explicitly (options).

I took Ralf's README.DSO, HTMLized it, and put it here, a more appropriate
place than in the root-level of the distribution. Now we can link to it, too.
Also, Ralf, I removed the section on execution order differences between
static and dynamically linked modules, since you committed a patch which
makes this behavios consistant with all-staticly-linked.

Slightly improve the grammar; however, in my opinion this whole chunk can just
be tossed out of the FAQ. I can't believe we're actually asked "how can I make
only one file executable?".
This should help folks trying to understand vhosts. It adds the command
line option -S which dumps a description of how apache parsed the vhost
directives. In particular it'd really help the folks who recently ran
into /etc/hosts mismatches with DNS.

Although mod_mmap_static is an experimental module it works fine and already
is distributed with Apache it was not prepared the same way as the other
modules. Hence let us give it a first cut for a documentation and an

Modify the licence clauses for 1.3 to prohibit derived packages
from claiming to be "Apache" without the AG's permission. (Always
the intent, I believe, but previously not explicit enough.)
Hopefully this will help deter further dilution of the brand.

In particular, mark mod_dll as obselete, add Windows information and

for Unix users, since most of the description applies to all systems).

- The "merging" optimization in mod_setenvif did not deal with
SetEnvIfNoCase properly; and it used strcmp() to compare header
names when it should use strcasecmp().
- Change the merging optimization so that it only considers the most
recent setenvif for merging. This means that mod_setenvif will
consider all directives in the order they appear in the config file.
- Document that mod_setenvif considers directives in the order they
appear, and give an example use.

Ops, we have totally mis-documented the %{LA-U:xxx} and %{LA-F:xxx}
constructs, thus no one noticed that it can be used to lookup the REMOTE_USER
variable (one of the mod_rewrite FAQs) even in per-server context. One just
has to use %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} instead of %{REMOTE_USER} there. Notice that
%{REMOTE_USER} is also useful, but only for per-dir context.
First part to fix the synchronization-locking for RewriteMap programs under

But we perhaps have another problem: According to FreeBSD's manpage and a hint

which are _not_ duplicated via fork(). This currently is not the case...

Add the new RewriteMap types `rnd' and `int' to mod_rewrite to allow Apache to
be used as a Reverse Proxy (where the backend servers are choosen via a `rnd'
map) and to allow mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections (where
you have to fix the case of server names when translating the Host-Header to a
directory structure).
Together with the comitted ProxyPassReverse directive we now have solved
two things the users have asked in the past:
1. The ability to use Apache as a full-featured Reverse Proxy
2. The ability to do mass virtual hosting without <VirtualHost> sections.
For both topics we should write stand-alone documents (perhaps inside
htdocs/manual/misc/) because they are not trivial to do, even when we now have
the functionality ;-)
