- checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
- when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
- proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set

-
- *) cache: retire ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out() which was used
- for both in- and out-put headers; and replace it by a single
- ap_cache_cacheable_headers() wrapped in a in- and out-put
- specific ap_cache_cacheable_headers_in()/out(). The latter
- which will also merge error and ensure content-type. To keep
- cache modules consistent with ease. This API change bumps
- up the minor MM by one [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
-
- *) Move the KeptBodySize directive, kept_body filters and the
- ap_parse_request_body function out of the http module and into a
- new module called mod_request, reducing the size of the core.

- Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the

- [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different
- attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.
- [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests
- with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to
- original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
- with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
- providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.
- Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration
- which can accept additional mode and flag data. [Chris Darroch]
-
- *) Introduced ap_expr API for expression evaluation.
- This is adapted from mod_include, which is the first module
- to use the new API.

- AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use

-
- *) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information
- to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
- as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
- mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
- [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]
-
- *) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)
- for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct

- using referrals without the use of the global catalog.
- PRs 26538, 40268, and 42557 [Paul J. Reder]

-
- *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
- into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
- mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
-
- *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
- value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
- may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
- weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]

-
- *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
- open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
- directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
- to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
- and format messages for both the console and the error log, as

-
- *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
- configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.

-
- *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
- into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide

- [Brad Nicholes]
-
- *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
- add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'

- [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
-
- *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
-
- *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
- the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
- This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
- of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
- indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
