1 Changes with Apache 2.1.3
3 [Remove entries to the current 2.0 section below, when backported]
5 *) Remove some compiler warnings within the LDAP modules [Graham Leggett]
7 *) Add a build script to create a solaris package. [Graham Leggett]
9 *) ap_http_scheme() replaced with ap_http_method() - this function
10 returns the scheme (http v.s. https).
13 *) mod_proxy: Fix a request corruption problem and a buffering problem
14 which sometimes prevented proxy-sendchunks from working.
17 *) Fix the RPM spec file so that an RPM build now works. An RPM
18 build now requires system installations of APR and APR-util.
21 *) Significantly simplify the load balancer scheduling algorithm
22 for the proxy BalancerMember weighting. loadfactors (lbfactors)
23 are now normalized with respect to each other. [Jim Jagielski]
25 *) mod_dumpio: Added to the available module suite; it is an
26 I/O logging/dumping module. Placed in the (new) debug module
27 subdirectory. mod_bucketeer moved to that directory as well.
30 *) core: Add support for APR_TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT to defer accepting
31 of a connection until data is available.
34 *) conf: Remove AddDefaultCharset from the default configuration because
35 setting a site-wide default does more harm than good. PR 23421.
38 Changes with Apache 2.1.2
40 *) mod_proxy: Respect errors reported by pre_connection hooks.
43 *) worker MPM: Fix a problem which could cause httpd processes to
44 remain active after shutdown. [Jeff Trawick]
46 *) core: Error out on sections that are missing an argument instead of
47 silently consuming the section. PR 25460.
48 [Geoffrey Young, Paul Querna]
50 *) mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Move out of experimental.
52 *) Upgraded PCRE to version 5.0. [Brian Pane]
54 *) mod_cgid: Catch configuration problem where two web server instances
55 share same ServerRoot but admin forgot to use ScriptSock.
58 *) mod_cgi: Ensure that all stderr is logged for a script which returns
59 a Location header to generate a non-local redirect. PR 20111.
62 *) Added the Event MPM to more efficiently handle clients during a
64 [Paul Querna, Greg Ames]
66 Changes with Apache 2.1.1
68 *) mod_proxy_http: Stream content better - always flush buffered data to
69 the client before blocking waiting for new data. PR 19954.
72 *) mod_ssl: Add support for command-line option "-t -DDUMP_CERTS" which
73 will dump the filenames of all configured SSL certificates to stdout.
76 *) mod_disk_cache: Remove a bunch of non-implemented garbage collection
77 and cache size directives that are now available through htcacheclean.
80 *) Add htcacheclean to support/ for assistance with mod_disk_cache.
83 *) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
84 allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
85 search filter. [Brad Nicholes]
87 *) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
88 PR 29755. [Paul Querna]
90 *) Allow mod_authnz_ldap authorization functionality to be used
91 without requiring the user to also be authenticated through
92 mod_authnz_ldap. This allows other authentication modules to
93 take advantage of LDAP authorization only [PR 28253]
94 [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
96 *) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
97 connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error
98 generally means that the connection was dropped before data was
99 sent. Log the client IP address when reporting errors in the core
100 output filter. [Jeff Trawick]
102 *) Add ap_log_cerror() for logging messages associated with particular
103 client connections. [Jeff Trawick]
105 *) core: Add a warning message if the request line read fails.
108 *) mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreHeaders directive. PR 30399.
109 [Rüiger Plü <r.pluem t-online.de>]

112 core LimitInternalRecursion directive. [André Malo]
114 *) mod_auth_ldap: Handle the inconsistent way in which the MS LDAP
115 library handles special characters. PR 24437 [Jess Holle]
117 *) Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are
118 slow to exit. [Joe Orton, Jeff Trawick]
120 *) mod_info: Added listing of the Request Hooks and added more build
121 information like 'httpd -V' contains. Changed output to XHTML.
124 *) mod_info: Rewrote config tree walk using a recursive function.
125 Added ?config option. Added printout of config filename and line numbers.
126 [Rici Lake <rici ricilake.net>, Paul Querna]
128 *) mod_proxy: Fix type error that prevents proxy-sendchunks from working.
131 *) mod_proxy: Fix data corruption by properly setting aside buckets.
134 *) mod_proxy: If a request has a blank body and has a 0 Content-Length
135 headers, pass that to the proxy. [Justin Erenkrantz]
137 *) Recognize QSA flag in mod_rewrite again.
138 [Jan Kratochvil <rcpt-dev.AT.httpd.apache.org jankratochvil.net>]
140 *) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
141 The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
142 the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
143 auth modules. Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
144 handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module. The
145 authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
146 authorization. These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and
147 ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]
149 *) Fix some compiler warnings in proxy
150 [Geoffrey Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]
152 *) mod_ssl: Add SSL_CLIENT_V_REMAIN variable, representing the
153 number of days until the client cert expires. [Joe Orton]
155 *) Add test_config hook, run only if httpd is invoked using -t.
158 *) Improve error handling for corrupted pid files. [Jeff Trawick]
160 *) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD
161 (for backwards compatibility):
162 Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
163 use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x
166 *) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
167 [Jean Frederic Clere]
169 *) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
170 as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
171 is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]
173 *) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
176 *) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS(). [Justin Erenkrantz]
178 *) perchild MPM: Fix thread safety problem in the use of longjmp().
179 [Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO <nazonazo super.win.ne.jp>]
181 *) Add load balancer support to the scoreboard in preparation for
182 load balancing support in mod_proxy. [Mladen Turk]

185 allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
188 *) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
189 may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.
190 [Tom Alsberg <alsbergt cs.huji.ac.il>, Paul Querna]
192 *) ab: Handle long URLs with an error instead of an buffer overflow.
193 PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]
195 *) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
196 modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static
197 and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
200 *) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
201 that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403.
202 PR 10575. [Paul Querna]
204 *) mod_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
205 to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
206 testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]
208 *) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
209 ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
210 Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
212 *) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
213 [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
215 *) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
216 Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
217 ('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
220 *) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length
221 e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]
223 *) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
224 file name. PR 29003. [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]
226 *) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
227 OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
228 than the client's. PR 28665.
229 [Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
231 *) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
232 SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
235 *) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
236 even when Accept-Encoding is not present. [Justin Erenkrantz]
238 *) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
239 them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3. PR 28815
240 [Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
242 *) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
245 *) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
246 assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
249 *) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
250 the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
251 ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
252 and ap_process_resource_config. [André Malo]

287 for some third-party modules on platforms with small default
288 thread stack size. [Jeff Trawick]
290 *) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync. mod_auth_basic
291 now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
292 and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns

1720 *) Fixed a problem with mod_ldap which caused it to fault when caching
1721 was disabled. Needed to make sure that the code did not
1722 attempt to use the cache if it didn't exist. Also fixed some memory
1723 leaks which were due to not releasing LDAP resources on error
1724 conditions. [Brad Nicholes]

1847 *) Rename CacheMaxStreamingBuffer to MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer. Move
1848 implementation of MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer from mod_cache to
1849 mod_mem_cache. MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer now defaults to the
1850 lesser of 100,000 bytes or MCacheMaxCacheObjectSize. This should

1892 trying to perform "now + ((date - lastmod) * factor)" where

2254 *) Performance improvement for keepalive requests: when setting
2255 aside a small file for potential concatenation with the next
2256 response on the connection, set aside the file descriptor rather
2257 than copying the file into the heap. [Brian Pane]
2259 *) Modified version check on openssl so that it finds the executable
2260 first and then performs a check of the version, only warning the
2261 user if they chose, or we selected, an old version of OpenSSL.
2262 This change also allows the code to work for non-openssl libraries
2263 selected via the --with-ssl=dir option, which can override the
2264 automated library check in any case. [Roy Fielding]
2266 Changes with Apache 2.0.40
2268 *) SECURITY: CAN-2002-0661 (cve.mitre.org)
2269 Close a very significant security hole that
2270 applies only to the Win32, OS2 and Netware platforms. Unix was not
2271 affected, Cygwin may be affected. Certain URIs will bypass security
2272 and allow users to invoke or access any file depending on the system
2273 configuration. Without upgrading, a single .conf change will close
2274 the vulnerability. Add the following directive in the global server
2275 httpd.conf context before any other Alias or Redirect directives;
2276 RedirectMatch 400 "\\\.\."
2277 Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest sitoverde.com>.
2280 *) SECURITY: CAN-2002-0654 (cve.mitre.org)
2281 Close a path-revealing exposure in multiview type
2282 map negotiation (such as the default error documents) where the
2283 module would report the full path of the typemapped .var file when
2284 multiple documents or no documents could be served based on the mime
2285 negotiation. Reported by Auriemma Luigi <bugtest sitoverde.com>.
2288 *) SECURITY: CAN-2002-0654 (cve.mitre.org)
2289 Close a path-revealing exposure in cgi/cgid when we
2290 fail to invoke a script. The modules would report "couldn't create
2291 child process /path-to-script/script.pl" revealing the full path
2292 of the script. Reported by Jim Race <jrace qualys.com>.
2295 *) Set aside the apr-iconv and apr_xlate() features for the Win32
2296 build of 2.0.40 so development can be completed. A patch, from
2297 <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.0.40/>
2298 will be available for those that wish to work with apr-iconv.
2301 *) Fix proxy so that it is possible to access ftp: URLs via a proxy
2302 chain. [Peter Van Biesen <peter.vanbiesen vlafo.be>]
2304 *) mod-deflate now checks to make sure that 'gzip-only-text/html' is
2305 set to 1, so we can exclude things from the general case with
2306 browsermatch. [Ian Holsman, Andre Schild <A.Schild aarboard.ch>]
2308 *) Accept multiple leading /'s for requests within the DocumentRoot.
2309 PR 10946 [William Rowe, David Shane Holden <dpejesh yahoo.com>]
2311 *) Solved the reports of .pdf byterange failures on Win32 alone.
2312 APR's sendfile for the win32 platform collapses header and trailer
2313 buffers into a single buffer. However, we destroyed the pointers
2314 to the header buffer if a trailer buffer was present. PR 10781
2317 *) mod_ext_filter: Add the ability to enable or disable a filter via
2318 an environment variable. Add the ability to register a filter of
2319 type other than AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE. [Jeff Trawick]
2321 *) Restore the ability to specify host names on Listen directives.
2322 PR 11030. [Jeff Trawick, David Shane Holden <dpejesh yahoo.com>]
2324 *) When deciding on the default address family for listening sockets,
2325 make sure we can actually bind to an AF_INET6 socket before
2326 deciding that we should default to AF_INET6. This fixes a startup
2327 problem on certain levels of OpenUNIX. PR 10235. [Jeff Trawick]
2329 *) Replace usage of atol() to parse strings when we might want a
2330 larger-than-long value with apr_atoll(), which returns long long.
2331 This allows HTTPD to deal with larger files correctly.
2332 [Shantonu Sen <ssen apple.com>]
2334 *) mod_ext_filter: Ignore any content-type parameters when checking if
2335 the response should be filtered. Previously, "intype=text/html"
2336 wouldn't match something like "text/html;charset=8859_1".
2339 *) mod_ext_filter: Set up environment variables for external programs.
2340 [Craig Sebenik <craig netapp.com>]
2342 *) Modified the HTTP_IN filter to immediately append the EOS (end of
2343 stream) bucket for C-L POST bodies, saving a roundtrip and allowing
2344 the caller to determine that no content remains without prefetching
2345 additional POST body. [William Rowe]
2347 *) Get proxy ftp to work over IPv6. [Shoichi Sakane <sakane kame.net>]
2349 *) Look for OpenSSL libraries in /usr/lib64. [Peter Poeml <poeml suse.de>]
2351 *) Update SuSE layout. [Peter Poeml <poeml suse.de>]
2353 *) Changes to the internationalized error documents:
2354 Comment them out in the default config file to make the default
2355 install as simple as possible; Correct the english 500 error to
2356 be more understandable; Add a Swedish translation.
2357 [Thomas Sjogren <thomas northernsecurity.net>,
2358 Erik Abele <erik codefaktor.de>, Rich Bowen, Joshua Slive]
2360 *) Increase the limit on file descriptors per process in apachectl.
2363 *) Fix a dependency error when building ApacheMonitor, so that Win32
2364 and MSVC now trust that the project is current (when it is).
2365 [James Cox <imajes php.net>]
2367 *) mod_ext_filter: don't segfault if content-type is not set. PR 10617.
2368 [Arthur P. Smith <apsmith aps.org>, Jeff Trawick]
2370 *) APR-Util Renames pending have been completed [Thom May]
2372 *) Performance improvements for the code that reads request
2373 headers (ap_rgetline_core() and related functions) [Brian Pane]
2375 *) Add a new directive: MaxMemFree. MaxMemFree makes it possible
2376 to configure the maximum amount of memory the allocators will
2377 hold on to for reuse. Anything over the MaxMemFree threshold
2378 will be free()d. This directive is useful when uncommon large
2379 peaks occur in memory usage. It should _not_ be used to mask
2380 defective modules' memory use. [Sander Striker]
2382 *) Fixed the Content-Length filter so that HTTP/1.0 requests to CGI
2383 scripts would not result in a truncated response.
2384 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley]
2386 *) Add a filter_init parameter to the filter registration functions
2387 so that a filter can execute arbitrary code before the handlers
2388 are invoked. This resolves a problem where mod_include requests
2389 would incorrectly return a 304. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2391 *) Fix a long-standing bug in 2.0, CGI scripts were being called
2392 with relative paths instead of absolute paths. Apache 1.3 used
2393 absolute paths for everything except for SuExec, this brings back
2394 that standard. [Ryan Bloom]
2396 *) Fix infinite loop due to two HTTP_IN filters being present for
2397 internally redirected requests. PR 10146. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2399 *) Switch conn_rec->keepalive to an enumeration rather than a bitfield.
2402 *) Fix mod_ext_filter to look in the main server for filter definitions
2403 when running in a vhost if the filter definition is not found in
2404 the vhost. PR 10147 [Jeff Trawick]
2406 *) Support WinNT CGI invocation through ScriptInterpreterSource
2407 'registry' for script interpreter paths and names with non-ascii
2408 characters in the executable filepath. [William Rowe]
2410 *) Support the -w flag on to keep the Win32 console open on error.
2413 *) Normalize the hostname value in the request_rec to all-lowercase
2414 [Perry Harrington <pedward webcom.com>]
2416 *) Fix WinNT cgi 500 errors when QUERY_ARGS or other strings include
2417 extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format. This brings
2418 Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up
2419 to the cgi application itself. [William Rowe]
2421 *) Major overhaul of mod_dav, mod_dav_fs and the experimental/cache
2422 modules to bring them up to the current apr/apr-util APIs.
2425 *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache most frequently observed when
2426 serving the same file to multiple clients on an MP machine.
2429 *) mod_rewrite can now set cookies (RewriteRule (.*) - [CO=name:$1:.domain])
2430 [Brian Degenhardt <bmd mp3.com>, Ian Holsman]
2432 *) Fix perchild to work with apachectl by adding -k support to perchild.
2433 PR 10074 [Jeff Trawick]
2435 *) Fix a silly htpasswd.c logic error that incorrectly reported that
2436 both -c and -n had been used. PR 9989 [Cliff Woolley]
2438 *) Fixed a mod_include error case in which no HTTP response was sent
2439 to the client if an shtml document contained an unterminated SSI
2440 directive [Brian Pane]
2442 *) Improve ap_get_client_block implementation by using APR-util brigade
2443 helper functions and relying on current filter assumptions.
2446 Changes with Apache 2.0.39
2448 *) Fixed a build problem in htpasswd.c on Win32.
2449 [Guenter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>, Cliff Woolley]
2451 Changes with Apache 2.0.38
2453 *) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR. The removes the annoying warning about
2454 tmpnam being unsafe. [Ryan Bloom]
2456 *) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
2457 to be parsed for SSI tags. Add the config for that to the default
2458 config file so that it is easier to enable .shtml parsing.
2459 [Dave Dyer <ddyer real-me.net>]
2461 *) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix.
2462 [Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
2464 *) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
2465 another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory
2466 is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't
2467 loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2469 *) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
2470 PR 9866 [Brian Pane]
2472 *) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install
2473 into a directory different from the one that was configured. This
2474 also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=,
2475 because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at
2476 configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix
2477 to replace. [Andreas Hasenack <andreas netbank.com.br>]
2479 *) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
2480 These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
2481 accept(). [Jeff Trawick]
2483 *) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For
2484 certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
2485 should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
2486 mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick]
2488 *) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
2489 early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
2490 from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
2491 to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
2493 *) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
2494 Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
2496 *) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
2497 hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).
2500 *) Added log rotation based on file size to the RotateLog support
2501 utility. [Brad Nicholes]
2503 *) Fix some casting in mod_rewrite which broke random maps.
2504 PR 9770 [Allan Edwards, Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
2506 Changes with Apache 2.0.37
2508 *) allow POST method over SSL when per-directory client cert
2509 authentication is used with 'SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate' enabled
2510 and a client cert was found in the ssl session cache.
2512 *) 'SSLOptions +OptRengotiate' will use client cert in from the ssl
2513 session cache when there is no cert chain in the cache. prior to
2514 the fix this situation would result in a FORBIDDEN response and
2515 error message "Cannot find peer certificate chain"
2518 *) ap_finalize_sub_req_protocol() shouldn't send an EOS bucket if
2519 one was already sent. PR 9644 [Jeff Trawick]
2521 *) Fix the display of the default name for the mime types config
2522 file. PR 9729 [Matthew Brecknell <mbrecknell orchestream.com>]
2524 *) Fix the working directory *for WinNT/2K/XP services only* to
2525 change to the Apache directory (one level above the location
2526 of Apache.exe, in the case that Apache.exe resides in bin/.)
2527 Solves the case of ServerRoot /foo paths where /foo was not
2528 on the same drive as /winnt/system32. [William Rowe]
2530 *) Make 2.0's "AcceptMutex" startup message now "completely"
2531 match how 1.3 does it. [Jim Jagielski]
2533 *) Implement a fixed size memory cache using a priority queue
2536 *) Fix apxs to allow "apxs -q installbuilddir" and to allow
2537 querying certain other variables from config_vars.mk. PR 9316
2540 *) Added the "detached" attribute to the cgi_exec_info_t internals
2541 so that Win32 and Netware won't create a new window or console
2542 for each CGI invoked. PR 8387
2543 [Brad Nicholes, William Rowe]
2545 *) Consolidated the command line parameters and attributes that are
2546 manipulated by the optional function ap_cgi_build_command() in
2547 mod_cgi into a single structure.
2550 *) Get rid of uninitialized value errors with "apxs -q" on certain
2551 variables. [Stas Bekman <stas stason.org>]
2553 *) Fix apxs to allow it to work when the build directory is somewhere
2554 besides server-root/build. PR 8453
2555 [Jeff Trawick and a host of others]
2557 *) Allow ap_discard_request_body to be called multiple times in the
2558 same request. Essentially, ap_http_filter keeps track of whether
2559 it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
2560 send an EOS bucket for this request.
2561 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Greg Stein]
2563 *) Remove all special mod_ssl URIs. This also fixes the bug where
2564 redirecting (.*) will allow an SSL protected page to be viewed
2565 without SSL. [Ryan Bloom]
2567 *) Fix the binary build install script so that the build logic
2568 created by "apxs -g" will work when the user has a binary
2569 build. [Jeff Trawick]
2571 *) Allow instdso.sh to work with full paths to the shared module.
2574 *) NetWare: Enabled CGI functionality and added mod_cgi as a built
2575 in module for NetWare [Brad Nicholes]
2577 *) Changed cgi and piped log behavior to accept 65536 characters
2578 on Win32 (matching Linux) before deadlocking between outputing
2579 client stdin, slurping the output from stdout and then the stderr
2580 stream. PR 8179 [William Rowe]
2582 *) Fixed Win32 wintty.exe support to assure the window title is valid.
2583 Elimiates possible gpfault or garbage title without the -t option.
2586 *) Rewrite mod_cgi, mod_cgid, and mod_proxy input handling to use
2587 brigades and input filters. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2589 *) Allow ap_http_filter (HTTP_IN) to return EOS when there is no request
2590 body. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2592 *) NetWare: Piping log entries through RotateLogs using the
2593 CustomLogs directive is finally supported now that we have
2594 the pipes and spawning functionality working.

2609 *) Fix the TIME_* SSL var lookups to be threadsafe. PR 9469.
2612 *) Ensure that apr_brigade_write() flushes in all of the cases that
2613 it should to avoid conditions in some modules that could cause
2614 large amounts of data to be buffered. [Cliff Woolley]
2616 *) Fix problem where mod_cache/mod_disk_cache was incorrectly
2617 stripping the content_type from cached responses.
2620 *) apachectl passes through any httpd options. Note: apachectl
2621 should be used in preference to httpd since it ensures that any
2622 appropriate environment variables have been set up.
2625 *) Fix the combination of mod_cgid, mod_setuexec, and mod_userdir.

2646 from working on Unix. [Jeff Trawick]
2648 *) Add "-k start|restart|graceful|stop" support to httpd for the Unix

2667 *) The APLOG_NOERRNO flag to ap_log_[r]error() is now deprecated.
2668 It is currently ignored and it will be removed in a future release
2669 of Apache. [Jeff Trawick]
2671 *) Removed documentation references to the no-longer-supported

2673 certificates, if truly desired, can be generated using openssl
2674 commands. PR 8724. [Cliff Woolley]
2676 *) Remove SSLLog and SSLLogLevel directives in favor of having
2677 mod_ssl use the standard ErrorLog directives. [Justin Erenkrantz]
2679 *) OS/390: LIBPATH no longer has to be manually uncommented in
2680 envvars to get apachectl to set up httpd properly. [Jeff Trawick]
2682 *) mod_isapi: All mod_isapi directives, excluding ISAPICacheFile,
2683 may now be specified to the <File/Directory > container, rather
2684 than by vhost. [William Rowe]
2686 *) mod_isapi: Experimental support for faux async support for ISAPI

2689 *) mod_isapi: Major refactoring of the code to rely on apr internals
2690 rather than MS APIs (using our own mod_isapi.h headers for ISAPI
2691 symbol definitions.) [William Rowe]
2693 *) mod_isapi: Fixed the return string length from GetServerVariable
2694 callback, it was not including the trailing null in the consumed

2848 ap_uname2id. [Scott Lamb <slamb slamb.org>]
2850 *) Fix AcceptPathInfo. PR 8234 [Cliff Woolley]
2852 *) SECURITY: Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
2853 explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
2854 to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
2855 Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
2856 messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
2857 the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
2858 the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
2859 minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
2861 *) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would
2862 omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list
2863 would appear to the right of the column headings instead of
2864 underneath them. PR 8016 [David Shane Holden <dpejesh yahoo.com>]
2866 *) Moved the call to apr_mmap_dup outside the error branch so
2867 that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump
2868 at init everytime you use the MMapFile directive. PR 8314
2871 *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
2872 load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when
2873 switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
2875 *) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
2876 clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
2877 on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
2878 it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
2879 and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
2880 that requirement. [Sander Striker]
2882 *) Allow VPATH builds to succeed when configured from an empty

2891 *) Fix segfault in mod_mem_cache when garabge collecting an expired
2892 cache entry. [Bill Stoddard]
2894 *) Introduced -E startup_logfile_name option to httpd to allow admins
2895 to begin logging errors immediately. This provides Win32 users
2896 an alternative to sending startup errors to the event viewer, and
2897 allows other daemon tool authors an alternative to logging to stderr.

2983 "<!--#" occurs at the very end of a bucket
2984 [Paul Reder, Brian Pane]
2986 *) worker, prefork, perchild, beos MPMs: Add -DFOREGROUND switch to
2987 cause the Apache parent process to run in the foreground (similar to
2988 -DNO_DETACH except that it doesn't switch session ids).
2991 *) Added support for Posix semaphore mutex locking (AcceptMutex posixsem)
2992 for those platforms that support it. If using the default
2993 implementation, this is between pthread and sysvsem in priority.
2994 This implies it's the new default for Darwin. [Jim Jagielski]
2996 *) AIX: Fix the syntax for setting the LDR_CNTRL and AIXTHREAD_SCOPE
2997 environment variables in the envvars file. [Jeff Trawick]
2999 *) worker MPM: Don't create a listener thread until we have a worker
3000 thread. Otherwise, in situations where we'll have to wait a while
3001 to take over scoreboard slots from a previous generation, we'll be
3002 accepting connections we can't process yet. [Jeff Trawick]

3030 *) Made AB's use of the Host: header rfc2616 compliant
3031 by Taisuke Yamada <tai iij.ad.jp> [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
3033 *) The old, legacy (and unused) code in which the scoreboard was totally
3034 and completely contained in a file (SCOREBOARD_FILE) has been
3035 removed. This does not affect scoreboards which are *mapped* to
3036 files using named-shared-memory. [Jim Jagielski]
3038 *) Change bucket brigades API to allow a "bucket allocator" to be
3039 passed in at certain points. This allows us to implement freelists
3040 so that we can stop using malloc/free so frequently.
3041 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]

3073 *) Remove the single-byte socket reads for CGI headers [Brian Pane]
3075 *) When a proxied site was being served, Apache was replacing
3076 the original site Server header with it's own, which is not
3077 allowed by RFC2616. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
3079 *) Fix a mod_cgid problem that left daemon processes stranded
3080 in some server restart scenarios. [Jeff Trawick]
3082 *) Added exp_foo and rel_foo variables to config_vars.mk for
3083 all Apache and Autoconf path variables (like --sysconfdir,
3084 --sbindir, etc). exp_foo is the "expanded" version, which means
3085 that all internal variable references have been interpolated.
3086 rel_foo is the same as $exp_foo, only relative to $prefix if they
3087 share a common path. [Aaron Bannert]
3089 *) Fix some restart/terminate problems in the worker MPM. Don't
3090 drop connections during graceful restart. [Jeff Trawick]
3092 *) Change the header merging behaviour in proxy, as some headers
3093 (like Set-Cookie) cannot be unmerged due to stray commas in
3094 dates. [Graham Leggett]

3102 *) Upgraded PCRE library to latest version 3.9 [Brian Pane]
3104 *) Add accessor function to set r->content_type. From now on,

3121 stack, rather than buffering the response into memory. [Greg Stein]
3123 *) Fix a hang condition with graceful restart and prefork MPM
3124 in the situation where MaxClients is very high but
3125 much fewer servers are actually started at the time of the
3126 restart. [Jeff Trawick]
3128 *) Small performance fixes for mod_include [Brian Pane]
3130 *) Performance improvement for the error logger [Brian Pane]

3133 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT defined by default.
3134 according to sun people solaris 8+ doesn't have a thundering
3135 herd problem [Ian Holsman]
3137 *) Allow URIs specifying CGI scripts to include '/' at the end

3158 preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
3161 *) Add filehandle caching to mod_mem_cache. (see CACHE_FD

3171 *) Stop installing libtool for APR and tell APR where it should place
3172 its copy of libtool (via our installbuildpath layout variable).
3175 *) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
3176 when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy. [Graham Leggett]
3178 *) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
3179 should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
3180 transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the
3181 client. This prevents the backend server from being forced to hang
3182 around while the last few bytes are transmitted to a slow client.
3183 Fix the case where no error checking was performed on the final
3184 brigade in the loop. [Graham Leggett]
3186 *) Scrap CacheMaxExpireMin and CacheDefaultExpireMin. Change
3187 CacheMaxExpire and CacheDefaultExpire to use seconds rather than
3188 hours. [Graham Leggett, Bill Stoddard]
3190 *) New Directive SSIUndefinedEcho. to change the '(none)' echoed
3191 for a undefined variable. [Ian Holsman]
3193 *) Proxy HTTP and CONNECT: Keep trying other addresses from the DNS
3194 when we can't get a socket in the specified address family. We may
3195 have gotten back an IPv6 address first and yet our system is not
3196 configured to allow IPv6 sockets. [Jeff Trawick]

3203 [Dirk-Jan Faber <dirk-jan selwerd.nl>, Aaron Bannert,
3204 Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
3206 *) Rename the filter ordering priorities. The recent filtering fixes
3207 have showcased problems with their usage. Therefore, we need to
3208 rename them to increase the clarity. (CONTENT->RESOURCE,
3209 HTTP_HEADER->CONTENT_SET/PROTOCOL) [Justin Erenkrantz]
3211 Changes with Apache 2.0.33
3213 *) Fix a problem in the new --enable-layout functionality where
3214 it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
3215 --bindir, etc. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
3217 *) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
3218 no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before

3224 *) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
3225 this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
3226 running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
3227 server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
3229 *) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
3230 This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
3231 mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
3232 passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
3234 *) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
3235 ignored. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
3238 *) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
3239 --enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
3240 etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
3241 used instead. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
3244 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
3245 regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
3246 to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]
3248 *) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3250 *) Prevent Apache from ignoring SIGHUP due to some lingering 1.3
3251 cruft in piped logs and rewritemap child processes.
3254 *) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
3255 to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
3256 apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
3257 use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
3260 *) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.

3263 *) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
3264 [Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
3266 *) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules

3268 lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
3269 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
3271 *) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
3272 bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
3273 non-keepalive requests. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
3275 *) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
3276 file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers. [William Rowe]
3279 *) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
3280 multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
3281 controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
3282 process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
3283 as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
3284 [Jos Backus <josb cncdsl.com>, Aaron Bannert]
3286 *) Convert mod_auth_digest to use the new apr_global_mutex_t

3292 *) worker MPM: Improve logging of errors with the interface between
3293 the listener thread and worker threads. [Jeff Trawick]
3295 *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a
3296 single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers
3297 are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the
3298 client. [Graham Leggett]
3300 *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated
3301 header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the
3302 previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header
3303 values (like cookies) going missing.

3332 *) Add reference counting to mod_mem_cache cache objects to
3333 better manage removing objects from the cache.
3336 *) Change the verbage on the ScoreBoardFile in our default configs.
3337 Also change the default to be commented out (unspecified) so we
3338 get anonymous shared memory by default. [Aaron Bannert]
3340 *) Implement new ScoreBoardFile directive logic. This affects how
3341 we create the scoreboard's shared memory segment. If the directive
3342 is present, a name-based segment is created. If the directive is
3343 not present, first an anonymous segment is created, and if that
3344 fails, a name-based segment is created from a file of the name
3345 DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD. This gives third-party applications the
3346 ability to access our scoreboard. [Aaron Bannert]
3348 *) Allow mod_deflate to work with non-GET requests and properly send
3349 Content-Lengths. [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
3351 *) Fix ap_directory_merge() to correctly merge configs when there is
3352 no <Directory /> block. [Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
3354 *) Remove spurious debug messsages that are normal under HTTP
3355 keep-alive logic. [Jeff Trawick, Justin Erenkrantz]
3357 *) Fix a bug in mod_cgid that would prevent proper shutdown death
3358 of the cgid process. [Aaron Bannert]
3360 *) Add signal handling back in to the worker MPM for the one_process
3361 (-X, -DDEBUG, -DONE_PROCESS) case. [Aaron Bannert]
3363 *) Performance: Reuse per-connection transaction pools in the
3364 worker MPM, rather than destroying and recreating them. [Brian Pane]
3366 *) Remove all signals from the worker MPM's child process. Instead,
3367 the parent uses the Pipe of Death for all communication with the
3368 child processes. [Ryan Bloom]
3370 Changes with Apache 2.0.32
3372 *) mod_negotiation: ForceLanguagePriority now uses 'Prefer' as the
3373 default if the directive is not specified. This mirrors older
3374 behavior without changes to the httpd.conf. [William Rowe]
3376 *) Win32: solve the win32 service problems in 2.0.31-alpha, by fixing
3377 the service, mpm and logging code, and bugs in apr_file_open_stderr
3378 and apr_file_dup2 functions. Win2K/XP services have no handles
3379 associated for stdin/out/err, which caused unpredictable behavior
3380 in the prior release. [William Rowe, Bill Stoddard]
3382 *) Win32: simplify the Application Event Log messages, since there isn't
3383 likely to be 'more information in the error log' before an error log
3384 has been opened. [William Rowe]
3386 *) Win32: substantial cleanup to the mpm_winnt code for legibility and
3387 to follow the program flow of other MPMs. [Ryan Bloom, William Rowe]
3389 *) Win32: apache -k shutdown now behaves like apache -k stop.
3392 *) Fix prefork to not kill the parent if a child hits a resource shortage
3393 on accept(). [Greg Ames]
3395 *) Fix seg faults that occur when what should be the httpd request line
3396 starts with \r\n followed by garbage. [Greg Ames]
3398 *) Allow statically linked support binaries with the new
3399 --enable-static-support flag, and enable this behavior in
3400 the binbuild script. Also add a new --enable-static-htdbm
3401 flag. [Aaron Bannert]
3403 *) Allow mod_autoindex to serve symlinks if permitted and attempt to
3404 do only one stat() call when generating the directory listings.
3407 *) Fix resolve_symlink to save the original symlink name if known.
3410 *) Be a bit more sane with regard to CanonicalNames. If the user has
3411 specified they want to use the CanonicalName, but they have not
3412 configured a port with the ServerName, then use the same port that
3413 the original request used. [Ryan Bloom and Ken Coar]
3415 *) In core_input_filter, check for an empty brigade after
3416 APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE(). Otherwise, we can get segfaults if a
3417 client says it will post some data but we get FIN before any
3418 data arrives. [Jeff Trawick]
3420 *) Not being able to bind to the socket is a fatal error. We should
3421 print an error to the console, and return a non-zero status code.
3422 With these changes, all of the Unix MPMs do that correctly.
3425 *) suexec: Allow HTTPS and SSL_* environment variables to be passed
3426 through to CGI scripts. PR 9163
3427 [Brian Reid <breid customlogic.com>,
3428 Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
3430 *) binbuild.sh: Make sure that we use the expat from our source
3431 tree so that there aren't any surprises on the target machine.
3434 *) mod_cgid: Add retry logic for when the daemon can't fork fast
3435 enough to keep up with new requests. Start using
3436 HTTP_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE instead of HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
3437 when we can't talk to the daemon. [Jeff Trawick]
3439 *) apxs: LTFLAGS envvar can override default libtool options. Try
3440 "LTFLAGS=' ' apxs -c mod_foo.c" to see what libtool does under
3441 the covers. [Jeff Trawick]
3443 *) The Location: response header field, used for external
3444 redirect, *must* be an absoluteURI. The Redirect directive
3445 tested for that, but RedirectMatch didn't -- it would allow
3446 almost anything through. Now it will try to turn an abs_path
3447 into an absoluteURI, but it will correctly varf like Redirect
3448 if the final redirection target isn't an absoluteURI. [Ken Coar]
3450 Changes with Apache 2.0.31
3452 *) Create the scoreboard (in the parent) in a global pool context,
3453 so it survives graceful restarts. This fixes a SEGV during
3454 graceful restarts. [Aaron Bannert]
3456 *) Add a timeout option to the proxy code 'ProxyTimeout'
3459 *) FTP directory listings are now always retrieved in ASCII mode.
3460 The FTP proxy properly escapes URI's and HTML in the generated
3461 listing, and escapes the path components when talking to the FTP
3462 server. It is now possible to browse the root directory by using
3463 a url like: ftp://user@host/%2f/ (ported from apache_1.3.24)
3464 Also, the last path component may contain wildcard characters
3465 '*' and '?', and if they do, a directory listing is created instead
3466 of a file retrieval. Example: ftp://user@host/httpd/server/*.c
3469 *) Added single-listener unserialized accept support to the
3470 worker MPM [Brian Pane]
3472 *) New Directive for mod_proxy: 'ProxyPreserveHost'. This passes
3473 the incoming host header through to the proxied server
3474 [Geoff <g.russell ieee.org>]
3476 *) New Directive Option for ProxyPass. It now can block a location
3477 from being proxied [Jukka Pihl <jukka.pihl entirem.com>]
3479 *) Don't let the default handler try to serve a raw directory. At
3480 best you get gibberish. Much worse things can happen depending
3481 on the OS. [Jeff Trawick]
3483 *) Change the pre_config hook to return a value. Modules can now emit
3484 an error message and then cause the server to quit gracefully during
3485 startup. This required a bump to the MMN. [Aaron Bannert]
3487 *) Fix some unix socket descriptor leaks in the handler side of
3488 mod_cgid (the part that runs in the server process). Whack a
3489 silly "close(-1)" in the handler too. [Jeff Trawick]
3491 *) Change the pre_mpm hook to return a value, so that scoreboard
3492 init errors percolate up to code that knows how to exit
3493 cleanly. This required a bump to the MMN. [Jeff Trawick]
3495 *) Add the socket back to the conn_rec and remove the create_connection
3496 hook. The create_connection hook had a design flaw that did not
3497 allow creating connections based on vhost info. [Bill Stoddard]
3499 *) Fixed PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING from mod_negotiation results.
3500 Resolves the common case of using negotation to resolve the request
3501 /script/foo for /script.cgi/foo. [William Rowe]
3503 *) Added new functions ap_add_(input|output)_filter_handle to
3504 allow modules to bypass the usual filter name lookup when
3505 adding hard-coded filters to a request [Brian Pane]
3507 *) caching should now work on subrequests (still very experimental)
3510 *) The Win32 mpm_winnt now has a shared scoreboard. [William Rowe]
3512 *) Change ap_get_brigade prototype to use apr_off_t instead of apr_off_t*.
3515 *) Refactor ap_rgetline so that it does not use an internal brigade.
3516 Change ap_rgetline's prototype to return errors. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3518 *) Remove mod_auth_db. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3520 *) Do not install unnecessary pcre headers like config.h and internal.h.
3521 [Joe Orton <joe manyfish.co.uk>]
3523 *) Change in quick_hanlder behavior for subrequests. it now passes DONE
3524 (as it does for a normal request). quick_handled sub-requests now work
3525 in mod-include [Ian Holsman]
3527 *) Change SUBREQ_CORE so that it is a 'HTTP_HEADER' filter instead of
3528 'CONTENT' one, as it needs to run AFTER all content headers
3530 *) Rename BeOS MPM directive RequestsPerThread to MaxRequestsPerThread.
3533 *) Split out blocking from the mode in the input filters.
3536 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
3538 *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in
3539 Apache to the main server error log, until the child can
3540 open its own error logs. [William Rowe]
3542 *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept()
3543 returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. (ported from th 1.3 patch)
3544 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>, Bill Stoddard]
3546 *) Fix a problem in the parsing of the <Proxy foo> directive.
3549 *) rewrite of mod_ssl input filter for better performance and less
3550 memory usage [Doug MacEachern]
3552 *) allow quick_handler to be run on subrequests. [Ian Holsman]
3554 *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the
3555 filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider
3556 API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein]
3558 *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure
3559 we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails.
3560 This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process
3561 the returned socket if it was non-NULL. [Brian Pane]
3563 *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter
3564 to avoid segfaults. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
3566 *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what
3567 data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs. MMN
3568 bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of
3569 the core_dir_config structure. [Ken Coar]
3571 *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the
3572 wrong config to ap_get_remote_host(). [Jeff Trawick]
3574 *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by
3575 using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of
3578 *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when
3579 the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
3581 *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core,
3582 mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable
3583 modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former
3584 compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule
3585 directives. [William Rowe]
3587 *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by
3588 duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include
3589 directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe]
3591 *) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL:
3592 Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL
3593 structures wherever possible.
3594 Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer.
3595 Add $SSL/include to configure search path.
3596 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
3598 *) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is
3599 more portable, and will present the vhost name across server
3600 generation restarts. [William Rowe]
3602 *) Fix SSLPassPhraseDialog exec: and SSLRandomSeed exec:
3605 Changes with Apache 2.0.30
3607 *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are
3608 still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now
3609 run without crashing the machine.
3610 [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
3612 *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section.
3613 [albert chin <china thewrittenword.com>]
3615 *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections
3616 and handling CONNECT:
3617 (1) PR #9190 Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts.
3618 (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by
3619 the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was.
3622 *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core
3623 modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously
3624 listed as config_log_module). PR #9338
3625 [James Watson <ap2bug sowega.org>]
3627 *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP
3628 filter. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3630 *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns
3631 an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line.
3634 *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the
3635 end of the status line returned from the proxied server.
3636 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
3638 *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read().
3639 [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard]
3641 *) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing.
3644 *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman]
3646 *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent
3647 returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases,
3648 when using Multiviews. [William Rowe]
3650 *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working
3651 together reliably [Greg Ames]
3653 *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config
3654 phase. [Aaron Bannert]
3656 *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause
3657 problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs.
3660 *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during
3661 child process exits. [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert]
3663 *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
3665 *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4
3666 vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of
3667 that address. [Jeff Trawick]
3669 *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm
3670 used to find "<!--#" tokens in mod_include [Brian Pane]
3672 *) Miscellaneous small performance fixes: optimized away various
3673 string copy operations and removed large temp buffers from
3674 the stack [Brian Pane]
3676 *) Fixed startup segfault that occurred when a VirtualHost
3677 directive had a port but no address [Brian Pane]
3679 *) Allow htdbm to work with multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman]
3681 *) Win32: Made change to apr_sendfile() to return APR_ENOTIMPL
3682 if oslevel < WINNT. This should fix several problems reported
3683 Against 2.0.28 on Windows 98 [Bill Stoddard]
3685 *) Win32: Fix bug that could cause CGI scripts with QUERY_STRINGS
3686 to fail. [Bill Stoddard]
3688 *) Change core code to allow an MPM to set hard thread/server
3689 limits at startup. prefork, worker, and perchild MPMs now have
3690 directives to set these limits. [Jeff Trawick]
3692 *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
3693 successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
3694 eliminates a number of spurious
3695 setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
3698 *) Move any load library path environment variables out of
3699 apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
3700 can be more easily tailored by the admin. The environment
3701 variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
3702 specific settings. For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
3703 settings to allow lots of threads. [Jeff Trawick]
3705 *) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
3706 contention in the worker MPM. [Sander Striker]
3708 *) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
3709 and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
3710 perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
3711 had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
3712 127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
3713 messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
3716 *) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
3717 avoid locking problems with NFS. [Jeff Trawick]
3719 *) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
3720 [Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
3722 *) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
3723 working with more than one vhost/uid. [Aaron Bannert]
3725 *) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to
3726 perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install
3727 mod_foo.so. This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX
3728 which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
3731 *) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
3732 our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
3733 loading third-party modules. This allows third-party DSOs to
3734 be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
3735 built as DSOs. (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
3738 *) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
3739 user to hard-code the list of import files. (This should help
3740 on OS/390 and BeOS as well.) [Jeff Trawick]
3742 *) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.
3743 PR 8563, 8919 [William Rowe]
3745 *) Get binary builds working when libapr and libaprutil are built
3748 *) Get shared builds of libapr and libaprutil, as well as Apache DSOs,
3749 working on AIX. [Aaron Bannert, Dick Dunbar <RLDunbar pacbell.net>,
3750 Gary Hook <ghook us.ibm.com>, Victor Orlikowski, Jeff Trawick]
3752 *) Fix the handling of SSI directives in which the ">" of the
3753 terminating "-->" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane]
3755 *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)"
3756 message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered
3757 throughout our docs. [Aaron Bannert]
3759 *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an
3760 error in the command line args to apache. [William Rowe]
3762 *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log
3765 *) Various mod_ssl performance improvements [Doug MacEachern]
3767 Changes with Apache 2.0.29
3769 *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
3770 lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
3771 [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]
3773 *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is
3774 installed in the correct location.
3775 [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
3776 Gomez Henri <hgomez slib.fr>]
3778 *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing
3779 a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
3780 the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this,
3781 I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
3782 in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify
3783 the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]
3785 *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
3786 to flag a error while opening logs
3787 [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]
3789 *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
3790 to flag a error post config
3791 [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]
3793 *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
3794 hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
3795 script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter. [Aaron Bannert]
3797 *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
3800 *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.
3801 [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]
3803 *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
3804 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
3806 *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is
3807 configured [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
3809 *) Fix apxs to use sbindir. [Henri Gomez <hgomez slib.fr>]
3811 *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts. PR #8118 [Jeff Trawick]
3813 *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in
3814 mod_include. [Brian Pane]
3816 *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive.
3817 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>, Cliff Woolley] PR#8804
3819 *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed. Use the worker
3820 MPM instead. [various]
3822 *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id. This fixes a bug
3823 in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup. [Jeff Trawick]
3825 *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123.
3828 *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error.
3831 *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include. When we include a
3832 file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request
3833 immediately, instead we waited until the original request was
3834 done. This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is
3835 done being generated. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3837 *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to
3838 define the function that should be used to accept on that
3839 socket. Each MPM can define their own function to use for
3840 the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro. This
3841 also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling
3842 logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs.
3845 *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted
3846 when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required
3847 filters were attached to the wrong request_rec.
3848 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
3850 *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define
3851 directives that are used by MPMs. Prior to this patch,
3852 you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike
3853 the macros for any other directives. Now, the caller provides
3854 the comma rather than the macro providing it. This makes
3855 the macros look more like the rest of the directives.
3856 [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley]
3858 *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending
3859 redirects under special circumstances. This is helpful for
3860 Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via
3861 DAV methods. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3863 *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer.
3864 The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec,
3865 the server now lives in a context that is passed to the
3866 core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very
3867 careful when adding calls that use the socket directly,
3868 because the socket isn't available in most locations.
3871 *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded
3872 when the configured value is not a multiple of the number
3873 of threads per child. We said we did previously but we
3874 forgot to. [Jeff Trawick]
3876 *) Add Debian layout. [Daniel Stone <daniel sfarc.net>]
3878 *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available,
3879 produce a fatal config-time error. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3881 *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to
3882 do. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3884 *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix)
3885 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3887 Changes with Apache 2.0.28
3889 *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c.
3890 [Dale Ghent <daleg elemental.org>, Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3892 *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the
3893 server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for
3894 run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on
3895 SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of
3896 UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections
3897 work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the
3898 connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName
3899 setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated
3900 to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
3902 *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in
3903 the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman]
3905 *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and
3906 AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard
3907 MPMs. [Cliff Woolley]
3909 *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization
3910 databases. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
3912 *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk.
3913 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3915 Changes with Apache 2.0.27
3917 *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template
3918 (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3920 *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could
3921 be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests
3922 from the core input filter for single lines are now limited
3923 to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes). [Aaron Bannert]
3925 *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header.
3926 The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for
3927 the port string. [Zvi Har'El <rl math.technion.ac.il>]
3929 *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result
3930 in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged. Now we log the
3931 error. [Jeff Trawick]
3933 *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time
3934 validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive.
3937 *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is
3938 treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error;
3939 and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without
3940 APR_HAS_DSO. [Aaron Bannert]
3942 *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket
3943 gets disconnected unexpectedly. [Cliff Woolley]
3945 *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die. This removes
3946 all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache.
3947 [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]
3949 *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in
3950 mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at
3951 server graceful restart, when the child process exits
3952 by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child
3953 process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard]
3955 *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was
3956 not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable
3957 the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon
3958 the old child starting shutdown.
3961 *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that
3962 IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing
3963 and thus always returning "nobody."
3964 [Dick Streefland <Dick.Streefland xs4all.nl>]
3966 *) Introduced thread saftey for mod_rewrite's internal cache.
3967 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
3969 *) Simplified mod_env's directives to behave as most directives are
3970 expected, in that UnsetEnv will not unset a SetEnv and PassEnv
3971 directive following that UnsetEnv within the same container.
3972 Also provides a runtime startup warning if a PassEnv configured
3973 environment value is undefined. [William Rowe]
3975 *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It
3976 uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes,
3977 and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert]
3979 *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated
3980 Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
3982 *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project
3985 *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This
3986 is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to
3987 deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick]
3989 *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin
3990 server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules
3991 to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module
3992 is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add
3993 input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While
3994 I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request
3995 creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be
3996 greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom]
3998 Changes with Apache 2.0.26
4000 *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded
4003 *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works
4004 with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4006 *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator
4007 to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename
4008 extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with
4009 MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions
4010 that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.)
4011 or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even
4012 if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe]
4014 *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to
4015 the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled
4016 as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4018 *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering
4019 system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4021 *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but
4022 not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick]
4024 *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared.
4025 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4027 *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations
4028 required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes.
4029 Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section
4030 merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and
4031 precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip
4032 the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe]
4034 *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other
4035 WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
4037 *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive
4038 is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to
4039 listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended
4040 to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the
4041 ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it
4042 reports the port that it is listening on. This change was
4043 made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port
4044 directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server
4045 would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command,
4046 which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom]
4048 *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32
4049 build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe]
4051 *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified,
4052 then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are.
4053 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4055 *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu
4056 and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions.
4057 [Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106 uni-bonn.de>, Lars Eilebrecht]
4059 *) Eliminate the depreciated r->content_language, in favor of the array
4060 r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must
4061 substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded
4062 if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe]
4064 *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13.
4067 *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize
4068 code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and
4069 ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4071 *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family.
4074 *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the
4075 current SDK.) [William Rowe]
4077 *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed
4078 config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett]
4080 *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version
4081 of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be
4082 relocated. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4084 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
4085 of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox]
4087 *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum
4088 number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of
4089 specifying the maximum number of child processes.
4090 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4092 *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to
4093 be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4095 *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds.
4096 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4098 *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers.
4099 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
4101 *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4103 *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings
4104 to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time.
4105 [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4107 *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may
4108 improve cache-hit performance under some conditions.
4109 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4111 *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that
4112 support it. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4114 *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction
4115 pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools
4116 around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the
4117 queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to
4118 state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated
4119 segments for. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4121 *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4123 *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body.
4126 *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead
4127 property management. [Greg Stein]
4129 *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and
4130 roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable
4131 ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe]
4133 *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm
4134 to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4136 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an
4137 internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus
4138 string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom]
4140 *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes
4141 now reuse previous section merges on a <Location > by <Location >
4142 basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk.
4145 *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made
4146 us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected
4147 URI, instead of the originally requested URI.
4148 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
4150 *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to
4151 compute variables. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4153 *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should
4154 log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging
4155 the file size. [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
4157 *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather
4158 than per character. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4160 *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to
4161 run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in
4162 robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe]
4164 *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set
4165 (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
4167 *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other
4168 part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4170 *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only].
4171 This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32
4172 platform, which is the recommended configuration for native
4173 Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for
4174 cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj <tolj wapme-systems.de>]
4176 *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters
4177 must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.)
4178 The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent
4179 container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in <Directory /web/foo>
4180 will override any SetInputFilter directive in <Directory /web>.)
4181 This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter
4182 directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases
4183 where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the
4184 global configuration if the multiple directives were nested.
4187 *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething
4188 was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or
4189 Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType,
4190 but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given
4191 for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html
4192 without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to
4193 use the default content type. [William Rowe]
4195 *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache
4196 code. [Graham Leggett]
4198 Changes with Apache 2.0.25
4200 *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so
4201 that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document
4202 root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection
4203 into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer]
4205 *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using
4206 mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified
4207 user attributes in a page like so:
4208 Hello <!--#echo var="AUTHENTICATE_CN"-->, how are you?
4211 *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
4212 transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
4213 [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4215 *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
4216 of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
4217 not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
4218 an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
4219 an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
4220 won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
4221 requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
4222 .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
4225 *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
4226 and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
4227 filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
4230 *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
4231 keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
4233 *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
4234 macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
4235 by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
4236 the code to check the return code from the macro and
4237 do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder]
4239 *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
4242 *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
4243 up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
4245 *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
4246 amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
4247 longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
4248 hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
4250 *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
4251 ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
4252 walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
4253 with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
4254 either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
4255 only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
4258 *) SECURITY: Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
4259 an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
4260 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
4262 *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
4263 the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
4264 shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
4265 directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c.
4268 *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter
4269 if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler.
4270 This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier
4271 to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3
4272 config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP
4273 to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom]
4275 *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always
4276 get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks
4277 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
4278 Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
4280 *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also
4281 cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using
4282 pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert <aaron clove.org>]
4284 *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock
4286 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
4288 *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error
4289 codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the
4290 include handler return code wasn't being checked.
4291 I don't like macros with returns, so I converted
4292 SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function.
4293 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
4295 *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured
4296 [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
4298 *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time
4299 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>]
4301 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no
4302 associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for
4303 a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick]
4305 *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick]
4307 *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy
4308 of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the
4309 call to ap_log_pid solves the problem.
4311 *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the
4312 status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more
4313 common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe]
4315 *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets
4316 (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error
4317 messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe]
4319 *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard]
4321 *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap
4322 configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf
4325 *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
4328 *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache.
4329 Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds
4330 not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately.
4333 *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP
4334 module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett]
4336 *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now
4337 cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up.
4340 *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include
4341 patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate
4342 more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed.
4345 *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap.
4346 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
4348 *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap.
4349 [Dave Carrigan <dave rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
4351 *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest
4352 by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not
4353 met. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4355 Changes with Apache 2.0.24
4357 *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at
4358 offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick]
4360 *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is
4361 reached. [Jeff Trawick]
4363 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line
4364 builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions.
4365 Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users.
4368 *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better
4369 reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the
4370 default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe]
4372 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm
4373 compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites.
4374 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>, William Rowe]
4376 *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20.
4377 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
4379 *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage
4380 and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe]
4382 *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server
4383 processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and
4384 using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this
4385 combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server
4386 processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security
4387 issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
4389 *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries
4390 (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe]
4392 *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time.
4393 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4395 *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax
4396 for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive
4397 allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or
4398 RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the
4399 setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006,
4400 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar]
4402 *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c
4403 are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards
4404 in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU
4405 make). [Jeff Trawick]
4407 *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
4409 *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all
4410 MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This
4411 should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once.
4412 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4414 *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a
4415 graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor.
4418 *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast
4419 the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit
4420 integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times.
4421 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net> and Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4423 *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you
4424 told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified
4425 time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time,
4426 so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing
4427 had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute
4428 time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we
4429 need to convert to usec's before using those values.
4432 *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It
4433 definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly.
4434 The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to
4435 just die. [Ryan Bloom]
4437 Changes with Apache 2.0.23
4439 *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various]
4441 *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32.
4442 [Mladen Turk <mturk mappingsoft.com>]
4444 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for
4445 messages written to the rewrite log.
4446 [Richard Labennett <rlabenn us.ibm.com>]
4448 *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the
4449 IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting
4450 still drops the column sort <a href>'s for the column headers, but
4451 IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely.
4454 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2]
4455 to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable
4456 formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and
4457 P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments
4458 were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M
4459 as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending.
4462 *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which
4463 caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes
4464 to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley]
4466 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to
4467 drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the <hr> elements,
4468 and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies
4469 FancyIndexing). [William Rowe]
4471 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified
4472 from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given
4473 multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified
4474 stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many
4475 Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing
4476 files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe]
4478 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst
4479 and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10.
4480 [William Rowe, Ken Coar]
4482 *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache
4483 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe]
4485 *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in
4486 an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized
4487 the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'.
4490 *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept
4491 negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting
4492 to an autoindex of the directory. mod_negotiation will now die
4493 with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames
4494 (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served. mod_negotation now
4495 refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't
4496 recognize, and wasn't part of the request. [William Rowe]
4498 *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file
4499 extension. This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin
4500 wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and
4501 associate .exe files with that content type. Multiviews must be
4502 enabled to allow these to be served. [William Rowe]
4504 *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload
4505 or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes
4506 when they are available. [Greg Ames]
4508 *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to
4509 implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a
4510 fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is
4511 only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom]
4513 *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in
4514 the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then
4515 the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to
4516 stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error.
4519 *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands
4520 and have those methods <limit>able in the httpd.conf. It uses
4521 the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods
4522 such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to
4523 an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than
4524 an int provides. [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4526 *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible
4527 cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe]
4529 *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with
4530 help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall,
4531 Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli hp.com>,
4532 Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley]
4534 *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's.
4535 Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't
4536 count workers in processes which aren't actively
4537 serving requests. [Greg Ames]
4539 *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard]
4541 *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is
4542 definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many
4543 of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a
4544 modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom]
4546 *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer
4547 compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0
4548 Transitional specifications. [William Rowe]
4550 Changes with Apache 2.0.22
4552 *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or
4553 segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using
4554 the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames]
4556 *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's
4557 server version string, including loaded and advertised modules.
4560 *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from
4561 missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter,
4562 create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and
4563 fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from
4564 the build environment. [William Rowe]
4566 *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized
4567 apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick]
4569 *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption
4570 when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config.
4573 *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>
4574 where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for
4575 files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This
4576 problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite
4577 of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard]
4579 *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after
4580 restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the
4581 previous generation was being left around under certain
4582 conditions. [Greg Ames]
4584 *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars
4585 used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren.
4586 [Günter Knauf <eflash gmx.net>]
4588 *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had
4589 work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and
4590 #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c
4591 file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing.
4592 [Sander Striker <striker apache.org>]
4594 Changes with Apache 2.0.21
4596 *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be
4597 overwritten, regardless of the -c flag.
4598 [William Rowe, Mladen Turk <mladen.turk mail.inet.hr>]
4600 *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime
4601 of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows
4602 its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts.
4605 *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management
4606 modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is
4607 created, and at every restart request.
4608 [Cody Sherr <csherr covalent.net>]
4610 *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and
4611 added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest
4612 daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also
4613 updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder]
4615 *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by
4616 the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process
4617 etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes
4618 that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix,
4619 these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes
4620 prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting
4621 connections (ie, the server would hang).
4624 *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on.
4627 *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after*
4628 processing a connection so that a server processing a time-
4629 consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the
4630 parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an
4631 APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long
4632 time if there aren't server processes around to do accept().
4633 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
4635 *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime,
4636 spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default
4637 httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat
4638 large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is
4639 significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides
4640 a nice speedup. [Brian Pane <bpane pacbell.net>]
4642 *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the
4643 scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the
4644 scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM.
4645 [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
4647 Changes with Apache 2.0.20
4649 *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would
4650 buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes
4651 down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause
4652 significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated
4653 lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard]
4655 *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades.
4658 *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache.
4661 *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all
4662 workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started
4663 was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard]
4665 Changes with Apache 2.0.19
4667 *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child
4668 process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server
4669 was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving
4670 requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to
4671 die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any
4672 new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact
4673 that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children.
4674 Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number
4675 of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in
4676 the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over
4677 MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom]
4679 *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a
4680 factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32
4681 and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results
4682 already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe]
4684 *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests
4685 slightly more efficiently. [Cliff Woolley]
4687 *) Fix problem handling FLUSH bucket in the chunked encoding filter.
4688 Module was calling ap_rwrite() followed by ap_rflush() but the
4689 served content was not being displayed in the browser. Inspection
4690 of the output stream revealed that the first data chunk was
4691 missing the trailing CRLF required by the RFC. [Bill Stoddard]
4693 *) apxs no longer generates ap_send_http_header() in the example handler
4695 *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception
4696 with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/).
4697 [Ian Holsman <ianh cnet.com>]
4699 *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated
4700 filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing
4701 the document to serve. [William Rowe]
4703 *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in
4704 limit. We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which
4705 led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations.
4708 *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include. The
4709 default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and
4710 MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically
4711 live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames]
4713 *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions
4714 on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field.
4715 Example: SetEnvIf ^TS* [a-z].* HAVE_TS
4716 will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins
4717 with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the
4718 set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard]
4720 *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on
4721 multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0.
4722 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
4724 *) Fix htdigest. It would go into a loop in getline when adding
4725 a second user. [Bill Stoddard]
4727 *) Win32 platforms now fully support mod_userdir options. [Will Rowe]
4729 *) Automatically generate httpd.exp for AIX.
4730 DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0
4731 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
4733 *) Add a new request hook, error_log. This phase allows modules
4734 to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written
4735 to the error log. The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring
4736 modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent.
4739 *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output.
4740 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4742 *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header
4743 add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally
4744 add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly:
4746 SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader
4747 Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader
4749 If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header
4750 MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response.
4753 *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header
4754 add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported:
4756 %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the
4757 request was received.
4759 %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was
4760 received and the response sent.
4763 Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t"
4765 results in a header being added to the response that looks like this:
4767 MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256
4771 *) Fix reset_filter(). We need to be careful how we remove filters.
4772 If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the
4773 connection's filters. [John Sterling]
4775 *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein]
4777 *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and
4778 contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes
4779 a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling]
4781 *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will
4782 cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be
4783 echoed to (included in) the response headers.
4786 *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H.
4787 This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h. PR #7773
4788 [Oleg Broytmann <phd phd.pp.ru>]
4790 *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library. This required a bunch of
4791 apr_name changes for the uri utility functions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
4793 *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the
4794 insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default.
4797 *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now
4798 add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive
4799 and to responses using the same old Header directive. [Graham Leggett]
4801 Changes with Apache 2.0.18
4803 *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified
4804 Apache will exit. [Jeff Trawick]
4806 *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the
4807 Apache-owned source trees. [Roy Fielding]
4809 *) Fix processing of the TRACE method. Previously we passed bogus
4810 parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures,
4811 resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias().
4812 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
4814 *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process
4815 goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has
4816 been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases.
4819 *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file
4820 preflight. This change also circumvents a problem on
4821 Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight
4822 was not getting cleaned up properly.
4825 *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info
4828 *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in
4829 preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted
4830 design notes. [Paul J. Reder]
4832 *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr
4833 and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line
4834 (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were
4835 formerly abusing as LTFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
4837 *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags.
4838 [Barrie Slaymaker <barries slaysys.com>]
4840 *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR
4841 and moving hints.m4 inline. [Roy Fielding]
4843 *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types
4844 of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL
4845 [Ian Holsman <IanH cnet.com>]
4847 *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a
4848 request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to
4849 the cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
4851 *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged
4852 as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0.
4855 *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows
4858 *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the
4859 connection pool. This solves a small resource leak that had us
4860 not closing files until a connection was closed. In order to do
4861 this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the
4862 brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket
4863 that we know will survive clearing the request_rec.
4864 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>,
4867 *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
4868 variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
4869 the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user
4870 to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
4871 need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting
4872 of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to
4873 avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given
4874 on the compile and link lines. Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA,
4875 AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE.
4876 Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros.
4877 Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T. [Roy Fielding]
4879 *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows. PR #7612
4880 [Bernhard Schrenk <b.schrenk improx.com>]
4882 *) Fix shutdown/restart hangs in the threaded MPM.
4883 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom]
4885 *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only
4886 used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable.
4887 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding]
4889 *) Patch prefork to put enough of the signal processing back in so that
4890 signals are all handled properly now. The previous patch fixed the
4891 deadlock race condition, but broke the user directed signal handling.
4892 This fixes it to work the way it did before my previous prefork patch
4893 (primarily, SIGTERM is now working).
4895 *) Change how input filters decide how much data is returned to the
4896 higher filter. We used to use a field in the conn_rec, with this
4897 change, we use an argument to ap_get_brigade to determine how much
4898 data is retrieved. [Ryan Bloom]
4900 *) Fix seg fault at start-up introduced by Ryan's change to enable
4901 modules to specify their own logging tags. mod_log_config
4902 registers an optional function, ap_register_log_handler().
4903 ap_register_log_handler() was being called by http_core before
4904 the directive hash table was created. This patch creates the
4905 directive hash table before ap_register_log_handler() is
4906 registered as an optional function.
4907 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
4909 *) Add ap_set_int_slot() function
4910 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
4912 *) Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the
4913 right response headers when requiring authentication.
4914 [Gertjan van Wingerde <Gertjan.van.Wingerde cmg.nl>] PR#7114
4915 (This is a port of the change that went into Apache 1.3.19.)
4917 *) Allow modules to specify their own logging tags. This basically
4918 allows a module to tell mod_log_config that when %x is encountered
4919 a specific function should be called. Currently, x can be any single
4920 character. It may be more useful to make this a string at some point.
4923 Changes with Apache 2.0.17
4925 *) If a higher-level filter handles the byterange aspects of a
4926 request, then the byterange filter should not try to redo the
4927 work. The most common case of this happening, is a byterange
4928 request going through the proxy, and the origin server handles
4929 the byterange request. The proxy should ignore it.
4930 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
4932 *) Changed the threaded mpm to have child_main join to each of the
4933 worker threads to make sure the kids are all gone before child_main
4934 exits after a signal (cleanup from perform_idle_server_maintenance).
4935 This is an extension of Ryans recent commit to make the child_main
4938 *) Add more options to the ap_mpm_query function. This also allows MPMs to
4939 report if their threads are dynamic or static. Finally, this also
4940 implements a new API, ap_show_mpm, which returns the MPM that was
4941 required into the core. [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie covalent.net>]
4943 *) Do not install the binaries from the support directory twice.
4944 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
4946 *) The ap_f* functions should flush data to the filter that is passed
4947 in, not the filter after the one passed in.
4948 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
4950 *) Make ab work again by changing its native types to apr types and formats.
4951 [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
4953 *) Move the byterange filter and all of the supporting functions back
4954 to the HTTP module. The byterange filter turned out to be very
4955 HTTP specific, and it belongs in the HTTP module. [Greg Stein]
4957 *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
4958 Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz ebuilt.com>]
4960 *) Fix errors in the renaming of the apr_threadattr_detach_xxx functions.
4961 This may have been causing problems stopping processes in the threaded
4964 *) Fix content-length in mod_negotiation to a long int representation.
4967 *) Remove BindAddress from the default config file.
4968 [<giles nemeton.com.au>]
4970 *) Allow module authors to add a module to their Apache build using
4971 --with-module, without re-running buildconf. The syntax is:
4972 --with-module=module_type:/path/to/module.c
4973 The configure script will copy the module.c file to
4974 modules/module_type, and it will be added to the relevant Makefiles.
4975 currently, this only works for static modules. [Ryan Bloom]
4977 *) Changes required to make prefork clean up idle children properly.
4978 There was a window during which a starting worker deadlocks when
4979 an idle cleanup arrives before it completes init. Apache then keeps
4980 trying to cleanup the same deadlocked worker forever (until higher
4981 pids come along, but it still will never reduce below the deadlocked
4982 pid). Thus the number of children would not reduce to the correct
4983 idle level. [Paul J. Reder]
4985 Changes with Apache 2.0.16
4987 *) Change the default installation directory to /usr/local/apache2,
4988 as now defined by the "Apache" layout in config.layout. [Marc Slemko]
4990 *) OS/2: Added support for building loadable modules as OS/2 DLLs.
4993 *) Get MaxRequestsPerChild working with the Windows MPM.
4996 *) Make generic hooks to work, with mod_generic_hook_import/export
4997 experimental modules. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe]
4999 *) Fix segfaults for configuration file syntax errors such as
5000 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directory" and
5001 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directoryz>". [Jeff Trawick]
5003 *) Cleanup the --enable-layout option of configure. This makes
5004 us use a consistent location for the config.layout file, and it
5005 makes configure more portable.
5006 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun iijlab.net>]
5008 *) Changes to 'ab'; fixed int overrun's, added statistics, output in
5009 csv/gnuplot format, rudimentary ssl support and various other tweaks
5010 to make results more true to what is measured. The upshot of this it
5011 turns out that 'ab' has often underreported the true performance of
5012 apache. Often by a order of magnitude :-) See talk/paper of Sander
5013 Temme at April ApacheCon 2001 for details.
5014 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
5016 *) Clean up mod_cgid's temporary request pool. Besides fixing a
5017 storage leak this ensures that some unnecessary pipes are closed.
5020 *) Performance: Add quick_handler hook. This hook is called at the
5021 very beginning of the request processing before location_walk,
5022 translate_name, etc. This hook is useful for URI keyed content
5023 caches like Mike Abbott's Quick Shortcut Cache.
5026 *) top_module global variable renamed to ap_top_module [Perl]
5028 *) Move ap_set_last_modified to the core. This is a potentially
5029 controversial change, because this is kind of HTTP specific. However
5030 many protocols should be able to take advantage of this kind of
5031 information. I expect that headers will need one more layer of
5032 indirection for multi-protocol work, but this is a small step in
5033 the right direction. [Ryan Bloom]
5035 *) Enable mod_status by default. This matches what Apache 1.3 does.
5038 *) Add a ScriptSock directive to the default config file. This is
5039 only enabled when mod_cgid is used.
5040 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
5042 Changes with Apache 2.0.15
5044 *) Untangled the buildconf script and eliminated the need for build's
5045 aclocal.m4, generated_lists, build.mk, build2.mk, and a host of other
5046 libtool muck that is now under srclib/apr/build. [Roy Fielding]
5048 *) Win32: Don't accept more connections than we have worker threads
5052 *) Fix bug in the Unix threaded.c MPM that allowed child processes
5053 to fork() new child processes.
5056 *) SECURITY: Fix a major security problem with double-reverse lookup
5057 checking. Previously, a client connecting over IPv4 would not be
5058 matched properly when the server had an IPv6 listening socket.
5059 PR #7407 [Taketo Kabe <kiabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
5061 *) Change the way the beos MPM handles polling to allow it to stop and
5062 restart. Problem was the sockets being polled were being reset by
5063 the select call, so once it had accepted a connection it was no
5064 longer listening on the UDP socket we use for shutdown instructions.
5065 APR needs to be altered, patch on it's way. [David Reid]
5067 *) Empty out the brigade shared by ap_getline()/ap_get_client_block()
5068 on error exit from ap_getline(). Some other code got upset because
5069 the wrong data was in the brigade. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
5071 *) Handle ap_discard_request_body() being called more than once.
5072 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
5074 *) Get rid of an inadvertent close of file descriptor 2 in
5075 mod_mime_magic. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
5077 *) Add a hook, create_request. This hook allows modules to modify
5078 a request while it is being created. This hook is called for all
5079 request_rec's, main request, sub request, and internal redirect.
5080 When this hook is called, the r->main, r->prev, r->next
5081 pointers have been set, so modules can determine what kind of
5082 request this is. [Ryan Bloom]
5084 *) Cleanup the build process a bit more. The Apache configure
5085 script no longer creates its own helper scripts, it just
5087 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
5089 *) Stop the forced downgrade of the connection to HTTP/1.0 for
5090 proxy requests. [Graham Leggett]
5092 *) Avoid using sscanf to determine the HTTP protocol number in
5093 the common case because sscanf is a performance hog. From
5094 Mike Abbot's Accelerating Apache patch number 6.
5095 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>, Bill Stoddard]
5097 *) SECURITY: Fix a security exposure in mod_access. Previously when
5098 IPv6 listening sockets were used, allow/deny-from-IPv4-address rules
5099 were not evaluated properly (PR #7407). Also, add the ability to
5100 specify IPv6 address strings with optional prefix length on Allow
5101 and Deny. [Jeff Trawick]
5103 *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and
5104 the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). (Brought
5105 forward from 1.3.) [Ken Coar]
5107 *) Reimplement the Windows MPM (mpm_winnt.c) to eliminate calling
5108 DuplicateHandle on an IOCompletionPort (a practice which
5109 MS "discourages"). The new model does not rely on associating
5110 the completion port with the listening sockets, thus the
5111 completion port can be completely managed within the child
5112 process. A dedicated thread accepts connections off the network,
5113 then calls PostQueuedCompletionStatus() to wake up worker
5114 threads blocked on the completion port.
5117 *) Bring forward the --suexec-umask option which allows the
5118 builder to preset the umask for suexec processes. [Ken Coar]
5120 *) Add a -V flag to suexec, which causes it to display the
5121 compile-time settings with which it was built. (Only
5122 usable by root or the AP_HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar]
5124 *) Mod_include should always unset the content-length if the file is
5125 going to be passed through send_parsed_content. There is no to
5126 determine if the content will change before actually scanning the
5127 entire content. It is far safer to just remove the C-L as long
5128 as we are scanning it. [Ryan Bloom]
5130 *) Make sure Apache sends WWW-Authenticate during a reverse proxy
5131 request and not Proxy-Authenticate.
5132 [Graham Leggett <minfrin sharp.fm>]
5134 Changes with Apache 2.0.14
5136 *) Fix content-length computation. We ONLY compute a content-length if
5137 We are not in a 1.1 request and we cannot chunk, and this is a keepalive
5138 or we already have all the data. [Ryan Bloom]
5140 *) Report unbounded containers in the config file. Previously, a typo
5141 in the </container> directive could result in the rest of the config
5142 file being silently ignored, with undesired defaults used.
5145 *) Make the old_write filter use the ap_f* functions for the buffering.
5148 *) Move more code from the http module into the core server. This
5149 is core code, basically the default handler, the default input
5150 and output filters, and all of the core configuration directives.
5151 All of this code is required in order for the server to work, with or
5152 without HTTP. The server is closer to working without the HTTP
5153 module, although there is still more to do. [Ryan Bloom]
5155 *) Fix a number of SGI compile warnings throughout the server. Fix some
5156 bad parameters to apr_bucket_read(). Fix a bad statement in
5157 ap_method_in_list(). For the mod_rewrite cache use apr_time_t
5158 consistently; we were mixing apr_time_t and time_t in invalid ways
5159 before. In load_file(), call apr_dso_error() instead of
5160 apr_strerror() so that we get a more specific string on some platforms.
5161 PR #6980 [Jeff Trawick]
5163 *) Allow modules to query the MPM about it's execution profile. This
5164 query API can and should be extended in the future, but for now,
5165 max_daemons, and threading or forking is a very good start.
5166 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
5168 *) Modify mod_include to send blocks of data no larger than 9k.
5169 Without this, mod_include will wait until the whole file is parsed,
5170 or the first tag is found to send any data to the client.
5171 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5173 *) Fix mod_info, so that <Directory> and <Location> directives are
5174 not displayed twice when displaying the current configuration.
5175 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5177 *) Add config directives to override DEFAULT_ERROR_MSG and
5178 DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT. This was sent in as PR 6193.
5179 [Dan Rench <drench xnet.com>]
5181 *) Get mod_info building and loading on Win32. [William Rowe]
5183 *) Begin to move protocol independant functions out of mod_http. The goal
5184 is to have only functions that are HTTP specific in the http directory.
5187 Changes with Apache 2.0.13
5189 *) Don't assume that there will always be multiple calls to the byterange
5190 filter. It is possible that we will need to do byteranges with only
5191 one call to the filter. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5193 *) Move the error_bucket definition from the http module to the
5194 core server. Every protocol will need this ability, not just
5197 Changes with Apache 2.0.12
5199 *) Modify mod_file_cache to save pre-formatted strings for
5200 content-length and last-modified headers for performance.
5201 [Mike Abbot <mja trudge.engr.sgi.com>]
5203 *) Namespace protect IOBUFSIZ since it is exposed in the API.
5204 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
5206 *) Use "Basic" authentication instead of "basic" in ab, as the spec
5207 says we should. [Andre Breiler <andre.breiler rd.bbc.co.uk>]
5209 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_userdir.c. We used to use the pw structure
5210 without ever filling it out. This fixes PR 7271.
5211 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp> and
5212 Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5214 *) Add a couple of GCC attribute tags to printf style functions.
5215 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
5217 *) Add the correct language tag for interoperation with the Taiwanese
5218 versions of MSIE and Netscape. [Clive Lin <clive CirX.ORG>] PR#7142
5220 *) Migrate the perchild MPM to use the new apr signal child, and
5221 APR thread functions. [Ryan Bloom]
5223 *) Close one copy of the CGI's stdout before creating the new process.
5224 The CGI will still have stdout, because we have already dup'ed it.
5225 This keeps Apache from waiting forever to send the results of a CGI
5226 process that has forked a long-lived child process.
5227 [Taketo Kabe <kabe sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
5229 *) Remove the rest of the pthreads functions from the threaded MPM.
5230 This requires the APR support for a signal thread that was just
5233 *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser.
5234 Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much
5235 sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would
5236 either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the
5237 current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5239 *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads.
5242 *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases.
5245 *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and
5246 "most". [Greg Stein]
5248 *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks.
5251 *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the
5252 fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and
5253 it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything.
5256 *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches
5257 the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation
5258 process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames).
5261 *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter
5262 is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom]
5264 Changes with Apache 2.0.11
5266 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the
5267 added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no
5268 uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter.
5271 *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom]
5273 *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM.
5274 If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add
5275 --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom]
5277 *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so
5278 that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself.
5281 *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been
5282 installed to the system include files.
5283 [Gomez Henri <new-httpd slib.fr>]
5285 *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need
5286 to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but
5287 configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom]
5289 *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is
5290 vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build
5293 *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this
5294 on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want
5295 to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5297 *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a
5298 request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard]
5300 *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and
5301 SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set
5302 directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives
5303 tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom]
5305 *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_*
5306 functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute
5307 the length of the headers before we actually create the header
5308 buffer. [Ryan Bloom]
5310 *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have
5311 become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*.
5314 *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going
5315 to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to
5316 kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be
5317 static. [Ryan Bloom]
5319 *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not
5320 possible to compile some modules outside of the server.
5323 *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch
5324 forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex
5325 aliases. [Ryan Bloom]
5327 *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary
5328 hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If
5329 we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back
5330 up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send
5331 the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request,
5332 to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already
5333 received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than
5334 the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This
5335 fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data
5336 with that request. [Ryan Bloom]
5338 *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and
5339 thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom]
5341 *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This
5342 should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to
5343 create CGI processes.
5344 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5346 *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket
5347 call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been
5348 reset. [Jeff Trawick]
5350 *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h.
5351 This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release
5352 system. [Ryan Bloom]
5354 *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in
5355 the ability to use IPC other than shared memory.
5356 Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard]
5358 *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork,
5359 mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom]
5361 *) Correct a typo in httpd.conf.
5362 [Kunihiro Tanaka <tanaka apache.or.jp>] PR#7154
5364 *) Really fix mod_rewrite map lookups this time. [Tony Finch]
5366 *) Get the correct IP address if ServerName isn't set and we can't
5367 find a fully-qualified domain name at startup.
5368 PR#7170 [Danek Duvall <dduvall eng.sun.com>]
5370 *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom]
5372 *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some
5373 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now
5374 resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS
5375 volumes. [William Rowe]
5377 *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the
5378 behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported
5379 as USER_NAME="<unknown>" rather than the old user#000 result.
5380 WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe]
5382 *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new
5383 Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe]
5385 *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the
5386 environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure
5387 options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.
5390 *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like
5391 "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return
5392 a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big
5393 byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom]
5395 *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the
5396 bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these
5397 buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will
5398 just be ignored. [Greg Stein]
5400 *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart
5401 signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child
5402 process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If
5403 we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning
5404 up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom]
5406 *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful
5407 restarts. [Ryan Bloom]
5409 *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use
5410 the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from
5411 performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups
5412 and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields
5413 are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe]
5415 *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by
5416 optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending
5417 on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port
5418 for sample code. [Ben Laurie]
5420 *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done
5421 by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket.
5422 This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and
5423 a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed
5424 to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this
5425 bucket, and output the error text, and then return
5426 AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page
5427 has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom]
5429 *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for
5430 those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where
5431 error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though
5432 that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom]
5434 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
5435 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
5437 *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition
5438 and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy
5439 code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable.
5442 *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these
5443 directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled
5444 in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because
5445 we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order.
5448 *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of
5449 targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the
5450 configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is
5451 specifically run. [Ryan Bloom]
5453 *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts
5454 the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by
5455 parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe]
5457 *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code
5458 expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error.
5459 Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we
5460 follow the link. [William Rowe]
5462 *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to
5463 mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms,
5464 so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom]
5466 *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe,
5467 and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom]
5469 *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the
5470 current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail.
5473 *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or
5474 pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames]
5476 *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know
5477 for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0.
5478 This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0
5479 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
5481 *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite,
5482 i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of
5483 more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch]
5485 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing
5486 Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin <alexeyt wam.umd.edu>]
5488 *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting
5489 and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly.
5492 *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter().
5493 This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with
5494 requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick]
5496 *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via
5497 hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also,
5498 add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and
5499 NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but
5500 not used during the configuration process. Useful for
5501 flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski]
5503 *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or
5504 no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to
5505 specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH.
5506 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom]
5508 *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie]
5510 *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and
5511 apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the
5512 actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again.
5515 *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being
5516 traced. [Jeff Trawick]
5518 *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data.
5521 *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie]
5523 *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
5525 *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter
5526 program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick]
5528 *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an
5529 object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE
5530 was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would
5531 create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap()
5532 silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but
5533 ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick]
5535 *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem
5536 is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and
5537 we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the
5538 browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom]
5540 *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec
5541 because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't
5542 always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf
5545 *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct
5546 order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4,
5547 and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build
5548 process. [Ryan Bloom]
5550 *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process.
5551 This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process,
5552 thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do
5553 not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least
5554 it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom]
5556 *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line.
5559 *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
5560 the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5562 *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
5563 need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files
5564 such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]
5566 *) Get the support programs building cleanly again.
5567 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
5569 *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The
5570 current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the
5571 server root from the Apache.exe path.
5573 *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so
5574 loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the
5575 makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories.
5577 *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6,
5578 Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the
5579 Listen, NameVirtualHost, and <VirtualHost> directives support IPv6
5580 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080").
5583 *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in
5584 modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but
5585 we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories
5586 are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom]
5588 *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom]
5590 *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of
5591 which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack
5592 for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the
5593 necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC
5594 was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make
5595 the scripts a bit easier.
5598 *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout
5599 on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick]
5601 *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and
5602 be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects
5603 that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules
5604 didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly.
5607 *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer
5608 available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick]
5610 *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
5612 *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts
5613 after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom]
5615 *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a
5616 content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to
5617 have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we
5618 can compute the content-length in the byterange filter.
5621 *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows.
5624 *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way
5625 they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been
5626 called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when
5627 the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool.
5630 Changes with Apache 2.0a9
5632 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users
5633 to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@
5634 and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories.
5637 *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with
5638 functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily.
5639 The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function
5640 combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include
5641 parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a
5642 hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes
5643 all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then
5644 responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back
5645 to mod_include for further processing.
5646 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5648 *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has
5649 fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed
5650 from the parameter list because all required information is available
5651 via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick]
5653 *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a
5654 normal source distribution with external install targets.
5657 *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create
5658 two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation.
5659 the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required
5660 for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one
5661 variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations,
5662 so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based
5663 on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment.
5664 It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two
5665 shmem memory blocks.
5668 *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of
5669 functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure
5670 time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file.
5671 Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those
5672 functions that are valid on the platform we are building on.
5675 *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config
5676 [Sander van Zoest <sander covalent.net>]
5678 *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration.
5681 *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not
5682 specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR).
5683 The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM
5684 files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases.
5687 *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that
5688 uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly.
5689 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
5691 *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when
5692 making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the
5693 output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore
5694 skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
5696 *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the
5697 format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in
5698 the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be
5699 used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with
5700 the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format
5701 of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick]
5703 *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the
5704 rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this
5705 condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
5707 *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter.
5710 Changes with Apache 2.0a8
5712 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with
5716 *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info
5717 field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file.
5720 *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers
5721 down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request
5722 record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready
5726 *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code,
5727 but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP)
5731 *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler.
5734 *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options.
5735 [B. W. Fitzpatrick <fitz red-bean.com>]
5737 *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname.
5738 Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing
5739 hostname resolution/address string parsing and building
5740 apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address
5741 of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change
5742 apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick]
5744 *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but
5745 I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon.
5748 *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we
5749 aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom]
5751 *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head
5752 request. [Ryan Bloom]
5754 *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias
5755 with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch]
5757 *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom]
5759 *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests.
5760 The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before
5761 we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we
5762 should send it in the HEAD response.
5765 *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based
5766 on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay
5767 deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the
5768 content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache
5769 our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute
5770 the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and
5771 everything will just work.
5774 *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available.
5775 [Markus Gyger <mgyger itr.ch>]
5777 *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this
5778 change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules
5780 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
5782 *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly.
5783 This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times
5784 for a simple static request.
5787 *) We are sending the content-type correctly now.
5788 [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]
5790 *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report
5791 a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers
5792 and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick]
5794 *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the
5795 hints file to determine which platforms define
5796 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
5799 *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick]
5801 *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko]
5803 *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache
5804 used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate,
5805 but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will
5806 as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid
5807 value on all platforms.
5808 [Branko Èibej <brane xbc.nu>]
5810 *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824.
5811 [Shuichi Kitaguchi <ki hh.iij4u.or.jp>]
5813 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
5814 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
5816 *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes
5817 sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the
5818 default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs.
5821 *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain
5822 in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well.
5825 *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This
5826 has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could
5827 doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches
5828 the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes
5829 a content-length in the response, and this does not.
5832 *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate
5833 on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make
5834 any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes,
5835 so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written.
5838 *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not.
5839 The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report
5840 the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies
5841 content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing
5842 code in mod_log_config.c
5845 *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what
5846 it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since
5847 neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was
5848 really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better
5849 by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH
5850 buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data
5851 read, so they make more sense.
5854 *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a
5855 request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it
5856 makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request
5857 responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap
5858 buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This
5859 allows the mmap to outlive the request.
5862 *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for
5863 sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should
5864 have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should
5865 ALWAYS be able to return something immediately.
5868 *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the
5869 server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart
5870 instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling]
5872 *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on
5873 the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe]
5875 *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in
5876 such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r".
5879 *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0:
5880 CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol.
5883 *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
5884 status at the end of the response as follows:
5885 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed.
5886 '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server.
5887 '-' - connection will be closed by the server.
5890 *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded
5891 Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type
5892 from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the feature
5893 macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe]
5895 *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for
5896 the response when no content length is available and we can't use
5897 chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick]
5899 *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK,
5900 so that content input filters get dechunked data when using
5901 the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS.
5904 *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows
5905 the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently,
5906 only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick]
5908 *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol
5909 data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick]
5911 *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of
5912 the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this
5913 type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef
5914 CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick]
5916 *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will
5917 send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside
5918 buckets that include partial buckets.
5919 [Ryan Bloom and David Reid]
5921 *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula]
5923 *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using
5924 BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it
5925 doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on.
5928 *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to
5929 the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that
5930 actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need
5931 for the BUFF to send headers.
5934 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of
5935 request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest()
5936 since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated)
5937 response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at
5938 all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.)
5941 *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter
5942 (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter.
5945 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
5946 of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp home.net>,
5949 *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h
5952 *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering.
5955 *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at
5956 least now we can serve an SHTML page again.
5959 *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer
5960 to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that
5961 want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket,
5962 can. They point to the same place.
5965 *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld.
5966 [Tomas "Ögren" <stric ing.umu.se>]
5968 *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the
5969 associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this
5970 logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs.
5973 *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was
5974 no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning
5975 APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by
5976 making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets.
5977 If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we
5978 return the buf, otherwise we return NULL.
5981 *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series.
5984 *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix:
5985 rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded
5986 so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc.
5987 PR #6671 [Tony Finch]
5989 *) SECURITY: Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a
5990 security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations
5991 that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files
5992 on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch]
5994 *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out
5995 of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then
5996 the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the
6000 *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters
6001 should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way
6002 to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket,
6003 that's life, but at least we can try with this.
6006 *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the
6007 EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output
6008 filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub
6009 requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished.
6012 *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also
6013 makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it
6014 used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its
6015 return value anyway.
6016 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley yahoo.com>]
6018 *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets
6019 structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the
6020 bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type.
6023 *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols
6024 for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper)
6025 and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE.
6026 All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear.
6029 *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename
6030 parsing of <Directory> blocks under Win32 and OS2.
6031 [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
6033 *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been
6034 replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket
6035 types and use then use those buckets.
6038 *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write)
6039 once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process;
6040 otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies
6041 worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large
6042 ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick]
6044 *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type.
6045 This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off
6046 the data pointer in the ap_bucket type.
6049 *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data
6050 to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive
6051 number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and
6052 let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line
6053 only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data.
6055 Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows
6056 us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which
6060 *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter
6061 understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is
6062 based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers,
6063 and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are
6064 in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining
6065 bytes. It can return less, but never more.
6066 [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick]
6068 *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what
6069 the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick]
6071 *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters
6072 ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection
6073 go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the
6077 *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial
6078 send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to
6079 get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial
6080 writes to the network.
6083 *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again
6084 [Victor J. Orlikowski <v.j.orlikowski gte.net>]
6086 *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored
6087 if there are no headers to send.
6090 *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core
6091 filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary
6092 compiled on Windows NT.
6095 Changes with Apache 2.0a7
6097 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades
6098 across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be
6099 sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE
6100 thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received.
6103 *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes
6104 into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the
6105 chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current
6106 implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the
6107 chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that
6108 containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The
6109 buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket.
6112 *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter.
6115 *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter.
6118 *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS
6119 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
6121 *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't
6122 make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now.
6125 *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that
6126 do not have sendfile.
6127 [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard]
6129 *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so
6130 that it works again. [Ryan Bloom]
6132 *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile().
6135 *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support.
6138 *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands
6139 the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The
6140 goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing
6141 the data back to the other filters.
6144 *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation
6147 *) install apxs if it is created
6150 *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error
6151 conversions. [William Rowe]
6153 *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to
6154 ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick]
6156 *) Multiple build and configuration fixes
6159 -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions
6161 -fix logfilename misspelling
6162 -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and
6163 -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile
6167 -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for
6168 $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing
6169 -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib
6170 -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's
6171 -cache result for "struct rlimit"
6172 -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler
6173 and use the native version to generate header file

6176 *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross-
6178 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu gmx.de>]
6180 *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header
6181 lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
6182 message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input
6184 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
6186 *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even
6187 if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a
6188 requirement for APXS to work correctly.
6191 *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the
6192 conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the
6193 output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the
6194 post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an
6195 error page before we have a filter to write to the network.
6196 [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames]
6198 *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An
6199 mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with
6200 byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of
6201 the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket.
6204 *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi.
6207 *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32.
6208 Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support
6209 for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB),
6210 and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and
6211 prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still
6212 discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and
6213 async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are
6214 logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls.
6217 *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input
6218 filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest
6219 difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade
6220 should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is
6221 different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in,
6222 and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call
6223 ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input
6224 is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this
6225 function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade.
6226 The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return.
6229 *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system
6230 falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform.
6233 *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5,
6234 SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a
6235 bit more flexible. [William Rowe]
6237 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content
6238 translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores
6239 subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for
6240 translating request and response bodies was removed.
6243 *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request
6244 hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in
6245 multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much
6246 simpler. [Ryan Bloom]
6248 *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0913 (cve.mitre.org)
6249 Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of
6250 mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that
6251 contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences
6252 $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to
6253 access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch]
6255 *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing
6256 don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because
6257 the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames]
6259 *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid.
6260 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6262 *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2)
6263 as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds.
6264 update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment.
6265 Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from
6266 parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the
6267 seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support.
6270 *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32.
6273 *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An
6274 uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config().
6277 *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for
6278 in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly
6279 find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source
6280 with no problems. [David Reid]
6282 *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying
6283 the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong
6284 location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and
6285 also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would
6286 sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick]
6288 *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence
6289 like this in the config file
6291 <IfModule mod_kilroy.c>
6294 <IfModule mod_lovejoy.c>
6299 the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to
6300 sediment in the buffer from reading the prior </IfModule> and an
6301 error message would be generated for the real </IfModule> for the
6302 second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters
6303 could be used for "</" in the close of a container.
6306 *) ap_add_filter prototype changed to remove the ctx pointer. The
6307 pointer still remains in the filter structure, but it can not be
6308 a part of the ap_add_filter prototype. The reason is that when
6309 the core uses AddFilter to add a filter to the stack it doesn't
6310 know how to allocate the ctx pointer, or even how much memory should
6311 be allocated. The filters will have to be responsible for allocating
6312 the ctx memory when they need it.
6315 *) Add an AddFilter directive. This directive takes a list of filters
6316 that should be activated for the requested resource.
6319 *) apr_snprintf(): Get quad format strings working on OS/390 (and perhaps
6320 some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
6322 *) Modify mod_include to be a filter. Currently, it has only been tested
6323 on actual files, but it should work for CGI scripts too.
6326 *) apr_putc(), apr_puts() for Unix: handle buffered files and interrupted
6327 writes. apr_flush() for Unix: handle interrupted writes.
6330 *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of
6331 an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based
6332 virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in
6333 the configuration file and which ignores the local address
6334 of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch]
6336 *) Fix some compile warnings in mod_mmap_static.c
6337 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
6339 *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that
6340 the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an
6341 EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it
6342 encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we
6343 finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one
6344 EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec.
6347 *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix
6348 and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via
6349 apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick]
6351 *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe
6352 bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*.
6355 *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable.
6356 [Mike Abbott <mja sgi.com>]
6358 *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache
6359 code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs.
6362 *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c
6363 [John K. Sterling <sterling covalent.net>]
6365 *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive.
6366 PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama imgsrc.co.jp>]
6368 *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test
6369 explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit()
6370 is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support
6371 the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski]
6373 *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific
6374 platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain)
6375 all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski]
6377 *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary
6380 *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR.
6383 *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite.
6386 *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom]
6388 *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that
6389 they can be more directly used when changing the type of a
6390 bucket in place. [Tony Finch]
6392 *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by
6393 buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change
6394 the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of
6395 buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets.
6396 Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be
6397 mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented.
6400 Changes with Apache 2.0a6
6402 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames]
6404 *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer
6405 to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom]
6407 *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter
6408 added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom]
6410 *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The
6411 docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom]
6413 *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades,
6414 Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that
6415 should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the
6416 core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group]
6418 *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't
6419 built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick]
6421 *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's
6422 no layout definition file. [Ken Coar]
6424 *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar]
6426 *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header
6427 field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the
6428 list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar]
6430 *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file().
6431 [Rob Simonson <simo us.ibm.com>]
6433 *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke
6434 APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick]
6436 *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the
6437 configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container,
6438 only the last statement in the container would be retained.
6441 Changes with Apache 2.0a5
6443 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child
6444 processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I
6445 have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had
6446 different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses.
6447 This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket.
6450 *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages.
6451 It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we
6452 are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix
6453 Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom]
6455 *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix.
6456 #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat
6459 *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always
6460 return the right information on the local socket address.
6461 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6463 *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error.
6464 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6466 *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without
6467 going into single process mode. This allows for much easier
6468 debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom]
6470 *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function.
6473 *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the
6474 scoreboard on graceful restarts.
6477 *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c.
6478 An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process().
6481 *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still
6482 never called, but this is a step in the right direction.
6483 [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
6485 *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is
6486 killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets
6487 SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the
6488 process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and
6489 mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
6491 *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time
6492 in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format.
6493 Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time
6494 uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP
6495 spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes
6496 the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom]
6498 *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error
6499 code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls level8.com>]
6501 *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet]
6503 *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in
6504 logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles
6505 not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe]
6507 *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create
6508 apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom]
6510 *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure
6511 to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a
6512 related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using
6513 fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock()
6514 implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock()
6515 was essentially a no-op because all children were using different
6516 locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick]
6518 *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into
6519 a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on
6520 end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar]
6522 *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This
6523 adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional
6524 XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein]
6526 *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes
6529 *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from
6530 the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein]
6532 *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR
6533 configure.in. [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
6535 *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for
6536 machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile.
6537 [Dave Hill <ddhill zk3.dec.com>]
6539 *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6541 *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the
6542 desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving
6543 ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6545 *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate
6546 with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without
6547 timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to
6548 a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with
6549 Unix non-blocking pipes.
6552 *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to
6553 cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables
6554 Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at
6555 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps
6556 and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system).
6559 *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache
6560 supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as
6561 mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive
6562 to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems
6563 that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today
6564 on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix.
6567 *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the
6568 configuration process automatically:
6569 inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing
6570 APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl
6572 Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid,
6573 based on the threading model
6575 Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's
6576 configuration processing, allowing for more information flow
6581 *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK
6582 with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and
6583 OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick]
6585 *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write
6586 operations work a whole lot better on buffered files.
6589 *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change
6590 compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads).
6593 *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps
6594 reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is
6595 now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated.
6596 ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick]
6598 *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
6599 can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified
6600 domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
6601 the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the
6602 ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe]
6604 *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault
6605 at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to
6606 be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick]
6608 *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding]
6610 *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX
6611 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
6613 *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h,
6614 apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h.
6615 [Tyler J. Brooks <tylerjbrooks home.com>, Jeff Trawick]
6617 *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working
6618 state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on
6621 *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in
6622 maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise
6623 unions. [Ben Laurie]
6625 *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to
6626 repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered
6627 ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick]
6629 *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly
6630 in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker.
6633 *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error:
6634 "</container> without matching <container> section", where
6635 container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever.
6638 *) SECURITY: CAN-2000-1204 (cve.mitre.org)
6639 Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when
6640 using mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root
6641 and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi
6642 as reported in <news:960999105.344321 ernani.logica.co.uk>
6645 *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE)
6648 *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the
6649 final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles
6650 incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick]
6652 *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure
6653 that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and
6654 such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet]
6656 *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting
6657 up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket.
6660 *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches
6661 to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes)
6662 instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick]
6664 *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex.
6665 It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now
6666 displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the
6667 symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick]
6669 *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence.
6670 The previous check required features not used by Apache.
6673 *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were
6674 sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not
6675 initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed
6676 accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call
6677 if the len was negative. Use <sys/un.h> for struct sockaddr_un
6678 instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem
6679 on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick]
6681 *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
6683 *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
6685 *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames]
6687 *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at
6688 initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom
6689 otherwise. [Jeff Trawick]
6691 *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash
6692 doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does.
6693 Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator =="
6696 *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM.
6697 All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is
6698 now wrapped within the WinNT MPM.
6701 *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some
6702 getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls.
6703 CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick]
6705 *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change
6706 to allow just the product name in the server string using
6710 Changes with Apache 2.0a4
6712 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers
6713 won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6715 *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config
6716 tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks
6717 and know that they will be called at an appropriate time.
6720 *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again.
6723 *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules.
6726 *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have
6727 ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file.
6730 *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config
6731 files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick]
6733 *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t-
6734 related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem
6735 is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful
6736 restarts. [Ronald Tschalär]
6738 *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling.
6739 Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there
6740 would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure
6741 procedure. [Jeff Trawick]
6743 *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog
6744 isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via
6745 ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer
6746 to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
6748 *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines.
6751 *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or
6752 global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it
6753 to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency.
6756 *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD()
6757 and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals.
6760 *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers.
6761 [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser <KEIJSERJJ logica.com>]
6763 *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation.
6766 *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record
6767 on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar]
6769 *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the
6773 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not
6774 a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick]
6776 *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that
6777 the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet.
6780 *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int
6781 instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding]
6783 *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a
6784 structure rather than the pid within the structure.
6785 [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]
6787 *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in
6788 err_response; support reading headers up to 2K.
6789 [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask valueclick.com>]
6791 *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior
6792 alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
6793 config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite.
6794 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
6796 *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
6798 *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use
6799 APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables
6800 in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick]
6802 *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing.
6805 *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically
6806 if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is
6807 read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This
6808 should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the
6809 server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives
6810 that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should
6811 be made in the pre-config step.
6814 *) Add mod_example to the build system.
6817 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single-
6818 byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick]
6820 *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin
6821 Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log).
6824 *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the
6825 IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string
6826 properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the
6827 would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a
6828 properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick]
6830 *) apxs works in 2.0.
6833 *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0.
6836 *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for
6837 replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache.
6840 *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems
6841 generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a
6842 buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam
6843 is defined). [Ken Coar]
6845 *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure
6846 options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options]
6849 *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of
6850 these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/
6851 WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick]
6853 *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0
6856 *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR.
6859 *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are
6863 *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken.
6864 Patch submitted to author.
6867 *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require
6868 /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously)
6871 *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD
6872 [Sascha Schumann] PR#26
6874 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in
6875 struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only
6876 affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during
6877 pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at
6878 least). [Jeff Trawick]
6880 *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix
6882 [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39
6884 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems
6885 like OS/390 and UnixWare.
6888 *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms.
6891 *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror()
6892 (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in
6893 the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit
6894 out the correct error message for it.
6897 Changes with Apache 2.0a3
6899 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails
6902 *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix
6905 *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock.
6906 [Tim Costello <timcostello ozemail.com.au>]
6908 *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes.
6909 [Chia-liang Kao <clkao CirX.ORG>]
6911 *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using
6915 *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built
6918 *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow
6919 developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also
6920 changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name.
6923 *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames
6924 containing version numbers. [Martin Pool]
6926 *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on
6927 Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non-
6928 Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick]
6930 *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h.
6931 Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE.
6932 [William Rowe, Roy Fielding]
6934 *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows
6935 build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it
6936 actually works. [Bill Stoddard]
6938 *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and
6939 Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file
6940 os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent
6941 dll relocation at start-up).
6942 [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard]
6944 *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most
6945 of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros.
6948 *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different
6949 character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv().
6952 *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.
6953 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
6955 *) CGI output is being timed out now.
6958 *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which
6959 is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file
6960 with the same lifetime as the original file.
6963 *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying
6964 module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults
6965 in the field. [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6967 *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document
6968 describing how to compile Apache on Windows.
6969 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6971 *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take
6972 microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other
6973 minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
6975 *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0
6976 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6978 *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0
6979 quick change summary:
6980 - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR
6981 - now uses ap_time_t
6982 - compiles and runs on linux
6984 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
6986 *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names
6987 fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an
6988 unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the
6989 CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started
6991 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
6993 *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may
6994 not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This
6995 is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls
6996 to non portable functions should be protected with
6997 ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults.
6998 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
7000 *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer]
7002 *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick]
7004 *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
7005 This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
7006 CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
7008 *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly
7009 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
7011 *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to
7012 always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the
7013 OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx
7016 The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to
7017 handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for
7018 Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then
7019 we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.
7020 [Tim Costello <Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
7022 *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT
7023 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
7025 *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support
7026 Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and
7027 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.
7028 [Brian Martin <bmartin penguincomputing.com>]
7030 *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform
7032 [<Tim.Costello BTFinancialgroup.com>]
7034 *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions.
7037 *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site.
7038 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
7040 *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
7043 *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
7044 Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
7045 at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
7046 of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
7047 [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]
7049 *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.
7050 [Jon Travis <jtravis covalent.net>]
7052 *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the
7053 corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the
7054 proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
7056 Changes with Apache 2.0a2
7058 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
7062 *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
7063 small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
7064 users and groups. [David Reid]
7066 *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
7067 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
7069 *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
7070 is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
7072 *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
7073 When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
7074 no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
7075 [Allan Edwards <ake raleigh.ibm.com>]
7077 *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
7078 if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
7080 *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
7081 locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
7084 *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
7085 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
7087 *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
7088 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>]
7090 *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
7091 interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
7093 *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
7094 up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
7098 *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
7099 now logged correctly on BeOS.
7102 *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
7103 Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
7105 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>, Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
7107 *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
7108 shell path resolution.
7109 [William Rowe <wrowe lnd.com>] PR#3715
7111 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
7113 [Allen Prescott <allen clanprescott.com>]
7115 *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
7116 flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
7118 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
7120 *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
7121 which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
7122 confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
7123 rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
7124 explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
7125 ones to the example config [dirkx]
7127 *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
7128 configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
7131 *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
7132 including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
7134 *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
7135 config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
7136 it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
7137 expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
7138 by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
7139 to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
7140 can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
7141 usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
7142 hampers fancier hacks.
7143 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
7145 *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
7146 supports the asymetric
7148 ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
7150 Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
7151 has either the following syntaxes
7153 ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
7154 ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
7155 ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
7157 The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
7158 is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
7159 or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
7160 is assumed to be a message.
7162 This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
7163 of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
7164 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
7166 *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
7167 syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
7168 only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
7169 absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
7170 breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
7172 *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
7173 done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
7174 as static modules at this point.
7177 Changes with Apache 2.0a1
7179 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
7180 Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
7181 create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
7182 to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
7183 ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
7184 rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...
7185 [Jeff Trawick <trawick us.ibm.com>]
7187 *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
7188 [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
7190 *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
7194 *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
7195 Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
7196 Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
7197 passed in and number of bytes written.
7200 *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
7201 with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
7202 the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
7205 *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
7206 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
7208 *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
7209 bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
7210 some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
7211 errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
7212 chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
7215 *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
7216 [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
7218 *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
7220 *) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security
7221 problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
7222 or mod_vhost_alias).
7223 [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
7225 *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
7226 [Manoj Kasichainula]
7228 *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
7229 message without any of the date and time information. As a part
7230 of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
7231 and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
7232 writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
7233 stderr to the error log on all platforms.
7236 *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
7237 This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
7238 don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
7239 message on all of our platforms.
7242 *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
7243 [Paul Reder <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>]
7245 *) sendfile has been added to APR.
7246 [John Zedlewski <zedlwski Princeton.EDU>]
7248 *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
7249 [Manoj Kasichainula]
7251 *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
7252 interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
7254 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0
7255 [Dilip Khandekar <dilip cup.hp.com>]
7257 *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11
7258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7260 *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
7261 automatically for developers from src/Configure.
7262 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7264 *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
7265 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7267 *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
7268 to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
7271 *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
7273 *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
7274 incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
7276 *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check
7277 for a wildcard handler. [Dirk <dirkm teleport.com>, Roy Fielding]
7278 PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807
7280 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
7281 allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
7282 ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
7283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7285 *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
7287 Changes with Apache MPM
7289 *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
7290 dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
7293 *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
7296 *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility
7297 (per default used the config.option file).
7298 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7300 *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
7302 *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
7303 Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
7304 implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
7305 be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
7306 calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
7309 *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
7310 subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
7311 of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
7313 *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
7314 mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
7316 *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
7317 amongst the unix MPMs.
7319 *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
7320 signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
7322 *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
7323 of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
7325 *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
7327 *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
7328 based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
7330 *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
7331 ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase midcoast.com.au>]
7333 *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
7335 *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
7336 changes to the module API... better described by
7337 docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
7339 Changes with Apache pthreads
7341 *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
7342 buff operations (generally over a network).
7343 [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
7345 *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
7346 init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
7347 stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
7349 *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.
7350 [James Morris <jmorris intercode.com.au>]
7352 *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
7353 request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
7355 *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
7356 needed in a threaded server.
7358 *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
7359 [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
7362 Changes with Apache 1.3.9
7364 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
7365 Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
7366 was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
7368 *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
7369 explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
7372 *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
7373 than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
7376 *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
7377 Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
7378 Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
7379 and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
7381 *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
7382 just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
7384 *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
7385 in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
7386 correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
7387 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7389 *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
7390 an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
7391 is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
7393 *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
7394 problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
7395 output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
7397 *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
7398 routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
7399 pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
7400 like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
7401 The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
7402 now but deprecated. [dirkx]
7404 *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
7405 represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
7406 files. [Roy Fielding]
7408 *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
7409 checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
7411 *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
7413 *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
7414 assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
7415 exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
7417 *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
7418 src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
7420 *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
7421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7423 *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
7424 searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
7425 some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
7427 *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
7428 module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
7429 usual conventions for the installation procedure).
7430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7432 *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
7433 for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
7435 *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
7436 types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
7437 by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
7439 Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
7441 *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
7442 response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
7443 long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
7444 [Tom Vaughan <tvaughan aventail.com>, Roy Fielding]
7446 *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
7447 [Ian Turner <iant sequent.com>] PR#4735
7449 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
7450 name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
7452 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
7453 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>]
7455 *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
7456 up across restarts. [David Harris <dharris drh.net>]
7458 *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
7459 properly in mod_access.
7460 ["Paul J. Reder" <rederpj raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#4770
7462 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
7463 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>] PR#3874
7465 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
7466 [Michael Ottati <michael.ottati compaq.com>, dirkx]
7468 *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
7469 Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
7470 Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
7471 ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
7472 couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
7473 function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
7474 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong <clintdw netcom.com>]
7476 *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
7477 with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
7478 [David McCreedy <McCreedy us.ibm.com>]
7480 *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
7481 Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
7482 we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7484 *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
7485 a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
7486 NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
7488 Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
7490 *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
7491 the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
7492 are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
7493 "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
7494 single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
7495 one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
7496 at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
7498 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid <abb37 dial.pipex.com>]
7500 *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
7501 least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
7504 *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
7505 immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
7506 This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
7507 call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
7508 the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
7509 are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
7511 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7513 *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
7514 and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
7515 discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
7516 [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton <jeo101 york.ac.uk>] PR#4499, PR#3806
7518 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
7519 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
7521 *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
7522 built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
7523 install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
7524 editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
7525 create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
7526 used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7528 *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
7529 ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
7530 WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
7531 Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
7532 Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
7533 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7535 *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
7536 error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
7537 behave more like Unix.
7538 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7540 *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
7541 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
7543 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
7544 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
7546 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
7547 "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
7548 [Brian Havard] PR#4505
7550 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
7551 [Randy Terbush <randy covalent.net>]
7553 *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
7554 used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch <fanf demon.net>]
7556 *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
7557 command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7559 *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX
7560 [Rasmus Lerdorf <rasmus raleigh.ibm.com>]
7562 *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
7563 first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
7564 see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
7565 message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
7566 does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
7567 the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
7568 the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
7569 line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
7570 DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
7573 *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
7574 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
7575 [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
7577 *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
7578 Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
7579 listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
7580 could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
7581 All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
7582 the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
7583 MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
7584 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7586 *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
7587 the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
7588 parent/child process management code.
7589 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard raleigh.ibm.com>]
7591 *) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files.
7592 [John Giannandrea <jg meer.net>] PR#4122
7594 *) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which
7595 has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528
7596 [Henri Gomez <gomez slib.fr>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7598 *) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already
7599 use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7601 *) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:.
7604 *) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well
7605 as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar]
7607 *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
7608 content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
7610 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
7611 never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
7612 attacks. [Koen Holtman <Koen.Holtman cern.ch>]
7614 *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
7615 results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
7617 *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
7618 the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
7619 *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
7620 provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
7621 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
7623 *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
7624 size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
7625 (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
7626 to the man page. [Ken Coar]
7628 *) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in
7629 an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko]
7631 *) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured
7632 during configuration after a restart.
7633 [Aidan Cully <aidan panix.com>] PR#4456
7635 *) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather
7636 than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and
7637 the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both
7638 tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message
7639 if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar]
7641 *) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy
7642 of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]
7644 *) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function
7645 ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex
7646 library. [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum helios.de>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7648 *) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that
7649 environment variables can be set according to the protocol version
7650 (e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar]
7652 *) Add DSO support for OpenStep (Mach 4.2) platform.
7653 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Rex Dieter <rdieter math.unl.edu>] PR#3997
7655 *) Fix sed regex for generating ap_config_auto.h in src/Configure.
7656 [Jan Gallo <gallo pvt.sk>] PR#3690, PR#4373
7658 *) Switch to /bin/sh5 in APACI on Ultrix and friends to avoid problems with
7659 their brain-dead /bin/sh. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4372
7661 *) Better DSO flags recognition on NetBSD platforms using ELF.
7662 [Todd Vierling <tv pobox.com>] PR#4310
7664 *) Always log months in english format for %t in mod_log_config.
7665 [Petr Lampa <lampa fee.vutbr.cz>] PR#4366, 679
7667 *) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and
7668 HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on
7669 "/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req*
7670 routines will deal with the access issues. (It's now possible to
7671 have {site|group|project|customer|...} wide readmes and headers.)
7672 [Raymond S Brand <rsbx rsbx.net>, Ken Coar] PR#1574, 3026, 3529,
7675 *) When stat() fails, don't assume anything about the contents of
7676 the struct stat. [Ed Korthof <ed bitmechanic.com>]
7678 *) It's OK for a semop to return EINTR, just loop around and try
7679 again. [Dean Gaudet]
7681 *) Fix configuration engine re-entrant hangups, which solve a
7682 handful of problems seen with mod_perl <Perl> configuration sections
7683 [Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog msg.com.mx>]
7685 *) Mac OS and Mac OS X Server now use the appropriate custom layout
7686 by default when building with APACI; allow for platform-specific
7687 variable defaults in configure. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7689 *) Do setgid() before initgroups() in http_main; some platforms
7690 zap the grouplist when setgid() is called. This was fixed in
7691 suexec earlier, but the main httpd code missed the change.
7692 [Rob Saccoccio <robs InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2579
7694 *) Add recognition of .tgz as a gzipped tarchive.
7695 [Bertrand de Singly <bertrand.de-singly polytechnique.fr>] PR#2364
7697 *) mod_include's fsize/flastmod should allow only relative paths, just
7698 like "include file". [Jaroslav Benkovsky <benkovsk pha.pvt.cz>]
7700 *) OS/2: Add support for building loadable modules using DLLs.
7703 *) Add iconsdir, htdocsdir, and cgidir to config.layout.
7706 *) Fix minor but annoying bug with the test for Configuration.tmpl
7707 being newer than Configuration so that it is less likely to fail
7708 when using APACI and shadow sources. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7710 *) PORT: Add initial support for Mac OS (versions 10.0 and
7711 greater). Use Mac OS X Server layout for now. Clean up dyld code
7712 in unix/os.c, and don't install the dyld error handlers, which
7713 are no longer needed in Mac OS. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7715 *) Rename Rhapsody layout to "Mac OS X Server". Change install
7716 locations to appropriate ones for user-built (as opposed to
7717 system) installs. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
7719 *) Modify mod_autoindex's handling of AddDescription so that the
7720 behaviour matches the documentation. [Ken Coar] PR#1898, 3072.
7722 *) Add functionality to the install-bindist.sh script created by
7723 binbuild.sh to use tar when copying distribution files to the
7724 serverroot. This allows upgrading an existing installation
7725 without nesting the new distribution in the old.
7727 install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install
7728 apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter.
7730 Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files
7731 for apxs and dbmmanage to bindist to allow these scripts to
7732 be properly installed relative to the destination serverroot.
7733 [Randy Terbush, Covalent Technologies, <randy covalent.net>]
7735 *) Fix intermittent SEGV in ap_proxy_cache_error() in

7747 *) Force the LANG envariable to the known state of "C" so that we
7748 have assurance about how string manipulators (e.g., tr) will
7749 function. [Ken Coar] PR#1630
7751 *) Add a directive to allow customising of the tracking cookie name.
7752 [Ken Coar] PR#2921, 4303
7754 *) Add "force-no-vary" envariable to allow servers to work around
7755 clients that choke on "Vary" fields in the response header.
7756 [Ken Coar, Dmitry Khrustalev <dima zippy.machaon.ru>] PR#4118
7758 *) Fixed a bug in mod_dir that causes a child process will infinitely
7759 recurse when it attemps to handle a request for a directory wnd the
7760 value of the DirectoryIndex directive is a single dot. Also likely
7761 to happen for anyother values of DirectoryIndex that will map back

7854 a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file
7855 b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong

7893 [Keith Wannamaker, Ken Parzygnat, Bill Stoddard]
7895 *) Correct the signed/unsigned character handling for the MD5 routines;
7896 mismatches were causing compilation problems with gcc -pedantic and
7897 in the TPF cross-compilation. [Ken Coar]
7899 *) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving
7900 a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
7902 *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
7903 a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
7904 ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
7905 This allows for special configurations like
7906 <Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
7907 DefaultType gargle/blurb
7909 Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
7910 when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
7911 Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
7912 files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
7913 The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
7914 much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
7917 *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
7918 for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
7919 the permissions on the proxycachedir.
7920 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7922 *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first
7923 check wether it actually needs to collect garbage. This reduces
7924 the number of fork()s from one/request to just the odd one an hour.
7925 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
7927 *) Added proxy, auth and header support to src/support/ab.c. Added a
7928 README file to src/support/

7934 *) Add support for DSO module compilation on BSD/OS 3.x.
7935 [Randy Terbush, Covalent Technologies]
7937 *) Fix sed-substitutions in `make install': path elements like `httpd/conf'
7938 (for instance from an APACI configure --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf
7939 option) were substituted with $(TARGET).conf, etc. Same for other strings
7940 with dots where the dot wasn't matched as plain text.
7941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7943 *) PORT: Add support for FreeBSD 4.x [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7945 *) Fix verbose output of APACI configure (option -v)

7948 Changes with Apache 1.3.6
7950 *) Removed new PassAllEnv code due to DSO problems. [Lars Eilebrecht]
7952 Changes with Apache 1.3.5 [not released]
7954 *) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown
7955 methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821
7957 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
7958 to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
7960 *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
7961 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced
7962 incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now
7963 work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
7964 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald innovation.ch>] PR#3411
7966 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
7967 the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system
7968 DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration
7969 directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton]
7970 PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988
7972 *) WIN32: Binary installer now creates Start menu options to start
7973 and stop Apache as a console application and to uninstall
7974 the Apache service on NT. [Paul Sutton] PR#3741
7976 *) WIN32: Apache.exe now contains an icon. [Paul Sutton]
7978 *) PORT: Switch back to using fcntl() locking on Linux -- instabilities
7979 have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel
7980 version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531
7982 *) Using APACI, the main config file (usually httpd.conf) was
7983 not being adjusted as $(TARGET).conf. [Wilfredo Sanchez
7984 <wsanchez apple.com>]
7986 *) PORT: AIX does not require the SHARED_CODE "hack"
7987 [Ryan Bloom <rbb raleigh.ibm.com>]
7989 *) Set-Cookie headers were being doubled up for some CGIs by the O(n^2)
7990 avoidance code added in 1.3.3.
7991 [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Lewis <lewis stanford.edu>] PR#3872
7993 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
7994 for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
7996 *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
7997 because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
7998 Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
7999 third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban epfl.ch>] PR#3977
8001 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the
8002 DSO/DLL section because it's a directive from mod_status and isn't
8003 available before the DLL of mod_status is loaded.
8004 [Martin POESCHL <mpoeschl gmx.net>] PR#3936
8006 *) SECURITY: Fix a bug in the calculation of the buffer size for the line
8007 continuation facility in Apache's configuration files which could
8008 lead to a buffer overflow situation.
8009 [Thomas Devanneaux <Thomas.Devanneaux enst.fr>] PR#3617
8011 *) Make documentation and error messages of APACI's --activate-module=FILE
8012 option more clear. [Jan Wolter <janc wwnet.net>] PR#3995
8014 *) Fix the gcc version check (for enabling the `inline' facility) to
8015 really support all future gcc versions >= 2.7 until we know more.
8016 [John Tobey <jtobey banta-im.com>] PR#3983
8018 *) Let APACI's configure script correctly complain for unknown --enable-XXX
8019 and --disable-XXX options. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3958
8021 *) Link the shared core bootstrap program (``Rule SHARED_CORE=yes'') also
8022 against libap.a and use its ap_snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid
8023 possible buffer overflows. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8025 *) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init().
8026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8028 *) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout.
8031 *) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order
8032 to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
8034 *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
8035 the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8037 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
8038 (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
8039 correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
8040 Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
8041 analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
8043 *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
8044 DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
8045 Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
8046 Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
8047 instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
8048 the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
8049 The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
8051 [Michael van Elst <mlelstv serpens.swb.de>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160
8053 *) Added ap_sub_req_method_uri() for doing a subrequest with a method
8054 other than GET, and const'd the definition of method in request_rec.
8057 *) Use proper pid_t type for saving PIDs in alloc.c. [John Bley]
8059 *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate
8060 when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard]
8062 *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the
8063 UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of
8064 %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
8066 *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce
8067 more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch <dot dotat.at>]
8069 *) Fixed a few compiler nits. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>]
8071 *) Added informative error messages for failed munmap() and fseek() calls
8072 in http_core.c. [John Bley, Roy Fielding]
8074 *) Added some informative error messages for some failed malloc()
8075 calls. [John Bley <jbb6 acpub.duke.edu>, Jim Jagielski]
8077 *) OS/2 ap_os_canonical_filename()'s behaviour is improved: ap_assert()
8078 is removed. This allows <Directory proxy:*> directives to work and
8079 prevents invalid requests from killing the process.
8080 [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
8082 *) Reorganised FAQ document.
8083 [Joshua Slive <slive finance.commerce.ubc.ca>] PR#2497
8085 *) src/support/: The ApacheBench benchmark program was overhauled by
8086 David N. Welton: you can now have it generate an HTML TABLE, presumably
8087 for integration into other HTML sources. David updated the ab man page
8088 as well and added some missing descriptions. Thanks!
8089 [David N. Welton <davidw prosa.it>]
8091 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows filenames containing
8092 characters in the range 0x80 to 0xff (for example accented characters).
8093 [Paul Sutton] PR#3890
8095 *) Added conditional logging based upon environment variables to
8096 mod_log_config. mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent
8097 are now deprecated. [Ken Coar]
8099 *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real
8100 reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal
8101 server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism
8102 can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to"
8103 note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed.
8104 [Cliff Skolnick, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455, 4086
8106 *) Moved man pages for ab and apachectrl to section 8.
8107 [Wilfredo Sanchez, Roy Fielding]
8109 *) Added -S option to install.sh so that options can be passed to
8110 strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez]
8112 *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles
8113 the test case of no modules being selected. [<chaz reliant.com>]
8115 *) Added a <LimitExcept method ...> sectioning directive that allows
8116 the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that
8117 is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation
8118 of the <Limit> directive. This is particularly useful for controlling
8119 access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by
8120 some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch]
8122 *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but
8123 does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is
8124 being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
8126 *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen]
8128 *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being
8129 performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also,
8130 strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases.
8131 [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657
8133 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors.
8136 *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans"
8137 even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding]
8139 *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item()
8140 to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next
8141 list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments,
8142 quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes
8143 insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
8144 [Roy Fielding] PR#2065
8146 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
8147 code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
8148 "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455
8150 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
8151 negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
8152 and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688
8154 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
8155 unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
8156 to get the right result. [Roy Fielding]
8158 *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
8159 negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
8160 (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
8161 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
8162 some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]
8164 *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
8165 file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
8166 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]
8168 *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
8169 searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
8172 *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
8173 error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
8176 *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
8177 displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
8178 Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
8179 going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]
8181 *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
8182 and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
8183 being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password
8184 checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar]
8186 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses
8187 access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
8188 as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.
8190 *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will
8191 make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment.
8194 *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
8195 ap_compat.h. [David White <david persimmon.com>] PR#3725
8197 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.
8198 use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when
8199 the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based.
8200 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773
8202 *) Add ability to handle DES or MD5 authentication passwords.
8203 [Ryan Bloom <rbb Raleigh.IBM.Com>]
8205 *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling. [Dean Gaudet]
8207 *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping
8208 quoted strings. (This overflow was on the heap and we believe
8209 impossible to exploit.) [Rick Perry <perry ece.vill.edu>]
8211 *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus
8212 signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.
8213 [Doug Yatcilla <yatcilda umdnj.edu>] PR#3681
8215 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
8216 and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
8217 [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671
8219 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
8220 implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
8221 hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
8222 to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
8223 sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
8224 because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
8225 prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
8228 *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
8229 well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
8230 printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]
8232 *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
8233 and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
8236 Changes with Apache 1.3.4
8238 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
8239 and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
8240 mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]
8242 *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
8243 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
8246 *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
8247 filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its
8248 presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
8249 for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar]
8251 *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
8252 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
8253 [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
8255 *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
8256 and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
8257 Run each of the following from the src directory:
8258 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build
8259 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs
8260 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk
8261 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build
8262 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
8263 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
8266 *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
8267 to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]
8269 *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
8270 the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
8271 order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
8272 URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
8273 it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar]
8275 *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
8276 for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699
8278 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
8279 [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz cso.net>] PR#2575
8281 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
8282 search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
8283 for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv pobox.com>] PR#2462
8285 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
8286 compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into
8287 Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim mindspring.com>] PR#3572
8289 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
8290 backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
8291 context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
8292 because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
8293 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
8295 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
8296 making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
8297 depend on other libraries).
8298 [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger gmx.de>]
8300 *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
8301 recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
8302 in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
8303 module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527
8305 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
8306 allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
8307 an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
8308 Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
8310 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
8311 supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
8312 match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
8313 `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
8314 `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
8315 to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
8316 combination with map lookups).
8317 [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8319 *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
8320 forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
8321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8323 *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
8324 user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
8325 `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
8326 (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8328 *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
8329 module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
8330 has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]
8332 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
8333 - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
8334 - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
8335 the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
8336 - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
8337 encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
8338 included within Accept-Encoding.
8339 - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
8340 of large substring sequences.
8341 - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
8344 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
8345 - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
8346 - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
8347 support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
8348 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
8349 - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
8351 - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
8352 processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
8353 values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
8354 - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
8355 - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
8356 rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
8357 e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version.
8358 - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
8359 (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
8360 will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
8362 - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
8363 - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
8364 - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm
8365 to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
8366 - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
8367 negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
8368 - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
8369 file as its best variant

8381 CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]
8383 *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName
8384 setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet]
8386 *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
8387 rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
8388 This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
8389 the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]
8391 *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
8392 #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
8393 standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
8394 Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]
8396 *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg lentil.org>]
8399 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
8400 and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda discerning.com>] PR#3553
8402 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
8403 the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
8404 command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
8405 instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
8406 So we now changed the command line options this way:
8408 Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
8409 very similar to the popular linker option.
8411 Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
8412 large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also
8413 consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
8415 Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
8416 The manual page was adjusted accordingly.

8419 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
8420 wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>]
8422 *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
8423 o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
8424 initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
8425 \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
8426 containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
8427 "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
8428 argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
8429 o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
8430 redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
8431 loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
8432 `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
8433 case --with-layout is not used.
8434 o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
8435 Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
8436 config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
8437 four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is
8438 no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
8439 the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
8440 o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
8441 o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
8442 o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
8443 o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns

8463 defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]
8465 *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
8466 [Tom Serkowski <tks bsdi.com>] PR#3453
8468 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
8469 differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
8470 another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
8471 just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
8472 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
8474 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
8475 since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
8476 when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
8477 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
8479 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
8480 creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
8481 shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
8482 Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
8483 from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
8484 provided through the TOP variable, too.

8498 and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.

8501 *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
8502 They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
8503 IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8505 *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
8506 procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
8507 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8509 *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
8510 identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
8511 config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
8512 argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
8514 The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
8515 where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
8516 specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
8518 *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
8519 extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
8520 default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
8521 <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
8524 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
8525 APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
8526 file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
8527 the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
8528 with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.

8554 *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
8555 a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all
8556 bits set (255.255.255.255). This is the second such problem caused

8634 *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to
8635 on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
8636 in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
8637 supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
8638 mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
8639 the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END
8640 which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
8641 the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

8720 of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
8721 between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
8722 of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]

8869 we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
8870 portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
8871 configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
8872 approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
8873 the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
8874 As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
8875 existance of the file under /usr/include, too.

9373 *) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate directories consisting of three or more dots;
9374 these are treated by Win32 as if they are ".." but are not detected by
9375 other machinery within Apache. This is something of a kludge but
9376 eliminates a security hole. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ben Laurie]
9378 *) Move ap_escape_quotes() from src/ap to src/main/util.c; it uses
9379 pools and thus pollutes libap (until the pool stuff is moved there).
9382 *) IndexIgnore should be case-blind on Win32 (and any other case-aware
9383 but case-insensitive platforms). New #define for this added to conf.h
9384 (CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM). [Ken Coar] PR#2455
9386 *) Enable DSO support for OpenBSD in general, not only for 2.x, because it
9387 also works for OpenBSD 1.x. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9389 *) PORT: Fix compilation problem on ARM Linux.
9390 [Sam Kington <sam illuminated.co.uk>] PR#2443
9392 *) Let APACI's configure script determine some configuration parameters
9393 (Group, Port, ServerAdmin, ServerName) via some intelligent tests to
9394 remove some of the classical hurdles for new users when setting up
9395 Apache. This is done per default because it is useful for the average
9396 user. Package authors can use the --without-confadjust option to disable
9397 these configuration adjustments.
9398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9400 *) Added an EXTRA_DEPS configuration parameter which can be used
9401 to add an extra Makefile dependency for the httpd target, for instance
9402 to external third-party libraries, etc.
9403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9405 *) Add <IfDefine>..</IfDefine> sections to the core module (with same spirit
9406 as <IfModule>..</IfModule> sections) which can be used to skip or process
9407 contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command
9408 line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like <IfDefine
9409 ReverseProxy> instead of physically ones (e.g. <IfModule mod_proxy.c>)
9410 and thus especially can be used for conditionally loading DSO-based
9411 modules via LoadModule, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9413 *) PORT: clean up a warning in mod_status for OS/2. [Brian Havard]
9415 *) Make table elements const. This may prevent obscure errors. [Ben Laurie]
9417 *) Fix parsing of FTP `SIZE' responses in proxy module: The newline was not
9418 truncated which forced following HTTP headers to be data in the HTTP
9419 reponse. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Charles Fu <ccwf bacchus.com>]
9422 *) Portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed
9423 in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for
9424 instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined
9425 output of Awk. [Bill Houle <bhoule sandiegoca.ncr.com>] PR#2435
9427 *) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing
9428 integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting
9429 them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather
9430 than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and
9431 make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first
9432 regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good
9433 in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large
9434 directories. [Ken Coar]
9436 *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation
9437 of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used
9438 configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by
9439 just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between
9441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9443 *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
9444 If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
9445 non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
9446 configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
9447 on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
9448 because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
9449 This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
9450 to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run
9451 via `apachectl configtest'.
9452 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2393
9454 *) Minor display fix for "install" target of top-level Makefile:
9455 the displayed installation command was incorrect although the

9471 functions which are in libdld under HPUX 9/10.
9472 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2378
9474 *) Make sure the "install" target of the top-level Makefile doesn't break
9475 because of a return code of 1 from an "if" (for instance under braindead
9476 Ultrix the result code of an "if" construct is 1 if the "then" clause
9477 didn't match). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9479 *) Add an additional "dummy" target to the "$(LIB)" target in generated
9480 modules/xxx/Makefile's to avoid problems with SVR4 Make under "full-DSO"
9481 situation (no libxxx.a built, only mod_xxx.so's) where LIB and OBJS are
9482 empty. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dean Gaudet, Martin Kraemer]
9484 *) Replace two bad sprintf() calls with ap_snprintf() variants in
9485 mod_rewrite. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9487 *) Fix missing usage description for MetaFiles directive.
9488 [David MacKenzie <djm va.pubnix.com>] PR#2384
9490 *) mod_log_config wouldn't let vhosts use log formats defined in the
9491 main server. [Christof Damian <damian mediaconsult.com>] PR#2090

9498 *) Fix a typo in pool debugging code. [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria]
9500 *) mod_unique_id did not work on alpha linux (in general on any

9504 *) PORT: Make SCO 5 (and probably 3) compile again. [Ben Laurie]
9506 *) PORT: NCR MPRAS systems have the same bug with SIGHUP restart that
9507 Solaris systems experience. So define WORKAROUND_SOLARIS_BUG.
9508 [Klaus Weber <kweber chephren.germany.ncr.com>] PR#1973
9510 *) Change "Options None" to "Options FollowSymLinks" in the
9511 <Directory /> section of the default access.conf-dist
9512 (and -win even though it doesn't matter there). This has better
9513 performance, and more intuitive semantics. [Dean Gaudet]

9520 [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum helios.de>]
9522 *) Workaround for configure script and old `test' commands which do not
9523 support the -x flag (for instance under platforms like Ultrix). This is
9524 solved by another helper script findprg.sh which searches for Perl and
9525 Awk like PrintPath but _via different names_.

9550 Changes with Apache 1.3.0
9552 *) Using a type map file as a custom error document was not possible.

9555 *) Avoid problems with braindead Awks by additionally searching for gawk
9556 and nawk in APACI's configure script.
9557 [Dave Dykstra <dwd bell-labs.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2319
9559 *) Rename md5.h to ap_md5.h to avoid conflicts with native MD5 on
9560 some systems. [Randy Terbush]
9562 *) Change usage of perror()+fprintf(stderr,...) in mod_rewrite to
9563 more proper ap_log_error() variants.
9564 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9566 *) Make sure the argument for the --add-module option to APACI's configure
9567 script is of type [path/to/]mod_xxx.c because all calculations inside
9568 configure and src/Configure depend on this.
9569 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2307
9571 *) Changes usage of perror/fprintf to stderr to more proper ap_log_error
9572 in mod_mime, mod_log_referer, mod_log_agent, and mod_log_config.
9575 *) Various OS/2 cleanups ["Brian Havard" <brianh kheldar.apana.org.au>]

9578 serialized accept to handle multiple sockets.
9579 [Rob Saccoccio <robs InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2295, 2296
9581 *) Have NT properly set the directory for CGI scripts
9582 (& other spawned children)
9583 [W G Stoddard <wgstodda us.ibm.com>]
9585 *) Propagate environment to CGI scripts correctly in Win32.
9586 [W G Stoddard <wgstodda us.ibm.com>] PR#2294
9588 *) Some symbol renaming:
9589 ap_spawn_child_err became ap_spawn_child
9590 ap_spawn_child_err_buff became ap_bspawn_child
9591 spawn_child was obsoleted and moved to compat.h
9594 *) Upgrade the child spawning code in mod_rewrite for the RewriteMap
9595 programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses
9596 CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in
9597 the past under Win32).
9598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9600 *) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the
9601 generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9603 *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
9604 was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
9605 proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
9606 purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
9607 was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
9608 its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
9609 cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
9610 The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
9611 was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made
9613 [Martin Kraemer] PR#494, 1259
9615 *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed.
9618 *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"
9619 from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building
9620 ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed
9621 only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
9622 user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.
9623 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2288
9625 *) Renamed three more functions to common ap_ prefix which we missed at the
9626 Big Symbol Renaming because they're #defines and not real C functions:
9627 is_default_port(), default_port(), http_method().
9628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9630 *) A zero-length name after a $ in an SSI document should cause
9631 just the $ to be in the expansion. This was broken during the
9632 security fixes in 1.2.5. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1921, 2249
9634 *) Call ap_destroy_sub_req() in ap_add_cgi_vars() to reclaim some
9635 memory. [Rob Saccoccio <robs InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2252

9638 used under AIX) because of recent changes to function names.

9641 Changes with Apache 1.3b7
9643 *) Make sure a MIME-type can be forced via a RewriteRule even when no
9644 substitution takes place, for instance via the following rule:
9645 ``RewriteRule ^myscript$ - [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]'' This was often
9646 requested by users in the past to force a single script without a .cgi
9647 extension and outside any cgi-bin dirs to be executed as a CGI program.
9648 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2254
9650 *) A fix for protocol issues surrounding 400, 408, and
9651 414 responses. [Ed Korthof]

9655 *) Fix discrepancy in proxy_ftp.c which was causing failures when
9656 trying to connect to certain ftpd's, such as anonftpd.
9657 [Rick Ohnemus <rick ecompcon.com>]
9659 *) Make mod_rewrite use ap_open_piped_log() for RewriteLog directive's
9660 logfile instead of fiddling around itself with child spawning stuff.
9661 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9663 *) Made RefererIgnore case-insensitive.
9665 *) Mod_log_agent, mod_log_referer now use ap_open_piped_log for piped logs.
9668 *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything
9669 "safe" under Win32. In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c
9672 *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck <beck bofh.ucs.ualberta.ca>]
9674 *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort
9675 of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars.

9678 *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed.
9679 [Ben Laurie] PR#2238
9681 *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C
9682 library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles
9683 instead of C file descriptors.
9684 [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard <wgstodda us.ibm.com>] PR#1129, 1607
9686 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached
9687 file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching
9688 of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
9689 [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094
9691 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
9692 is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
9693 somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
9694 provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
9695 variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
9696 reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
9697 building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
9698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9700 *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
9701 provides for more control over the format of the Server:
9702 header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported;
9703 all module should use the ap_add_version_component()
9704 API function instead. [Jim Jagielski]
9706 *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0
9707 [John Withers <withers semi.kcsc.mwr.irs.gov>]
9709 *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
9710 not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
9711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9713 *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
9714 - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
9715 - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
9716 Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
9717 - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
9718 any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
9720 - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
9721 - updated the dependencies theirself
9722 - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
9723 - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
9724 already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
9725 directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
9726 contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
9727 - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
9728 - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
9730 - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
9731 of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
9732 - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
9733 existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
9734 - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
9735 with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
9736 is no longer needed.
9737 - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
9738 first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner
9739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9741 *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
9744 *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
9747 *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
9748 [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060
9750 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
9751 and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
9752 device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
9753 we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
9754 [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
9756 *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
9757 due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
9758 SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
9759 descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
9761 *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
9762 like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
9763 if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
9764 and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
9765 in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
9766 necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
9767 or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
9768 necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
9771 *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
9772 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
9773 htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
9775 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
9776 (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
9777 If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
9778 and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
9779 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
9780 configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
9781 had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
9782 UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
9783 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9785 *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
9786 - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
9787 shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
9788 - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
9789 - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
9790 only when no shadow trees already exists
9791 - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
9792 when no more shadow trees exists
9793 - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
9794 as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
9795 - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
9796 Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
9797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9799 *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
9800 AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
9801 declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
9802 augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
9803 with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
9804 AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
9805 into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056
9807 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
9810 *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
9811 [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
9813 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
9814 to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
9817 *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
9818 are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
9819 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
9820 and not the original statically list from modules.c
9821 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
9822 later use by the AddModule command.
9823 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
9824 target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
9825 this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
9826 confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
9827 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
9828 target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
9829 via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
9830 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
9831 is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
9832 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
9833 comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
9834 of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
9835 the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
9836 This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
9837 statically and dynamically linked modules.
9838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9840 *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the
9841 Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9843 *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command
9846 *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other
9847 places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551
9849 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
9850 zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert twinsun.com>]
9853 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature
9854 feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing
9855 r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some
9856 functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead,
9857 because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.

9908 Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
9909 from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
9910 mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
9911 vendor functions itself.

9914 *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
9915 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165
9917 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
9918 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158
9920 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
9921 AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
9922 accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
9923 which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
9924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9926 *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
9927 that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
9928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9930 *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
9933 *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
9934 is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
9935 whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer]
9937 *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
9938 of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
9939 maintainers from Red Hat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
9940 little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
9941 provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
9942 --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
9943 --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
9944 side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
9945 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9947 *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
9948 by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package
9949 maintainers (especially Debian and Red Hat) who build for the real prefix
9950 via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
9951 "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
9952 the target location on their system.
9953 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9955 *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now

9985 the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9987 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
9988 `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
9989 customize these for own MIME and content types.

10029 *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
10030 out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
10031 to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
10032 (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
10034 *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
10035 ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
10038 *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
10039 --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
10040 --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
10042 *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
10043 to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
10044 to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10046 *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
10047 ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
10048 message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
10049 to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
10051 *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
10052 stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
10053 [Ralf S. Engelschall]

10062 Changes with Apache 1.3b6
10064 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
10066 *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
10067 interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
10068 calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10070 *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
10071 APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
10072 Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10074 *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
10075 To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
10076 we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
10078 - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
10079 - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
10080 - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
10081 cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
10082 For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
10083 created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
10084 by third-party module authors.
10087 *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
10088 problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
10089 to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
10090 available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
10091 dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
10092 httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
10093 Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
10094 This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
10095 to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
10096 user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
10097 automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
10098 hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
10099 this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
10100 essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
10101 manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
10102 where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
10103 features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
10104 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
10106 *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
10108 *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
10109 inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
10110 conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
10111 "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
10112 process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
10113 source tree as it was for distribution.
10114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10116 *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
10117 the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
10118 initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
10119 variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
10120 prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
10121 This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
10122 user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10124 *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
10125 [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr mixi.net>] PR#2045
10127 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of

10129 remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
10130 to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]
10132 *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
10133 since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]
10135 *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
10137 *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
10138 experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
10139 an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
10140 prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules.
10141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10143 *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
10144 specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
10145 manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
10146 the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
10147 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10149 *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
10150 on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
10151 installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
10152 the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
10153 for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
10154 warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
10155 the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10157 *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
10158 and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
10159 Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
10160 a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
10161 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10163 *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
10164 installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
10165 dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
10166 this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The
10167 (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
10168 Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
10169 (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
10170 module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
10171 tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
10172 dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
10173 modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
10174 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
10175 on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
10176 first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
10177 APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10179 *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.
10180 [<Rainer.Scherg rexroth.de>] PR#1326, #1573, #1942
10182 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
10183 so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
10186 *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
10187 the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
10188 out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
10189 complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
10190 script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is
10191 to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
10192 the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the
10193 package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old
10194 configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
10195 customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10197 *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe.

10209 *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
10210 was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]
10212 *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
10213 a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
10214 routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines
10215 psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
10216 required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up
10217 various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
10220 *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because
10221 ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
10222 snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet]
10224 *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This
10225 is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
10226 are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
10227 maintained across exec().

10255 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
10256 therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
10257 is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
10258 Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with

10290 suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date
10291 and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
10292 document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
10293 Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10295 *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
10296 Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
10297 INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
10298 generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
10299 information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
10300 the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
10301 verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
10302 added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10304 *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
10305 from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the

10331 and regex. Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in
10332 the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by
10333 doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
10336 *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
10337 to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
10338 warnings [Jim Jagielski]
10340 *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
10343 *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
10344 mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
10345 checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
10346 HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
10347 checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
10348 from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
10349 the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
10350 especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
10351 be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together.
10352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10354 *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]
10356 *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source
10357 and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte. [Dean Gaudet]
10359 *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they
10360 end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems
10361 that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet]
10363 *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified
10364 port is in the appropriate range. [Ben Hyde]
10366 *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
10367 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>]
10369 *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
10370 (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
10371 ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
10372 modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
10373 building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
10374 least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10376 *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
10377 content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They
10378 must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
10379 be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs
10380 related to this. [Dean Gaudet]
10382 *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
10383 treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There
10384 is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup().
10387 *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
10388 are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
10389 error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10391 *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
10392 environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes
10393 with mod_setenv. So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit
10394 TZ variable. [Jay Soffian <jay cimedia.com>] PR#1888
10396 *) rputs() did not calculate r->sent_bodyct properly.
10397 [Siegmund Stirnweiss <siegst kat.ina.de>] PR#1900
10399 *) The CGI spec says that REMOTE_HOST should be set to the remote hosts's

10401 it to the IP address when unavailable.
10402 [Tony Finch <fanf demon.net>] PR#1925
10404 *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling
10405 modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and
10406 OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added. This way shared
10407 object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux,
10408 Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms!

10411 *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap"
10412 scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD
10413 and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD. [Dean Gaudet]
10415 *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
10416 mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
10417 files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated
10418 through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
10419 but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
10420 lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
10421 parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
10422 RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
10423 the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
10424 hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
10426 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no
10427 longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
10428 URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
10429 AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
10430 not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can
10431 be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
10432 does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
10433 also consistent with the Alias directive.
10434 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#1440
10436 *) Fix bug with mod_mime_magic causing certain files, including files
10437 of length 0, to result in no response from the server.
10440 *) The Configure script now generates src/include/ap_config.h which
10441 contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform.
10442 This file can then be included by external modules before including
10443 any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from
10444 Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were
10445 made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf
10446 defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
10448 *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where <VirtualHost> sections exist
10449 but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no
10450 chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus
10451 receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by
10452 remembering the server together with the config structure while
10453 configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a
10454 difference between the remembered server and the one calling us.
10455 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1790
10457 *) Fixed the DBM RewriteMap support for mod_rewrite: First the support now
10458 is automatically disabled under configure time when the dbm_xxx functions
10459 are not available. Second, two heavy source code errors in the DBM
10460 support code were fixed. This makes DBM RewriteMap's usable again after
10461 a long time of brokenness. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1696
10463 *) Now all configuration files support Unix-style line-continuation via
10464 the trailing backslash ("\") character. This enables us to write down
10465 complex or just very long directives in a more readable way. The
10466 backslash character has to be really the last character before the
10467 newline and it has not been prefixed by another (escaping) backslash.

10473 *) To deal with modules being compiled and [dynamically] linked
10474 at a different time from the core, the SERVER_VERSION and
10475 SERVER_BUILT symbols have been abstracted through the new
10476 API routines apapi_get_server_version() and apapi_get_server_built().
10479 *) WIN32: Preserve trailing slash in canonical path (and hence
10480 in PATH_INFO). [Paul Sutton, Ben Laurie]
10482 *) PORT: USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT has proven unreliable
10483 depending on the rev of Solaris and what mixture of modules
10484 are in use. So it has been disabled, and Solaris is back to
10485 using USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. Users may experiment with
10486 USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT at their own risk, it may speed
10487 up static content only servers. Or it may fail unpredictably.

10490 *) mod_test_util_uri.c created which tests the logic in util_uri.c.
10493 *) API: Rewrite of absoluteURI handling, and in particular how
10494 absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a
10495 "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been
10496 supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols
10497 which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests.
10499 In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a
10500 request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so
10501 that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set
10502 by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or
10503 translate_names phase.
10505 Plus changes to the virtualhost test suite for absoluteURI testing.
10507 This fixes several bugs with the proxy proxying requests to vhosts
10508 managed by the same httpd.
10511 *) API: Cleanup of code in http_vhost.c, and remove vhost matching
10512 code from mod_rewrite. The vhost matching is now performed by a
10513 globally available function matches_request_vhost(). [Dean Gaudet]

10527 address. [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr mixi.net>] PR#1885
10529 *) API: A new source module main/util_uri.c; It contains a routine
10530 parse_uri_components() and friends which breaks a URI into its component
10531 parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called
10532 parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules.
10533 Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI
10534 components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part
10535 from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure,
10536 you find on a ready-for-use basis:
10537 scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */
10538 hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */
10539 user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
10540 password; /* password, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
10541 hostname; /* hostname from URI (or from Host: header) */
10542 port_str; /* port string (integer representation is in "port") */
10543 path; /* the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */
10544 query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */
10545 fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */
10546 This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in
10547 code complexity for the proxy module (and maybe the vhost logic).
10550 *) Make all possible meta-construct expansions ($N, %N, %{NAME} and
10551 ${map:key}) available for all location where a string is created in
10552 mod_rewrite rewriting rulesets: 1st arg of RewriteCond, 2nd arg of
10553 RewriteRule and for the [E=NAME:STRING] flag of RewriteRule. This way the
10554 possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation
10555 locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10557 *) Fix initialization of RewriteLogLevel (default now is 0 as documented
10558 and not 1) and the per-virtual-server merging of directives. Now all
10559 directives except `RewriteEngine' and `RewriteOption' are either
10560 completely overridden (default) or completely inherited (when
10561 `RewriteOptions inherit') is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1325

10571 (like SunOS and FreeBSD) which don't accept the locking of pipes

10591 *) Add new RewriteMap types: First, `rnd' which is equivalent to the `txt'
10592 type but with a special post-processing for the looked-up value: It
10593 parses it into alternatives according to `|' chars and then only one
10594 particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential
10595 functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using
10596 Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of
10597 servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and
10598 `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an
10599 essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass
10600 virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using
10601 <VirtualHost> sections). [Ralf S. Engelschall, parts based on code from

10604 *) Add a new directive to mod_proxy similar to ProxyPass: `ProxyPassReverse'.
10605 This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in Location-headers on HTTP
10606 redirect responses sent by the remote server. This way the virtually
10607 mapped area is no longer left on redirects and thus by-passed which is

10797 *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup()

10799 because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built
10800 by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn,
10801 table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these
10802 routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and
10803 standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines.
10804 The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations.
10806 Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value
10807 which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only
10808 safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of
10809 the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table.
10810 i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main
10811 request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the
10812 main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as
10813 the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper
10814 usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details.
10815 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima bog.msu.su>, Dean Gaudet]
10817 *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files"
10818 which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly.
10819 Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no
10820 MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled.
10823 *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts
10824 which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts
10825 appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of
10826 "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set.

10830 *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should
10831 have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even
10832 some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition
10833 to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile
10834 time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change
10835 facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table
10836 structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts()
10837 to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet]
10839 *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP
10840 library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf]
10842 *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform.
10845 *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed:
10847 SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
10849 Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards
10850 and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the
10851 HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the
10852 OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for
10853 the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD
10854 and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to
10855 determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache
10856 to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard.

10885 The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that
10886 even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of

11342 *) Various improvements in detecting config file errors (missing closing
11343 directives for <Directory>, <Files> etc. blocks, prohibiting global
11344 server settings in <VirtualHost> blocks, flagging unhandled multiple
11345 arguments to <Directory>, <Files> etc.)
11348 *) Add support to suexec wrapper program for mod_unique_id's UNIQUE_ID
11349 variable to provide this one to suexec'd CGIs, too.
11350 [M.D.Parker <mdpc netcom.com>] PR#1284
11352 *) New support tool: src/support/split-logfile, a sample Perl script which
11353 splits up a combined access log into separate files based on the
11354 name of the virtual host (listed first in the log records by "%v").
11357 Changes with Apache 1.3b2 (there is no 1.3b1)
11359 *) TestCompile was not passing $LIBS [Dean Gaudet]
11361 *) Makefile.tmpl was not using $CFLAGS in the link phase.
11364 *) Add debugging code to alloc.c. Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
11365 rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
11366 low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
11367 Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
11368 and free() for each object. This is far more expensive and should
11369 only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
11370 Purify. See main/alloc.c for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
11372 *) Configure uses a sh trap and didn't set its exitcode properly.
11373 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1159
11375 *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
11376 explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
11377 From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
11378 only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
11379 vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
11380 the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
11381 moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]
11383 *) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
11384 be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
11385 for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
11386 gcc >= 2.7.x (so that we have fewer support issues with older
11387 versions). [Dean Gaudet]
11389 *) Fix support for Proxy Authentication (we were testing the response
11390 status too early). [Marc Slemko]
11392 *) CoreDumpDirectory directive directs where the core file is
11393 written when a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABORT or SIGABRT are
11394 received. [Marc Slemko, Dean Gaudet]
11396 *) PORT: Support for Atari MINT.
11397 [Jan Paul Schmidt <Jan.P.Schmidt mni.fh-giessen.de>]
11399 *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
11400 and stderr. stderr will not be detached until after the config
11401 files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
11402 messages. After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
11403 This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
11404 or crontabs. [Dean Gaudet] PR#523
11406 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
11407 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
11408 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
11410 *) send_fb would not detect aborted connections in some situations.
11413 *) mod_include would use uninitialized data when parsing certain
11414 expressions involving && and ||. [Brian Slesinsky] PR#1139
11416 *) mod_imap should only handle GET methods. [Jay Bloodworth]
11418 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
11420 *) mod_autoindex improperly counted &escapes; as more than one
11421 character in the description. It also improperly truncated
11422 descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
11425 *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155). Also
11426 "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
11429 *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
11430 and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
11431 redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
11432 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]
11434 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
11435 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
11436 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]
11438 *) PORT: Support Unisys SVR4, whose uname returns mostly useless data.
11439 ["Kaufman, Steven E" <Steven.Kaufman unisys.com>]
11441 *) Inetd mode (which is buggy) uses timeouts without having setup the
11442 jmpbuffer. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1064
11444 *) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
11445 reporting a select error over and over.
11446 [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>] PR#1107, 987, 588
11448 *) Fixed error in proxy_util.c when looping through multiple host IP
11449 addresses. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#974
11451 *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
11452 buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
11453 bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
11454 buffer boundary. [Dean Gaudet]
11456 *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
11457 the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on. As part of
11458 this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
11459 scoreboard_image was exported. This change fixes a race condition
11460 in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
11461 scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development. [Dean Gaudet]
11463 *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
11464 modules to register children with the parent for maintenance. It
11465 is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD. [Dean Gaudet]
11467 *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
11468 and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
11469 when it is available. The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
11470 by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS. At the moment reliable piped
11471 logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]
11473 *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
11474 meets_conditions(). This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
11475 handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
11476 the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.
11477 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding] PR#895
11479 *) Changes to mod_log_config to allow naming of format strings.
11480 Format nicknames are defined with "LogFormat fmt nickname", and can
11481 be used with "LogFormat nickname" and "CustomLog logtarget nickname".
11484 *) New module, "mod_speling", which can help find files even when
11485 the URL is slightly misspelled. [Martin Kraemer, Alexei Kosut]
11487 *) API: New function child_terminate() triggers the child process to
11488 exit, while allowing the child finish what it needs to for the
11489 current request first.
11490 [Doug MacEachern, Alexei Kosut]
11492 *) Windows now defaults to using full status reports with mod_status.
11493 [Alexei Kosut] PR #1094
11495 *) *Really* disable all mod_rewrite operations if the engine is off.
11496 Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
11497 weren't supposed to be. [Ken Coar] PR #991
11499 *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
11500 the time. Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
11501 show when the child has made forward progress. The parent samples this
11502 counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
11503 progress has been made in the timeout period. This reduces the static
11504 request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29. This scheme is only
11505 used by systems with memory-based scoreboards. [Dean Gaudet]
11507 *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
11508 to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote. [Marc Slemko] PR#1024
11510 *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support
11511 directory. This script allows you to do things such as
11512 "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
11513 line. [Marc Slemko]
11515 *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
11516 simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
11519 *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
11520 an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
11521 external libraries. [Ken Coar]
11523 *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
11524 other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
11525 offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
11526 authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
11527 http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
11528 mod_auth_sql option in the near future.
11530 *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]
11532 *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
11533 Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.
11535 *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
11536 of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
11537 cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]
11539 *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
11540 avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings. It is intended to hold
11541 the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable). An
11542 update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
11543 appropriate. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
11545 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
11546 deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN. The previous
11547 behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
11548 This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
11549 stop working. [Marc Slemko] PR#817
11551 *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
11552 verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
11553 the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
11554 on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
11555 of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]
11557 *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
11558 errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
11560 *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
11561 converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
11562 slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
11563 correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]
11565 *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
11566 Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel <amarkel encore.com>
11567 Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill <sborrill xemplar.co.uk>
11569 *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
11570 configured and running" entry in the error_log. Also build an
11571 object file at link-time that contains the current time
11572 (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
11573 message. [Ken Coar]
11575 *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
11576 This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
11577 the proxy. [Marc Slemko] PR#659
11579 *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the
11580 scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
11581 mod_status to see current server snapshot.
11583 *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
11584 independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
11585 moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
11586 [David J. MacKenzie]
11588 *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
11589 to log. This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
11590 such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]
11592 *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
11593 Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles. The old behavior
11594 of replacing a newline after <title> with a space causes the
11595 title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]
11597 *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.
11598 [David J. MacKenzie]
11600 *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
11601 files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]
11603 *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
11604 new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
11605 (*that's* new). [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352
11607 *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
11608 the server to use mmap() for static files. There are two
11609 compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
11610 required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
11611 number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
11612 default 32768). [Dean Gaudet]
11614 *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
11615 the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect. It is
11616 useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
11617 the headers/contents of the request. It does not run during subrequests
11618 because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
11619 request. [Dean Gaudet]
11621 *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
11622 each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
11625 *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened. This
11626 allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
11629 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
11630 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
11632 *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
11633 accept. In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
11634 locking were used. The method is chosen by the definition of
11635 USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h. xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
11636 and FLOCK for flock(). New options have been added:
11637 - SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
11638 - PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
11639 - USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
11640 Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
11642 - Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
11643 - Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
11644 - IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
11645 work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
11646 [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec vtcom.fr>,
11647 Martijn Koster <m.koster pobox.com>]
11649 *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
11650 mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use. But
11651 in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
11652 redundant to serialize accept(). Not all unixes do a good job with
11653 potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
11654 socket. It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
11655 the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
11656 and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
11657 [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
11659 *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
11660 some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
11661 the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
11662 available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
11663 now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
11664 We no longer default to -O2 optimization. [Jim Jagielski]
11666 *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
11667 module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
11668 Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own
11669 directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can
11670 create one. Modules can add compiler or library information to
11671 generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]
11673 *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in
11674 modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
11675 code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]
11677 *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
11680 *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
11681 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
11682 relative paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
11683 and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]
11685 *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
11686 N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
11687 components in the filename of an object.
11689 To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
11690 - Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
11691 <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
11692 character. For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
11693 match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
11694 like "/home/bob/public_html". This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
11695 - It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
11697 - Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.
11701 *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
11702 and corrupted paths. [Dean Gaudet]
11704 *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
11705 First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
11706 be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
11707 strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
11708 parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
11709 via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
11710 strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
11711 through the use of backreferences.
11712 Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
11713 code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function.
11714 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11716 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
11717 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
11718 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
11720 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
11721 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
11724 *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
11725 has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
11726 Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
11727 - the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
11728 - the matching process now is:
11729 - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
11731 - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
11732 - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
11733 name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
11734 *only on name-based vhosts*
11735 - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
11736 [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins sugarat.net>]
11738 *) dbmmanage overhaul:
11739 - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new
11740 - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
11741 GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
11742 - provide better seed for rand
11743 - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
11745 - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
11746 - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
11748 - added `check' command to check a users' password
11749 - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or
11750 dbm files exported with `view'
11751 - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
11754 *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
11755 the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
11756 for its sockets. bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket(). There
11757 was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
11758 registered cleanup. [Dean Gaudet]
11760 *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
11763 *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
11764 [Jason Venner <jason idiom.com>] PR#667
11766 *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
11767 the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
11768 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11770 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
11771 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
11773 *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
11774 SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
11775 for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]
11777 *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
11778 (courtesy of Paul Sutton). BrowserMatch* directives are still
11779 available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
11780 UnSetEnvIfZero directives. [Ken Coar]
11782 *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
11783 order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
11784 REMOTE_HOST). The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
11787 *) mod_access overhaul:
11788 - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
11789 and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
11790 - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config time.
11791 - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
11792 the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
11793 - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
11794 no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
11795 doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
11796 hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
11797 without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
11800 *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
11801 while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
11802 the large write and the buffer into a single writev(). (This is
11803 in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
11806 *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
11807 Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block. Cleaned
11808 up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c. Fixed
11809 a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
11810 of a response to be unduly delayed. [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]
11812 *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure. This is called
11813 once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s
11814 e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
11815 [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
11817 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
11818 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
11821 *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
11822 in some cases, but not in others. It now avoids it in all cases.
11825 *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
11826 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>] PR#904
11828 *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
11829 [Alexander L Jones <alex systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732
11831 *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
11832 by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
11833 or descending order. Just click on the column header. [Ken Coar]
11835 *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
11836 CPUs like the Alpha. Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
11837 the relatively safe direction. [Dean Gaudet] PR#344
11839 *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
11840 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>] PR#683
11842 *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
11843 listening socket. [Dean Gaudet]
11845 *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
11846 spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
11847 doubling each second. It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
11848 since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
11849 setting. The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
11850 the maximum. [Dean Gaudet]
11852 *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
11853 CGI scripts. This means that data will be sent to the client
11854 as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
11855 buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
11856 could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
11857 or output a complete buffer. It is no longer necessary to use an
11858 "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output. Given that most CGIs are written
11859 in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
11860 shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.
11862 "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
11863 without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
11864 HTTP/1.1 or SSL support. As such they would have had to implement
11865 the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
11866 to work properly in certain situations. Now, the only difference
11867 between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
11868 [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]
11870 *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
11871 bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
11872 switch. [Dean Gaudet]
11874 Changes with Apache 1.3a1
11876 *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
11877 if a specified library exists. [Jim Jagielski]
11879 *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
11880 [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes aw.sgi.com>]
11883 *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
11884 functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
11885 NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
11887 *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
11888 and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
11889 mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
11891 *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
11892 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>]
11894 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
11895 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
11896 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
11897 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
11899 *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
11900 match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new
11903 *) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
11906 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
11907 REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
11908 [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815
11910 *) Support the image map format of FrontPage. For example:
11911 rect /url.hrm 10 20 30 40
11912 ["Chris O'Byrne" <obyrne iol.ie>] PR#807
11914 *) PORT: -lresolv and -lsocks were in the wrong order for Solaris.
11915 ["Darren O'Shaughnessy" <darren aaii.oz.au>] PR#846
11917 *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
11918 the output of mod_info. ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
11920 *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
11921 addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
11922 names to be qualified by redirection.
11923 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>]
11925 *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
11926 header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
11929 *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
11930 3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
11931 URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
11932 redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
11933 braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
11934 no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
11935 mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
11936 an empty query string via "xxx?".
11937 This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
11938 i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
11939 exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
11940 the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
11941 no longer maintains an external version.
11942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11944 *) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
11945 once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
11946 See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
11948 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
11949 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
11951 *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
11952 processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
11955 *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
11956 string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
11958 *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
11959 settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
11960 src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
11962 *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
11963 directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
11964 if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
11965 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
11967 *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
11968 LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
11969 compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
11970 [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
11972 *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
11973 This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
11974 from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
11975 trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
11976 you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
11977 indexing then you'll want to add:
11979 Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
11981 before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
11983 *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
11984 [Dean Gaudet] PR#525
11986 *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
11987 giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
11988 and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
11991 *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
11992 ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]
11994 *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
11995 of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)
11996 command. [Ian Kluft <ikluft cisco.com>]
11998 *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
11999 request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
12001 *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
12002 main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
12004 *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
12005 nmake -f Makefile.nt
12006 Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
12008 *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
12009 potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
12011 *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
12012 for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
12013 enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
12015 *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
12016 avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
12017 and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
12018 The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
12019 work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
12022 *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
12023 to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
12024 [Dean Gaudet] PR#372
12026 *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
12027 module list. [Dean Gaudet]
12029 *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
12030 unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
12031 particularly important for high volume sites with a large
12032 HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
12033 and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
12034 httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
12036 *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
12037 busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
12039 *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
12040 (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
12043 *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
12044 the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
12045 compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
12046 would without sfio compiled in.
12049 *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
12050 usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
12051 selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
12054 *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
12055 will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not
12056 work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr netmatic.com>] PR#444
12058 *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
12059 passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.
12062 *) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
12063 request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
12064 how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]
12066 *) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
12067 so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]
12069 *) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
12072 *) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
12073 aggressively try to kill off specific children. For fastcgi.
12074 [Stanley Gambarin <gambarin OpenMarket.com>]
12076 *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
12078 *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
12079 When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
12080 attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]
12082 *) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added. [Jim Jagielski]
12084 *) PORT: Added Windows NT support
12085 [Ben Laurie and Ambarish Malpani <ambarish valicert.com>]
12087 Changes with Apache 1.2.6
12089 *) mod_include when using XBitHack Full would send ETags in addition to
12090 sending Last-Modifieds. This is incorrect HTTP/1.1 behaviour.
12091 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1133
12093 *) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
12094 gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
12095 actually be reached via that port/addr. [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]
12097 *) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
12098 properly. [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]
12100 *) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
12103 *) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
12104 and mod_include.c. [Dean Gaudet]
12106 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
12109 *) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
12110 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
12112 *) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a
12113 request body, the body has to be read from the net before allowing
12114 a keepalive session to continue. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
12116 *) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
12117 the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
12119 *) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with
12120 multiple occurrences of the same key. [Stephen Scheck
12121 <sscheck infonex.net>, Ben Laurie] PR#1604
12123 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
12124 cases. [Ben Reser <breser regnow.com>] PR#1366
12126 *) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
12127 in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500
12129 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
12130 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
12131 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
12133 *) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
12134 header, not an error, but a waste.
12135 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1683
12137 *) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.
12138 [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1599, PR#1666
12140 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
12141 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
12142 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
12144 *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
12147 *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
12148 the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
12149 mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
12151 *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
12152 some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]
12154 *) Fix MPE compilation error in mod_usertrack.c. [Mark Bixby]
12156 *) Quote CC='$(CC)' to improve recurse make calls. [Martin Kraemer]
12158 *) Avoid B_ERROR redeclaration on sysvr4 systems. [Martin Kraemer]
12160 Changes with Apache 1.2.5
12162 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
12163 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
12164 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
12166 *) Fix an improper length in an ap_snprintf call in proxy_date_canon().
12169 *) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
12170 directory listings. [Marc Slemko]
12172 *) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
12175 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
12176 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
12177 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
12179 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
12180 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
12182 *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
12183 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
12184 was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
12185 is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
12186 Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
12187 should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
12188 from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
12189 between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
12191 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
12192 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
12193 was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the previous note
12194 about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
12196 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
12197 permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
12198 The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
12199 be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
12200 htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
12202 *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
12203 Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial
12204 of service attack against the Apache server. Thanks to
12205 Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf boss.staszic.waw.pl> for reporting
12206 this. [Dean Gaudet]
12208 *) mod_include used uninitialized data for some uses of && and ||.
12209 [Brian Slesinsky <bslesins wired.com>] PR#1139
12211 *) mod_imap should decline all non-GET methods.
12212 [Jay Bloodworth <jay pathways.sde.state.sc.us>]
12214 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
12216 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
12217 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
12218 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson intranet.csupomona.edu>]
12220 *) mod_include did not properly handle all possible redirects from sub-
12221 requests. [Ken Coar]
12223 *) Inetd mode (which is buggy) uses timeouts without having setup the
12224 jmpbuffer. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1064
12226 *) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
12227 reporting a select error over and over.
12228 [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>] PR#1107
12230 Changes with Apache 1.2.4
12232 *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
12233 always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.
12234 [Marc Slemko, Roy Fielding]
12236 *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
12237 on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
12239 Changes with Apache 1.2.3
12241 *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
12242 result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
12243 supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
12244 PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]
12246 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
12247 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
12249 *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
12250 do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
12252 *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
12254 Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
12256 *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
12257 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
12258 paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
12261 *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
12262 USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
12265 *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
12266 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
12268 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
12269 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
12270 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
12272 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
12273 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
12276 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
12277 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
12279 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
12280 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
12283 *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
12284 mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
12285 o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
12286 minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
12288 - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
12289 - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string
12290 - fixed forced response code on redirects (PR#777)
12291 - fixed cases where r->args is ""
12292 - kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
12293 - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
12294 - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
12295 o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
12296 o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
12297 find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
12298 o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
12299 o fixed a few comment typos
12300 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12302 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
12303 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
12305 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
12306 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
12307 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
12308 Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
12309 a deficiency in the header_parse phase.
12310 [Dean Gaudet] PR#875
12312 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
12313 REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
12314 [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815

12319 *) The proxy didn't treat the "Host:" keyword of the host header as case-
12320 insensitive. The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
12321 an HTTP/0.9 server. [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814

12327 under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
12328 [Dean Gaudet] PR#832
12330 *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
12331 is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
12332 of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
12333 handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
12334 what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
12335 next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
12336 has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378

12344 Changes with Apache 1.2.1
12346 *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
12347 symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
12348 or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of
12351 *) SECURITY: HeaderName and ReadmeName were settable in .htaccess and
12352 could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
12353 the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
12355 *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
12356 (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
12357 mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
12359 *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
12360 BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
12362 *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
12363 if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
12364 to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
12365 options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
12367 *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
12368 lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
12369 [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
12372 *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
12373 body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
12374 not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
12376 *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
12377 makes. [Marc Slemko]
12379 *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.
12380 [Dean Gaudet] PR#644
12382 *) mod_include was not properly changing the current directory.
12383 [Marc Slemko] PR#742
12385 *) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
12386 handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
12387 solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
12388 descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
12389 can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
12390 which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
12391 this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
12392 log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
12393 you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
12394 [Dean Gaudet] various PRs
12396 *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
12397 log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
12398 problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
12399 directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
12400 work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]
12402 *) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
12405 *) Improved unix error response logging. [Marc Slemko]
12407 *) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6. New ruleflag
12408 QSA=query_string_append. Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
12409 when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special

12451 *) Added undocumented perl SSI mechanism for -DUSE_PERL_SSI and mod_perl.
12452 [Doug MacEachern, Rob Hartill]
12454 *) Proxy needs to use hard_timeout instead of soft_timeout when it is
12455 reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
12456 a custom timeout handler. [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]
12458 *) Fixed problem on IRIX with servers hanging in IdentityCheck,
12459 apparently due to a mismatch between sigaction and setjmp.
12460 [Roy Fielding] PR#502
12462 *) Log correct status code if we timeout before receiving a request (408)
12463 or if we received a request-line that was too long to process (414).
12464 [Ed Korthof and Roy Fielding] PR#601
12466 *) Virtual hosts with the same ServerName, but on different ports, were
12467 not being selected properly. [Ed Korthof]
12469 *) Added code to return the requested IP address from proxy_host2addr()
12470 if gethostbyaddr() fails due to reverse DNS lookup problems. Original
12471 change submitted by Jozsef Hollosi <hollosi sbcm.com>.
12472 [Chuck Murcko] PR#614
12474 *) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
12475 data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
12476 scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
12477 causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.

12480 *) The OS/2 handling of process group was broken by a porting patch for
12481 MPE, so restored prior code for OS/2. [Roy Fielding and Garey Smiley]
12483 *) Inherit virtual server port from main server if none (or "*") is
12484 given for VirtualHost. [Dean Gaudet] PR#576
12486 *) If the lookup for a DirectoryIndex name with content negotiation
12487 has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
12488 negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
12489 [Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]
12491 *) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
12492 loop would try to read another request even though the connection
12493 has been aborted. [Roy Fielding]
12495 *) Configure changes: Allow for whitespace at the start of a
12496 Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
12497 CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
12498 flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]
12500 *) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
12501 original request-line. [Roy Fielding]
12503 *) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
12504 we don't want the error message to include those fields. Likewise,
12505 reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
12506 before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
12507 message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]
12509 *) Restored the semantics of headers_out (headers sent only with 200..299
12510 and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
12511 Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
12512 (the usual case). [Roy Fielding]
12514 *) Fixed a couple places where a check for the default Content-Type was
12515 not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
12516 directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h. Changed the value
12517 of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).
12518 [Dean Gaudet] PR#506
12520 *) Escape the HTML-sensitive characters in the Request-URI that is
12521 output for each child by mod_status. [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar] PR#501
12523 *) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
12524 around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
12527 *) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
12528 (and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
12529 the CGI script filename. The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
12530 been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
12531 script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
12532 This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
12533 in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
12536 *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
12537 that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
12538 But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
12539 forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
12540 to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
12541 updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
12543 *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
12544 generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
12545 body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
12546 message body again. [Rob Hartill]
12548 *) signal() replacement conflicted with a define on QNX (and potentially
12549 other platforms). Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#512
12551 Changes with Apache 1.2b10
12553 *) Allow HTTPD_ROOT, SERVER_CONFIG_FILE, DEFAULT_PATH, and SHELL_PATH
12554 to be configured via -D in Configuration. [Dean Gaudet] PR#449
12556 *) <VirtualHost _default_:portnum> didn't work properly. [Dean Gaudet]
12558 *) Added prototype for mktemp() for SUNOS4 [Marc Slemko]

12561 config, in case the hostent struct returned is trash.
12562 [Chuck Murcko] PR #491
12564 *) Fixed the fix in 1.2b9 for parsing URL query info into args for CGI
12565 scripts. [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
12567 Changes with Apache 1.2b9 [never announced]
12569 *) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
12570 changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
12572 *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
12573 the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop). Apache will now stop
12574 trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.
12575 [Roy Fielding and Nathan Kurz] PR#335
12577 *) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
12578 than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;
12579 rearranged other modules to enhance understanding of their purpose
12580 and relative order (and maybe even reduce some overhead).
12581 [Roy Fielding and Sameer Parekh]
12583 *) Fix graceful restart. Eliminate many signal-related race
12584 conditions in both forms of restart, and in SIGTERM. See
12585 htdocs/manual/stopping.html for details on stopping and
12586 restarting the parent. [Dean Gaudet]
12588 *) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include. Tune
12589 memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to
12590 be allocated. [Dean Gaudet]
12592 *) Allow suexec to access files relative to current directory but not
12593 above. (Excluding leading / or any .. directory.) [Ken Coar]

12600 while obtaining the /~user and save the username in a separate data
12601 area so that it won't be overwritten by the call to getgrgid(), and
12602 fix some misuse of the pool string allocation functions. Also fixes
12603 a general problem with parsing URL query info into args for CGI scripts.

12606 *) Fix IRIX warning about bzero undefined. [Marc Slemko]

12611 AuthDBAuthoritative. [Marc Slemko] PR#420
12613 *) MaxClients should be at least 1. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#375
12615 *) The default handler now logs invalid methods or URIs (i.e. PUT on an
12616 object that can't be PUT, or FOOBAR for some method FOOBAR that
12617 apache doesn't know about at all). Log 404s that occur in mod_include.
12618 [Paul Sutton, John Van Essen]
12620 *) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
12621 buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
12622 then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373
12624 *) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
12625 parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
12626 at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
12627 image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
12628 read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
12629 so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
12630 padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232
12632 *) Fixed SIGSEGV problem when a DirectoryIndex file is also the source
12633 of an external redirection. [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]
12635 *) Configure would create a broken Makefile if the configuration file
12636 contained a commented-out Rule. [Roy Fielding]
12638 *) Promote per_dir_config and subprocess_env from the subrequest to the
12639 main request in mod_negotiation. In particular this fixes a bug
12640 where <Files> sections wouldn't properly apply to negotiated content.
12643 *) Fix a potential deadlock in mod_cgi script_err handling.
12644 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12646 *) rotatelogs zero-pads the logfile names to improve alphabetic sorting.
12647 [Mitchell Blank Jr]
12649 *) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
12650 .htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
12651 Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
12652 <Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12654 *) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
12655 1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
12656 USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
12657 HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
12658 [Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340
12660 *) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
12661 request. [Dean Gaudet]

12673 *) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
12676 *) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
12677 necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
12678 exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]
12680 *) More signed/unsigned port fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
12682 *) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
12685 Changes with Apache 1.2b8
12687 *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
12688 to it. [Marc Slemko]
12690 *) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
12691 sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
12692 the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
12694 *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
12695 signal is received. [Ken Coar]
12697 *) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
12698 spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
12699 are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
12700 about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
12701 now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
12703 *) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
12704 log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
12706 *) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
12708 *) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
12709 processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
12710 of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
12711 in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
12713 *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
12714 (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
12715 full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
12716 as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
12718 *) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
12720 *) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
12722 *) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
12724 *) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
12725 spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
12726 event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
12727 before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
12729 *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
12730 never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
12731 We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
12732 didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
12733 transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
12735 *) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
12736 Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
12737 the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
12738 We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
12739 ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
12740 while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
12742 *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
12743 to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
12745 *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
12746 connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
12747 of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
12748 improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
12749 be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
12750 is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
12751 responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
12752 accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
12754 *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
12755 and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
12756 resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
12757 requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
12758 continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
12759 send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
12760 around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
12761 propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
12763 *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
12766 *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
12767 name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
12768 info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
12771 *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
12772 new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
12774 *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
12775 name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
12777 *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
12778 initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
12780 *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
12781 file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
12783 *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
12785 *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
12786 to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
12788 *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
12789 fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
12791 *) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
12793 *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
12794 Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
12795 no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
12796 [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
12798 *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
12799 mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
12801 *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
12802 charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
12803 listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
12805 *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
12806 when nalloc==0. [Kai Risku <krisku tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]
12808 *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
12809 [Petr Lampa] PR#160
12811 *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
12814 *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
12815 due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
12817 *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
12818 since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
12820 *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
12821 not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.

12824 *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
12825 in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
12827 *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
12828 [Garey Smiley] PR #59
12830 *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
12831 path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
12833 *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
12834 and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
12835 other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
12836 with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
12838 *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
12839 AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
12840 redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
12841 RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
12842 special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
12843 can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
12844 time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12846 *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
12847 Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
12848 place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
12849 with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
12850 in use. [Ben Laurie]
12852 *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
12853 initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
12854 comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
12856 *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
12857 caused a SEGV on some systems.
12859 *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
12862 *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
12864 *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
12865 introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
12866 [Dean Gaudet] PR #212
12868 Changes with Apache 1.2b7
12870 *) Port to UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]
12872 *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
12874 *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
12875 - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
12876 - save variant-list into main request notes
12877 - free allocated memory from subrequests
12878 - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
12880 *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
12881 "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
12884 *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
12885 - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
12886 - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
12887 - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
12888 - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
12889 specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
12890 on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
12891 perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
12892 - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
12895 *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
12896 after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
12899 *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
12900 character if the next character is one that needs
12901 escaping. [Ben Laurie]
12903 *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
12904 used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
12905 [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno tc.hsa.nl>]
12907 *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
12908 one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
12910 *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
12911 print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
12913 *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
12914 [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
12916 *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
12917 read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
12919 *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
12920 read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
12921 the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
12923 *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
12924 select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
12925 checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
12926 account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
12927 prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
12928 socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
12929 EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
12930 improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
12932 *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
12933 auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
12934 and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
12936 *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
12937 server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
12939 *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
12940 - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
12941 - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
12942 - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
12943 - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
12945 *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
12948 *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
12949 since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
12950 [Harald T. Alvestrand]
12952 *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
12953 [Ben Laurie, reported by <geddis tesserae.com>]
12955 *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
12956 http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
12957 [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]
12959 *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
12960 as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
12961 [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
12963 *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
12964 due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
12965 it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
12967 *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
12968 sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
12969 SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
12970 [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
12972 *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
12973 causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
12974 wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
12976 *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
12977 the clean environment on some systems.
12979 *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
12980 bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
12981 Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
12984 *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]
12986 *) Port to HP MPE operating system for HP 3000 machines
12987 [Mark Bixby <markb cccd.edu>]
12989 *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
12990 given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
12992 *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
12994 *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
12995 until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
12996 This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
12997 an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
12998 performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
12999 many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
13000 must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
13001 or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
13003 *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
13005 *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
13006 fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
13008 *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
13009 for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
13011 *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
13012 and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
13015 *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
13017 *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
13019 Changes with Apache 1.2b6
13021 *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]
13023 *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
13024 accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
13025 1.2b5 was never a public beta.
13027 Changes with Apache 1.2b5
13029 *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
13030 MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
13032 *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
13033 regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
13036 *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
13037 Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
13039 *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
13040 scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
13041 defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
13043 *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
13046 *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
13047 overflows. [Marc Slemko]
13049 *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
13050 as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
13052 *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
13055 *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
13056 to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
13057 continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
13059 *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
13060 than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
13062 *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
13065 *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
13066 CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
13068 *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
13071 *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
13072 when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
13075 *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
13076 recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
13077 be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
13079 - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
13080 directory and below.
13081 - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
13082 - restrict passed environment to known variables
13083 - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
13084 - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
13086 *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
13088 *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
13090 *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
13092 *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
13094 *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
13095 MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
13096 problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
13098 *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
13099 AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
13101 *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
13102 It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
13104 *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
13107 *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
13108 caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
13109 handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
13110 Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
13112 *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
13114 *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
13116 *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
13118 *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
13119 server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
13121 *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
13122 found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
13124 *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
13125 double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
13126 status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
13128 *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
13129 interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
13130 that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
13131 we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
13132 prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
13133 reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
13135 *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
13136 [<mgyger itr.ch>, Adrian Filipi-Martin]
13138 *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
13139 select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
13140 [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from <adrian virginia.edu>]
13142 *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
13143 continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
13144 would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
13145 count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
13146 are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
13148 *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
13149 Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
13150 Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
13152 *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
13154 Changes with Apache 1.2b4
13156 *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
13157 could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
13158 overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
13161 *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
13163 *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
13164 defined for some systems.
13166 *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
13169 *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
13170 style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
13172 *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
13173 execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
13175 *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
13177 *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
13179 Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
13181 *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
13182 freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
13184 *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
13186 *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
13189 *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
13191 *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
13192 ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
13194 *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
13195 currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
13196 control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
13197 those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
13198 allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
13201 *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
13202 the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
13204 *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
13206 *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
13207 1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
13208 2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
13209 3. CGI command lines paramters problems
13210 4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
13211 [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
13213 *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
13214 a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
13215 argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
13217 *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
13218 handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
13220 *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
13222 *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
13223 r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
13226 *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
13227 Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
13229 *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
13230 using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
13232 *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
13233 by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
13237 *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
13238 PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
13239 Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
13240 [later removed in 1.2b11]
13242 *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
13243 arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
13245 *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
13247 *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
13248 NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
13250 *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
13251 redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
13252 in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
13254 Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
13256 *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
13257 This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
13258 bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
13260 *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
13262 *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
13264 *) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
13265 1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
13266 2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
13267 host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
13268 and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
13269 3) Adds Host: header when not available
13270 4) Some code cleanup and clarification
13272 *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
13273 1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
13274 be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
13275 2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
13276 3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [<perrot lal.in2p3.fr>]
13277 4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
13278 [Ben Yoshino <ben wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
13279 5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
13282 *) Fix infinite loop when processing Content-language lines in
13283 type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]
13285 *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]
13287 *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
13288 for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]
13290 *) Added PORTING information file. [Jim Jagielski]
13292 *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]
13294 *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]
13296 *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
13297 USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.
13299 *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
13300 which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.
13302 *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
13303 http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]
13305 *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
13306 and portable isdigit() test. [Ben Laurie]
13308 *) Updated Configure for ...
13309 OS/2 (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
13310 *-dg-dgux* (bad pattern match)
13311 QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
13312 *-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
13314 *-unixware211 (new)
13315 and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
13317 *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
13318 for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
13320 *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
13321 SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
13322 SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
13323 SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
13324 IRIX64 (-sgi-irix64)
13325 ULTRIX (-unknown-ultrix)
13326 SINIX (-whatever-sysv4)
13327 NCR Unix (-ncr-sysv4)
13328 and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath [Ben Laurie]
13330 Changes with Apache 1.2b1
13332 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>
13334 Changes with Apache 1.1.1
13336 *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
13337 logfile for each access [Mark Cox]
13339 *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
13340 leak. [Nathan Neulinger]
13342 *) MultiViews now works correctly with AddHandler [Alexei Kosut]
13344 *) Problems with mod_auth_msql fixed [Dirk vanGulik]
13346 *) Fix misspelling of "Anonymous_Authorative" directive in mod_auth_anon.
13348 Changes with Apache 1.1.0
13350 *) Bring NeXT support up to date. [Takaaki Matsumoto]
13352 *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]
13354 *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
13355 [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]
13357 *) Allow ScanHTMLTitles to work with lowercase <title> tags. [Alexei Kosut]
13359 *) Fix missing address family for connect, also remove unreachable statement
13360 in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]
13362 *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.
13364 *) Bugs which were fixed:
13365 a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
13366 b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
13367 c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [<osm interguide.com>]
13368 d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [<jk tools.de>]
13370 Changes with Apache 1.1b4
13372 *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
13374 *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
13376 *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
13378 *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
13380 *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
13383 *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]
13385 *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.
13387 *) Actions now work with files of the default type.
13389 *) Bugs which were fixed:
13390 a) more mod_proxy bugs
13391 b) early termination of inetd requests
13392 c) compile warnings on several systems
13393 d) problems when scripts stop reading output early
13395 Changes with Apache 1.1b3
13397 *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
13398 various security holes found and that we could no longer support
13401 *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
13402 instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
13403 Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
13405 *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
13408 *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
13409 (No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
13411 *) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
13412 functions now available to modules.
13414 *) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
13417 *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
13418 special URL, a la mod_status.
13420 *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
13421 for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.
13423 *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.
13425 *) MSQL authentication module improvements.
13427 *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]
13429 *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication
13432 *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
13433 less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
13434 value. [Alexei Kosut]
13436 *) Bugs which were fixed:
13437 a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
13438 b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
13439 c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
13440 d) RefererIgnore problems
13441 e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
13442 Linux and elsewhere).
13444 Changes with Apache 1.1b2
13447 a) core dumps in mod_digest
13448 b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
13449 c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files
13451 Changes with Apache 1.1b1
13453 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>
13455 Changes with Apache 1.0.3
13457 *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
13458 query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
13461 *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
13462 directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
13465 *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
13467 *) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
13470 *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
13472 *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
13473 This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
13474 send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
13477 *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
13478 lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
13480 *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
13481 now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
13482 which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
13484 *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
13486 *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
13487 which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
13489 *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
13492 *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
13493 particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
13495 *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
13497 Changes with Apache 1.0.2
13499 *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
13500 a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
13502 *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
13505 *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
13506 setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
13507 broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
13508 for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
13510 *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
13513 *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
13515 *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
13516 one. [David Robinson]
13518 *) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
13520 Changes with Apache 1.0.1
13522 *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
13525 *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
13526 and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
13527 relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
13529 *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
13530 had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
13531 initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
13534 *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
13535 out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
13536 The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
13537 be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
13538 system failure. [Ben Laurie]
13540 *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
13542 Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
13544 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
13546 Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
13548 *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
13550 *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
13551 given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
13552 back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
13554 *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
13555 generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
13556 accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
13557 a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
13559 *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
13560 extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
13562 *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
13563 "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
13564 that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
13566 *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
13568 *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
13570 *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
13571 to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
13574 *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
13575 parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
13577 *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
13580 *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
13582 *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
13583 in redirects [David Robinson]
13585 Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
13587 *) Switched to new, simpler license
13589 *) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
13591 *) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
13593 *) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
13595 *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
13598 *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
13600 *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
13601 so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
13604 *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
13607 *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
13609 *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
13612 *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
13613 entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
13615 *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
13618 *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
13619 containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
13621 *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
13623 *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
13625 *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
13627 *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
13629 *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
13631 *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
13633 *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
13635 *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
13637 *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
13640 Changes with Apache 0.8.14 19 Sep 1995
13642 *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]
13644 *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]
13646 *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
13647 privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]
13649 *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
13650 that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
13653 *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
13654 is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]
13656 *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]
13658 Changes with Apache 0.8.13 07 Sep 1995
13660 *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]
13662 *) Have built-in imagemap code recognize & honor Point directive [James
13665 *) Generate cleaner directory listings in directories with a mix of
13666 long and short filenames [Rob Hartill]
13668 *) Properly initialize dynamically loaded modules [Royston Shufflebotham]
13670 *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]
13672 *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
13673 Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]
13675 *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
13676 allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
13677 if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]
13679 *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
13680 on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]
13682 *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
13685 *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]
13687 *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
13688 [Tobias Weingartner]
13690 Changes with Apache 0.8.12 31 Aug 1995
13692 *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
13693 too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
13694 subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
13695 after the entire document has been processed). [Robert Thau]
13697 *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off. (Ooops). [David Robinson]
13699 *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]
13701 *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
13702 same directory [David Robinson]
13704 *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
13705 causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
13706 *particular* index.html file) to fail. [David Robinson]
13708 *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
13709 authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
13710 client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
13711 needed here yet). [Robert Thau]
13713 *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]
13715 *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]
13717 *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
13718 requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
13719 do RFC931. [David Robinson]
13721 *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
13724 *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]
13726 *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]
13728 Changes with Apache 0.8.11 24 Aug 1995
13730 *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work. [Robert Thau]
13732 *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
13734 *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
13735 the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
13736 up to it. [Robert Thau]
13738 *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
13739 in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]
13741 *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
13742 "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
13744 *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
13745 other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
13747 *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
13748 [Florent Guillaume]
13750 *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
13751 --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
13752 (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
13753 icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
13756 *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
13759 *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
13762 *) Fixed English in the license language... "for for" --> "for".
13765 *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
13766 mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
13767 adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
13768 to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
13769 ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
13770 NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
13773 Changes with Apache 0.8.10 18 Aug 1995
13775 *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
13776 subdirectories. [David Robinson]
13778 *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
13779 using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
13780 not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
13781 if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
13782 lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris. [David Robinson;
13783 thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].
13785 Changes with Apache 0.8.9 12 Aug 1995
13787 *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]
13789 *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
13790 for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
13791 which try to print out the last-modified date). [Eric Hagberg/Robert
13794 *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
13795 URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
13796 else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility. (Note that
13797 this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
13798 code just by asking for it). [Robert Thau]
13800 *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
13803 *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
13804 then going insane [David Robinson]
13806 *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
13808 *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]
13810 *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
13811 workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
13812 if you still want the workaround). [Rob Hartill]
13814 *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
13815 content negotiation. (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
13816 for the new HTTP draft). [Florent Guillaume]
13818 *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]
13820 *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]
13822 *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
13825 *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
13826 paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]
13828 *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
13831 *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
13832 it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
13833 workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
13834 alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
13835 [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]
13837 *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]
13839 *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include. [Brian
13840 Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]
13842 *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
13844 *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]
13846 *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]
13848 Changes with Apache 0.8.8 08 Aug 1995
13850 *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
13851 requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
13852 people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
13855 (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
13856 SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
13857 -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES. Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
13858 with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
13861 *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
13862 to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.
13864 Changes with Apache 0.8.7 03 Aug 1995
13866 *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
13867 [reported by David Robinson]
13869 *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]
13871 *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
13872 experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
13875 Changes with Apache 0.8.6 02 Aug 1995
13877 *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
13878 (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
13879 couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]
13881 *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
13882 GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
13883 [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]
13885 *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala". [Reported by Chuck Murcko]
13887 *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
13888 not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
13889 and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable). On
13890 all other systems, these are never used anyway. [Reported by Mark Cox].
13892 *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.
13894 Changes with Apache 0.8.5 01 Aug 1995
13896 *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module
13898 *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
13899 properly. (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).
13901 *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
13902 It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
13903 If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
13904 comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
13905 spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).
13907 *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.
13909 *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX. A/UX is *weird*. [Eric Hagberg,
13912 *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].
13914 *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script. [Alexei Kosut]
13916 *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
13917 *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
13918 fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]
13920 *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
13921 legal disclaimer (everyplace).
13923 *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
13924 of everywhere else.
13926 Changes with Apache 0.8.4
13928 *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
13929 StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
13930 parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
13931 MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
13932 back-compatibility). The old names were generally regarded as
13933 too confusing. Also altered "docs" in sample config files.
13935 *) More improvements to default config files ---
13936 sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
13937 CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
13938 defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
13939 improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]
13941 *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
13942 Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
13943 [ Florent Guillaume ]
13945 *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
13948 *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
13949 do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
13952 *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]
13954 Changes with Apache 0.8.3
13956 *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
13957 procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
13960 *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
13961 recent NCSA distributions.
13963 *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
13964 exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault. [Reported
13967 *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]
13969 *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.
13971 *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
13972 preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
13973 reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]
13975 *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
13976 dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]
13978 *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
13979 instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
13980 deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address). Would be
13981 nice to have examples of new features...
13983 Changes with Apache 0.8.2 19 Jul 1995
13985 *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]
13987 *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found. [Mark Cox]
13989 *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory. It would
13990 be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
13991 just punt. [reported by Brian Behlendorf]
13993 *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
13994 is gone and we can reopen it. [reported by Randy Terbush]
13996 *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration
13998 *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
14001 *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
14002 module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
14003 an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]
14005 *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]
14007 *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]
14009 *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]
14011 *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
14014 Changes with Apache 0.8.1
14016 *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
14018 *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
14019 [Matthew Gray again]
14021 *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
14022 [Florent Guillaume]
14024 Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2) 16 Jul 1995
14026 *) New config script. See INSTALL for info. [Robert Thau]
14028 *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
14029 processes. MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
14030 for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different. (Actually,
14031 I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).
14033 Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
14034 the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
14035 connection. If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
14036 off. Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
14037 looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
14038 if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one. This
14039 does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
14040 The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
14041 /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
14042 descriptor (they need to seek without interference).
14044 The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
14045 servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
14046 off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
14047 these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
14048 reverting to the overhead of full forking operation. There is a
14049 hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
14050 avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
14051 (This is arguably too high).
14053 In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
14054 impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
14055 scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
14056 overhead than tmpfs). [Robert Thau]
14058 *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
14061 *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
14062 (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
14065 *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
14066 than trying to send no body *and* no headers. [Cliff Skolnick].
14068 *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
14069 mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
14070 handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
14071 but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
14074 *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
14075 it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
14076 up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]
14078 *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
14079 sa_client around; just declare it where used. [Robert Thau]
14081 *) Another acc-related fix. (It doesn't like const char
14082 in some places...). [Mark Cox]
14084 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1 13 Jul 1995
14086 *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
14087 Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.
14089 *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]
14091 *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
14092 over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
14093 believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
14094 a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*. Even *my*
14095 compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
14096 required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.
14098 *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
14099 servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
14100 [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].
14102 *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
14103 finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]
14105 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0 10 Jul 1995
14107 *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft. soft_timeout()s just put
14108 the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
14109 allow whatever handlers are running to clean up. hard_timeout()s
14110 abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
14111 resource pool cleanup will leak. They're still around because I
14112 haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
14113 timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client. The
14114 default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
14115 so I can test the feature. [Robert Thau]
14117 *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there. Note that
14118 the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
14119 gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
14120 the server will hang. (It is known to correctly restart the
14121 logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
14122 the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
14123 script). [Robert Thau]
14125 *) asis files supported (new module). [Robert Thau]
14127 *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested. (I
14128 don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]
14130 *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
14131 came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]
14133 *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]
14135 *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
14136 as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]
14138 *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
14139 the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]
14141 *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
14142 How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]
14144 *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
14145 default default type); the former default default behavior when all
14146 type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump. [Paul Sutton]
14148 *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
14149 directories. (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
14150 memory area every time). Fix is in mod_dir.c. [Paul Sutton]
14152 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]
14154 *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
14155 if the file was not found. [Cliff Skolnick].
14157 *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
14158 code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
14159 handler). [Cliff Skolnick]
14161 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2 06 Jul 1995
14163 *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
14164 games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
14165 children. Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
14166 the whole process group with them. Potential problem --- if any
14167 child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
14168 MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
14169 better than it did before this! [Robert Thau]
14171 *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
14172 work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
14173 properly terminated. [Mark Cox]
14175 *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
14176 should [Paul Sutton].
14178 *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
14179 Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]
14181 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1 04 Jul 1995
14183 *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
14184 registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
14185 tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
14186 terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
14189 *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
14190 which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
14191 registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
14192 child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->. CGI children now get
14193 started with exactly three file descriptors open. Hopefully,
14194 this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
14195 CGI connections. [Robert Thau]
14197 *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
14198 required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
14199 by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
14200 This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
14201 flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
14202 flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.
14204 This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
14205 process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
14206 on the other systems. [Robert Thau]
14208 *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]
14210 *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]
14212 *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]
14214 *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
14215 be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
14218 *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
14219 string) even if none came in with the request. [Robert Thau]
14221 *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).
14223 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5
14225 *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
14226 *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
14227 invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
14228 *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and
14229 configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
14230 "patchy server" releases) [rst]
14232 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4 30 Jun 1995
14234 *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
14235 *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]
14237 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3
14239 *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
14240 synonymous [rst, terbush]
14242 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1 28 Jun 1995
14244 *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
14245 reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
14246 *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
14247 allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
14248 be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
14249 find). Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools. [rst]
14250 *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
14251 *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
14252 *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]
14254 Changes with Shambhala 0.3 19 Jun 1995
14256 *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
14257 *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
14258 *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
14259 *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
14262 Changes with Shambhala 0.2
14264 *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
14265 *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
14266 *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures
14268 *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
14269 functions together [rst]
14270 *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
14272 *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]
14274 Changes with Shambhala 0.1 12 Jun 1995
14276 Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
14277 Robert Thau (rst). Significant portions of the server code, such
14278 as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
14279 were ripped out and rewritten from scratch. Code that was not
14280 completely rewritten was significantly altered.
14282 Major changes with this release include:
14284 *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central
14285 machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
14286 most of the work. Configuration handling is similar --- modules
14287 declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
14288 dispatches to them.
14290 API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
14291 Apache 1.0 and 1.1. (1.0 API features not yet present in this
14292 release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
14293 subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
14296 *) This release included the following modules:
14298 mod_access (access control --- allow and deny directives),
14299 mod_alias (Alias and Redirect commands),
14300 mod_auth (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
14301 mod_auth_dbm (same, with dbm files)
14302 mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
14303 mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
14304 mod_dir (directory indexing)
14305 mod_include (server-side includes)
14306 mod_mime (AddType directives)
14307 mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
14308 mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
14310 It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
14311 for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
14313 All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
14314 or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
14315 Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
14317 *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
14318 modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
14319 serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
14320 and mod_negotiation).
14322 *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
14323 files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
14324 code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
14325 replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
14326 the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
14327 allocated with palloc().
14329 *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
14330 request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
14331 unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
14332 attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
14333 --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
14334 setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
14336 *) Source files renamed and rearranged
14338 *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
14339 fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
14341 *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
14343 This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
14344 Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
14345 codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
14347 Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
14349 *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
14350 were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
14351 worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
14352 Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
14354 Changes with Apache 0.6.4 13 May 1995
14356 *) Patches by Rob Hartill, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert Thau,
14359 Changes with Apache 0.5.1 10 Apr 1995
14361 Changes with Apache 0.4 02 Apr 1995
14363 *) Patches by Brian Behlendorf, Andrew Wilson, Robert Thau,
14366 Changes with Apache 0.3 24 Mar 1995
14368 *) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
14371 Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
14373 *) Based on NCSA httpd 1.3 by Rob McCool and patches by CERT,
14374 Roy Fielding, Robert Thau, Nicolas Pioch, David Robinson,
14375 Brian Behlendorf, Rob Hartill, and Cliff Skolnick.
