1 Changes with Apache 2.0.30-dev
2 *) Win32: The async AcceptEx() event should be autoreset upon
3 successful completion of a wait (WaitForSingleObject). This
4 eliminates a number of spurious
5 setsockopt(SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT) failed." messages.
8 *) Move any load library path environment variables out of
9 apachectl and into a separate environment variable file which
10 can be more easily tailored by the admin. The environment
11 variable file as built by Apache may have additional system-
12 specific settings. For example, on OS/390 we tailor the heap
13 settings to allow lots of threads. [Jeff Trawick]
15 *) Use the new APR pool code to reduce pool-related lock
16 contention in the worker MPM. [Sander Striker]
18 *) The POD no longer assumes the child is listening on 127.0.0.1
19 and now pulls the first hostname in the list of listeners to
20 perform the dummy connect on. This fixes a bug when the user
21 had configured the Listen directive for an IP other than
22 127.0.0.1. This would result in undead children and error
23 messages such as "Connection refused: connect to listener".
26 *) The worker MPM now respects the LockFile setting, needed to
27 avoid locking problems with NFS. [Jeff Trawick]
29 *) Fix segfault when worker MPM receives SIGHUP.
30 [Ian Holsman, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz]
32 *) Fix bug that could potentially prevent the perchild MPM from
33 working with more than one vhost/uid. [Aaron Bannert]
35 *) Change make install and apxs -i processing of DSO modules to
36 perform special handling on platforms where libtool doesn't install
37 mod_foo.so. This fixes some wonkiness on HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX
38 which prevented standard LoadModule statements from working.
41 *) Whenever mod_so is enabled (not just when there are DSOs for
42 our modules), do whatever special magic is required for compiling/
43 loading third-party modules. This allows third-party DSOs to
44 be used on an AIX build when there were no built-in modules
45 built as DSOs. (This should help on OS/390 and BeOS as well.)
48 *) Allow apxs to be used to build DSOs on AIX without requiring the
49 user to hard-code the list of import files. (This should help
50 on OS/390 and BeOS as well.) [Jeff Trawick]
52 *) Resolved segfault in mod_isapi when configuring with ISAPICacheFile.
53 PR 8563, 8919 [William Rowe]
55 *) Get binary builds working when libapr and libaprutil are built
58 *) Get shared builds of libapr and libaprutil, as well as Apache DSOs,
59 working on AIX. [Aaron Bannert, Dick Dunbar <RLDunbar@pacbell.net>,
60 Gary Hook <ghook@us.ibm.com>, Victor Orlikowski, Jeff Trawick]
62 *) Fix the handling of SSI directives in which the ">" of the
63 terminating "-->" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane]
65 *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)"
66 message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered
67 throughout our docs. [Aaron Bannert]
69 *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an
70 error in the command line args to apache. [William Rowe]
72 *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log
75 Changes with Apache 2.0.29
77 *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long
78 lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes.
79 [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom]
81 *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is
82 installed in the correct location.
83 [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu <hiramatu@boreas.dti.ne.jp> and
84 Gomez Henri <hgomez@slib.fr>]
86 *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing
87 a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set
88 the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this,
89 I added a variable to the function that builds the command line
90 in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify
91 the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom]
93 *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you
94 to flag a error while opening logs
95 [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern]
97 *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you
98 to flag a error post config
99 [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick]
101 *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is
102 hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure
103 script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter. [Aaron Bannert]
105 *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death
108 *) Add mod_deflate to experimental.
109 [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz]
111 *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified.
112 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]
114 *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is
115 configured [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
117 *) Fix apxs to use sbindir. [Henri Gomez <hgomez@slib.fr>]
119 *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts. PR #8118 [Jeff Trawick]
121 *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in
122 mod_include. [Brian Pane]
124 *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive.
125 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>, Cliff Woolley] PR#8804
127 *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed. Use the worker
128 MPM instead. [various]
130 *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id. This fixes a bug
131 in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup. [Jeff Trawick]
133 *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123.
136 *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error.
139 *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include. When we include a
140 file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request
141 immediately, instead we waited until the original request was
142 done. This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is
143 done being generated. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
145 *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to
146 define the function that should be used to accept on that
147 socket. Each MPM can define their own function to use for
148 the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro. This
149 also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling
150 logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs.
153 *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted
154 when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required
155 filters were attached to the wrong request_rec.
156 [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
158 *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define
159 directives that are used by MPMs. Prior to this patch,
160 you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike
161 the macros for any other directives. Now, the caller provides
162 the comma rather than the macro providing it. This makes
163 the macros look more like the rest of the directives.
164 [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley]
166 *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending
167 redirects under special circumstances. This is helpful for
168 Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via
169 DAV methods. [Justin Erenkrantz]
171 *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer.
172 The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec,
173 the server now lives in a context that is passed to the
174 core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very
175 careful when adding calls that use the socket directly,
176 because the socket isn't available in most locations.
179 *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded
180 when the configured value is not a multiple of the number
181 of threads per child. We said we did previously but we
182 forgot to. [Jeff Trawick]
184 *) Add Debian layout. [Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>]
186 *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available,
187 produce a fatal config-time error. [Justin Erenkrantz]
189 *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to
190 do. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
192 *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix)
193 [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
195 Changes with Apache 2.0.28
197 *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c.
198 [Dale Ghent <daleg@elemental.org>, Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
200 *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the
201 server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for
202 run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on
203 SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of
204 UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections
205 work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the
206 connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName
207 setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated
208 to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer]
210 *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in
211 the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman]
213 *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and
214 AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard
215 MPMs. [Cliff Woolley]
217 *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization
218 databases. [Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>]
220 *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk.
221 [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
223 Changes with Apache 2.0.27
225 *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template
226 (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf). [Ralf S. Engelschall]
228 *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could
229 be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests
230 from the core input filter for single lines are now limited
231 to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes). [Aaron Bannert]
233 *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header.
234 The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for
235 the port string. [Zvi Har'El <rl@math.technion.ac.il>]
237 *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result
238 in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged. Now we log the
239 error. [Jeff Trawick]
241 *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time
242 validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive.
245 *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is
246 treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error;
247 and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without
248 APR_HAS_DSO. [Aaron Bannert]
250 *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket
251 gets disconnected unexpectedly. [Cliff Woolley]
253 *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die. This removes
254 all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache.
255 [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]
257 *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in
258 mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at
259 server graceful restart, when the child process exits
260 by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child
261 process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard]
263 *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was
264 not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable
265 the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon
266 the old child starting shutdown.
269 *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that
270 IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing
271 and thus always returning "nobody."
272 [Dick Streefland <Dick.Streefland@xs4all.nl>]
274 *) Introduced thread saftey for mod_rewrite's internal cache.
275 [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
277 *) Simplified mod_env's directives to behave as most directives are
278 expected, in that UnsetEnv will not unset a SetEnv and PassEnv
279 directive following that UnsetEnv within the same container.
280 Also provides a runtime startup warning if a PassEnv configured
281 environment value is undefined. [William Rowe]
283 *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It
284 uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes,
285 and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert]
287 *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated
288 Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz]
290 *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project
293 *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This
294 is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to
295 deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick]
297 *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin
298 server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules
299 to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module
300 is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add
301 input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While
302 I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request
303 creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be
304 greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom]
306 Changes with Apache 2.0.26
308 *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded
311 *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works
312 with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
314 *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator
315 to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename
316 extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with
317 MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions
318 that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.)
319 or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even
320 if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe]
322 *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to
323 the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled
324 as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
326 *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering
327 system. [Justin Erenkrantz]
329 *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but
330 not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick]
332 *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared.
333 [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
335 *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations
336 required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes.
337 Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section
338 merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and
339 precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip
340 the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe]
342 *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other
343 WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>]
345 *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive
346 is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to
347 listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended
348 to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the
349 ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it
350 reports the port that it is listening on. This change was
351 made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port
352 directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server
353 would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command,
354 which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom]
356 *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32
357 build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe]
359 *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified,
360 then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are.
361 [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
363 *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu
364 and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions.
365 [Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106@uni-bonn.de>, Lars Eilebrecht]
367 *) Eliminate the depreciated r->content_language, in favor of the array
368 r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must
369 substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded
370 if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe]
372 *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13.
375 *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize
376 code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and
377 ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz]
379 *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family.
382 *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the
383 current SDK.) [William Rowe]
385 *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed
386 config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett]
388 *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version
389 of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be
390 relocated. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
392 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
393 of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox]
395 *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum
396 number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of
397 specifying the maximum number of child processes.
398 [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
400 *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to
401 be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz]
403 *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds.
404 [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
406 *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers.
407 [Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
409 *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
411 *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings
412 to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time.
413 [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
415 *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may
416 improve cache-hit performance under some conditions.
417 [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
419 *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that
420 support it. [Justin Erenkrantz]
422 *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction
423 pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools
424 around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the
425 queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to
426 state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated
427 segments for. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
429 *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
431 *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body.
434 *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead
435 property management. [Greg Stein]
437 *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and
438 roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable
439 ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe]
441 *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm
442 to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz]
444 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an
445 internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus
446 string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom]
448 *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes
449 now reuse previous section merges on a <Location > by <Location >
450 basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk.
453 *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made
454 us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected
455 URI, instead of the originally requested URI.
456 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
458 *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to
459 compute variables. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
461 *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should
462 log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging
463 the file size. [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
465 *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather
466 than per character. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
468 *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to
469 run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in
470 robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe]
472 *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set
473 (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
475 *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other
476 part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz]
478 *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only].
479 This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32
480 platform, which is the recommended configuration for native
481 Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for
482 cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj <tolj@wapme-systems.de>]
484 *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters
485 must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.)
486 The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent
487 container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in <Directory /web/foo>
488 will override any SetInputFilter directive in <Directory /web>.)
489 This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter
490 directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases
491 where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the
492 global configuration if the multiple directives were nested.
495 *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething
496 was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or
497 Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType,
498 but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given
499 for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html
500 without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to
501 use the default content type. [William Rowe]
503 *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache
504 code. [Graham Leggett]
506 Changes with Apache 2.0.25
508 *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so
509 that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document
510 root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection
511 into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer]
513 *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using
514 mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified
515 user attributes in a page like so:
516 Hello <!--#echo var="AUTHENTICATE_CN"-->, how are you?
519 *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create
520 transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection.
521 [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
523 *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview
524 of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does
525 not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without
526 an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with
527 an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation
528 won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is
529 requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the
530 .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html.
533 *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...]
534 and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more
535 filters by mod_mime filename extension processing.
538 *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for
539 keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick]
541 *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a
542 macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it
543 by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated
544 the code to check the return code from the macro and
545 do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder]
547 *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:.
550 *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match
551 up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
553 *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum
554 amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no
555 longer reparse all <Location > blocks when the request uri
556 hadn't changed.) [William Rowe]
558 *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the
559 ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special
560 walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example,
561 with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes
562 either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase
563 only runs against real <Directory > blocks.
566 *) Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow
567 an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed.
568 [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane]
570 *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass
571 the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE
572 shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the
573 directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c.
576 *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter
577 if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler.
578 This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier
579 to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3
580 config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP
581 to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom]
583 *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always
584 get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks
585 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>,
586 Geoff Thorpe <geoff@geoffthorpe.net>]
588 *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also
589 cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using
590 pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert <aaron@clove.org>]
592 *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock
594 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
596 *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error
597 codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the
598 include handler return code wasn't being checked.
599 I don't like macros with returns, so I converted
600 SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function.
601 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
603 *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured
604 [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
606 *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time
607 [Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>]
609 *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no
610 associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for
611 a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick]
613 *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick]
615 *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy
616 of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the
617 call to ap_log_pid solves the problem.
619 *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the
620 status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more
621 common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe]
623 *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets
624 (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error
625 messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe]
627 *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard]
629 *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap
630 configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf
633 *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
636 *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache.
637 Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds
638 not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately.
641 *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP
642 module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett]
644 *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now
645 cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up.
648 *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include
649 patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate
650 more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed.
653 *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap.
654 [Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
656 *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap.
657 [Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>, Graham Leggett]
659 *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest
660 by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not
661 met. [Justin Erenkrantz]
663 Changes with Apache 2.0.24
665 *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at
666 offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick]
668 *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is
669 reached. [Jeff Trawick]
671 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line
672 builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions.
673 Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users.
676 *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better
677 reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the
678 default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe]
680 *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm
681 compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites.
682 [Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>, William Rowe]
684 *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20.
685 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
687 *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage
688 and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe]
690 *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server
691 processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and
692 using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this
693 combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server
694 processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security
695 issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
697 *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries
698 (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe]
700 *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time.
701 [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
703 *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax
704 for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive
705 allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or
706 RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the
707 setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006,
708 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar]
710 *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c
711 are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards
712 in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU
713 make). [Jeff Trawick]
715 *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
717 *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all
718 MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This
719 should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once.
720 [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
722 *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a
723 graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor.
726 *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast
727 the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit
728 integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times.
729 [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net> and Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
731 *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you
732 told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified
733 time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time,
734 so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing
735 had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute
736 time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we
737 need to convert to usec's before using those values.
740 *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It
741 definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly.
742 The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to
743 just die. [Ryan Bloom]
745 Changes with Apache 2.0.23
747 *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various]
749 *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32.
750 [Mladen Turk <mturk@mappingsoft.com>]
752 *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for
753 messages written to the rewrite log.
754 [Richard Labennett <rlabenn@us.ibm.com>]
756 *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the
757 IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting
758 still drops the column sort <a href>'s for the column headers, but
759 IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely.
762 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2]
763 to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable
764 formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and
765 P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments
766 were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M
767 as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending.
770 *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which
771 caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes
772 to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley]
774 *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to
775 drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the <hr> elements,
776 and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies
777 FancyIndexing). [William Rowe]
779 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified
780 from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given
781 multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified
782 stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many
783 Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing
784 files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe]
786 *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst
787 and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10.
788 [William Rowe, Ken Coar]
790 *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache
791 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe]
793 *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in
794 an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized
795 the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'.
798 *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept
799 negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting
800 to an autoindex of the directory. mod_negotiation will now die
801 with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames
802 (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served. mod_negotation now
803 refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't
804 recognize, and wasn't part of the request. [William Rowe]
806 *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file
807 extension. This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin
808 wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and
809 associate .exe files with that content type. Multiviews must be
810 enabled to allow these to be served. [William Rowe]
812 *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload
813 or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes
814 when they are available. [Greg Ames]
816 *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to
817 implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a
818 fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is
819 only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom]
821 *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in
822 the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then
823 the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to
824 stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error.
827 *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands
828 and have those methods <limit>able in the httpd.conf. It uses
829 the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods
830 such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to
831 an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than
832 an int provides. [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
834 *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible
835 cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe]
837 *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with
838 help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall,
839 Madhusudan Mathihalli <madhusudan_mathihalli@hp.com>,
840 Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley]
842 *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's.
843 Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't
844 count workers in processes which aren't actively
845 serving requests. [Greg Ames]
847 *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard]
849 *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is
850 definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many
851 of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a
852 modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom]
854 *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer
855 compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0
856 Transitional specifications. [William Rowe]
858 Changes with Apache 2.0.22
860 *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or
861 segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using
862 the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames]
864 *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's
865 server version string, including loaded and advertised modules.
868 *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from
869 missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter,
870 create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and
871 fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from
872 the build environment. [William Rowe]
874 *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized
875 apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick]
877 *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption
878 when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config.
881 *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>
882 where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for
883 files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This
884 problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite
885 of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard]
887 *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after
888 restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the
889 previous generation was being left around under certain
890 conditions. [Greg Ames]
892 *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars
893 used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren.
894 [Günter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
896 *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had
897 work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and
898 #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c
899 file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing.
900 [Sander Striker <striker@apache.org>]
902 Changes with Apache 2.0.21
904 *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be
905 overwritten, regardless of the -c flag.
906 [William Rowe, Mladen Turk <mladen.turk@mail.inet.hr>]
908 *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime
909 of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows
910 its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts.
913 *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management
914 modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is
915 created, and at every restart request.
916 [Cody Sherr <csherr@covalent.net>]
918 *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and
919 added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest
920 daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also
921 updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder]
923 *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by
924 the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process
925 etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes
926 that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix,
927 these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes
928 prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting
929 connections (ie, the server would hang).
932 *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on.
935 *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after*
936 processing a connection so that a server processing a time-
937 consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the
938 parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an
939 APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long
940 time if there aren't server processes around to do accept().
941 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
943 *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime,
944 spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default
945 httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat
946 large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is
947 significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides
948 a nice speedup. [Brian Pane <bpane@pacbell.net>]
950 *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the
951 scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the
952 scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM.
953 [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie@covalent.net>]
955 Changes with Apache 2.0.20
957 *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would
958 buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes
959 down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause
960 significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated
961 lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard]
963 *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades.
966 *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache.
969 *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all
970 workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started
971 was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard]
973 Changes with Apache 2.0.19
975 *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child
976 process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server
977 was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving
978 requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to
979 die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any
980 new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact
981 that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children.
982 Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number
983 of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in
984 the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over
985 MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom]
987 *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a
988 factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32
989 and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results
990 already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe]
992 *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests
993 slightly more efficiently. [Cliff Woolley]
995 *) Fix problem handling FLUSH bucket in the chunked encoding filter.
996 Module was calling ap_rwrite() followed by ap_rflush() but the
997 served content was not being displayed in the browser. Inspection
998 of the output stream revealed that the first data chunk was
999 missing the trailing CRLF required by the RFC. [Bill Stoddard]
1001 *) apxs no longer generates ap_send_http_header() in the example handler
1003 *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception
1004 with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/).
1005 [Ian Holsman <ianh@cnet.com>]
1007 *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated
1008 filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing
1009 the document to serve. [William Rowe]
1011 *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in
1012 limit. We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which
1013 led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations.
1016 *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include. The
1017 default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and
1018 MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically
1019 live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames]
1021 *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions
1022 on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field.
1023 Example: SetEnvIf ^TS* [a-z].* HAVE_TS
1024 will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins
1025 with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the
1026 set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard]
1028 *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on
1029 multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0.
1030 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1032 *) Fix htdigest. It would go into a loop in getline when adding
1033 a second user. [Bill Stoddard]
1035 *) Win32 platforms now fully support mod_userdir options. [Will Rowe]
1037 *) Automatically generate httpd.exp for AIX.
1038 DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0
1039 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
1041 *) Add a new request hook, error_log. This phase allows modules
1042 to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written
1043 to the error log. The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring
1044 modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent.
1047 *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output.
1048 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
1050 *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header
1051 add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally
1052 add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly:
1054 SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader
1055 Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader
1057 If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header
1058 MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response.
1061 *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header
1062 add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported:
1064 %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the
1065 request was received.
1067 %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was
1068 received and the response sent.
1071 Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t"
1073 results in a header being added to the response that looks like this:
1075 MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256
1079 *) Fix reset_filter(). We need to be careful how we remove filters.
1080 If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the
1081 connection's filters. [John Sterling]
1083 *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein]
1085 *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and
1086 contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes
1087 a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling]
1089 *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will
1090 cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be
1091 echoed to (included in) the response headers.
1094 *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H.
1095 This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h. PR #7773
1096 [Oleg Broytmann <phd@phd.pp.ru>]
1098 *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library. This required a bunch of
1099 apr_name changes for the uri utility functions. [Justin Erenkrantz]
1101 *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the
1102 insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default.
1105 *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now
1106 add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive
1107 and to responses using the same old Header directive. [Graham Leggett]
1109 Changes with Apache 2.0.18
1111 *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified
1112 Apache will exit. [Jeff Trawick]
1114 *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the
1115 Apache-owned source trees. [Roy Fielding]
1117 *) Fix processing of the TRACE method. Previously we passed bogus
1118 parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures,
1119 resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias().
1120 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1122 *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process
1123 goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has
1124 been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases.
1127 *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file
1128 preflight. This change also circumvents a problem on
1129 Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight
1130 was not getting cleaned up properly.
1133 *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info
1136 *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in
1137 preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted
1138 design notes. [Paul J. Reder]
1140 *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr
1141 and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line
1142 (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were
1143 formerly abusing as LTFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
1145 *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags.
1146 [Barrie Slaymaker <barries@slaysys.com>]
1148 *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR
1149 and moving hints.m4 inline. [Roy Fielding]
1151 *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types
1152 of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL
1153 [Ian Holsman <IanH@cnet.com>]
1155 *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a
1156 request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to
1157 the cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
1159 *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged
1160 as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0.
1163 *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows
1166 *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the
1167 connection pool. This solves a small resource leak that had us
1168 not closing files until a connection was closed. In order to do
1169 this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the
1170 brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket
1171 that we know will survive clearing the request_rec.
1172 [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>,
1175 *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
1176 variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
1177 the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user
1178 to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
1179 need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting
1180 of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to
1181 avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given
1182 on the compile and link lines. Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA,
1183 AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE.
1184 Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros.
1185 Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T. [Roy Fielding]
1187 *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows. PR #7612
1188 [Bernhard Schrenk <b.schrenk@improx.com>]
1190 *) Fix shutdown/restart hangs in the threaded MPM.
1191 [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom]
1193 *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only
1194 used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable.
1195 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding]
1197 *) Patch prefork to put enough of the signal processing back in so that
1198 signals are all handled properly now. The previous patch fixed the
1199 deadlock race condition, but broke the user directed signal handling.
1200 This fixes it to work the way it did before my previous prefork patch
1201 (primarily, SIGTERM is now working).
1203 *) Change how input filters decide how much data is returned to the
1204 higher filter. We used to use a field in the conn_rec, with this
1205 change, we use an argument to ap_get_brigade to determine how much
1206 data is retrieved. [Ryan Bloom]
1208 *) Fix seg fault at start-up introduced by Ryan's change to enable
1209 modules to specify their own logging tags. mod_log_config
1210 registers an optional function, ap_register_log_handler().
1211 ap_register_log_handler() was being called by http_core before
1212 the directive hash table was created. This patch creates the
1213 directive hash table before ap_register_log_handler() is
1214 registered as an optional function.
1215 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]
1217 *) Add ap_set_int_slot() function
1218 [John K. Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
1220 *) Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the
1221 right response headers when requiring authentication.
1222 [Gertjan van Wingerde <Gertjan.van.Wingerde@cmg.nl>] PR#7114
1223 (This is a port of the change that went into Apache 1.3.19.)
1225 *) Allow modules to specify their own logging tags. This basically
1226 allows a module to tell mod_log_config that when %x is encountered
1227 a specific function should be called. Currently, x can be any single
1228 character. It may be more useful to make this a string at some point.
1231 Changes with Apache 2.0.17
1233 *) If a higher-level filter handles the the byterange aspects of a
1234 request, then the byterange filter should not try to redo the
1235 work. The most common case of this happening, is a byterange
1236 request going through the proxy, and the origin server handles
1237 the byterange request. The proxy should ignore it.
1238 [Graham Leggett <minfrin@sharp.fm>]
1240 *) Changed the threaded mpm to have child_main join to each of the
1241 worker threads to make sure the kids are all gone before child_main
1242 exits after a signal (cleanup from perform_idle_server_maintenance).
1243 This is an extension of Ryans recent commit to make the child_main
1246 *) Add more options to the ap_mpm_query function. This also allows MPMs to
1247 report if their threads are dynamic or static. Finally, this also
1248 implements a new API, ap_show_mpm, which returns the MPM that was
1249 required into the core. [Harrie Hazewinkel <harrie@covalent.net>]
1251 *) Do not install the binaries from the support directory twice.
1252 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun@iijlab.net>]
1254 *) The ap_f* functions should flush data to the filter that is passed
1255 in, not the the filter after the one passed in.
1256 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
1258 *) Make ab work again by changing its native types to apr types and formats.
1259 [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>]
1261 *) Move the byterange filter and all of the supporting functions back
1262 to the HTTP module. The byterange filter turned out to be very
1263 HTTP specific, and it belongs in the HTTP module. [Greg Stein]
1265 *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
1266 Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@ebuilt.com>]
1268 *) Fix errors in the renaming of the apr_threadattr_detach_xxx functions.
1269 This may have been causing problems stopping processes in the threaded
1272 *) Fix content-length in mod_negotiation to a long int representation.
1275 *) Remove BindAddress from the default config file.
1276 [giles@nemeton.com.au]
1278 *) Allow module authors to add a module to their Apache build using
1279 --with-module, without re-running buildconf. The syntax is:
1280 --with-module=module_type:/path/to/module.c
1281 The configure script will copy the module.c file to
1282 modules/module_type, and it will be added to the relevant Makefiles.
1283 currently, this only works for static modules. [Ryan Bloom]
1285 *) Changes required to make prefork clean up idle children properly.
1286 There was a window during which a starting worker deadlocks when
1287 an idle cleanup arrives before it completes init. Apache then keeps
1288 trying to cleanup the same deadlocked worker forever (until higher
1289 pids come along, but it still will never reduce below the deadlocked
1290 pid). Thus the number of children would not reduce to the correct
1291 idle level. [Paul J. Reder]
1293 Changes with Apache 2.0.16
1295 *) Change the default installation directory to /usr/local/apache2,
1296 as now defined by the "Apache" layout in config.layout. [Marc Slemko]
1298 *) OS/2: Added support for building loadable modules as OS/2 DLLs.
1301 *) Get MaxRequestsPerChild working with the Windows MPM.
1304 *) Make generic hooks to work, with mod_generic_hook_import/export
1305 experimental modules. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe]
1307 *) Fix segfaults for configuration file syntax errors such as
1308 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directory" and
1309 "<Directory>" followed by "</Directoryz>". [Jeff Trawick]
1311 *) Cleanup the --enable-layout option of configure. This makes
1312 us use a consistent location for the config.layout file, and it
1313 makes configure more portable.
1314 [jun-ichiro hagino <itojun@iijlab.net>]
1316 *) Changes to 'ab'; fixed int overrun's, added statistics, output in
1317 csv/gnuplot format, rudimentary ssl support and various other tweaks
1318 to make results more true to what is measured. The upshot of this it
1319 turns out that 'ab' has often underreported the true performance of
1320 apache. Often by a order of magnitude :-) See talk/paper of Sander
1321 Temme <sctemme@covalent.net> at April ApacheCon 2001 for details.
1322 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
1324 *) Clean up mod_cgid's temporary request pool. Besides fixing a
1325 storage leak this ensures that some unnecessary pipes are closed.
1328 *) Performance: Add quick_handler hook. This hook is called at the
1329 very beginning of the request processing before location_walk,
1330 translate_name, etc. This hook is useful for URI keyed content
1331 caches like Mike Abbott's Quick Shortcut Cache.
1334 *) top_module global variable renamed to ap_top_module [Perl]
1336 *) Move ap_set_last_modified to the core. This is a potentially
1337 controversial change, because this is kind of HTTP specific. However
1338 many protocols should be able to take advantage of this kind of
1339 information. I expect that headers will need one more layer of
1340 indirection for multi-protocol work, but this is a small step in
1341 the right direction. [Ryan Bloom]
1343 *) Enable mod_status by default. This matches what Apache 1.3 does.
1346 *) Add a ScriptSock directive to the default config file. This is
1347 only enabled when mod_cgid is used.
1348 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
1350 Changes with Apache 2.0.15
1352 *) Untangled the buildconf script and eliminated the need for build's
1353 aclocal.m4, generated_lists, build.mk, build2.mk, and a host of other
1354 libtool muck that is now under srclib/apr/build. [Roy Fielding]
1356 *) Win32: Don't accept more connections than we have worker threads
1360 *) Fix bug in the Unix threaded.c MPM that allowed child processes
1361 to fork() new child processes.
1364 *) Fix a major security problem with double-reverse lookup checking.
1365 Previously, a client connecting over IPv4 would not be matched
1366 properly when the server had an IPv6 listening socket. PR #7407
1367 [Taketo Kabe <kiabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
1369 *) Change the way the beos MPM handles polling to allow it to stop and
1370 restart. Problem was the sockets being polled were being reset by
1371 the select call, so once it had accepted a connection it was no
1372 longer listening on the UDP socket we use for shutdown instructions.
1373 APR needs to be altered, patch on it's way. [David Reid]
1375 *) Empty out the brigade shared by ap_getline()/ap_get_client_block()
1376 on error exit from ap_getline(). Some other code got upset because
1377 the wrong data was in the brigade. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1379 *) Handle ap_discard_request_body() being called more than once.
1380 [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1382 *) Get rid of an inadvertent close of file descriptor 2 in
1383 mod_mime_magic. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
1385 *) Add a hook, create_request. This hook allows modules to modify
1386 a request while it is being created. This hook is called for all
1387 request_rec's, main request, sub request, and internal redirect.
1388 When this hook is called, the the r->main, r->prev, r->next
1389 pointers have been set, so modules can determine what kind of
1390 request this is. [Ryan Bloom]
1392 *) Cleanup the build process a bit more. The Apache configure
1393 script no longer creates its own helper scripts, it just
1395 [jean-frederic clere <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>]
1397 *) Stop the forced downgrade of the connection to HTTP/1.0 for
1398 proxy requests. [Graham Leggett]
1400 *) Avoid using sscanf to determine the HTTP protocol number in
1401 the common case because sscanf is a performance hog. From
1402 Mike Abbot's Accelerating Apache patch number 6.
1403 [Mike Abbot <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com>, Bill Stoddard]
1405 *) Fix a security exposure in mod_access. Previously when IPv6
1406 listening sockets were used, allow/deny-from-IPv4-address rules
1407 were not evaluated properly (PR #7407). Also, add the ability to
1408 specify IPv6 address strings with optional prefix length on Allow
1409 and Deny. [Jeff Trawick]
1411 *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and
1412 the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). (Brought
1413 forward from 1.3.) [Ken Coar]
1415 *) Reimplement the Windows MPM (mpm_winnt.c) to eliminate calling
1416 DuplicateHandle on an IOCompletionPort (a practice which
1417 MS "discourages"). The new model does not rely on associating
1418 the completion port with the listening sockets, thus the
1419 completion port can be completely managed within the child
1420 process. A dedicated thread accepts connections off the network,
1421 then calls PostQueuedCompletionStatus() to wake up worker
1422 threads blocked on the completion port.
1425 *) Bring forward the --suexec-umask option which allows the
1426 builder to preset the umask for suexec processes. [Ken Coar]
1428 *) Add a -V flag to suexec, which causes it to display the
1429 compile-time settings with which it was built. (Only
1430 usable by root or the AP_HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar]
1432 *) Mod_include should always unset the content-length if the file is
1433 going to be passed through send_parsed_content. There is no to
1434 determine if the content will change before actually scanning the
1435 entire content. It is far safer to just remove the C-L as long
1436 as we are scanning it. [Ryan Bloom]
1438 *) Make sure Apache sends WWW-Authenticate during a reverse proxy
1439 request and not Proxy-Authenticate.
1440 [Graham Leggett <minfrin@sharp.fm>]
1442 Changes with Apache 2.0.14
1444 *) Fix content-length computation. We ONLY compute a content-length if
1445 We are not in a 1.1 request and we cannot chunk, and this is a keepalive
1446 or we already have all the data. [Ryan Bloom]
1448 *) Report unbounded containers in the config file. Previously, a typo
1449 in the </container> directive could result in the rest of the config
1450 file being silently ignored, with undesired defaults used.
1453 *) Make the old_write filter use the ap_f* functions for the buffering.
1456 *) Move more code from the http module into the core server. This
1457 is core code, basically the default handler, the default input
1458 and output filters, and all of the core configuration directives.
1459 All of this code is required in order for the server to work, with or
1460 without HTTP. The server is closer to working without the HTTP
1461 module, although there is still more to do. [Ryan Bloom]
1463 *) Fix a number of SGI compile warnings throughout the server. Fix some
1464 bad parameters to apr_bucket_read(). Fix a bad statement in
1465 ap_method_in_list(). For the mod_rewrite cache use apr_time_t
1466 consistently; we were mixing apr_time_t and time_t in invalid ways
1467 before. In load_file(), call apr_dso_error() instead of
1468 apr_strerror() so that we get a more specific string on some platforms.
1469 PR #6980 [Jeff Trawick]
1471 *) Allow modules to query the MPM about it's execution profile. This
1472 query API can and should be extended in the future, but for now,
1473 max_daemons, and threading or forking is a very good start.
1474 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net>]
1476 *) Modify mod_include to send blocks of data no larger than 9k.
1477 Without this, mod_include will wait until the whole file is parsed,
1478 or the first tag is found to send any data to the client.
1479 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1481 *) Fix mod_info, so that <Directory> and <Location> directives are
1482 not displayed twice when displaying the current configuration.
1483 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
1485 *) Add config directives to override DEFAULT_ERROR_MSG and
1486 DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT. This was sent in as PR 6193.
1487 [Dan Rench <drench@xnet.com>]
1489 *) Get mod_info building and loading on Win32. [William Rowe]
1491 *) Begin to move protocol independant functions out of mod_http. The goal
1492 is to have only functions that are HTTP specific in the http directory.
1495 Changes with Apache 2.0.13
1497 *) Don't assume that there will always be multiple calls to the byterange
1498 filter. It is possible that we will need to do byteranges with only
1499 one call to the filter. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
1501 *) Move the error_bucket definition from the http module to the
1502 core server. Every protocol will need this ability, not just
1505 Changes with Apache 2.0.12
1507 *) Modify mod_file_cache to save pre-formatted strings for
1508 content-length and last-modified headers for performance.
1509 [Mike Abbot <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com>]
1511 *) Namespace protect IOBUFSIZ since it is exposed in the API.
1512 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net>]
1514 *) Use "Basic" authentication instead of "basic" in ab, as the spec
1515 says we should. [Andre Breiler <andre.breiler@rd.bbc.co.uk>]
1517 *) Fix a seg fault in mod_userdir.c. We used to use the pw structure
1518 without ever filling it out. This fixes PR 7271.
1519 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp> and
1520 Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
1522 *) Add a couple of GCC attribute tags to printf style functions.
1523 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net>]
1525 *) Add the correct language tag for interoperation with the Taiwanese
1526 versions of MSIE and Netscape. [Clive Lin <clive@CirX.ORG>] PR#7142
1528 *) Migrate the perchild MPM to use the new apr signal child, and
1529 APR thread functions. [Ryan Bloom]
1531 *) Close one copy of the CGI's stdout before creating the new process.
1532 The CGI will still have stdout, because we have already dup'ed it.
1533 This keeps Apache from waiting forever to send the results of a CGI
1534 process that has forked a long-lived child process.
1535 [Taketo Kabe <kabe@sra-tohoku.co.jp>]
1537 *) Remove the rest of the pthreads functions from the threaded MPM.
1538 This requires the APR support for a signal thread that was just
1541 *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser.
1542 Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much
1543 sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would
1544 either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the
1545 current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
1547 *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads.
1550 *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases.
1553 *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and
1554 "most". [Greg Stein]
1556 *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks.
1559 *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the
1560 fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and
1561 it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything.
1564 *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches
1565 the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation
1566 process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames).
1569 *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter
1570 is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom]
1572 Changes with Apache 2.0.11
1574 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the
1575 added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no
1576 uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter.
1579 *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom]
1581 *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM.
1582 If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add
1583 --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom]
1585 *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so
1586 that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself.
1589 *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been
1590 installed to the system include files.
1591 [Gomez Henri <new-httpd@slib.fr>]
1593 *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need
1594 to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but
1595 configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom]
1597 *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is
1598 vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build
1601 *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this
1602 on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want
1603 to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
1605 *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a
1606 request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard]
1608 *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and
1609 SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set
1610 directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives
1611 tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom]
1613 *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_*
1614 functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute
1615 the length of the headers before we actually create the header
1616 buffer. [Ryan Bloom]
1618 *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have
1619 become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*.
1622 *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going
1623 to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to
1624 kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be
1625 static. [Ryan Bloom]
1627 *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not
1628 possible to compile some modules outside of the server.
1631 *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch
1632 forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex
1633 aliases. [Ryan Bloom]
1635 *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary
1636 hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If
1637 we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back
1638 up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send
1639 the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request,
1640 to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already
1641 received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than
1642 the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This
1643 fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data
1644 with that request. [Ryan Bloom]
1646 *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and
1647 thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom]
1649 *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This
1650 should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to
1651 create CGI processes.
1652 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1654 *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket
1655 call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been
1656 reset. [Jeff Trawick]
1658 *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h.
1659 This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release
1660 system. [Ryan Bloom]
1662 *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in
1663 the ability to use IPC other than shared memory.
1664 Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard]
1666 *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork,
1667 mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom]

1675 find a fully-qualified domain name at startup.
1676 PR#7170 [Danek Duvall <dduvall@eng.sun.com>]
1678 *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom]
1680 *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some
1681 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now
1682 resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS
1683 volumes. [William Rowe]
1685 *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the
1686 behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported
1687 as USER_NAME="<unknown>" rather than the old user#000 result.
1688 WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe]
1690 *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new
1691 Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe]
1693 *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the
1694 environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure
1695 options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces.
1698 *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like
1699 "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return
1700 a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big
1701 byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom]
1703 *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the
1704 bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these
1705 buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will
1706 just be ignored. [Greg Stein]
1708 *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart
1709 signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child
1710 process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If
1711 we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning
1712 up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom]
1714 *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful
1715 restarts. [Ryan Bloom]
1717 *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use
1718 the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from
1719 performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups
1720 and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields
1721 are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe]
1723 *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by
1724 optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending
1725 on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port
1726 for sample code. [Ben Laurie]
1728 *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done
1729 by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket.
1730 This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and
1731 a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed
1732 to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this
1733 bucket, and output the error text, and then return
1734 AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page
1735 has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom]
1737 *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for
1738 those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where
1739 error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though
1740 that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom]
1742 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
1743 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
1745 *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition
1746 and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy
1747 code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable.
1750 *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these
1751 directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled
1752 in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because
1753 we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order.
1756 *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of
1757 targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the
1758 configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is
1759 specifically run. [Ryan Bloom]
1761 *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts
1762 the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by
1763 parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe]
1765 *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code
1766 expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error.
1767 Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we
1768 follow the link. [William Rowe]
1770 *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to
1771 mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms,
1772 so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom]
1774 *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe,
1775 and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom]
1777 *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the
1778 current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail.
1781 *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or
1782 pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames]
1784 *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know
1785 for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0.
1786 This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0
1787 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
1789 *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite,
1790 i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of
1791 more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch]
1793 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing
1794 Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin <alexeyt@wam.umd.edu>]
1796 *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting
1797 and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly.
1800 *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter().
1801 This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with
1802 requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick]
1804 *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via
1805 hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also,
1806 add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and
1807 NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but
1808 not used during the configuration process. Useful for
1809 flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski]
1811 *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or
1812 no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to
1813 specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH.
1814 [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom]
1816 *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie]
1818 *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and
1819 apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the
1820 actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again.
1823 *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being
1824 traced. [Jeff Trawick]
1826 *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data.
1829 *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie]
1831 *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
1833 *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter
1834 program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick]
1836 *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an
1837 object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE
1838 was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would
1839 create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap()
1840 silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but
1841 ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick]
1843 *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem
1844 is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and
1845 we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the
1846 browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom]
1848 *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec
1849 because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't
1850 always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf
1853 *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct
1854 order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4,
1855 and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build
1856 process. [Ryan Bloom]
1858 *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process.
1859 This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process,
1860 thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do
1861 not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least
1862 it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom]
1864 *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line.
1867 *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
1868 the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
1870 *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
1871 need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files
1872 such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]
1874 *) Get the support programs building cleanly again.
1875 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
1877 *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The
1878 current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the
1879 server root from the Apache.exe path.
1881 *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so
1882 loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the
1883 makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories.
1885 *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6,
1886 Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the
1887 Listen, NameVirtualHost, and <VirtualHost> directives support IPv6
1888 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080").
1891 *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in
1892 modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but
1893 we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories
1894 are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom]
1896 *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom]
1898 *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of
1899 which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack
1900 for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the
1901 necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC
1902 was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make
1903 the scripts a bit easier.
1906 *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout
1907 on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick]
1909 *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and
1910 be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects
1911 that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules
1912 didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly.
1915 *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer
1916 available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick]
1918 *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
1920 *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts
1921 after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom]
1923 *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a
1924 content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to
1925 have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we
1926 can compute the content-length in the byterange filter.
1929 *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows.
1932 *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way
1933 they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been
1934 called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when
1935 the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool.
1938 Changes with Apache 2.0a9
1940 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users
1941 to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@
1942 and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories.
1945 *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with
1946 functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily.
1947 The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function
1948 combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include
1949 parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a
1950 hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes
1951 all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then
1952 responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back
1953 to mod_include for further processing.
1954 [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1956 *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has
1957 fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed
1958 from the parameter list because all required information is available
1959 via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick]
1961 *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a
1962 normal source distribution with external install targets.
1965 *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create
1966 two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation.
1967 the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required
1968 for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one
1969 variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations,
1970 so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based
1971 on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment.
1972 It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two
1973 shmem memory blocks.
1976 *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of
1977 functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure
1978 time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file.
1979 Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those
1980 functions that are valid on the platform we are building on.
1983 *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config
1984 [Sander van Zoest <sander@covalent.net>]
1986 *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration.
1989 *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not
1990 specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR).
1991 The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM
1992 files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases.
1995 *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that
1996 uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly.
1997 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
1999 *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when
2000 making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the
2001 output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore
2002 skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom]
2004 *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the
2005 format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in
2006 the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be
2007 used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with
2008 the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format
2009 of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick]
2011 *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the
2012 rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this
2013 condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
2015 *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter.
2018 Changes with Apache 2.0a8
2020 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with
2024 *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info
2025 field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file.
2028 *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers
2029 down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request
2030 record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready
2034 *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code,
2035 but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP)
2039 *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler.
2042 *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options.
2043 [B. W. Fitzpatrick <fitz@red-bean.com>]
2045 *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname.
2046 Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing
2047 hostname resolution/address string parsing and building
2048 apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address
2049 of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change
2050 apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick]
2052 *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but
2053 I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon.
2056 *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we
2057 aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom]
2059 *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head
2060 request. [Ryan Bloom]
2062 *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias
2063 with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch]
2065 *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom]
2067 *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests.
2068 The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before
2069 we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we
2070 should send it in the HEAD response.
2073 *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based
2074 on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay
2075 deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the
2076 content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache
2077 our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute
2078 the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and
2079 everything will just work.
2082 *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available.
2083 [Markus Gyger <mgyger@itr.ch>]
2085 *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this
2086 change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules
2088 [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan@covalent.net>]
2090 *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly.
2091 This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times
2092 for a simple static request.
2095 *) We are sending the content-type correctly now.
2096 [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe]
2098 *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report
2099 a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers
2100 and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick]
2102 *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the
2103 hints file to determine which platforms define
2104 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
2107 *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick]
2109 *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko]
2111 *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache
2112 used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate,
2113 but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will
2114 as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid
2115 value on all platforms.
2116 [Branko Èibej <brane@xbc.nu>]
2118 *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824.
2119 [Shuichi Kitaguchi <ki@hh.iij4u.or.jp>]
2121 *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support
2122 iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch]
2124 *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes
2125 sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the
2126 default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs.
2129 *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain
2130 in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well.
2133 *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This
2134 has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could
2135 doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches
2136 the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes
2137 a content-length in the response, and this does not.
2140 *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate
2141 on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make
2142 any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes,
2143 so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written.
2146 *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not.
2147 The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report
2148 the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies
2149 content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing
2150 code in mod_log_config.c
2153 *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what
2154 it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since
2155 neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was
2156 really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better
2157 by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH
2158 buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data
2159 read, so they make more sense.
2162 *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a
2163 request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it
2164 makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request
2165 responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap
2166 buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This
2167 allows the mmap to outlive the request.
2170 *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for
2171 sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should
2172 have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should
2173 ALWAYS be able to return something immediately.
2176 *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the
2177 server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart
2178 instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling]
2180 *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on
2181 the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe]
2183 *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in
2184 such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r".
2187 *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0:
2188 CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol.
2191 *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
2192 status at the end of the response as follows:
2193 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed.
2194 '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server.
2195 '-' - connection will be closed by the server.
2198 *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded
2199 Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type
2200 from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the the feature
2201 macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe]
2203 *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for
2204 the response when no content length is available and we can't use
2205 chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick]
2207 *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK,
2208 so that content input filters get dechunked data when using
2209 the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS.
2212 *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows
2213 the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently,
2214 only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick]
2216 *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol
2217 data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick]
2219 *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of
2220 the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this
2221 type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef
2222 CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick]
2224 *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will
2225 send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside
2226 buckets that include partial buckets.
2227 [Ryan Bloom and David Reid]
2229 *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula]
2231 *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using
2232 BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it
2233 doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on.
2236 *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to
2237 the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that
2238 actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need
2239 for the BUFF to send headers.
2242 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of
2243 request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest()
2244 since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated)
2245 response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at
2246 all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.)
2249 *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter
2250 (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter.
2253 *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as
2254 of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp@home.net>,
2257 *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h
2260 *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering.
2263 *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at
2264 least now we can serve an SHTML page again.
2267 *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer
2268 to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that
2269 want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket,
2270 can. They point to the same place.
2273 *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld.
2274 [Tomas "Ögren" <stric@ing.umu.se>]
2276 *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the
2277 associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this
2278 logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs.
2281 *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was
2282 no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning
2283 APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by
2284 making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets.
2285 If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we
2286 return the buf, otherwise we return NULL.
2289 *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series.
2292 *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix:
2293 rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded
2294 so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc.
2295 PR #6671 [Tony Finch]
2297 *) Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a
2298 security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations
2299 that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files
2300 on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch]
2302 *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out
2303 of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then
2304 the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the
2308 *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters
2309 should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way
2310 to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket,
2311 that's life, but at least we can try with this.
2314 *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the
2315 EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output
2316 filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub
2317 requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished.
2320 *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also
2321 makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it
2322 used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its
2323 return value anyway.
2324 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]
2326 *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets
2327 structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the
2328 bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type.
2331 *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols
2332 for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper)
2333 and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE.
2334 All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear.
2337 *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename
2338 parsing of <Directory> blocks under Win32 and OS2.
2339 [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
2341 *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been
2342 replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket
2343 types and use then use those buckets.
2346 *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write)
2347 once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process;
2348 otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies
2349 worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large
2350 ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick]
2352 *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type.
2353 This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off
2354 the data pointer in the ap_bucket type.
2357 *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data
2358 to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive
2359 number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and
2360 let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line
2361 only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data.
2363 Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows
2364 us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which
2368 *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter
2369 understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is
2370 based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers,
2371 and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are
2372 in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining
2373 bytes. It can return less, but never more.
2374 [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick]
2376 *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what
2377 the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick]
2379 *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters
2380 ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection
2381 go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the
2385 *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial
2386 send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to
2387 get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial
2388 writes to the network.
2391 *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again
2392 [Victor J. Orlikowski <v.j.orlikowski@gte.net>]
2394 *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored
2395 if there are no headers to send.
2398 *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core
2399 filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary
2400 compiled on Windows NT.
2403 Changes with Apache 2.0a7
2405 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades
2406 across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be
2407 sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE
2408 thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received.
2411 *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes
2412 into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the
2413 chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current
2414 implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the
2415 chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that
2416 containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The
2417 buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket.
2420 *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter.
2423 *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter.
2426 *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS
2427 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
2429 *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't
2430 make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now.
2433 *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that
2434 do not have sendfile.
2435 [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard]
2437 *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so
2438 that it works again. [Ryan Bloom]
2440 *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile().
2443 *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support.
2446 *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands
2447 the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The
2448 goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing
2449 the data back to the other filters.
2452 *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation
2455 *) install apxs if it is created
2458 *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error
2459 conversions. [William Rowe]
2461 *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to
2462 ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick]
2464 *) Multiple build and configuration fixes
2467 -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions
2469 -fix logfilename misspelling
2470 -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and
2471 -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile
2475 -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for
2476 $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing
2477 -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib
2478 -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's
2479 -cache result for "struct rlimit"
2480 -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler
2481 and use the native version to generate header file
2482 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu@gmx.de>]
2484 *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross-
2486 ["Rüdiger" Kuhlmann <Tadu@gmx.de>]
2488 *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header
2489 lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
2490 message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input
2492 [William Rowe, Greg Ames]
2494 *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even
2495 if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a
2496 requirement for APXS to work correctly.
2499 *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the
2500 conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the
2501 output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the
2502 post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an
2503 error page before we have a filter to write to the network.
2504 [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames]
2506 *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An
2507 mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with
2508 byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of
2509 the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket.
2512 *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi.
2515 *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32.
2516 Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support
2517 for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB),
2518 and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and
2519 prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still
2520 discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and
2521 async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are
2522 logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls.
2525 *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input
2526 filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest
2527 difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade
2528 should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is
2529 different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in,
2530 and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call
2531 ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input
2532 is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this
2533 function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade.
2534 The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return.
2537 *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system
2538 falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform.
2541 *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5,
2542 SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a
2543 bit more flexible. [William Rowe]
2545 *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content
2546 translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores
2547 subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for
2548 translating request and response bodies was removed.
2551 *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request
2552 hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in
2553 multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much
2554 simpler. [Ryan Bloom]
2556 *) Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of
2557 mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that
2558 contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences
2559 $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to
2560 access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch]
2562 *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing
2563 don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because
2564 the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames]
2566 *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid.
2567 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
2569 *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2)
2570 as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds.
2571 update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment.
2572 Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from
2573 parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the
2574 seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support.
2577 *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32.
2580 *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An
2581 uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config().
2584 *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for
2585 in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly
2586 find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source
2587 with no problems. [David Reid]
2589 *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying
2590 the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong
2591 location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and
2592 also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would
2593 sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick]
2595 *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence
2596 like this in the config file
2598 <IfModule mod_kilroy.c>
2601 <IfModule mod_lovejoy.c>
2606 the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to
2607 sediment in the buffer from reading the prior </IfModule> and an
2608 error message would be generated for the real </IfModule> for the
2609 second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters
2610 could be used for "</" in the close of a container.
2613 *) ap_add_filter prototype changed to remove the ctx pointer. The
2614 pointer still remains in the filter structure, but it can not be
2615 a part of the ap_add_filter prototype. The reason is that when
2616 the core uses AddFilter to add a filter to the stack it doesn't
2617 know how to allocate the ctx pointer, or even how much memory should
2618 be allocated. The filters will have to be responsible for allocating
2619 the ctx memory when they need it.
2622 *) Add an AddFilter directive. This directive takes a list of filters
2623 that should be activated for the requested resource.
2626 *) apr_snprintf(): Get quad format strings working on OS/390 (and perhaps
2627 some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
2629 *) Modify mod_include to be a filter. Currently, it has only been tested
2630 on actual files, but it should work for CGI scripts too.
2633 *) apr_putc(), apr_puts() for Unix: handle buffered files and interrupted
2634 writes. apr_flush() for Unix: handle interrupted writes.
2637 *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of
2638 an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based
2639 virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in
2640 the configuration file and which ignores the local address
2641 of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch]
2643 *) Fix some compile warnings in mod_mmap_static.c
2644 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
2646 *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that
2647 the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an
2648 EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it
2649 encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we
2650 finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one
2651 EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec.
2654 *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix
2655 and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via
2656 apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick]
2658 *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe
2659 bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*.
2662 *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable.
2663 [Mike Abbott <mja@sgi.com>]
2665 *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache
2666 code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs.
2669 *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c
2670 [John K. Sterling <sterling@covalent.net>]
2672 *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive.
2673 PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@imgsrc.co.jp>]
2675 *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test
2676 explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit()
2677 is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support
2678 the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski]
2680 *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific
2681 platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain)
2682 all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski]
2684 *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary
2687 *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR.
2690 *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite.
2693 *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom]
2695 *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that
2696 they can be more directly used when changing the type of a
2697 bucket in place. [Tony Finch]
2699 *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by
2700 buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change
2701 the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of
2702 buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets.
2703 Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be
2704 mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented.
2707 Changes with Apache 2.0a6
2709 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames]
2711 *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer
2712 to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom]
2714 *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter
2715 added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom]
2717 *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The
2718 docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom]
2720 *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades,
2721 Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that
2722 should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the
2723 core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group]
2725 *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't
2726 built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick]
2728 *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's
2729 no layout definition file. [Ken Coar]
2731 *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar]
2733 *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header
2734 field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the
2735 list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar]
2737 *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file().
2738 [Rob Simonson <simo@us.ibm.com>]
2740 *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke
2741 APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick]
2743 *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the
2744 configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container,
2745 only the last statement in the container would be retained.
2748 Changes with Apache 2.0a5
2750 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child
2751 processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I
2752 have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had
2753 different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses.
2754 This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket.
2757 *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages.
2758 It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we
2759 are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix
2760 Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom]
2762 *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix.
2763 #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat
2766 *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always
2767 return the right information on the local socket address.
2768 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
2770 *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error.
2771 [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
2773 *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without
2774 going into single process mode. This allows for much easier
2775 debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom]
2777 *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function.
2780 *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the
2781 scoreboard on graceful restarts.
2784 *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c.
2785 An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process().
2788 *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still
2789 never called, but this is a step in the right direction.
2790 [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein]
2792 *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is
2793 killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets
2794 SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the
2795 process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and
2796 mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
2798 *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time
2799 in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format.
2800 Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time
2801 uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP
2802 spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes
2803 the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom]
2805 *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error
2806 code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls@level8.com>]
2808 *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet]
2810 *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in
2811 logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles
2812 not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe]
2814 *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create
2815 apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom]
2817 *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure
2818 to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a
2819 related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using
2820 fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock()
2821 implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock()
2822 was essentially a no-op because all children were using different
2823 locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick]
2825 *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into
2826 a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on
2827 end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar]
2829 *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This
2830 adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional
2831 XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein]
2833 *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes
2836 *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from
2837 the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein]
2839 *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR
2840 configure.in. [Dave Hill <ddhill@zk3.dec.com>]
2842 *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for
2843 machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile.
2844 [Dave Hill <ddhill@zk3.dec.com>]
2846 *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
2848 *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the
2849 desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving
2850 ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski]
2852 *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate
2853 with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without
2854 timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to
2855 a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with
2856 Unix non-blocking pipes.
2859 *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to
2860 cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables
2861 Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at
2862 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps
2863 and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system).
2866 *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache
2867 supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as
2868 mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive
2869 to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems
2870 that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today
2871 on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix.
2874 *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the
2875 configuration process automatically:
2876 inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing
2877 APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl
2879 Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid,
2880 based on the threading model
2882 Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's
2883 configuration processing, allowing for more information flow
2888 *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK
2889 with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and
2890 OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick]
2892 *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write
2893 operations work a whole lot better on buffered files.
2896 *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change
2897 compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads).
2900 *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps
2901 reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is
2902 now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated.
2903 ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick]
2905 *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
2906 can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified
2907 domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
2908 the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the
2909 ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe]
2911 *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault
2912 at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to
2913 be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick]
2915 *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding]
2917 *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX
2918 [Victor J. Orlikowski]
2920 *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h,
2921 apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h.
2922 [Tyler J. Brooks <tylerjbrooks@home.com>, Jeff Trawick]
2924 *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working
2925 state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on
2928 *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in
2929 maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise
2930 unions. [Ben Laurie]
2932 *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to
2933 repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered
2934 ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick]
2936 *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly
2937 in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker.
2940 *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error:
2941 "</container> without matching <container> section", where
2942 container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever.
2945 *) Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when using
2946 mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root
2947 and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi
2948 as reported in <news:960999105.344321@ernani.logica.co.uk>
2951 *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE)
2954 *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the
2955 final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles
2956 incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick]
2958 *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure
2959 that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and
2960 such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet]
2962 *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting
2963 up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket.
2966 *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches
2967 to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes)
2968 instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick]
2970 *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex.
2971 It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now
2972 displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the
2973 symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick]
2975 *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence.
2976 The previous check required features not used by Apache.
2979 *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were
2980 sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not
2981 initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed
2982 accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call
2983 if the len was negative. Use <sys/un.h> for struct sockaddr_un
2984 instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem
2985 on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick]
2987 *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom]
2989 *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick]
2991 *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames]
2993 *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at
2994 initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom
2995 otherwise. [Jeff Trawick]
2997 *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash
2998 doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does.
2999 Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator =="
3002 *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM.
3003 All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is
3004 now wrapped within the WinNT MPM.
3007 *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some
3008 getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls.
3009 CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick]
3011 *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change
3012 to allow just the product name in the server string using
3016 Changes with Apache 2.0a4
3018 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers
3019 won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
3021 *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config
3022 tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks
3023 and know that they will be called at an appropriate time.
3026 *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again.
3029 *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules.
3032 *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have
3033 ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file.
3036 *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config
3037 files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick]
3039 *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t-
3040 related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem
3041 is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful
3042 restarts. [Ronald Tschalär]
3044 *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling.
3045 Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there
3046 would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure
3047 procedure. [Jeff Trawick]
3049 *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog
3050 isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via
3051 ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer
3052 to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick]
3054 *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines.
3057 *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or
3058 global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it
3059 to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency.
3062 *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD()
3063 and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals.
3066 *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers.
3067 [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser <KEIJSERJJ@logica.com>]
3069 *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation.
3072 *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record
3073 on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar]
3075 *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the
3079 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not
3080 a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick]
3082 *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that
3083 the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet.
3086 *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int
3087 instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding]
3089 *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a
3090 structure rather than the pid within the structure.
3091 [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding]
3093 *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in
3094 err_response; support reading headers up to 2K.
3095 [Ask Bjoern Hansen <ask@valueclick.com>]
3097 *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior
3098 alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
3099 config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite.
3100 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3102 *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames]
3104 *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use
3105 APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables
3106 in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick]
3108 *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing.
3111 *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically
3112 if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is
3113 read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This
3114 should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the
3115 server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives
3116 that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should
3117 be made in the pre-config step.
3120 *) Add mod_example to the build system.
3123 *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single-
3124 byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick]
3126 *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin
3127 Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log).
3130 *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the
3131 IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string
3132 properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the
3133 would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a
3134 properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick]
3136 *) apxs works in 2.0.
3139 *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0.
3142 *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for
3143 replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache.
3146 *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems
3147 generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a
3148 buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam
3149 is defined). [Ken Coar]
3151 *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure
3152 options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options]
3155 *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of
3156 these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/
3157 WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick]
3159 *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0
3162 *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR.
3165 *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are
3169 *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken.
3170 Patch submitted to author.
3173 *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require
3174 /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously)
3177 *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD
3178 [Sascha Schumann] PR#26
3180 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in
3181 struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only
3182 affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during
3183 pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at
3184 least). [Jeff Trawick]
3186 *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix
3188 [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39
3190 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems
3191 like OS/390 and UnixWare.
3194 *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms.
3197 *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror()
3198 (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in
3199 the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit
3200 out the correct error message for it.
3203 Changes with Apache 2.0a3
3205 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails
3208 *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix
3211 *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock.
3212 [Tim Costello <timcostello@ozemail.com.au>]
3214 *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes.
3215 [Chia-liang Kao <clkao@CirX.ORG>]
3217 *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using
3221 *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built
3224 *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow
3225 developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also
3226 changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name.
3229 *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames
3230 containing version numbers. [Martin Pool]
3232 *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on
3233 Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non-
3234 Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick]
3236 *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h.
3237 Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE.
3238 [William Rowe, Roy Fielding]
3240 *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows
3241 build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it
3242 actually works. [Bill Stoddard]
3244 *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and
3245 Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file
3246 os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent
3247 dll relocation at start-up).
3248 [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard]
3250 *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most
3251 of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros.
3252 [Greg Ames <gregames@us.ibm.com>]
3254 *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different
3255 character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv().
3258 *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.
3259 [Joshua Slive <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
3261 *) CGI output is being timed out now.
3264 *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which
3265 is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file
3266 with the same lifetime as the original file.
3269 *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying
3270 module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults
3271 in the field. [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3273 *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document
3274 describing how to compile Apache on Windows.
3275 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3277 *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take
3278 microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other
3279 minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick]
3281 *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0
3282 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3284 *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0
3285 quick change summary:
3286 - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR
3287 - now uses ap_time_t
3288 - compiles and runs on linux
3290 [Brian Martin <bmartin@penguincomputing.com>]
3292 *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names
3293 fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an
3294 unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the
3295 CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started
3297 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3299 *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may
3300 not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This
3301 is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls
3302 to non portable functions should be protected with
3303 ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults.
3304 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3306 *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer]
3308 *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick]
3310 *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT.
3311 This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway
3312 CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard]
3314 *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly
3315 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3317 *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to
3318 always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the
3319 OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx
3322 The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to
3323 handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for
3324 Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then
3325 we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c.
3326 [Tim Costello <Tim.Costello@BTFinancialgroup.com>]
3328 *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT
3329 [Allan Edwards <ake@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3331 *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support
3332 Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and
3333 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it.
3334 [Brian Martin <bmartin@penguincomputing.com>]
3336 *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform
3338 [Tim.Costello@BTFinancialgroup.com]
3340 *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions.
3343 *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site.
3344 [Joshua Slive <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca>]
3346 *) Move Windows DSO code into APR.
3349 *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause).
3350 Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw
3351 at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because
3352 of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next.
3353 [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard]
3355 *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines.
3356 [Jon Travis <jtravis@covalent.net>]
3358 *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the
3359 corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the
3360 proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick]
3362 Changes with Apache 2.0a2
3364 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other
3368 *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few
3369 small things it had problems with due to the way it setup
3370 users and groups. [David Reid]
3372 *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks
3373 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3375 *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine
3376 is called on BeOS. [David Reid]
3378 *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file.
3379 When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may
3380 no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults.
3381 [Allan Edwards <ake@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3383 *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed
3384 if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski]
3386 *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl
3387 locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages.
3390 *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work
3391 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3393 *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows
3394 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>]
3396 *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the
3397 interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick]
3399 *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it
3400 up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred
3404 *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses
3405 now logged correctly on BeOS.
3408 *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98).
3409 Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old
3411 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>, Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
3413 *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command
3414 shell path resolution.
3415 [William Rowe <wrowe@lnd.com>] PR#3715
3417 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition
3419 [Allen Prescott <allen@clanprescott.com>]
3421 *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific
3422 flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary
3424 [Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
3426 *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3)
3427 which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed'
3428 confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect
3429 rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to
3430 explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common
3431 ones to the example config [dirkx]
3433 *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call
3434 configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc.
3437 *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12,
3438 including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski]
3440 *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the
3441 config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited
3442 it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar
3443 expands to something with spaces you have to protect it
3444 by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it
3445 to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you
3446 can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people
3447 usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this
3448 hampers fancier hacks.
3449 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
3451 *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer
3452 supports the asymetric
3454 ErrorDocument 301 "Some message
3456 Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now
3457 has either the following syntaxes
3459 ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri
3460 ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url
3461 ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message"
3463 The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it
3464 is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a /
3465 or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it
3466 is assumed to be a message.
3468 This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell
3469 of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers.
3470 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
3472 *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present
3473 syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the
3474 only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an
3475 absolute pain for any config interface automation. This
3476 breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
3478 *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is
3479 done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added
3480 as static modules at this point.
3483 Changes with Apache 2.0a1
3485 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump.
3486 Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before
3487 create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure
3488 to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until
3489 ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight
3490 rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier...
3491 [Jeff Trawick <trawick@us.ibm.com>]
3493 *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API
3494 [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder]
3496 *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O
3500 *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent.
3501 Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec.
3502 Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs
3503 passed in and number of bytes written.
3506 *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file()
3507 with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that
3508 the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open().
3511 *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0
3512 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard]
3514 *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification --
3515 bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus
3516 some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the
3517 errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to
3518 chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0.
3521 *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool.
3522 [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann]
3524 *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3526 *) More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security problems
3527 with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite
3528 or mod_vhost_alias).
3529 [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch]
3531 *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in <Directory> containers.
3532 [Manoj Kasichainula]
3534 *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error
3535 message without any of the date and time information. As a part
3536 of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr
3537 and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP
3538 writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct
3539 stderr to the error log on all platforms.
3542 *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument.
3543 This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's
3544 don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid
3545 message on all of our platforms.
3548 *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now.
3549 [Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3551 *) sendfile has been added to APR.
3552 [John Zedlewski <zedlwski@Princeton.EDU>]
3554 *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno.
3555 [Manoj Kasichainula]
3557 *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and
3558 interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer]
3560 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0
3561 [Dilip Khandekar <dilip@cup.hp.com>]
3563 *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11
3564 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3566 *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR
3567 automatically for developers from src/Configure.
3568 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3570 *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c
3571 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3573 *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot
3574 to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3)
3577 *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding]
3579 *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to
3580 incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom]
3582 *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check
3583 for a wildcard handler. [Dirk <dirkm@teleport.com>, Roy Fielding]
3584 PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807
3586 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and
3587 allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via
3588 ``--with-option=<section1>,<section2>,...''
3589 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3591 *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding]
3593 Changes with Apache MPM
3595 *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and
3596 dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000.
3599 *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c
3602 *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility
3603 (per default used the config.option file).
3604 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3606 *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid <abb37@dial.pipex.com>]
3608 *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe.
3609 Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and
3610 implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will
3611 be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the
3612 calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis.
3615 *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own
3616 subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection
3617 of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski]
3619 *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as
3620 mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula]
3622 *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common
3623 amongst the unix MPMs.
3625 *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the
3626 signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet]
3628 *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out
3629 of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet]
3631 *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie]
3633 *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server
3634 based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie]
3636 *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure.
3637 ["Michael H. Voase" <mvoase@midcoast.com.au>]
3639 *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
3641 *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various
3642 changes to the module API... better described by
3643 docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet]
3645 Changes with Apache pthreads
3647 *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for
3648 buff operations (generally over a network).
3649 [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula]
3651 *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported):
3652 init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(),
3653 stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard]
3655 *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly.
3656 [James Morris <jmorris@intercode.com.au>]
3658 *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to
3659 request_rec. [Ryan Bloom]
3661 *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't
3662 needed in a threaded server.
3664 *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code.
3665 [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom]
3668 Changes with Apache 1.3.9
3670 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location.
3671 Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message
3672 was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding]
3674 *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is
3675 explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules.
3678 *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more
3679 than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so".
3682 *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found.
3683 Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32.
3684 Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c
3685 and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär]
3687 *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable,
3688 just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer]
3690 *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script
3691 in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled
3692 correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias).
3693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3695 *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of
3696 an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file
3697 is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush]
3699 *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the
3700 problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script
3701 output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard]
3703 *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_
3704 routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no
3705 pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting
3706 like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode().
3707 The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for
3708 now but deprecated. [dirkx]
3710 *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are
3711 represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp
3712 files. [Roy Fielding]
3714 *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error
3715 checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush]
3717 *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch]
3719 *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly
3720 assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not
3721 exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer]
3723 *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to
3724 src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush]
3726 *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage().
3727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3729 *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be
3730 searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs
3731 some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer]
3733 *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the
3734 module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the
3735 usual conventions for the installation procedure).
3736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3738 *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb)
3739 for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer]
3741 *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG
3742 types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf'
3743 by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer]
3745 Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released]
3747 *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect
3748 response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a
3749 long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests.
3750 [Tom Vaughan <tvaughan@aventail.com>, Roy Fielding]
3752 *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx.
3753 [Ian Turner <iant@sequent.com>] PR#4735
3755 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure
3756 name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735
3758 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest.
3759 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald@innovation.ch>]
3761 *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed
3762 up across restarts. [David Harris <dharris@drh.net>]
3764 *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled
3765 properly in mod_access.
3766 ["Paul J. Reder" <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#4770
3768 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts.
3769 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>] PR#3874
3771 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com.
3772 [Michael Ottati <michael.ottati@compaq.com>, dirkx]
3774 *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from
3775 Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information.
3776 Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general
3777 ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a
3778 couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64()
3779 function; hence renamed to ap_to64().
3780 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>]
3782 *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal
3783 with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query.
3784 [David McCreedy <McCreedy@us.ibm.com>]
3786 *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform.
3787 Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book"
3788 we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
3790 *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included
3791 a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not
3792 NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding]
3794 Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released]
3796 *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before
3797 the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields
3798 are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or
3799 "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to
3800 single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary
3801 one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary
3802 at all). PR#3118 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
3804 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid abb37@dial.pipex.com]
3806 *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at
3807 least on Linux and FreeBSD for now.
3810 *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored
3811 immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost.
3812 This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket()
3813 call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then
3814 the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets
3815 are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue
3817 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3819 *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue"
3820 and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to
3821 discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection.
3822 [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton <jeo101@york.ac.uk>] PR#4499, PR#3806
3824 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of
3825 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski]
3827 *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_*
3828 built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't
3829 install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix
3830 editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not
3831 create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be
3832 used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
3834 *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with
3835 ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to
3836 WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs.
3837 Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up
3838 Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/)
3839 [Bill Stoddard stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com]
3841 *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the
3842 error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32
3843 behave more like Unix.
3844 [Bill Stoddard stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com]
3846 *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing.
3847 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614
3849 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found.
3850 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562
3852 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with
3853 "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!"
3854 [Brian Havard] PR#4505
3856 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms.
3857 [Randy Terbush <randy@covalent.net>]
3859 *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and
3860 used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>]
3862 *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc'
3863 command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3865 *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX
3866 [Rasmus Lerdorf <rasmus@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3868 *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache
3869 first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to
3870 see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error
3871 message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot
3872 does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If
3873 the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration)
3874 the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command
3875 line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the
3876 DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration.
3879 *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the
3880 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
3881 [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4]
3883 *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart.
3884 Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's
3885 listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this
3886 could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately.
3887 All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in
3888 the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by
3889 MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged.
3890 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3892 *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in
3893 the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up
3894 parent/child process management code.
3895 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
3897 *) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files.
3898 [John Giannandrea <jg@meer.net>] PR#4122
3900 *) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which
3901 has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528
3902 [Henri Gomez <gomez@slib.fr>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3904 *) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already
3905 use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3907 *) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:.
3910 *) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well
3911 as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar]
3913 *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file
3914 content-types are "text/html;parameters". PR#4524 [Ken Coar]
3916 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature
3917 never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS
3918 attacks. [Koen Holtman <Koen.Holtman@cern.ch>]
3920 *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the
3921 results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski]
3923 *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically,
3924 the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and
3925 *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf()
3926 provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available,
3927 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski]
3929 *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the
3930 size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters
3931 (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions
3932 to the man page. [Ken Coar]
3934 *) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in
3935 an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko]
3937 *) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured
3938 during configuration after a restart.
3939 [Aidan Cully <aidan@panix.com>] PR#4456
3941 *) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather
3942 than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and
3943 the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both
3944 tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message
3945 if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar]
3947 *) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy
3948 of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein]
3950 *) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function
3951 ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex
3952 library. [Jens-Uwe Mager <jum@helios.de>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3954 *) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that
3955 environment variables can be set according to the protocol version
3956 (e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar]
3958 *) Add DSO support for OpenStep (Mach 4.2) platform.
3959 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Rex Dieter <rdieter@math.unl.edu>] PR#3997
3961 *) Fix sed regex for generating ap_config_auto.h in src/Configure.
3962 [Jan Gallo <gallo@pvt.sk>] PR#3690, PR#4373
3964 *) Switch to /bin/sh5 in APACI on Ultrix and friends to avoid problems with
3965 their brain-dead /bin/sh. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4372
3967 *) Better DSO flags recognition on NetBSD platforms using ELF.
3968 [Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>] PR#4310
3970 *) Always log months in english format for %t in mod_log_config.
3971 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>] PR#4366, 679
3973 *) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and
3974 HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on
3975 "/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req*

4206 a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard]
4208 *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as
4209 a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the
4210 ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type.
4211 This allows for special configurations like
4212 <Directory proxy:ftp://some.host>
4213 DefaultType gargle/blurb
4215 Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies
4216 when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive).
4217 Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed
4218 files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator).
4219 The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not
4220 much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do.
4223 *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID
4224 for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize
4225 the permissions on the proxycachedir.
4226 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4228 *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first

4260 *) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown
4261 methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821
4263 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available
4264 to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar]
4266 *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of
4267 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced
4268 incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now
4269 work correctly on EBCDIC platforms.
4270 [Ronald Tschalär <ronald@innovation.ch>] PR#3411
4272 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before
4273 the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system
4274 DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration
4275 directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton]
4276 PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988

4285 have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel
4286 version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531

4299 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros
4300 for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet]
4302 *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs
4303 because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global
4304 Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger
4305 third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban <Peter.Urban@epfl.ch>] PR#3977
4307 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the

4331 *) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init().
4332 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4334 *) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout.
4337 *) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order
4338 to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
4340 *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if
4341 the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4343 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines
4344 (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now
4345 correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted.
4346 Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the
4347 analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding]
4349 *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and
4350 DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality.
4351 Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well.
4352 Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions
4353 instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented
4354 the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed.
4355 The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps
4357 [Michael van Elst <mlelstv@serpens.swb.de>, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160
4359 *) Added ap_sub_req_method_uri() for doing a subrequest with a method
4360 other than GET, and const'd the definition of method in request_rec.
4363 *) Use proper pid_t type for saving PIDs in alloc.c. [John Bley]
4365 *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate
4366 when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard]
4368 *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the
4369 UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of
4370 %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at>]
4372 *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce
4373 more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at>]
4375 *) Fixed a few compiler nits. [John Bley <jbb6@acpub.duke.edu>]
4377 *) Added informative error messages for failed munmap() and fseek() calls
4378 in http_core.c. [John Bley, Roy Fielding]
4380 *) Added some informative error messages for some failed malloc()
4381 calls. [John Bley <jbb6@acpub.duke.edu>, Jim Jagielski]
4383 *) OS/2 ap_os_canonical_filename()'s behaviour is improved: ap_assert()
4384 is removed. This allows <Directory proxy:*> directives to work and
4385 prevents invalid requests from killing the process.
4386 [Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au>]
4388 *) Reorganised FAQ document.
4389 [Joshua Slive <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca>] PR#2497

4392 David N. Welton: you can now have it generate an HTML TABLE, presumably
4393 for integration into other HTML sources. David updated the ab man page
4394 as well and added some missing descriptions. Thanks!
4395 [David N. Welton <davidw@prosa.it>]
4397 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows filenames containing
4398 characters in the range 0x80 to 0xff (for example accented characters).
4399 [Paul Sutton] PR#3890
4401 *) Added conditional logging based upon environment variables to
4402 mod_log_config. mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent
4403 are now deprecated. [Ken Coar]
4405 *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real
4406 reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal
4407 server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism
4408 can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to"
4409 note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed.
4410 [Cliff Skolnick, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455, 4086
4412 *) Moved man pages for ab and apachectrl to section 8.
4413 [Wilfredo Sanchez, Roy Fielding]
4415 *) Added -S option to install.sh so that options can be passed to
4416 strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez]
4418 *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles
4419 the test case of no modules being selected. [chaz@reliant.com]
4421 *) Added a <LimitExcept method ...> sectioning directive that allows
4422 the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that
4423 is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation
4424 of the <Limit> directive. This is particularly useful for controlling
4425 access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by
4426 some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch]
4428 *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but
4429 does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is
4430 being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
4432 *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen]
4434 *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being
4435 performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also,
4436 strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases.
4437 [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657
4439 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors.
4442 *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans"
4443 even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding]
4445 *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item()
4446 to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next
4447 list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments,
4448 quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes
4449 insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens.
4450 [Roy Fielding] PR#2065
4452 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status
4453 code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return
4454 "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455
4456 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional
4457 negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants
4458 and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy <treacy@debian.org>] PR#3299, 3688
4460 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places,
4461 unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places
4462 to get the right result. [Roy Fielding]
4464 *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when
4465 negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too
4466 (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1
4467 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in
4468 some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman]
4470 *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index
4471 file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found.
4472 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer]
4474 *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable
4475 searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters.
4478 *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now
4479 error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf.
4482 *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now
4483 displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log.
4484 Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is
4485 going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton]
4487 *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm,
4488 and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as
4489 being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password
4490 checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar]
4492 *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses
4493 access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such
4494 as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769.
4496 *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will

4500 *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to
4501 ap_compat.h. [David White <david@persimmon.com>] PR#3725
4503 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e.

4518 signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler.
4519 [Doug Yatcilla <yatcilda@umdnj.edu>] PR#3681
4521 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first)
4522 and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'.
4523 [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671
4525 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been
4526 implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional
4527 hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]'
4528 to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both
4529 sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen
4530 because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell
4531 prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :)
4534 *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as
4535 well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is
4536 printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski]
4538 *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral
4539 and this makes its functions available to things in src/support.
4542 Changes with Apache 1.3.4
4544 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection
4545 and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err,
4546 mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding]
4548 *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the
4549 vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions.
4552 *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and
4553 filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its
4554 presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename
4555 for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar]
4557 *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32
4558 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names.
4559 [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat]
4561 *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build)
4562 and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95.
4563 Run each of the following from the src directory:
4564 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build
4565 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs
4566 nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk
4567 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build
4568 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install
4569 nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean
4572 *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us
4573 to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht]
4575 *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making
4576 the column headers anchors; you could still change the display
4577 order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the
4578 URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so
4579 it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar]
4581 *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order
4582 for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699
4584 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms.
4585 [Richard Prinz <richard.prinz@cso.net>] PR#2575
4587 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't
4588 search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case
4589 for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>] PR#2462
4591 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_
4592 compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into
4593 Apache per default. [Sim Harbert <sim@mindspring.com>] PR#3572
4595 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a
4596 backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete
4597 context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur
4598 because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default.
4599 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590
4601 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by
4602 making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they
4603 depend on other libraries).
4604 [Markus Theissinger <markus.theissinger@gmx.de>]
4606 *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a
4607 recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c
4608 in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of
4609 module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527
4611 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to
4612 allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't
4613 an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current
4614 Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152
4616 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also
4617 supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to
4618 match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like
4619 `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions
4620 `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape
4621 to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in
4622 combination with map lookups).
4623 [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4625 *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was
4626 forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process.
4627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4629 *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only
4630 user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and
4631 `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of
4632 (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4634 *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the
4635 module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This
4636 has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski]
4638 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2.
4639 - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding.
4640 - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in
4641 the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list.
4642 - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted
4643 encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not
4644 included within Accept-Encoding.
4645 - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation
4646 of large substring sequences.
4647 - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat.
4650 *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1.
4651 - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure
4652 - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added
4653 support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1
4654 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt).
4655 - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2
4657 - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are
4658 processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all
4659 values acceptable instead of unacceptable.
4660 - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding
4661 - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and
4662 rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts,
4663 e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version.
4664 - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness
4665 (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary
4666 will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server
4668 - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec
4669 - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API
4670 - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm
4671 to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type
4672 - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that
4673 negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors
4674 - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map
4675 file as its best variant

4686 *) Correct some filename case assumptions from WIN32 to
4687 CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au>]
4689 *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName
4690 setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet]
4692 *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL
4693 rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile).
4694 This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and
4695 the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer]
4697 *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret
4698 #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a
4699 standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #!
4700 Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer]
4702 *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg <stagg@lentil.org>]
4705 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing
4706 and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson <mda@discerning.com>] PR#3553
4708 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show
4709 the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid
4710 command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and
4711 instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives.
4712 So we now changed the command line options this way:
4714 Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is
4715 very similar to the popular linker option.
4717 Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the
4718 large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also
4719 consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info).
4721 Intent: it's now the expected option ;-)
4722 The manual page was adjusted accordingly.
4723 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2714
4725 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC
4726 wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk <rickf@transpect.net>]
4728 *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI:
4729 o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not
4730 initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args
4731 \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments
4732 containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct
4733 "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit
4734 argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use.
4735 o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating
4736 redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing
4737 loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the
4738 `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in
4739 case --with-layout is not used.
4740 o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists.
4741 Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in
4742 config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the
4743 four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is
4744 no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/<target>' where <target> is
4745 the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'.
4746 o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces
4747 o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style
4748 o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-)
4749 o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns
4750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4752 *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and
4753 ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module
4754 after loading. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4756 *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
4757 SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT to NetBSD/OpenBSD section
4758 of ap_config.h to allow serialized accept for multiport listens.
4759 [Roy Fielding, Curt Sampson] PR#3120
4761 *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section
4762 of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP
4763 was overridden. [Roy Fielding]
4765 *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and
4766 strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247
4768 *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is
4769 defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko]
4771 *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0).
4772 [Tom Serkowski <tks@bsdi.com>] PR#3453
4774 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to
4775 differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of
4776 another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even
4777 just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too).
4778 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380
4780 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated
4781 since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible
4782 when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options).
4783 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240
4785 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first
4786 creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build
4787 shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted
4788 Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache
4789 from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is
4790 provided through the TOP variable, too.

4794 generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary
4795 in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton]

4798 unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can
4799 accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded
4801 [Paul Ausbeck <paula@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>, Paul Sutton] PR#3447

4804 and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage.
4805 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4807 *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command.
4808 They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS
4809 IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4811 *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup
4812 procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated.
4813 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4815 *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout
4816 identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file
4817 config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the
4818 argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE.
4820 The config.layout file consists of <Layout ID>..</Layout> sections
4821 where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be
4822 specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'.
4824 *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language
4825 extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other
4826 default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in <Directory> and
4827 <Files> containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton]
4830 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using
4831 APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration
4832 file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports
4833 the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined
4834 with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure.

4974 *) Fix Berkeley-DB/2.x support in mod_auth_db: The data structures were not
4975 initialized correctly and the db_open() call used an invalid mode
4976 parameter. [Ron Klatchko <ron@ckm.ucsf.edu>] PR#3171
4978 *) PORT: DSO support for UnixWare 7
4979 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Ron Record <rr@sco.com>]
4981 *) Merge the contents of the {srm,access}.conf-dist* files into the
4982 httpd.conf-dist* files. The srm and access files now contain
4983 only comments, and httpd.conf has all the combined contents in
4984 a rational order. [Ken Coar]
4986 *) PORT: DSO/ELF support for FreeBSD 3.0.
4987 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dirk Froemberg <ibex@physik.TU-Berlin.DE>]
4989 *) Add a "default-handler" handler that calls the default_hander()
4990 function which is normally called for static content. This allows
4991 you to override a specific handler. [Marc Slemko]
4993 *) Further simplify checking for absolute paths by replacing an
4994 hard-coded syntax check with a call to a routine we already created to
4995 do this. [Ken Parzygnat <kparz@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2976, 3074
4997 *) Log an error if we encounter a malformed "require" directive
4998 in mod_auth if we know that we know that no other module can
4999 deal with it. [Marc Slemko]
5001 *) Remove ap_private_extern method of hiding conflicting symbols
5002 on the NEXT platform because it is not correct for all versions,
5003 and the versions for which it is correct are unknown.
5004 [Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@apple.com>]
5006 *) Fix inheritance of IndexOptions NameWidth and remove unintended
5007 restriction on +NameWidth, +IconHeight, and +IconWidth. [Ken Coar]

5010 is encountered in an .htaccess file somewhere down the tree.
5013 *) Minor performance improvement to ap_escape_html(). [Roy Fielding]
5015 *) Fixed a segmentation violation in mod_proxy when a response is
5016 non-cachable. [Roy Fielding, traced by Doug Bloebaum]. PR#2950, 3056
5018 Changes with Apache 1.3.3
5020 *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as
5021 specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue
5022 response when we already know the final status, which is mighty
5023 useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding]
5025 *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part
5026 of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works
5027 between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case
5028 of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding]
5030 *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the
5031 revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and
5032 HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the
5033 WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any
5034 of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules.
5037 *) Fix a possible race condition between timed-out requests and the
5038 ap_bhalfduplex select that might result in an infinite loop on
5039 platforms that do not validate the descriptor. [Roy Fielding]
5041 *) WIN32: Add "-k shutdown" and "-k restart" options to signal a
5042 running Apache server [Paul Sutton]
5044 *) Fix mod_autoindex bug where directories got a size of "0k" instead
5045 of "-". [Martin Plechsmid <plechsmi@karlin.mff.cuni.cz>, Marc Slemko]
5048 *) PORT: DRS 6000 machine. [Paul Debleecker <pdebleecker@jetair.be>]
5050 *) Add the server signature text (from the core ServerSignature directive)
5051 to the list of envariables available to scripts, SSI, and the like.
5054 *) PORT: Fix sys/resource.h handling for SCO 3.x platform.
5055 [M. Laak <maert@proinv.ee>] PR#3108
5057 *) Fallback from sysconf-based to plain HZ-based `ticks per second'
5058 calculation in mod_status for all systems which don't have POSIX
5059 sysconf() (like UTS 2.1) and not only for the NEXT platform.
5060 [Dave Dykstra <dwd@bell-labs.com>] PR#3055
5062 *) Fix `require ...' directive parsing in mod_auth, mod_auth_dbm and
5063 mod_auth_db by using ap_getword_white() (which uses ap_isspace())
5064 instead of ap_getword(..., ' ') (which parses only according to spaces
5065 but not tabs). [James Morris <jmorris@intercode.com.au>,

5068 *) Fix the SERVER_NAME variable under sub-request situations (where
5069 `UseCanonicalName off' is used) like CGI's called from SSI pages or

5092 working directory to fill in some blanks. [Ken Parzygnat
5093 <kparz@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#3001
5095 *) Correct invalid assumption by ap_sub_req_lookup_file() that all

5097 [Ken Parzygnat <kparz@raleigh.ibm.com>] PR#2976, 3074
5099 *) Add [REDIRECT_]VARIANTS environment variable to mod_speling
5100 so that ErrorDocument 300 processors can reformat the list
5101 if desired. [Ken Coar] PR#2859
5103 *) Add +/- incremental prefixes to IndexOptions keywords, and
5104 enable merging of multiple IndexOptions directives. [Ken Coar]
5106 *) PORT: Allow GuessOS to recognize Unixware 7.0.1 [Steve Cameron
5107 <steve.cameron@compaq.com>]
5109 *) Reconstructed the loop through multiple htaccess file names so
5110 that missing files are not confused with unreadable files.
5113 *) The ap_pfopen and ap_pfdopen routines were failing to protect the
5114 errno on an error, which leads to one error being mistaken for
5115 another when reading non-existent .htaccess files.
5118 *) OS/2: The new header tests get things right, need to update
5119 ap_config.h. [Brian Havard]
5121 *) The Perl %ENV hash will now be setup by default when using the
5122 mod_include `perl' command [Doug MacEachern]

5133 *) Avoid possible line overflow in Configure: Use an awkfile to
5134 handle the creation of modules.c [Jim Jagielski]
5136 Changes with Apache 1.3.2
5138 *) Fix bug in ap_remove_module(), which caused problems for dso's
5139 who were the top_module. [Doug MacEachern]
5141 *) Add support for Berkeley-DB/2.x (in addition to Berkeley-DB/1.x) to
5142 mod_auth_db to both be friendly to users who wants to use this version
5143 and to avoid problems under platforms where only version 2.x is present.
5144 [Dan Jacobowitz <drow@false.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5146 *) When using ap_log_rerror(), make the error message available to the
5147 *ERROR_NOTES envariables by default. [Ken Coar]
5149 *) BS2000 platform only: get rid of the nasty BS2000AuthFile.
5150 You now must define a BS2000Account name for the server User.
5151 This has fewer security implications than the old approach.
5154 *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX platform: We now use extension `.sl'
5155 instead of `.so' and `SHLIB_PATH' instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on this
5156 platform to make the braindead HPUX linker happy. Notice, for the module
5157 DSOs we don't have to use this, because these are loaded manually (and
5158 not via HPUX' dld). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2905, PR#2968
5160 *) Remove 64 thread limit on Win32.
5161 [Bill Stoddard <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com>]
5163 *) Remove redundant substitutions in top-level Makefile.tmpl.
5164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5166 *) Fix APACI's `Group' configuration adjustment - especially for Linux
5167 platforms where `nogroup' exists in /etc/group. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5169 *) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version
5170 strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard]
5172 *) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C
5173 pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to
5174 determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way
5175 we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible
5176 portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP
5177 configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar
5178 approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has
5179 the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration.
5180 As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the
5181 existance of the file under /usr/include, too.
5182 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2777
5184 *) PORT: Added RHAPSODY (Mac OS X Server) support. MAP_TMPFILE defined
5185 as an alternate mechanism for mmap'd shared memory for RHAPSODY.
5186 ap_private_extern defined to hide symbols that conflict with loaded
5187 dynamic libraries on the NEXT and RHAPSODY platforms.

5202 *) Fix possible buffer overflow situation in suexec.c.
5203 [Jeff Stewart <jws@purdue.edu>] PR#2790
5205 *) Add some more LIBS for the SCO5 platform which are needed for the already
5206 used -lprot. It's actually a bug in SCO5, of course.
5207 [Ronald Record <rr@sco.com>] PR#2533
5209 *) Fix documentation of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse according to the
5210 trailing slash problem. [Jon Drukman <jsd@gamespot.com>] PR#2933
5212 *) Remove `-msym' option from LDFLAGS_SHLIB for the Digital UNIX (OSF/1)
5213 platform, because it's only supported under version 4.0 and higher. But
5214 because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the
5215 -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and
5216 best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969
5218 *) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf()
5219 functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing
5220 "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting
5221 (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the
5222 real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941
5224 *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config
5225 files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727
5227 *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to
5228 port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT
5229 directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a
5230 CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer]
5232 *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file
5233 on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to
5234 any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only
5235 case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of
5236 content is if you are using a modification date based setting.
5237 [Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips <paulp@go2net.com>]
5239 *) Problems encountered during .htaccess parsing or CGI execution
5240 that lead to a "500 Server Error" condition now provide explanatory
5241 text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts.
5244 *) Add NameWidth keyword to IndexOptions directive so that the
5245 width of the filename column is customisable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
5248 *) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under
5249 SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho <drc@ppt.com>]
5251 *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be
5252 a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache
5253 proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log
5254 the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914
5256 *) The <IfModule and <IfDefine block starting directives now only
5257 allow exactly one argument. Previously, the optional negation
5258 character '!' could be separated by whitespace without a syntax
5259 error being reported, albeit defeating the IfModule functionality
5260 (enclosed directives would ALWAYS be executed). By using the
5261 stricter syntax, these hard-to-track errors can be avoided.
5264 *) Simplify handling of IndexOptions in mod_autoindex -- and BTW
5265 cause the standalone FancyIndexing directive to logically OR
5266 into any existing IndexOptions settings rather than wiping
5267 them out. [Ken Coar]
5269 *) Changes in ftp proxy: make URL parsing simpler by using the
5271 + Add display of the "current directory" in cases where it's
5272 different from the supplied path (e.g., ftp://user@host/ lives
5273 in /home/user, not in /, therefore clicking on "../" in the
5274 starting directory might send us to /home/).
5275 + When ftp login fails, (esp. when a user name was part of the
5276 URL already), we now return [401 Unauthorized ] to allow the
5277 browser to pop up an authorization dialog. This makes passwords
5278 slightly less visible (they don't appear in the regular log files)
5279 and implements a functionality that other www proxy servers
5283 *) Triggered by the recent "Via:" header changes, the proxy module would
5284 dump core for replies with invalid headers (e.g., duplicate
5285 "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines). These errors are now logged and the
5286 core dump is avoided. Also, broken replies are not cached.
5287 [Martin Kraemer] PR#2914
5289 *) new `GprofDir' directive when compiled with -DGPROF, where gprof can
5290 plop gmon.out profile data for each child [Doug MacEachern]
5292 *) Use the construct ``"$@"'' instead of ``$*'' in the generated
5293 config.status script to be immune against arguments with whitespaces.
5294 [Yves Arrouye <yves@apple.com>] PR#2866
5296 *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration
5297 adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper
5298 script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to
5299 be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the
5300 recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems.
5301 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2776, PR#2848
5303 *) Make ab.c again pass ``gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
5304 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline''
5305 without complains after we recently added the POST feature.
5306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5308 *) Renamed is_HTTP_xxx() macros to ap_is_HTTP_xxx() name. They are used inside
5309 modules as API functions and we forgot them at the big symbol renaming.
5310 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5312 *) Remove bad reference to non-existing SERVER_VERSION in mod_rewrite.html

5318 *) Add the ability to do POST requests to the ab benchmarking tool.
5319 [Kurt Sussman <kls@best.com>] PR#2871
5321 *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of
5322 5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8
5323 variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every
5324 release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never
5325 needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-)
5326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5328 *) Make the proxy generate and understand Via: headers
5331 *) Change the proxy to use tables instead of array_headers for
5332 the header lines. [Martin Kraemer]
5334 *) Make sure the config.status file is not overridden when just
5335 ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844
5337 *) Split MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER into _MAJOR/_MINOR numbers. This should
5338 provide a way to trace API changes that add functionality but do
5339 not create a compatibility issue for precompiled modules, etc.
5340 See include/ap_mmn.h for more details. [Randy Terbush]
5342 *) Fix suexec installation under `make install root=xxx' situation.
5343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5345 *) Extend the output of the -V switch to include the paths of all
5346 compiled-in configuration files, if they were overridden at
5347 compile time, for least astonishment of the user.
5350 *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old"
5351 vhost, request and client information is not displayed.
5354 *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now
5355 run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive.
5358 *) SECURITY: Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2)
5359 cpu time attacks) in header parsing. Add ap_overlap_tables(),
5360 a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations
5361 on tables in a more efficient manner. [Dean Gaudet]
5363 *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for
5364 various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple
5365 denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line
5366 size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields),
5367 and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize). Also added
5368 a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the
5369 request message body. [Roy Fielding]
5371 *) Make status module aware of DNS and logging states, even if
5372 STATUS not defined. [Jim Jagielski]
5374 *) Fix a problem with the new OS/2 mutexes. [Brian Havard]
5376 *) Enhance mod_speling so that CheckSpelling can be used in
5377 <Directory> containers and .htaccess files. [Ken Coar]
5379 *) API: new ap_custom_response() function for hooking into the
5380 ErrorDocument mechanism at runtime [Doug MacEachern]
5382 *) API: new ap_uuencode() function [Doug MacEachern]
5384 *) API: scan_script_header_err_core() now "public" and renamed
5385 ap_scan_script_header_err_core() [Doug MacEachern]
5387 *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their
5388 state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski]
5390 *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this
5391 was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3. Add a new
5392 function ap_log_rerror() which takes a request_rec * and
5393 formats it appropriately. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2661
5395 *) Cure ap_cfg_getline() of its nasty habit of compressing internal
5396 whitespace in input lines -- including within quoted strings.
5398 but leading and trailing whitespace should continue to be
5399 stripped [Martin Kraemer]
5401 *) Cleanup of the PrintPath/PrintPathOS2 helper functions. Avoid
5402 the ugly use of an env. variable and use command-line args for
5403 alternate $PATH. Make more like advanced 'type's as well.
5406 *) The IRIXN32 Rule was being ignored. Configure now correctly adds
5407 -n32 only if IRIXN32 says to. [Jim Jagielski, Alain St-Denis
5408 <alain.st-denis@ec.gc.ca>] PR#2736
5410 *) Clean up a warning in mod_proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5412 *) Renamed __EMX__ (internal define of the gcc port under OS/2) to OS2
5413 following the same idea as "MSVC vs WIN32". Additionally the src/os/emx/
5414 directory was renamed to src/os/os2/ for consistency.
5415 [Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5417 *) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO
5418 files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries).
5419 This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for
5420 linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is
5421 disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental)
5422 rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and
5423 want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs.
5424 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2587
5426 *) Fix suEXEC start message: Has to be of `notice' level to really get
5427 printed together with the standard startup message because the `notice'

5442 *) One more portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk
5443 and sed in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some
5444 platforms (for instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the

5559 least one "mmapfile" directive is present in the configuration.
5560 This experimental module has to do some black magic to operate

5676 directory, bail out of the request with an error message. [W G Stoddard]
5678 *) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate directories consisting of three or more dots;
5679 these are treated by Win32 as if they are ".." but are not detected by
5680 other machinery within Apache. This is something of a kludge but
5681 eliminates a security hole. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ben Laurie]
5683 *) Move ap_escape_quotes() from src/ap to src/main/util.c; it uses

5698 (Group, Port, ServerAdmin, ServerName) via some intelligent tests to
5699 remove some of the classical hurdles for new users when setting up

5701 user. Package authors can use the --without-confadjust option to disable
5702 these configuration adjustments.

5711 as <IfModule>..</IfModule> sections) which can be used to skip or process
5712 contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command
5713 line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like <IfDefine
5714 ReverseProxy> instead of physically ones (e.g. <IfModule mod_proxy.c>)

5727 *) Portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed
5728 in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for
5729 instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined
5730 output of Awk. [Bill Houle <bhoule@sandiegoca.ncr.com>] PR#2435
5732 *) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing
5733 integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting
5734 them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather
5735 than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and
5736 make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first
5737 regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good
5738 in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large
5739 directories. [Ken Coar]
5741 *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation
5742 of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used
5743 configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by
5744 just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between
5746 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5748 *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only.
5749 If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code
5750 non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache
5751 configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl
5752 on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts
5753 because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start.
5754 This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having
5755 to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run
5756 via `apachectl configtest'.

5908 *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror()
5909 was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing
5910 proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this
5911 purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes"
5912 was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates
5913 its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new
5914 cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments.
5915 The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror()

5973 *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything
5974 "safe" under Win32. In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c
5977 *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck <beck@bofh.ucs.ualberta.ca>]
5979 *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort
5980 of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars.
5981 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2242
5983 *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed.
5984 [Ben Laurie] PR#2238
5986 *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C
5987 library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles
5988 instead of C file descriptors.
5989 [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard <wgstodda@us.ibm.com>] PR#1129, 1607
5991 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached
5992 file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching
5993 of the original copy instead of using the cached copy.
5994 [Ernst Kloppenburg <kloppen@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>] PR#2094
5996 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This
5997 is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld
5998 somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make
5999 provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD
6000 variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is
6001 reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for
6002 building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems.
6003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6005 *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which
6006 provides for more control over the format of the Server:
6007 header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported;
6008 all module should use the ap_add_version_component()
6009 API function instead. [Jim Jagielski]
6011 *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0
6012 [John Withers <withers@semi.kcsc.mwr.irs.gov>]
6014 *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was
6015 not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable.
6016 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6018 *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups:
6019 - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR
6020 - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in
6021 Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location.
6022 - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside
6023 any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in
6025 - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too.
6026 - updated the dependencies theirself
6027 - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets
6028 - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS
6029 already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not
6030 directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they
6031 contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name.
6032 - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC
6033 - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double
6035 - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage
6036 of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects
6037 - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last
6038 existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too.
6039 - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together
6040 with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This
6041 is no longer needed.
6042 - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the
6043 first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner
6044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6046 *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix.
6049 *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename.
6052 *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n.
6053 [Jim Patterson <Jim.Patterson@Cognos.COM>, Ben Laurie] PR#2060
6055 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess
6056 and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null
6057 device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time,
6058 we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts.
6059 [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer]
6061 *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit
6062 due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define,
6063 SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text
6064 descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet]
6066 *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment
6067 like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures
6068 if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call
6069 and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts
6070 in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's
6071 necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo
6072 or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was
6073 necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release.
6076 *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe:
6077 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the
6078 htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related
6080 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option
6081 (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option.
6082 If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL
6083 and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents.
6084 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC
6085 configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else
6086 had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal
6087 UID/GID and safe PATH, too.
6088 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6090 *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process:
6091 - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the
6092 shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs
6093 - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles
6094 - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile
6095 only when no shadow trees already exists
6096 - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only
6097 when no more shadow trees exists
6098 - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice
6099 as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec)
6100 - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files
6101 Makefille.<gnutriple> and directories src.<gnutriple>
6102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6104 *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the
6105 AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to
6106 declare themselves in the Server response header field value,
6107 augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file
6108 with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment).
6109 AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)"
6110 into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056
6112 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf.
6115 *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler.
6116 [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464
6118 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail
6119 to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value.
6122 *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules
6123 are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism:
6124 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one
6125 and not the original statically list from modules.c
6126 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for
6127 later use by the AddModule command.
6128 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install'
6129 target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because
6130 this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid
6131 confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity
6132 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install'
6133 target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed
6134 via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry.
6135 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command
6136 is added in addition to the LoadModule command.
6137 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two
6138 comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology
6139 of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of
6140 the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( )
6141 This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between
6142 statically and dynamically linked modules.
6143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6145 *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the
6146 Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6148 *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command
6151 *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other
6152 places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551
6154 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time
6155 zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>]
6158 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature
6159 feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing
6160 r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some
6161 functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead,
6162 because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0.
6165 *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline. Worth
6166 1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet]
6168 *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c
6169 when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski,
6172 *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize
6173 the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts
6174 would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer]
6176 *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole
6177 absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done
6178 in unix. [Martin Kraemer]
6180 *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in
6181 the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there)
6182 and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting.
6183 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch]
6185 *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with
6186 a URI, not a filename, so the check for drive letters for win32
6187 and emx is not necessary. [Dean Gaudet]
6189 *) WIN32: Allow .cmd as an executable extension.
6190 [Kari Likovuori <Kari.Likovuori@mol.fi>] PR#2146
6192 *) Make Apache header files, and some variables, C++ friendly.
6193 [Michael Anderson's <mka@redes.int.com.mx>]
6195 *) Child processes can now "signal" (by exiting with a status
6196 of APEXIT_CHILDFATAL) the parent process to abort and
6197 shutdown the server if the error in the child process was
6198 fatal enough. [Jim Jagielski]
6200 *) mod_autoindex's find_itme() was sensitive to MIME type case.
6201 [Jim Jagielski] PR#2112
6203 *) Make sure the referer_log and agent_log entries in the default httpd.conf
6204 file are also adjusted for the actual relative installation paths.
6205 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2175
6207 *) WIN32: Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. [Ben Laurie]
6209 *) WIN32: Make roots of filesystems (e.g. c:/) work. [Ben Laurie]
6212 *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3.
6213 Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved
6214 from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second
6215 mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the
6216 vendor functions itself.
6217 [Jens-Uwe Mager, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6219 *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD
6220 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>] PR#2165
6222 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD.
6223 [Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@ics.muni.cz>, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158
6225 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older
6226 AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is
6227 accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager
6228 which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file.
6229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6231 *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply
6232 that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t.
6233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6235 *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c.
6238 *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO
6239 is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear
6240 whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer]
6242 *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most
6243 of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package
6244 maintainers from RedHat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a
6245 little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we
6246 provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir,
6247 --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if
6248 --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice
6249 side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl.
6250 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6252 *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable
6253 by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package
6254 maintainers (especially Debian and RedHat) who build for the real prefix
6255 via "configure --prefix=/<real>" but use a different local prefix via
6256 "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling
6257 the target location on their system.
6258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6260 *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now
6261 substituting in chunks of 50 commands (because for instance HPUX's vendor
6262 sed has a limit of max. 98 commands)
6263 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2136
6265 *) Adding SOCKS5 support and fixing existing SOCKS4 support.
6266 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2140
6268 *) Manually fix some symbols which were not renamed to prefix ap_ in the BIG
6269 RENAMING process because they are defined as pre-processor macros instead
6270 of real functions: bputc, bgetc, piped_log_write_fd, piped_log_read_fd
6271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6273 *) Workaround braindead AWK's when generating ap_config.h: The split() and
6274 substr() functions cannot be nested under vendor AWK from Solaris 2.6.
6275 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2139
6277 *) Various bugfixes and cleanups for the APACI configure script:
6278 o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation
6279 o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one
6280 o fix DSO consistency check
6281 o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout
6282 o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub
6283 o reduce complexity by avoiding sed-hacks for rule and module list loops
6284 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6286 *) Fix DEBUG_CGI situation in mod_cgi.c [David MacKenzie] PR#2114
6288 *) Make sure the input field separator (IFS) shell variable is explicitly
6289 initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after
6290 the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6292 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and
6293 `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often
6294 customize these for own MIME and content types.
6295 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6297 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for OpenBSD 2.x
6298 [Peter Galbavy, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2109
6300 *) Fix the path to the ScoreBoardFile in the install-config target, too.
6301 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105
6303 *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell
6304 variables) to avoid side-effects in "src/Configure" when the user
6305 exported them (which is not needed, but some users do it).
6306 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2101
6308 *) Provide backward compatibility from some old src/Configuration.tmpl
6309 parameter names to the canonical Autoconf-style shell variable names. For
6310 instance CFLAGS vs. EXTRA_CFLAGS. The EXTRA_xxx variants are accepted now
6311 but a hint message is displayed. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6313 *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the DocumentRoot and
6314 CGI scripts from an existing Apache installation.
6315 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Jim Jagielski] PR#2084
6317 *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first
6318 let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and
6319 second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not
6320 appended to sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir when
6321 --compat is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Eilebrecht]
6323 *) NeXT required strdup() in support/logresolve.c
6324 [Francisco Tomei <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>] PR#2082
6326 *) AIX required sys/select.h in support/ab.c

6329 *) Fix the path to the MimeMagicFile in the install-config target, too.
6330 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089
6332 *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson <jaearick@colby.edu>]
6334 *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump
6335 out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying
6336 to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration.
6337 (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet]
6339 *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf,
6340 ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs.
6343 *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure
6344 --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the
6345 --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht]
6347 *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load()
6348 to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way
6349 to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6351 *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still
6352 ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error
6353 message before handling it. This catches things such as trying
6354 to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko]
6356 *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses
6357 stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too.
6358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6360 *) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too
6361 long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile
6362 [Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6364 *) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory
6365 /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht]
6367 Changes with Apache 1.3b6
6369 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde]
6371 *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style
6372 interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system
6373 calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6375 *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made
6376 APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare
6377 Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6379 *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++
6380 To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server,
6381 we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of
6383 - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn)
6384 - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets)
6385 - Private functions which we can't make static (because of
6386 cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection)
6387 For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was
6388 created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used
6389 by third-party module authors.
6392 *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The
6393 problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker
6394 to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are
6395 available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a
6396 dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the
6397 httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5:
6398 Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so.
6399 This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available
6400 to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the
6401 user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which
6402 automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus
6403 hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of
6404 this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which
6405 essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled
6406 manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future
6407 where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty
6408 features like graceful upgrades, or whatever.
6409 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer]
6411 *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde]
6413 *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also
6414 inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile
6415 conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets,
6416 "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration
6417 process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh
6418 source tree as it was for distribution.
6419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6421 *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors
6422 the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the
6423 initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean
6424 variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir
6425 prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement.
6426 This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the
6427 user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6429 *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive.
6430 [Todd Eigenschink <eigenstr@mixi.net>] PR#2045
6432 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of
6433 indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also
6434 remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define
6435 to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut]
6437 *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO,
6438 since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding]
6440 *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard]
6442 *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the
6443 experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as
6444 an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and
6445 prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules.
6446 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6448 *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query
6449 specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you
6450 manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble
6451 the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`.
6452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6454 *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support
6455 on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl
6456 installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's
6457 the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags
6458 for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is
6459 warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us
6460 the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6462 *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build
6463 and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area.
6464 Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide
6465 a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility.
6466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6468 *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and
6469 installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the
6470 dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that
6471 this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The
6472 (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the
6473 Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool
6474 (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party
6475 module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source
6476 tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform
6477 dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of
6478 modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3
6479 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can
6480 on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the
6481 first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the
6482 APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6484 *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy.
6485 [Rainer.Scherg@rexroth.de] PR#1326, #1573, #1942
6487 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog
6488 so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used.
6491 *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of
6492 the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real
6493 out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the
6494 complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure"
6495 script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is
6496 to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive
6497 the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the
6498 package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old
6499 configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly
6500 customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6502 *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe.
6503 Had to remove the HAVE_CVT macro in order to do threadsafe
6504 calling of the ?cvt() floating point routines. [Dean Gaudet]
6506 *) PORT: Add the SCO_SV port. [Jim Jagielski] PR#1962
6508 *) PORT: IRIX needs the -n32 flag iff using the 'cc' compiler

6511 *) BUG: Configure was using TCC and CC inconsistently. Make sure
6512 Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski]
6514 *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec"
6515 was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht]
6517 *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is
6518 a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output
6519 routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines
6520 psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory
6521 required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up
6522 various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup().
6525 *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because
6526 ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than
6527 snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet]
6529 *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This
6530 is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts
6531 are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are
6532 maintained across exec().

6540 existing QUERY_STRING now that mod_proxy was recently changed because of
6541 the new URL parsing stuff. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6543 *) A few changes to scoreboard definitions which helps gcc generate
6544 better code. [Dean Gaudet]
6546 *) ANSI C doesn't guarantee that "int foo : 2" in a structure will
6547 be a signed bitfield. So mark a few bitfields as signed to
6548 ensure correct code. [Dean Gaudet]
6550 *) The default for HostnameLookups was changed to Off, but there
6551 was a problem and it wasn't taking effect. [Dean Gaudet]
6553 *) PORT: Clean up undefined signals on some platforms (SCO, BeOS).
6556 *) After a SIGHUP the listening sockets in the parent weren't
6557 properly marked for closure on fork().
6558 [Jürgen Keil <jk@tools.de>] PR#2000
6560 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI,
6561 therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request
6562 is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway.
6563 Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with
6564 %2f in them (occurs quite often in
6565 http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer]
6567 *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches. [Dean Gaudet]
6569 *) Make the shared object compilation command more portable by avoiding
6570 the direct combination of `-c' & `-o' which is not honored by some
6571 compilers like UnixWare's cc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6573 *) WIN32: the proxy was creating filenames missing the last four
6574 characters. While this normally doesn't stop anything from
6575 working, it can result in extra collisions.
6576 [Tim Costello <tjcostel@socs.uts.edu.au>] PR#1890
6578 *) Now mod_proxy uses the response string (in addition to the response status
6579 code) from the already used FTP SIZE command to setup the Content-Length
6580 header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183
6582 *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive:
6583 Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old
6584 name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to
6585 the mod_proxy.html and corrected the hyperlink to it in the
6586 new_features_1.3.html document. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1348
6588 *) Fix a bug in the src/helpers/fp2rp script and make it a little bit
6589 faster [Martin Kraemer]
6591 *) Make Configure die when you give it an unknown command switch.
6594 *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1,
6595 suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date
6596 and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to
6597 document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really
6598 Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6600 *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated
6601 Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed
6602 INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of
6603 generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance
6604 information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where
6605 the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less
6606 verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script,
6607 added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6609 *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived
6610 from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the
6611 response performance of an Apache installation. This version is
6612 officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement
6613 statements in <199803171224.NAA24547@en1.engelschall.com> in apache-core.
6614 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6616 *) API: Various core functions that are definately not part of the API
6617 have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT. Still
6618 more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general
6619 use by modules. [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
6621 *) mod_proxy was not clearing the Proxy-Connection header from
6622 requests; now it does. This did not violate any spec, however
6623 causes poor interactions when you are talking to remote proxies.
6624 [Marc Slemko] PR#1741
6626 *) Various cleanups to the command line interface and manual pages.
6627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6629 *) cfg_getline() was not properly handling lines that did not end
6630 with a line termination character. [Marc Slemko] PR#1869, 1909
6632 *) Performance tweak to mod_log_config. [Dmitry Khrustalev]
6634 *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to
6635 "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header
6636 and regex. Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in
6637 the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by
6638 doing more work at config time rather than at runtime.
6641 *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's
6642 to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition
6643 warnings [Jim Jagielski]
6645 *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3.
6648 *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from
6649 mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type
6650 checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with
6651 HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type
6652 checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type
6653 from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing
6654 the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and
6655 especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can
6656 be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together.
6657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6659 *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet]
6661 *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source
6662 and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte. [Dean Gaudet]
6664 *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they
6665 end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems
6666 that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet]
6668 *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified
6669 port is in the appropriate range. [Ben Hyde]
6671 *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler().
6672 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>]
6674 *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules
6675 (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the
6676 ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally
6677 modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object
6678 building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at
6679 least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6681 *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding,
6682 content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They
6683 must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't
6684 be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs
6685 related to this. [Dean Gaudet]
6687 *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can
6688 treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There
6689 is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup().
6692 *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names
6693 are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating
6694 error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6696 *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ
6697 environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes
6698 with mod_setenv. So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit
6699 TZ variable. [Jay Soffian <jay@cimedia.com>] PR#1888
6701 *) rputs() did not calculate r->sent_bodyct properly.
6702 [Siegmund Stirnweiss <siegst@kat.ina.de>] PR#1900
6704 *) The CGI spec says that REMOTE_HOST should be set to the remote hosts's
6705 name, or left unset if this value is unavailable. Apache was setting
6706 it to the IP address when unavailable.
6707 [Tony Finch <fanf@demon.net>] PR#1925
6709 *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling
6710 modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and
6711 OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added. This way shared
6712 object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux,
6713 Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms!
6714 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6716 *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap"
6717 scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD
6718 and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD. [Dean Gaudet]
6720 *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in
6721 mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on
6722 files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated
6723 through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock,
6724 but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a
6725 lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the
6726 parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the
6727 RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now
6728 the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API
6729 hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029
6731 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no
6732 longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the
6733 URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and
6734 AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do
6735 not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can
6736 be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it
6737 does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is
6738 also consistent with the Alias directive.
6739 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#1440
6741 *) Fix bug with mod_mime_magic causing certain files, including files
6742 of length 0, to result in no response from the server.
6745 *) The Configure script now generates src/include/ap_config.h which
6746 contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform.
6747 This file can then be included by external modules before including
6748 any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from
6749 Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were
6750 made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf
6751 defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
6753 *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where <VirtualHost> sections exist
6754 but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no
6755 chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus
6756 receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by
6757 remembering the server together with the config structure while
6758 configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a
6759 difference between the remembered server and the one calling us.
6760 [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1790
6762 *) Fixed the DBM RewriteMap support for mod_rewrite: First the support now
6763 is automatically disabled under configure time when the dbm_xxx functions
6764 are not available. Second, two heavy source code errors in the DBM
6765 support code were fixed. This makes DBM RewriteMap's usable again after
6766 a long time of brokenness. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1696
6768 *) Now all configuration files support Unix-style line-continuation via
6769 the trailing backslash ("\") character. This enables us to write down
6770 complex or just very long directives in a more readable way. The
6771 backslash character has to be really the last character before the
6772 newline and it has not been prefixed by another (escaping) backslash.

6778 *) To deal with modules being compiled and [dynamically] linked
6779 at a different time from the core, the SERVER_VERSION and
6780 SERVER_BUILT symbols have been abstracted through the new
6781 API routines apapi_get_server_version() and apapi_get_server_built().
6784 *) WIN32: Preserve trailing slash in canonical path (and hence
6785 in PATH_INFO). [Paul Sutton, Ben Laurie]
6787 *) PORT: USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT has proven unreliable
6788 depending on the rev of Solaris and what mixture of modules
6789 are in use. So it has been disabled, and Solaris is back to
6790 using USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. Users may experiment with
6791 USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT at their own risk, it may speed
6792 up static content only servers. Or it may fail unpredictably.
6793 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1779, 1854, 1904
6795 *) mod_test_util_uri.c created which tests the logic in util_uri.c.
6798 *) API: Rewrite of absoluteURI handling, and in particular how
6799 absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a
6800 "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been
6801 supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols
6802 which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests.
6804 In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a
6805 request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so
6806 that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set
6807 by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or
6808 translate_names phase.
6810 Plus changes to the virtualhost test suite for absoluteURI testing.
6812 This fixes several bugs with the proxy proxying requests to vhosts
6813 managed by the same httpd.
6816 *) API: Cleanup of code in http_vhost.c, and remove vhost matching
6817 code from mod_rewrite. The vhost matching is now performed by a
6818 globally available function matches_request_vhost(). [Dean Gaudet]

6834 *) API: A new source module main/util_uri.c; It contains a routine
6835 parse_uri_components() and friends which breaks a URI into its component
6836 parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called
6837 parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules.
6838 Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI
6839 components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part
6840 from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure,
6841 you find on a ready-for-use basis:
6842 scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */
6843 hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */
6844 user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
6845 password; /* password, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */
6846 hostname; /* hostname from URI (or from Host: header) */
6847 port_str; /* port string (integer representation is in "port") */
6848 path; /* the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */
6849 query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */
6850 fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */
6851 This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in
6852 code complexity for the proxy module (and maybe the vhost logic).
6855 *) Make all possible meta-construct expansions ($N, %N, %{NAME} and
6856 ${map:key}) available for all location where a string is created in
6857 mod_rewrite rewriting rulesets: 1st arg of RewriteCond, 2nd arg of

6859 possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation
6860 locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

6865 completely overridden (default) or completely inherited (when
6866 `RewriteOptions inherit') is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1325

6897 type but with a special post-processing for the looked-up value: It
6898 parses it into alternatives according to `|' chars and then only one
6899 particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential
6900 functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using
6901 Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of
6902 servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and
6903 `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an
6904 essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass
6905 virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using
6906 <VirtualHost> sections). [Ralf S. Engelschall, parts based on code from

6909 *) Add a new directive to mod_proxy similar to ProxyPass: `ProxyPassReverse'.
6910 This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in Location-headers on HTTP
6911 redirect responses sent by the remote server. This way the virtually
6912 mapped area is no longer left on redirects and thus by-passed which is
6913 especially essential when running Apache as a reverse proxy.

7014 Changes with Apache 1.3b4
7016 *) The module structure was modified to include a *dynamic_load_handle
7017 in the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF portion, and the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER
7018 has been bumped accordingly. [Paul Sutton]
7020 *) All BrowserMatch directives mentioned in
7021 htdocs/manual/known_client_problems.html are in the default
7022 configuration files. [Lars Eilebrecht]
7024 *) MiNT port update. [Jan Paul Schmidt]
7026 *) HTTP/1.1 requires x-gzip and gzip encodings be treated
7027 equivalent, similarly for x-compress and compress. Apache
7028 now ignores a leading x- when comparing encodings. It also
7029 preserves the encoding the client requests (for example if
7030 it requests x-gzip, then Apache will respond with x-gzip
7031 in the Content-Encoding header).
7032 [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch>] PR#1772
7034 *) Fix a memory leak on keep-alive connections. [Igor Tatarinov]
7036 *) Added mod_so module to support dynamic loading of modules on Unix

7038 instead of AddModule in Configuration to build shared modules
7039 [Sameer Parekh, Paul Sutton]
7041 *) Minor cleanups to r->finfo handling in some modules.
7044 *) Abstract read()/write() to ap_read()/ap_write().
7045 Makes it easier to add other types of IO code such as SFIO.
7048 *) API: Generalize default_port manipulations to make support of
7049 different protocols easier. [Ben Laurie, Randy Terbush]
7051 *) There are many cases where users do not want Apache to form
7052 self-referential urls using the "canonical" ServerName and Port.
7053 The new UseCanonicalName directive (default on), if set to off
7054 will cause Apache to use the client-supplied hostname and port.

7059 PR#315, 459, 485, 1433
7061 *) Yet another rearrangement of the source tree.. now all the common
7062 header files are in the src/include directory. The -Imain -Iap
7063 references in Makefiles have been changed to the simpler -Iinclude
7064 instead. In addition to simplifying the build a little bit, this
7065 also makes it clear when a module is referencing something in a
7066 other than kosher manner (e.g., the proxy including mod_mime.h).
7067 Module-private header files (the proxy, mod_mime, the regex library,
7068 and mod_rewrite) have not been moved to src/include; nor have
7069 the OS-abstraction files. [Ken Coar]
7071 *) Fix a bug where r->hostname didn't have the :port stripped
7072 from it. [Dean Gaudet]
7074 *) Tweaked the headers_out table size, and the subprocess_env
7075 table size guess in rename_original_environment(). Added
7076 MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE which can help discover make_table()
7077 calls that use too small an initial guess, see alloc.c.
7080 *) Options and AllowOverride weren't properly merging in the main
7081 server setting inside vhosts (only an issue when you have no
7082 <Directory> or other section containing an Options that affects
7083 a request). Options +foo or -foo in the main_server wouldn't
7084 affect the main_server's lookup defaults. [Dean Gaudet]
7086 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
7089 *) r->allowed handling cleaned up in the standard modules.
7092 *) Some case-sensitivity issues cleaned up to be consistent with
7093 RFC2068. [Dean Gaudet]
7095 *) SIGURG doesn't exist everywhere.
7096 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich@tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
7098 *) mod_unique_id was erroneously generating a second unique id when
7099 an internal redirect occured. Such redirects occur, for example,
7100 when processing a DirectoryIndex match. [Dean Gaudet]
7102 *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup()
7103 of the key and value. But in many cases this is not required
7104 because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built
7105 by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn,
7106 table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these
7107 routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and
7108 standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines.
7109 The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations.
7111 Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value
7112 which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only
7113 safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of
7114 the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table.
7115 i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main
7116 request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the
7117 main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as
7118 the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper
7119 usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details.
7120 [Dmitry Khrustalev <dima@bog.msu.su>, Dean Gaudet]
7122 *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files"
7123 which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly.
7124 Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no
7125 MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled.
7128 *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts
7129 which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts
7130 appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of
7131 "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set.
7132 [Martin Kraemer, with code from peter@zeus.dialix.oz.au (Peter Wemm)
7135 *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should
7136 have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even
7137 some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition
7138 to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile
7139 time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change
7140 facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table
7141 structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts()
7142 to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet]
7144 *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP
7145 library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf]
7147 *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform.
7150 *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed:
7152 SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
7154 Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards
7155 and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the
7156 HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the
7157 OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for
7158 the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD
7159 and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to
7160 determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache
7161 to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard.
7164 *) PORT: UnixWare 2.1.2 SMP appears to require USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT,
7165 as do various earlier versions. It should be safe on all versions.
7166 Unixware 1.x appears to have the same SIGHUP bug as solaris does with
7167 the slack code. A few other cleanups for Unixware.

7170 *) PORT: A/UX can handle single-listen accepts without mutex
7171 locking, so we add SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. [Jim Jagielski]
7173 *) When die() happens we need to eat any request body if one exists.
7174 Otherwise we can't continue with a keepalive session. This shows up
7175 as a POST problem with MSIE 4.0, typically against pages which are
7176 authenticated. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
7178 *) If you define SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION then the Authorization
7179 header will be passed to CGIs. This is generally a security hole, so

7187 *) suexec errors now include the errno/description. [Marc Slemko] PR#1543
7189 *) PORT: OSF/1 now uses USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT to solve PR#467.
7190 The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that
7191 even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of
7192 magnitude slower. It also uses SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT so
7193 that single socket users will see no difference. [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
7195 *) "File does not exist" error message was erroneously including the
7196 errno. [Marc Slemko]
7198 *) Improve the warning message generated when a client drops the
7199 connection (hits stop button, etc.) during a send. [Roy Fielding]
7201 *) Defining GPROF will disable profiling in the parent and enable it
7202 in the children. If you're profiling under Linux this is pretty much
7203 necessary because SIGPROF is lost across a fork(). [Dean Gaudet]
7205 *) htdigest and htpasswd needed slight tweaks to work on OS/2 and WIN32.

7212 *) Some linkers complain when .o files contain no functions.
7213 [Keith Severson <keith@sssd.navy.mil>] PR#1614
7215 *) Some const declarations in mod_imap.c that were added for debugging
7216 purposes caused some compilers heartburn without adding any
7217 significant value, so they've been removed. [Ken Coar]
7219 *) The src/main/*.h header files have had #ifndef wrappers added to
7220 insulate them against duplicate calls if they get included through
7221 multiple paths (e.g., in .c files as well as other .h files).
7224 *) The libap routines now have a header file for their prototypes,
7225 src/ap/ap.h, to ease their use in non-httpd applications. [Ken Coar]
7227 *) mod_autoindex with a plaintext header file would emit the <PRE>
7228 start-tag before the HTML preamble, rather than after the preamble
7229 but before the header file contents. [John Van Essen <jve@gamers.org>]
7232 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
7233 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
7234 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
7236 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
7237 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
7238 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
7240 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
7241 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
7243 *) The "Connection" header could be sent back with multiple "close"
7244 tokens. Not an error, but a waste.
7245 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1683
7247 *) mod_rewrite's RewriteLog should behave like mod_log_config, it
7248 shouldn't force hostname lookups. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1684
7250 *) "basic" auth needs a case-insensitive comparison.
7251 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1666
7253 *) For maximum portability, the environment passed to CGIs should
7254 only contain variables whose names match the regex
7255 /[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*/. This is now enforced by stamping
7256 underscores over any character outside the regex. This
7257 affects HTTP_* variables, in a way that should be backward
7258 compatible for all the standard headers; and affects variables
7259 set with SetEnv/BrowserMatch and similar directives.
7262 *) mod_speling returned incorrect HREF's when an ambigous match
7263 was found. Noticed by <robinton@amtrash.comlink.de> (Soeren Ziehe)

7270 *) PORT: Fix problem killing children when terminating. Allow ^C
7271 to shut down the server. [Brian Havard]
7273 *) pstrdup() is implicit in calls to table_* functions, so there's
7274 no need to do it before calling. Clean up a few cases.
7275 [Marc Slemko, Dean Gaudet]
7277 *) new -C and -c command line arguments

7290 *) WIN32: Fix a call to os_canonical_filename so it doesn't try to
7291 mess with fake filenames. This fixes proxy caching on

7295 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop.
7296 [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
7298 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
7299 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. [Dean Gaudet]
7301 *) WIN32: overhaul of multithreading code. Shutdowns are now graceful
7302 (connections are not dropped). Code can handle graceful restarts
7303 (but there is as yet no way to signal this to Apache). Various
7304 other cleanups. [Paul Sutton]
7306 *) The aplog_error changes specific to 1.3 introduced a buffer
7307 overrun in the (now legacy) log_printf function. Fixed.
7310 *) mod_digest didn't properly deal with proxy authentication. It
7311 also lacked a case-insensitive comparision of the "Digest"
7312 token. [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch>] PR#1599
7314 *) A few cleanups in mod_status for efficiency. [Dean Gaudet]
7316 *) A few cleanups in mod_info to make it thread-safe, and remove an

7323 ap_cpystrn() for performance and functionality reasons.

7343 *) non-WIN32 was missing destroy_mutex definition. [Ben Hyde]
7345 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly.
7346 [Ben Reser <breser@regnow.com>] PR#1366
7348 *) The bputc() macro was not properly integrated with the chunking
7349 code; in many cases modules using bputc() could cause completely
7350 bogus chunked output. (Typically this will show up as problems
7351 with Internet Explorer 4.0 reading a page, but other browsers
7352 having no problem.) [Dean Gaudet]
7354 *) Create LARGE_WRITE_THRESHOLD define which determines how many
7355 bytes have to be supplied to bwrite() before it will consider
7356 doing a writev() to assemble multiple buffers in one system
7357 call. This is critical for modules such as mod_include,
7358 mod_autoindex, mod_php3 which all use bputc()/bputs() of smaller
7359 strings in some cases. The result would be extra effort
7360 setting up writev(), and in many cases extra effort building
7361 chunks. The default is 31, it can be overriden at compile
7364 *) Move the gid switching code into the child so that log files
7365 and pid files are opened with the root gid.

7471 This turns out to be a bug in Winsock - select() doesn't always
7472 return the correct status. [Ben Laurie]
7474 *) Directives owned by http_core can now use the new check_cmd_context()
7475 routine to ensure that they're not being used within a container
7476 (e.g., <Directory>) where they're invalid. [Martin Kraemer]
7478 *) PORT: Recent changes made it necessary to add explicit prototype
7479 for fgetc() and fgets() on SunOS 4.x. [Martin Kraemer, Ben Hyde]
7481 *) It was necessary to distinguish between resources which are
7482 allocated in the parent, for cleanup in the parent, and resources
7483 which are allocated in each child, for cleanup in each child.
7484 A new pool was created which is passed to the module child_init
7485 and child_exit functions; modules are free to register per-child
7486 cleanups there. This fixes a bug with reliable piped logs.
7489 *) mod_autoindex wasn't displaying the ReadmeName file at the bottom
7490 unless it was also doing FancyIndexes, but it displayed the
7491 HeaderName file at the top under all circumstances. It now shows
7492 the ReadmeName file for simple indices, too, as it should.
7495 *) http_core was mmap()ing even in cases where it wasn't going to
7496 read the file. [Ben Hyde <bhyde@gensym.com>]
7498 *) Complete rewrite ;-) of mod_rewrite's URL rewriting engine:
7499 Now the rewriting engine (the heart of mod_rewrite) is organized more
7500 straight-forward, first time well documented and reduced to the really
7501 essential parts. All redundant cases were stripped off and processing now
7502 is the same for both per-server and per-directory context with only a
7503 minimum difference (the prefix stripping in per-dir context). As a
7504 side-effect some subtle restrictions and two recently discovered problems
7505 are gone: Wrong escaping of QUERY_STRING on redirects in per-directory
7506 context and restrictions on the substitution URL on redirects.
7507 Additionally some minor source cleanups were done.

7662 Changes with Apache 1.3b2 (there is no 1.3b1)
7664 *) TestCompile was not passing $LIBS [Dean Gaudet]
7666 *) Makefile.tmpl was not using $CFLAGS in the link phase.
7669 *) Add debugging code to alloc.c. Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
7670 rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
7671 low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
7672 Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
7673 and free() for each object. This is far more expensive and should
7674 only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
7675 Purify. See main/alloc.c for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
7677 *) Configure uses a sh trap and didn't set its exitcode properly.
7678 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1159
7680 *) Yet another vhost revamp. Add the NameVirtualHost directive which
7681 explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
7682 From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
7683 only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port. The precedence of
7684 vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
7685 the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts. All vhost matching was
7686 moved into http_vhost.[ch]. [Dean Gaudet]
7688 *) ap_inline can be used to force inlining. GNUC __attribute__() can
7689 be used for whatever reason is appropriate (i.e. format() warnings
7690 for printf style functions). Both are enabled only with
7691 gcc >= 2.7.x (so that we have fewer support issues with older
7692 versions). [Dean Gaudet]
7694 *) Fix support for Proxy Authentication (we were testing the response
7695 status too early). [Marc Slemko]
7697 *) CoreDumpDirectory directive directs where the core file is
7698 written when a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABORT or SIGABRT are

7702 [Jan Paul Schmidt <Jan.P.Schmidt@mni.fh-giessen.de>]
7704 *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
7705 and stderr. stderr will not be detached until after the config
7706 files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
7707 messages. After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
7708 This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
7709 or crontabs. [Dean Gaudet] PR#523
7711 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
7712 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
7713 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
7715 *) send_fb would not detect aborted connections in some situations.
7718 *) mod_include would use uninitialized data when parsing certain
7719 expressions involving && and ||. [Brian Slesinsky] PR#1139
7721 *) mod_imap should only handle GET methods. [Jay Bloodworth]
7723 *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]
7725 *) mod_autoindex improperly counted &escapes; as more than one
7726 character in the description. It also improperly truncated
7727 descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
7730 *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155). Also
7731 "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
7734 *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
7735 and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
7736 redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
7737 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]
7739 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
7740 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
7741 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson@intranet.csupomona.edu>]

7750 reporting a select error over and over.

7753 *) Fixed error in proxy_util.c when looping through multiple host IP
7754 addresses. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#974
7756 *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
7757 buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
7758 bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
7759 buffer boundary. [Dean Gaudet]
7761 *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
7762 the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on. As part of
7763 this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
7764 scoreboard_image was exported. This change fixes a race condition
7765 in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
7766 scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development. [Dean Gaudet]
7768 *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
7769 modules to register children with the parent for maintenance. It
7770 is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD. [Dean Gaudet]
7772 *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
7773 and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
7774 when it is available. The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
7775 by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS. At the moment reliable piped
7776 logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]
7778 *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
7779 meets_conditions(). This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
7780 handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
7781 the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.
7782 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding] PR#895
7784 *) Changes to mod_log_config to allow naming of format strings.
7785 Format nicknames are defined with "LogFormat fmt nickname", and can
7786 be used with "LogFormat nickname" and "CustomLog logtarget nickname".
7789 *) New module, "mod_speling", which can help find files even when
7790 the URL is slightly misspelled. [Martin Kraemer, Alexei Kosut]
7792 *) API: New function child_terminate() triggers the child process to
7793 exit, while allowing the child finish what it needs to for the
7794 current request first.
7795 [Doug MacEachern, Alexei Kosut]
7797 *) Windows now defaults to using full status reports with mod_status.
7798 [Alexei Kosut] PR #1094
7800 *) *Really* disable all mod_rewrite operations if the engine is off.
7801 Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
7802 weren't supposed to be. [Ken Coar] PR #991
7804 *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
7805 the time. Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
7806 show when the child has made forward progress. The parent samples this
7807 counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
7808 progress has been made in the timeout period. This reduces the static
7809 request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29. This scheme is only
7810 used by systems with memory-based scoreboards. [Dean Gaudet]
7812 *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
7813 to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote. [Marc Slemko] PR#1024
7815 *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support
7816 directory. This script allows you to do things such as
7817 "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
7820 *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
7821 simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
7824 *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
7825 an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
7826 external libraries. [Ken Coar]
7828 *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
7829 other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
7830 offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
7831 authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
7832 http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
7833 mod_auth_sql option in the near future.
7835 *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]
7837 *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
7838 Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.
7840 *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
7841 of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
7842 cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]
7844 *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
7845 avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings. It is intended to hold
7846 the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable). An
7847 update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
7848 appropriate. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]
7850 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
7851 deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN. The previous
7852 behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
7853 This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
7854 stop working. [Marc Slemko] PR#817
7856 *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
7857 verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
7858 the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
7859 on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
7860 of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]
7862 *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
7863 errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]
7865 *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
7866 converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
7867 slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
7868 correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]
7870 *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
7871 Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel <amarkel@encore.com>
7872 Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill <sborrill@xemplar.co.uk>
7874 *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
7875 configured and running" entry in the error_log. Also build an
7876 object file at link-time that contains the current time
7877 (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
7880 *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
7881 This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
7882 the proxy. [Marc Slemko] PR#659
7884 *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the
7885 scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
7886 mod_status to see current server snapshot.
7888 *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
7889 independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
7890 moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
7891 [David J. MacKenzie]
7893 *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
7894 to log. This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
7895 such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]
7897 *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
7898 Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles. The old behavior
7899 of replacing a newline after <title> with a space causes the
7900 title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]
7902 *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.
7903 [David J. MacKenzie]
7905 *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
7906 files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]
7908 *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
7909 new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
7910 (*that's* new). [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352
7912 *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
7913 the server to use mmap() for static files. There are two
7914 compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
7915 required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
7916 number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
7917 default 32768). [Dean Gaudet]
7919 *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
7920 the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect. It is
7921 useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
7922 the headers/contents of the request. It does not run during subrequests
7923 because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
7924 request. [Dean Gaudet]
7926 *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
7927 each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
7930 *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened. This
7931 allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
7934 *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
7935 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
7937 *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
7938 accept. In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
7939 locking were used. The method is chosen by the definition of
7940 USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h. xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
7941 and FLOCK for flock(). New options have been added:
7942 - SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
7943 - PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
7944 - USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
7945 Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
7947 - Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
7948 - Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
7949 - IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
7950 work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
7951 [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec@vtcom.fr>,
7952 Martijn Koster <m.koster@pobox.com>]
7954 *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
7955 mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use. But
7956 in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
7957 redundant to serialize accept(). Not all unixes do a good job with
7958 potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
7959 socket. It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
7960 the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
7961 and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
7962 [Dean Gaudet] PR#467
7964 *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
7965 some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
7966 the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
7967 available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
7968 now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
7969 We no longer default to -O2 optimization. [Jim Jagielski]
7971 *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
7972 module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
7973 Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own
7974 directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can
7975 create one. Modules can add compiler or library information to
7976 generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]
7978 *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in
7979 modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
7980 code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]
7982 *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
7985 *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
7986 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
7987 relative paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
7988 and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]
7990 *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
7991 N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
7992 components in the filename of an object.
7994 To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
7995 - Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
7996 <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
7997 character. For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
7998 match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
7999 like "/home/bob/public_html". This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
8000 - It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
8002 - Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.
8006 *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
8007 and corrupted paths. [Dean Gaudet]
8009 *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
8010 First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
8011 be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
8012 strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
8013 parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
8014 via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
8015 strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
8016 through the use of backreferences.
8017 Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
8018 code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function.
8019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8021 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
8022 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
8023 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
8025 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
8026 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
8029 *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
8030 has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
8031 Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
8032 - the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
8033 - the matching process now is:
8034 - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
8036 - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
8037 - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
8038 name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
8039 *only on name-based vhosts*
8040 - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
8041 [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins@sugarat.net>]
8043 *) dbmmanage overhaul:
8044 - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new
8045 - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
8046 GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
8047 - provide better seed for rand
8048 - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
8050 - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
8051 - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
8053 - added `check' command to check a users' password
8054 - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or
8055 dbm files exported with `view'
8056 - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
8059 *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
8060 the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
8061 for its sockets. bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket(). There
8062 was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
8063 registered cleanup. [Dean Gaudet]
8065 *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
8068 *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
8069 [Jason Venner <jason@idiom.com>] PR#667
8071 *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
8072 the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
8073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8075 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
8076 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
8078 *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
8079 SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
8080 for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]
8082 *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
8083 (courtesy of Paul Sutton). BrowserMatch* directives are still
8084 available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
8085 UnSetEnvIfZero directives. [Ken Coar]
8087 *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
8088 order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
8089 REMOTE_HOST). The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
8092 *) mod_access overhaul:
8093 - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
8094 and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
8095 - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config time.
8096 - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
8097 the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
8098 - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
8099 no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
8100 doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
8101 hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
8102 without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
8105 *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
8106 while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
8107 the large write and the buffer into a single writev(). (This is
8108 in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
8111 *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
8112 Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block. Cleaned
8113 up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c. Fixed
8114 a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
8115 of a response to be unduly delayed. [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]
8117 *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure. This is called
8118 once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s
8119 e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
8120 [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]
8122 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
8123 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
8126 *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
8127 in some cases, but not in others. It now avoids it in all cases.
8130 *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
8131 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>] PR#904
8133 *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
8134 [Alexander L Jones <alex@systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732
8136 *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
8137 by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
8138 or descending order. Just click on the column header. [Ken Coar]
8140 *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
8141 CPUs like the Alpha. Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
8142 the relatively safe direction. [Dean Gaudet] PR#344
8144 *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
8145 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh@mail.wplus.net>] PR#683
8147 *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
8148 listening socket. [Dean Gaudet]
8150 *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
8151 spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
8152 doubling each second. It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
8153 since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
8154 setting. The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
8155 the maximum. [Dean Gaudet]
8157 *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
8158 CGI scripts. This means that data will be sent to the client
8159 as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
8160 buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
8161 could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
8162 or output a complete buffer. It is no longer necessary to use an
8163 "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output. Given that most CGIs are written
8164 in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
8165 shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.
8167 "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
8168 without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
8169 HTTP/1.1 or SSL support. As such they would have had to implement
8170 the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
8171 to work properly in certain situations. Now, the only difference
8172 between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
8173 [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]
8175 *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
8176 bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
8177 switch. [Dean Gaudet]
8179 Changes with Apache 1.3a1
8181 *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
8182 if a specified library exists. [Jim Jagielski]
8184 *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
8185 [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes@aw.sgi.com>]
8188 *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
8189 functions such as accept(), and getsockname(). The definition
8190 NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]
8192 *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
8193 and -lcrypt. Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
8194 mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included. [Dean Gaudet]
8196 *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
8197 [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh@mail.wplus.net>]
8199 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
8200 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
8201 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
8202 [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875
8204 *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
8205 match the init() declaration. Update mod_example to use the new
8208 *) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
8211 *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
8212 REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
8213 [Kenichi Hori <ken@d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815
8215 *) Support the image map format of FrontPage. For example:

8220 ["Darren O'Shaughnessy" <darren@aaii.oz.au>] PR#846
8222 *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
8223 the output of mod_info. ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl@usi.utah.edu>]
8225 *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
8226 addresses. Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
8227 names to be qualified by redirection.
8228 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>]
8230 *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
8231 header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
8234 *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
8235 3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
8236 URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
8237 redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
8238 braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
8239 no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
8240 mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
8241 an empty query string via "xxx?".
8242 This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
8243 i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
8244 exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
8245 the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and
8246 no longer maintains an external version.
8247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8249 *) API: Added child_init function to module structure. This is called
8250 once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
8251 See http_config.h for more details. [Dean Gaudet]
8253 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
8254 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868
8256 *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
8257 processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
8260 *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
8261 string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=). [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41
8263 *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
8264 settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
8265 src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile). [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834
8267 *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
8268 directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
8269 if there is one. If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
8270 [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]
8272 *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
8273 LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
8274 compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
8275 [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]
8277 *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
8278 This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
8279 from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
8280 trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files. Note that if
8281 you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
8282 indexing then you'll want to add:
8284 Module autoindex_module mod_autoindex.o
8286 before mod_dir in your Configuration. [Dean Gaudet]
8288 *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
8289 [Dean Gaudet] PR#525
8291 *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
8292 giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
8293 and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
8296 *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
8297 ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl@usi.utah.edu>]
8299 *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
8300 of a file if the extension is unknown. Based on the unix file(1)
8301 command. [Ian Kluft <ikluft@cisco.com>]
8303 *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
8304 request if desired. [Jim Jagielski]
8306 *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
8307 main httpd process's PID. [Jim Jagielski]
8309 *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
8310 nmake -f Makefile.nt
8311 Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]
8313 *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
8314 potentially misleading "File Not Found". [Ken Coar]
8316 *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
8317 for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
8318 enable it. [Linus Torvalds]
8320 *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
8321 avoid needless string counting. Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
8322 and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
8323 The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
8324 work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
8327 *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
8328 to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
8329 [Dean Gaudet] PR#372
8331 *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
8332 module list. [Dean Gaudet]
8334 *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
8335 unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit. This is
8336 particularly important for high volume sites with a large
8337 HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
8338 and are now O(n). See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
8339 httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]
8341 *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
8342 busy sockets to starve other sockets of service. [Dean Gaudet]
8344 *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
8345 (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
8348 *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
8349 the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
8350 compile time. The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
8351 would without sfio compiled in.
8354 *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
8355 usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
8356 selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
8359 *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
8360 will work with Netscape dbm files. (dbmmanage will probably not
8361 work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr@netmatic.com>] PR#444
8363 *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
8364 passed to listen(). Also change the default to 511 from 512.
8367 *) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
8368 request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
8369 how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]
8371 *) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
8372 so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]
8374 *) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
8377 *) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
8378 aggressively try to kill off specific children. For fastcgi.
8379 [Stanley Gambarin <gambarin@OpenMarket.com>]
8381 *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields. [Marc Slemko]
8383 *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
8384 When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
8385 attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags. [Ken Coar]
8387 *) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added. [Jim Jagielski]
8389 *) PORT: Added Windows NT support
8390 [Ben Laurie and Ambarish Malpani <ambarish@valicert.com>]
8392 Changes with Apache 1.2.6
8394 *) mod_include when using XBitHack Full would send ETags in addition to
8395 sending Last-Modifieds. This is incorrect HTTP/1.1 behaviour.
8396 [Dean Gaudet] PR#1133
8398 *) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
8399 gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
8400 actually be reached via that port/addr. [Ed Korthof <ed@organic.com>]
8402 *) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
8403 properly. [Ed Korthof <ed@organic.com>]
8405 *) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
8408 *) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
8409 and mod_include.c. [Dean Gaudet]
8411 *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
8414 *) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
8415 [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich@tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]
8417 *) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a
8418 request body, the body has to be read from the net before allowing
8419 a keepalive session to continue. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399
8421 *) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
8422 the docs for LockFile. [Dean Gaudet]
8424 *) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with
8425 multiple occurrences of the same key. [Stephen Scheck
8426 <sscheck@infonex.net>, Ben Laurie] PR#1604
8428 *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
8429 cases. [Ben Reser <breser@regnow.com>] PR#1366
8431 *) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
8432 in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500
8434 *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
8435 Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
8436 source of so many misdirected bug reports. [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]
8438 *) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
8439 header, not an error, but a waste.
8440 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1683
8442 *) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.
8443 [Ronald.Tschalaer@psi.ch] PR#1599, PR#1666
8445 *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
8446 htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
8447 at the 256th byte as well. Fixed. [Dean Gaudet]
8449 *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
8452 *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
8453 the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
8454 mod_include). [Dean Gaudet]
8456 *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
8457 some ports. [Ralf Engelschall]
8459 *) Fix MPE compilation error in mod_usertrack.c. [Mark Bixby]
8461 *) Quote CC='$(CC)' to improve recurse make calls. [Martin Kraemer]
8463 *) Avoid B_ERROR redeclaration on sysvr4 systems. [Martin Kraemer]
8465 Changes with Apache 1.2.5
8467 *) SECURITY: Fix a possible buffer overflow in logresolve. This is
8468 only an issue on systems without a MAXDNAME define or where
8469 the resolver returns domain names longer than MAXDNAME. [Marc Slemko]
8471 *) Fix an improper length in an ap_snprintf call in proxy_date_canon().
8474 *) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
8475 directory listings. [Marc Slemko]
8477 *) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
8480 *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
8481 is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and
8482 htpasswd files. [Marc Slemko]
8484 *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
8485 properly null terminated. [Marc Slemko]
8487 *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
8488 possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop. This cleanup
8489 was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
8490 is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
8491 Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
8492 should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
8493 from the 1.3b3 release. Non-indentation changes to mod_include
8494 between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal. [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]
8496 *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
8497 including fixing a possible buffer overflow. This cleanup also
8498 was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the the previous note
8499 about mod_include. [Dean Gaudet]
8501 *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad
8502 permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.
8503 The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
8504 be read. This change may make some setups with unreadable
8505 htaccess files stop working. PR#817 [Marc Slemko]
8507 *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.
8508 Make it O(n). This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial

8521 *) mod_userdir was modifying r->finfo in cases where it wasn't setting
8522 r->filename. Since those two are meant to be in sync with each other
8523 this is a bug. ["Paul B. Henson" <henson@intranet.csupomona.edu>]

8535 Changes with Apache 1.2.4
8537 *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
8538 always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.

8541 *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
8542 on this platform. [Marc Slemko]
8544 Changes with Apache 1.2.3
8546 *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
8547 result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
8548 supported when ProxyRemote was used. PR#260, PR#656, PR#699, PR#713,
8549 PR#812 [Lars Eilebrecht]

8552 information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]
8554 *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
8555 do for errors and cached responses. [Roy Fielding]
8557 *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11. [Jeff Venters]
8559 Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]
8561 *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
8562 happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
8563 paths. (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
8566 *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
8567 USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
8570 *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
8571 [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]
8573 *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
8574 a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second. Otherwise
8575 the vhost can't override the main server. [Dean Gaudet] PR#717
8577 *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
8578 a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
8581 *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
8582 [Dean Gaudet] PR#748
8584 *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
8585 endif. It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
8588 *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
8589 mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
8590 o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
8591 minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
8593 - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
8594 - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string

8598 - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
8599 - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
8600 o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
8601 o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
8602 find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
8603 o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
8604 o fixed a few comment typos
8605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8607 *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
8608 [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868
8610 *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
8611 begin with. "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients. Added
8612 "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
8613 Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
8614 a deficiency in the header_parse phase.

8631 *) PORT: The slack fd changes in 1.2.1 introduced a problem with SIGHUP
8632 under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1). It has been fixed.
8633 [Dean Gaudet] PR#832
8635 *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
8636 is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
8637 of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding. Therefore, our default
8638 handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
8639 what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
8640 next request on a persistent connection. discard_request_body()
8641 has been added to take care of that. [Roy Fielding] PR#378
8643 *) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
8644 release version number, such that it always increases along the
8645 same lines as our source code branching. [Roy Fielding]
8647 *) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed. [Paul Sutton] PR#94
8649 Changes with Apache 1.2.1
8651 *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
8652 symlinks, or directories. This prevents local users from using pipes
8653 or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of

8657 could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
8658 the system. No slashes are allowed now. [Dean Gaudet]
8660 *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
8661 (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
8662 mod_cern_meta (meta files). [Dean Gaudet]
8664 *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
8665 BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time. [Dean Gaudet]
8667 *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
8668 if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks. This is contrary
8669 to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
8670 options of the parent directory. [Dean Gaudet] PR#353
8672 *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
8673 lockfile in any location. It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
8674 [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
8677 *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
8678 body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
8679 not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]
8681 *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
8682 makes. [Marc Slemko]
8684 *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.

8691 handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
8692 solaris libc). On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
8693 descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line). Solaris users
8694 can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
8695 which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255. On all systems
8696 this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
8697 log files more feasible. If this causes trouble please report it,
8698 you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
8699 [Dean Gaudet] various PRs
8701 *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
8702 log files are opened. The only known case where this can cause
8703 problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
8704 directives. But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
8705 work around this problem. [Dean Gaudet]
8707 *) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
8710 *) Improved unix error response logging. [Marc Slemko]
8712 *) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6. New ruleflag
8713 QSA=query_string_append. Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
8714 when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special

8759 *) Proxy needs to use hard_timeout instead of soft_timeout when it is
8760 reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
8761 a custom timeout handler. [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]
8763 *) Fixed problem on IRIX with servers hanging in IdentityCheck,
8764 apparently due to a mismatch between sigaction and setjmp.
8765 [Roy Fielding] PR#502

8768 or if we received a request-line that was too long to process (414).

8771 *) Virtual hosts with the same ServerName, but on different ports, were
8772 not being selected properly. [Ed Korthof]
8774 *) Added code to return the requested IP address from proxy_host2addr()
8775 if gethostbyaddr() fails due to reverse DNS lookup problems. Original
8776 change submitted by Jozsef Hollosi <hollosi@sbcm.com>.
8777 [Chuck Murcko] PR#614
8779 *) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
8780 data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
8781 scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
8782 causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.

8785 *) The OS/2 handling of process group was broken by a porting patch for
8786 MPE, so restored prior code for OS/2. [Roy Fielding and Garey Smiley]

8789 given for VirtualHost. [Dean Gaudet] PR#576

8792 has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
8793 negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
8794 [Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]
8796 *) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
8797 loop would try to read another request even though the connection
8798 has been aborted. [Roy Fielding]
8800 *) Configure changes: Allow for whitespace at the start of a
8801 Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
8802 CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
8803 flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]
8805 *) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
8806 original request-line. [Roy Fielding]
8808 *) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
8809 we don't want the error message to include those fields. Likewise,
8810 reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
8811 before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
8812 message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]
8814 *) Restored the semantics of headers_out (headers sent only with 200..299
8815 and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
8816 Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
8817 (the usual case). [Roy Fielding]
8819 *) Fixed a couple places where a check for the default Content-Type was
8820 not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
8821 directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h. Changed the value
8822 of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).

8825 *) Escape the HTML-sensitive characters in the Request-URI that is
8826 output for each child by mod_status. [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar] PR#501
8828 *) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
8829 around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
8832 *) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
8833 (and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
8834 the CGI script filename. The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
8835 been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
8836 script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
8837 This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
8838 in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
8841 *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
8842 that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
8843 But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
8844 forms of <VirtualHost>. It requires such configs to be modified
8845 to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>. The documentation has been
8846 updated. [Dean Gaudet] PR#530
8848 *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
8849 generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
8850 body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
8851 message body again. [Rob Hartill]

8854 other platforms). Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#512

8874 *) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
8875 changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release. [Roy Fielding]
8877 *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
8878 the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop). Apache will now stop
8879 trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.
8880 [Roy Fielding and Nathan Kurz] PR#335
8882 *) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
8883 than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;

8893 *) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include. Tune
8894 memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to
8895 be allocated. [Dean Gaudet]
8897 *) Allow suexec to access files relative to current directory but not
8898 above. (Excluding leading / or any .. directory.) [Ken Coar]
8901 *) Fix suexec segfault when group doesn't exist. [Gregory Neil Shapiro]
8902 PR#367, 368, 354, 453

8905 while obtaining the /~user and save the username in a separate data
8906 area so that it won't be overwritten by the call to getgrgid(), and

8925 *) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
8926 buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
8927 then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373
8929 *) Work around a bug in Netscape Navigator versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.0b2's
8930 parsing of headers. If the terminating empty-line CRLF occurs starting
8931 at the 256th or 257th byte of output, then Navigator will think a normal
8932 image is invalid. We are guessing that this is because their initial
8933 read of a new request uses a 256 byte buffer. We check the bytes written
8934 so far and, if we are about to tickle the bug, we instead insert a
8935 padding header of eminent bogosity. [Roy Fielding and Dean Gaudet] PR#232

8938 of an external redirection. [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]

8941 contained a commented-out Rule. [Roy Fielding]
8943 *) Promote per_dir_config and subprocess_env from the subrequest to the
8944 main request in mod_negotiation. In particular this fixes a bug
8945 where <Files> sections wouldn't properly apply to negotiated content.

8960 1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8. For 2.x we include
8961 USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
8962 HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).

8990 Changes with Apache 1.2b8
8992 *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
8993 to it. [Marc Slemko]

8997 the special cases directly. [Dean Gaudet]
8999 *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
9000 signal is received. [Ken Coar]

9003 spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
9004 are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
9005 about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues. NO_LINGCLOSE is
9006 now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX. [Roy Fielding]

9009 log instead of stderr. [Roy Fielding]

9020 full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
9021 as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403). [Roy Fielding]

9030 spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
9031 event of an error. Correct problems where errno was stomped on
9032 before being reported. [Dean Gaudet]
9034 *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
9035 never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
9036 We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
9037 didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
9038 transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]

9041 Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
9042 the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
9043 We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
9044 ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
9045 while not overriding those that are not reserved. [Roy Fielding]
9047 *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
9048 to reflect above changes. [Petr Lampa]
9050 *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
9051 connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
9052 of the server has already indicated that we should not. Also
9053 improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
9054 be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
9055 is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
9056 responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
9057 accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]
9059 *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
9060 and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
9061 resulted in a process being stuck in write forever. Using soft_timeout
9062 requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
9063 continuing after an EINTR. Timeouts that used to be initiated before
9064 send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
9065 around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
9066 propagate above the caller. [Roy Fielding]
9068 *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
9071 *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
9072 name-based vhosts. This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
9073 info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
9076 *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
9077 new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]
9079 *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
9080 name given when running the Configure process. [Dean Gaudet]
9082 *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
9083 initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]
9085 *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
9086 file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]
9088 *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]
9090 *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
9091 to explain the virtual host matching process. [Dean Gaudet]
9093 *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
9094 fails while parsing the configuration file. [Dean Gaudet]
9096 *) Improved calls to setsockopt. [Roy Fielding]
9098 *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
9099 Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
9100 no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
9101 [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]
9103 *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
9104 mod_negotiation. [Dean Gaudet]
9106 *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
9107 charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
9108 listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default. [Petr Lampa]
9110 *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
9111 when nalloc==0. [Kai Risku <krisku@tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]
9113 *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
9116 *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
9119 *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
9120 due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]
9122 *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
9123 since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]
9125 *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
9126 not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
9127 [Ken Coar] PR #146, #187
9129 *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
9130 in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191
9132 *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
9133 [Garey Smiley] PR #59
9135 *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
9136 path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40
9138 *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
9139 and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
9140 other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
9141 with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]
9143 *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
9144 AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
9145 redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
9146 RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
9147 special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
9148 can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
9149 time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9151 *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
9152 Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
9153 place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
9154 with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
9155 in use. [Ben Laurie]
9157 *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
9158 initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
9159 comparisons. [Randy Terbush]
9161 *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
9162 caused a SEGV on some systems.
9164 *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
9167 *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]
9169 *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
9170 introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
9171 [Dean Gaudet] PR #212
9173 Changes with Apache 1.2b7
9175 *) Port to UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom@yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]
9177 *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]
9179 *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
9180 - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
9181 - save variant-list into main request notes
9182 - free allocated memory from subrequests
9183 - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out
9185 *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
9186 "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
9189 *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
9190 - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
9191 - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
9192 - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
9193 - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
9194 specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
9195 on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
9196 perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
9197 - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
9200 *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
9201 after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
9204 *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
9205 character if the next character is one that needs
9206 escaping. [Ben Laurie]
9208 *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
9209 used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
9210 [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno@tc.hsa.nl>]
9212 *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
9213 one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300. [Marc Slemko]
9215 *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
9216 print (null) instead. [Ken Coar]
9218 *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
9219 [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
9221 *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
9222 read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]
9224 *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
9225 read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
9226 the socket is not connected (reset by client). [Roy Fielding]
9228 *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
9229 select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
9230 checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
9231 account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
9232 prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
9233 socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
9234 EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
9235 improved readability. [Roy Fielding]
9237 *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
9238 auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
9239 and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]
9241 *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
9242 server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]
9244 *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
9245 - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
9246 - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
9247 - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
9248 - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable
9250 *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
9253 *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
9254 since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
9255 [Harald T. Alvestrand]
9257 *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
9258 [Ben Laurie, reported by geddis@tesserae.com]
9260 *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
9261 http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
9262 [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]
9264 *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
9265 as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
9266 [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]
9268 *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
9269 due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
9270 it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]
9272 *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
9273 sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
9274 SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
9275 [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]
9277 *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better(). This was
9278 causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
9279 wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]
9281 *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
9282 the clean environment on some systems.
9284 *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
9285 bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
9286 Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
9289 *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]
9291 *) Port to HP MPE operating system for HP 3000 machines
9292 [Mark Bixby <markb@cccd.edu>]
9294 *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
9295 given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]
9297 *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]
9299 *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
9300 until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
9301 This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
9302 an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
9303 performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
9304 many bflush() calls as possible. NOTE: Platforms without writev()
9305 must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
9306 or Configure, unless we have already done so. [Dean Gaudet]
9308 *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]
9310 *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
9311 fixes. [Dean Gaudet]
9313 *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
9314 for the special case of a 304 response. [Paul Sutton]
9316 *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
9317 and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
9320 *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]
9322 *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]
9324 Changes with Apache 1.2b6
9326 *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]
9328 *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
9329 accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
9330 1.2b5 was never a public beta.
9332 Changes with Apache 1.2b5
9334 *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
9335 MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]
9337 *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
9338 regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
9341 *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
9342 Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]
9344 *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
9345 scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
9346 defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
9348 *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
9351 *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
9352 overflows. [Marc Slemko]
9354 *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
9355 as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]
9357 *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
9360 *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
9361 to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
9362 continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/
9364 *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
9365 than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]
9367 *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
9370 *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
9371 CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]
9373 *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
9376 *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
9377 when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
9380 *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
9381 recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
9382 be replaced with this version. [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
9384 - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
9385 directory and below.
9386 - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
9387 - restrict passed environment to known variables
9388 - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
9389 - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)
9391 *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]
9393 *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]
9395 *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]
9397 *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().
9399 *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
9400 MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
9401 problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]
9403 *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
9404 AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]
9406 *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
9407 It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]
9409 *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
9412 *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
9413 caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
9414 handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
9415 Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]
9417 *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]
9419 *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]
9421 *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.
9423 *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
9424 server config files. [Alexei Kosut]
9426 *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
9427 found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]
9429 *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
9430 double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
9431 status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]
9433 *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
9434 interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
9435 that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
9436 we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
9437 prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks. Also improves
9438 reporting of error conditions. [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]
9440 *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
9441 [mgyger@itr.ch, Adrian Filipi-Martin]
9443 *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
9444 select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
9445 [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from adrian@virginia.edu]
9447 *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
9448 continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
9449 would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
9450 count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
9451 are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]
9453 *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
9454 Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
9455 Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]
9457 *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]
9459 Changes with Apache 1.2b4
9461 *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
9462 could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
9463 overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
9466 *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]
9468 *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
9469 defined for some systems.
9471 *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
9474 *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
9475 style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]
9477 *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
9478 execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]
9480 *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]
9482 *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.
9484 Changes with Apache 1.2b3:
9486 *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
9487 freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]
9489 *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]
9491 *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
9494 *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]
9496 *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
9497 ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]
9499 *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
9500 currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
9501 control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
9502 those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
9503 allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
9506 *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
9507 the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]
9509 *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]
9511 *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
9512 1. symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
9513 2. initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
9514 3. CGI command lines paramters problems
9515 4. pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
9516 [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]
9518 *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
9519 a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
9520 argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]
9522 *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
9523 handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]
9525 *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.
9527 *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
9528 r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
9531 *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
9532 Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]
9534 *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
9535 using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]
9537 *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
9538 by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
9542 *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
9543 PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
9544 Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
9545 [later removed in 1.2b11]
9547 *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
9548 arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]
9550 *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?
9552 *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
9553 NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]
9555 *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
9556 redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
9557 in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]
9559 Changes with Apache 1.2b2:
9561 *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
9562 This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
9563 bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]
9565 *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]
9567 *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]
9569 *) proxy_http.c bugfixes: [Chuck Murcko]
9570 1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
9571 2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
9572 host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
9573 and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
9574 3) Adds Host: header when not available
9575 4) Some code cleanup and clarification
9577 *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
9578 1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
9579 be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
9580 2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
9581 3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [perrot@lal.in2p3.fr]
9582 4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
9583 [Ben Yoshino <ben@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
9584 5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
9587 *) Fix infinite loop when processing Content-language lines in
9588 type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]
9590 *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]
9592 *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
9593 for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]
9595 *) Added PORTING information file. [Jim Jagielski]
9597 *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]
9599 *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]
9601 *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
9602 USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.
9604 *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
9605 which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.
9607 *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
9608 http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]
9610 *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
9611 and portable isdigit() test. [Ben Laurie]
9613 *) Updated Configure for ...
9614 OS/2 (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
9615 *-dg-dgux* (bad pattern match)
9616 QNX (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
9617 *-sunos4* (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
9620 and added some user diagnostic info. [Ben Laurie]
9622 *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
9623 for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]
9625 *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
9626 SCO 5 (recognize minor releases)
9627 SCO UnixWare (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
9628 SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
9629 IRIX64 (-sgi-irix64)
9630 ULTRIX (-unknown-ultrix)
9631 SINIX (-whatever-sysv4)
9632 NCR Unix (-ncr-sysv4)
9633 and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath [Ben Laurie]
9635 Changes with Apache 1.2b1
9637 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>
9639 Changes with Apache 1.1.1
9641 *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
9642 logfile for each access [Mark Cox]
9644 *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
9645 leak. [Nathan Neulinger]
9647 *) MultiViews now works correctly with AddHandler [Alexei Kosut]
9649 *) Problems with mod_auth_msql fixed [Dirk vanGulik]
9651 *) Fix misspelling of "Anonymous_Authorative" directive in mod_auth_anon.
9653 Changes with Apache 1.1.0
9655 *) Bring NeXT support up to date. [Takaaki Matsumoto]
9657 *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]
9659 *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
9660 [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]
9662 *) Allow ScanHTMLTitles to work with lowercase <title> tags. [Alexei Kosut]
9664 *) Fix missing address family for connect, also remove unreachable statement
9665 in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]
9667 *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.
9669 *) Bugs which were fixed:
9670 a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
9671 b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
9672 c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [osm@interguide.com]
9673 d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [jk@tools.de]
9675 Changes with Apache 1.1b4
9677 *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]
9679 *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]
9681 *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.
9683 *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.
9685 *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
9688 *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]
9690 *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.
9692 *) Actions now work with files of the default type.
9694 *) Bugs which were fixed:
9695 a) more mod_proxy bugs
9696 b) early termination of inetd requests
9697 c) compile warnings on several systems
9698 d) problems when scripts stop reading output early
9700 Changes with Apache 1.1b3
9702 *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
9703 various security holes found and that we could no longer support
9706 *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
9707 instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
9708 Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]
9710 *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
9713 *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.
9714 (No crypto needed) Also a NoCache config directive.
9716 *) Several API additions: pstrndup(), table_unset() and get_token()
9717 functions now available to modules.
9719 *) mod_imap fixups, in particular Location: headers are now complete
9722 *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
9723 special URL, a la mod_status.
9725 *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
9726 for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.
9728 *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.
9730 *) MSQL authentication module improvements.
9732 *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]
9734 *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication
9737 *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
9738 less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
9739 value. [Alexei Kosut]
9741 *) Bugs which were fixed:
9742 a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
9743 b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
9744 c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
9745 d) RefererIgnore problems
9746 e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
9747 Linux and elsewhere).
9749 Changes with Apache 1.1b2
9752 a) core dumps in mod_digest
9753 b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
9754 c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files
9756 Changes with Apache 1.1b1
9758 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>
9760 Changes with Apache 1.0.3
9762 *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
9763 query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
9766 *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
9767 directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
9770 *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]
9772 *) Fix for POSIX compliance in waiting for processes in alloc.c.
9775 *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]
9777 *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
9778 This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
9779 send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
9782 *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
9783 lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]
9785 *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
9786 now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
9787 which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]
9789 *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]
9791 *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
9792 which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled
9794 *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
9797 *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
9798 particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]
9800 *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]
9802 Changes with Apache 1.0.2
9804 *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
9805 a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]
9807 *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
9810 *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
9811 setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
9812 broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
9813 for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.
9815 *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
9818 *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]
9820 *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
9821 one. [David Robinson]
9823 *) Add support for SCO 5. [Ben Laurie]
9825 Changes with Apache 1.0.1
9827 *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
9830 *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
9831 and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
9832 relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]
9834 *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
9835 had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
9836 initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
9839 *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
9840 out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
9841 The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
9842 be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
9843 system failure. [Ben Laurie]
9845 *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]
9847 Changes with Apache 1.0.0 23 Nov 1995
9849 *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>
9851 Changes with Apache 0.8.16 05 Nov 1995
9853 *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]
9855 *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
9856 given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
9857 back-compatibility [Robert Thau]
9859 *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
9860 generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
9861 accept() on the same socket. This should cure flaky behavior on
9862 a lot of those systems. [David Robinson]
9864 *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
9865 extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]
9867 *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
9868 "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
9869 that this didn't work. [David Robinson]
9871 *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]
9873 *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]
9875 *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
9876 to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
9879 *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
9880 parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility. [David Robinson]
9882 *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
9885 *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
9887 *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
9888 in redirects [David Robinson]
9890 Changes with Apache 0.8.15 14 Oct 1995
9892 *) Switched to new, simpler license
9894 *) Eliminated core dumps with improperly formatted DBM group files [Mark Cox]
9896 *) Don't allow requests for ordinary files to have PATH_INFO [Ben Laurie]
9898 *) Reject paths containing %-escaped '%' or null characters [David Robinson]
9900 *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
9903 *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]
9905 *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
9906 so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root. [Andrew
9909 *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
9912 *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]
9914 *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
9917 *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
9918 entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]
9920 *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
9923 *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
9924 containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]
9926 *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]
9928 *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]
9930 *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]
9932 *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]
9934 *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]
9936 *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]
9938 *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]
9940 *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]
9942 *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
9945 Changes with Apache 0.8.14 19 Sep 1995
9947 *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]
9949 *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]
9951 *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
9952 privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]
9954 *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
9955 that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
9958 *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
9959 is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]
9961 *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]
9963 Changes with Apache 0.8.13 07 Sep 1995
9965 *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]
9967 *) Have built-in imagemap code recognize & honor Point directive [James
9970 *) Generate cleaner directory listings in directories with a mix of
9971 long and short filenames [Rob Hartill]
9973 *) Properly initialize dynamically loaded modules [Royston Shufflebotham]
9975 *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]
9977 *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
9978 Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]
9980 *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
9981 allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
9982 if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]
9984 *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
9985 on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]
9987 *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
9990 *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]
9992 *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
9993 [Tobias Weingartner]
9995 Changes with Apache 0.8.12 31 Aug 1995
9997 *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
9998 too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
9999 subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
10000 after the entire document has been processed). [Robert Thau]
10002 *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off. (Ooops). [David Robinson]
10004 *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]
10006 *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
10007 same directory [David Robinson]
10009 *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
10010 causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
10011 *particular* index.html file) to fail. [David Robinson]
10013 *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
10014 authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
10015 client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
10016 needed here yet). [Robert Thau]
10018 *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]
10020 *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]
10022 *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
10023 requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
10024 do RFC931. [David Robinson]
10026 *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
10029 *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]
10031 *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]
10033 Changes with Apache 0.8.11 24 Aug 1995
10035 *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work. [Robert Thau]
10037 *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
10039 *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
10040 the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
10041 up to it. [Robert Thau]
10043 *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
10044 in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]
10046 *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
10047 "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
10049 *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
10050 other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
10052 *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
10053 [Florent Guillaume]
10055 *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
10056 --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
10057 (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
10058 icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
10061 *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
10064 *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
10067 *) Fixed English in the license language... "for for" --> "for".
10070 *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
10071 mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
10072 adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
10073 to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
10074 ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
10075 NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
10078 Changes with Apache 0.8.10 18 Aug 1995
10080 *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
10081 subdirectories. [David Robinson]
10083 *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
10084 using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
10085 not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
10086 if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
10087 lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris. [David Robinson;
10088 thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].
10090 Changes with Apache 0.8.9 12 Aug 1995
10092 *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]
10094 *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
10095 for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
10096 which try to print out the last-modified date). [Eric Hagberg/Robert
10099 *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
10100 URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
10101 else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility. (Note that
10102 this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
10103 code just by asking for it). [Robert Thau]
10105 *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
10108 *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
10109 then going insane [David Robinson]
10111 *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
10113 *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]
10115 *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
10116 workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
10117 if you still want the workaround). [Rob Hartill]
10119 *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
10120 content negotiation. (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
10121 for the new HTTP draft). [Florent Guillaume]
10123 *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]
10125 *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]
10127 *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
10130 *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
10131 paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]
10133 *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
10136 *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
10137 it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
10138 workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
10139 alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
10140 [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]
10142 *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]
10144 *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include. [Brian
10145 Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]
10147 *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]
10149 *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]
10151 *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]
10153 Changes with Apache 0.8.8 08 Aug 1995
10155 *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
10156 requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
10157 people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
10160 (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
10161 SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
10162 -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES. Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
10163 with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
10166 *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
10167 to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.
10169 Changes with Apache 0.8.7 03 Aug 1995
10171 *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
10172 [reported by David Robinson]
10174 *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]
10176 *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
10177 experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
10180 Changes with Apache 0.8.6 02 Aug 1995
10182 *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
10183 (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
10184 couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]
10186 *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
10187 GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
10188 [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]
10190 *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala". [Reported by Chuck Murcko]
10192 *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
10193 not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
10194 and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable). On
10195 all other systems, these are never used anyway. [Reported by Mark Cox].
10197 *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.
10199 Changes with Apache 0.8.5 01 Aug 1995
10201 *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module
10203 *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
10204 properly. (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).
10206 *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
10207 It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
10208 If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
10209 comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
10210 spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).
10212 *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.
10214 *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX. A/UX is *weird*. [Eric Hagberg,
10217 *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].
10219 *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script. [Alexei Kosut]
10221 *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
10222 *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
10223 fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]
10225 *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
10226 legal disclaimer (everyplace).
10228 *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
10229 of everywhere else.
10231 Changes with Apache 0.8.4
10233 *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
10234 StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
10235 parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
10236 MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
10237 back-compatibility). The old names were generally regarded as
10238 too confusing. Also altered "docs" in sample config files.
10240 *) More improvements to default config files ---
10241 sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
10242 CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
10243 defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
10244 improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]
10246 *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
10247 Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
10248 [ Florent Guillaume ]
10250 *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
10253 *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
10254 do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
10257 *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]
10259 Changes with Apache 0.8.3
10261 *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
10262 procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
10265 *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
10266 recent NCSA distributions.
10268 *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
10269 exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault. [Reported
10272 *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]
10274 *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.
10276 *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
10277 preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
10278 reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]
10280 *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
10281 dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]
10283 *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
10284 instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
10285 deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address). Would be
10286 nice to have examples of new features...
10288 Changes with Apache 0.8.2 19 Jul 1995
10290 *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]
10292 *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found. [Mark Cox]
10294 *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory. It would
10295 be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
10296 just punt. [reported by Brian Behlendorf]
10298 *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
10299 is gone and we can reopen it. [reported by Randy Terbush]
10301 *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration
10303 *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
10306 *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
10307 module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
10308 an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]
10310 *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]
10312 *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]
10314 *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]
10316 *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
10319 Changes with Apache 0.8.1
10321 *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]
10323 *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
10324 [Matthew Gray again]
10326 *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
10327 [Florent Guillaume]
10329 Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2) 16 Jul 1995
10331 *) New config script. See INSTALL for info. [Robert Thau]
10333 *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
10334 processes. MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
10335 for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different. (Actually,
10336 I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).
10338 Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
10339 the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
10340 connection. If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
10341 off. Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
10342 looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
10343 if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one. This
10344 does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
10345 The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
10346 /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
10347 descriptor (they need to seek without interference).
10349 The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
10350 servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
10351 off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
10352 these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
10353 reverting to the overhead of full forking operation. There is a
10354 hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
10355 avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
10356 (This is arguably too high).
10358 In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
10359 impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
10360 scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
10361 overhead than tmpfs). [Robert Thau]
10363 *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
10366 *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
10367 (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
10370 *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
10371 than trying to send no body *and* no headers. [Cliff Skolnick].
10373 *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
10374 mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
10375 handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
10376 but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
10379 *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
10380 it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
10381 up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]
10383 *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
10384 sa_client around; just declare it where used. [Robert Thau]
10386 *) Another acc-related fix. (It doesn't like const char
10387 in some places...). [Mark Cox]
10389 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1 13 Jul 1995
10391 *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
10392 Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.
10394 *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]
10396 *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
10397 over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
10398 believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
10399 a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*. Even *my*
10400 compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
10401 required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.
10403 *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
10404 servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
10405 [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].
10407 *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
10408 finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]
10410 Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0 10 Jul 1995
10412 *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft. soft_timeout()s just put
10413 the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
10414 allow whatever handlers are running to clean up. hard_timeout()s
10415 abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
10416 resource pool cleanup will leak. They're still around because I
10417 haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
10418 timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client. The
10419 default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
10420 so I can test the feature. [Robert Thau]
10422 *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there. Note that
10423 the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
10424 gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
10425 the server will hang. (It is known to correctly restart the
10426 logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
10427 the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
10428 script). [Robert Thau]
10430 *) asis files supported (new module). [Robert Thau]
10432 *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested. (I
10433 don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]
10435 *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
10436 came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]
10438 *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]
10440 *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
10441 as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]
10443 *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
10444 the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]
10446 *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
10447 How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]
10449 *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
10450 default default type); the former default default behavior when all
10451 type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump. [Paul Sutton]
10453 *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
10454 directories. (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
10455 memory area every time). Fix is in mod_dir.c. [Paul Sutton]
10457 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]
10459 *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
10460 if the file was not found. [Cliff Skolnick].
10462 *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
10463 code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
10464 handler). [Cliff Skolnick]
10466 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2 06 Jul 1995
10468 *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
10469 games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
10470 children. Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
10471 the whole process group with them. Potential problem --- if any
10472 child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
10473 MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
10474 better than it did before this! [Robert Thau]
10476 *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
10477 work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
10478 properly terminated. [Mark Cox]
10480 *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
10481 should [Paul Sutton].
10483 *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
10484 Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]
10486 Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1 04 Jul 1995
10488 *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
10489 registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
10490 tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
10491 terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
10494 *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
10495 which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
10496 registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
10497 child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->. CGI children now get
10498 started with exactly three file descriptors open. Hopefully,
10499 this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
10500 CGI connections. [Robert Thau]
10502 *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
10503 required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
10504 by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
10505 This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
10506 flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
10507 flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.
10509 This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
10510 process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
10511 on the other systems. [Robert Thau]
10513 *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]
10515 *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]
10517 *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]
10519 *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
10520 be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
10523 *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
10524 string) even if none came in with the request. [Robert Thau]
10526 *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).
10528 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5
10530 *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
10531 *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
10532 invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
10533 *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and
10534 configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
10535 "patchy server" releases) [rst]
10537 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4 30 Jun 1995
10539 *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
10540 *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]
10542 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3
10544 *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
10545 synonymous [rst, terbush]
10547 Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1 28 Jun 1995
10549 *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
10550 reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
10551 *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
10552 allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
10553 be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
10554 find). Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools. [rst]
10555 *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
10556 *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
10557 *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]
10559 Changes with Shambhala 0.3 19 Jun 1995
10561 *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
10562 *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
10563 *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
10564 *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
10567 Changes with Shambhala 0.2
10569 *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
10570 *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
10571 *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures
10573 *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
10574 functions together [rst]
10575 *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
10577 *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]
10579 Changes with Shambhala 0.1 12 Jun 1995
10581 Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
10582 Robert Thau (rst). Significant portions of the server code, such
10583 as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
10584 were ripped out and rewritten from scratch. Code that was not
10585 completely rewritten was significantly altered.
10587 Major changes with this release include:
10589 *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central
10590 machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
10591 most of the work. Configuration handling is similar --- modules
10592 declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
10593 dispatches to them.
10595 API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
10596 Apache 1.0 and 1.1. (1.0 API features not yet present in this
10597 release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
10598 subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
10601 *) This release included the following modules:
10603 mod_access (access control --- allow and deny directives),
10604 mod_alias (Alias and Redirect commands),
10605 mod_auth (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
10606 mod_auth_dbm (same, with dbm files)
10607 mod_cgi (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
10608 mod_common_log (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
10609 mod_dir (directory indexing)
10610 mod_include (server-side includes)
10611 mod_mime (AddType directives)
10612 mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
10613 mod_userdir (support for users' public_html directories)
10615 It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
10616 for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.
10618 All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional
10619 or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
10620 Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).
10622 *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
10623 modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
10624 serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
10625 and mod_negotiation).
10627 *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
10628 files opened in service of a particular request. Much of the
10629 code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to
10630 replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
10631 the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
10632 allocated with palloc().
10634 *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
10635 request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome
10636 unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to
10637 attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
10638 --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
10639 setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).
10641 *) Source files renamed and rearranged
10643 *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a
10644 fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.
10646 *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.
10648 This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
10649 Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
10650 codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.
10652 Changes with Apache 0.7.3 20 Jun 1995
10654 *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
10655 were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
10656 worked on the Shambhala rewrite above. Most were merged into the
10657 Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
10659 Changes with Apache 0.6.4 13 May 1995
10661 *) Patches by Rob Hartill, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert Thau,
10664 Changes with Apache 0.5.1 10 Apr 1995
10666 Changes with Apache 0.4 02 Apr 1995
10668 *) Patches by Brian Behlendorf, Andrew Wilson, Robert Thau,
10671 Changes with Apache 0.3 24 Mar 1995
10673 *) Patches by Robert Thau, David Robinson, Rob Hartill, and
10676 Changes with Apache 0.2 18 Mar 1995
10678 *) Based on NCSA httpd 1.3 by Rob McCool and patches by CERT,
10679 Roy Fielding, Robert Thau, Nicolas Pioch, David Robinson,
10680 Brian Behlendorf, Rob Hartill, and Cliff Skolnick.
