Otherwise, we can get segfaults if a
4750 client says it will post some data but we get FIN before any
4751 data arrives. [Jeff Trawick]
4753 *) Not being able to bind to the socket is a fatal error. We should
4754 print an error to the console, and return a non-zero status code.
4755 With these changes, all of the Unix MPMs do that correctly.
4758 *) suexec: Allow HTTPS and SSL_* environment variables to be passed
4759 through to CGI scripts. PR 9163
4760 [Brian Reid <breid customlogic.com>,
4761 Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
4763 *) binbuild.sh: Make sure that we use the expat from our source
4764 tree so that there aren't any surprises on the target machine.
4767 *) mod_cgid: Add retry logic for when the daemon can't fork fast
4768 enough to keep up with new requests. Start using
4769 HTTP_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE instead of HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
4770 when we can't talk to the daemon. [Jeff Trawick]
4772 *) apxs: LTFLAGS envvar can override default libtool options. Try
4773 "LTFLAGS=' ' apxs -c mod_foo.c" to see what libtool does under
4774 the covers. [Jeff Trawick]
4776 *) The Location: response header field, used for external
4777 redirect, *must* be an absoluteURI. The Redirect directive
4778 tested for that, but RedirectMatch didn't -- it would allow
4779 almost anything through. Now it will try to turn an abs_path
4780 into an absoluteURI, but it will correctly varf like Redirect
4781 if the final redirection target isn't an absoluteURI. [Ken Coar]
4783 Changes with Apache 2.0.31
4785 *) Create the scoreboard (in the parent) in a global pool context,
4786 so it survives graceful restarts. This fixes a SEGV during
4787 graceful restarts. [Aaron Bannert]
4789 *) Add a timeout option to the proxy code 'ProxyTimeout'
4792 *) FTP directory listings are now always retrieved in ASCII mode.
4793 The FTP proxy properly escapes URI's and HTML in the generated
4794 listing, and escapes the path components when talking to the FTP
4795 server. It is now possible to browse the root directory by using
4796 a url like: ftp://user@host/%2f/ (ported from apache_1.3.24)
4797 Also, the last path component may contain wildcard characters
4798 '*' and '?', and if they do, a directory listing is created instead
4799 of a file retrieval. Example: ftp://user@host/httpd/server/*.c
4802 *) Added single-listener unserialized accept support to the
4803 worker MPM [Brian Pane]
4805 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: 'ProxyPreserveHost'. This passes
4806 the incoming host header through to the proxied server
4807 [Geoff <g.russell ieee.org>]
4809 *) New Directive Option for ProxyPass. It now can block a location
4810 from being proxied [Jukka Pihl <jukka.pihl entirem.com>]
4812 *) Don't let the default handler try to serve a raw directory. At
4813 best you get gibberish. Much worse things can happen depending
4814 on the OS. [Jeff Trawick]
4816 *) Change the pre_config hook to return a value. Modules can now emit
4817 an error message and then cause the server to quit gracefully during
4818 startup. This required a bump to the MMN. [Aaron Bannert]
4820 *) Fix some unix socket descriptor leaks in the handler side of
4821 mod_cgid (the part that runs in the server process). Whack a
4822 silly "close(-1)" in the handler too. [Jeff Trawick]
4824 *) Change the pre_mpm hook to return a value, so that scoreboard
4825 init errors percolate up to code that knows how to exit
4826 cleanly. This required a bump to the MMN. [Jeff Trawick]
4828 *) Add the socket back to the conn_rec and remove the create_connection
4829 hook. The create_connection hook had a design flaw that did not
4830 allow creating connections based on vhost info. [Bill Stoddard]
4832 *) Fixed PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING from mod_negotiation results.
4833 Resolves the common case of using negotation to resolve the request
4834 /script/foo for /script.cgi/foo. [William Rowe]
4836 *) Added new functions ap_add_(input|output)_filter_handle to
4837 allow modules to bypass the usual filter name lookup when
4838 adding hard-coded filters to a request [Brian Pane]
4840 *) caching should now work on subrequests (still very experimental)
4843 *) The Win32 mpm_winnt now has a shared scoreboard. [William Rowe]
4845 *) Change ap_get_brigade prototype to use apr_off_t instead of apr_off_t*.
4848 *) Refactor ap_rgetline so that it does not use an internal brigade.
4849 Change ap_rgetline's prototype to return errors. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4851 *) Remove mod_auth_db. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4853 *) Do not install unnecessary pcre headers like config.h and internal.h.
4854 [Joe Orton <joe manyfish.co.uk>]
4856 *) Change in quick_hanlder behavior for subrequests. it now passes DONE
4857 (as it does for a normal request). quick_handled sub-requests now work
4858 in mod-include [Ian Holsman]
4860 *) Change SUBREQ_CORE so that it is a 'HTTP_HEADER' filter instead of
4861 'CONTENT' one, as it needs to run AFTER all content headers
4863 *) Rename BeOS MPM directive RequestsPerThread to MaxRequestsPerThread.
4866 *) Split out blocking from the mode in the input filters.
4869 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
4871 *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in
4872 Apache to the main server error log, until the child can
4873 open its own error logs. [William Rowe]
4875 *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept()
4876 returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. (ported from th 1.3 patch)
4877 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>, Bill Stoddard]
4879 *) Fix a problem in the parsing of the <Proxy foo> directive.
4882 *) rewrite of mod_ssl input filter for better performance and less
4883 memory usage [Doug MacEachern]
4885 *) allow quick_handler to be run on subrequests. [Ian Holsman]
4887 *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the
4888 filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
4889 API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]
4891 *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
4892 we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
4893 This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
4894 the returned socket if it was non-NULL. [Brian Pane]
4896 *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
4897 to avoid segfaults. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
4899 *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
4900 data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs. MMN
4901 bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
4902 the core_dir_config structure. [Ken Coar]
4904 *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
4905 wrong config to ap_get_remote_host(). [Jeff Trawick]
4907 *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
4908 using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
4911 *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
4912 the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
4914 *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core,
4915 mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
4916 modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former
4917 compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule
4918 directives. [William Rowe]
4920 *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by
4921 duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include
4922 directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe]
4924 *) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL:
4925 Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL
4926 structures wherever possible.
4927 Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer.
4928 Add $SSL/include to configure search path.
4929 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
4931 *) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is
4932 more portable, and will present the vhost name across server
4933 generation restarts. [William Rowe]
4935 *) Fix SSLPassPhraseDialog exec: and SSLRandomSeed exec:
4938 Changes with Apache 2.0.30
4940 *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are
4941 still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now
4942 run without crashing the machine.
4943 [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
4945 *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section.
4946 [albert chin <china thewrittenword.com>]
4948 *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
4949 and handling CONNECT:
4950 (1) PR #9190 Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
4951 (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by
4952 the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.
4955 *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
4956 modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
4957 listed as config_log_module). PR #9338
4958 [James Watson <ap2bug sowega.org>]
4960 *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP
4961 filter. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4963 *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns
4964 an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line.
4967 *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the
4968 end of the status line returned from the proxied server.
4969 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
4971 *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read().
4972 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
4974 *) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing.
4977 *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]
4979 *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
4980 returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
4981 when using Multiviews. [William Rowe]
4983 *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
4984 together reliably [Greg Ames]
4986 *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
4987 phase. [Aaron Bannert]
4989 *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
4990 problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
4993 *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
4994 child process exits. [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]
4996 *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
4998 *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
4999 vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
5000 that address. [Jeff Trawick]
5002 *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
5003 used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]
5005 *) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
5006 string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
5007 the stack [Brian Pane]
5009 *) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
5010 directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]
5012 *) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
5014 *) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
5015 if oslevel < WINNT. This should fix several problems reported
5016 Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
5018 *) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
5019 to fail. [Bill Stoddard]
5021 *) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
5022 limits at startup. prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have
5023 directives to set these limits. [Jeff Trawick]
5025 *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
5026 successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
5027 eliminates a number of spurious
5028 setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
5031 *) Move any load library path environment variables out of
5032 apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
5033 can be more easily tailored by the admin. The environment
5034 variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
5035 specific settings. For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
5036 settings to allow lots of threads. [Jeff Trawick]
5038 *) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
5039 contention in the worker MPM. [Sander Striker]
5041 *) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
5042 and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
5043 perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
5044 had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
5045 127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
5046 messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
5049 *) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
5050 avoid locking problems with NFS. [Jeff Trawick]
5052 *) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
5053 [Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
5055 *) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
5056 working with more than one vhost/uid. [Aaron Bannert]
5058 *) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to
5059 perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install
5060 mod_foo.so. This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX
5061 which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
5064 *) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
5065 our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
5066 loading third-party modules. This allows third-party DSOs to
5067 be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
5068 built as DSOs. (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
5071 *) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
5072 user to hard-code the list of import files. (This should help
5073 on OS/390 and BeOS as well.) [Jeff Trawick]
5075 *) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.
5076 PR 8563, 8919 [William Rowe]
5078 *) Get binary builds working when libapr and libaprutil are built
5081 *) Get shared builds of libapr and libaprutil, as well as Apache DSOs,
5082 working on AIX. [Aaron Bannert, Dick Dunbar <RLDunbar pacbell.net>,
5083 Gary Hook <ghook us.ibm.com>, Victor Orlikowski, Jeff Trawick]
5085 *) Fix the handling of SSI directives in which the ">" of the
5086 terminating "-->" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane]
5088 *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)"
5089 message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered
5090 throughout our docs. [Aaron Bannert]
5092 *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an
5093 error in the command line args to apache. [William Rowe]
5095 *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log
5098 *) Various mod_ssl performance improvements [Doug MacEachern]
5100 Changes with Apache 2.0.29
5102 *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
5103 lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
5104 [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]
5106 *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is
5107 installed in the correct location.
5108 [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
5109 Gomez Henri <hgomez slib.fr>]
5111 *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing
5112 a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
5113 the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this,
5114 I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
5115 in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify
5116 the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]
5118 *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
5119 to flag a error while opening logs
5120 [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]
5122 *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
5123 to flag a error post config
5124 [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]
5126 *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
5127 hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
5128 script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter. [Aaron Bannert]
5130 *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
5133 *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.
5134 [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]
5136 *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
5137 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
5139 *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is
5140 configured [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
5142 *) Fix apxs to use sbindir. [Henri Gomez <hgomez slib.fr>]
5144 *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts. PR #8118 [Jeff Trawick]
5146 *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in
5147 mod_include. [Brian Pane]
5149 *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive.
5150 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>, Cliff Woolley] PR#8804
5152 *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed. Use the worker
5153 MPM instead. [various]
5155 *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id. This fixes a bug
5156 in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup. [Jeff Trawick]
5158 *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123.
5161 *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error.
5164 *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include. When we include a
5165 file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request
5166 immediately, instead we waited until the original request was
5167 done. This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is
5168 done being generated. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5170 *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to
5171 define the function that should be used to accept on that
5172 socket. Each MPM can define their own function to use for
5173 the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro. This
5174 also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling
5175 logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs.
5178 *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted
5179 when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required
5180 filters were attached to the wrong request_rec.
5181 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
5183 *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define
5184 directives that are used by MPMs. Prior to this patch,
5185 you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike
5186 the macros for any other directives. Now, the caller provides
5187 the comma rather than the macro providing it. This makes
5188 the macros look more like the rest of the directives.
5189 [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley]
5191 *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending
5192 redirects under special circumstances. This is helpful for
5193 Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via
5194 DAV methods. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5196 *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer.
5197 The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec,
5198 the server now lives in a context that is passed to the
5199 core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very
5200 careful when adding calls that use the socket directly,
5201 because the socket isn't available in most locations.
5204 *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded
5205 when the configured value is not a multiple of the number
5206 of threads per child. We said we did previously but we
5207 forgot to. [Jeff Trawick]
5209 *) Add Debian layout. [Daniel Stone <daniel sfarc.net>]
5211 *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available,
5212 produce a fatal config-time error. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5214 *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to
5215 do. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5217 *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix)
5218 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5220 Changes with Apache 2.0.28
5222 *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c.
5223 [Dale Ghent <daleg elemental.org>, Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5225 *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the
5226 server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for
5227 run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on
5228 SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of
5229 UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections
5230 work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the
5231 connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName
5232 setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated
5233 to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
5235 *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in
5236 the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman]
5238 *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and
5239 AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard
5240 MPMs. [Cliff Woolley]
5242 *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization
5243 databases. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
5245 *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk.
5246 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5248 Changes with Apache 2.0.27
5250 *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template
5251 (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5253 *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could
5254 be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests
5255 from the core input filter for single lines are now limited
5256 to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes). [Aaron Bannert]
5258 *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header.
5259 The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for
5260 the port string. [Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
5262 *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result
5263 in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged. Now we log the
5264 error. [Jeff Trawick]
5266 *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time
5267 validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive.
5270 *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is
5271 treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error;
5272 and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without
5273 APR_HAS_DSO. [Aaron Bannert]
5275 *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket
5276 gets disconnected unexpectedly. [Cliff Woolley]
5278 *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die. This removes
5279 all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache.
5280 [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]
5282 *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in
5283 mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at
5284 server graceful restart, when the child process exits
5285 by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child
5286 process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard]
5288 *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was
5289 not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable
5290 the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon
5291 the old child starting shutdown.
5294 *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that
5295 IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing
5296 and thus always returning "nobody."
5297 [Dick Streefland <Dick.Streefland xs4all.nl>]
5299 *) Introduced thread saftey for mod_rewrite's internal cache.
5300 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5302 *) Simplified mod_env's directives to behave as most directives are
5303 expected, in that UnsetEnv will not unset a SetEnv and PassEnv
5304 directive following that UnsetEnv within the same container.
5305 Also provides a runtime startup warning if a PassEnv configured
5306 environment value is undefined. [William Rowe]
5308 *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It
5309 uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes,
5310 and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert]
5312 *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated
5313 Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5315 *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project
5318 *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This
5319 is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to
5320 deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick]
5322 *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin
5323 server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules
5324 to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module
5325 is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add
5326 input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While
5327 I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request
5328 creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be
5329 greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom]
5331 Changes with Apache 2.0.26
5333 *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded
5336 *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works
5337 with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5339 *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator
5340 to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename
5341 extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with
5342 MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions
5343 that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.)
5344 or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even
5345 if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe]
5347 *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to
5348 the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled
5349 as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5351 *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering
5352 system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5354 *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but
5355 not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick]
5357 *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared.
5358 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5360 *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations
5361 required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes.
5362 Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section
5363 merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and
5364 precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip
5365 the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe]
5367 *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other
5368 WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
5370 *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive
5371 is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to
5372 listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended
5373 to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the
5374 ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it
5375 reports the port that it is listening on. This change was
5376 made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port
5377 directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server
5378 would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command,
5379 which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom]
5381 *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32
5382 build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe]
5384 *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified,
5385 then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are.
5386 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5388 *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu
5389 and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions.
5390 [Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106 uni-bonn.de>, Lars Eilebrecht]
5392 *) Eliminate the deprecated r->content_language, in favor of the array
5393 r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must
5394 substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded
5395 if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe]
5397 *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13.
5400 *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize
5401 code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and
5402 ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5404 *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family.
5407 *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the
5408 current SDK.) [William Rowe]
5410 *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed
5411 config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett]
5413 *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version
5414 of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be
5415 relocated. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5417 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
5418 of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox]
5420 *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum
5421 number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of
5422 specifying the maximum number of child processes.
5423 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5425 *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to
5426 be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5428 *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds.
5429 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5431 *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers.
5432 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
5434 *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5436 *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings
5437 to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time.
5438 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5440 *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may
5441 improve cache-hit performance under some conditions.
5442 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5444 *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that
5445 support it. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5447 *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction
5448 pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools
5449 around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the
5450 queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to
5451 state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated
5452 segments for. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5454 *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
5456 *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body.
5459 *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead
5460 property management. [Greg Stein]
5462 *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and
5463 roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable
5464 ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe]
5466 *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm
5467 to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5469 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an
5470 internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus
5471 string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom]
5473 *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes
5474 now reuse previous section merges on a <Location > by <Location >
5475 basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk.
5478 *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made
5479 us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected
5480 URI, instead of the originally requested URI.
5481 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
5483 *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to
5484 compute variables. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5486 *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should
5487 log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging
5488 the file size. [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
5490 *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather
5491 than per character. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5493 *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to
5494 run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in
5495 robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe]
5497 *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set
5498 (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
5500 *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other
5501 part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5503 *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only].
5504 This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32
5505 platform, which is the recommended configuration for native
5506 Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for
5507 cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj <tolj wapme-systems.de>]
5509 *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters
5510 must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.)
5511 The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent
5512 container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in <Directory /web/foo>
5513 will override any SetInputFilter directive in <Directory /web>.)
5514 This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter
5515 directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases
5516 where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the
5517 global configuration if the multiple directives were nested.
5520 *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething
5521 was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or
5522 Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType,
5523 but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given
5524 for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html
5525 without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to
5526 use the default content type. [William Rowe]
5528 *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache
5529 code. [Graham Leggett]
5531 Changes with Apache 2.0.25
5533 *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so
5534 that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document
5535 root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection
5536 into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer]
5538 *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using
5539 mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified
5540 user attributes in a page like so:
5541 Hello <!--#echo var="AUTHENTICATE_CN"-->, how are you?
5544 *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
5545 transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
5546 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5548 *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
5549 of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
5550 not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
5551 an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
5552 an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
5553 won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
5554 requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
5555 .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
5558 *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
5559 and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
5560 filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
5563 *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
5564 keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
5566 *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
5567 macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
5568 by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
5569 the code to check the return code from the macro and
5570 do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder]
5572 *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
5575 *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
5576 up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
5578 *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
5579 amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
5580 longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
5581 hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
5583 *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
5584 ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
5585 walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
5586 with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
5587 either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
5588 only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
5591 *) SECURITY: Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
5592 an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
5593 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
5595 *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
5596 the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
5597 shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
5598 directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c.
5601 *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter
5602 if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler.
5603 This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier
5604 to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3
5605 config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP
5606 to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom]
5608 *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always
5609 get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks
5610 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
5611 Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
5613 *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also
5614 cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using
5615 pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
5617 *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock
5619 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
5621 *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error
5622 codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the
5623 include handler return code wasn't being checked.
5624 I don't like macros with returns, so I converted
5625 SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function.
5626 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5628 *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured
5629 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
5631 *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time
5632 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
5634 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no
5635 associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for
5636 a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick]
5638 *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick]
5640 *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy
5641 of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the
5642 call to ap_log_pid solves the problem.
5644 *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the
5645 status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more
5646 common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe]
5648 *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets
5649 (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error
5650 messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe]
5652 *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard]
5654 *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap
5655 configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf
5658 *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
5661 *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache.
5662 Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds
5663 not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately.
5666 *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP
5667 module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett]
5669 *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now
5670 cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up.
5673 *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include
5674 patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate
5675 more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed.
5678 *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap.
5679 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
5681 *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap.
5682 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
5684 *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest
5685 by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not
5686 met. [Justin Erenkrantz]
5688 Changes with Apache 2.0.24
5690 *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at
5691 offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick]
5693 *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is
5694 reached. [Jeff Trawick]
5696 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line
5697 builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions.
5698 Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users.
5701 *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better
5702 reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the
5703 default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe]
5705 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm
5706 compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites.
5707 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>, William Rowe]
5709 *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20.
5710 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
5712 *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage
5713 and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe]
5715 *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server
5716 processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and
5717 using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this
5718 combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server
5719 processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security
5720 issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
5722 *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries
5723 (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe]
5725 *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time.
5726 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
5728 *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax
5729 for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive
5730 allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or
5731 RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the
5732 setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006,
5733 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar]
5735 *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c
5736 are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards
5737 in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU
5738 make). [Jeff Trawick]
5740 *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
5742 *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all
5743 MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This
5744 should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once.
5745 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
5747 *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a
5748 graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor.
5751 *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast
5752 the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit
5753 integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times.
5754 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net> and Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5756 *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you
5757 told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified
5758 time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time,
5759 so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing
5760 had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute
5761 time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we
5762 need to convert to usec's before using those values.
5765 *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It
5766 definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly.
5767 The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to
5768 just die. [Ryan Bloom]
5770 Changes with Apache 2.0.23
5772 *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various]
5774 *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32.
5775 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
5777 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for
5778 messages written to the rewrite log.
5779 [Richard Labennett <rlabenn us.ibm.com>]
5781 *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the
5782 IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting
5783 still drops the column sort <a href>'s for the column headers, but
5784 IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely.
5787 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2]
5788 to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable
5789 formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and
5790 P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments
5791 were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M
5792 as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending.
5795 *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which
5796 caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes
5797 to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley]
5799 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to
5800 drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the <hr> elements,
5801 and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies
5802 FancyIndexing). [William Rowe]
5804 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified
5805 from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given
5806 multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified
5807 stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many
5808 Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing
5809 files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe]
5811 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst
5812 and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10.
5813 [William Rowe, Ken Coar]
5815 *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache
5816 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe]
5818 *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in
5819 an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized
5820 the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'.
5823 *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept
5824 negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting
5825 to an autoindex of the directory. mod_negotiation will now die
5826 with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames
5827 (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served. mod_negotation now
5828 refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't
5829 recognize, and wasn't part of the request. [William Rowe]
5831 *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file
5832 extension. This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin
5833 wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and
5834 associate .exe files with that content type. Multiviews must be
5835 enabled to allow these to be served. [William Rowe]
5837 *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload
5838 or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes
5839 when they are available. [Greg Ames]
5841 *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to
5842 implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a
5843 fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is
5844 only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom]
5846 *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in
5847 the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then
5848 the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to
5849 stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error.
5852 *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands
5853 and have those methods <limit>able in the httpd.conf. It uses
5854 the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods
5855 such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to
5856 an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than
5857 an int provides. [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
5859 *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible
5860 cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe]
5862 *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with
5863 help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall,
5864 Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
5865 Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley]
5867 *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's.
5868 Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't
5869 count workers in processes which aren't actively
5870 serving requests. [Greg Ames]
5872 *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard]
5874 *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is
5875 definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many
5876 of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a
5877 modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom]
5879 *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer
5880 compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0
5881 Transitional specifications. [William Rowe]
5883 Changes with Apache 2.0.22
5885 *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or
5886 segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using
5887 the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames]
5889 *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's
5890 server version string, including loaded and advertised modules.
5893 *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from
5894 missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter,
5895 create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and
5896 fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from
5897 the build environment. [William Rowe]
5899 *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized
5900 apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick]
5902 *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption
5903 when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config.
5906 *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>
5907 where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for
5908 files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This
5909 problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite
5910 of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard]
5912 *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after
5913 restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the
5914 previous generation was being left around under certain
5915 conditions. [Greg Ames]
5917 *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars
5918 used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren.
5919 [Günter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>]
5921 *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had
5922 work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and
5923 #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c
5924 file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing.
5925 [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
5927 Changes with Apache 2.0.21
5929 *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be
5930 overwritten, regardless of the -c flag.
5931 [William Rowe, Mladen Turk <mladen.turk mail.inet.hr>]
5933 *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime
5934 of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows
5935 its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts.
5938 *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management
5939 modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is
5940 created, and at every restart request.
5941 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
5943 *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and
5944 added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest
5945 daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also
5946 updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder]
5948 *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by
5949 the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process
5950 etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes
5951 that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix,
5952 these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes
5953 prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting
5954 connections (ie, the server would hang).
5957 *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on.
5960 *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after*
5961 processing a connection so that a server processing a time-
5962 consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the
5963 parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an
5964 APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long
5965 time if there aren't server processes around to do accept().
5966 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
5968 *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime,
5969 spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default
5970 httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat
5971 large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is
5972 significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides
5973 a nice speedup. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
5975 *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the
5976 scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the
5977 scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM.
5978 [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
5980 Changes with Apache 2.0.20
5982 *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would
5983 buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes
5984 down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause
5985 significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated
5986 lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard]
5988 *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades.
5991 *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache.
5994 *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all
5995 workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started
5996 was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard]
5998 Changes with Apache 2.0.19
6000 *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child
6001 process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server
6002 was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving
6003 requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to
6004 die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any
6005 new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact
6006 that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children.
6007 Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number
6008 of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in
6009 the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over
6010 MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom]
6012 *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a
6013 factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32
6014 and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results
6015 already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe]
6017 *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests
6018 slightly more efficiently. [Cliff Woolley]
6020 *) Fix problem handling FLUSH bucket in the chunked encoding filter.
6021 Module was calling ap_rwrite() followed by ap_rflush() but the
6022 served content was not being displayed in the browser. Inspection
6023 of the output stream revealed that the first data chunk was
6024 missing the trailing CRLF required by the RFC. [Bill Stoddard]
6026 *) apxs no longer generates ap_send_http_header() in the example handler
6028 *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception
6029 with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/).
6030 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
6032 *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated
6033 filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing
6034 the document to serve. [William Rowe]
6036 *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in
6037 limit. We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which
6038 led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations.
6041 *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include. The
6042 default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and
6043 MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically
6044 live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames]
6046 *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions
6047 on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field.
6048 Example: SetEnvIf ^TS* [a-z].* HAVE_TS
6049 will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins
6050 with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the
6051 set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard]
6053 *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on
6054 multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0.
6055 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6057 *) Fix htdigest. It would go into a loop in getline when adding
6058 a second user. [Bill Stoddard]
6060 *) Win32 platforms now fully support mod_userdir options. [Will Rowe]
6062 *) Automatically generate httpd.exp for AIX.
6063 DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0
6064 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6066 *) Add a new request hook, error_log. This phase allows modules
6067 to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written
6068 to the error log. The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring
6069 modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent.
6072 *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output.
6073 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
6075 *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header
6076 add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally
6077 add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly:
6079 SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader
6080 Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader
6082 If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header
6083 MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response.
6086 *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header
6087 add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported:
6089 %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the
6090 request was received.
6092 %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was
6093 received and the response sent.
6096 Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t"
6098 results in a header being added to the response that looks like this:
6100 MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256
6104 *) Fix reset_filter(). We need to be careful how we remove filters.
6105 If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the
6106 connection's filters. [John Sterling]
6108 *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein]
6110 *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and
6111 contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes
6112 a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling]
6114 *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will
6115 cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be
6116 echoed to (included in) the response headers.
6119 *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H.
6120 This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h. PR #7773
6121 [Oleg Broytmann <phd phd.pp.ru>]
6123 *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library. This required a bunch of
6124 apr_name changes for the uri utility functions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
6126 *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the
6127 insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default.
6130 *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now
6131 add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive
6132 and to responses using the same old Header directive. [Graham Leggett]
6134 Changes with Apache 2.0.18
6136 *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified
6137 Apache will exit. [Jeff Trawick]
6139 *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the
6140 Apache-owned source trees. [Roy Fielding]
6142 *) Fix processing of the TRACE method. Previously we passed bogus
6143 parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures,
6144 resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias().
6145 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6147 *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process
6148 goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has
6149 been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases.
6152 *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file
6153 preflight. This change also circumvents a problem on
6154 Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight
6155 was not getting cleaned up properly.
6158 *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info
6161 *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in
6162 preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted
6163 design notes. [Paul J. Reder]
6165 *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr
6166 and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line
6167 (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were
6168 formerly abusing as LTFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
6170 *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags.
6171 [Barrie Slaymaker <barries slaysys.com>]
6173 *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR
6174 and moving hints.m4 inline. [Roy Fielding]
6176 *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types
6177 of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL
6178 [Ian Holsman <IanH cnet.com>]
6180 *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a
6181 request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to
6182 the cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
6184 *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged
6185 as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0.
6188 *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows
6191 *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the
6192 connection pool. This solves a small resource leak that had us
6193 not closing files until a connection was closed. In order to do
6194 this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the
6195 brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket
6196 that we know will survive clearing the request_rec.
6197 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>,
6200 *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
6201 variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
6202 the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user
6203 to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
6204 need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting
6205 of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to
6206 avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given
6207 on the compile and link lines. Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA,
6208 AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE.
6209 Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros.
6210 Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T. [Roy Fielding]
6212 *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows. PR #7612
6213 [Bernhard Schrenk <b.schrenk improx.com>]
6215 *) Fix shutdown/restart hangs in the threaded MPM.
6216 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom]
6218 *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only
6219 used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable.
6220 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding]
6222 *) Patch prefork to put enough of the signal processing back in so that
6223 signals are all handled properly now. The previous patch fixed the
6224 deadlock race condition, but broke the user directed signal handling.
6225 This fixes it to work the way it did before my previous prefork patch
6226 (primarily, SIGTERM is now working).
6228 *) Change how input filters decide how much data is returned to the
6229 higher filter. We used to use a field in the conn_rec, with this
6230 change, we use an argument to ap_get_brigade to determine how much
6231 data is retrieved. [Ryan Bloom]
6233 *) Fix seg fault at start-up introduced by Ryan's change to enable
6234 modules to specify their own logging tags. mod_log_config
6235 registers an optional function, ap_register_log_handler().
6236 ap_register_log_handler() was being called by http_core before
6237 the directive hash table was created. This patch creates the
6238 directive hash table before ap_register_log_handler() is
6239 registered as an optional function.
6240 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
6242 *) Add ap_set_int_slot() function
6243 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
6245 *) Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the
6246 right response headers when requiring authentication.
6247 [Gertjan van Wingerde <Gertjan.van.Wingerde cmg.nl>] PR#7114
6248 (This is a port of the change that went into Apache 1.3.19.)
6250 *) Allow modules to specify their own logging tags. This basically
6251 allows a module to tell mod_log_config that when %x is encountered
6252 a specific function should be called. Currently, x can be any single
6253 character. It may be more useful to make this a string at some point.
6256 Changes with Apache 2.0.17
6258 *) If a higher-level filter handles the byterange aspects of a
6259 request, then the byterange filter should not try to redo the
6260 work. The most common case of this happening, is a byterange
6261 request going through the proxy, and the origin server handles
6262 the byterange request. The proxy should ignore it.
6263 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
6265 *) Changed the threaded mpm to have child_main join to each of the
6266 worker threads to make sure the kids are all gone before child_main
6267 exits after a signal (cleanup from perform_idle_server_maintenance).
6268 This is an extension of Ryans recent commit to make the child_main
6271 *) Add more options to the ap_mpm_query function. This also allows MPMs to
6272 report if their threads are dynamic or static. Finally, this also
6273 implements a new API, ap_show_mpm, which returns the MPM that was
6274 required into the core. [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
6276 *) Do not install the binaries from the support directory twice.
6277 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
6279 *) The ap_f* functions should flush data to the filter that is passed
6280 in, not the filter after the one passed in.
6281 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
6283 *) Make ab work again by changing its native types to apr types and formats.
6284 [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
6286 *) Move the byterange filter and all of the supporting functions back
6287 to the HTTP module. The byterange filter turned out to be very
6288 HTTP specific, and it belongs in the HTTP module. [Greg Stein]
6290 *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
6291 Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
6293 *) Fix errors in the renaming of the apr_threadattr_detach_xxx functions.
6294 This may have been causing problems stopping processes in the threaded
6297 *) Fix content-length in mod_negotiation to a long int representation.
6300 *) Remove BindAddress from the default config file.
6301 [<giles nemeton.com.au>]
6303 *) Allow module authors to add a module to their Apache build using
6304 --with-module, without re-running buildconf. The syntax is:
6305 --with-module=module_type:/path/to/module.c
6306 The configure script will copy the module.c file to
6307 modules/module_type, and it will be added to the relevant Makefiles.
6308 currently, this only works for static modules. [Ryan Bloom]
6310 *) Changes required to make prefork clean up idle children properly.
6311 There was a window during which a starting worker deadlocks when
6312 an idle cleanup arrives before it completes init. Apache then keeps
6313 trying to cleanup the same deadlocked worker forever (until higher
6314 pids come along, but it still will never reduce below the deadlocked
6315 pid). Thus the number of children would not reduce to the correct
6316 idle level. [Paul J. Reder]
6318 Changes with Apache 2.0.16
6320 *) Change the default installation directory to /usr/local/apache2,
6321 as now defined by the "Apache" layout in config.layout. [Marc Slemko]
6323 *) OS/2: Added support for building loadable modules as OS/2 DLLs.
6326 *) Get MaxRequestsPerChild working with the Windows MPM.
6329 *) Make generic hooks to work, with mod_generic_hook_import/export
6330 experimental modules. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe]
6332 *) Fix segfaults for configuration file syntax errors such as
6333 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directory" and
6334 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directoryz>". [Jeff Trawick]
6336 *) Cleanup the --enable-layout option of configure. This makes
6337 us use a consistent location for the config.layout file, and it
6338 makes configure more portable.
6339 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
6341 *) Changes to 'ab'; fixed int overrun's, added statistics, output in
6342 csv/gnuplot format, rudimentary ssl support and various other tweaks
6343 to make results more true to what is measured. The upshot of this it
6344 turns out that 'ab' has often underreported the true performance of
6345 apache. Often by a order of magnitude :-) See talk/paper of Sander
6346 Temme at April ApacheCon 2001 for details.
6347 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
6349 *) Clean up mod_cgid's temporary request pool. Besides fixing a
6350 storage leak this ensures that some unnecessary pipes are closed.
6353 *) Performance: Add quick_handler hook. This hook is called at the
6354 very beginning of the request processing before location_walk,
6355 translate_name, etc. This hook is useful for URI keyed content
6356 caches like Mike Abbott's Quick Shortcut Cache.
6359 *) top_module global variable renamed to ap_top_module [Perl]
6361 *) Move ap_set_last_modified to the core. This is a potentially
6362 controversial change, because this is kind of HTTP specific. However
6363 many protocols should be able to take advantage of this kind of
6364 information. I expect that headers will need one more layer of
6365 indirection for multi-protocol work, but this is a small step in
6366 the right direction. [Ryan Bloom]
6368 *) Enable mod_status by default. This matches what Apache 1.3 does.
6371 *) Add a ScriptSock directive to the default config file. This is
6372 only enabled when mod_cgid is used.
6373 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
6375 Changes with Apache 2.0.15
6377 *) Untangled the buildconf script and eliminated the need for build's
6378 aclocal.m4, generated_lists, build.mk, build2.mk, and a host of other
6379 libtool muck that is now under srclib/apr/build. [Roy Fielding]
6381 *) Win32: Don't accept more connections than we have worker threads
6385 *) Fix bug in the Unix threaded.c MPM that allowed child processes
6386 to fork() new child processes.
6389 *) SECURITY: Fix a major security problem with double-reverse lookup
6390 checking. Previously, a client connecting over IPv4 would not be
6391 matched properly when the server had an IPv6 listening socket.
6392 PR #7407 [Taketo Kabe <kiabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
6394 *) Change the way the beos MPM handles polling to allow it to stop and
6395 restart. Problem was the sockets being polled were being reset by
6396 the select call, so once it had accepted a connection it was no
6397 longer listening on the UDP socket we use for shutdown instructions.
6398 APR needs to be altered, patch on it's way. [David Reid]
6400 *) Empty out the brigade shared by ap_getline()/ap_get_client_block()
6401 on error exit from ap_getline(). Some other code got upset because
6402 the wrong data was in the brigade. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6404 *) Handle ap_discard_request_body() being called more than once.
6405 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6407 *) Get rid of an inadvertent close of file descriptor 2 in
6408 mod_mime_magic. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6410 *) Add a hook, create_request. This hook allows modules to modify
6411 a request while it is being created. This hook is called for all
6412 request_rec's, main request, sub request, and internal redirect.
6413 When this hook is called, the r->main, r->prev, r->next
6414 pointers have been set, so modules can determine what kind of
6415 request this is. [Ryan Bloom]
6417 *) Cleanup the build process a bit more. The Apache configure
6418 script no longer creates its own helper scripts, it just
6420 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
6422 *) Stop the forced downgrade of the connection to HTTP/1.0 for
6423 proxy requests. [Graham Leggett]
6425 *) Avoid using sscanf to determine the HTTP protocol number in
6426 the common case because sscanf is a performance hog. From
6427 Mike Abbot's Accelerating Apache patch number 6.
6428 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>, Bill Stoddard]
6430 *) SECURITY: Fix a security exposure in mod_access. Previously when
6431 IPv6 listening sockets were used, allow/deny-from-IPv4-address rules
6432 were not evaluated properly (PR #7407). Also, add the ability to
6433 specify IPv6 address strings with optional prefix length on Allow
6434 and Deny. [Jeff Trawick]
6436 *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and
6437 the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). (Brought
6438 forward from 1.3.) [Ken Coar]
6440 *) Reimplement the Windows MPM (mpm_winnt.c) to eliminate calling
6441 DuplicateHandle on an IOCompletionPort (a practice which
6442 MS "discourages"). The new model does not rely on associating
6443 the completion port with the listening sockets, thus the
6444 completion port can be completely managed within the child
6445 process. A dedicated thread accepts connections off the network,
6446 then calls PostQueuedCompletionStatus() to wake up worker
6447 threads blocked on the completion port.
6450 *) Bring forward the --suexec-umask option which allows the
6451 builder to preset the umask for suexec processes. [Ken Coar]
6453 *) Add a -V flag to suexec, which causes it to display the
6454 compile-time settings with which it was built. (Only
6455 usable by root or the AP_HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar]
6457 *) Mod_include should always unset the content-length if the file is
6458 going to be passed through send_parsed_content. There is no to
6459 determine if the content will change before actually scanning the
6460 entire content. It is far safer to just remove the C-L as long
6461 as we are scanning it. [Ryan Bloom]
6463 *) Make sure Apache sends WWW-Authenticate during a reverse proxy
6464 request and not Proxy-Authenticate.
6465 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
6467 Changes with Apache 2.0.14
6469 *) Fix content-length computation. We ONLY compute a content-length if
6470 We are not in a 1.1 request and we cannot chunk, and this is a keepalive
6471 or we already have all the data. [Ryan Bloom]
6473 *) Report unbounded containers in the config file. Previously, a typo
6474 in the </container> directive could result in the rest of the config
6475 file being silently ignored, with undesired defaults used.
6478 *) Make the old_write filter use the ap_f* functions for the buffering.
6481 *) Move more code from the http module into the core server. This
6482 is core code, basically the default handler, the default input
6483 and output filters, and all of the core configuration directives.
6484 All of this code is required in order for the server to work, with or
6485 without HTTP. The server is closer to working without the HTTP
6486 module, although there is still more to do. [Ryan Bloom]
6488 *) Fix a number of SGI compile warnings throughout the server. Fix some
6489 bad parameters to apr_bucket_read(). Fix a bad statement in
6490 ap_method_in_list(). For the mod_rewrite cache use apr_time_t
6491 consistently; we were mixing apr_time_t and time_t in invalid ways
6492 before. In load_file(), call apr_dso_error() instead of
6493 apr_strerror() so that we get a more specific string on some platforms.
6494 PR #6980 [Jeff Trawick]
6496 *) Allow modules to query the MPM about it's execution profile. This
6497 query API can and should be extended in the future, but for now,
6498 max_daemons, and threading or forking is a very good start.
6499 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
6501 *) Modify mod_include to send blocks of data no larger than 9k.
6502 Without this, mod_include will wait until the whole file is parsed,
6503 or the first tag is found to send any data to the client.
6504 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6506 *) Fix mod_info, so that <Directory> and <Location> directives are
6507 not displayed twice when displaying the current configuration.
6508 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
6510 *) Add config directives to override DEFAULT_ERROR_MSG and
6511 DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT. This was sent in as PR 6193.
6512 [Dan Rench <drench xnet.com>]
6514 *) Get mod_info building and loading on Win32. [William Rowe]
6516 *) Begin to move protocol independant functions out of mod_http. The goal
6517 is to have only functions that are HTTP specific in the http directory.
6520 Changes with Apache 2.0.13
6522 *) Don't assume that there will always be multiple calls to the byterange
6523 filter. It is possible that we will need to do byteranges with only
6524 one call to the filter. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
6526 *) Move the error_bucket definition from the http module to the
6527 core server. Every protocol will need this ability, not just
6530 Changes with Apache 2.0.12
6532 *) Modify mod_file_cache to save pre-formatted strings for
6533 content-length and last-modified headers for performance.
6534 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>]
6536 *) Namespace protect IOBUFSIZ since it is exposed in the API.
6537 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
6539 *) Use "Basic" authentication instead of "basic" in ab, as the spec
6540 says we should. [Andre Breiler <andre.breiler rd.bbc.co.uk>]
6542 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_userdir.c. We used to use the pw structure
6543 without ever filling it out. This fixes PR 7271.
6544 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp> and
6545 Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
6547 *) Add a couple of GCC attribute tags to printf style functions.
6548 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
6550 *) Add the correct language tag for interoperation with the Taiwanese
6551 versions of MSIE and Netscape. [Clive Lin <clive CirX.ORG>] PR#7142
6553 *) Migrate the perchild MPM to use the new apr signal child, and
6554 APR thread functions. [Ryan Bloom]
6556 *) Close one copy of the CGI's stdout before creating the new process.
6557 The CGI will still have stdout, because we have already dup'ed it.
6558 This keeps Apache from waiting forever to send the results of a CGI
6559 process that has forked a long-lived child process.
6560 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
6562 *) Remove the rest of the pthreads functions from the threaded MPM.
6563 This requires the APR support for a signal thread that was just
6566 *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser.
6567 Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much
6568 sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would
6569 either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the
6570 current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
6572 *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads.
6575 *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases.
6578 *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and
6579 "most". [Greg Stein]
6581 *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks.
6584 *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the
6585 fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and
6586 it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything.
6589 *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches
6590 the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation
6591 process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames).
6594 *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter
6595 is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom]
6597 Changes with Apache 2.0.11
6599 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the
6600 added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no
6601 uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter.
6604 *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom]
6606 *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM.
6607 If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add
6608 --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom]
6610 *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so
6611 that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself.
6614 *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been
6615 installed to the system include files.
6616 [Gomez Henri <new-httpd slib.fr>]
6618 *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need
6619 to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but
6620 configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom]
6622 *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is
6623 vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build
6626 *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this
6627 on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want
6628 to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
6630 *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a
6631 request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard]
6633 *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and
6634 SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set
6635 directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives
6636 tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom]
6638 *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_*
6639 functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute
6640 the length of the headers before we actually create the header
6641 buffer. [Ryan Bloom]
6643 *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have
6644 become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*.
6647 *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going
6648 to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to
6649 kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be
6650 static. [Ryan Bloom]
6652 *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not
6653 possible to compile some modules outside of the server.
6656 *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch
6657 forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex
6658 aliases. [Ryan Bloom]
6660 *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary
6661 hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If
6662 we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back
6663 up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send
6664 the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request,
6665 to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already
6666 received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than
6667 the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This
6668 fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data
6669 with that request. [Ryan Bloom]
6671 *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and
6672 thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom]
6674 *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This
6675 should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to
6676 create CGI processes.
6677 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6679 *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket
6680 call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been
6681 reset. [Jeff Trawick]
6683 *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h.
6684 This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release
6685 system. [Ryan Bloom]
6687 *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in
6688 the ability to use IPC other than shared memory.
6689 Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard]
6691 *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork,
6692 mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom]
6694 *) Correct a typo in httpd.conf.
6695 [Kunihiro Tanaka <tanaka apache.or.jp>] PR#7154
6697 *) Really fix mod_rewrite map lookups this time. [Tony Finch]
6699 *) Get the correct IP address if ServerName isn't set and we can't
6700 find a fully-qualified domain name at startup.
6701 PR#7170 [Danek Duvall <dduvall eng.sun.com>]
6703 *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom]
6705 *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some
6706 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now
6707 resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS
6708 volumes. [William Rowe]
6710 *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the
6711 behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported
6712 as USER_NAME="<unknown>" rather than the old user#000 result.
6713 WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe]
6715 *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new
6716 Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe]
6718 *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the
6719 environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure
6720 options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.
6723 *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like
6724 "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return
6725 a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big
6726 byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom]
6728 *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the
6729 bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these
6730 buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will
6731 just be ignored. [Greg Stein]
6733 *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart
6734 signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child
6735 process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If
6736 we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning
6737 up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom]
6739 *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful
6740 restarts. [Ryan Bloom]
6742 *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use
6743 the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from
6744 performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups
6745 and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields
6746 are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe]
6748 *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by
6749 optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending
6750 on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port
6751 for sample code. [Ben Laurie]
6753 *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done
6754 by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket.
6755 This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and
6756 a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed
6757 to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this
6758 bucket, and output the error text, and then return
6759 AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page
6760 has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom]
6762 *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for
6763 those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where
6764 error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though
6765 that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom]
6767 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
6768 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
6770 *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition
6771 and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy
6772 code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable.
6775 *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these
6776 directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled
6777 in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because
6778 we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order.
6781 *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of
6782 targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the
6783 configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is
6784 specifically run. [Ryan Bloom]
6786 *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts
6787 the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by
6788 parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe]
6790 *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code
6791 expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error.
6792 Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we
6793 follow the link. [William Rowe]
6795 *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to
6796 mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms,
6797 so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom]
6799 *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe,
6800 and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom]
6802 *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the
6803 current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail.
6806 *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or
6807 pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames]
6809 *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know
6810 for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0.
6811 This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0
6812 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
6814 *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite,
6815 i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of
6816 more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch]
6818 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing
6819 Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin <alexeyt wam.umd.edu>]
6821 *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting
6822 and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly.
6825 *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter().
6826 This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with
6827 requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick]
6829 *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via
6830 hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also,
6831 add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and
6832 NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but
6833 not used during the configuration process. Useful for
6834 flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski]
6836 *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or
6837 no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to
6838 specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH.
6839 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom]
6841 *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie]
6843 *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and
6844 apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the
6845 actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again.
6848 *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being
6849 traced. [Jeff Trawick]
6851 *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data.
6854 *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie]
6856 *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
6858 *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter
6859 program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick]
6861 *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an
6862 object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE
6863 was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would
6864 create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap()
6865 silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but
6866 ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick]
6868 *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem
6869 is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and
6870 we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the
6871 browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom]
6873 *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec
6874 because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't
6875 always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf
6878 *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct
6879 order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4,
6880 and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build
6881 process. [Ryan Bloom]
6883 *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process.
6884 This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process,
6885 thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do
6886 not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least
6887 it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom]
6889 *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line.
6892 *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
6893 the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
6895 *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
6896 need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files
6897 such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]
6899 *) Get the support programs building cleanly again.
6900 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
6902 *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The
6903 current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the
6904 server root from the Apache.exe path.
6906 *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so
6907 loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the
6908 makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories.
6910 *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6,
6911 Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the
6912 Listen, NameVirtualHost, and <VirtualHost> directives support IPv6
6913 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080").
6916 *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in
6917 modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but
6918 we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories
6919 are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom]
6921 *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom]
6923 *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of
6924 which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack
6925 for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the
6926 necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC
6927 was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make
6928 the scripts a bit easier.
6931 *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout
6932 on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick]
6934 *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and
6935 be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects
6936 that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules
6937 didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly.
6940 *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer
6941 available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick]
6943 *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
6945 *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts
6946 after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom]
6948 *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a
6949 content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to
6950 have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we
6951 can compute the content-length in the byterange filter.
6954 *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows.
6957 *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way
6958 they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been
6959 called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when
6960 the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool.
6963 Changes with Apache 2.0a9
6965 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users
6966 to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@
6967 and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories.
6970 *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with
6971 functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily.
6972 The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function
6973 combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include
6974 parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a
6975 hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes
6976 all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then
6977 responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back
6978 to mod_include for further processing.
6979 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6981 *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has
6982 fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed
6983 from the parameter list because all required information is available
6984 via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick]
6986 *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a
6987 normal source distribution with external install targets.
6990 *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create
6991 two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation.
6992 the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required
6993 for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one
6994 variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations,
6995 so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based
6996 on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment.
6997 It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two
6998 shmem memory blocks.
7001 *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of
7002 functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure
7003 time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file.
7004 Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those
7005 functions that are valid on the platform we are building on.
7008 *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config
7009 [Sander van Zoest <sander covalent.net>]
7011 *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration.
7014 *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not
7015 specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR).
7016 The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM
7017 files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases.
7020 *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that
7021 uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly.
7022 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
7024 *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when
7025 making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the
7026 output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore
7027 skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
7029 *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the
7030 format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in
7031 the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be
7032 used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with
7033 the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format
7034 of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick]
7036 *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the
7037 rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this
7038 condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
7040 *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter.
7043 Changes with Apache 2.0a8
7045 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with
7049 *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info
7050 field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file.
7053 *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers
7054 down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request
7055 record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready
7059 *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code,
7060 but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP)
7064 *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler.
7067 *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options.
7068 [B. W. Fitzpatrick <fitz red-bean.com>]
7070 *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname.
7071 Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing
7072 hostname resolution/address string parsing and building
7073 apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address
7074 of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change
7075 apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick]
7077 *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but
7078 I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon.
7081 *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we
7082 aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom]
7084 *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head
7085 request. [Ryan Bloom]
7087 *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias
7088 with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch]
7090 *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom]
7092 *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests.
7093 The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before
7094 we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we
7095 should send it in the HEAD response.
7098 *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based
7099 on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay
7100 deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the
7101 content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache
7102 our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute
7103 the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and
7104 everything will just work.
7107 *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available.
7108 [Markus Gyger <mgyger itr.ch>]
7110 *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this
7111 change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules
7113 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
7115 *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly.
7116 This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times
7117 for a simple static request.
7120 *) We are sending the content-type correctly now.
7121 [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]
7123 *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report
7124 a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers
7125 and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick]
7127 *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the
7128 hints file to determine which platforms define
7129 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
7132 *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick]
7134 *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko]
7136 *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache
7137 used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate,
7138 but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will
7139 as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid
7140 value on all platforms.
7141 [Branko Čibej <brane xbc.nu>]
7143 *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824.
7144 [Shuichi Kitaguchi <ki hh.iij4u.or.jp>]
7146 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
7147 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
7149 *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes
7150 sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the
7151 default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs.
7154 *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain
7155 in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well.
7158 *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This
7159 has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could
7160 doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches
7161 the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes
7162 a content-length in the response, and this does not.
7165 *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate
7166 on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make
7167 any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes,
7168 so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written.
7171 *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not.
7172 The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report
7173 the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies
7174 content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing
7175 code in mod_log_config.c
7178 *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what
7179 it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since
7180 neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was
7181 really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better
7182 by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH
7183 buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data
7184 read, so they make more sense.
7187 *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a
7188 request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it
7189 makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request
7190 responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap
7191 buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This
7192 allows the mmap to outlive the request.
7195 *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for
7196 sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should
7197 have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should
7198 ALWAYS be able to return something immediately.
7201 *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the
7202 server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart
7203 instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling]
7205 *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on
7206 the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe]
7208 *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in
7209 such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r".
7212 *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0:
7213 CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol.
7216 *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
7217 status at the end of the response as follows:
7218 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed.
7219 '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server.
7220 '-' - connection will be closed by the server.
7223 *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded
7224 Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type
7225 from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the feature
7226 macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe]
7228 *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for
7229 the response when no content length is available and we can't use
7230 chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick]
7232 *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK,
7233 so that content input filters get dechunked data when using
7234 the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS.
7237 *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows
7238 the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently,
7239 only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick]
7241 *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol
7242 data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick]
7244 *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of
7245 the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this
7246 type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef
7247 CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick]
7249 *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will
7250 send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside
7251 buckets that include partial buckets.
7252 [Ryan Bloom and David Reid]
7254 *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula]
7256 *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using
7257 BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it
7258 doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on.
7261 *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to
7262 the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that
7263 actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need
7264 for the BUFF to send headers.
7267 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of
7268 request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest()
7269 since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated)
7270 response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at
7271 all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.)
7274 *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter
7275 (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter.
7278 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
7279 of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp home.net>,
7282 *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h
7285 *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering.
7288 *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at
7289 least now we can serve an SHTML page again.
7292 *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer
7293 to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that
7294 want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket,
7295 can. They point to the same place.
7298 *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld.
7299 [Tomas Ögren <stric ing.umu.se>]
7301 *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the
7302 associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this
7303 logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs.
7306 *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was
7307 no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning
7308 APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by
7309 making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets.
7310 If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we
7311 return the buf, otherwise we return NULL.
7314 *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series.
7317 *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix:
7318 rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded
7319 so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc.
7320 PR #6671 [Tony Finch]
7322 *) SECURITY: Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a
7323 security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations
7324 that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files
7325 on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch]
7327 *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out
7328 of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then
7329 the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the
7333 *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters
7334 should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way
7335 to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket,
7336 that's life, but at least we can try with this.
7339 *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the
7340 EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output
7341 filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub
7342 requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished.
7345 *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also
7346 makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it
7347 used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its
7348 return value anyway.
7349 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
7351 *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets
7352 structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the
7353 bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type.
7356 *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols
7357 for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper)
7358 and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE.
7359 All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear.
7362 *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename
7363 parsing of <Directory> blocks under Win32 and OS2.
7364 [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
7366 *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been
7367 replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket
7368 types and use then use those buckets.
7371 *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write)
7372 once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process;
7373 otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies
7374 worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large
7375 ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick]
7377 *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type.
7378 This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off
7379 the data pointer in the ap_bucket type.
7382 *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data
7383 to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive
7384 number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and
7385 let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line
7386 only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data.
7388 Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows
7389 us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which
7393 *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter
7394 understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is
7395 based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers,
7396 and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are
7397 in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining
7398 bytes. It can return less, but never more.
7399 [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick]
7401 *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what
7402 the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick]
7404 *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters
7405 ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection
7406 go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the
7410 *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial
7411 send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to
7412 get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial
7413 writes to the network.
7416 *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again
7417 [Victor J. Orlikowski <v.j.orlikowski gte.net>]
7419 *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored
7420 if there are no headers to send.
7423 *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core
7424 filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary
7425 compiled on Windows NT.
7428 Changes with Apache 2.0a7
7430 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades
7431 across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be
7432 sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE
7433 thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received.
7436 *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes
7437 into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the
7438 chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current
7439 implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the
7440 chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that
7441 containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The
7442 buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket.
7445 *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter.
7448 *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter.
7451 *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS
7452 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
7454 *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't
7455 make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now.
7458 *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that
7459 do not have sendfile.
7460 [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard]
7462 *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so
7463 that it works again. [Ryan Bloom]
7465 *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile().
7468 *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support.
7471 *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands
7472 the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The
7473 goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing
7474 the data back to the other filters.
7477 *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation
7480 *) install apxs if it is created
7483 *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error
7484 conversions. [William Rowe]
7486 *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to
7487 ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick]
7489 *) Multiple build and configuration fixes
7492 -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions
7494 -fix logfilename misspelling
7495 -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and
7496 -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile
7500 -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for
7501 $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing
7502 -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib
7503 -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's
7504 -cache result for "struct rlimit"
7505 -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler
7506 and use the native version to generate header file
7507 [Rüdiger Kuhlmann <Tadu gmx.de>]
7509 *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross-
7511 [Rüdiger Kuhlmann <Tadu gmx.de>]
7513 *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header
7514 lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
7515 message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input
7517 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
7519 *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even
7520 if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a
7521 requirement for APXS to work correctly.
7524 *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the
7525 conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the
7526 output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the
7527 post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an
7528 error page before we have a filter to write to the network.
7529 [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames]
7531 *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An
7532 mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with
7533 byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of
7534 the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket.
7537 *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi.
7540 *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32.
7541 Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support
7542 for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB),
7543 and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and
7544 prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still
7545 discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and
7546 async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are
7547 logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls.
7550 *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input
7551 filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest
7552 difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade
7553 should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is
7554 different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in,
7555 and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call
7556 ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input
7557 is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this
7558 function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade.
7559 The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return.
7562 *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system
7563 falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform.
7566 *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5,
7567 SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a
7568 bit more flexible. [William Rowe]
7570 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content
7571 translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores
7572 subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for
7573 translating request and response bodies was removed.
7576 *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request
7577 hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in
7578 multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much
7579 simpler. [Ryan Bloom]
7581 *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0913 (cve.mitre.org)
7582 Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of
7583 mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that
7584 contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences
7585 $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to
7586 access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch]
7588 *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing
7589 don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because
7590 the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames]
7592 *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid.
7593 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
7595 *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2)
7596 as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds.
7597 update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment.
7598 Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from
7599 parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the
7600 seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support.
7603 *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32.
7606 *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An
7607 uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config().
7610 *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for
7611 in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly
7612 find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source
7613 with no problems. [David Reid]
7615 *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying
7616 the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong
7617 location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and
7618 also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would
7619 sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick]
7621 *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence
7622 like this in the config file
7624 <IfModule mod_kilroy.c>
7627 <IfModule mod_lovejoy.c>
7632 the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to
7633 sediment in the buffer from reading the prior </IfModule> and an
7634 error message would be generated for the real </IfModule> for the
7635 second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters
7636 could be used for "</" in the close of a container.
7639 *) ap_add_filter prototype changed to remove the ctx pointer. The
7640 pointer still remains in the filter structure, but it can not be
7641 a part of the ap_add_filter prototype. The reason is that when
7642 the core uses AddFilter to add a filter to the stack it doesn't
7643 know how to allocate the ctx pointer, or even how much memory should
7644 be allocated. The filters will have to be responsible for allocating
7645 the ctx memory when they need it.
7648 *) Add an AddFilter directive. This directive takes a list of filters
7649 that should be activated for the requested resource.
7652 *) apr_snprintf(): Get quad format strings working on OS/390 (and perhaps
7653 some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
7655 *) Modify mod_include to be a filter. Currently, it has only been tested
7656 on actual files, but it should work for CGI scripts too.
7659 *) apr_putc(), apr_puts() for Unix: handle buffered files and interrupted
7660 writes. apr_flush() for Unix: handle interrupted writes.
7663 *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of
7664 an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based
7665 virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in
7666 the configuration file and which ignores the local address
7667 of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch]
7669 *) Fix some compile warnings in mod_mmap_static.c
7670 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
7672 *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that
7673 the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an
7674 EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it
7675 encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we
7676 finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one
7677 EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec.
7680 *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix
7681 and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via
7682 apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick]
7684 *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe
7685 bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*.
7688 *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable.
7689 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
7691 *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache
7692 code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs.
7695 *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c
7696 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
7698 *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive.
7699 PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama imgsrc.co.jp>]
7701 *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test
7702 explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit()
7703 is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support
7704 the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski]
7706 *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific
7707 platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain)
7708 all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski]
7710 *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary
7713 *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR.
7716 *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite.
7719 *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom]
7721 *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that
7722 they can be more directly used when changing the type of a
7723 bucket in place. [Tony Finch]
7725 *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by
7726 buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change
7727 the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of
7728 buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets.
7729 Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be
7730 mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented.
7733 Changes with Apache 2.0a6
7735 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames]
7737 *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer
7738 to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom]
7740 *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter
7741 added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom]
7743 *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The
7744 docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom]
7746 *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades,
7747 Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that
7748 should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the
7749 core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group]
7751 *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't
7752 built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick]
7754 *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's
7755 no layout definition file. [Ken Coar]
7757 *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar]
7759 *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header
7760 field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the
7761 list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar]
7763 *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file().
7764 [Rob Simonson <simo us.ibm.com>]
7766 *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke
7767 APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick]
7769 *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the
7770 configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container,
7771 only the last statement in the container would be retained.
7774 Changes with Apache 2.0a5
7776 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child
7777 processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I
7778 have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had
7779 different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses.
7780 This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket.
7783 *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages.
7784 It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we
7785 are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix
7786 Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom]
7788 *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix.
7789 #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat
7792 *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always
7793 return the right information on the local socket address.
7794 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
7796 *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error.
7797 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
7799 *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without
7800 going into single process mode. This allows for much easier
7801 debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom]
7803 *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function.
7806 *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the
7807 scoreboard on graceful restarts.
7810 *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c.
7811 An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process().
7814 *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still
7815 never called, but this is a step in the right direction.
7816 [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
7818 *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is
7819 killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets
7820 SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the
7821 process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and
7822 mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
7824 *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time
7825 in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format.
7826 Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time
7827 uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP
7828 spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes
7829 the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom]
7831 *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error
7832 code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
7834 *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet]
7836 *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in
7837 logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles
7838 not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe]
7840 *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create
7841 apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom]
7843 *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure
7844 to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a
7845 related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using
7846 fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock()
7847 implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock()
7848 was essentially a no-op because all children were using different
7849 locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick]
7851 *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into
7852 a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on
7853 end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar]
7855 *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This
7856 adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional
7857 XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein]
7859 *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes
7862 *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from
7863 the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein]
7865 *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR
7866 configure.in. [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
7868 *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for
7869 machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile.
7870 [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
7872 *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
7874 *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the
7875 desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving
7876 ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
7878 *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate
7879 with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without
7880 timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to
7881 a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with
7882 Unix non-blocking pipes.
7885 *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to
7886 cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables
7887 Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at
7888 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps
7889 and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system).
7892 *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache
7893 supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as
7894 mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive
7895 to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems
7896 that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today
7897 on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix.
7900 *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the
7901 configuration process automatically:
7902 inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing
7903 APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl
7905 Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid,
7906 based on the threading model
7908 Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's
7909 configuration processing, allowing for more information flow
7914 *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK
7915 with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and
7916 OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick]
7918 *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write
7919 operations work a whole lot better on buffered files.
7922 *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change
7923 compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads).
7926 *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps
7927 reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is
7928 now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated.
7929 ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick]
7931 *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
7932 can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified
7933 domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
7934 the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the
7935 ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe]
7937 *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault
7938 at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to
7939 be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick]
7941 *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding]
7943 *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX
7944 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
7946 *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h,
7947 apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h.
7948 [Tyler J. Brooks <tylerjbrooks home.com>, Jeff Trawick]
7950 *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working
7951 state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on
7954 *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in
7955 maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise
7956 unions. [Ben Laurie]
7958 *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to
7959 repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered
7960 ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick]
7962 *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly
7963 in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker.
7966 *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error:
7967 "</container> without matching <container> section", where
7968 container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever.
7971 *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-1204 (cve.mitre.org)
7972 Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when
7973 using mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root
7974 and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi
7975 as reported in <news:960999105.344321 ernani.logica.co.uk>
7978 *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE)
7981 *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the
7982 final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles
7983 incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick]
7985 *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure
7986 that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and
7987 such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet]
7989 *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting
7990 up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket.
7993 *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches
7994 to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes)
7995 instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick]
7997 *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex.
7998 It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now
7999 displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the
8000 symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick]
8002 *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence.
8003 The previous check required features not used by Apache.
8006 *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were
8007 sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not
8008 initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed
8009 accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call
8010 if the len was negative. Use <sys/un.h> for struct sockaddr_un
8011 instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem
8012 on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick]
8014 *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
8016 *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
8018 *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames]
8020 *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at
8021 initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom
8022 otherwise. [Jeff Trawick]
8024 *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash
8025 doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does.
8026 Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator =="
8029 *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM.
8030 All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is
8031 now wrapped within the WinNT MPM.
8034 *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some
8035 getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls.
8036 CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick]
8038 *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change
8039 to allow just the product name in the server string using
8043 Changes with Apache 2.0a4
8045 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers
8046 won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
8048 *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config
8049 tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks
8050 and know that they will be called at an appropriate time.
8053 *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again.
8056 *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules.
8059 *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have
8060 ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file.
8063 *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config
8064 files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick]
8066 *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t-
8067 related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem
8068 is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful
8069 restarts. [Ronald Tschalär]
8071 *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling.
8072 Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there
8073 would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure
8074 procedure. [Jeff Trawick]
8076 *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog
8077 isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via
8078 ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer
8079 to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
8081 *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines.
8084 *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or
8085 global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it
8086 to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency.
8089 *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD()
8090 and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals.
8093 *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers.
8094 [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser <KEIJSERJJ logica.com>]
8096 *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation.
8099 *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record
8100 on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar]
8102 *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the
8106 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not
8107 a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick]
8109 *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that
8110 the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet.
8113 *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int
8114 instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding]
8116 *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a
8117 structure rather than the pid within the structure.
8118 [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]
8120 *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in
8121 err_response; support reading headers up to 2K.
8122 [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask valueclick.com>]
8124 *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior
8125 alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
8126 config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite.
8127 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
8129 *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
8131 *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use
8132 APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables
8133 in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick]
8135 *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing.
8138 *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically
8139 if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is
8140 read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This
8141 should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the
8142 server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives
8143 that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should
8144 be made in the pre-config step.
8147 *) Add mod_example to the build system.
8150 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single-
8151 byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick]
8153 *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin
8154 Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log).
8157 *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the
8158 IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string
8159 properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the
8160 would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a
8161 properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick]
8163 *) apxs works in 2.0.
8166 *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0.
8169 *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for
8170 replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache.
8173 *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems
8174 generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a
8175 buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam
8176 is defined). [Ken Coar]
8178 *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure
8179 options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options]
8182 *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of
8183 these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/
8184 WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick]
8186 *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0
8189 *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR.
8192 *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are
8196 *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken.
8197 Patch submitted to author.
8200 *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require
8201 /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously)
8204 *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD
8205 [Sascha Schumann] PR#26
8207 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in
8208 struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only
8209 affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during
8210 pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at
8211 least). [Jeff Trawick]
8213 *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix
8215 [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39
8217 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems
8218 like OS/390 and UnixWare.
8221 *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms.
8224 *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror()
8225 (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in
8226 the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit
8227 out the correct error message for it.
8230 Changes with Apache 2.0a3
8232 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails
8235 *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix
8238 *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock.
8239 [Tim Costello <timcostello ozemail.com.au>]
8241 *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes.
8242 [Chia-liang Kao <clkao CirX.ORG>]
8244 *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using
8248 *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built
8251 *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow
8252 developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also
8253 changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name.
8256 *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames
8257 containing version numbers. [Martin Pool]
8259 *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on
8260 Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non-
8261 Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick]
8263 *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h.
8264 Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE.
8265 [William Rowe, Roy Fielding]
8267 *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows
8268 build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it
8269 actually works. [Bill Stoddard]
8271 *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and
8272 Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file
8273 os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent
8274 dll relocation at start-up).
8275 [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard]
8277 *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most
8278 of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros.
8281 *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different
8282 character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv().
8285 *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.
8286 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
8288 *) CGI output is being timed out now.
8291 *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which
8292 is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file
8293 with the same lifetime as the original file.
8296 *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying
8297 module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults
8298 in the field. [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8300 *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document
8301 describing how to compile Apache on Windows.
8302 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8304 *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take
8305 microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other
8306 minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
8308 *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0
8309 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8311 *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0
8312 quick change summary:
8313 - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR
8314 - now uses ap_time_t
8315 - compiles and runs on linux
8317 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
8319 *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names
8320 fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an
8321 unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the
8322 CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started
8324 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8326 *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may
8327 not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This
8328 is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls
8329 to non portable functions should be protected with
8330 ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults.
8331 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8333 *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer]
8335 *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick]
8337 *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
8338 This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
8339 CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
8341 *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly
8342 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8344 *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to
8345 always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the
8346 OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx
8349 The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to
8350 handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for
8351 Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then
8352 we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.
8353 [Tim Costello <Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
8355 *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT
8356 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
8358 *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support
8359 Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and
8360 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.
8361 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
8363 *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform
8365 [<Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
8367 *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions.
8370 *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site.
8371 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
8373 *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
8376 *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
8377 Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
8378 at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
8379 of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
8380 [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]
8382 *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.
8383 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
8385 *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the
8386 corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the
8387 proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
8389 Changes with Apache 2.0a2
8391 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
8395 *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
8396 small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
8397 users and groups. [David Reid]
8399 *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
8400 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
8402 *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
8403 is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
8405 *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
8406 When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
8407 no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
8408 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
8410 *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
8411 if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
8413 *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
8414 locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
8417 *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
8418 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8420 *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
8421 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
8423 *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
8424 interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
8426 *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
8427 up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
8431 *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
8432 now logged correctly on BeOS.
8435 *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
8436 Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
8438 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>, Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
8440 *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
8441 shell path resolution.
8442 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>] PR#3715
8444 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
8446 [Allen Prescott <allen clanprescott.com>]
8448 *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
8449 flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
8451 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
8453 *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
8454 which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
8455 confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
8456 rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
8457 explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
8458 ones to the example config [dirkx]
8460 *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
8461 configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
8464 *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
8465 including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
8467 *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
8468 config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
8469 it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
8470 expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
8471 by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
8472 to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
8473 can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
8474 usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
8475 hampers fancier hacks.
8476 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
8478 *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
8479 supports the asymetric
8481 ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
8483 Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
8484 has either the following syntaxes
8486 ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
8487 ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
8488 ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
8490 The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
8491 is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
8492 or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
8493 is assumed to be a message.
8495 This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
8496 of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
8497 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
8499 *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
8500 syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
8501 only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
8502 absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
8503 breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
8505 *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
8506 done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
8507 as static modules at this point.
8510 Changes with Apache 2.0a1
8512 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
8513 Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
8514 create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
8515 to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
8516 ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
8517 rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...
8518 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
8520 *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
8521 [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
8523 *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
8527 *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
8528 Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
8529 Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
8530 passed in and number of bytes written.
8533 *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
8534 with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
8535 the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
8538 *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
8539 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
8541 *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
8542 bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
8543 some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
8544 errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
8545 chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
8548 *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
8549 [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
8551 *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
8553 *) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security
8554 problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
8555 or mod_vhost_alias).
8556 [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
8558 *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
8559 [Manoj Kasichainula]
8561 *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
8562 message without any of the date and time information. As a part
8563 of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
8564 and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
8565 writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
8566 stderr to the error log on all platforms.
8569 *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
8570 This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
8571 don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
8572 message on all of our platforms.
8575 *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
8576 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
8578 *) sendfile has been added to APR.
8579 [John Zedlewski <zedlwski Princeton.EDU>]
8581 *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
8582 [Manoj Kasichainula]
8584 *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
8585 interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
8587 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0
8588 [Dilip Khandekar <dilip cup.hp.com>]
8590 *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11
8591 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8593 *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
8594 automatically for developers from src/Configure.
8595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8597 *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
8598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8600 *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
8601 to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
8604 *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
8606 *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
8607 incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
8609 *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check
8610 for a wildcard handler. [Dirk <dirkm teleport.com>, Roy Fielding]
8611 PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807
8613 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
8614 allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
8615 ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
8616 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8618 *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
8620 Changes with Apache MPM
8622 *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
8623 dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
8626 *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
8629 *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility
8630 (per default used the config.option file).
8631 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8633 *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
8635 *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
8636 Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
8637 implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
8638 be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
8639 calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
8642 *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
8643 subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
8644 of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
8646 *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
8647 mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
8649 *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
8650 amongst the unix MPMs.
8652 *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
8653 signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
8655 *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
8656 of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
8658 *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
8660 *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
8661 based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
8663 *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
8664 ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase midcoast.com.au>]
8666 *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
8668 *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
8669 changes to the module API... better described by
8670 docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
8672 Changes with Apache pthreads
8674 *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
8675 buff operations (generally over a network).
8676 [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
8678 *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
8679 init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
8680 stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
8682 *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.
8683 [James Morris <jmorris intercode.com.au>]
8685 *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
8686 request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
8688 *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
8689 needed in a threaded server.
8691 *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
8692 [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
8695 Changes with Apache 1.3.9
8697 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
8698 Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
8699 was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
8701 *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
8702 explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
8705 *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
8706 than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
8709 *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
8710 Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
8711 Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
8712 and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
8714 *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
8715 just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
8717 *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
8718 in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
8719 correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
8720 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8722 *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
8723 an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
8724 is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
8726 *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
8727 problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
8728 output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
8730 *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
8731 routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
8732 pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
8733 like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
8734 The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
8735 now but deprecated. [dirkx]
8737 *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
8738 represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
8739 files. [Roy Fielding]
8741 *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
8742 checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
8744 *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
8746 *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
8747 assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
8748 exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
8750 *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
8751 src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
8753 *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
8754 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8756 *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
8757 searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
8758 some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
8760 *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
8761 module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
8762 usual conventions for the installation procedure).
8763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8765 *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
8766 for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
8768 *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
8769 types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
8770 by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
8772 Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
8774 *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
8775 response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
8776 long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
8777 [Tom Vaughan <tvaughan aventail.com>, Roy Fielding]
8779 *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
8780 [Ian Turner <iant sequent.com>] PR#4735
8782 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
8783 name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
8785 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
8786 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>]
8788 *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
8789 up across restarts. [David Harris <dharris drh.net>]
8791 *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
8792 properly in mod_access.
8793 ["Paul J. Reder" <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#4770
8795 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
8796 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>] PR#3874
8798 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
8799 [Michael Ottati <michael.ottati compaq.com>, dirkx]
8801 *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
8802 Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
8803 Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
8804 ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
8805 couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
8806 function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
8807 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong <clintdw netcom.com>]
8809 *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
8810 with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
8811 [David McCreedy <McCreedy us.ibm.com>]
8813 *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
8814 Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
8815 we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
8817 *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
8818 a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
8819 NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
8821 Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
8823 *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
8824 the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
8825 are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
8826 "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
8827 single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
8828 one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
8829 at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
8831 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
8833 *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
8834 least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
8837 *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
8838 immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
8839 This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
8840 call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
8841 the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
8842 are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
8844 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
8846 *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
8847 and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
8848 discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
8849 [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton <jeo101 york.ac.uk>] PR#4499, PR#3806
8851 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
8852 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
8854 *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
8855 built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
8856 install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
8857 editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
8858 create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
8859 used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
8861 *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
8862 ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
8863 WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
8864 Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
8865 Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
8866 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
8868 *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
8869 error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
8870 behave more like Unix.
8871 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
8873 *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
8874 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
8876 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
8877 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
8879 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
8880 "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
8881 [Brian Havard] PR#4505
8883 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
8884 [Randy Terbush <randy covalent.net>]
8886 *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
8887 used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch <fanf demon.net>]
8889 *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
8890 command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8892 *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX
8893 [Rasmus Lerdorf <rasmus raleigh.ibm.com>]
8895 *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
8896 first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
8897 see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
8898 message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
8899 does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
8900 the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
8901 the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
8902 line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
8903 DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
8906 *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
8907 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
8908 [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
8910 *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
8911 Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
8912 listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
8913 could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
8914 All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
8915 the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
8916 MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
8917 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
8919 *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
8920 the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
8921 parent/child process management code.
8922 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
8924 *) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files.
8925 [John Giannandrea <jg meer.net>] PR#4122
8927 *) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which
8928 has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528
8929 [Henri Gomez <gomez slib.fr>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8931 *) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already
8932 use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8934 *) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:.
8937 *) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well
8938 as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar]
8940 *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
8941 content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
8943 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
8944 never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
8945 attacks. [Koen Holtman <Koen.Holtman cern.ch>]
8947 *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
8948 results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
8950 *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
8951 the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
8952 *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
8953 provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
8954 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
8956 *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
8957 size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
8958 (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
8959 to the man page. [Ken Coar]
8961 *) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in
8962 an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko]
8964 *) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured
8965 during configuration after a restart.
8966 [Aidan Cully <aidan panix.com>] PR#4456
8968 *) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather
8969 than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and
8970 the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both
8971 tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message
8972 if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar]
8974 *) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy
8975 of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]
8977 *) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function
8978 ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex
8979 library. [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum helios.de>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8981 *) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that
8982 environment variables can be set according to the protocol version
8983 (e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar]

9000 *) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and
9001 HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on
9002 "/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req*
9003 routines will deal with the access issues. (It's now possible to
9004 have {site|group|project|customer|...} wide readmes and headers.)

9015 handful of problems seen with mod_perl <Perl> configuration sections
9016 [Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog msg.com.mx>]
9018 *) Mac OS and Mac OS X Server now use the appropriate custom layout
9019 by default when building with APACI; allow for platform-specific
9020 variable defaults in configure. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9022 *) Do setgid() before initgroups() in http_main; some platforms
9023 zap the grouplist when setgid() is called. This was fixed in
9024 suexec earlier, but the main httpd code missed the change.

9040 being newer than Configuration so that it is less likely to fail
9041 when using APACI and shadow sources. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9043 *) PORT: Add initial support for Mac OS (versions 10.0 and
9044 greater). Use Mac OS X Server layout for now. Clean up dyld code
9045 in unix/os.c, and don't install the dyld error handlers, which
9046 are no longer needed in Mac OS. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9048 *) Rename Rhapsody layout to "Mac OS X Server". Change install
9049 locations to appropriate ones for user-built (as opposed to
9050 system) installs. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9052 *) Modify mod_autoindex's handling of AddDescription so that the
9053 behaviour matches the documentation. [Ken Coar] PR#1898, 3072.
9055 *) Add functionality to the install-bindist.sh script created by
9056 binbuild.sh to use tar when copying distribution files to the
9057 serverroot. This allows upgrading an existing installation
9058 without nesting the new distribution in the old.
9060 install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install
9061 apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter.
9063 Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files
9064 for apxs and dbmmanage to bindist to allow these scripts to
9065 be properly installed relative to the destination serverroot.

9093 value of the DirectoryIndex directive is a single dot. Also likely
9094 to happen for anyother values of DirectoryIndex that will map back

9178 *) Make {Set,Unset,Pass}Env per-directory instead of per-server.
9181 *) Correct an apparent typo: on the Windows and MPE platforms, the
9182 htpasswd utility was limiting passwords to only 8 characters.
9185 *) EBCDIC platforms: David submitted patches for two bugs in the
9186 MD5 digest port for EBCDIC machines:
9187 a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file
9188 b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong
9189 when the returned file was not converted from EBCDIC, but was a
9190 binary (e.g., image file) in the first place.
9191 [David McCreedy <mccreedy us.ibm.com>]
9193 *) support/htpasswd now permits the password to be specified on the
9194 command line with the '-b' switch. This is useful when passwords
9195 need to be maintained by scripts -- particularly in the Win32
9196 environment. [Ken Coar]
9198 *) Win32: Win32 multiple services patch. Added capability to install and
9199 run multiple copies of apache as individual services.
9202 apache -n apache1 -i -f c:/httpd.conf
9203 Installs apache as service 'apache1' and associates c:/httpd.conf
9206 Starts apache1 service.

9229 mismatches were causing compilation problems with gcc -pedantic and
9230 in the TPF cross-compilation. [Ken Coar]
9232 *) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving
9233 a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
9235 *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
9236 a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
9237 ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
9238 This allows for special configurations like
9239 <Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
9240 DefaultType gargle/blurb
9242 Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
9243 when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
9244 Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
9245 files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
9246 The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
9247 much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
9250 *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
9251 for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
9252 the permissions on the proxycachedir.
9253 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9255 *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first
9256 check wether it actually needs to collect garbage. This reduces
9257 the number of fork()s from one/request to just the odd one an hour.
9258 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

9283 *) Removed new PassAllEnv code due to DSO problems. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9285 Changes with Apache 1.3.5 [not released]
9287 *) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown
9288 methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821
9290 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
9291 to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
9293 *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
9294 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced
9295 incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now
9296 work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
9297 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>] PR#3411
9299 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
9300 the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system
9301 DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration
9302 directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton]
9303 PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988

9307 the Apache service on NT. [Paul Sutton] PR#3741
9309 *) WIN32: Apache.exe now contains an icon. [Paul Sutton]
9311 *) PORT: Switch back to using fcntl() locking on Linux -- instabilities
9312 have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel
9313 version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531
9315 *) Using APACI, the main config file (usually httpd.conf) was
9316 not being adjusted as $(TARGET).conf. [Wilfredo Sanchez

9326 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
9327 for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
9329 *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
9330 because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
9331 Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
9332 third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban epfl.ch>] PR#3977
9334 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the
9335 DSO/DLL section because it's a directive from mod_status and isn't
9336 available before the DLL of mod_status is loaded.

9351 *) Let APACI's configure script correctly complain for unknown --enable-XXX
9352 and --disable-XXX options. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3958
9354 *) Link the shared core bootstrap program (``Rule SHARED_CORE=yes'') also
9355 against libap.a and use its ap_snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid
9356 possible buffer overflows. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9358 *) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init().
9359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9361 *) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout.
9364 *) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order
9365 to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9367 *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
9368 the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9370 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
9371 (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
9372 correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
9373 Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
9374 analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
9376 *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
9377 DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
9378 Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
9379 Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
9380 instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
9381 the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
9382 The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
9384 [Michael van Elst <mlelstv serpens.swb.de>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160
9386 *) Added ap_sub_req_method_uri() for doing a subrequest with a method
9387 other than GET, and const'd the definition of method in request_rec.
9390 *) Use proper pid_t type for saving PIDs in alloc.c. [John Bley]
9392 *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate
9393 when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard]
9395 *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the
9396 UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of
9397 %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
9399 *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce
9400 more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
9402 *) Fixed a few compiler nits. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>]
9404 *) Added informative error messages for failed munmap() and fseek() calls
9405 in http_core.c. [John Bley, Roy Fielding]
9407 *) Added some informative error messages for some failed malloc()
9408 calls. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>, Jim Jagielski]
9410 *) OS/2 ap_os_canonical_filename()'s behaviour is improved: ap_assert()
9411 is removed. This allows <Directory proxy:*> directives to work and
9412 prevents invalid requests from killing the process.
9413 [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
9415 *) Reorganised FAQ document.
9416 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>] PR#2497
9418 *) src/support/: The ApacheBench benchmark program was overhauled by
9419 David N. Welton: you can now have it generate an HTML TABLE, presumably
9420 for integration into other HTML sources. David updated the ab man page
9421 as well and added some missing descriptions. Thanks!
9422 [David N. Welton <davidw prosa.it>]
9424 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows filenames containing
9425 characters in the range 0x80 to 0xff (for example accented characters).
9426 [Paul Sutton] PR#3890
9428 *) Added conditional logging based upon environment variables to
9429 mod_log_config. mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent
9430 are now deprecated. [Ken Coar]
9432 *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real
9433 reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal
9434 server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism
9435 can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to"
9436 note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed.
9437 [Cliff Skolnick, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455, 4086
9439 *) Moved man pages for ab and apachectrl to section 8.
9440 [Wilfredo Sanchez, Roy Fielding]
9442 *) Added -S option to install.sh so that options can be passed to
9443 strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez]
9445 *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles
9446 the test case of no modules being selected. [<chaz reliant.com>]
9448 *) Added a <LimitExcept method ...> sectioning directive that allows
9449 the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that
9450 is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation
9451 of the <Limit> directive. This is particularly useful for controlling
9452 access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by
9453 some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch]
9455 *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but
9456 does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is
9457 being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
9459 *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen]
9461 *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being
9462 performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also,
9463 strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases.
9464 [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657
9466 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors.
9469 *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans"
9470 even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding]
9472 *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item()
9473 to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next
9474 list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments,
9475 quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes
9476 insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
9477 [Roy Fielding] PR#2065
9479 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
9480 code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
9481 "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455
9483 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
9484 negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
9485 and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688
9487 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
9488 unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
9489 to get the right result. [Roy Fielding]
9491 *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
9492 negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
9493 (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
9494 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
9495 some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]
9497 *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
9498 file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
9499 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]
9501 *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
9502 searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
9505 *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
9506 error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
9509 *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
9510 displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
9511 Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
9512 going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]
9514 *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
9515 and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
9516 being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password
9517 checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar]
9519 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses
9520 access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
9521 as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.
9523 *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will
9524 make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment.
9527 *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
9528 ap_compat.h. [David White <david persimmon.com>] PR#3725
9530 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.
9531 use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when
9532 the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based.
9533 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773
9535 *) Add ability to handle DES or MD5 authentication passwords.
9536 [Ryan Bloom <rbb Raleigh.IBM.Com>]
9538 *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling. [Dean Gaudet]
9540 *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping
9541 quoted strings. (This overflow was on the heap and we believe
9542 impossible to exploit.) [Rick Perry <perry ece.vill.edu>]
9544 *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus
9545 signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.
9546 [Doug Yatcilla <yatcilda umdnj.edu>] PR#3681
9548 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
9549 and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
9550 [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671
9552 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
9553 implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
9554 hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
9555 to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
9556 sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
9557 because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
9558 prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
9561 *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
9562 well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
9563 printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]
9565 *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
9566 and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
9569 Changes with Apache 1.3.4
9571 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
9572 and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
9573 mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]
9575 *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
9576 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
9579 *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
9580 filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its
9581 presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
9582 for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar]
9584 *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
9585 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
9586 [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
9588 *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
9589 and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
9590 Run each of the following from the src directory:
9591 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build
9592 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs
9593 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk
9594 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build
9595 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
9596 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
9599 *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
9600 to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9602 *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
9603 the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
9604 order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
9605 URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
9606 it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar]
9608 *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
9609 for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699
9611 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
9612 [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz cso.net>] PR#2575
9614 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
9615 search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
9616 for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv pobox.com>] PR#2462
9618 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
9619 compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into
9620 Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim mindspring.com>] PR#3572
9622 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
9623 backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
9624 context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
9625 because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
9626 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
9628 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
9629 making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
9630 depend on other libraries).
9631 [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger gmx.de>]
9633 *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
9634 recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
9635 in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
9636 module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527
9638 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
9639 allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
9640 an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
9641 Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
9643 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
9644 supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
9645 match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
9646 `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
9647 `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
9648 to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
9649 combination with map lookups).
9650 [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9652 *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
9653 forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
9654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9656 *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
9657 user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
9658 `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
9659 (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9661 *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
9662 module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
9663 has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]
9665 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
9666 - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
9667 - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
9668 the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
9669 - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
9670 encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
9671 included within Accept-Encoding.
9672 - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
9673 of large substring sequences.
9674 - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
9677 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
9678 - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
9679 - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
9680 support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
9681 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
9682 - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
9684 - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
9685 processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
9686 values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
9687 - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
9688 - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
9689 rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
9690 e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version.
9691 - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
9692 (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
9693 will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
9695 - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
9696 - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
9697 - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm
9698 to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
9699 - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
9700 negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
9701 - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
9702 file as its best variant
9703 [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3451, 3299, 1987
9705 *) RFC2396 allows the syntax http://host:/path (with no port number)
9706 but the proxy disallowed it (ap_proxy_canon_netloc()).
9707 [David Kristol <dmk bell-labs.com>] PR#3530
9709 *) When modules update/modify the file name in the configfile_t structure,
9710 syntax errors will report the updated name, not the original one.
9711 [Fabien Coelho <coelho cri.ensmp.fr>] PR#3573
9713 *) Correct some filename case assumptions from WIN32 to
9714 CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
9716 *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName
9717 setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet]
9719 *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
9720 rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
9721 This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
9722 the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]
9724 *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
9725 #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
9726 standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
9727 Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]
9729 *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg lentil.org>]
9732 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
9733 and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda discerning.com>] PR#3553
9735 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
9736 the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
9737 command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
9738 instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
9739 So we now changed the command line options this way:
9741 Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
9742 very similar to the popular linker option.
9744 Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
9745 large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also
9746 consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
9748 Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
9749 The manual page was adjusted accordingly.
9750 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2714
9752 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
9753 wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>]
9755 *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
9756 o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
9757 initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
9758 \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
9759 containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
9760 "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
9761 argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
9762 o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
9763 redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
9764 loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
9765 `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
9766 case --with-layout is not used.
9767 o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
9768 Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
9769 config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
9770 four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is
9771 no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
9772 the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
9773 o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
9774 o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
9775 o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
9776 o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns
9777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9779 *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and
9780 ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module
9781 after loading. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9783 *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
9784 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT to NetBSD/OpenBSD section
9785 of ap_config.h to allow serialized accept for multiport listens.
9786 [Roy Fielding, Curt Sampson] PR#3120
9788 *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section
9789 of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP
9790 was overridden. [Roy Fielding]
9792 *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and
9793 strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247
9795 *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is
9796 defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]
9798 *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
9799 [Tom Serkowski <tks bsdi.com>] PR#3453
9801 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
9802 differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
9803 another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
9804 just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
9805 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
9807 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
9808 since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
9809 when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
9810 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
9812 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
9813 creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
9814 shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
9815 Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
9816 from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
9817 provided through the TOP variable, too.
9818 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
9820 *) Fix negotiation so that a Vary response header is correctly
9821 generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary
9822 in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton]
9824 *) Fix negotiation so that we prefer an encoded variant over an
9825 unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can
9826 accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded
9828 [Paul Ausbeck <paula alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>, Paul Sutton] PR#3447
9830 *) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized
9831 and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.
9832 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9834 *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
9835 They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
9836 IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9838 *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
9839 procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
9840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9842 *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
9843 identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
9844 config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
9845 argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
9847 The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
9848 where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
9849 specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
9851 *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
9852 extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
9853 default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
9854 <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
9857 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
9858 APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
9859 file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
9860 the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
9861 with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.
9862 [Ralf Engelschall, Randy Terbush]
9864 *) mod_include.c:handle_perl() now properly tests for OPT_INCNOEXEC
9865 rather than OPT_INCLUDES [Rainer Schoepf <schoepf uni-mainz.de>]
9867 *) ap_md5_binary() was using sprintf() rather than a table lookup
9868 to convert binary bytes to hex digits.

9885 and a redirect at the same time. [Lars Eilebrecht]
9887 *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
9888 a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all
9889 bits set (255.255.255.255). This is the second such problem caused
9890 by gcc 2.8.1 compiler. The first being broken semaphore locking.
9893 *) Updated mime.types to reflect current Internet media types

9967 *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to
9968 on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
9969 in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
9970 supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
9971 mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
9972 the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END
9973 which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
9974 the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

9977 *) Fix problem with 'apache -k shutdown' and startup event
9978 synchronisation (Win32). [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>]
9981 *) The config parser wasn't correctly noticing a missing '>'
9982 on container start lines (e.g., it wouldn't spot
9983 "<Directory /" as a syntax error). [Ryan Bloom <rbbloom us.ibm.com>]
9986 *) Add a 'RemoveHandler' directive which will selectively remove
9987 all handler associations for the specified file extensions.
9988 [Ryan Bloom <rbbloom us.ibm.com>] PR#1799.
9990 *) Properly handle & allow "nul" and ".*/null" in AccessConfig and
9991 ResourceConfig directives on Win32. Also add a note to the effect
9992 of 'useless User directive ignored on Win32' to the errorlog if
9993 a User directive is encountered on Win32.
9994 [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2078, 2303.
9996 *) Fix multiple whitespace handling in imagemaps for mod_imap which was
9997 broken since Apache 1.3.1 where we took out compressing of multiple
9998 spaces in ap_cfg_getline().
9999 [Ivan Richwalski <ivan seppuku.net>] PR#3249
10001 *) Fix Berkeley-DB/2.x support in mod_auth_db: The data structures were not
10002 initialized correctly and the db_open() call used an invalid mode
10003 parameter. [Ron Klatchko <ron ckm.ucsf.edu>] PR#3171
10005 *) PORT: DSO support for UnixWare 7
10006 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Ron Record <rr sco.com>]
10008 *) Merge the contents of the {srm,access}.conf-dist* files into the
10009 httpd.conf-dist* files. The srm and access files now contain
10010 only comments, and httpd.conf has all the combined contents in
10011 a rational order. [Ken Coar]
10013 *) PORT: DSO/ELF support for FreeBSD 3.0.
10014 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dirk Froemberg <ibex physik.TU-Berlin.DE>]
10016 *) Add a "default-handler" handler that calls the default_hander()
10017 function which is normally called for static content. This allows
10018 you to override a specific handler. [Marc Slemko]
10020 *) Further simplify checking for absolute paths by replacing an
10021 hard-coded syntax check with a call to a routine we already created to
10022 do this. [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2976, 3074
10024 *) Log an error if we encounter a malformed "require" directive
10025 in mod_auth if we know that we know that no other module can
10026 deal with it. [Marc Slemko]
10028 *) Remove ap_private_extern method of hiding conflicting symbols
10029 on the NEXT platform because it is not correct for all versions,
10030 and the versions for which it is correct are unknown.
10031 [Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
10033 *) Fix inheritance of IndexOptions NameWidth and remove unintended
10034 restriction on +NameWidth, +IconHeight, and +IconWidth. [Ken Coar]
10036 *) Fix per-directory config merging for cases in which a 500 error
10037 is encountered in an .htaccess file somewhere down the tree.
10040 *) Minor performance improvement to ap_escape_html(). [Roy Fielding]
10042 *) Fixed a segmentation violation in mod_proxy when a response is
10043 non-cachable. [Roy Fielding, traced by Doug Bloebaum]. PR#2950, 3056
10045 Changes with Apache 1.3.3
10047 *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
10048 specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue
10049 response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
10050 useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]
10052 *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
10053 of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
10054 between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
10055 of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]
10057 *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
10058 revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and
10059 HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the
10060 WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any
10061 of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules.
10064 *) Fix a possible race condition between timed-out requests and the
10065 ap_bhalfduplex select that might result in an infinite loop on
10066 platforms that do not validate the descriptor. [Roy Fielding]
10068 *) WIN32: Add "-k shutdown" and "-k restart" options to signal a
10069 running Apache server [Paul Sutton]
10071 *) Fix mod_autoindex bug where directories got a size of "0k" instead
10072 of "-". [Martin Plechsmid <plechsmi karlin.mff.cuni.cz>, Marc Slemko]
10075 *) PORT: DRS 6000 machine. [Paul Debleecker <pdebleecker jetair.be>]
10077 *) Add the server signature text (from the core ServerSignature directive)
10078 to the list of envariables available to scripts, SSI, and the like.
10081 *) PORT: Fix sys/resource.h handling for SCO 3.x platform.
10082 [M. Laak <maert proinv.ee>] PR#3108
10084 *) Fallback from sysconf-based to plain HZ-based `ticks per second'
10085 calculation in mod_status for all systems which don't have POSIX
10086 sysconf() (like UTS 2.1) and not only for the NEXT platform.
10087 [Dave Dykstra <dwd bell-labs.com>] PR#3055
10089 *) Fix `require ...' directive parsing in mod_auth, mod_auth_dbm and
10090 mod_auth_db by using ap_getword_white() (which uses ap_isspace())
10091 instead of ap_getword(..., ' ') (which parses only according to spaces
10092 but not tabs). [James Morris <jmorris intercode.com.au>,
10093 Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3105
10095 *) Fix the SERVER_NAME variable under sub-request situations (where
10096 `UseCanonicalName off' is used) like CGI's called from SSI pages or
10097 RewriteCond variables by adopting r->hostname to sub-requests.
10098 [James Grinter <jrg blodwen.demon.co.uk>] PR#3111

10112 it is now taken care of properly by the header file tests.
10113 [Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez apple.com>]
10115 *) Fix problem with scripts and filehandle inheritance on Win32.
10116 [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2884, 2910
10118 *) Win32 name canonicalisation could end up using the server's
10119 working directory to fill in some blanks. [Ken Parzygnat
10120 <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#3001
10122 *) Correct invalid assumption by ap_sub_req_lookup_file() that all
10123 absolute paths begin with "/" -- because they don't on Win32.
10124 [Ken Parzygnat <kparz raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2976, 3074
10126 *) Add [REDIRECT_]VARIANTS environment variable to mod_speling
10127 so that ErrorDocument 300 processors can reformat the list
10128 if desired. [Ken Coar] PR#2859
10130 *) Add +/- incremental prefixes to IndexOptions keywords, and
10131 enable merging of multiple IndexOptions directives. [Ken Coar]
10133 *) PORT: Allow GuessOS to recognize Unixware 7.0.1 [Steve Cameron
10134 <steve.cameron compaq.com>]
10136 *) Reconstructed the loop through multiple htaccess file names so
10137 that missing files are not confused with unreadable files.
10140 *) The ap_pfopen and ap_pfdopen routines were failing to protect the
10141 errno on an error, which leads to one error being mistaken for
10142 another when reading non-existent .htaccess files.
10145 *) OS/2: The new header tests get things right, need to update
10146 ap_config.h. [Brian Havard]
10148 *) The Perl %ENV hash will now be setup by default when using the
10149 mod_include `perl' command [Doug MacEachern]

10160 *) Avoid possible line overflow in Configure: Use an awkfile to
10161 handle the creation of modules.c [Jim Jagielski]
10163 Changes with Apache 1.3.2
10165 *) Fix bug in ap_remove_module(), which caused problems for dso's
10166 who were the top_module. [Doug MacEachern]
10168 *) Add support for Berkeley-DB/2.x (in addition to Berkeley-DB/1.x) to
10169 mod_auth_db to both be friendly to users who wants to use this version
10170 and to avoid problems under platforms where only version 2.x is present.
10171 [Dan Jacobowitz <drow false.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10173 *) When using ap_log_rerror(), make the error message available to the
10174 *ERROR_NOTES envariables by default. [Ken Coar]
10176 *) BS2000 platform only: get rid of the nasty BS2000AuthFile.
10177 You now must define a BS2000Account name for the server User.
10178 This has fewer security implications than the old approach.
10181 *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX platform: We now use extension `.sl'
10182 instead of `.so' and `SHLIB_PATH' instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on this
10183 platform to make the braindead HPUX linker happy. Notice, for the module
10184 DSOs we don't have to use this, because these are loaded manually (and
10185 not via HPUX' dld). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2905, PR#2968
10187 *) Remove 64 thread limit on Win32.
10188 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
10190 *) Remove redundant substitutions in top-level Makefile.tmpl.
10191 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10193 *) Fix APACI's `Group' configuration adjustment - especially for Linux
10194 platforms where `nogroup' exists in /etc/group. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10196 *) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version
10197 strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard]
10199 *) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C
10200 pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to
10201 determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
10202 we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
10203 portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
10204 configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
10205 approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
10206 the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
10207 As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
10208 existance of the file under /usr/include, too.
10209 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2777
10211 *) PORT: Added RHAPSODY (Mac OS X Server) support. MAP_TMPFILE defined
10212 as an alternate mechanism for mmap'd shared memory for RHAPSODY.
10213 ap_private_extern defined to hide symbols that conflict with loaded
10214 dynamic libraries on the NEXT and RHAPSODY platforms.

10230 [Jeff Stewart <jws purdue.edu>] PR#2790
10232 *) Add some more LIBS for the SCO5 platform which are needed for the already
10233 used -lprot. It's actually a bug in SCO5, of course.
10234 [Ronald Record <rr sco.com>] PR#2533
10236 *) Fix documentation of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse according to the
10237 trailing slash problem. [Jon Drukman <jsd gamespot.com>] PR#2933
10239 *) Remove `-msym' option from LDFLAGS_SHLIB for the Digital UNIX (OSF/1)
10240 platform, because it's only supported under version 4.0 and higher. But
10241 because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the
10242 -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and
10243 best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969
10245 *) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf()
10246 functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
10247 "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
10248 (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
10249 real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941
10251 *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
10252 files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727
10254 *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
10255 port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
10256 directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
10257 CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]
10259 *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
10260 on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
10261 any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
10262 case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of
10263 content is if you are using a modification date based setting.
10264 [Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips <paulp go2net.com>]
10266 *) Problems encountered during .htaccess parsing or CGI execution
10267 that lead to a "500 Server Error" condition now provide explanatory
10268 text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts.
10271 *) Add NameWidth keyword to IndexOptions directive so that the
10272 width of the filename column is customisable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
10275 *) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under
10276 SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho <drc ppt.com>]
10278 *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
10279 a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
10280 proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
10281 the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914
10283 *) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
10284 allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
10285 character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
10286 error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
10287 (enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
10288 stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
10291 *) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
10292 cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
10293 into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
10294 them out. [Ken Coar]
10296 *) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
10298 + Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
10299 different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
10300 in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
10301 starting directory might send us to /home/).
10302 + When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
10303 URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
10304 browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
10305 slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
10306 and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
10310 *) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
10311 dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
10312 "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
10313 core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.
10314 [Martin Kraemer] PR#2914
10316 *) new `GprofDir' directive when compiled with -DGPROF, where gprof can
10317 plop gmon.out profile data for each child [Doug MacEachern]
10319 *) Use the construct ``"$@"'' instead of ``$*'' in the generated
10320 config.status script to be immune against arguments with whitespaces.
10321 [Yves Arrouye <yves apple.com>] PR#2866
10323 *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration
10324 adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper
10325 script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to
10326 be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the
10327 recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems.
10328 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2776, PR#2848
10330 *) Make ab.c again pass ``gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
10331 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline''
10332 without complains after we recently added the POST feature.
10333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10335 *) Renamed is_HTTP_xxx() macros to ap_is_HTTP_xxx() name. They are used inside
10336 modules as API functions and we forgot them at the big symbol renaming.
10337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10339 *) Remove bad reference to non-existing SERVER_VERSION in mod_rewrite.html
10340 [Youichirou Koga <y-koga jp.FreeBSD.ORG>] PR#2895
10342 *) Dynamically size the filename column of mod_autoindex output.
10345 *) Add the ability to do POST requests to the ab benchmarking tool.
10346 [Kurt Sussman <kls best.com>] PR#2871
10348 *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of
10349 5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8
10350 variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every
10351 release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never
10352 needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)
10353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10355 *) Make the proxy generate and understand Via: headers
10358 *) Change the proxy to use tables instead of array_headers for
10359 the header lines. [Martin Kraemer]
10361 *) Make sure the config.status file is not overridden when just
10362 ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844
10364 *) Split MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER into _MAJOR/_MINOR numbers. This should
10365 provide a way to trace API changes that add functionality but do
10366 not create a compatibility issue for precompiled modules, etc.
10367 See include/ap_mmn.h for more details. [Randy Terbush]
10369 *) Fix suexec installation under `make install root=xxx' situation.
10370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10372 *) Extend the output of the -V switch to include the paths of all
10373 compiled-in configuration files, if they were overridden at
10374 compile time, for least astonishment of the user.
10377 *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old"
10378 vhost, request and client information is not displayed.
10381 *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now
10382 run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive.
10385 *) SECURITY: CVE-1999-1199 (cve.mitre.org)
10386 Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2)
10387 cpu time attacks) in header parsing. Add ap_overlap_tables(),
10388 a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations
10389 on tables in a more efficient manner. [Dean Gaudet]
10391 *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for
10392 various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
10393 denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line
10394 size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields),
10395 and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize). Also added
10396 a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the
10397 request message body. [Roy Fielding]
10399 *) Make status module aware of DNS and logging states, even if
10400 STATUS not defined. [Jim Jagielski]
10402 *) Fix a problem with the new OS/2 mutexes. [Brian Havard]
10404 *) Enhance mod_speling so that CheckSpelling can be used in
10405 <Directory> containers and .htaccess files. [Ken Coar]
10407 *) API: new ap_custom_response() function for hooking into the
10408 ErrorDocument mechanism at runtime [Doug MacEachern]
10410 *) API: new ap_uuencode() function [Doug MacEachern]
10412 *) API: scan_script_header_err_core() now "public" and renamed
10413 ap_scan_script_header_err_core() [Doug MacEachern]
10415 *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their
10416 state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski]
10418 *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this
10419 was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3. Add a new
10420 function ap_log_rerror() which takes a request_rec * and
10421 formats it appropriately. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2661
10423 *) Cure ap_cfg_getline() of its nasty habit of compressing internal
10424 whitespace in input lines -- including within quoted strings.
10426 but leading and trailing whitespace should continue to be
10427 stripped [Martin Kraemer]
10429 *) Cleanup of the PrintPath/PrintPathOS2 helper functions. Avoid
10430 the ugly use of an env. variable and use command-line args for
10431 alternate $PATH. Make more like advanced 'type's as well.
10434 *) The IRIXN32 Rule was being ignored. Configure now correctly adds
10435 -n32 only if IRIXN32 says to. [Jim Jagielski, Alain St-Denis
10436 <alain.st-denis ec.gc.ca>] PR#2736
10438 *) Clean up a warning in mod_proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10440 *) Renamed __EMX__ (internal define of the gcc port under OS/2) to OS2
10441 following the same idea as "MSVC vs WIN32". Additionally the src/os/emx/
10442 directory was renamed to src/os/os2/ for consistency.
10443 [Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10445 *) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO
10446 files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries).
10447 This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
10448 linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is
10449 disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
10450 rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
10451 want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.

10764 make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first

10776 *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
10777 If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
10778 non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
10779 configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
10780 on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
10781 because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
10782 This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
10783 to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run

10934 generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10936 *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
10937 was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
10938 proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
10939 purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
10940 was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
10941 its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
10942 cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
10943 The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
10944 was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made
10946 [Martin Kraemer] PR#494, 1259
10948 *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed.
10951 *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"
10952 from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building
10953 ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed
10954 only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
10955 user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.
10956 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2288
10958 *) Renamed three more functions to common ap_ prefix which we missed at the
10959 Big Symbol Renaming because they're #defines and not real C functions:
10960 is_default_port(), default_port(), http_method().
10961 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10963 *) A zero-length name after a $ in an SSI document should cause
10964 just the $ to be in the expansion. This was broken during the
10965 security fixes in 1.2.5. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1921, 2249
10967 *) Call ap_destroy_sub_req() in ap_add_cgi_vars() to reclaim some
10968 memory. [Rob Saccoccio <robs InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2252
10970 *) Fix src/support/httpd.exp (DSO export file which is currently only
10971 used under AIX) because of recent changes to function names.
10972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10974 Changes with Apache 1.3b7
10976 *) Make sure a MIME-type can be forced via a RewriteRule even when no
10977 substitution takes place, for instance via the following rule:
10978 ``RewriteRule ^myscript$ - [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]'' This was often
10979 requested by users in the past to force a single script without a .cgi
10980 extension and outside any cgi-bin dirs to be executed as a CGI program.
10981 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2254
10983 *) A fix for protocol issues surrounding 400, 408, and
10984 414 responses. [Ed Korthof]
10986 *) Ignore MaxRequestsPerChild on WIN32. [Brian Behlendorf]
10988 *) Fix discrepancy in proxy_ftp.c which was causing failures when
10989 trying to connect to certain ftpd's, such as anonftpd.
10990 [Rick Ohnemus <rick ecompcon.com>]
10992 *) Make mod_rewrite use ap_open_piped_log() for RewriteLog directive's
10993 logfile instead of fiddling around itself with child spawning stuff.
10994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10996 *) Made RefererIgnore case-insensitive.
10998 *) Mod_log_agent, mod_log_referer now use ap_open_piped_log for piped logs.
11001 *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything
11002 "safe" under Win32. In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c
11005 *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck <beck bofh.ucs.ualberta.ca>]
11007 *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort
11008 of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars.
11009 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2242
11011 *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed.
11012 [Ben Laurie] PR#2238
11014 *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C
11015 library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles
11016 instead of C file descriptors.
11017 [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard <wgstodda us.ibm.com>] PR#1129, 1607
11019 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached
11020 file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching
11021 of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
11022 [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094
11024 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
11025 is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
11026 somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
11027 provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
11028 variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
11029 reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
11030 building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
11031 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11033 *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
11034 provides for more control over the format of the Server:
11035 header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported;
11036 all module should use the ap_add_version_component()
11037 API function instead. [Jim Jagielski]
11039 *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0
11040 [John Withers <withers semi.kcsc.mwr.irs.gov>]
11042 *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
11043 not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
11044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11046 *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
11047 - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
11048 - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
11049 Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
11050 - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
11051 any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
11053 - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
11054 - updated the dependencies theirself
11055 - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
11056 - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
11057 already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
11058 directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
11059 contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
11060 - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
11061 - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
11063 - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
11064 of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
11065 - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
11066 existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
11067 - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
11068 with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
11069 is no longer needed.
11070 - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
11071 first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner
11072 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11074 *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
11077 *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
11080 *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
11081 [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060
11083 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
11084 and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
11085 device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
11086 we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
11087 [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
11089 *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
11090 due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
11091 SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
11092 descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
11094 *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
11095 like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
11096 if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
11097 and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
11098 in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
11099 necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
11100 or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
11101 necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
11104 *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
11105 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
11106 htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
11108 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
11109 (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
11110 If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
11111 and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
11112 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
11113 configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
11114 had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
11115 UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
11116 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11118 *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
11119 - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
11120 shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
11121 - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
11122 - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
11123 only when no shadow trees already exists
11124 - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
11125 when no more shadow trees exists
11126 - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
11127 as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
11128 - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
11129 Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
11130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11132 *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
11133 AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
11134 declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
11135 augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
11136 with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
11137 AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
11138 into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056
11140 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
11143 *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
11144 [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
11146 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
11147 to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
11150 *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
11151 are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
11152 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
11153 and not the original statically list from modules.c
11154 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
11155 later use by the AddModule command.
11156 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
11157 target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
11158 this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
11159 confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
11160 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
11161 target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
11162 via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
11163 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
11164 is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
11165 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
11166 comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
11167 of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
11168 the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
11169 This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
11170 statically and dynamically linked modules.
11171 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11173 *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the
11174 Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11176 *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command
11177 handler. [Ken Coar]
11179 *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other
11180 places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551
11182 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
11183 zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert twinsun.com>]
11186 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature
11187 feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing
11188 r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some
11189 functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead,
11190 because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.
11193 *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline. Worth
11194 1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet]
11196 *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c
11197 when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski,
11200 *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize
11201 the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts
11202 would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer]
11204 *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole
11205 absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done
11206 in unix. [Martin Kraemer]
11208 *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in
11209 the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there)
11210 and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting.
11211 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>]
11213 *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with
11214 a URI, not a filename, so the check for drive letters for win32
11215 and emx is not necessary. [Dean Gaudet]
11217 *) WIN32: Allow .cmd as an executable extension.
11218 [Kari Likovuori <Kari.Likovuori mol.fi>] PR#2146
11220 *) Make Apache header files, and some variables, C++ friendly.
11221 [Michael Anderson's <mka redes.int.com.mx>]
11223 *) Child processes can now "signal" (by exiting with a status
11224 of APEXIT_CHILDFATAL) the parent process to abort and
11225 shutdown the server if the error in the child process was
11226 fatal enough. [Jim Jagielski]
11228 *) mod_autoindex's find_itme() was sensitive to MIME type case.
11229 [Jim Jagielski] PR#2112
11231 *) Make sure the referer_log and agent_log entries in the default httpd.conf
11232 file are also adjusted for the actual relative installation paths.
11233 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2175
11235 *) WIN32: Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. [Ben Laurie]
11237 *) WIN32: Make roots of filesystems (e.g. c:/) work. [Ben Laurie]
11240 *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3.
11241 Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
11242 from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
11243 mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
11244 vendor functions itself.
11245 [Jens-Uwe Mager, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11247 *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
11248 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165
11250 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
11251 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158
11253 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
11254 AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
11255 accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
11256 which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
11257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11259 *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
11260 that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
11261 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11263 *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
11266 *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
11267 is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
11268 whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer]
11270 *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
11271 of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
11272 maintainers from Red Hat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
11273 little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
11274 provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
11275 --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
11276 --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
11277 side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
11278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11280 *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
11281 by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package
11282 maintainers (especially Debian and Red Hat) who build for the real prefix
11283 via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
11284 "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
11285 the target location on their system.
11286 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11288 *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now
11289 substituting in chunks of 50 commands (because for instance HPUX's vendor
11290 sed has a limit of max. 98 commands)
11291 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2136
11293 *) Adding SOCKS5 support and fixing existing SOCKS4 support.
11294 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2140
11296 *) Manually fix some symbols which were not renamed to prefix ap_ in the BIG
11297 RENAMING process because they are defined as pre-processor macros instead
11298 of real functions: bputc, bgetc, piped_log_write_fd, piped_log_read_fd
11299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11301 *) Workaround braindead AWK's when generating ap_config.h: The split() and
11302 substr() functions cannot be nested under vendor AWK from Solaris 2.6.
11303 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2139
11305 *) Various bugfixes and cleanups for the APACI configure script:
11306 o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation
11307 o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one
11308 o fix DSO consistency check
11309 o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout
11310 o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub
11311 o reduce complexity by avoiding sed-hacks for rule and module list loops
11312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11314 *) Fix DEBUG_CGI situation in mod_cgi.c [David MacKenzie] PR#2114
11316 *) Make sure the input field separator (IFS) shell variable is explicitly
11317 initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after
11318 the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11320 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
11321 `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
11322 customize these for own MIME and content types.
11323 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11325 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for OpenBSD 2.x
11326 [Peter Galbavy, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2109
11328 *) Fix the path to the ScoreBoardFile in the install-config target, too.
11329 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105
11331 *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell
11332 variables) to avoid side-effects in "src/Configure" when the user
11333 exported them (which is not needed, but some users do it).
11334 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2101
11336 *) Provide backward compatibility from some old src/Configuration.tmpl
11337 parameter names to the canonical Autoconf-style shell variable names. For
11338 instance CFLAGS vs. EXTRA_CFLAGS. The EXTRA_xxx variants are accepted now
11339 but a hint message is displayed. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11341 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the DocumentRoot and
11342 CGI scripts from an existing Apache installation.
11343 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Jim Jagielski] PR#2084
11345 *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first
11346 let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and
11347 second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not
11348 appended to sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir when
11349 --compat is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Eilebrecht]
11351 *) NeXT required strdup() in support/logresolve.c
11352 [Francisco Tomei <fatomei sandburg.unm.edu>] PR#2082
11354 *) AIX required sys/select.h in support/ab.c
11355 [Jens Schleusener <Jens.Schleusener dlr.de>] PR#2081
11357 *) Fix the path to the MimeMagicFile in the install-config target, too.
11358 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089
11360 *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson <jaearick colby.edu>]
11362 *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
11363 out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
11364 to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
11365 (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
11367 *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
11368 ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
11371 *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
11372 --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
11373 --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
11375 *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
11376 to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
11377 to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11379 *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
11380 ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
11381 message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
11382 to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
11384 *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
11385 stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
11386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11388 *) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too
11389 long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile
11390 [Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11392 *) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory
11393 /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht]
11395 Changes with Apache 1.3b6
11397 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
11399 *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
11400 interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
11401 calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11403 *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
11404 APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
11405 Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11407 *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
11408 To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
11409 we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
11411 - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
11412 - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
11413 - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
11414 cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
11415 For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
11416 created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
11417 by third-party module authors.
11420 *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
11421 problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
11422 to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
11423 available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
11424 dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
11425 httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
11426 Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
11427 This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
11428 to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
11429 user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
11430 automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
11431 hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
11432 this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
11433 essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
11434 manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
11435 where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
11436 features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
11437 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
11439 *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
11441 *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
11442 inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
11443 conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
11444 "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
11445 process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
11446 source tree as it was for distribution.
11447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11449 *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
11450 the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
11451 initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
11452 variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
11453 prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
11454 This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
11455 user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11457 *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
11458 [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr mixi.net>] PR#2045
11460 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of
11461 indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also
11462 remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
11463 to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]
11465 *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
11466 since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]
11468 *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
11470 *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
11471 experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
11472 an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
11473 prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules.
11474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11476 *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
11477 specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
11478 manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
11479 the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
11480 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11482 *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
11483 on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
11484 installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
11485 the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
11486 for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
11487 warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
11488 the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11490 *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
11491 and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
11492 Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
11493 a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
11494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11496 *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
11497 installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
11498 dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
11499 this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The
11500 (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
11501 Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
11502 (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
11503 module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
11504 tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
11505 dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
11506 modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
11507 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
11508 on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
11509 first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
11510 APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11512 *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.
11513 [<Rainer.Scherg rexroth.de>] PR#1326, #1573, #1942
11515 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
11516 so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
11519 *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
11520 the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
11521 out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
11522 complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
11523 script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is
11524 to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
11525 the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the
11526 package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old
11527 configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
11528 customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11530 *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe.
11531 Had to remove the HAVE_CVT macro in order to do threadsafe
11532 calling of the ?cvt() floating point routines. [Dean Gaudet]
11534 *) PORT: Add the SCO_SV port. [Jim Jagielski] PR#1962

11539 *) BUG: Configure was using TCC and CC inconsistently. Make sure
11540 Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski]
11542 *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
11543 was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]
11545 *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
11546 a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
11547 routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines
11548 psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
11549 required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up
11550 various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
11553 *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because
11554 ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
11555 snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet]
11557 *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This
11558 is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
11559 are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
11560 maintained across exec().

11586 [Jürgen Keil <jk tools.de>] PR#2000
11588 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
11589 therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
11590 is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
11591 Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with
11592 %2f in them (occurs quite often in
11593 http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer]
11595 *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches. [Dean Gaudet]
11597 *) Make the shared object compilation command more portable by avoiding
11598 the direct combination of `-c' & `-o' which is not honored by some
11599 compilers like UnixWare's cc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11601 *) WIN32: the proxy was creating filenames missing the last four
11602 characters. While this normally doesn't stop anything from
11603 working, it can result in extra collisions.
11604 [Tim Costello <tjcostel socs.uts.edu.au>] PR#1890
11606 *) Now mod_proxy uses the response string (in addition to the response status

11608 header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183
11610 *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive:
11611 Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old
11612 name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to
11613 the mod_proxy.html and corrected the hyperlink to it in the

11622 *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1,
11623 suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date
11624 and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
11625 document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
11626 Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11628 *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
11629 Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
11630 INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
11631 generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
11632 information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
11633 the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
11634 verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
11635 added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11637 *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
11638 from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the
11639 response performance of an Apache installation. This version is
11640 officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement

11645 have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT. Still
11646 more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general
11647 use by modules. [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]

11662 *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to
11663 "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header

11665 the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by
11666 doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
11669 *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
11670 to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
11671 warnings [Jim Jagielski]
11673 *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
11676 *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
11677 mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
11678 checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
11679 HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
11680 checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
11681 from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
11682 the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
11683 especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
11684 be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together.
11685 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11687 *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]
11689 *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source

11699 *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
11700 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>]
11702 *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
11703 (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
11704 ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
11705 modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
11706 building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
11707 least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11709 *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
11710 content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They
11711 must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
11712 be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs
11713 related to this. [Dean Gaudet]
11715 *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
11716 treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There
11717 is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup().
11720 *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
11721 are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
11722 error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11724 *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
11725 environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes

11748 *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
11749 mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
11750 files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated
11751 through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
11752 but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
11753 lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
11754 parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
11755 RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
11756 the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
11757 hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
11759 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no
11760 longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
11761 URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
11762 AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
11763 not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can
11764 be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
11765 does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
11766 also consistent with the Alias directive.

11774 contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform.
11775 This file can then be included by external modules before including
11776 any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from
11777 Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were
11778 made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf
11779 defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
11781 *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where <VirtualHost> sections exist
11782 but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no
11783 chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus
11784 receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by
11785 remembering the server together with the config structure while
11786 configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a
11787 difference between the remembered server and the one calling us.

11827 absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a
11828 "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been
11829 supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols
11830 which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests.
11832 In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a
11833 request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so
11834 that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set
11835 by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or
11836 translate_names phase.

11864 parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called
11865 parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules.
11866 Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI
11867 components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part
11868 from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure,
11869 you find on a ready-for-use basis:
11870 scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */
11871 hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */
11872 user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
11873 password; /* password, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
11874 hostname; /* hostname from URI (or from Host: header) */
11875 port_str; /* port string (integer representation is in "port") */
11876 path; /* the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */
11877 query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */
11878 fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */
11879 This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in
11880 code complexity for the proxy module (and maybe the vhost logic).
11883 *) Make all possible meta-construct expansions ($N, %N, %{NAME} and
11884 ${map:key}) available for all location where a string is created in
11885 mod_rewrite rewriting rulesets: 1st arg of RewriteCond, 2nd arg of
11886 RewriteRule and for the [E=NAME:STRING] flag of RewriteRule. This way the
11887 possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation
11888 locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11890 *) Fix initialization of RewriteLogLevel (default now is 0 as documented
11891 and not 1) and the per-virtual-server merging of directives. Now all
11892 directives except `RewriteEngine' and `RewriteOption' are either
11893 completely overridden (default) or completely inherited (when
11894 `RewriteOptions inherit') is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1325

11897 defined but disabled (`RewriteEngine off') in per-server context.

11900 *) Fix bug introduced in 1.3b4-dev, config with no Port setting would cause
11901 server to bind to port 0 rather than 80. [Dean Gaudet]
11903 *) Fix long-standing problem with RewriteMap _programs_ under Unix derivates
11904 (like SunOS and FreeBSD) which don't accept the locking of pipes
11905 directly. A new directive RewriteLock is introduced which can be used to
11906 setup a separate locking file which then is used for synchronization.

11912 value is stored by running "apache -i -d serverroot". [Paul Sutton]

11921 *) The mod_setenvif BrowserMatch backwards compatibility command did not
11922 work properly with spaces in the regex. [Ronald Tschalaer] PR#1825
11924 *) Add new RewriteMap types: First, `rnd' which is equivalent to the `txt'
11925 type but with a special post-processing for the looked-up value: It
11926 parses it into alternatives according to `|' chars and then only one
11927 particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential
11928 functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using
11929 Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of
11930 servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and
11931 `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an
11932 essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass
11933 virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using
11934 <VirtualHost> sections). [Ralf S. Engelschall, parts based on code from
11935 Jay Soffian <jay cimedia.com>] PR#1631
11937 *) Add a new directive to mod_proxy similar to ProxyPass: `ProxyPassReverse'.
11938 This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in Location-headers on HTTP
11939 redirect responses sent by the remote server. This way the virtually
11940 mapped area is no longer left on redirects and thus by-passed which is
11941 especially essential when running Apache as a reverse proxy.

11960 In particular the handlers could trigger themselves into an infinite
11961 loop if RLimitMem was used with a small amount of memory -- too small
11962 for the signal stack frame to be set up. [Dean Gaudet]

11997 *) <Files> is not permitted within <Location> (because of the
11998 semantic ordering). [Dean Gaudet] PR#379
12000 *) <Files> with wildcards was broken by the change in wildcard
12001 semantics (* does not match /). To fix this, <Files> now
12002 apply only to the basename of the request filename. This

12042 Changes with Apache 1.3b4
12044 *) The module structure was modified to include a *dynamic_load_handle
12045 in the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF portion, and the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER
12046 has been bumped accordingly. [Paul Sutton]

12050 configuration files. [Lars Eilebrecht]
12052 *) MiNT port update. [Jan Paul Schmidt]
12054 *) HTTP/1.1 requires x-gzip and gzip encodings be treated
12055 equivalent, similarly for x-compress and compress. Apache
12056 now ignores a leading x- when comparing encodings. It also
12057 preserves the encoding the client requests (for example if
12058 it requests x-gzip, then Apache will respond with x-gzip
12059 in the Content-Encoding header).
12060 [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1772
12062 *) Fix a memory leak on keep-alive connections. [Igor Tatarinov]
12064 *) Added mod_so module to support dynamic loading of modules on Unix
12065 (like mod_dld for Win32). This replaces mod_dld.c. Use SharedModule
12066 instead of AddModule in Configuration to build shared modules
12067 [Sameer Parekh, Paul Sutton]
12069 *) Minor cleanups to r->finfo handling in some modules.
12072 *) Abstract read()/write() to ap_read()/ap_write().
12073 Makes it easier to add other types of IO code such as SFIO.
12076 *) API: Generalize default_port manipulations to make support of
12077 different protocols easier. [Ben Laurie, Randy Terbush]
12079 *) There are many cases where users do not want Apache to form
12080 self-referential urls using the "canonical" ServerName and Port.
12081 The new UseCanonicalName directive (default on), if set to off
12082 will cause Apache to use the client-supplied hostname and port.
12083 API: Part of this change required a change to the construct_url()
12084 prototype; and the addition of get_server_name() and
12086 [Michael Douglass <mikedoug texas.net>, Dean Gaudet]
12087 PR#315, 459, 485, 1433
12089 *) Yet another rearrangement of the source tree.. now all the common
12090 header files are in the src/include directory. The -Imain -Iap
12091 references in Makefiles have been changed to the simpler -Iinclude
12092 instead. In addition to simplifying the build a little bit, this
12093 also makes it clear when a module is referencing something in a
12094 other than kosher manner (e.g., the proxy including mod_mime.h).
12095 Module-private header files (the proxy, mod_mime, the regex library,
12096 and mod_rewrite) have not been moved to src/include; nor have
12097 the OS-abstraction files. [Ken Coar]
12099 *) Fix a bug where r->hostname didn't have the :port stripped
12100 from it. [Dean Gaudet]
12102 *) Tweaked the headers_out table size, and the subprocess_env
12103 table size guess in rename_original_environment(). Added
12104 MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE which can help discover make_table()
12105 calls that use too small an initial guess, see alloc.c.
12108 *) Options and AllowOverride weren't properly merging in the main
12109 server setting inside vhosts (only an issue when you have no
12110 <Directory> or other section containing an Options that affects
12111 a request). Options +foo or -foo in the main_server wouldn't
12112 affect the main_server's lookup defaults. [Dean Gaudet]
12114 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
12117 *) r->allowed handling cleaned up in the standard modules.
12120 *) Some case-sensitivity issues cleaned up to be consistent with
12121 RFC2068. [Dean Gaudet]
12123 *) SIGURG doesn't exist everywhere.
12124 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
12126 *) mod_unique_id was erroneously generating a second unique id when
12127 an internal redirect occured. Such redirects occur, for example,
12128 when processing a DirectoryIndex match. [Dean Gaudet]
12130 *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup()
12131 of the key and value. But in many cases this is not required
12132 because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built
12133 by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn,
12134 table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these
12135 routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and
12136 standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines.
12137 The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations.
12139 Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value
12140 which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only
12141 safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of
12142 the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table.
12143 i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main
12144 request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the
12145 main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as
12146 the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper
12147 usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details.
12148 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>, Dean Gaudet]
12150 *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files"
12151 which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly.
12152 Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no
12153 MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled.
12156 *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts
12157 which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts
12158 appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of
12159 "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set.
12160 [Martin Kraemer, with code from Peter Wemm <peter zeus.dialix.oz.au>
12163 *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should
12164 have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even
12165 some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition
12166 to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile
12167 time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change
12168 facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table
12169 structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts()
12170 to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet]
12172 *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP
12173 library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf]
12175 *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform.
12178 *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed:
12180 SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
12182 Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards
12183 and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the
12184 HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the
12185 OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for
12186 the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD
12187 and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to
12188 determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache
12189 to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard.
12192 *) PORT: UnixWare 2.1.2 SMP appears to require USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT,
12193 as do various earlier versions. It should be safe on all versions.
12194 Unixware 1.x appears to have the same SIGHUP bug as solaris does with
12195 the slack code. A few other cleanups for Unixware.

12201 *) When die() happens we need to eat any request body if one exists.
12202 Otherwise we can't continue with a keepalive session. This shows up
12203 as a POST problem with MSIE 4.0, typically against pages which are
12204 authenticated. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
12206 *) If you define SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION then the Authorization

12218 The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that
12219 even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of
12220 magnitude slower. It also uses SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT so
12221 that single socket users will see no difference. [Dean Gaudet] PR#467

12247 *) The src/main/*.h header files have had #ifndef wrappers added to
12248 insulate them against duplicate calls if they get included through
12249 multiple paths (e.g., in .c files as well as other .h files).
12252 *) The libap routines now have a header file for their prototypes,
12253 src/ap/ap.h, to ease their use in non-httpd applications. [Ken Coar]
12255 *) mod_autoindex with a plaintext header file would emit the <PRE>

12257 but before the header file contents. [John Van Essen <jve gamers.org>]
12260 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
12261 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
12262 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]

12265 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
12266 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]

12284 underscores over any character outside the regex. This
12285 affects HTTP_* variables, in a way that should be backward
12286 compatible for all the standard headers; and affects variables
12287 set with SetEnv/BrowserMatch and similar directives.

12374 [Ben Reser <breser regnow.com>] PR#1366
12376 *) The bputc() macro was not properly integrated with the chunking
12377 code; in many cases modules using bputc() could cause completely
12378 bogus chunked output. (Typically this will show up as problems
12379 with Internet Explorer 4.0 reading a page, but other browsers
12380 having no problem.) [Dean Gaudet]
12382 *) Create LARGE_WRITE_THRESHOLD define which determines how many
12383 bytes have to be supplied to bwrite() before it will consider
12384 doing a writev() to assemble multiple buffers in one system
12385 call. This is critical for modules such as mod_include,
12386 mod_autoindex, mod_php3 which all use bputc()/bputs() of smaller
12387 strings in some cases. The result would be extra effort
12388 setting up writev(), and in many cases extra effort building
12389 chunks. The default is 31, it can be overriden at compile
12390 time. [Dean Gaudet]

12506 *) PORT: Recent changes made it necessary to add explicit prototype
12507 for fgetc() and fgets() on SunOS 4.x. [Martin Kraemer, Ben Hyde]
12509 *) It was necessary to distinguish between resources which are
12510 allocated in the parent, for cleanup in the parent, and resources
12511 which are allocated in each child, for cleanup in each child.
12512 A new pool was created which is passed to the module child_init
12513 and child_exit functions; modules are free to register per-child
12514 cleanups there. This fixes a bug with reliable piped logs.
12517 *) mod_autoindex wasn't displaying the ReadmeName file at the bottom
12518 unless it was also doing FancyIndexes, but it displayed the
12519 HeaderName file at the top under all circumstances. It now shows
12520 the ReadmeName file for simple indices, too, as it should.

12524 read the file. [Ben Hyde <bhyde gensym.com>]
12526 *) Complete rewrite ;-) of mod_rewrite's URL rewriting engine:
12527 Now the rewriting engine (the heart of mod_rewrite) is organized more
12528 straight-forward, first time well documented and reduced to the really
12529 essential parts. All redundant cases were stripped off and processing now
12530 is the same for both per-server and per-directory context with only a
12531 minimum difference (the prefix stripping in per-dir context). As a
12532 side-effect some subtle restrictions and two recently discovered problems
12533 are gone: Wrong escaping of QUERY_STRING on redirects in per-directory
12534 context and restrictions on the substitution URL on redirects.
12535 Additionally some minor source cleanups were done.

12692 *) TestCompile was not passing $LIBS [Dean Gaudet]
12694 *) Makefile.tmpl was not using $CFLAGS in the link phase.
12697 *) Add debugging code to alloc.c. Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
12698 rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
12699 low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
12700 Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
12701 and free() for each object. This is far more expensive and should
12702 only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
12703 Purify. See main/alloc.c for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
12705 *) Configure uses a sh trap and didn't set its exitcode properly.
12706 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1159
12708 *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
12709 explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
12710 From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
12711 only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
12712 vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
12713 the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
12714 moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]
12716 *) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
12717 be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
12718 for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
12719 gcc >= 2.7.x (so that we have fewer support issues with older

12732 *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
12733 and stderr. stderr will not be detached until after the config
12734 files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
12735 messages. After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
12736 This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
12737 or crontabs. [Dean Gaudet] PR#523
12739 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.

12754 character in the description. It also improperly truncated
12755 descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
12758 *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155). Also
12759 "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
12762 *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
12763 and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
12764 redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
12765 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]
12767 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting

12784 *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
12785 buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
12786 bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
12787 buffer boundary. [Dean Gaudet]
12789 *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
12790 the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on. As part of
12791 this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
12792 scoreboard_image was exported. This change fixes a race condition
12793 in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
12794 scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development. [Dean Gaudet]
12796 *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
12797 modules to register children with the parent for maintenance. It
12798 is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD. [Dean Gaudet]
12800 *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
12801 and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
12802 when it is available. The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
12803 by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS. At the moment reliable piped
12804 logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]
12806 *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
12807 meets_conditions(). This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
12808 handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
12809 the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.

12829 Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
12830 weren't supposed to be. [Ken Coar] PR #991
12832 *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
12833 the time. Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
12834 show when the child has made forward progress. The parent samples this
12835 counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
12836 progress has been made in the timeout period. This reduces the static
12837 request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29. This scheme is only
12838 used by systems with memory-based scoreboards. [Dean Gaudet]
12840 *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
12841 to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote. [Marc Slemko] PR#1024
12843 *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support
12844 directory. This script allows you to do things such as
12845 "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
12846 line. [Marc Slemko]
12848 *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
12849 simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
12852 *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
12853 an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
12854 external libraries. [Ken Coar]
12856 *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
12857 other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
12858 offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
12859 authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
12860 http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
12861 mod_auth_sql option in the near future.
12863 *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]
12865 *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
12866 Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.
12868 *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
12869 of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
12870 cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]
12872 *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
12873 avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings. It is intended to hold
12874 the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable). An
12875 update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
12876 appropriate. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
12878 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
12879 deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN. The previous
12880 behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
12881 This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
12882 stop working. [Marc Slemko] PR#817
12884 *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
12885 verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
12886 the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
12887 on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
12888 of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]
12890 *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
12891 errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
12893 *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
12894 converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
12895 slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
12896 correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]
12898 *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
12899 Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel <amarkel encore.com>
12900 Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill <sborrill xemplar.co.uk>
12902 *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
12903 configured and running" entry in the error_log. Also build an
12904 object file at link-time that contains the current time
12905 (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
12906 message. [Ken Coar]
12908 *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
12909 This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
12910 the proxy. [Marc Slemko] PR#659
12912 *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the
12913 scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
12914 mod_status to see current server snapshot.
12916 *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
12917 independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
12918 moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
12919 [David J. MacKenzie]
12921 *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
12922 to log. This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
12923 such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]
12925 *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
12926 Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles. The old behavior
12927 of replacing a newline after <title> with a space causes the
12928 title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]
12930 *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.
12931 [David J. MacKenzie]
12933 *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
12934 files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]
12936 *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
12937 new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
12938 (*that's* new). [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352
12940 *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
12941 the server to use mmap() for static files. There are two
12942 compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
12943 required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
12944 number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
12945 default 32768). [Dean Gaudet]
12947 *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
12948 the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect. It is
12949 useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
12950 the headers/contents of the request. It does not run during subrequests
12951 because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
12952 request. [Dean Gaudet]
12954 *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
12955 each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
12958 *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened. This
12959 allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
12962 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
12963 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
12965 *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
12966 accept. In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
12967 locking were used. The method is chosen by the definition of
12968 USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h. xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
12969 and FLOCK for flock(). New options have been added:
12970 - SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
12971 - PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
12972 - USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
12973 Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
12975 - Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
12976 - Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
12977 - IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
12978 work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
12979 [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec vtcom.fr>,
12980 Martijn Koster <m.koster pobox.com>]
12982 *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
12983 mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use. But
12984 in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
12985 redundant to serialize accept(). Not all unixes do a good job with
12986 potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
12987 socket. It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
12988 the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
12989 and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
12990 [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
12992 *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
12993 some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
12994 the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
12995 available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
12996 now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
12997 We no longer default to -O2 optimization. [Jim Jagielski]
12999 *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
13000 module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
13001 Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own
13002 directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can
13003 create one. Modules can add compiler or library information to
13004 generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]
13006 *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in
13007 modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
13008 code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]
13010 *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
13013 *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
13014 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
13015 relative paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
13016 and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]
13018 *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
13019 N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
13020 components in the filename of an object.
13022 To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
13023 - Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
13024 <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
13025 character. For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
13026 match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
13027 like "/home/bob/public_html". This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
13028 - It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
13030 - Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.
13034 *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
13035 and corrupted paths. [Dean Gaudet]
13037 *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
13038 First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
13039 be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
13040 strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
13041 parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
13042 via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
13043 strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
13044 through the use of backreferences.
13045 Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
13046 code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function.
13047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13049 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
13050 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
13051 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
13053 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
13054 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
13057 *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
13058 has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
13059 Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
13060 - the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
13061 - the matching process now is:
13062 - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
13064 - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
13065 - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
13066 name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
13067 *only on name-based vhosts*
13068 - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
13069 [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins sugarat.net>]
13071 *) dbmmanage overhaul:
13072 - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new
13073 - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
13074 GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
13075 - provide better seed for rand
13076 - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
13078 - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
13079 - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
13081 - added `check' command to check a users' password
13082 - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or
13083 dbm files exported with `view'
13084 - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
13087 *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
13088 the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
13089 for its sockets. bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket(). There
13090 was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
13091 registered cleanup. [Dean Gaudet]
13093 *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
13096 *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
13097 [Jason Venner <jason idiom.com>] PR#667
13099 *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
13100 the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
13101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13103 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
13104 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
13106 *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
13107 SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
13108 for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]
13110 *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
13111 (courtesy of Paul Sutton). BrowserMatch* directives are still
13112 available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
13113 UnSetEnvIfZero directives. [Ken Coar]
13115 *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
13116 order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
13117 REMOTE_HOST). The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
13120 *) mod_access overhaul:
13121 - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
13122 and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
13123 - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config time.
13124 - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
13125 the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
13126 - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
13127 no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
13128 doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
13129 hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
13130 without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
13133 *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
13134 while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
13135 the large write and the buffer into a single writev(). (This is
13136 in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
13139 *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
13140 Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block. Cleaned
13141 up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c. Fixed
13142 a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
13143 of a response to be unduly delayed. [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]
13145 *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure. This is called
13146 once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s
13147 e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
13148 [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
13150 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
13151 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
13154 *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
13155 in some cases, but not in others. It now avoids it in all cases.
13158 *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
13159 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>] PR#904
13161 *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
13162 [Alexander L Jones <alex systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732
13164 *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
13165 by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
13166 or descending order. Just click on the column header. [Ken Coar]
13168 *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
13169 CPUs like the Alpha. Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
13170 the relatively safe direction. [Dean Gaudet] PR#344
13172 *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
13173 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>] PR#683
13175 *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
13176 listening socket. [Dean Gaudet]
13178 *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
13179 spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
13180 doubling each second. It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
13181 since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
13182 setting. The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
13183 the maximum. [Dean Gaudet]
13185 *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
13186 CGI scripts. This means that data will be sent to the client
13187 as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
13188 buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
13189 could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
13190 or output a complete buffer. It is no longer necessary to use an
13191 "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output. Given that most CGIs are written
13192 in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
13193 shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.
13195 "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
13196 without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
13197 HTTP/1.1 or SSL support. As such they would have had to implement
13198 the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
13199 to work properly in certain situations. Now, the only difference
13200 between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
13201 [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]
13203 *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
13204 bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
13205 switch. [Dean Gaudet]
13207 Changes with Apache 1.3a1
13209 *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
13210 if a specified library exists. [Jim Jagielski]
13212 *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
13213 [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes aw.sgi.com>]
13216 *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
13217 functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
13218 NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
13220 *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
13221 and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
13222 mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
13224 *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
13225 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>]
13227 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
13228 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
13229 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
13230 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
13232 *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
13233 match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new
13236 *) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
13239 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
13240 REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
13241 [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815
13243 *) Support the image map format of FrontPage. For example:

13248 ["Darren O'Shaughnessy" <darren aaii.oz.au>] PR#846
13250 *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
13251 the output of mod_info. ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
13253 *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
13254 addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
13255 names to be qualified by redirection.
13256 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>]
13258 *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
13259 header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
13262 *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
13263 3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
13264 URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
13265 redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
13266 braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
13267 no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
13268 mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
13269 an empty query string via "xxx?".
13270 This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
13271 i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
13272 exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
13273 the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
13274 no longer maintains an external version.
13275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13277 *) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
13278 once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
13279 See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
13281 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
13282 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
13284 *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
13285 processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
13288 *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
13289 string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
13291 *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
13292 settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
13293 src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
13295 *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
13296 directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
13297 if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
13298 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
13300 *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
13301 LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
13302 compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
13303 [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
13305 *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
13306 This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
13307 from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
13308 trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
13309 you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
13310 indexing then you'll want to add:
13312 Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
13314 before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
13316 *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
13317 [Dean Gaudet] PR#525
13319 *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
13320 giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
13321 and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
13324 *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
13325 ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
13327 *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
13328 of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)
13329 command. [Ian Kluft <ikluft cisco.com>]
13331 *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
13332 request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
13334 *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
13335 main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
13337 *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
13338 nmake -f Makefile.nt
13339 Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
13341 *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
13342 potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
13344 *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
13345 for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
13346 enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
13348 *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
13349 avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
13350 and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
13351 The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
13352 work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
13355 *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
13356 to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.

13359 *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
13360 module list. [Dean Gaudet]
13362 *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
13363 unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
13364 particularly important for high volume sites with a large
13365 HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
13366 and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
13367 httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
13369 *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
13370 busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
13372 *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
13373 (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
13376 *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
13377 the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
13378 compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
13379 would without sfio compiled in.
13382 *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
13383 usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
13384 selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
13387 *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
13388 will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not
13389 work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr netmatic.com>] PR#444
13391 *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
13392 passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.

13409 *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
13411 *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
13412 When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
13413 attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]

13420 Changes with Apache 1.2.6
13422 *) mod_include when using XBitHack Full would send ETags in addition to
13423 sending Last-Modifieds. This is incorrect HTTP/1.1 behaviour.
13424 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1133
13426 *) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
13427 gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
13428 actually be reached via that port/addr. [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]
13430 *) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
13431 properly. [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]
13433 *) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
13436 *) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
13437 and mod_include.c. [Dean Gaudet]
13439 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
13442 *) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
13443 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
13445 *) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a
13446 request body, the body has to be read from the net before allowing
13447 a keepalive session to continue. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
13449 *) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
13450 the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
13452 *) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with
13453 multiple occurrences of the same key. [Stephen Scheck
13454 <sscheck infonex.net>, Ben Laurie] PR#1604
13456 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
13457 cases. [Ben Reser <breser regnow.com>] PR#1366
13459 *) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
13460 in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500
13462 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
13463 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
13464 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
13466 *) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
13467 header, not an error, but a waste.
13468 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1683
13470 *) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.
13471 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1599, PR#1666
13473 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
13474 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
13475 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
13477 *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
13480 *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
13481 the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
13482 mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
13484 *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
13485 some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]
13487 *) Fix MPE compilation error in mod_usertrack.c. [Mark Bixby]
13489 *) Quote CC='$(CC)' to improve recurse make calls. [Martin Kraemer]
13491 *) Avoid B_ERROR redeclaration on sysvr4 systems. [Martin Kraemer]
13493 Changes with Apache 1.2.5
13495 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
13496 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
13497 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
13499 *) Fix an improper length in an ap_snprintf call in proxy_date_canon().
13502 *) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
13503 directory listings. [Marc Slemko]
13505 *) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
13508 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
13509 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
13510 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
13512 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
13513 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
13515 *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
13516 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
13517 was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
13518 is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
13519 Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
13520 should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
13521 from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
13522 between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
13524 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
13525 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
13526 was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the previous note
13527 about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
13529 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
13530 permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
13531 The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
13532 be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
13533 htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
13535 *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
13536 Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial
13537 of service attack against the Apache server. Thanks to
13538 Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf boss.staszic.waw.pl> for reporting
13539 this. [Dean Gaudet]
13541 *) mod_include used uninitialized data for some uses of && and ||.
13542 [Brian Slesinsky <bslesins wired.com>] PR#1139
13544 *) mod_imap should decline all non-GET methods.
13545 [Jay Bloodworth <jay pathways.sde.state.sc.us>]
13547 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
13549 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
13550 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
13551 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]
13553 *) mod_include did not properly handle all possible redirects from sub-
13554 requests. [Ken Coar]
13556 *) Inetd mode (which is buggy) uses timeouts without having setup the
13557 jmpbuffer. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1064
13559 *) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
13560 reporting a select error over and over.
13561 [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>] PR#1107
13563 Changes with Apache 1.2.4
13565 *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
13566 always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.
13567 [Marc Slemko, Roy Fielding]
13569 *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
13570 on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
13572 Changes with Apache 1.2.3
13574 *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
13575 result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
13576 supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
13577 PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]
13579 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
13580 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
13582 *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
13583 do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
13585 *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
13587 Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
13589 *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
13590 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
13591 paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
13594 *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
13595 USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
13598 *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
13599 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
13601 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
13602 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
13603 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
13605 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
13606 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
13609 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
13610 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
13612 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
13613 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
13616 *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
13617 mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
13618 o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
13619 minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
13621 - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
13622 - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string
13623 - fixed forced response code on redirects (PR#777)
13624 - fixed cases where r->args is ""
13625 - kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
13626 - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
13627 - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
13628 o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
13629 o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
13630 find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
13631 o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
13632 o fixed a few comment typos
13633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13635 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
13636 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
13638 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
13639 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
13640 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
13641 Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
13642 a deficiency in the header_parse phase.

13649 *) Properly treat <files> container like other containers in mod_info.
13650 [Marc Slemko] PR#848
13652 *) The proxy didn't treat the "Host:" keyword of the host header as case-
13653 insensitive. The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
13654 an HTTP/0.9 server. [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814
13656 *) mod_include would log some bogus values occasionally.

13659 *) PORT: The slack fd changes in 1.2.1 introduced a problem with SIGHUP
13660 under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
13661 [Dean Gaudet] PR#832
13663 *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
13664 is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
13665 of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
13666 handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
13667 what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
13668 next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
13669 has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378
13671 *) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
13672 release version number, such that it always increases along the
13673 same lines as our source code branching. [Roy Fielding]
13675 *) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed. [Paul Sutton] PR#94
13677 Changes with Apache 1.2.1
13679 *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
13680 symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
13681 or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of

13685 could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
13686 the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
13688 *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
13689 (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
13690 mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
13692 *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
13693 BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
13695 *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
13696 if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
13697 to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
13698 options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
13700 *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
13701 lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
13702 [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
13705 *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
13706 body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
13707 not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
13709 *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
13710 makes. [Marc Slemko]
13712 *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.

13718 *) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
13719 handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
13720 solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
13721 descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
13722 can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
13723 which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
13724 this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
13725 log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
13726 you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
13727 [Dean Gaudet] various PRs
13729 *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
13730 log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
13731 problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
13732 directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
13733 work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]

13788 reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
13789 a custom timeout handler. [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]

13864 script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
13865 This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
13866 in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
13869 *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
13870 that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
13871 But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
13872 forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
13873 to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
13874 updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
13876 *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
13877 generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
13878 body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
13879 message body again. [Rob Hartill]
13881 *) signal() replacement conflicted with a define on QNX (and potentially
13882 other platforms). Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#512
13884 Changes with Apache 1.2b10
13886 *) Allow HTTPD_ROOT, SERVER_CONFIG_FILE, DEFAULT_PATH, and SHELL_PATH
13887 to be configured via -D in Configuration. [Dean Gaudet] PR#449
13889 *) <VirtualHost _default_:portnum> didn't work properly. [Dean Gaudet]
13891 *) Added prototype for mktemp() for SUNOS4 [Marc Slemko]
13893 *) In mod_proxy.c, check return values for proxy_host2addr() when reading
13894 config, in case the hostent struct returned is trash.
13895 [Chuck Murcko] PR #491
13897 *) Fixed the fix in 1.2b9 for parsing URL query info into args for CGI
13898 scripts. [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
13900 Changes with Apache 1.2b9 [never announced]
13902 *) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
13903 changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
13905 *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
13906 the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop). Apache will now stop
13907 trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.
13908 [Roy Fielding and Nathan Kurz] PR#335
13910 *) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
13911 than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;
13912 rearranged other modules to enhance understanding of their purpose
13913 and relative order (and maybe even reduce some overhead).
13914 [Roy Fielding and Sameer Parekh]
13916 *) Fix graceful restart. Eliminate many signal-related race
13917 conditions in both forms of restart, and in SIGTERM. See
13918 htdocs/manual/stopping.html for details on stopping and
13919 restarting the parent. [Dean Gaudet]
13921 *) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include. Tune
13922 memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to
13923 be allocated. [Dean Gaudet]
13925 *) Allow suexec to access files relative to current directory but not
13926 above. (Excluding leading / or any .. directory.) [Ken Coar]
13929 *) Fix suexec segfault when group doesn't exist. [Gregory Neil Shapiro]
13930 PR#367, 368, 354, 453
13932 *) Fix the above fix: if suexec is enabled, avoid destroying r->url
13933 while obtaining the /~user and save the username in a separate data
13934 area so that it won't be overwritten by the call to getgrgid(), and
13935 fix some misuse of the pool string allocation functions. Also fixes
13936 a general problem with parsing URL query info into args for CGI scripts.
13937 [Roy Fielding] PR#339, 367, 354, 453
13939 *) Fix IRIX warning about bzero undefined. [Marc Slemko]
13941 *) Fix problem with <Directory proxy:...>. [Martin Kraemer] PR#271
13943 *) Corrected spelling of "authoritative". AuthDBAuthoratative became
13944 AuthDBAuthoritative. [Marc Slemko] PR#420
13946 *) MaxClients should be at least 1. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#375
13948 *) The default handler now logs invalid methods or URIs (i.e. PUT on an
13949 object that can't be PUT, or FOOBAR for some method FOOBAR that
13950 apache doesn't know about at all). Log 404s that occur in mod_include.
13951 [Paul Sutton, John Van Essen]
13953 *) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
13954 buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
13955 then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373
13957 *) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
13958 parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
13959 at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
13960 image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
13961 read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
13962 so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
13963 padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232
13965 *) Fixed SIGSEGV problem when a DirectoryIndex file is also the source
13966 of an external redirection. [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]
13968 *) Configure would create a broken Makefile if the configuration file
13969 contained a commented-out Rule. [Roy Fielding]
13971 *) Promote per_dir_config and subprocess_env from the subrequest to the
13972 main request in mod_negotiation. In particular this fixes a bug
13973 where <Files> sections wouldn't properly apply to negotiated content.
13976 *) Fix a potential deadlock in mod_cgi script_err handling.
13977 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13979 *) rotatelogs zero-pads the logfile names to improve alphabetic sorting.
13980 [Mitchell Blank Jr]
13982 *) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
13983 .htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
13984 Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
13985 <Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13987 *) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
13988 1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
13989 USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
13990 HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
13991 [Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340
13993 *) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
13994 request. [Dean Gaudet]
13996 *) Configure was finding non-modules on EXTRA_LIBS. [Frank Cringle] PR#380
13998 *) Use /bin/sh5 on ULTRIX. [P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia] PR#369
14000 *) Add UnixWare compile/install instructions. [Chuck Murcko]
14002 *) Add mod_example (illustration of API techniques). [Ken Coar]
14004 *) Add macro for memmove to conf.h for SUNOS4. [Marc Slemko]
14006 *) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
14009 *) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
14010 necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
14011 exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]
14013 *) More signed/unsigned port fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
14015 *) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
14018 Changes with Apache 1.2b8
14020 *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
14021 to it. [Marc Slemko]
14023 *) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
14024 sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
14025 the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
14027 *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
14028 signal is received. [Ken Coar]
14030 *) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
14031 spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
14032 are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
14033 about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
14034 now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
14036 *) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
14037 log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
14039 *) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
14041 *) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
14042 processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
14043 of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
14044 in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
14046 *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
14047 (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
14048 full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
14049 as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
14051 *) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
14053 *) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
14055 *) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
14057 *) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
14058 spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
14059 event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
14060 before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
14062 *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
14063 never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
14064 We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
14065 didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
14066 transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
14068 *) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
14069 Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
14070 the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
14071 We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
14072 ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
14073 while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
14075 *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
14076 to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
14078 *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
14079 connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
14080 of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
14081 improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
14082 be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
14083 is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
14084 responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
14085 accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
14087 *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
14088 and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
14089 resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
14090 requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
14091 continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
14092 send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
14093 around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
14094 propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
14096 *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
14099 *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
14100 name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
14101 info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
14104 *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
14105 new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
14107 *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
14108 name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
14110 *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
14111 initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
14113 *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
14114 file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
14116 *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
14118 *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
14119 to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
14121 *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
14122 fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
14124 *) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
14126 *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
14127 Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
14128 no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
14129 [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
14131 *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
14132 mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
14134 *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
14135 charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
14136 listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
14138 *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
14139 when nalloc==0. [Kai Risku <krisku tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]
14141 *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
14142 [Petr Lampa] PR#160
14144 *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
14147 *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
14148 due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
14150 *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
14151 since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
14153 *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
14154 not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
14155 [Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
14157 *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
14158 in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
14160 *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
14161 [Garey Smiley] PR #59
14163 *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
14164 path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
14166 *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
14167 and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
14168 other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
14169 with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
14171 *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
14172 AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
14173 redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
14174 RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
14175 special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
14176 can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
14177 time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
14179 *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
14180 Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
14181 place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
14182 with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
14183 in use. [Ben Laurie]
14185 *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
14186 initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
14187 comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
14189 *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
14190 caused a SEGV on some systems.
14192 *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
14195 *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
14197 *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
14198 introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
14199 [Dean Gaudet] PR #212
14201 Changes with Apache 1.2b7
14203 *) Port to UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]
14205 *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
14207 *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
14208 - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
14209 - save variant-list into main request notes
14210 - free allocated memory from subrequests
14211 - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
14213 *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
14214 "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
14217 *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
14218 - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
14219 - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
14220 - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
14221 - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
14222 specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
14223 on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
14224 perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
14225 - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
14228 *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
14229 after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
14232 *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
14233 character if the next character is one that needs
14234 escaping. [Ben Laurie]
14236 *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
14237 used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
14238 [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno tc.hsa.nl>]
14240 *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
14241 one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
14243 *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
14244 print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
14246 *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
14247 [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
14249 *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
14250 read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
14252 *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
14253 read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
14254 the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
14256 *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
14257 select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
14258 checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
14259 account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
14260 prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
14261 socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
14262 EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
14263 improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
14265 *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
14266 auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
14267 and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
14269 *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
14270 server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
14272 *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
14273 - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
14274 - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
14275 - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
14276 - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
14278 *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
14281 *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
14282 since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
14283 [Harald T. Alvestrand]
14285 *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
14286 [Ben Laurie, reported by <geddis tesserae.com>]
14288 *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
14289 http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
14290 [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]
14292 *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
14293 as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
14294 [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
14296 *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
14297 due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
14298 it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
14300 *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
14301 sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
14302 SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
14303 [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
14305 *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
14306 causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
14307 wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
14309 *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
14310 the clean environment on some systems.
14312 *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
14313 bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
14314 Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
14317 *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]

14320 [Mark Bixby <markb cccd.edu>]
14322 *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
14323 given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
14325 *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
14327 *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
14328 until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
14329 This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
14330 an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
14331 performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
14332 many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
14333 must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
14334 or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
14336 *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
14338 *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
14339 fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
14341 *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
14342 for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
14344 *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
14345 and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
14348 *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
14350 *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
14352 Changes with Apache 1.2b6
14354 *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]
14356 *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
14357 accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
14358 1.2b5 was never a public beta.
14360 Changes with Apache 1.2b5
14362 *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
14363 MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
14365 *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
14366 regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
14369 *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
14370 Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
14372 *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
14373 scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
14374 defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
14376 *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
14379 *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
14380 overflows. [Marc Slemko]
14382 *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
14383 as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
14385 *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
14388 *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
14389 to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
14390 continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
14392 *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
14393 than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
14395 *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
14398 *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
14399 CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
14401 *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
14404 *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
14405 when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
14408 *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
14409 recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
14410 be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
14412 - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
14413 directory and below.
14414 - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
14415 - restrict passed environment to known variables
14416 - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
14417 - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
14419 *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
14421 *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
14423 *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
14425 *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
14427 *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
14428 MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
14429 problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
14431 *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
14432 AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
14434 *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
14435 It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
14437 *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
14440 *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
14441 caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
14442 handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
14443 Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
14445 *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
14447 *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
14449 *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
14451 *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
14452 server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
14454 *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
14455 found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
14457 *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
14458 double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
14459 status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
14461 *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
14462 interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
14463 that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
14464 we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
14465 prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
14466 reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
14468 *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
14469 [<mgyger itr.ch>, Adrian Filipi-Martin]
14471 *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
14472 select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
14473 [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from <adrian virginia.edu>]
14475 *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
14476 continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
14477 would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
14478 count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
14479 are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
14481 *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
14482 Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
14483 Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
14485 *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
14487 Changes with Apache 1.2b4
14489 *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
14490 could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
14491 overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
14494 *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
14496 *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
14497 defined for some systems.
14499 *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
14502 *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
14503 style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
14505 *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
14506 execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
14508 *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
14510 *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
14512 Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
14514 *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
14515 freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
14517 *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
14519 *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
14522 *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
14524 *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
14525 ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
14527 *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
14528 currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
14529 control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
14530 those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
14531 allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
14534 *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
14535 the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
14537 *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
14539 *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
14540 1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
14541 2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
14542 3. CGI command lines paramters problems
14543 4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
14544 [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
14546 *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
14547 a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
14548 argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
14550 *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
14551 handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
14553 *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
14555 *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
14556 r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
14559 *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
14560 Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
14562 *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
14563 using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
14565 *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
14566 by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
14570 *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
14571 PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
14572 Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
14573 [later removed in 1.2b11]
14575 *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
14576 arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
14578 *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
14580 *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
14581 NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
14583 *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
14584 redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
14585 in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
14587 Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
14589 *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
14590 This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
14591 bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
14593 *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
14595 *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
14597 *) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
14598 1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
14599 2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
14600 host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
14601 and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
14602 3) Adds Host: header when not available
14603 4) Some code cleanup and clarification
14605 *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
14606 1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
14607 be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
14608 2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
14609 3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [<perrot lal.in2p3.fr>]
14610 4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
14611 [Ben Yoshino <ben wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
14612 5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
14615 *) Fix infinite loop when processing Content-language lines in
14616 type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]
14618 *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]
14620 *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
14621 for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]
14623 *) Added PORTING information file. [Jim Jagielski]
14625 *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]
14627 *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]
14629 *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
14630 USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.
14632 *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
14633 which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.
14635 *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
14636 http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]
14638 *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
14639 and portable isdigit() test. [Ben Laurie]
14641 *) Updated Configure for ...
14642 OS/2 (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
14643 *-dg-dgux* (bad pattern match)
14644 QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
14645 *-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
14647 *-unixware211 (new)
14648 and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
14650 *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
14651 for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
14653 *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
14654 SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
14655 SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
14656 SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
14657 IRIX64 (-sgi-irix64)
14658 ULTRIX (-unknown-ultrix)
14659 SINIX (-whatever-sysv4)
14660 NCR Unix (-ncr-sysv4)
14661 and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath [Ben Laurie]
14663 Changes with Apache 1.2b1
14665 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>
14667 Changes with Apache 1.1.1
14669 *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
14670 logfile for each access [Mark Cox]
14672 *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
14673 leak. [Nathan Neulinger]
14675 *) MultiViews now works correctly with AddHandler [Alexei Kosut]
14677 *) Problems with mod_auth_msql fixed [Dirk vanGulik]
14679 *) Fix misspelling of "Anonymous_Authorative" directive in mod_auth_anon.
14681 Changes with Apache 1.1.0
14683 *) Bring NeXT support up to date. [Takaaki Matsumoto]
14685 *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]
14687 *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
14688 [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]
14690 *) Allow ScanHTMLTitles to work with lowercase <title> tags. [Alexei Kosut]
14692 *) Fix missing address family for connect, also remove unreachable statement
14693 in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]
14695 *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.
14697 *) Bugs which were fixed:
14698 a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
14699 b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
14700 c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [<osm interguide.com>]
14701 d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [<jk tools.de>]
14703 Changes with Apache 1.1b4
14705 *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
14707 *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
14709 *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
14711 *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
14713 *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
14716 *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]
14718 *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.
14720 *) Actions now work with files of the default type.
14722 *) Bugs which were fixed:
14723 a) more mod_proxy bugs
14724 b) early termination of inetd requests
14725 c) compile warnings on several systems
14726 d) problems when scripts stop reading output early
14728 Changes with Apache 1.1b3
14730 *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
14731 various security holes found and that we could no longer support
14734 *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
14735 instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
14736 Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
14738 *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
14741 *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
14742 (No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
14744 *) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
14745 functions now available to modules.
14747 *) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
14750 *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
14751 special URL, a la mod_status.
14753 *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
14754 for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.
14756 *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.
14758 *) MSQL authentication module improvements.
14760 *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]
14762 *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication
14765 *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
14766 less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
14767 value. [Alexei Kosut]
14769 *) Bugs which were fixed:
14770 a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
14771 b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
14772 c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
14773 d) RefererIgnore problems
14774 e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
14775 Linux and elsewhere).
14777 Changes with Apache 1.1b2
14780 a) core dumps in mod_digest
14781 b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
14782 c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files
14784 Changes with Apache 1.1b1
14786 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>
14788 Changes with Apache 1.0.3
14790 *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
14791 query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
14794 *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
14795 directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
14798 *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
14800 *) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
14803 *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
14805 *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
14806 This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
14807 send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
14810 *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
14811 lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
14813 *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
14814 now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
14815 which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
14817 *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
14819 *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
14820 which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
14822 *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
14825 *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
14826 particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
14828 *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
14830 Changes with Apache 1.0.2
14832 *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
14833 a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
14835 *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
14838 *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
14839 setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
14840 broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
14841 for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
14843 *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
14846 *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
14848 *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
14849 one. [David Robinson]
14851 *) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
14853 Changes with Apache 1.0.1
14855 *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
14858 *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
14859 and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
14860 relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
14862 *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
14863 had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
14864 initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
14867 *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
14868 out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
14869 The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
14870 be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
14871 system failure. [Ben Laurie]
14873 *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
14875 Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
14877 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
14879 Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
14881 *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
14883 *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
14884 given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
14885 back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
14887 *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
14888 generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
14889 accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
14890 a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
14892 *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
14893 extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
14895 *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
14896 "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
14897 that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
14899 *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
14901 *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
14903 *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
14904 to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
14907 *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
14908 parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
14910 *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
14913 *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
14915 *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
14916 in redirects [David Robinson]
14918 Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
14920 *) Switched to new, simpler license
14922 *) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
14924 *) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
14926 *) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
14928 *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
14931 *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
14933 *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
14934 so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
14937 *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
14940 *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
14942 *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
14945 *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
14946 entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
14948 *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
14951 *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
14952 containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
14954 *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
14956 *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
14958 *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
14960 *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
14962 *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
14964 *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
14966 *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
14968 *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
14970 *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
14973 Changes with Apache 0.8.14 19 Sep 1995
14975 *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]
14977 *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]
14979 *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
14980 privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]
14982 *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
14983 that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
14986 *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
14987 is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]
14989 *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]
14991 Changes with Apache 0.8.13 07 Sep 1995
14993 *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]
14995 *) Have built-in imagemap code recognize & honor Point directive [James
14998 *) Generate cleaner directory listings in directories with a mix of
14999 long and short filenames [Rob Hartill]
15001 *) Properly initialize dynamically loaded modules [Royston Shufflebotham]
15003 *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]
15005 *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
15006 Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]
15008 *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
15009 allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
15010 if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]
15012 *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
15013 on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]
15015 *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
15018 *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]
15020 *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
15021 [Tobias Weingartner]
15023 Changes with Apache 0.8.12 31 Aug 1995
15025 *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
15026 too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
15027 subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
15028 after the entire document has been processed). [Robert Thau]
15030 *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off. (Ooops). [David Robinson]
15032 *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]
15034 *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
15035 same directory [David Robinson]
15037 *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
15038 causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
15039 *particular* index.html file) to fail. [David Robinson]
15041 *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
15042 authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
15043 client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
15044 needed here yet). [Robert Thau]
15046 *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]
15048 *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]
15050 *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
15051 requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
15052 do RFC931. [David Robinson]
15054 *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
15057 *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]
15059 *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]
15061 Changes with Apache 0.8.11 24 Aug 1995
15063 *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work. [Robert Thau]
15065 *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
15067 *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
15068 the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
15069 up to it. [Robert Thau]
15071 *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
15072 in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]
15074 *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
15075 "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
15077 *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
15078 other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
15080 *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
15081 [Florent Guillaume]
15083 *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
15084 --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
15085 (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
15086 icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
15089 *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
15092 *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
15095 *) Fixed English in the license language... "for for" --> "for".
15098 *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
15099 mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
15100 adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
15101 to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
15102 ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
15103 NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
15106 Changes with Apache 0.8.10 18 Aug 1995
15108 *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
15109 subdirectories. [David Robinson]
15111 *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
15112 using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
15113 not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
15114 if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
15115 lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris. [David Robinson;
15116 thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].
15118 Changes with Apache 0.8.9 12 Aug 1995
15120 *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]
15122 *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
15123 for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
15124 which try to print out the last-modified date). [Eric Hagberg/Robert
15127 *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
15128 URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
15129 else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility. (Note that
15130 this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
15131 code just by asking for it). [Robert Thau]
15133 *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
15136 *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
15137 then going insane [David Robinson]
15139 *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
15141 *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]
15143 *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
15144 workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
15145 if you still want the workaround). [Rob Hartill]
15147 *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
15148 content negotiation. (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
15149 for the new HTTP draft). [Florent Guillaume]
15151 *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]
15153 *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]
15155 *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
15158 *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
15159 paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]
15161 *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
15164 *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
15165 it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
15166 workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
15167 alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
15168 [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]
15170 *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]
15172 *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include. [Brian
15173 Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]
15175 *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
15177 *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]
15179 *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]
15181 Changes with Apache 0.8.8 08 Aug 1995
15183 *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
15184 requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
15185 people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
15188 (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
15189 SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
15190 -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES. Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
15191 with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
15194 *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
15195 to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.
15197 Changes with Apache 0.8.7 03 Aug 1995
15199 *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
15200 [reported by David Robinson]
15202 *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]
15204 *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
15205 experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
15208 Changes with Apache 0.8.6 02 Aug 1995
15210 *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
15211 (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
15212 couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]
15214 *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
15215 GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
15216 [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]
15218 *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala". [Reported by Chuck Murcko]
15220 *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
15221 not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
15222 and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable). On
15223 all other systems, these are never used anyway. [Reported by Mark Cox].
15225 *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.
15227 Changes with Apache 0.8.5 01 Aug 1995
15229 *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module
15231 *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
15232 properly. (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).
15234 *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
15235 It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
15236 If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
15237 comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
15238 spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).
15240 *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.
15242 *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX. A/UX is *weird*. [Eric Hagberg,
15245 *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].
15247 *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script. [Alexei Kosut]
15249 *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
15250 *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
15251 fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]
15253 *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
15254 legal disclaimer (everyplace).
15256 *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
15257 of everywhere else.
15259 Changes with Apache 0.8.4
15261 *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
15262 StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
15263 parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
15264 MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
15265 back-compatibility). The old names were generally regarded as
15266 too confusing. Also altered "docs" in sample config files.
15268 *) More improvements to default config files ---
15269 sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
15270 CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
15271 defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
15272 improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]
15274 *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
15275 Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
15276 [ Florent Guillaume ]
15278 *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
15281 *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
15282 do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
15285 *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]
15287 Changes with Apache 0.8.3
15289 *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
15290 procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
15293 *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
15294 recent NCSA distributions.
15296 *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
15297 exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault. [Reported
15300 *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]
15302 *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.
15304 *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
15305 preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
15306 reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]
15308 *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
15309 dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]
15311 *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
15312 instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
15313 deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address). Would be
15314 nice to have examples of new features...
15316 Changes with Apache 0.8.2 19 Jul 1995
15318 *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]
15320 *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found. [Mark Cox]
15322 *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory. It would
15323 be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
15324 just punt. [reported by Brian Behlendorf]
15326 *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
15327 is gone and we can reopen it. [reported by Randy Terbush]
15329 *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration
15331 *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
15334 *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
15335 module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
15336 an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]
15338 *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]
15340 *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]
15342 *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]
15344 *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
15347 Changes with Apache 0.8.1
15349 *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
15351 *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
15352 [Matthew Gray again]
15354 *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
15355 [Florent Guillaume]
15357 Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2) 16 Jul 1995
15359 *) New config script. See INSTALL for info. [Robert Thau]
15361 *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
15362 processes. MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
15363 for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different. (Actually,
15364 I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).
15366 Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
15367 the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
15368 connection. If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
15369 off. Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
15370 looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
15371 if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one. This
15372 does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
15373 The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
15374 /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
15375 descriptor (they need to seek without interference).
15377 The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
15378 servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
15379 off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
15380 these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
15381 reverting to the overhead of full forking operation. There is a
15382 hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
15383 avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
15384 (This is arguably too high).
15386 In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
15387 impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
15388 scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
15389 overhead than tmpfs). [Robert Thau]
15391 *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
15394 *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
15395 (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
15398 *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
15399 than trying to send no body *and* no headers. [Cliff Skolnick].
15401 *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
15402 mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
15403 handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
15404 but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
15407 *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
15408 it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
15409 up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]
15411 *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
15412 sa_client around; just declare it where used. [Robert Thau]
15414 *) Another acc-related fix. (It doesn't like const char
15415 in some places...). [Mark Cox]
15417 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1 13 Jul 1995
15419 *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
15420 Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.
15422 *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]
15424 *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
15425 over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
15426 believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
15427 a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*. Even *my*
15428 compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
15429 required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.
15431 *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
15432 servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
15433 [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].
15435 *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
15436 finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]
15438 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0 10 Jul 1995
15440 *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft. soft_timeout()s just put
15441 the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
15442 allow whatever handlers are running to clean up. hard_timeout()s
15443 abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
15444 resource pool cleanup will leak. They're still around because I
15445 haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
15446 timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client. The
15447 default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
15448 so I can test the feature. [Robert Thau]
15450 *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there. Note that
15451 the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
15452 gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
15453 the server will hang. (It is known to correctly restart the
15454 logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
15455 the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
15456 script). [Robert Thau]
15458 *) asis files supported (new module). [Robert Thau]
15460 *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested. (I
15461 don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]
15463 *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
15464 came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]
15466 *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]
15468 *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
15469 as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]
15471 *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
15472 the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]
15474 *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
15475 How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]
15477 *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
15478 default default type); the former default default behavior when all
15479 type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump. [Paul Sutton]
15481 *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
15482 directories. (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
15483 memory area every time). Fix is in mod_dir.c. [Paul Sutton]
15485 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]
15487 *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
15488 if the file was not found. [Cliff Skolnick].
15490 *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
15491 code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
15492 handler). [Cliff Skolnick]
15494 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2 06 Jul 1995
15496 *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
15497 games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
15498 children. Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
15499 the whole process group with them. Potential problem --- if any
15500 child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
15501 MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
15502 better than it did before this! [Robert Thau]
15504 *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
15505 work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
15506 properly terminated. [Mark Cox]
15508 *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
15509 should [Paul Sutton].
15511 *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
15512 Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]
15514 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1 04 Jul 1995
15516 *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
15517 registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
15518 tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
15519 terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
15522 *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
15523 which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
15524 registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
15525 child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->. CGI children now get
15526 started with exactly three file descriptors open. Hopefully,
15527 this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
15528 CGI connections. [Robert Thau]
15530 *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
15531 required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
15532 by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
15533 This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
15534 flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
15535 flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.
15537 This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
15538 process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
15539 on the other systems. [Robert Thau]
15541 *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]
15543 *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]
15545 *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]
15547 *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
15548 be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
15551 *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
15552 string) even if none came in with the request. [Robert Thau]
15554 *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).
15556 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5
15558 *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
15559 *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
15560 invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
15561 *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and
15562 configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
15563 "patchy server" releases) [rst]
15565 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4 30 Jun 1995
15567 *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
15568 *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]
15570 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3
15572 *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
15573 synonymous [rst, terbush]
15575 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1 28 Jun 1995
15577 *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
15578 reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
15579 *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
15580 allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
15581 be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
15582 find). Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools. [rst]
15583 *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
15584 *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
15585 *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]
15587 Changes with Shambhala 0.3 19 Jun 1995
15589 *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
15590 *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
15591 *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
15592 *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
15595 Changes with Shambhala 0.2
15597 *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
15598 *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
15599 *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures
15601 *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
15602 functions together [rst]
15603 *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
15605 *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]
15607 Changes with Shambhala 0.1 12 Jun 1995
15609 Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
15610 Robert Thau (rst). Significant portions of the server code, such
15611 as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
15612 were ripped out and rewritten from scratch. Code that was not
15613 completely rewritten was significantly altered.
15615 Major changes with this release include:
15617 *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central
15618 machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
15619 most of the work. Configuration handling is similar --- modules
15620 declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
15621 dispatches to them.
15623 API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
15624 Apache 1.0 and 1.1. (1.0 API features not yet present in this
15625 release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
15626 subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
15629 *) This release included the following modules:
15631 mod_access (access control --- allow and deny directives),
15632 mod_alias (Alias and Redirect commands),
15633 mod_auth (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
15634 mod_auth_dbm (same, with dbm files)
15635 mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
15636 mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
15637 mod_dir (directory indexing)
15638 mod_include (server-side includes)
15639 mod_mime (AddType directives)
15640 mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
15641 mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
15643 It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
15644 for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
15646 All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
15647 or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
15648 Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
15650 *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
15651 modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
15652 serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
15653 and mod_negotiation).
15655 *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
15656 files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
15657 code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
15658 replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
15659 the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
15660 allocated with palloc().
15662 *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
15663 request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
15664 unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
15665 attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
15666 --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
15667 setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
15669 *) Source files renamed and rearranged
15671 *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
15672 fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
15674 *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
15676 This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
15677 Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
15678 codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
15680 Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
15682 *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
15683 were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
15684 worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
15685 Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.

15701 *) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
15704 Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
