1 Changes with Apache 2.0.12-dev
3 *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser.
4 Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much
5 sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would
6 either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the
7 current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
9 *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads.
12 *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases.
15 *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and
18 *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks.
21 *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the
22 fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and
23 it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything.
26 *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches
27 the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation
28 process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames).
31 *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter
32 is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom]
34 Changes with Apache 2.0.11
36 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the
37 added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no
38 uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter.
41 *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom]
43 *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM.
44 If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add
45 --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom]
47 *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so
48 that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself.
51 *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been
52 installed to the system include files.
53 [Gomez Henri <new-httpd@slib.fr>]
55 *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need
56 to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but
57 configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom]
59 *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is
60 vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build
63 *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this
64 on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want
65 to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
67 *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a
68 request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard]
70 *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and
71 SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set
72 directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives
73 tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom]
75 *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_*
76 functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute
77 the length of the headers before we actually create the header
80 *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have
81 become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*.
84 *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going
85 to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to
86 kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be
89 *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not
90 possible to compile some modules outside of the server.
93 *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch
94 forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex
97 *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary
98 hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If
99 we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back
100 up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send
101 the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request,
102 to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already
103 received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than
104 the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This
105 fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data
106 with that request. [Ryan Bloom]
108 *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and
109 thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom]
111 *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This
112 should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to
113 create CGI processes.
114 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
116 *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket
117 call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been
118 reset. [Jeff Trawick]
120 *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h.
121 This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release
124 *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in
125 the ability to use IPC other than shared memory.
126 Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard]
128 *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork,
129 mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom]
131 *) Correct a typo in httpd.conf.
132 [Kunihiro Tanaka <tanaka@apache.or.jp>] PR#7154
134 *) Really fix mod_rewrite map lookups this time. [Tony Finch]
136 *) Get the correct IP address if ServerName isn't set and we can't
137 find a fully-qualified domain name at startup.
138 PR#7170 [Danek Duvall <dduvall@eng.sun.com>]
140 *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom]
142 *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some
143 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now
144 resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS
145 volumes. [William Rowe]
147 *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the
148 behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported
149 as USER_NAME="<unknown>" rather than the old user#000 result.
150 WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe]
152 *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new
153 Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe]
155 *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the
156 environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure
157 options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.
160 *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like
161 "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return
162 a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big
163 byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom]
165 *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the
166 bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these
167 buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will
168 just be ignored. [Greg Stein]
170 *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart
171 signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child
172 process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If
173 we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning
174 up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom]
176 *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful
177 restarts. [Ryan Bloom]
179 *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use
180 the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from
181 performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups
182 and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields
183 are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe]
185 *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by
186 optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending
187 on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port
188 for sample code. [Ben Laurie]
190 *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done
191 by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket.
192 This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and
193 a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed
194 to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this
195 bucket, and output the error text, and then return
196 AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page
197 has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom]
199 *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for
200 those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where
201 error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though
202 that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom]
204 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
205 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
207 *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition
208 and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy
209 code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable.
212 *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these
213 directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled
214 in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because
215 we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order.
218 *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of
219 targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the
220 configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is
221 specifically run. [Ryan Bloom]
223 *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts
224 the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by
225 parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe]
227 *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code
228 expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error.
229 Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we
230 follow the link. [William Rowe]
232 *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to
233 mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms,
234 so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom]
236 *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe,
237 and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom]
239 *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the
240 current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail.
243 *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or
244 pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames]
246 *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know
247 for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0.
248 This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0
249 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
251 *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite,
252 i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of
253 more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch]
255 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing
256 Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin <alexeyt@wam.umd.edu>]
258 *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting
259 and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly.
262 *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter().
263 This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with
264 requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick]
266 *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via
267 hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also,
268 add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and
269 NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but
270 not used during the configuration process. Useful for
271 flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski]
273 *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or
274 no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to
275 specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH.
276 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom]
278 *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie]
280 *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and
281 apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the
282 actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again.
285 *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being
286 traced. [Jeff Trawick]
288 *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data.
291 *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie]
293 *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
295 *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter
296 program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick]
298 *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an
299 object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE
300 was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would
301 create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap()
302 silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but
303 ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick]
305 *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem
306 is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and
307 we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the
308 browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom]
310 *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec
311 because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't
312 always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf
315 *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct
316 order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4,
317 and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build
318 process. [Ryan Bloom]
320 *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process.
321 This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process,
322 thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do
323 not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least
324 it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom]
326 *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line.
329 *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
330 the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
332 *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
333 need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files
334 such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]
336 *) Get the support programs building cleanly again.
337 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
339 *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The
340 current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the
341 server root from the Apache.exe path.
343 *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so
344 loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the
345 makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories.
347 *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6,
348 Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the
349 Listen, NameVirtualHost, and <VirtualHost> directives support IPv6
350 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080").
353 *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in
354 modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but
355 we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories
356 are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom]
358 *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom]
360 *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of
361 which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack
362 for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the
363 necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC
364 was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make
365 the scripts a bit easier.
368 *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout
369 on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick]
371 *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and
372 be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects
373 that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules
374 didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly.
377 *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer
378 available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick]
380 *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
382 *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts
383 after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom]
385 *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a
386 content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to
387 have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we
388 can compute the content-length in the byterange filter.
391 *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows.
394 *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way
395 they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been
396 called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when
397 the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool.
400 Changes with Apache 2.0a9
402 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users
403 to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@
404 and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories.
407 *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with
408 functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily.
409 The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function
410 combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include
411 parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a
412 hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes
413 all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then
414 responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back
415 to mod_include for further processing.
416 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
418 *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has
419 fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed
420 from the parameter list because all required information is available
421 via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick]
423 *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a
424 normal source distribution with external install targets.
427 *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create
428 two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation.
429 the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required
430 for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one
431 variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations,
432 so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based
433 on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment.
434 It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two
438 *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of
439 functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure
440 time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file.
441 Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those
442 functions that are valid on the platform we are building on.
445 *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config
446 [Sander van Zoest <sander@covalent.net>]
448 *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration.
451 *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not
452 specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR).
453 The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM
454 files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases.
457 *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that
458 uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly.
459 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
461 *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when
462 making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the
463 output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore
464 skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
466 *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the
467 format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in
468 the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be
469 used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with
470 the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format
471 of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick]
473 *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the
474 rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this
475 condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
477 *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter.
480 Changes with Apache 2.0a8
482 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with
486 *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info
487 field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file.
490 *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers
491 down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request
492 record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready
496 *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code,
497 but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP)
501 *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler.
504 *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options.
505 [B. W. Fitzpatrick <fitz@red-bean.com>]
507 *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname.
508 Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing
509 hostname resolution/address string parsing and building
510 apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address
511 of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change
512 apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick]
514 *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but
515 I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon.
518 *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we
519 aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom]
521 *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head
522 request. [Ryan Bloom]
524 *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias
525 with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch]
527 *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom]
529 *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests.
530 The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before
531 we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we
532 should send it in the HEAD response.
535 *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based
536 on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay
537 deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the
538 content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache
539 our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute
540 the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and
541 everything will just work.
544 *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available.
545 [Markus Gyger <mgyger@itr.ch>]
547 *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this
548 change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules
550 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
552 *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly.
553 This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times
554 for a simple static request.
557 *) We are sending the content-type correctly now.
558 [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]
560 *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report
561 a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers
562 and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick]
564 *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the
565 hints file to determine which platforms define
566 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
569 *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick]
571 *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko]
573 *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache
574 used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate,
575 but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will
576 as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid
577 value on all platforms.
578 [Branko Èibej <brane@xbc.nu>]
580 *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824.
581 [Shuichi Kitaguchi <ki@hh.iij4u.or.jp>]
583 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
584 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
586 *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes
587 sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the
588 default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs.
591 *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain
592 in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well.
595 *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This
596 has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could
597 doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches
598 the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes
599 a content-length in the response, and this does not.
602 *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate
603 on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make
604 any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes,
605 so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written.
608 *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not.
609 The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report
610 the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies
611 content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing
612 code in mod_log_config.c
615 *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what
616 it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since
617 neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was
618 really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better
619 by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH
620 buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data
621 read, so they make more sense.
624 *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a
625 request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it
626 makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request
627 responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap
628 buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This
629 allows the mmap to outlive the request.
632 *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for
633 sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should
634 have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should
635 ALWAYS be able to return something immediately.
638 *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the
639 server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart
640 instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling]
642 *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on
643 the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe]
645 *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in
646 such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r".
649 *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0:
650 CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol.
653 *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
654 status at the end of the response as follows:
655 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed.
656 '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server.
657 '-' - connection will be closed by the server.
660 *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded
661 Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type
662 from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the the feature
663 macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe]
665 *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for
666 the response when no content length is available and we can't use
667 chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick]
669 *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK,
670 so that content input filters get dechunked data when using
671 the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS.
674 *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows
675 the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently,
676 only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick]
678 *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol
679 data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick]
681 *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of
682 the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this
683 type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef
684 CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick]
686 *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will
687 send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside
688 buckets that include partial buckets.
689 [Ryan Bloom and David Reid]
691 *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula]
693 *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using
694 BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it
695 doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on.
698 *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to
699 the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that
700 actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need
701 for the BUFF to send headers.
704 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of
705 request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest()
706 since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated)
707 response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at
708 all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.)
711 *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter
712 (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter.
715 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
716 of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp@home.net>,
719 *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h
722 *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering.
725 *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at
726 least now we can serve an SHTML page again.
729 *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer
730 to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that
731 want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket,
732 can. They point to the same place.
735 *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld.
736 [Tomas "Ögren" <stric@ing.umu.se>]
738 *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the
739 associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this
740 logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs.
743 *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was
744 no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning
745 APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by
746 making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets.
747 If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we
748 return the buf, otherwise we return NULL.
751 *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series.
754 *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix:
755 rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded
756 so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc.
757 PR #6671 [Tony Finch]
759 *) Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a
760 security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations
761 that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files
762 on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch]
764 *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out
765 of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then
766 the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the
770 *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters
771 should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way
772 to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket,
773 that's life, but at least we can try with this.
776 *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the
777 EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output
778 filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub
779 requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished.
782 *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also
783 makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it
784 used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its
786 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
788 *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets
789 structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the
790 bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type.
793 *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols
794 for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper)
795 and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE.
796 All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear.
799 *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename
800 parsing of <Directory> blocks under Win32 and OS2.
801 [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
803 *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been
804 replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket
805 types and use then use those buckets.
808 *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write)
809 once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process;
810 otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies
811 worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large
812 ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick]
814 *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type.
815 This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off
816 the data pointer in the ap_bucket type.
819 *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data
820 to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive
821 number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and
822 let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line
823 only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data.
825 Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows
826 us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which
830 *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter
831 understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is
832 based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers,
833 and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are
834 in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining
835 bytes. It can return less, but never more.
836 [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick]
838 *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what
839 the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick]
841 *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters
842 ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection
843 go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the
847 *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial
848 send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to
849 get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial
850 writes to the network.
853 *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again
854 [Victor J. Orlikowski <v.j.orlikowski@gte.net>]
856 *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored
857 if there are no headers to send.
860 *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core
861 filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary
862 compiled on Windows NT.
865 Changes with Apache 2.0a7
867 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades
868 across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be
869 sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE
870 thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received.
873 *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes
874 into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the
875 chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current
876 implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the
877 chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that
878 containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The
879 buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket.
882 *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter.
885 *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter.
888 *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS
889 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
891 *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't
892 make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now.
895 *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that
896 do not have sendfile.
897 [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard]
899 *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so
900 that it works again. [Ryan Bloom]
902 *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile().
905 *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support.
908 *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands
909 the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The
910 goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing
911 the data back to the other filters.
914 *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation
917 *) install apxs if it is created
920 *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error
921 conversions. [William Rowe]
923 *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to
924 ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick]
926 *) Multiple build and configuration fixes
929 -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions
931 -fix logfilename misspelling
932 -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and
933 -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile
937 -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for
938 $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing
939 -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib
940 -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's
941 -cache result for "struct rlimit"
942 -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler
943 and use the native version to generate header file
944 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu@gmx.de>]
946 *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross-
948 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu@gmx.de>]
950 *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header
951 lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
952 message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input
954 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
956 *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even
957 if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a
958 requirement for APXS to work correctly.
961 *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the
962 conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the
963 output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the
964 post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an
965 error page before we have a filter to write to the network.
966 [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames]
968 *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An
969 mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with
970 byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of
971 the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket.
974 *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi.
977 *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32.
978 Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support
979 for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB),
980 and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and
981 prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still
982 discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and
983 async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are
984 logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls.
987 *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input
988 filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest
989 difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade
990 should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is
991 different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in,
992 and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call
993 ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input
994 is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this
995 function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade.
996 The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return.
999 *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system
1000 falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform.
1003 *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5,
1004 SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a
1005 bit more flexible. [William Rowe]
1007 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content
1008 translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores
1009 subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for
1010 translating request and response bodies was removed.
1013 *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request
1014 hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in
1015 multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much
1016 simpler. [Ryan Bloom]
1018 *) Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of
1019 mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that
1020 contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences
1021 $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to
1022 access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch]
1024 *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing
1025 don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because
1026 the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames]
1028 *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid.
1029 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1031 *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2)
1032 as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds.
1033 update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment.
1034 Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from
1035 parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the
1036 seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support.
1039 *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32.
1042 *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An
1043 uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config().
1046 *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for
1047 in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly
1048 find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source
1049 with no problems. [David Reid]
1051 *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying
1052 the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong
1053 location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and
1054 also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would
1055 sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick]
1057 *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence
1058 like this in the config file
1060 <IfModule mod_kilroy.c>
1063 <IfModule mod_lovejoy.c>
1068 the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to
1069 sediment in the buffer from reading the prior </IfModule> and an
1070 error message would be generated for the real </IfModule> for the
1071 second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters
1072 could be used for "</" in the close of a container.
1075 *) ap_add_filter prototype changed to remove the ctx pointer. The
1076 pointer still remains in the filter structure, but it can not be
1077 a part of the ap_add_filter prototype. The reason is that when
1078 the core uses AddFilter to add a filter to the stack it doesn't
1079 know how to allocate the ctx pointer, or even how much memory should
1080 be allocated. The filters will have to be responsible for allocating
1081 the ctx memory when they need it.
1084 *) Add an AddFilter directive. This directive takes a list of filters
1085 that should be activated for the requested resource.
1088 *) apr_snprintf(): Get quad format strings working on OS/390 (and perhaps
1089 some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
1091 *) Modify mod_include to be a filter. Currently, it has only been tested
1092 on actual files, but it should work for CGI scripts too.
1095 *) apr_putc(), apr_puts() for Unix: handle buffered files and interrupted
1096 writes. apr_flush() for Unix: handle interrupted writes.
1099 *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of
1100 an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based
1101 virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in
1102 the configuration file and which ignores the local address
1103 of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch]
1105 *) Fix some compile warnings in mod_mmap_static.c
1106 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
1108 *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that
1109 the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an
1110 EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it
1111 encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we
1112 finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one
1113 EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec.
1116 *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix
1117 and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via
1118 apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick]
1120 *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe
1121 bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*.
1124 *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable.
1125 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
1127 *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache
1128 code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs.
1131 *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c
1132 [John K. Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
1134 *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive.
1135 PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@imgsrc.co.jp>]
1137 *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test
1138 explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit()
1139 is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support
1140 the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski]
1142 *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific
1143 platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain)
1144 all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski]
1146 *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary
1149 *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR.
1152 *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite.
1155 *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom]
1157 *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that
1158 they can be more directly used when changing the type of a
1159 bucket in place. [Tony Finch]
1161 *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by
1162 buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change
1163 the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of
1164 buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets.
1165 Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be
1166 mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented.
1169 Changes with Apache 2.0a6
1171 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames]
1173 *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer
1174 to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom]
1176 *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter
1177 added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom]
1179 *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The
1180 docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom]
1182 *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades,
1183 Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that
1184 should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the
1185 core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group]
1187 *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't
1188 built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick]
1190 *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's
1191 no layout definition file. [Ken Coar]
1193 *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar]
1195 *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header
1196 field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the
1197 list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar]
1199 *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file().
1200 [Rob Simonson <simo@us.ibm.com>]
1202 *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke
1203 APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick]
1205 *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the
1206 configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container,
1207 only the last statement in the container would be retained.
1210 Changes with Apache 2.0a5
1212 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child
1213 processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I
1214 have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had
1215 different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses.
1216 This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket.
1219 *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages.
1220 It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we
1221 are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix
1222 Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom]
1224 *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix.
1225 #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat
1228 *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always
1229 return the right information on the local socket address.
1230 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
1232 *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error.
1233 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
1235 *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without
1236 going into single process mode. This allows for much easier
1237 debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom]
1239 *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function.
1242 *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the
1243 scoreboard on graceful restarts.
1246 *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c.
1247 An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process().
1250 *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still
1251 never called, but this is a step in the right direction.
1252 [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
1254 *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is
1255 killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets
1256 SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the
1257 process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and
1258 mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
1260 *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time
1261 in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format.
1262 Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time
1263 uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP
1264 spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes
1265 the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom]
1267 *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error
1268 code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
1270 *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet]
1272 *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in
1273 logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles
1274 not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe]
1276 *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create
1277 apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom]
1279 *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure
1280 to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a
1281 related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using
1282 fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock()
1283 implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock()
1284 was essentially a no-op because all children were using different
1285 locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick]
1287 *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into
1288 a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on
1289 end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar]
1291 *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This
1292 adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional
1293 XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein]
1295 *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes
1298 *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from
1299 the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein]
1301 *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR
1302 configure.in. [Dave Hill <ddhill@zk3.dec.com>]
1304 *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for
1305 machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile.
1306 [Dave Hill <ddhill@zk3.dec.com>]
1308 *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1310 *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the
1311 desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving
1312 ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1314 *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate
1315 with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without
1316 timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to
1317 a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with
1318 Unix non-blocking pipes.
1321 *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to
1322 cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables
1323 Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at
1324 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps
1325 and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system).
1328 *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache
1329 supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as
1330 mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive
1331 to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems
1332 that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today
1333 on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix.
1336 *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the
1337 configuration process automatically:
1338 inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing
1339 APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl
1341 Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid,
1342 based on the threading model
1344 Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's
1345 configuration processing, allowing for more information flow
1350 *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK
1351 with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and
1352 OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick]
1354 *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write
1355 operations work a whole lot better on buffered files.
1358 *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change
1359 compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads).
1362 *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps
1363 reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is
1364 now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated.
1365 ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick]
1367 *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
1368 can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified
1369 domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
1370 the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the
1371 ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe]
1373 *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault
1374 at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to
1375 be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick]
1377 *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding]
1379 *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX
1380 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1382 *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h,
1383 apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h.
1384 [Tyler J. Brooks <tylerjbrooks@home.com>, Jeff Trawick]
1386 *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working
1387 state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on
1390 *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in
1391 maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise
1392 unions. [Ben Laurie]
1394 *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to
1395 repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered
1396 ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick]
1398 *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly
1399 in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker.
1402 *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error:
1403 "</container> without matching <container> section", where
1404 container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever.
1407 *) Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when using
1408 mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root
1409 and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi
1410 as reported in <news:960999105.344321@ernani.logica.co.uk>
1413 *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE)
1416 *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the
1417 final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles
1418 incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick]
1420 *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure
1421 that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and
1422 such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet]
1424 *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting
1425 up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket.
1428 *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches
1429 to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes)
1430 instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick]
1432 *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex.
1433 It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now
1434 displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the
1435 symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick]
1437 *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence.
1438 The previous check required features not used by Apache.
1441 *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were
1442 sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not
1443 initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed
1444 accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call
1445 if the len was negative. Use <sys/un.h> for struct sockaddr_un
1446 instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem
1447 on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick]
1449 *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
1451 *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
1453 *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames]
1455 *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at
1456 initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom
1457 otherwise. [Jeff Trawick]
1459 *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash
1460 doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does.
1461 Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator =="
1464 *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM.
1465 All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is
1466 now wrapped within the WinNT MPM.
1469 *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some
1470 getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls.
1471 CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick]
1473 *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change
1474 to allow just the product name in the server string using
1478 Changes with Apache 2.0a4
1480 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers
1481 won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1483 *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config
1484 tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks
1485 and know that they will be called at an appropriate time.
1488 *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again.
1491 *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules.
1494 *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have
1495 ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file.
1498 *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config
1499 files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick]
1501 *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t-
1502 related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem
1503 is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful
1504 restarts. [Ronald Tschalär]
1506 *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling.
1507 Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there
1508 would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure
1509 procedure. [Jeff Trawick]
1511 *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog
1512 isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via
1513 ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer
1514 to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1516 *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines.
1519 *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or
1520 global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it
1521 to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency.
1524 *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD()
1525 and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals.
1528 *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers.
1529 [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser <KEIJSERJJ@logica.com>]
1531 *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation.
1534 *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record
1535 on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar]
1537 *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the
1541 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not
1542 a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick]
1544 *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that
1545 the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet.
1548 *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int
1549 instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding]
1551 *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a
1552 structure rather than the pid within the structure.
1553 [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]
1555 *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in
1556 err_response; support reading headers up to 2K.
1557 [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask@valueclick.com>]
1559 *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior
1560 alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
1561 config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite.
1562 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1564 *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
1566 *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use
1567 APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables
1568 in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick]
1570 *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing.
1573 *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically
1574 if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is
1575 read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This
1576 should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the
1577 server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives
1578 that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should
1579 be made in the pre-config step.
1582 *) Add mod_example to the build system.
1585 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single-
1586 byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick]
1588 *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin
1589 Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log).
1592 *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the
1593 IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string
1594 properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the
1595 would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a
1596 properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick]
1598 *) apxs works in 2.0.
1601 *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0.
1604 *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for
1605 replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache.
1608 *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems
1609 generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a
1610 buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam
1611 is defined). [Ken Coar]
1613 *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure
1614 options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options]
1617 *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of
1618 these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/
1619 WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick]
1621 *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0
1624 *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR.
1627 *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are
1631 *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken.
1632 Patch submitted to author.
1635 *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require
1636 /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously)
1639 *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD
1640 [Sascha Schumann] PR#26
1642 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in
1643 struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only
1644 affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during
1645 pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at
1646 least). [Jeff Trawick]
1648 *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix
1650 [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39
1652 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems
1653 like OS/390 and UnixWare.
1656 *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms.
1659 *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror()
1660 (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in
1661 the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit
1662 out the correct error message for it.
1665 Changes with Apache 2.0a3
1667 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails
1670 *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix
1673 *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock.
1674 [Tim Costello <timcostello@ozemail.com.au>]
1676 *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes.
1677 [Chia-liang Kao <clkao@CirX.ORG>]
1679 *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using
1683 *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built
1686 *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow
1687 developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also
1688 changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name.
1691 *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames
1692 containing version numbers. [Martin Pool]
1694 *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on
1695 Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non-
1696 Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick]
1698 *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h.
1699 Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE.
1700 [William Rowe, Roy Fielding]
1702 *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows
1703 build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it
1704 actually works. [Bill Stoddard]
1706 *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and
1707 Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file
1708 os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent
1709 dll relocation at start-up).
1710 [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard]
1712 *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most
1713 of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros.
1714 [Greg Ames <gregames@us.ibm.com>]
1716 *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different
1717 character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv().
1720 *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.
1721 [Joshua Slive <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
1723 *) CGI output is being timed out now.
1726 *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which
1727 is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file
1728 with the same lifetime as the original file.
1731 *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying
1732 module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults
1733 in the field. [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1735 *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document
1736 describing how to compile Apache on Windows.
1737 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1739 *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take
1740 microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other
1741 minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
1743 *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0
1744 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1746 *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0
1747 quick change summary:
1748 - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR
1749 - now uses ap_time_t
1750 - compiles and runs on linux
1752 [Brian Martin <bmartin@penguincomputing.com>]
1754 *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names
1755 fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an
1756 unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the
1757 CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started
1759 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1761 *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may
1762 not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This
1763 is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls
1764 to non portable functions should be protected with
1765 ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults.
1766 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1768 *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer]
1770 *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick]
1772 *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
1773 This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
1774 CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
1776 *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly
1777 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1779 *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to
1780 always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the
1781 OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx
1784 The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to
1785 handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for
1786 Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then
1787 we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.
1788 [Tim Costello <Tim.Costello@BTFinancialgroup.com>]
1790 *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT
1791 [Allan Edwards <ake@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1793 *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support
1794 Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and
1795 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.
1796 [Brian Martin <bmartin@penguincomputing.com>]
1798 *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform
1800 [Tim.Costello@BTFinancialgroup.com]
1802 *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions.
1805 *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site.
1806 [Joshua Slive <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
1808 *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
1811 *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
1812 Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
1813 at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
1814 of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
1815 [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]
1817 *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.
1818 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net>]
1820 *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the
1821 corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the
1822 proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
1824 Changes with Apache 2.0a2
1826 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
1830 *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
1831 small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
1832 users and groups. [David Reid]
1834 *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
1835 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1837 *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
1838 is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
1840 *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
1841 When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
1842 no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
1843 [Allan Edwards <ake@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1845 *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
1846 if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
1848 *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
1849 locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
1852 *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
1853 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1855 *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
1856 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
1858 *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
1859 interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
1861 *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
1862 up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
1866 *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
1867 now logged correctly on BeOS.
1870 *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
1871 Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
1873 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>, Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
1875 *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
1876 shell path resolution.
1877 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>] PR#3715
1879 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
1881 [Allen Prescott <allen@clanprescott.com>]
1883 *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
1884 flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
1886 [Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
1888 *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
1889 which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
1890 confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
1891 rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
1892 explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
1893 ones to the example config [dirkx]
1895 *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
1896 configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
1899 *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
1900 including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
1902 *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
1903 config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
1904 it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
1905 expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
1906 by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
1907 to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
1908 can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
1909 usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
1910 hampers fancier hacks.
1911 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
1913 *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
1914 supports the asymetric
1916 ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
1918 Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
1919 has either the following syntaxes
1921 ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
1922 ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
1923 ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
1925 The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
1926 is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
1927 or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
1928 is assumed to be a message.
1930 This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
1931 of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
1932 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
1934 *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
1935 syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
1936 only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
1937 absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
1938 breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
1940 *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
1941 done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
1942 as static modules at this point.
1945 Changes with Apache 2.0a1
1947 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
1948 Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
1949 create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
1950 to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
1951 ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
1952 rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...
1953 [Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
1955 *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
1956 [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
1958 *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
1962 *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
1963 Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
1964 Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
1965 passed in and number of bytes written.
1968 *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
1969 with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
1970 the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
1973 *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
1974 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
1976 *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
1977 bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
1978 some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
1979 errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
1980 chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
1983 *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
1984 [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
1986 *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1988 *) More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security problems
1989 with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
1990 or mod_vhost_alias).
1991 [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
1993 *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
1994 [Manoj Kasichainula]
1996 *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
1997 message without any of the date and time information. As a part
1998 of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
1999 and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
2000 writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
2001 stderr to the error log on all platforms.
2004 *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
2005 This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
2006 don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
2007 message on all of our platforms.
2010 *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
2011 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
2013 *) sendfile has been added to APR.
2014 [John Zedlewski <zedlwski@Princeton.EDU>]
2016 *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
2017 [Manoj Kasichainula]
2019 *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
2020 interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
2022 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0
2023 [Dilip Khandekar <dilip@cup.hp.com>]
2025 *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11
2026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2028 *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
2029 automatically for developers from src/Configure.
2030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2032 *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
2033 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2035 *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
2036 to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
2039 *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
2041 *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
2042 incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
2044 *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check
2045 for a wildcard handler. [Dirk <dirkm@teleport.com>, Roy Fielding]
2046 PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807
2048 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
2049 allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
2050 ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
2051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2053 *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
2055 Changes with Apache MPM
2057 *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
2058 dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
2061 *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
2064 *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility
2065 (per default used the config.option file).
2066 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2068 *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid <abb37@dial.pipex.com>]
2070 *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
2071 Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
2072 implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
2073 be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
2074 calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
2077 *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
2078 subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
2079 of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
2081 *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
2082 mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
2084 *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
2085 amongst the unix MPMs.
2087 *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
2088 signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
2090 *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
2091 of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
2093 *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
2095 *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
2096 based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
2098 *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
2099 ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase@midcoast.com.au>]
2101 *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
2103 *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
2104 changes to the module API... better described by
2105 docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
2107 Changes with Apache pthreads
2109 *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
2110 buff operations (generally over a network).
2111 [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
2113 *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
2114 init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
2115 stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
2117 *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.
2118 [James Morris <jmorris@intercode.com.au>]
2120 *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
2121 request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
2123 *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
2124 needed in a threaded server.
2126 *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
2127 [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
2130 Changes with Apache 1.3.9
2132 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
2133 Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
2134 was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
2136 *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
2137 explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
2140 *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
2141 than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
2144 *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
2145 Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
2146 Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
2147 and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
2149 *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
2150 just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
2152 *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
2153 in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
2154 correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
2155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2157 *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
2158 an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
2159 is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
2161 *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
2162 problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
2163 output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
2165 *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
2166 routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
2167 pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
2168 like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
2169 The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
2170 now but deprecated. [dirkx]
2172 *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
2173 represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
2174 files. [Roy Fielding]
2176 *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
2177 checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
2179 *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
2181 *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
2182 assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
2183 exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
2185 *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
2186 src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
2188 *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
2189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2191 *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
2192 searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
2193 some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
2195 *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
2196 module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
2197 usual conventions for the installation procedure).
2198 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2200 *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
2201 for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
2203 *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
2204 types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
2205 by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
2207 Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
2209 *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
2210 response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
2211 long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
2212 [Tom Vaughan <tvaughan@aventail.com>, Roy Fielding]
2214 *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
2215 [Ian Turner <iant@sequent.com>] PR#4735
2217 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
2218 name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
2220 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
2221 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald@innovation.ch>]
2223 *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
2224 up across restarts. [David Harris <dharris@drh.net>]
2226 *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
2227 properly in mod_access.
2228 ["Paul J. Reder" <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#4770
2230 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
2231 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>] PR#3874
2233 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
2234 [Michael Ottati <michael.ottati@compaq.com>, dirkx]
2236 *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
2237 Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
2238 Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
2239 ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
2240 couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
2241 function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
2242 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>]
2244 *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
2245 with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
2246 [David McCreedy <McCreedy@us.ibm.com>]
2248 *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
2249 Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
2250 we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
2252 *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
2253 a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
2254 NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
2256 Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
2258 *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
2259 the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
2260 are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
2261 "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
2262 single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
2263 one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
2264 at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
2266 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid abb37@dial.pipex.com]
2268 *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
2269 least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
2272 *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
2273 immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
2274 This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
2275 call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
2276 the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
2277 are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
2279 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
2281 *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
2282 and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
2283 discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
2284 [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton <jeo101@york.ac.uk>] PR#4499, PR#3806
2286 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
2287 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
2289 *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
2290 built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
2291 install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
2292 editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
2293 create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
2294 used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
2296 *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
2297 ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
2298 WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
2299 Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
2300 Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
2301 [Bill Stoddard stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com]
2303 *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
2304 error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
2305 behave more like Unix.
2306 [Bill Stoddard stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com]
2308 *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
2309 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
2311 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
2312 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
2314 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
2315 "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
2316 [Brian Havard] PR#4505
2318 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
2319 [Randy Terbush <randy@covalent.net>]
2321 *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
2322 used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>]
2324 *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
2325 command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2327 *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX
2328 [Rasmus Lerdorf <rasmus@raleigh.ibm.com>]
2330 *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
2331 first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
2332 see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
2333 message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
2334 does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
2335 the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
2336 the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
2337 line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
2338 DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
2341 *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
2342 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
2343 [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
2345 *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
2346 Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
2347 listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
2348 could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
2349 All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
2350 the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
2351 MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
2352 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
2354 *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
2355 the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
2356 parent/child process management code.

2375 *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
2376 content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
2378 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
2379 never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
2380 attacks. [Koen Holtman <Koen.Holtman@cern.ch>]
2382 *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
2383 results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
2385 *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
2386 the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
2387 *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
2388 provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
2389 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
2391 *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
2392 size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
2393 (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
2394 to the man page. [Ken Coar]

2410 of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]

2495 install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install
2496 apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter.
2498 Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files

2622 a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file
2623 b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong
2624 when the returned file was not converted from EBCDIC, but was a
2625 binary (e.g., image file) in the first place.
2626 [David McCreedy <mccreedy@us.ibm.com>]

2667 *) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving
2668 a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
2670 *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
2671 a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
2672 ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
2673 This allows for special configurations like
2674 <Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
2675 DefaultType gargle/blurb
2677 Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
2678 when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
2679 Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
2680 files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
2681 The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
2682 much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
2685 *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
2686 for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
2687 the permissions on the proxycachedir.
2688 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
2690 *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first

2725 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
2726 to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
2728 *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
2729 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced

2731 work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
2732 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald@innovation.ch>] PR#3411
2734 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
2735 the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system

2761 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
2762 for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
2764 *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
2765 because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
2766 Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
2767 third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban@epfl.ch>] PR#3977
2769 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the

2800 to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
2802 *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
2803 the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2805 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
2806 (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
2807 correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
2808 Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
2809 analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
2811 *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
2812 DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
2813 Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
2814 Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
2815 instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
2816 the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
2817 The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
2819 [Michael van Elst <mlelstv@serpens.swb.de>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160

2827 *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate
2828 when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard]
2830 *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the
2831 UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of
2832 %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at>]
2834 *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce
2835 more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at>]

2867 *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real
2868 reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal
2869 server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism
2870 can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to"
2871 note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed.

2878 strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez]
2880 *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles
2881 the test case of no modules being selected. [chaz@reliant.com]
2883 *) Added a <LimitExcept method ...> sectioning directive that allows
2884 the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that
2885 is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation
2886 of the <Limit> directive. This is particularly useful for controlling
2887 access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by
2888 some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch]
2890 *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but
2891 does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is
2892 being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
2894 *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen]
2896 *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being
2897 performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also,
2898 strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases.
2899 [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657
2901 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors.
2904 *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans"
2905 even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding]
2907 *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item()
2908 to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next
2909 list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments,
2910 quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes
2911 insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
2912 [Roy Fielding] PR#2065
2914 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
2915 code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
2916 "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455
2918 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
2919 negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
2920 and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy@debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688
2922 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
2923 unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
2924 to get the right result. [Roy Fielding]
2926 *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
2927 negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
2928 (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
2929 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
2930 some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]
2932 *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
2933 file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
2934 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]
2936 *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
2937 searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
2940 *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
2941 error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
2944 *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
2945 displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
2946 Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
2947 going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]
2949 *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
2950 and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
2951 being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password
2952 checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar]
2954 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses
2955 access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
2956 as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.
2958 *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will
2959 make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment.
2962 *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
2963 ap_compat.h. [David White <david@persimmon.com>] PR#3725
2965 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.
2966 use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when
2967 the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based.
2968 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773
2970 *) Add ability to handle DES or MD5 authentication passwords.
2971 [Ryan Bloom <rbb@Raleigh.IBM.Com>]
2973 *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling. [Dean Gaudet]
2975 *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping
2976 quoted strings. (This overflow was on the heap and we believe
2977 impossible to exploit.) [Rick Perry <perry@ece.vill.edu>]
2979 *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus
2980 signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.
2981 [Doug Yatcilla <yatcilda@umdnj.edu>] PR#3681
2983 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
2984 and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
2985 [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671
2987 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
2988 implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
2989 hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
2990 to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
2991 sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
2992 because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
2993 prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
2996 *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
2997 well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
2998 printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]
3000 *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
3001 and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
3004 Changes with Apache 1.3.4
3006 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
3007 and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
3008 mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]
3010 *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
3011 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
3014 *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
3015 filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its
3016 presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
3017 for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar]
3019 *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
3020 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
3021 [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
3023 *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
3024 and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
3025 Run each of the following from the src directory:
3026 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build
3027 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs
3028 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk
3029 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build
3030 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
3031 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
3034 *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
3035 to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]
3037 *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
3038 the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
3039 order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
3040 URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
3041 it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar]
3043 *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
3044 for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699
3046 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
3047 [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz@cso.net>] PR#2575
3049 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
3050 search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
3051 for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>] PR#2462
3053 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
3054 compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into
3055 Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim@mindspring.com>] PR#3572
3057 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
3058 backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
3059 context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
3060 because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
3061 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
3063 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
3064 making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
3065 depend on other libraries).
3066 [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger@gmx.de>]
3068 *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
3069 recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
3070 in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
3071 module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527
3073 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
3074 allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
3075 an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
3076 Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
3078 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
3079 supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
3080 match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
3081 `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
3082 `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
3083 to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
3084 combination with map lookups).
3085 [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3087 *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
3088 forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
3089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3091 *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
3092 user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
3093 `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
3094 (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3096 *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
3097 module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
3098 has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]
3100 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
3101 - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
3102 - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
3103 the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
3104 - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
3105 encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
3106 included within Accept-Encoding.
3107 - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
3108 of large substring sequences.
3109 - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
3112 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
3113 - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
3114 - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
3115 support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
3116 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
3117 - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
3119 - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
3120 processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
3121 values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
3122 - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
3123 - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
3124 rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
3125 e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version.
3126 - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
3127 (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
3128 will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
3130 - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
3131 - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
3132 - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm
3133 to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
3134 - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
3135 negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
3136 - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
3137 file as its best variant
3138 [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3451, 3299, 1987
3140 *) RFC2396 allows the syntax http://host:/path (with no port number)

3142 [David Kristol <dmk@bell-labs.com>] PR#3530
3144 *) When modules update/modify the file name in the configfile_t structure,
3145 syntax errors will report the updated name, not the original one.

3148 *) Correct some filename case assumptions from WIN32 to
3149 CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au>]
3151 *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName
3152 setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet]
3154 *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
3155 rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
3156 This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
3157 the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]
3159 *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
3160 #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
3161 standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
3162 Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]
3164 *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg@lentil.org>]
3167 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
3168 and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda@discerning.com>] PR#3553
3170 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
3171 the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
3172 command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
3173 instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
3174 So we now changed the command line options this way:
3176 Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
3177 very similar to the popular linker option.
3179 Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
3180 large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also
3181 consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
3183 Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
3184 The manual page was adjusted accordingly.
3185 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2714
3187 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
3188 wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk <rickf@transpect.net>]
3190 *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
3191 o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
3192 initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
3193 \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
3194 containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
3195 "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
3196 argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
3197 o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
3198 redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
3199 loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
3200 `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
3201 case --with-layout is not used.
3202 o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
3203 Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
3204 config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
3205 four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is
3206 no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
3207 the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
3208 o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
3209 o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
3210 o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
3211 o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns
3212 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3214 *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and
3215 ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module
3216 after loading. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3218 *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
3219 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT to NetBSD/OpenBSD section
3220 of ap_config.h to allow serialized accept for multiport listens.
3221 [Roy Fielding, Curt Sampson] PR#3120
3223 *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section
3224 of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP
3225 was overridden. [Roy Fielding]
3227 *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and
3228 strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247
3230 *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is
3231 defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]
3233 *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
3234 [Tom Serkowski <tks@bsdi.com>] PR#3453
3236 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
3237 differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
3238 another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
3239 just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
3240 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
3242 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
3243 since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
3244 when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
3245 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
3247 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
3248 creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
3249 shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
3250 Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
3251 from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
3252 provided through the TOP variable, too.
3253 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>]
3255 *) Fix negotiation so that a Vary response header is correctly
3256 generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary
3257 in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton]
3259 *) Fix negotiation so that we prefer an encoded variant over an
3260 unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can
3261 accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded
3263 [Paul Ausbeck <paula@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>, Paul Sutton] PR#3447
3265 *) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized
3266 and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.
3267 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3269 *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
3270 They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
3271 IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3273 *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
3274 procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
3275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3277 *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
3278 identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
3279 config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
3280 argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
3282 The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
3283 where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
3284 specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
3286 *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
3287 extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
3288 default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
3289 <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
3292 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
3293 APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
3294 file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
3295 the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
3296 with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.
3297 [Ralf Engelschall, Randy Terbush]
3299 *) mod_include.c:handle_perl() now properly tests for OPT_INCNOEXEC
3300 rather than OPT_INCLUDES [Rainer Schoepf <schoepf@uni-mainz.de>]

3322 *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that
3323 a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all
3324 bits set (255.255.255.255). This is the second such problem caused
3325 by gcc 2.8.1 compiler. The first being broken semaphore locking.

3376 since it often includes file path info. Enable sending of error-notes
3377 on a 501 (Method Not Implemented). [Roy Fielding] PR#3173
3379 *) http_config.c would respond with 501 (Method Not Implemented) if a
3380 content type handler was specified but could not be found, which
3381 should have been a 500 response. Likewise, mod_proxy.c would responsd
3382 with a 501 if the URI scheme is unrecognized instead of the correct
3383 response of 403 (Forbidden). [Roy Fielding]

3403 on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar)
3404 in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are
3405 supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module
3406 mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to
3407 the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END
3408 which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves'
3409 the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority).

3480 Changes with Apache 1.3.3
3482 *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
3483 specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue
3484 response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
3485 useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]
3487 *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
3488 of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
3489 between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
3490 of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]
3492 *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
3493 revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and
3494 HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the
3495 WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any
3496 of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules.

3605 and to avoid problems under platforms where only version 2.x is present.

3612 You now must define a BS2000Account name for the server User.
3613 This has fewer security implications than the old approach.
3616 *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX platform: We now use extension `.sl'
3617 instead of `.so' and `SHLIB_PATH' instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on this
3618 platform to make the braindead HPUX linker happy. Notice, for the module
3619 DSOs we don't have to use this, because these are loaded manually (and
3620 not via HPUX' dld). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2905, PR#2968

3631 *) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version
3632 strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard]
3634 *) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C
3635 pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to
3636 determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
3637 we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
3638 portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
3639 configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
3640 approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
3641 the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
3642 As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
3643 existance of the file under /usr/include, too.
3644 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2777

3674 *) Remove `-msym' option from LDFLAGS_SHLIB for the Digital UNIX (OSF/1)
3675 platform, because it's only supported under version 4.0 and higher. But
3676 because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the
3677 -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and
3678 best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969
3680 *) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf()
3681 functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
3682 "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
3683 (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
3684 real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941
3686 *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
3687 files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727
3689 *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
3690 port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
3691 directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
3692 CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]
3694 *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
3695 on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
3696 any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
3697 case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of
3698 content is if you are using a modification date based setting.
3699 [Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips <paulp@go2net.com>]
3701 *) Problems encountered during .htaccess parsing or CGI execution
3702 that lead to a "500 Server Error" condition now provide explanatory
3703 text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts.
3706 *) Add NameWidth keyword to IndexOptions directive so that the
3707 width of the filename column is customisable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
3710 *) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under
3711 SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho <drc@ppt.com>]
3713 *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
3714 a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
3715 proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
3716 the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914
3718 *) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
3719 allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
3720 character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
3721 error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
3722 (enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
3723 stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
3726 *) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
3727 cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
3728 into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
3729 them out. [Ken Coar]
3731 *) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
3733 + Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
3734 different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
3735 in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
3736 starting directory might send us to /home/).
3737 + When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
3738 URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
3739 browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
3740 slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
3741 and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
3745 *) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
3746 dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
3747 "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
3748 core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.

3751 *) new `GprofDir' directive when compiled with -DGPROF, where gprof can
3752 plop gmon.out profile data for each child [Doug MacEachern]

3756 [Yves Arrouye <yves@apple.com>] PR#2866
3758 *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration
3759 adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper
3760 script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to
3761 be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the
3762 recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems.

3783 *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of
3784 5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8
3785 variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every
3786 release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never
3787 needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)
3788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3790 *) Make the proxy generate and understand Via: headers
3793 *) Change the proxy to use tables instead of array_headers for
3794 the header lines. [Martin Kraemer]
3796 *) Make sure the config.status file is not overridden when just
3797 ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844
3799 *) Split MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER into _MAJOR/_MINOR numbers. This should
3800 provide a way to trace API changes that add functionality but do
3801 not create a compatibility issue for precompiled modules, etc.
3802 See include/ap_mmn.h for more details. [Randy Terbush]
3804 *) Fix suexec installation under `make install root=xxx' situation.
3805 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3807 *) Extend the output of the -V switch to include the paths of all

3809 compile time, for least astonishment of the user.
3812 *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old"
3813 vhost, request and client information is not displayed.
3816 *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now
3817 run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive.
3820 *) SECURITY: Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2)
3821 cpu time attacks) in header parsing. Add ap_overlap_tables(),
3822 a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations
3823 on tables in a more efficient manner. [Dean Gaudet]
3825 *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for
3826 various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
3827 denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line
3828 size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields),
3829 and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize). Also added
3830 a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the
3831 request message body. [Roy Fielding]

3849 *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their
3850 state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski]
3852 *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this
3853 was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3. Add a new

3881 This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
3882 linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is
3883 disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
3884 rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
3885 want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.

4173 as <IfModule>..</IfModule> sections) which can be used to skip or process
4174 contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command
4175 line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like <IfDefine

4192 output of Awk. [Bill Houle <bhoule@sandiegoca.ncr.com>] PR#2435
4194 *) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing
4195 integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting
4196 them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather
4197 than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and
4198 make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first
4199 regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good
4200 in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large
4201 directories. [Ken Coar]
4203 *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation
4204 of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used
4205 configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by
4206 just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between

4210 *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
4211 If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
4212 non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
4213 configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
4214 on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
4215 because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
4216 This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
4217 to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run
4218 via `apachectl configtest'.

4350 [W G Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>]
4352 *) Propagate environment to CGI scripts correctly in Win32.
4353 [W G Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#2294
4355 *) Some symbol renaming:
4356 ap_spawn_child_err became ap_spawn_child
4357 ap_spawn_child_err_buff became ap_bspawn_child
4358 spawn_child was obsoleted and moved to compat.h
4361 *) Upgrade the child spawning code in mod_rewrite for the RewriteMap
4362 programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses
4363 CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in
4364 the past under Win32).
4365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4367 *) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the
4368 generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4370 *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
4371 was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
4372 proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
4373 purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
4374 was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
4375 its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
4376 cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
4377 The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()
4378 was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made
4380 [Martin Kraemer] PR#494, 1259
4382 *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed.
4385 *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC"
4386 from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building
4387 ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed
4388 only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the
4389 user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can.
4390 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2288
4392 *) Renamed three more functions to common ap_ prefix which we missed at the
4393 Big Symbol Renaming because they're #defines and not real C functions:
4394 is_default_port(), default_port(), http_method().
4395 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4397 *) A zero-length name after a $ in an SSI document should cause
4398 just the $ to be in the expansion. This was broken during the
4399 security fixes in 1.2.5. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1921, 2249
4401 *) Call ap_destroy_sub_req() in ap_add_cgi_vars() to reclaim some
4402 memory. [Rob Saccoccio <robs@InfiniteTechnology.com>] PR#2252
4404 *) Fix src/support/httpd.exp (DSO export file which is currently only
4405 used under AIX) because of recent changes to function names.
4406 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4408 Changes with Apache 1.3b7
4410 *) Make sure a MIME-type can be forced via a RewriteRule even when no
4411 substitution takes place, for instance via the following rule:
4412 ``RewriteRule ^myscript$ - [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]'' This was often
4413 requested by users in the past to force a single script without a .cgi
4414 extension and outside any cgi-bin dirs to be executed as a CGI program.
4415 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2254
4417 *) A fix for protocol issues surrounding 400, 408, and
4418 414 responses. [Ed Korthof]
4420 *) Ignore MaxRequestsPerChild on WIN32. [Brian Behlendorf]
4422 *) Fix discrepancy in proxy_ftp.c which was causing failures when
4423 trying to connect to certain ftpd's, such as anonftpd.
4424 [Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>]
4426 *) Make mod_rewrite use ap_open_piped_log() for RewriteLog directive's
4427 logfile instead of fiddling around itself with child spawning stuff.
4428 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4430 *) Made RefererIgnore case-insensitive.
4432 *) Mod_log_agent, mod_log_referer now use ap_open_piped_log for piped logs.
4435 *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything
4436 "safe" under Win32. In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c
4439 *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck <beck@bofh.ucs.ualberta.ca>]
4441 *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort
4442 of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars.
4443 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2242
4445 *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed.
4446 [Ben Laurie] PR#2238
4448 *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C
4449 library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles
4450 instead of C file descriptors.
4451 [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#1129, 1607
4453 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached
4454 file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching
4455 of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
4456 [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094
4458 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
4459 is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
4460 somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
4461 provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
4462 variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
4463 reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
4464 building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
4465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4467 *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
4468 provides for more control over the format of the Server:
4469 header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported;
4470 all module should use the ap_add_version_component()
4471 API function instead. [Jim Jagielski]
4473 *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0
4474 [John Withers <withers@semi.kcsc.mwr.irs.gov>]
4476 *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
4477 not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
4478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4480 *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
4481 - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
4482 - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
4483 Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
4484 - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
4485 any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
4487 - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
4488 - updated the dependencies theirself
4489 - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
4490 - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
4491 already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
4492 directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
4493 contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
4494 - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
4495 - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
4497 - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
4498 of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
4499 - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
4500 existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
4501 - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
4502 with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
4503 is no longer needed.
4504 - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
4505 first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner
4506 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4508 *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
4511 *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
4514 *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
4515 [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson@Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060
4517 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
4518 and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
4519 device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
4520 we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
4521 [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
4523 *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
4524 due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
4525 SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
4526 descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
4528 *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
4529 like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
4530 if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
4531 and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
4532 in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
4533 necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
4534 or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
4535 necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
4538 *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
4539 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
4540 htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
4542 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
4543 (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
4544 If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
4545 and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
4546 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
4547 configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
4548 had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
4549 UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
4550 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4552 *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
4553 - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
4554 shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
4555 - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
4556 - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
4557 only when no shadow trees already exists
4558 - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
4559 when no more shadow trees exists
4560 - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
4561 as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
4562 - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
4563 Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
4564 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4566 *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
4567 AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
4568 declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
4569 augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
4570 with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
4571 AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
4572 into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056
4574 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
4577 *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
4578 [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
4580 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
4581 to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
4584 *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
4585 are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
4586 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
4587 and not the original statically list from modules.c
4588 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
4589 later use by the AddModule command.
4590 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
4591 target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
4592 this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
4593 confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
4594 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
4595 target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
4596 via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
4597 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
4598 is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
4599 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
4600 comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
4601 of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
4602 the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
4603 This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
4604 statically and dynamically linked modules.
4605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4607 *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the
4608 Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4610 *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command
4613 *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other
4614 places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551
4616 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
4617 zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>]
4620 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature
4621 feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing
4622 r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some
4623 functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead,
4624 because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.
4627 *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline. Worth
4628 1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet]
4630 *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c
4631 when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski,
4634 *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize
4635 the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts
4636 would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer]
4638 *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole
4639 absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done
4640 in unix. [Martin Kraemer]
4642 *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in
4643 the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there)
4644 and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting.
4645 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch]
4647 *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with
4648 a URI, not a filename, so the check for drive letters for win32
4649 and emx is not necessary. [Dean Gaudet]
4651 *) WIN32: Allow .cmd as an executable extension.
4652 [Kari Likovuori <Kari.Likovuori@mol.fi>] PR#2146
4654 *) Make Apache header files, and some variables, C++ friendly.
4655 [Michael Anderson's <mka@redes.int.com.mx>]
4657 *) Child processes can now "signal" (by exiting with a status
4658 of APEXIT_CHILDFATAL) the parent process to abort and
4659 shutdown the server if the error in the child process was
4660 fatal enough. [Jim Jagielski]
4662 *) mod_autoindex's find_itme() was sensitive to MIME type case.
4663 [Jim Jagielski] PR#2112
4665 *) Make sure the referer_log and agent_log entries in the default httpd.conf
4666 file are also adjusted for the actual relative installation paths.
4667 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2175
4669 *) WIN32: Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. [Ben Laurie]
4671 *) WIN32: Make roots of filesystems (e.g. c:/) work. [Ben Laurie]
4674 *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3.
4675 Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
4676 from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
4677 mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
4678 vendor functions itself.
4679 [Jens-Uwe Mager, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4681 *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
4682 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165
4684 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
4685 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158
4687 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
4688 AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
4689 accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
4690 which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
4691 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4693 *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
4694 that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
4695 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4697 *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
4700 *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
4701 is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
4702 whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer]
4704 *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
4705 of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
4706 maintainers from RedHat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
4707 little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
4708 provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
4709 --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
4710 --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
4711 side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
4712 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4714 *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
4715 by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package
4716 maintainers (especially Debian and RedHat) who build for the real prefix
4717 via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
4718 "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
4719 the target location on their system.
4720 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4722 *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now
4723 substituting in chunks of 50 commands (because for instance HPUX's vendor
4724 sed has a limit of max. 98 commands)
4725 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2136
4727 *) Adding SOCKS5 support and fixing existing SOCKS4 support.
4728 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2140
4730 *) Manually fix some symbols which were not renamed to prefix ap_ in the BIG
4731 RENAMING process because they are defined as pre-processor macros instead
4732 of real functions: bputc, bgetc, piped_log_write_fd, piped_log_read_fd
4733 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4735 *) Workaround braindead AWK's when generating ap_config.h: The split() and
4736 substr() functions cannot be nested under vendor AWK from Solaris 2.6.
4737 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2139
4739 *) Various bugfixes and cleanups for the APACI configure script:
4740 o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation
4741 o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one
4742 o fix DSO consistency check
4743 o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout
4744 o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub
4745 o reduce complexity by avoiding sed-hacks for rule and module list loops
4746 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4748 *) Fix DEBUG_CGI situation in mod_cgi.c [David MacKenzie] PR#2114
4750 *) Make sure the input field separator (IFS) shell variable is explicitly
4751 initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after
4752 the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4754 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
4755 `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
4756 customize these for own MIME and content types.
4757 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4759 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for OpenBSD 2.x
4760 [Peter Galbavy, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2109
4762 *) Fix the path to the ScoreBoardFile in the install-config target, too.
4763 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105
4765 *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell
4766 variables) to avoid side-effects in "src/Configure" when the user
4767 exported them (which is not needed, but some users do it).
4768 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2101
4770 *) Provide backward compatibility from some old src/Configuration.tmpl
4771 parameter names to the canonical Autoconf-style shell variable names. For
4772 instance CFLAGS vs. EXTRA_CFLAGS. The EXTRA_xxx variants are accepted now
4773 but a hint message is displayed. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4775 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the DocumentRoot and
4776 CGI scripts from an existing Apache installation.
4777 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Jim Jagielski] PR#2084
4779 *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first
4780 let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and
4781 second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not
4782 appended to sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir when
4783 --compat is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Eilebrecht]
4785 *) NeXT required strdup() in support/logresolve.c

4789 [Jens Schleusener <Jens.Schleusener@dlr.de>] PR#2081
4791 *) Fix the path to the MimeMagicFile in the install-config target, too.
4792 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089
4794 *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson <jaearick@colby.edu>]
4796 *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
4797 out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
4798 to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
4799 (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
4801 *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
4802 ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
4805 *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
4806 --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
4807 --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
4809 *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
4810 to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
4811 to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4813 *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
4814 ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
4815 message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
4816 to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
4818 *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
4819 stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
4820 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4822 *) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too
4823 long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile
4824 [Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4826 *) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory
4827 /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht]
4829 Changes with Apache 1.3b6
4831 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
4833 *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
4834 interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
4835 calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4837 *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
4838 APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
4839 Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4841 *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
4842 To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
4843 we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
4845 - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
4846 - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
4847 - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
4848 cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
4849 For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
4850 created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
4851 by third-party module authors.
4854 *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
4855 problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
4856 to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
4857 available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
4858 dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
4859 httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
4860 Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
4861 This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
4862 to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
4863 user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
4864 automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
4865 hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
4866 this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
4867 essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
4868 manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
4869 where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
4870 features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
4871 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
4873 *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
4875 *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
4876 inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
4877 conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
4878 "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
4879 process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
4880 source tree as it was for distribution.
4881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4883 *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
4884 the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
4885 initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
4886 variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
4887 prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
4888 This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
4889 user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4891 *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
4892 [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr@mixi.net>] PR#2045
4894 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of
4895 indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also
4896 remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
4897 to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]
4899 *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
4900 since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]
4902 *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
4904 *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
4905 experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
4906 an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
4907 prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules.
4908 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4910 *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
4911 specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
4912 manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
4913 the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
4914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4916 *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
4917 on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
4918 installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
4919 the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
4920 for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
4921 warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
4922 the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4924 *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
4925 and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
4926 Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
4927 a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
4928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4930 *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
4931 installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
4932 dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
4933 this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The
4934 (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
4935 Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
4936 (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
4937 module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
4938 tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
4939 dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
4940 modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
4941 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
4942 on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
4943 first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
4944 APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4946 *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.
4947 [Rainer.Scherg@rexroth.de] PR#1326, #1573, #1942
4949 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
4950 so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
4953 *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
4954 the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
4955 out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
4956 complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
4957 script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is
4958 to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
4959 the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the
4960 package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old
4961 configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
4962 customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4964 *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe.
4965 Had to remove the HAVE_CVT macro in order to do threadsafe
4966 calling of the ?cvt() floating point routines. [Dean Gaudet]
4968 *) PORT: Add the SCO_SV port. [Jim Jagielski] PR#1962
4970 *) PORT: IRIX needs the -n32 flag iff using the 'cc' compiler
4971 [Jim Jagielski] PR#1901
4973 *) BUG: Configure was using TCC and CC inconsistently. Make sure
4974 Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski]
4976 *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
4977 was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]
4979 *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
4980 a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
4981 routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines
4982 psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
4983 required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up
4984 various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
4987 *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because
4988 ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
4989 snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet]
4991 *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This
4992 is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
4993 are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
4994 maintained across exec().
4995 [Rein Tollevik <reint@sys.sol.no>] PR#2009
4997 *) Fix the check for symbolic links in ``RewriteCond ... -l'': stat() was
4998 used instead of lstat() and thus this flag didn't work as expected.

5001 *) Fix the proxy pass-through feature of mod_rewrite for the case of
5002 existing QUERY_STRING now that mod_proxy was recently changed because of
5003 the new URL parsing stuff. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5005 *) A few changes to scoreboard definitions which helps gcc generate
5006 better code. [Dean Gaudet]
5008 *) ANSI C doesn't guarantee that "int foo : 2" in a structure will
5009 be a signed bitfield. So mark a few bitfields as signed to
5010 ensure correct code. [Dean Gaudet]
5012 *) The default for HostnameLookups was changed to Off, but there
5013 was a problem and it wasn't taking effect. [Dean Gaudet]
5015 *) PORT: Clean up undefined signals on some platforms (SCO, BeOS).
5018 *) After a SIGHUP the listening sockets in the parent weren't
5019 properly marked for closure on fork().
5020 [Jürgen Keil <jk@tools.de>] PR#2000
5022 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
5023 therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
5024 is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
5025 Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with
5026 %2f in them (occurs quite often in
5027 http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer]
5029 *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches. [Dean Gaudet]
5031 *) Make the shared object compilation command more portable by avoiding
5032 the direct combination of `-c' & `-o' which is not honored by some
5033 compilers like UnixWare's cc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5035 *) WIN32: the proxy was creating filenames missing the last four
5036 characters. While this normally doesn't stop anything from
5037 working, it can result in extra collisions.
5038 [Tim Costello <tjcostel@socs.uts.edu.au>] PR#1890
5040 *) Now mod_proxy uses the response string (in addition to the response status
5041 code) from the already used FTP SIZE command to setup the Content-Length
5042 header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183
5044 *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive:
5045 Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old
5046 name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to
5047 the mod_proxy.html and corrected the hyperlink to it in the
5048 new_features_1.3.html document. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1348
5050 *) Fix a bug in the src/helpers/fp2rp script and make it a little bit
5051 faster [Martin Kraemer]
5053 *) Make Configure die when you give it an unknown command switch.
5056 *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1,
5057 suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date
5058 and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
5059 document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
5060 Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5062 *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
5063 Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
5064 INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
5065 generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
5066 information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
5067 the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
5068 verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
5069 added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5071 *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
5072 from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the
5073 response performance of an Apache installation. This version is
5074 officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement

5076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5078 *) API: Various core functions that are definately not part of the API
5079 have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT. Still
5080 more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general
5081 use by modules. [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
5083 *) mod_proxy was not clearing the Proxy-Connection header from
5084 requests; now it does. This did not violate any spec, however
5085 causes poor interactions when you are talking to remote proxies.
5086 [Marc Slemko] PR#1741
5088 *) Various cleanups to the command line interface and manual pages.
5089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5091 *) cfg_getline() was not properly handling lines that did not end
5092 with a line termination character. [Marc Slemko] PR#1869, 1909
5094 *) Performance tweak to mod_log_config. [Dmitry Khrustalev]
5096 *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to
5097 "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header
5098 and regex. Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in
5099 the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by
5100 doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
5103 *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
5104 to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
5105 warnings [Jim Jagielski]
5107 *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
5110 *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
5111 mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
5112 checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
5113 HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
5114 checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
5115 from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
5116 the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
5117 especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
5118 be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together.
5119 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5121 *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]
5123 *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source
5124 and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte. [Dean Gaudet]
5126 *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they
5127 end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems
5128 that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet]
5130 *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified
5131 port is in the appropriate range. [Ben Hyde]
5133 *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
5134 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>]
5136 *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
5137 (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
5138 ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
5139 modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
5140 building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
5141 least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5143 *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
5144 content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They
5145 must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
5146 be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs
5147 related to this. [Dean Gaudet]
5149 *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
5150 treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There
5151 is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup().
5154 *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
5155 are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
5156 error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5158 *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
5159 environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes
5160 with mod_setenv. So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit
5161 TZ variable. [Jay Soffian <jay@cimedia.com>] PR#1888

5171 *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling
5172 modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and
5173 OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added. This way shared
5174 object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux,
5175 Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms!
5176 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5178 *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap"
5179 scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD
5180 and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD. [Dean Gaudet]
5182 *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
5183 mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
5184 files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated
5185 through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
5186 but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
5187 lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
5188 parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
5189 RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
5190 the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
5191 hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
5193 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no
5194 longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
5195 URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
5196 AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
5197 not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can
5198 be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
5199 does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
5200 also consistent with the Alias directive.

5203 *) Fix bug with mod_mime_magic causing certain files, including files
5204 of length 0, to result in no response from the server.
5207 *) The Configure script now generates src/include/ap_config.h which
5208 contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform.
5209 This file can then be included by external modules before including
5210 any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from
5211 Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were
5212 made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf
5213 defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
5215 *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where <VirtualHost> sections exist
5216 but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no
5217 chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus
5218 receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by
5219 remembering the server together with the config structure while
5220 configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a
5221 difference between the remembered server and the one calling us.
5222 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1790
5224 *) Fixed the DBM RewriteMap support for mod_rewrite: First the support now
5225 is automatically disabled under configure time when the dbm_xxx functions
5226 are not available. Second, two heavy source code errors in the DBM
5227 support code were fixed. This makes DBM RewriteMap's usable again after
5228 a long time of brokenness. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1696
5230 *) Now all configuration files support Unix-style line-continuation via
5231 the trailing backslash ("\") character. This enables us to write down
5232 complex or just very long directives in a more readable way. The

5254 up static content only servers. Or it may fail unpredictably.

5257 *) mod_test_util_uri.c created which tests the logic in util_uri.c.
5260 *) API: Rewrite of absoluteURI handling, and in particular how
5261 absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a
5262 "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been
5263 supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols
5264 which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests.
5266 In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a
5267 request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so
5268 that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set
5269 by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or
5270 translate_names phase.
5272 Plus changes to the virtualhost test suite for absoluteURI testing.
5274 This fixes several bugs with the proxy proxying requests to vhosts
5275 managed by the same httpd.

5296 *) API: A new source module main/util_uri.c; It contains a routine
5297 parse_uri_components() and friends which breaks a URI into its component
5298 parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called
5299 parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules.
5300 Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI
5301 components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part
5302 from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure,
5303 you find on a ready-for-use basis:
5304 scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */
5305 hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */
5306 user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */

5311 query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */
5312 fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */
5313 This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in

5320 RewriteRule and for the [E=NAME:STRING] flag of RewriteRule. This way the
5321 possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation
5322 locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5324 *) Fix initialization of RewriteLogLevel (default now is 0 as documented
5325 and not 1) and the per-virtual-server merging of directives. Now all
5326 directives except `RewriteEngine' and `RewriteOption' are either
5327 completely overridden (default) or completely inherited (when
5328 `RewriteOptions inherit') is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1325
5330 *) Fix `RewriteMap' program lookup in situations where such maps are
5331 defined but disabled (`RewriteEngine off') in per-server context.
5332 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1431
5334 *) Fix bug introduced in 1.3b4-dev, config with no Port setting would cause
5335 server to bind to port 0 rather than 80. [Dean Gaudet]
5337 *) Fix long-standing problem with RewriteMap _programs_ under Unix derivates
5338 (like SunOS and FreeBSD) which don't accept the locking of pipes
5339 directly. A new directive RewriteLock is introduced which can be used to
5340 setup a separate locking file which then is used for synchronization.
5341 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
5343 *) WIN32: The server root is obtained from the registry key
5344 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Group\Apache\<version> (version is currently
5345 "1.3 beta"), unless overridden by the -d command line flag. The
5346 value is stored by running "apache -i -d serverroot". [Paul Sutton]
5348 *) Merged os/win32/mod_dll.c into modules/standard/mod_so.c to support
5349 dynamic loading on Win32 and Unix via the same module. [Paul Sutton]
5351 *) Now mod_rewrite no longer makes problematic assumptions on the characters
5352 a username can contain when trying to expand it via /etc/passwd.
5353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5355 *) The mod_setenvif BrowserMatch backwards compatibility command did not
5356 work properly with spaces in the regex. [Ronald Tschalaer] PR#1825
5358 *) Add new RewriteMap types: First, `rnd' which is equivalent to the `txt'
5359 type but with a special post-processing for the looked-up value: It
5360 parses it into alternatives according to `|' chars and then only one
5361 particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential
5362 functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using
5363 Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of
5364 servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and
5365 `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an
5366 essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass
5367 virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using
5368 <VirtualHost> sections). [Ralf S. Engelschall, parts based on code from
5369 Jay Soffian <jay@cimedia.com>] PR#1631
5371 *) Add a new directive to mod_proxy similar to ProxyPass: `ProxyPassReverse'.
5372 This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in Location-headers on HTTP
5373 redirect responses sent by the remote server. This way the virtually
5374 mapped area is no longer left on redirects and thus by-passed which is
5375 especially essential when running Apache as a reverse proxy.
5376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5378 *) Hide Proxy-Authorization from CGI/SSI/etc just like Authorization is
5379 hidden. [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria]
5381 *) Apache will, when started with the -X (single process) debugging flag,
5382 honor the SIGINT or SIGQUIT signals again now. This capability got lost
5383 a while ago during OS/2 signal handling changes.
5385 *) [PORT] Work around the fact that NeXT runs on more than the
5386 m68k chips in mod_status [Scott Anguish and Timothy Luoma

5393 *) Use SA_RESETHAND or SA_ONESHOT when installing the coredump handlers.
5394 In particular the handlers could trigger themselves into an infinite
5395 loop if RLimitMem was used with a small amount of memory -- too small
5396 for the signal stack frame to be set up. [Dean Gaudet]

5407 *) API: As Ken suggested the check_cmd_context() function and related
5408 defines are non-static now so modules can use 'em. [Martin Kraemer]
5410 *) mod_info would occasionally produce an unpaired <tt> in its
5411 output. Fixed. [Martin Kraemer]
5413 *) By default AIX binds a process (and it's children) to a single
5414 processor. httpd children now unbind themselves from that cpu
5415 and re-bind to one selected at random via bindprocessor()
5418 *) Linux 2.0 and above implement RLIMIT_AS, RLIMIT_DATA has almost no
5419 effect. Work around it by using RLIMIT_AS for the RLimitMEM
5420 directive. [Enrik Berkhan <enrik@inka.de>] PR#1816
5422 *) mod_mime_magic error message should indicate the filename when
5423 reads fail. ["M.D.Parker" <mdpc@netcom.com>] PR#1827
5425 *) Previously Apache would permit </Files> to end <FilesMatch> (and
5426 similary for Location and Directory), now this is diagnosed as an
5427 error. Improve error messages for mismatched sections (<Files>,
5428 <FilesMatch>, <Directory>, <DirectoryMatch>, ...).
5429 [Dean Gaudet, Martin Kraemer]
5431 *) <Files> is not permitted within <Location> (because of the
5432 semantic ordering). [Dean Gaudet] PR#379
5434 *) <Files> with wildcards was broken by the change in wildcard
5435 semantics (* does not match /). To fix this, <Files> now
5436 apply only to the basename of the request filename. This
5437 fixes some other inconsistencies in <Files> semantics
5438 (such as <Files a*b> not working). [Dean Gaudet] PR#1817
5440 *) Removed bogus "dist.tar" target from Makefile.tmpl and make sure
5441 backup files are removed on "clean" target [Ralf S. Engelschall]

5445 *) Various errors from select() and accept() in child_main() would
5446 result in an infinite loop. It seems these two tickle kernel
5447 or library bugs occasionally, and result in log spammage and
5448 a generally bad scene. Now the child exits immediately,
5449 which seems to be a good workaround.

5463 Changes with Apache 1.3b5
5465 *) Source file dependencies in Makefile.tmpl files throughout the
5466 source tree were updated to accurately reflect reality.
5469 *) Preserve the content encoding given by the AddEncoding directive
5470 when the client doesn't otherwise specify an encoding.
5471 [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch>]
5473 *) Sort out problems with canonical filename handling happening too late.
5474 [Dean Gaudet, Ben Laurie]
5476 Changes with Apache 1.3b4
5478 *) The module structure was modified to include a *dynamic_load_handle
5479 in the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF portion, and the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER
5480 has been bumped accordingly. [Paul Sutton]
5482 *) All BrowserMatch directives mentioned in
5483 htdocs/manual/known_client_problems.html are in the default
5484 configuration files. [Lars Eilebrecht]
5486 *) MiNT port update. [Jan Paul Schmidt]
5488 *) HTTP/1.1 requires x-gzip and gzip encodings be treated
5489 equivalent, similarly for x-compress and compress. Apache
5490 now ignores a leading x- when comparing encodings. It also
5491 preserves the encoding the client requests (for example if
5492 it requests x-gzip, then Apache will respond with x-gzip
5493 in the Content-Encoding header).
5494 [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch>] PR#1772
5496 *) Fix a memory leak on keep-alive connections. [Igor Tatarinov]
5498 *) Added mod_so module to support dynamic loading of modules on Unix
5499 (like mod_dld for Win32). This replaces mod_dld.c. Use SharedModule
5500 instead of AddModule in Configuration to build shared modules
5501 [Sameer Parekh, Paul Sutton]
5503 *) Minor cleanups to r->finfo handling in some modules.
5506 *) Abstract read()/write() to ap_read()/ap_write().
5507 Makes it easier to add other types of IO code such as SFIO.
5510 *) API: Generalize default_port manipulations to make support of
5511 different protocols easier. [Ben Laurie, Randy Terbush]
5513 *) There are many cases where users do not want Apache to form
5514 self-referential urls using the "canonical" ServerName and Port.
5515 The new UseCanonicalName directive (default on), if set to off
5516 will cause Apache to use the client-supplied hostname and port.
5517 API: Part of this change required a change to the construct_url()
5518 prototype; and the addition of get_server_name() and
5520 [Michael Douglass <mikedoug@texas.net>, Dean Gaudet]
5521 PR#315, 459, 485, 1433
5523 *) Yet another rearrangement of the source tree.. now all the common
5524 header files are in the src/include directory. The -Imain -Iap
5525 references in Makefiles have been changed to the simpler -Iinclude
5526 instead. In addition to simplifying the build a little bit, this
5527 also makes it clear when a module is referencing something in a
5528 other than kosher manner (e.g., the proxy including mod_mime.h).
5529 Module-private header files (the proxy, mod_mime, the regex library,
5530 and mod_rewrite) have not been moved to src/include; nor have
5531 the OS-abstraction files. [Ken Coar]
5533 *) Fix a bug where r->hostname didn't have the :port stripped
5534 from it. [Dean Gaudet]
5536 *) Tweaked the headers_out table size, and the subprocess_env
5537 table size guess in rename_original_environment(). Added
5538 MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE which can help discover make_table()
5539 calls that use too small an initial guess, see alloc.c.
5542 *) Options and AllowOverride weren't properly merging in the main
5543 server setting inside vhosts (only an issue when you have no
5544 <Directory> or other section containing an Options that affects
5545 a request). Options +foo or -foo in the main_server wouldn't
5546 affect the main_server's lookup defaults. [Dean Gaudet]
5548 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
5551 *) r->allowed handling cleaned up in the standard modules.
5554 *) Some case-sensitivity issues cleaned up to be consistent with
5555 RFC2068. [Dean Gaudet]
5557 *) SIGURG doesn't exist everywhere.
5558 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich@tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
5560 *) mod_unique_id was erroneously generating a second unique id when
5561 an internal redirect occured. Such redirects occur, for example,
5562 when processing a DirectoryIndex match. [Dean Gaudet]
5564 *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup()
5565 of the key and value. But in many cases this is not required
5566 because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built
5567 by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn,
5568 table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these
5569 routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and
5570 standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines.
5571 The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations.
5573 Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value
5574 which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only
5575 safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of
5576 the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table.
5577 i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main
5578 request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the
5579 main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as
5580 the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper
5581 usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details.
5582 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>, Dean Gaudet]
5584 *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files"
5585 which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly.
5586 Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no
5587 MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled.
5590 *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts
5591 which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts
5592 appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of
5593 "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set.
5594 [Martin Kraemer, with code from peter@zeus.dialix.oz.au (Peter Wemm)
5597 *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should
5598 have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even
5599 some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition
5600 to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile
5601 time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change
5602 facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table
5603 structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts()
5604 to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet]
5606 *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP
5607 library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf]
5609 *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform.
5612 *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed:
5614 SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
5616 Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards
5617 and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the
5618 HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the
5619 OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for
5620 the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD
5621 and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to
5622 determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache
5623 to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard.
5626 *) PORT: UnixWare 2.1.2 SMP appears to require USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT,
5627 as do various earlier versions. It should be safe on all versions.
5628 Unixware 1.x appears to have the same SIGHUP bug as solaris does with
5629 the slack code. A few other cleanups for Unixware.

5632 *) PORT: A/UX can handle single-listen accepts without mutex
5633 locking, so we add SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. [Jim Jagielski]
5635 *) When die() happens we need to eat any request body if one exists.
5636 Otherwise we can't continue with a keepalive session. This shows up
5637 as a POST problem with MSIE 4.0, typically against pages which are
5638 authenticated. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
5640 *) If you define SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION then the Authorization
5641 header will be passed to CGIs. This is generally a security hole, so
5642 it's not a default. [Marc Slemko] PR#549
5644 *) Fix Y2K problem with date printing in suexec log.

5647 *) WIN32 deserves a pid file. [Ben Hyde]
5649 *) suexec errors now include the errno/description. [Marc Slemko] PR#1543
5651 *) PORT: OSF/1 now uses USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT to solve PR#467.
5652 The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that
5653 even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of
5654 magnitude slower. It also uses SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT so
5655 that single socket users will see no difference. [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
5657 *) "File does not exist" error message was erroneously including the
5658 errno. [Marc Slemko]
5660 *) Improve the warning message generated when a client drops the
5661 connection (hits stop button, etc.) during a send. [Roy Fielding]
5663 *) Defining GPROF will disable profiling in the parent and enable it
5664 in the children. If you're profiling under Linux this is pretty much
5665 necessary because SIGPROF is lost across a fork(). [Dean Gaudet]
5667 *) htdigest and htpasswd needed slight tweaks to work on OS/2 and WIN32.
5670 *) The NeXT cc (which is gcc hacked up) doesn't appear to support some
5671 gcc functionality. Work around it.

5674 *) Some linkers complain when .o files contain no functions.
5675 [Keith Severson <keith@sssd.navy.mil>] PR#1614
5677 *) Some const declarations in mod_imap.c that were added for debugging
5678 purposes caused some compilers heartburn without adding any
5679 significant value, so they've been removed. [Ken Coar]
5681 *) The src/main/*.h header files have had #ifndef wrappers added to
5682 insulate them against duplicate calls if they get included through
5683 multiple paths (e.g., in .c files as well as other .h files).
5686 *) The libap routines now have a header file for their prototypes,
5687 src/ap/ap.h, to ease their use in non-httpd applications. [Ken Coar]
5689 *) mod_autoindex with a plaintext header file would emit the <PRE>
5690 start-tag before the HTML preamble, rather than after the preamble
5691 but before the header file contents. [John Van Essen <jve@gamers.org>]
5694 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
5695 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
5696 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
5698 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
5699 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
5700 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
5702 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
5703 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
5705 *) The "Connection" header could be sent back with multiple "close"
5706 tokens. Not an error, but a waste.
5707 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1683
5709 *) mod_rewrite's RewriteLog should behave like mod_log_config, it
5710 shouldn't force hostname lookups. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1684
5712 *) "basic" auth needs a case-insensitive comparison.
5713 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1666
5715 *) For maximum portability, the environment passed to CGIs should
5716 only contain variables whose names match the regex
5717 /[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*/. This is now enforced by stamping
5718 underscores over any character outside the regex. This
5719 affects HTTP_* variables, in a way that should be backward
5720 compatible for all the standard headers; and affects variables
5721 set with SetEnv/BrowserMatch and similar directives.
5724 *) mod_speling returned incorrect HREF's when an ambigous match

5760 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
5761 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. [Dean Gaudet]
5763 *) WIN32: overhaul of multithreading code. Shutdowns are now graceful
5764 (connections are not dropped). Code can handle graceful restarts
5765 (but there is as yet no way to signal this to Apache). Various
5766 other cleanups. [Paul Sutton]
5768 *) The aplog_error changes specific to 1.3 introduced a buffer
5769 overrun in the (now legacy) log_printf function. Fixed.
5772 *) mod_digest didn't properly deal with proxy authentication. It
5773 also lacked a case-insensitive comparision of the "Digest"

5805 *) non-WIN32 was missing destroy_mutex definition. [Ben Hyde]
5807 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly.
5808 [Ben Reser <breser@regnow.com>] PR#1366
5810 *) The bputc() macro was not properly integrated with the chunking
5811 code; in many cases modules using bputc() could cause completely
5812 bogus chunked output. (Typically this will show up as problems
5813 with Internet Explorer 4.0 reading a page, but other browsers
5814 having no problem.) [Dean Gaudet]
5816 *) Create LARGE_WRITE_THRESHOLD define which determines how many
5817 bytes have to be supplied to bwrite() before it will consider
5818 doing a writev() to assemble multiple buffers in one system
5819 call. This is critical for modules such as mod_include,
5820 mod_autoindex, mod_php3 which all use bputc()/bputs() of smaller
5821 strings in some cases. The result would be extra effort
5822 setting up writev(), and in many cases extra effort building
5823 chunks. The default is 31, it can be overriden at compile
5826 *) Move the gid switching code into the child so that log files

5834 *) ap_snprintf() moved from main/util_snprintf.c to ap/ap_snprintf.c
5835 so the functionality is available to applications other than the

5838 *) ap_slack() moved out of main/util.c into ap/ap_slack.c as part of
5839 the libap consolidation work. [Ken Coar]
5841 *) ap_snprintf() with a len of 0 behaved like sprintf(). This is not
5842 useful, and isn't what the standards require. Now it returns 0

5846 the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
5848 *) Eliminate some dead code from writev_it_all().
5849 [Igor Tatarinov <tatarino@prairie.NoDak.edu>]
5851 *) mod_autoindex had an fread() without checking the result code.
5852 It also wouldn't handle "AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/text.gif text/*"
5853 (note the missing closing paren) properly. [Dean Gaudet]
5855 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
5856 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
5857 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]

5892 now have a title in which the path components are clickable and allow
5893 quick navigation to the clicked-on directory on the currently listed
5894 ftp server. This also fixes a bug where the ".." directory links would
5895 sometimes refer to the wrong directory. [Martin Kraemer]

5908 Changes with Apache 1.3b3
5910 *) WIN32: Work around brain-damaged spawn calls that can't deal
5911 with spaces and slashes. [Ben Laurie]
5913 *) WIN32: Fix the code so CGIs can use socket calls on Windows.
5914 The problem was that certain undocumented environment variables
5915 needed for sockets to work under Win32 were not being passed.
5916 [Frank Faubert <frank@sane.com>]
5918 *) Add a "-V" command line flag to the httpd binary. This
5919 flag shows some of the defines that Apache was compiled with.
5920 It is useful for debugging purposes. [Martin Kraemer]
5922 *) Start separating the ap_*() routines into their own library, so they
5923 can be used by items in src/support among other things.
5924 [Ken Coar] PR#512, 905, 1252, 1308
5926 *) Give a more informative error when no AuthType is set.
5929 *) Remove strtoul() use from mod_proxy because it isn't available
5930 on all platforms. [Marc Slemko] PR#1214
5932 *) WIN32: Some Win32 systems terminated all responses after 16 kB.
5933 This turns out to be a bug in Winsock - select() doesn't always
5934 return the correct status. [Ben Laurie]
5936 *) Directives owned by http_core can now use the new check_cmd_context()
5937 routine to ensure that they're not being used within a container
5938 (e.g., <Directory>) where they're invalid. [Martin Kraemer]
5940 *) PORT: Recent changes made it necessary to add explicit prototype
5941 for fgetc() and fgets() on SunOS 4.x. [Martin Kraemer, Ben Hyde]
5943 *) It was necessary to distinguish between resources which are
5944 allocated in the parent, for cleanup in the parent, and resources
5945 which are allocated in each child, for cleanup in each child.
5946 A new pool was created which is passed to the module child_init
5947 and child_exit functions; modules are free to register per-child
5948 cleanups there. This fixes a bug with reliable piped logs.
5951 *) mod_autoindex wasn't displaying the ReadmeName file at the bottom
5952 unless it was also doing FancyIndexes, but it displayed the
5953 HeaderName file at the top under all circumstances. It now shows
5954 the ReadmeName file for simple indices, too, as it should.
5957 *) http_core was mmap()ing even in cases where it wasn't going to
5958 read the file. [Ben Hyde <bhyde@gensym.com>]
5960 *) Complete rewrite ;-) of mod_rewrite's URL rewriting engine:
5961 Now the rewriting engine (the heart of mod_rewrite) is organized more
5962 straight-forward, first time well documented and reduced to the really
5963 essential parts. All redundant cases were stripped off and processing now
5964 is the same for both per-server and per-directory context with only a
5965 minimum difference (the prefix stripping in per-dir context). As a
5966 side-effect some subtle restrictions and two recently discovered problems
5967 are gone: Wrong escaping of QUERY_STRING on redirects in per-directory
5968 context and restrictions on the substitution URL on redirects.
5969 Additionally some minor source cleanups were done.

5976 *) If ap_slack fails to allocate above the low slack line it's a good

6121 name of the virtual host (listed first in the log records by "%v").
6124 Changes with Apache 1.3b2 (there is no 1.3b1)
6126 *) TestCompile was not passing $LIBS [Dean Gaudet]
6128 *) Makefile.tmpl was not using $CFLAGS in the link phase.
6131 *) Add debugging code to alloc.c. Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
6132 rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
6133 low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
6134 Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
6135 and free() for each object. This is far more expensive and should
6136 only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
6137 Purify. See main/alloc.c for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
6139 *) Configure uses a sh trap and didn't set its exitcode properly.
6140 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1159
6142 *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
6143 explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
6144 From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
6145 only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
6146 vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
6147 the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
6148 moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]
6150 *) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
6151 be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
6152 for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
6153 gcc >= 2.7.x (so that we have fewer support issues with older
6154 versions). [Dean Gaudet]
6156 *) Fix support for Proxy Authentication (we were testing the response
6157 status too early). [Marc Slemko]
6159 *) CoreDumpDirectory directive directs where the core file is
6160 written when a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABORT or SIGABRT are
6161 received. [Marc Slemko, Dean Gaudet]
6163 *) PORT: Support for Atari MINT.
6164 [Jan Paul Schmidt <Jan.P.Schmidt@mni.fh-giessen.de>]
6166 *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
6167 and stderr. stderr will not be detached until after the config
6168 files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
6169 messages. After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
6170 This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
6171 or crontabs. [Dean Gaudet] PR#523
6173 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
6174 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
6175 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
6177 *) send_fb would not detect aborted connections in some situations.
6180 *) mod_include would use uninitialized data when parsing certain
6181 expressions involving && and ||. [Brian Slesinsky] PR#1139
6183 *) mod_imap should only handle GET methods. [Jay Bloodworth]
6185 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
6187 *) mod_autoindex improperly counted &escapes; as more than one
6188 character in the description. It also improperly truncated
6189 descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
6192 *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155). Also
6193 "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
6196 *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
6197 and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
6198 redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
6199 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]
6201 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
6202 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
6203 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson@intranet.csupomona.edu>]
6205 *) PORT: Support Unisys SVR4, whose uname returns mostly useless data.

6208 *) Inetd mode (which is buggy) uses timeouts without having setup the
6209 jmpbuffer. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1064

6212 reporting a select error over and over.
6213 [Rick Franchuk <rickf@transpect.net>] PR#1107, 987, 588
6215 *) Fixed error in proxy_util.c when looping through multiple host IP
6216 addresses. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#974
6218 *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
6219 buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
6220 bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
6221 buffer boundary. [Dean Gaudet]
6223 *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
6224 the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on. As part of
6225 this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
6226 scoreboard_image was exported. This change fixes a race condition
6227 in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
6228 scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development. [Dean Gaudet]
6230 *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
6231 modules to register children with the parent for maintenance. It
6232 is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD. [Dean Gaudet]
6234 *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
6235 and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
6236 when it is available. The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
6237 by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS. At the moment reliable piped
6238 logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]
6240 *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
6241 meets_conditions(). This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
6242 handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
6243 the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.
6244 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding] PR#895
6246 *) Changes to mod_log_config to allow naming of format strings.
6247 Format nicknames are defined with "LogFormat fmt nickname", and can
6248 be used with "LogFormat nickname" and "CustomLog logtarget nickname".
6251 *) New module, "mod_speling", which can help find files even when
6252 the URL is slightly misspelled. [Martin Kraemer, Alexei Kosut]
6254 *) API: New function child_terminate() triggers the child process to
6255 exit, while allowing the child finish what it needs to for the
6256 current request first.
6257 [Doug MacEachern, Alexei Kosut]
6259 *) Windows now defaults to using full status reports with mod_status.
6260 [Alexei Kosut] PR #1094
6262 *) *Really* disable all mod_rewrite operations if the engine is off.
6263 Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
6264 weren't supposed to be. [Ken Coar] PR #991
6266 *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
6267 the time. Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
6268 show when the child has made forward progress. The parent samples this
6269 counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
6270 progress has been made in the timeout period. This reduces the static
6271 request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29. This scheme is only
6272 used by systems with memory-based scoreboards. [Dean Gaudet]
6274 *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
6275 to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote. [Marc Slemko] PR#1024
6277 *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support
6278 directory. This script allows you to do things such as
6279 "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
6282 *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
6283 simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
6286 *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
6287 an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
6288 external libraries. [Ken Coar]
6290 *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
6291 other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
6292 offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
6293 authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
6294 http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
6295 mod_auth_sql option in the near future.
6297 *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]
6299 *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
6300 Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.
6302 *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
6303 of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
6304 cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]
6306 *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
6307 avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings. It is intended to hold
6308 the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable). An
6309 update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
6310 appropriate. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
6312 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
6313 deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN. The previous
6314 behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
6315 This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
6316 stop working. [Marc Slemko] PR#817
6318 *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
6319 verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
6320 the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
6321 on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
6322 of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]
6324 *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
6325 errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
6327 *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
6328 converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
6329 slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
6330 correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]
6332 *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
6333 Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel <amarkel@encore.com>
6334 Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill <sborrill@xemplar.co.uk>
6336 *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
6337 configured and running" entry in the error_log. Also build an
6338 object file at link-time that contains the current time
6339 (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
6342 *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
6343 This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
6344 the proxy. [Marc Slemko] PR#659
6346 *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the
6347 scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
6348 mod_status to see current server snapshot.
6350 *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
6351 independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
6352 moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
6353 [David J. MacKenzie]
6355 *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
6356 to log. This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
6357 such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]
6359 *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
6360 Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles. The old behavior
6361 of replacing a newline after <title> with a space causes the
6362 title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]
6364 *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.

6367 *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
6368 files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]
6370 *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
6371 new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
6372 (*that's* new). [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352
6374 *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
6375 the server to use mmap() for static files. There are two
6376 compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
6377 required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
6378 number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
6379 default 32768). [Dean Gaudet]
6381 *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
6382 the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect. It is
6383 useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
6384 the headers/contents of the request. It does not run during subrequests
6385 because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
6386 request. [Dean Gaudet]
6388 *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
6389 each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
6392 *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened. This
6393 allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
6396 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
6397 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
6399 *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
6400 accept. In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
6401 locking were used. The method is chosen by the definition of
6402 USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h. xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
6403 and FLOCK for flock(). New options have been added:
6404 - SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
6405 - PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
6406 - USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
6407 Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
6409 - Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
6410 - Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
6411 - IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
6412 work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
6413 [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec@vtcom.fr>,
6414 Martijn Koster <m.koster@pobox.com>]
6416 *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
6417 mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use. But
6418 in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
6419 redundant to serialize accept(). Not all unixes do a good job with
6420 potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
6421 socket. It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
6422 the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
6423 and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
6424 [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
6426 *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
6427 some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
6428 the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
6429 available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
6430 now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
6431 We no longer default to -O2 optimization. [Jim Jagielski]
6433 *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
6434 module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
6435 Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own
6436 directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can
6437 create one. Modules can add compiler or library information to
6438 generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]
6440 *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in
6441 modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
6442 code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]
6444 *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
6447 *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
6448 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
6449 relative paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
6450 and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]
6452 *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
6453 N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
6454 components in the filename of an object.
6456 To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
6457 - Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
6458 <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
6459 character. For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
6460 match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
6461 like "/home/bob/public_html". This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
6462 - It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
6464 - Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.
6468 *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
6469 and corrupted paths. [Dean Gaudet]
6471 *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
6472 First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
6473 be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
6474 strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
6475 parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
6476 via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
6477 strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
6478 through the use of backreferences.
6479 Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
6480 code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function.
6481 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6483 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
6484 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
6485 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
6487 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
6488 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
6491 *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
6492 has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
6493 Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
6494 - the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
6495 - the matching process now is:
6496 - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
6498 - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
6499 - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
6500 name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
6501 *only on name-based vhosts*
6502 - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
6503 [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins@sugarat.net>]
6505 *) dbmmanage overhaul:
6506 - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new
6507 - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
6508 GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
6509 - provide better seed for rand
6510 - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
6512 - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
6513 - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
6515 - added `check' command to check a users' password
6516 - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or
6517 dbm files exported with `view'
6518 - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
6521 *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
6522 the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
6523 for its sockets. bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket(). There
6524 was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
6525 registered cleanup. [Dean Gaudet]
6527 *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
6530 *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
6531 [Jason Venner <jason@idiom.com>] PR#667
6533 *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
6534 the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
6535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6537 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
6538 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
6540 *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
6541 SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
6542 for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]
6544 *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
6545 (courtesy of Paul Sutton). BrowserMatch* directives are still
6546 available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
6547 UnSetEnvIfZero directives. [Ken Coar]
6549 *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
6550 order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
6551 REMOTE_HOST). The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
6554 *) mod_access overhaul:
6555 - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
6556 and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
6557 - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config time.
6558 - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
6559 the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
6560 - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
6561 no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
6562 doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
6563 hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
6564 without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
6567 *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
6568 while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
6569 the large write and the buffer into a single writev(). (This is
6570 in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
6573 *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
6574 Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block. Cleaned
6575 up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c. Fixed
6576 a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
6577 of a response to be unduly delayed. [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]
6579 *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure. This is called
6580 once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s
6581 e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
6582 [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
6584 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
6585 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
6588 *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
6589 in some cases, but not in others. It now avoids it in all cases.
6592 *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
6593 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>] PR#904
6595 *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
6596 [Alexander L Jones <alex@systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732
6598 *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
6599 by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
6600 or descending order. Just click on the column header. [Ken Coar]
6602 *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
6603 CPUs like the Alpha. Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
6604 the relatively safe direction. [Dean Gaudet] PR#344
6606 *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
6607 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh@mail.wplus.net>] PR#683
6609 *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
6610 listening socket. [Dean Gaudet]
6612 *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
6613 spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
6614 doubling each second. It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
6615 since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
6616 setting. The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
6617 the maximum. [Dean Gaudet]
6619 *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
6620 CGI scripts. This means that data will be sent to the client
6621 as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
6622 buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
6623 could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
6624 or output a complete buffer. It is no longer necessary to use an
6625 "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output. Given that most CGIs are written
6626 in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
6627 shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.
6629 "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
6630 without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
6631 HTTP/1.1 or SSL support. As such they would have had to implement
6632 the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
6633 to work properly in certain situations. Now, the only difference
6634 between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
6635 [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]
6637 *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
6638 bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
6639 switch. [Dean Gaudet]
6641 Changes with Apache 1.3a1
6643 *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
6644 if a specified library exists. [Jim Jagielski]
6646 *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
6647 [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes@aw.sgi.com>]
6650 *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
6651 functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
6652 NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
6654 *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
6655 and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
6656 mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
6658 *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
6659 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh@mail.wplus.net>]
6661 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
6662 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
6663 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
6664 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
6666 *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
6667 match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new
6670 *) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
6673 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
6674 REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.

6681 *) PORT: -lresolv and -lsocks were in the wrong order for Solaris.
6682 ["Darren O'Shaughnessy" <darren@aaii.oz.au>] PR#846
6684 *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
6685 the output of mod_info. ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl@usi.utah.edu>]
6687 *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
6688 addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
6689 names to be qualified by redirection.
6690 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>]
6692 *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
6693 header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
6696 *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
6697 3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
6698 URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
6699 redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
6700 braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
6701 no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
6702 mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
6703 an empty query string via "xxx?".
6704 This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
6705 i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
6706 exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
6707 the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
6708 no longer maintains an external version.
6709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6711 *) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
6712 once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
6713 See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
6715 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
6716 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
6718 *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
6719 processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
6722 *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
6723 string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
6725 *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
6726 settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
6727 src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
6729 *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
6730 directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
6731 if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
6732 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
6734 *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
6735 LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
6736 compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
6737 [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
6739 *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
6740 This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
6741 from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
6742 trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
6743 you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
6744 indexing then you'll want to add:
6746 Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
6748 before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
6750 *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
6751 [Dean Gaudet] PR#525
6753 *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
6754 giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>

6758 *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
6759 ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl@usi.utah.edu>]
6761 *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
6762 of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)
6763 command. [Ian Kluft <ikluft@cisco.com>]
6765 *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
6766 request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
6768 *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
6769 main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
6771 *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
6772 nmake -f Makefile.nt
6773 Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
6775 *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
6776 potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
6778 *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
6779 for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
6780 enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
6782 *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
6783 avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
6784 and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
6785 The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
6786 work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
6789 *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
6790 to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
6791 [Dean Gaudet] PR#372
6793 *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
6794 module list. [Dean Gaudet]
6796 *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
6797 unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
6798 particularly important for high volume sites with a large
6799 HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
6800 and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
6801 httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
6803 *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
6804 busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
6806 *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
6807 (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
6810 *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
6811 the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
6812 compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
6813 would without sfio compiled in.
6816 *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
6817 usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
6818 selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
6821 *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
6822 will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not
6823 work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr@netmatic.com>] PR#444
6825 *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
6826 passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.
6829 *) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
6830 request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
6831 how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]
6833 *) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
6834 so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]
6836 *) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
6839 *) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
6840 aggressively try to kill off specific children. For fastcgi.
6841 [Stanley Gambarin <gambarin@OpenMarket.com>]
6843 *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
6845 *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
6846 When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
6847 attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]
6849 *) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added. [Jim Jagielski]
6851 *) PORT: Added Windows NT support
6852 [Ben Laurie and Ambarish Malpani <ambarish@valicert.com>]
6854 Changes with Apache 1.2.6

6860 *) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
6861 gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
6862 actually be reached via that port/addr. [Ed Korthof <ed@organic.com>]
6864 *) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
6865 properly. [Ed Korthof <ed@organic.com>]
6867 *) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
6870 *) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
6871 and mod_include.c. [Dean Gaudet]
6873 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
6876 *) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
6877 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich@tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
6879 *) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a

6883 *) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
6884 the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
6886 *) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with

6888 <sscheck@infonex.net>, Ben Laurie] PR#1604
6890 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
6891 cases. [Ben Reser <breser@regnow.com>] PR#1366
6893 *) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
6894 in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500
6896 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
6897 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
6898 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
6900 *) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
6901 header, not an error, but a waste.
6902 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1683
6904 *) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.
6905 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1599, PR#1666
6907 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
6908 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
6909 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
6911 *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
6914 *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
6915 the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
6916 mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
6918 *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
6919 some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]

6927 Changes with Apache 1.2.5
6929 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
6930 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
6931 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]

6936 *) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
6937 directory listings. [Marc Slemko]
6939 *) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
6942 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
6943 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
6944 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
6946 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
6947 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
6949 *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
6950 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
6951 was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
6952 is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
6953 Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
6954 should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
6955 from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
6956 between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
6958 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
6959 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
6960 was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the the previous note
6961 about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
6963 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
6964 permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
6965 The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
6966 be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
6967 htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
6969 *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
6970 Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial
6971 of service attack against the Apache server. Thanks to

6984 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
6985 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson@intranet.csupomona.edu>]

6997 Changes with Apache 1.2.4
6999 *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
7000 always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.
7001 [Marc Slemko, Roy Fielding]
7003 *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
7004 on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
7006 Changes with Apache 1.2.3
7008 *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
7009 result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
7010 supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
7011 PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]
7013 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
7014 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
7016 *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
7017 do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
7019 *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
7021 Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
7023 *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
7024 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
7025 paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
7028 *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
7029 USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
7032 *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
7033 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
7035 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
7036 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
7037 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
7039 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
7040 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
7043 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
7044 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
7046 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
7047 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
7050 *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
7051 mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
7052 o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
7053 minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
7055 - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
7056 - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string

7058 - fixed cases where r->args is ""
7059 - kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
7060 - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
7061 - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
7062 o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
7063 o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
7064 find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
7065 o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
7066 o fixed a few comment typos
7067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7069 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
7070 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
7072 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
7073 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
7074 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
7075 Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
7076 a deficiency in the header_parse phase.

7087 insensitive. The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
7088 an HTTP/0.9 server. [Kenichi Hori <ken@d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814
7090 *) mod_include would log some bogus values occasionally.

7093 *) PORT: The slack fd changes in 1.2.1 introduced a problem with SIGHUP
7094 under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
7095 [Dean Gaudet] PR#832
7097 *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
7098 is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
7099 of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
7100 handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
7101 what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
7102 next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
7103 has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378
7105 *) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
7106 release version number, such that it always increases along the
7107 same lines as our source code branching. [Roy Fielding]
7109 *) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed. [Paul Sutton] PR#94
7111 Changes with Apache 1.2.1
7113 *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
7114 symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
7115 or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of

7119 could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
7120 the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
7122 *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
7123 (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
7124 mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
7126 *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
7127 BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
7129 *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
7130 if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
7131 to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
7132 options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
7134 *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
7135 lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
7136 [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
7139 *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
7140 body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
7141 not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
7143 *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
7144 makes. [Marc Slemko]
7146 *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.
7147 [Dean Gaudet] PR#644
7149 *) mod_include was not properly changing the current directory.
7150 [Marc Slemko] PR#742
7152 *) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
7153 handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
7154 solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
7155 descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
7156 can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
7157 which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
7158 this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
7159 log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
7160 you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
7161 [Dean Gaudet] various PRs
7163 *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
7164 log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
7165 problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
7166 directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
7167 work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]
7169 *) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
7172 *) Improved unix error response logging. [Marc Slemko]
7174 *) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6. New ruleflag
7175 QSA=query_string_append. Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
7176 when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special

7221 *) Proxy needs to use hard_timeout instead of soft_timeout when it is
7222 reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
7223 a custom timeout handler. [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]
7225 *) Fixed problem on IRIX with servers hanging in IdentityCheck,
7226 apparently due to a mismatch between sigaction and setjmp.
7227 [Roy Fielding] PR#502

7233 *) Virtual hosts with the same ServerName, but on different ports, were
7234 not being selected properly. [Ed Korthof]

7238 change submitted by Jozsef Hollosi <hollosi@sbcm.com>.
7239 [Chuck Murcko] PR#614
7241 *) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
7242 data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
7243 scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
7244 causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.

7247 *) The OS/2 handling of process group was broken by a porting patch for
7248 MPE, so restored prior code for OS/2. [Roy Fielding and Garey Smiley]

7254 has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
7255 negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
7256 [Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]
7258 *) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
7259 loop would try to read another request even though the connection
7260 has been aborted. [Roy Fielding]
7262 *) Configure changes: Allow for whitespace at the start of a
7263 Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
7264 CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
7265 flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]
7267 *) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
7268 original request-line. [Roy Fielding]
7270 *) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
7271 we don't want the error message to include those fields. Likewise,
7272 reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
7273 before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
7274 message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]

7277 and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
7278 Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
7279 (the usual case). [Roy Fielding]

7282 not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
7283 directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h. Changed the value
7284 of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).

7290 *) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
7291 around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
7294 *) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
7295 (and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
7296 the CGI script filename. The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
7297 been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
7298 script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
7299 This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
7300 in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
7303 *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
7304 that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
7305 But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
7306 forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
7307 to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
7308 updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
7310 *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
7311 generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
7312 body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
7313 message body again. [Rob Hartill]

7337 changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
7339 *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops

7391 *) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
7392 parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
7393 at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
7394 image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
7395 read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
7396 so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
7397 padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232

7416 *) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
7417 .htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
7418 Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
7419 <Directory> sections missing a trailing /. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7421 *) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x. For
7422 1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
7423 USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
7424 HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
7425 [Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340
7427 *) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
7428 request. [Dean Gaudet]
7430 *) Configure was finding non-modules on EXTRA_LIBS. [Frank Cringle] PR#380
7432 *) Use /bin/sh5 on ULTRIX. [P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia] PR#369
7434 *) Add UnixWare compile/install instructions. [Chuck Murcko]
7436 *) Add mod_example (illustration of API techniques). [Ken Coar]
7438 *) Add macro for memmove to conf.h for SUNOS4. [Marc Slemko]
7440 *) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
7443 *) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
7444 necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
7445 exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]
7447 *) More signed/unsigned port fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
7449 *) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
7452 Changes with Apache 1.2b8
7454 *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
7455 to it. [Marc Slemko]
7457 *) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
7458 sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
7459 the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
7461 *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
7462 signal is received. [Ken Coar]
7464 *) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
7465 spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
7466 are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
7467 about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
7468 now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]
7470 *) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
7471 log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]
7473 *) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]
7475 *) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
7476 processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
7477 of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
7478 in the middle of an SSI request. [Dean Gaudet] PR #122
7480 *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
7481 (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
7482 full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
7483 as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]
7485 *) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276
7487 *) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246
7489 *) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux. [Dean Gaudet]
7491 *) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
7492 spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
7493 event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
7494 before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
7496 *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
7497 never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
7498 We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
7499 didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
7500 transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]
7502 *) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
7503 Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
7504 the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
7505 We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
7506 ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
7507 while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
7509 *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
7510 to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
7512 *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
7513 connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
7514 of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
7515 improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
7516 be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
7517 is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
7518 responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
7519 accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
7521 *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
7522 and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
7523 resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
7524 requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
7525 continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
7526 send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
7527 around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
7528 propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
7530 *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
7533 *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
7534 name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
7535 info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
7538 *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
7539 new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
7541 *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
7542 name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
7544 *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
7545 initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
7547 *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
7548 file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
7550 *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
7552 *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
7553 to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
7555 *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
7556 fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
7558 *) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
7560 *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
7561 Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
7562 no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
7563 [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
7565 *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
7566 mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
7568 *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
7569 charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
7570 listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
7572 *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
7573 when nalloc==0. [Kai Risku <krisku@tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]
7575 *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
7578 *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
7581 *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
7582 due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
7584 *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
7585 since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
7587 *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
7588 not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
7589 [Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
7591 *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
7592 in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
7594 *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
7595 [Garey Smiley] PR #59
7597 *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
7598 path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
7600 *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
7601 and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
7602 other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
7603 with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
7605 *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
7606 AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
7607 redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
7608 RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
7609 special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
7610 can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
7611 time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7613 *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
7614 Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
7615 place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
7616 with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
7617 in use. [Ben Laurie]
7619 *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
7620 initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
7621 comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
7623 *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
7624 caused a SEGV on some systems.
7626 *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
7629 *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
7631 *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
7632 introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
7633 [Dean Gaudet] PR #212
7635 Changes with Apache 1.2b7
7637 *) Port to UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom@yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]
7639 *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
7641 *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
7642 - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
7643 - save variant-list into main request notes
7644 - free allocated memory from subrequests
7645 - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
7647 *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
7648 "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
7651 *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
7652 - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
7653 - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
7654 - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
7655 - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
7656 specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
7657 on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
7658 perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
7659 - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
7662 *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
7663 after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
7666 *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
7667 character if the next character is one that needs
7668 escaping. [Ben Laurie]
7670 *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
7671 used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
7672 [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno@tc.hsa.nl>]
7674 *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
7675 one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
7677 *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
7678 print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
7680 *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
7681 [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
7683 *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
7684 read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
7686 *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
7687 read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
7688 the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
7690 *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
7691 select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
7692 checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
7693 account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
7694 prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
7695 socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
7696 EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
7697 improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
7699 *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
7700 auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
7701 and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
7703 *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
7704 server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
7706 *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
7707 - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
7708 - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
7709 - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
7710 - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
7712 *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
7715 *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
7716 since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
7717 [Harald T. Alvestrand]
7719 *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
7720 [Ben Laurie, reported by geddis@tesserae.com]
7722 *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
7723 http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
7724 [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]
7726 *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
7727 as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
7728 [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
7730 *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
7731 due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
7732 it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
7734 *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
7735 sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
7736 SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
7737 [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
7739 *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
7740 causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
7741 wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
7743 *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
7744 the clean environment on some systems.
7746 *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
7747 bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
7748 Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
7751 *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]
7753 *) Port to HP MPE operating system for HP 3000 machines
7754 [Mark Bixby <markb@cccd.edu>]
7756 *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
7757 given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
7759 *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
7761 *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
7762 until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
7763 This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
7764 an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
7765 performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
7766 many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
7767 must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
7768 or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
7770 *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
7772 *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
7773 fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
7775 *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
7776 for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
7778 *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
7779 and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
7782 *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
7784 *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
7786 Changes with Apache 1.2b6
7788 *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]
7790 *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
7791 accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
7792 1.2b5 was never a public beta.
7794 Changes with Apache 1.2b5
7796 *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
7797 MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
7799 *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
7800 regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
7803 *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
7804 Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
7806 *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
7807 scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
7808 defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
7810 *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
7813 *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
7814 overflows. [Marc Slemko]
7816 *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
7817 as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
7819 *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
7822 *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
7823 to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
7824 continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
7826 *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
7827 than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
7829 *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
7832 *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
7833 CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
7835 *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
7838 *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
7839 when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
7842 *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
7843 recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
7844 be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
7846 - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
7847 directory and below.
7848 - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
7849 - restrict passed environment to known variables
7850 - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
7851 - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
7853 *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
7855 *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
7857 *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
7859 *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
7861 *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
7862 MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
7863 problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
7865 *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
7866 AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
7868 *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
7869 It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
7871 *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
7874 *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
7875 caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
7876 handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
7877 Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
7879 *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
7881 *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
7883 *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
7885 *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
7886 server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
7888 *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
7889 found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
7891 *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
7892 double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
7893 status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
7895 *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
7896 interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
7897 that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
7898 we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
7899 prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
7900 reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
7902 *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
7903 [mgyger@itr.ch, Adrian Filipi-Martin]
7905 *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
7906 select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
7907 [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from adrian@virginia.edu]
7909 *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
7910 continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
7911 would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
7912 count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
7913 are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
7915 *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
7916 Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
7917 Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
7919 *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
7921 Changes with Apache 1.2b4
7923 *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
7924 could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
7925 overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
7928 *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
7930 *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
7931 defined for some systems.
7933 *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
7936 *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
7937 style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
7939 *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
7940 execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
7942 *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
7944 *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
7946 Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
7948 *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
7949 freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
7951 *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
7953 *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
7956 *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
7958 *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
7959 ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
7961 *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
7962 currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
7963 control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
7964 those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
7965 allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
7968 *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
7969 the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
7971 *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
7973 *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
7974 1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
7975 2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
7976 3. CGI command lines paramters problems
7977 4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
7978 [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
7980 *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
7981 a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
7982 argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
7984 *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
7985 handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
7987 *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
7989 *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
7990 r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
7993 *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
7994 Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
7996 *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
7997 using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
7999 *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
8000 by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
8004 *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
8005 PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
8006 Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
8007 [later removed in 1.2b11]
8009 *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
8010 arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
8012 *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
8014 *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
8015 NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
8017 *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
8018 redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
8019 in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
8021 Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
8023 *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
8024 This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
8025 bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
8027 *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
8029 *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
8031 *) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
8032 1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
8033 2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
8034 host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
8035 and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
8036 3) Adds Host: header when not available
8037 4) Some code cleanup and clarification
8039 *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
8040 1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
8041 be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
8042 2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
8043 3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [perrot@lal.in2p3.fr]
8044 4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
8045 [Ben Yoshino <ben@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
8046 5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
8049 *) Fix infinite loop when processing Content-language lines in
8050 type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]
8052 *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]
8054 *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
8055 for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]
8057 *) Added PORTING information file. [Jim Jagielski]
8059 *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]
8061 *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]
8063 *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
8064 USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.
8066 *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
8067 which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.
8069 *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
8070 http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]
8072 *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
8073 and portable isdigit() test. [Ben Laurie]
8075 *) Updated Configure for ...
8076 OS/2 (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
8077 *-dg-dgux* (bad pattern match)
8078 QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
8079 *-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
8082 and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
8084 *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
8085 for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
8087 *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
8088 SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
8089 SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
8090 SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
8091 IRIX64 (-sgi-irix64)
8092 ULTRIX (-unknown-ultrix)
8093 SINIX (-whatever-sysv4)
8094 NCR Unix (-ncr-sysv4)
8095 and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath [Ben Laurie]
8097 Changes with Apache 1.2b1
8099 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>
8101 Changes with Apache 1.1.1
8103 *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
8104 logfile for each access [Mark Cox]
8106 *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
8107 leak. [Nathan Neulinger]
8109 *) MultiViews now works correctly with AddHandler [Alexei Kosut]
8111 *) Problems with mod_auth_msql fixed [Dirk vanGulik]
8113 *) Fix misspelling of "Anonymous_Authorative" directive in mod_auth_anon.
8115 Changes with Apache 1.1.0
8117 *) Bring NeXT support up to date. [Takaaki Matsumoto]
8119 *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]
8121 *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
8122 [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]
8124 *) Allow ScanHTMLTitles to work with lowercase <title> tags. [Alexei Kosut]
8126 *) Fix missing address family for connect, also remove unreachable statement
8127 in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]
8129 *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.
8131 *) Bugs which were fixed:
8132 a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
8133 b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
8134 c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [osm@interguide.com]
8135 d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [jk@tools.de]
8137 Changes with Apache 1.1b4
8139 *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
8141 *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
8143 *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
8145 *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
8147 *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
8150 *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]
8152 *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.
8154 *) Actions now work with files of the default type.
8156 *) Bugs which were fixed:
8157 a) more mod_proxy bugs
8158 b) early termination of inetd requests
8159 c) compile warnings on several systems
8160 d) problems when scripts stop reading output early
8162 Changes with Apache 1.1b3
8164 *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
8165 various security holes found and that we could no longer support
8168 *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
8169 instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
8170 Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
8172 *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
8175 *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
8176 (No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
8178 *) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
8179 functions now available to modules.
8181 *) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
8184 *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
8185 special URL, a la mod_status.
8187 *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
8188 for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.
8190 *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.
8192 *) MSQL authentication module improvements.
8194 *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]
8196 *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication
8199 *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
8200 less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
8201 value. [Alexei Kosut]
8203 *) Bugs which were fixed:
8204 a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
8205 b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
8206 c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
8207 d) RefererIgnore problems
8208 e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
8209 Linux and elsewhere).
8211 Changes with Apache 1.1b2
8214 a) core dumps in mod_digest
8215 b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
8216 c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files
8218 Changes with Apache 1.1b1
8220 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>
8222 Changes with Apache 1.0.3
8224 *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
8225 query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
8228 *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
8229 directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
8232 *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
8234 *) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
8237 *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
8239 *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
8240 This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
8241 send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
8244 *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
8245 lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
8247 *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
8248 now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
8249 which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
8251 *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
8253 *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
8254 which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
8256 *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
8259 *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
8260 particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
8262 *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
8264 Changes with Apache 1.0.2
8266 *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
8267 a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
8269 *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
8272 *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
8273 setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
8274 broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
8275 for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
8277 *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
8280 *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
8282 *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
8283 one. [David Robinson]
8285 *) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
8287 Changes with Apache 1.0.1
8289 *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
8292 *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
8293 and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
8294 relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
8296 *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
8297 had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
8298 initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
8301 *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
8302 out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
8303 The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
8304 be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
8305 system failure. [Ben Laurie]
8307 *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
8309 Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
8311 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
8313 Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
8315 *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
8317 *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
8318 given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
8319 back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
8321 *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
8322 generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
8323 accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
8324 a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
8326 *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
8327 extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
8329 *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
8330 "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
8331 that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
8333 *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
8335 *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
8337 *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
8338 to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
8341 *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
8342 parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
8344 *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
8347 *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
8349 *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
8350 in redirects [David Robinson]
8352 Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
8354 *) Switched to new, simpler license
8356 *) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
8358 *) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
8360 *) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
8362 *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
8365 *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
8367 *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
8368 so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
8371 *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
8374 *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
8376 *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
8379 *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
8380 entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
8382 *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
8385 *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
8386 containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
8388 *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
8390 *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
8392 *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
8394 *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
8396 *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
8398 *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
8400 *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
8402 *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
8404 *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
8407 Changes with Apache 0.8.14 19 Sep 1995
8409 *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]
8411 *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]
8413 *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
8414 privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]
8416 *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
8417 that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
8420 *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
8421 is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]
8423 *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]
8425 Changes with Apache 0.8.13 07 Sep 1995
8427 *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]
8429 *) Have built-in imagemap code recognize & honor Point directive [James
8432 *) Generate cleaner directory listings in directories with a mix of
8433 long and short filenames [Rob Hartill]
8435 *) Properly initialize dynamically loaded modules [Royston Shufflebotham]
8437 *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]
8439 *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
8440 Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]
8442 *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
8443 allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
8444 if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]
8446 *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
8447 on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]
8449 *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
8452 *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]
8454 *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
8455 [Tobias Weingartner]
8457 Changes with Apache 0.8.12 31 Aug 1995
8459 *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
8460 too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
8461 subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
8462 after the entire document has been processed). [Robert Thau]
8464 *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off. (Ooops). [David Robinson]
8466 *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]
8468 *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
8469 same directory [David Robinson]
8471 *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
8472 causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
8473 *particular* index.html file) to fail. [David Robinson]
8475 *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
8476 authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
8477 client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
8478 needed here yet). [Robert Thau]
8480 *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]
8482 *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]
8484 *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
8485 requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
8486 do RFC931. [David Robinson]
8488 *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
8491 *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]
8493 *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]
8495 Changes with Apache 0.8.11 24 Aug 1995
8497 *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work. [Robert Thau]
8499 *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
8501 *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
8502 the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
8503 up to it. [Robert Thau]
8505 *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
8506 in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]
8508 *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
8509 "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
8511 *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
8512 other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
8514 *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
8517 *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
8518 --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
8519 (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
8520 icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
8523 *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
8526 *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
8529 *) Fixed English in the license language... "for for" --> "for".
8532 *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
8533 mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
8534 adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
8535 to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
8536 ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
8537 NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
8540 Changes with Apache 0.8.10 18 Aug 1995
8542 *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
8543 subdirectories. [David Robinson]
8545 *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
8546 using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
8547 not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
8548 if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
8549 lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris. [David Robinson;
8550 thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].
8552 Changes with Apache 0.8.9 12 Aug 1995
8554 *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]
8556 *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
8557 for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
8558 which try to print out the last-modified date). [Eric Hagberg/Robert
8561 *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
8562 URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
8563 else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility. (Note that
8564 this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
8565 code just by asking for it). [Robert Thau]
8567 *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
8570 *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
8571 then going insane [David Robinson]
8573 *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
8575 *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]
8577 *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
8578 workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
8579 if you still want the workaround). [Rob Hartill]
8581 *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
8582 content negotiation. (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
8583 for the new HTTP draft). [Florent Guillaume]
8585 *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]
8587 *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]
8589 *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
8592 *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
8593 paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]
8595 *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
8598 *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
8599 it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
8600 workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
8601 alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
8602 [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]
8604 *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]
8606 *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include. [Brian
8607 Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]
8609 *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
8611 *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]
8613 *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]
8615 Changes with Apache 0.8.8 08 Aug 1995
8617 *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
8618 requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
8619 people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
8622 (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
8623 SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
8624 -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES. Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
8625 with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
8628 *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
8629 to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.
8631 Changes with Apache 0.8.7 03 Aug 1995
8633 *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
8634 [reported by David Robinson]
8636 *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]
8638 *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
8639 experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
8642 Changes with Apache 0.8.6 02 Aug 1995
8644 *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
8645 (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
8646 couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]
8648 *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
8649 GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
8650 [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]
8652 *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala". [Reported by Chuck Murcko]
8654 *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
8655 not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
8656 and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable). On
8657 all other systems, these are never used anyway. [Reported by Mark Cox].
8659 *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.
8661 Changes with Apache 0.8.5 01 Aug 1995
8663 *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module
8665 *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
8666 properly. (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).
8668 *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
8669 It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
8670 If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
8671 comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
8672 spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).
8674 *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.
8676 *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX. A/UX is *weird*. [Eric Hagberg,
8679 *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].
8681 *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script. [Alexei Kosut]
8683 *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
8684 *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
8685 fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]
8687 *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
8688 legal disclaimer (everyplace).
8690 *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
8693 Changes with Apache 0.8.4
8695 *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
8696 StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
8697 parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
8698 MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
8699 back-compatibility). The old names were generally regarded as
8700 too confusing. Also altered "docs" in sample config files.
8702 *) More improvements to default config files ---
8703 sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
8704 CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
8705 defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
8706 improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]
8708 *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
8709 Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
8710 [ Florent Guillaume ]
8712 *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
8715 *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
8716 do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
8719 *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]
8721 Changes with Apache 0.8.3
8723 *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
8724 procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
8727 *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
8728 recent NCSA distributions.
8730 *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
8731 exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault. [Reported
8734 *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]
8736 *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.
8738 *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
8739 preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
8740 reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]
8742 *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
8743 dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]
8745 *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
8746 instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
8747 deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address). Would be
8748 nice to have examples of new features...
8750 Changes with Apache 0.8.2 19 Jul 1995
8752 *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]
8754 *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found. [Mark Cox]
8756 *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory. It would
8757 be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
8758 just punt. [reported by Brian Behlendorf]
8760 *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
8761 is gone and we can reopen it. [reported by Randy Terbush]
8763 *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration
8765 *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
8768 *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
8769 module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
8770 an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]
8772 *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]
8774 *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]
8776 *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]
8778 *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
8781 Changes with Apache 0.8.1
8783 *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
8785 *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
8786 [Matthew Gray again]
8788 *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
8791 Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2) 16 Jul 1995
8793 *) New config script. See INSTALL for info. [Robert Thau]
8795 *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
8796 processes. MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
8797 for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different. (Actually,
8798 I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).
8800 Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
8801 the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
8802 connection. If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
8803 off. Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
8804 looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
8805 if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one. This
8806 does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
8807 The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
8808 /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
8809 descriptor (they need to seek without interference).
8811 The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
8812 servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
8813 off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
8814 these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
8815 reverting to the overhead of full forking operation. There is a
8816 hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
8817 avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
8818 (This is arguably too high).
8820 In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
8821 impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
8822 scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
8823 overhead than tmpfs). [Robert Thau]
8825 *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
8828 *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
8829 (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
8832 *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
8833 than trying to send no body *and* no headers. [Cliff Skolnick].
8835 *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
8836 mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
8837 handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
8838 but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
8841 *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
8842 it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
8843 up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]
8845 *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
8846 sa_client around; just declare it where used. [Robert Thau]
8848 *) Another acc-related fix. (It doesn't like const char
8849 in some places...). [Mark Cox]
8851 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1 13 Jul 1995
8853 *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
8854 Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.
8856 *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]
8858 *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
8859 over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
8860 believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
8861 a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*. Even *my*
8862 compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
8863 required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.
8865 *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
8866 servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
8867 [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].
8869 *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
8870 finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]
8872 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0 10 Jul 1995
8874 *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft. soft_timeout()s just put
8875 the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
8876 allow whatever handlers are running to clean up. hard_timeout()s
8877 abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
8878 resource pool cleanup will leak. They're still around because I
8879 haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
8880 timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client. The
8881 default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
8882 so I can test the feature. [Robert Thau]
8884 *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there. Note that
8885 the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
8886 gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
8887 the server will hang. (It is known to correctly restart the
8888 logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
8889 the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
8890 script). [Robert Thau]
8892 *) asis files supported (new module). [Robert Thau]
8894 *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested. (I
8895 don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]
8897 *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
8898 came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]
8900 *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]
8902 *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
8903 as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]
8905 *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
8906 the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]
8908 *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
8909 How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]
8911 *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
8912 default default type); the former default default behavior when all
8913 type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump. [Paul Sutton]
8915 *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
8916 directories. (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
8917 memory area every time). Fix is in mod_dir.c. [Paul Sutton]
8919 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]
8921 *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
8922 if the file was not found. [Cliff Skolnick].
8924 *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
8925 code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
8926 handler). [Cliff Skolnick]
8928 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2 06 Jul 1995
8930 *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
8931 games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
8932 children. Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
8933 the whole process group with them. Potential problem --- if any
8934 child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
8935 MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
8936 better than it did before this! [Robert Thau]
8938 *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
8939 work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
8940 properly terminated. [Mark Cox]
8942 *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
8943 should [Paul Sutton].
8945 *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
8946 Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]
8948 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1 04 Jul 1995
8950 *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
8951 registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
8952 tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
8953 terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
8956 *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
8957 which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
8958 registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
8959 child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->. CGI children now get
8960 started with exactly three file descriptors open. Hopefully,
8961 this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
8962 CGI connections. [Robert Thau]
8964 *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
8965 required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
8966 by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
8967 This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
8968 flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
8969 flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.
8971 This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
8972 process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
8973 on the other systems. [Robert Thau]
8975 *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]
8977 *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]
8979 *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]
8981 *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
8982 be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
8985 *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
8986 string) even if none came in with the request. [Robert Thau]
8988 *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).
8990 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5
8992 *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
8993 *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
8994 invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
8995 *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and
8996 configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
8997 "patchy server" releases) [rst]
8999 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4 30 Jun 1995
9001 *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
9002 *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]
9004 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3
9006 *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
9007 synonymous [rst, terbush]
9009 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1 28 Jun 1995
9011 *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
9012 reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
9013 *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
9014 allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
9015 be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
9016 find). Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools. [rst]
9017 *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
9018 *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
9019 *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]
9021 Changes with Shambhala 0.3 19 Jun 1995
9023 *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
9024 *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
9025 *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
9026 *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
9029 Changes with Shambhala 0.2
9031 *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
9032 *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
9033 *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures
9035 *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
9036 functions together [rst]
9037 *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
9039 *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]
9041 Changes with Shambhala 0.1 12 Jun 1995
9043 Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
9044 Robert Thau (rst). Significant portions of the server code, such
9045 as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
9046 were ripped out and rewritten from scratch. Code that was not
9047 completely rewritten was significantly altered.
9049 Major changes with this release include:
9051 *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central
9052 machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
9053 most of the work. Configuration handling is similar --- modules
9054 declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
9057 API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
9058 Apache 1.0 and 1.1. (1.0 API features not yet present in this
9059 release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
9060 subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
9063 *) This release included the following modules:
9065 mod_access (access control --- allow and deny directives),
9066 mod_alias (Alias and Redirect commands),
9067 mod_auth (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
9068 mod_auth_dbm (same, with dbm files)
9069 mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
9070 mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
9071 mod_dir (directory indexing)
9072 mod_include (server-side includes)
9073 mod_mime (AddType directives)
9074 mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
9075 mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
9077 It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
9078 for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
9080 All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
9081 or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
9082 Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
9084 *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
9085 modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
9086 serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
9087 and mod_negotiation).
9089 *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
9090 files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
9091 code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
9092 replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
9093 the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
9094 allocated with palloc().
9096 *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
9097 request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
9098 unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
9099 attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
9100 --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
9101 setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
9103 *) Source files renamed and rearranged
9105 *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
9106 fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
9108 *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
9110 This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
9111 Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
9112 codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
9114 Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
9116 *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
9117 were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
9118 worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
9119 Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
9121 Changes with Apache 0.6.4 13 May 1995
9123 *) Patches by Rob Hartill, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert Thau,
9126 Changes with Apache 0.5.1 10 Apr 1995
9128 Changes with Apache 0.4 02 Apr 1995
9130 *) Patches by Brian Behlendorf, Andrew Wilson, Robert Thau,
9133 Changes with Apache 0.3 24 Mar 1995
9135 *) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
9138 Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
9140 *) Based on NCSA httpd 1.3 by Rob McCool and patches by CERT,
9141 Roy Fielding, Robert Thau, Nicolas Pioch, David Robinson,
9142 Brian Behlendorf, Rob Hartill, and Cliff Skolnick.
