Smith , Jeff Trawick] *) APR-Util Renames pending have been completed [Thom May] *) Performance improvements for the code that reads request headers (ap_rgetline_core() and related functions) [Brian Pane] *) Add a new directive: MaxMemFree. MaxMemFree makes it possible to configure the maximum amount of memory the allocators will hold on to for reuse. Anything over the MaxMemFree threshold will be free()d. This directive is useful when uncommon large peaks occur in memory usage. It should _not_ be used to mask defective modules' memory use. [Sander Striker] *) Fixed the Content-Length filter so that HTTP/1.0 requests to CGI scripts would not result in a truncated response. [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley] *) Add a filter_init parameter to the filter registration functions so that a filter can execute arbitrary code before the handlers are invoked. This resolves a problem where mod_include requests would incorrectly return a 304. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Fix a long-standing bug in 2.0, CGI scripts were being called with relative paths instead of absolute paths. Apache 1.3 used absolute paths for everything except for SuExec, this brings back that standard.

Add the config for that to the default config file so that it is easier to enable .shtml parsing. [Dave Dyer ] *) Fixed a problem with 'make install' on ReliantUnix. [Jean-frederic Clere ] *) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory is requested, there is no DirectoryIndex, and mod_autoindex isn't loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files. PR 9866 [Brian Pane] *) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install into a directory different from the one that was configured. This also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=, because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix to replace.

[Jeff Trawick] *) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist to work on systems with perl 5.6.

[Ian Holsman] *) mod_dav now asks its provider to place content directly into the filter stack when handling a GET request. The mod_dav/provider API has changed, so providers need to be updated. [Greg Stein] *) Clear the output socket descriptor in unixd_accept() to make sure we don't supply a bogus socket to the caller if the accept fails. This caused problems with the worker MPM, which tried to process the returned socket if it was non-NULL. [Brian Pane] *) Move a check for an empty brigade to the start of core input filter to avoid segfaults. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick] *) Add FileETag directive to allow configurable control of what data are used to form ETag values for file-based URIs. MMN bumped to 20020111 because of fields added to the end of the core_dir_config structure. [Ken Coar] *) Fix a segfault in mod_rewrite's logging code caused by passing the wrong config to ap_get_remote_host(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Allow mod_cgid to work from a binary distribution install by using 755 for the permissions on the log directory instead of 750. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fixed a segfault that happened during graceful shutdown (or when the httpd ran out of file descriptors) with the worker MPM [Brian Pane] *) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core, mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule directives. [William Rowe] *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe] *) mod_ssl adjustments to help with using toolkits other than OpenSSL: Use SSL functions/macros instead of directly dereferencing SSL structures wherever possible. Add type-casts for the cases where functions return a generic pointer. Add $SSL/include to configure search path. [Madhusudan Mathihalli ] *) Moved several pointers out of the shared Scoreboard so it is more portable, and will present the vhost name across server generation restarts. [William Rowe] *) Fix SSLPassPhraseDialog exec: and SSLRandomSeed exec: [Doug MacEachern] Changes with Apache 2.0.30 *) Fix the main bug for FreeBSD and threaded MPM's. There are still issues (see STATUS) but at least the server will now run without crashing the machine. [David Reid, Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz] *) Fix a typo in mod_deflate's m4 config section. [albert chin ] *) Fix a couple of mod_proxy problems forwarding HTTP connections and handling CONNECT: (1) PR #9190 Proxy failed to connect to IPv6 hosts. (2) Proxy failed to connect when the first IP address returned by the resolver was unreachable but a secondary IP address was. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix the module identifer as shown in the docs for various core modules (e.g., the identifer for mod_log_config was previously listed as config_log_module). PR #9338 [James Watson ] *) Fix LimitRequestBody directive by placing it in the HTTP filter. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Fix mod_proxy seg fault when the proxied server returns an HTTP/0.9 response or a bogus status line. [Adam Sussman] *) Prevent mod_proxy from truncating one character off the end of the status line returned from the proxied server. [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard] *) Eliminate loop in ap_proxy_string_read(). [Adam Sussman, Bill Stoddard] *) Provide $0..$9 results from mod_include regex parsing. [William Rowe] *) Allow mod-include to look for alternate start & end tags [Ian Holsman] *) Introduced the ForceLanguagePriority directive, to prevent returning MULTIPLE_CHOICES or NONE_ACCEPTABLE in some cases, when using Multiviews. [William Rowe] *) Fix a problem which prevented mod_cgid and suexec from working together reliably [Greg Ames] *) Remove the call to exit() from within mod_auth_digest's post_config phase. [Aaron Bannert] *) Fix a problem in mod_auth_digest that could potentially cause problems with initialized static data on a system that uses DSOs. [Aaron Bannert] *) Fix a segfault in the worker MPM that could happen during child process exits. [Brian Pane, Aaron Bannert] *) Allow mod_auth_dbm to handle multiple DBM types [Ian Holsman] *) Fix matching of vhosts by ip address so we find IPv4 vhost address when target address is v4-mapped form of that address. [Jeff Trawick] *) More performance tweaks to the BNDM string-search algorithm used to find "" is the last byte in a file [Brian Pane] *) Add back in the "suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /path/to/suexec)" message that we had back in apache-1.3 and still have scattered throughout our docs. [Aaron Bannert] *) Prevent the Win32 port from continuing after encountering an error in the command line args to apache. [William Rowe] *) On a error in the proxy, make it write a line to the error log [Ian Holsman] *) Various mod_ssl performance improvements [Doug MacEachern] Changes with Apache 2.0.29 *) Add buffering in core_output_filter to ensure that long lists of small buckets don't cause small packet writes. [Brian Pane, Ryan Bloom] *) Fix the installation target to make sure that the manual is installed in the correct location. [Yoshifumi Hiramatsu and Gomez Henri ] *) Fix the cmd command for mod_include. When we are processing a cmd command, we do not want to use the r->filename to set the command name. The command comes from the SSI tag. To do this, I added a variable to the function that builds the command line in mod_cgi. This allows the include_cmd function to specify the command line itself. [Ryan Bloom] *) Change open_logs hook to return a value, allowing you to flag a error while opening logs [Ian Holsman, Doug MacEachern] *) Change post_config hook to return a value, allowing you to flag a error post config [Ian Holsman, Jeff Trawick] *) Allow SUEXEC_BIN (the path to the suexec binary that is hard-coded into the server) to be specified to the configure script by the --with-suexec-bin parameter. [Aaron Bannert] *) Fix segv in worker MPM following accept on pipe-of-death [Brian Pane] *) Add mod_deflate to experimental. [Ian Holsman, Justin Erenkrantz] *) Bail out at configure time if an invalid MPM was specified. [jean-frederic clere ] *) Prevent segv in ap_note_basic_auth_failure() when no AuthName is configured [John Sterling ] *) Fix apxs to use sbindir. [Henri Gomez ] *) Fix a problem with IPv6 vhosts. PR #8118 [Jeff Trawick] *) Optimization for the BNDM string-search function in mod_include. [Brian Pane] *) Fixed the behavior of the XBitHack directive. [Taketo Kabe , Cliff Woolley] PR#8804 *) The threaded MPM for Unix has been removed. Use the worker MPM instead. [various] *) APR-ize the resolver logic in mod_unique_id. This fixes a bug in logging the error from a failed DNS lookup. [Jeff Trawick] *) Added the missing macros AP_INIT_TAKE13 and AP_INIT_TAKE123. [Cliff Woolley] *) Get mod_cgid killed when a MPM exits due to a fatal error. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a file descriptor leak in mod_include. When we include a file, we use a sub-request, but we didn't destroy the sub-request immediately, instead we waited until the original request was done. This patch closes the sub-request as soon as the data is done being generated. [Brian Pane ] *) Allow modules that add sockets to the ap_listeners list to define the function that should be used to accept on that socket. Each MPM can define their own function to use for the accept function with the MPM_ACCEPT_FUNC macro. This also abstracts out all of the Unix accept error handling logic, which has become out of synch across Unix MPMs. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a bug which would cause the response headers to be omitted when sending a negotiated ErrorDocument because the required filters were attached to the wrong request_rec. [John Sterling ] *) Remove commas from the end of the macros that define directives that are used by MPMs. Prior to this patch, you would use these macros without commas, which was unlike the macros for any other directives. Now, the caller provides the comma rather than the macro providing it. This makes the macros look more like the rest of the directives. [Ryan Bloom and Cliff Woolley] *) Add 'redirect-carefully' environment option to disable sending redirects under special circumstances. This is helpful for Microsoft's WebFolders when accessing a directory resource via DAV methods. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Begin to abstract out the underlying transport layer. The first step is to remove the socket from the conn_rec, the server now lives in a context that is passed to the core's input and output filters. This forces us to be very careful when adding calls that use the socket directly, because the socket isn't available in most locations. [Ryan Bloom] *) Really reset the MaxClients value in worker and threaded when the configured value is not a multiple of the number of threads per child. We said we did previously but we forgot to. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add Debian layout. [Daniel Stone ] *) If shared modules are requested and mod_so is not available, produce a fatal config-time error. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Improve http2env's performance by cutting the work it has to do. [Brian Pane ] *) use new 'apr_hash_merge' function in mod_mime (performance fix) [Brian Pane ] Changes with Apache 2.0.28 *) Fix infinite loop in mod_cgid.c. [Dale Ghent , Brian Pane ] *) When no port is given in a "ServerName host" directive, the server_rec->port is now set to zero, not 80. That allows for run-time deduction of the correct server port (depending on SSL/plain, and depending also on the current setting of UseCanonicalName). This change makes redirections work, even with https:// connections. As in Apache-1.3, the connection's actual port number is never used, only the ServerName setting or the client's Host: setting. Documentation updated to reflect the change. [Martin Kraemer] *) Add a '%{note-name}e' argument to mod-headers, which works in the same way as mod_log_confg. [Ian Holsman] *) Fix the spelling of the AP_MPMQ_MIN_SPARE_DAEMONS and AP_MPMQ_MAX_REQUESTS_DAEMON macros in ap_mpm.h and all standard MPMs. [Cliff Woolley] *) Introduce htdbm, a user management utility for db/dbm authorization databases. [Mladen Turk ] *) Optimize usage of strlen and strcat in ap_directory_walk. [Brian Pane ] Changes with Apache 2.0.27 *) Introduce an Apache mod_ssl initial configuration template (ssl.conf, generated from ssl-std.conf). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed a memory leak in the getline parsing code that could be triggered by arbitrarily large header lines. Requests from the core input filter for single lines are now limited to HUGE_STRING_LEN (8192 bytes). [Aaron Bannert] *) Fix a truncation bug in how we print the port on the Via: header. The routine that prints the Via: header now takes a length for the port string. [Zvi Har'El ] *) Some syntax errors in mod_mime_magic's magic file can result in a 500 error, which previously was unlogged. Now we log the error. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add the support/checkgid helper app, which checks the run-time validity of group identifiers usable in the Group directive. [Ken Coar] *) Various --enable-so options have been fixed: --enable-so is treated as "static"; explicit --enable-so=shared issues an error; and explicit --enable-so fails with error on systems without APR_HAS_DSO. [Aaron Bannert] *) Fix a segfault in the core input filter when the client socket gets disconnected unexpectedly. [Cliff Woolley] *) Fix the reporting for child processes that die. This removes all of the non-portable W* macros from Apache. [Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom] *) Win32: Track and display "Parent Server Generation:" in mod_status output. The generation will be bumped at server graceful restart, when the child process exits by hitting MaxRequestsPerChild or if the child process exits abnormally. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: Fix problem where MaxRequestsPerChild directive was not being picked up in favor of the default. Enable the parent to start up a new child process immediately upon the old child starting shutdown. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix some bungling of the remote port in rfc1413.c so that IdentityCheck retrieves the proper user id instead of failing and thus always returning "nobody." [Dick Streefland ] *) Introduced thread saftey for mod_rewrite's internal cache. [Brian Pane ] *) Simplified mod_env's directives to behave as most directives are expected, in that UnsetEnv will not unset a SetEnv and PassEnv directive following that UnsetEnv within the same container. Also provides a runtime startup warning if a PassEnv configured environment value is undefined. [William Rowe] *) The worker MPM is now completely ported to APR's new lock API. It uses native APR types for thread mutexes, cross-process mutexes, and condition variables. [Aaron Bannert] *) Sync up documentation to remove all references to the now deprecated Port directive. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Moved all ldap modules from the core to httpd-ldap sub-project [Ryan Bloom] *) Exit when we can't listen on any of the configured ports. This is the same behavior as 1.3, and it avoids having the MPMs to deal with bogus ap_listen_rec structures. [Jeff Trawick] *) Cleanup the proxy code that creates a request to the origin server. This change adds an optional hook, which allows modules to gain control while the request is created if the proxy module is loaded. The purpose of this hook is to allow modules to add input and/or output filters to the request to the origin. While I was at it, I made the core use this hook, so that proxy request creation uses some of the code from the core. This can still be greatly improved, but this is a good start. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.26 *) Port the MaxClients changes from the worker MPM to the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix mod_proxy so that it handles chunked transfer-encoding and works with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Introduce the MultiviewsMatch directive, to allow the operator to be flexible in recognizing Handlers and Filters filename extensions as part of the Multiviews matching logic, strict with MultiviewsMatch NegotiatedOnly to accept only filename extentions that designate negotiated parameters, (content type, charset, etc.) or MultiviewsAll for the 1.3 behavior of matching any files, even if they have unregistered extensions. [William Rowe] *) Fixed the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled as a DSO. [Aaron Bannert ] *) rewrite mod_ssl input filtering to work with the new input filtering system. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) prefork: Don't segfault when we are able to listen on some but not all of the configured ports. [Jeff Trawick] *) Build mod_so even if no core modules are built shared. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Introduce ap_directory_walk rewrite (with further optimizations required) to adapt to the ap_process_request_internal() changes. Optimized so subrequests and redirects now reuse previous section merges, until we mismatch with the original directory_walk, and precomputed r->finfo results will cause directory_walk to skip the most expensive phases of the function. [William Rowe] *) Allow ApacheMonitor to connect to and control Apache on other WinNT/2K machines. [Mladen Turk ] *) Remove the Port directive. In it's place, the Listen directive is now a required directive, which tells Apache what port to listen on. The ServerName directive has also been extended to accept an optional port. If the port is specified to the ServerName, the server will report that port whenever it reports the port that it is listening on. This change was made to ease configuration errors that stem from having a Port directive, and a Listen directive. In that situation, the server would only listen to the port specified by the Listen command, which caused a lot of confusion to users. [Ryan Bloom] *) Added mod_mime_magic, mod_unique_id and mod_vhost_alias to the Win32 build, as loadable modules. [William Rowe] *) Fix --enable-mods-shared processing. If most is specified, then all modules that can be compiled as shared modules are. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Update the mime.types file to map video/vnd.mpegurl to mxu and add commonly used audio/x-mpegurl for m3u extensions. [Heiko Recktenwald , Lars Eilebrecht] *) Eliminate the depreciated r->content_language, in favor of the array r->content_languages introduced many years ago. Module authors must substantially overhaul their modules, so this needs to be upgraded if the module still relied on backwards-brokeness. [William Rowe] *) Allow configure help strings to work with autoconf 2.50+ and 2.13. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Rewrite the input filtering mechanisms to consolidate and reorganize code. In short, core_input_filter does something now and ap_http_filter is now only concerned with HTTP. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Update the Win32 build to re-absorb mod_proxy and family. [William Rowe] *) Resolved the build failure on Win32 using MSVC 5.0 (without the current SDK.) [William Rowe] *) Some style changes to the code that does ProxyErrorOverride. Fixed config merge behaviour. [Graham Leggett] *) Allow support programs to be compiled against a static version of libapr. This allows the smaller support programs to be relocated. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as of 2001-09-25, and add mapping for xsl extension [Mark Cox] *) Fix MaxClients in the Worker MPM, so that it specifies the maximum number of clients that can connect at the same time, instead of specifying the maximum number of child processes. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Switch proc_pthread AcceptMutex configuration directive to pthread to be consistent with 1.3. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Cache apr_explode_localtime() value for 15 seconds. [Brian Pane ] *) Fix mod_include to not return ETag or Last-Modified headers. [Ian Holsman ] *) Fix worker MPM's scoreboard logic. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Eliminate the wasteful run-time conversion of method names from strings to numbers in places where the methods are known at compile time. [Brian Pane ] *) Turn the worker MPM's queue into a LIFO. This may improve cache-hit performance under some conditions. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that support it. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Cleanup the worker MPM. We no longer re-use transaction pools. This incurs less overhead than shuffling the pools around so that they can be re-used. Remove one of the queue's condition variables. We just redefined the API to state that you can't try to add more stuff than you allocated segments for. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Fix SSL VPATH builds [Cody Sherr ] *) Fixed persistent connections when a request contains a body. [Greg Stein] *) mod_dav uses a new API to speak to the backend provider for dead property management. [Greg Stein] *) Remove the Win32 script-processing exception from mod_cgi, and roll build_command_line/build_argv_list into a unified, overrideable ap_cgi_build_command optional function. [William Rowe] *) Rewrite find_start_sequence to use a better search algorithm to find the start tag. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Fix a seg fault in mod_include. When we are generating an internal redirect, we must set r->uri to "", not a bogus string, and not NULL. [Ryan Bloom] *) Optimized location_walk, so subrequests, redirects and second passes now reuse previous section merges on a by basis, until we mismatch with the original location_walk. [William Rowe] *) Back out the 1.45 change to util_script.c. This change made us set the environment variable REQUEST_URI to the redirected URI, instead of the originally requested URI. [Taketo Kabe ] *) Make mod_include do lazy evaluation of potentially expensive to compute variables. [Brian Pane ] *) Fix logging of bytes sent for HEAD requests. %b and %B should log either - or 0, before this patch, they were both logging the file size. [Taketo Kabe ] *) Make mod_include check for BYTE_CHECK_THRESHOLD per bucket rather than per character. [Brian Pane ] *) Normalize the primary request, redirects and sub-requests to run the same ap_process_request_internal for consistency in robustness, behavior and security. [William Rowe] *) Fix a segfault with mod_include when r->path_info is not set (which is the case with mod_proxy). [Ian Holsman ] *) Add -X functionality back. This indicates to all MPMs and any other part of Apache that it should run in "debug" mode. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Some initial support for the cygwin platform [prefork only]. This is not to be confused with support for the WinNT/Win32 platform, which is the recommended configuration for native Win32 users. The cygwin platform support is recommended for cygwin platform users. [Stipe Tolj ] *) Changed syntax of Set{Input|Output}Filter. The list of filters must be semicolon delimited (if more than one filter is given.) The Set{Input|Output}Filter directive now overrides a parent container's directive (e.g. SetInputFilter in will override any SetInputFilter directive in .) This new syntax is more consistent with Add{Input|Output}Filter directives defined in mod_mime. Also cures a bug in prior releases where the Set{Input|Output}Filter directive would corrupt the global configuration if the multiple directives were nested. [William Rowe] *) Cured what's ailed mime for quite some time. If an AddSomething was given in the configuration (Language, Charset, Handler or Encoding) Apache would set the content type as given by AddType, but refused to check the mime.types file if AddType wasn't given for that specific extension. Setting the AddHandler for .html without setting the AddType text/html html would cause Apache to use the default content type. [William Rowe] *) Added some bulletproofing to memory allocation in the LDAP cache code. [Graham Leggett] Changes with Apache 2.0.25 *) Move the installed /manual directory out of the /htdocs/ tree, so that it can be kept more independently from the remaining document root. The "Alias /manual ..." already allowed for easy projection into existing private document trees. [Martin Kraemer] *) Add specified user attributes to the environment when using mod_auth_ldap. This allows you to use mod_include to embed specified user attributes in a page like so: Hello , how are you? [Graham Leggett] *) Fix a performance problem with the worker MPM. We now create transaction pools once, and re-use them for each connection. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Modfied mod_mime to prevent mod_negotation from serving a multiview of a 'handler' or 'filter', so that any filename extension that does not contribute to the negotiated metadata can't be served without an explicit request. E.g., if the .Z extension is associated with an unzip filter, the user request somefile.Z.html, mod_negotiation won't serve it. It can serve somefile.Z.html when somefile.Z is requested, since the .Z extension is explictly requested, if the .html extension is associated with ContentType text/html. [William Rowe] *) Introduce the AddInputFilter filter[;filter...] ext [ext...] and corresponding AddOutputFilter syntax, to insert one or more filters by mod_mime filename extension processing. [William Rowe] *) Fix a growing connection pool in core_output_filter() for keepalive requests. [Jeff Trawick] *) Moved split_and_pass_pretag_buckets back to being a macro at Ryans's request. Removed the return from it by setting and returning a return code instead. Updated the code to check the return code from the macro and do the right thing. [Paul J. Reder] *) Fix a segfault when a numeric value was received for Host:. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add a function ap_remove_input_filter. This is to match up with ap_remove_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom] *) Clean up location_walk, so that this step performs a minimum amount of redundant effort (it must be run twice, but it will no longer reparse all blocks when the request uri hadn't changed.) [William Rowe] *) Eliminate proxy: (and all other 'special') processing from the ap_directory_walk() phase. Modules that want to use special walk logic should refer to the mod_proxy map_to_location example, with it's proxy_walk and proxysection implementation. This makes either directory_walk flavor much more legible, since that phase only runs against real blocks. [William Rowe] *) SECURITY: Fix a security problem in mod_include which would allow an SSI document to be passed to the client unparsed. [Cliff Woolley, Brian Pane] *) Introduce the map_to_storage hook, which allows modules to bypass the directory_walk and file_walk for non-file requests. TRACE shortcut moved to http_protocol.c as APR_HOOK_MIDDLE, and the directory_walk/file_walk happen as APR_HOOK_VERY_LAST in core.c. [William Rowe] *) Add the ability for mod_include to add the INCLUDES filter if the file is configured for the server-parsed handler. This makes the configuration for .shtml files much easier to understand, and allows mod_include to honor Apache 1.3 config files. Based on Doug MacEachern's patch to PHP to do the same thing. [Ryan Bloom] *) force OpenSSL to ignore process local-caching and to always get/set/delete sessions using mod_ssl's callbacks [Madhusudan Mathihalli , Geoff Thorpe ] *) Make the worker MPM shutdown and restart cleanly. This also cleans up some race conditions, and gets the worker using pools more cleanly. [Aaron Bannert ] *) Implement CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() in terms of apr_lock for mod_ssl [Madhusudan Mathihalli ] *) Fix for mod_include. Ryan's patch to check error codes put a return in the wrong place. Also, the include handler return code wasn't being checked. I don't like macros with returns, so I converted SPLIT_AND_PASS_PRETAG_BUCKETS into a function. [Paul J. Reder ] *) fix segv in mod_mime if no AddTypes are configured [John Sterling ] *) Enable ssl client authentication at SSL_accept time [Madhusudan Mathihalli ] *) Fix a segfault in mod_include when the original request has no associated filename (e.g., we're filtering the error document for a bad URI). [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick] *) The prefork and OS/2 MPMs are overwriting the pid file when a second copy of httpd is started and shuts down due to socket conflict. Moving the call to ap_log_pid solves the problem. *) Changed the late-1.3 log_config substitution %c to %X, to log the status of the closed connection, as it conflicts with the far more common, historical ssl logging directive %...{var}c. [William Rowe] *) Added the common error/ tree to the build/install targets (similar to the common icons/ tree) for the multi-language error messages that Lars committed earlier. [William Rowe] *) Added a multi process, multi threaded OS/2 MPM mpmt_os2. [Brian Havard] *) Added a default commented-out mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap configuration to httpd-std.conf and httpd-win.conf [Graham Leggett] *) Added documentation for mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap. [Graham Leggett] *) Enabled negative caching on attribute comparisons in the LDAP cache. Fixed a problem where the default cache TTL was set in milliseconds not microseconds causing the cache to time out almost immediately. [Graham Leggett] *) Fixed all the #if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY checks within the LDAP module code to follow APR. [Graham Leggett] *) Fixed LDAP cleanup on graceful restarts. LDAP connections are now cleaned up when the connection pool pool is cleaned up. [Graham Leggett] *) Fix a minor issue with Jeff Trawick's mod_include patch. Without this patch, the code will just allocate more bytes in get_combined_directive than are needed. [Paul Reder] *) Added the LDAP authentication module mod_auth_ldap. [Dave Carrigan , Graham Leggett] *) Added the LDAP cache and connection pooling module mod_ldap. [Dave Carrigan , Graham Leggett] *) Fix --enable-modules=all breakage with mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest by allowing a module to disable itself if its prerequisites are not met. [Justin Erenkrantz] Changes with Apache 2.0.24 *) Fix a couple of issues in mod_include when the tag appeared at offsets near 8192 in the file being parsed. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix an assertion failure in mod_ssl when the keepalive timeout is reached. [Jeff Trawick] *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 build system. Introduced command line builds without requiring .mak files for MSVC 6.0 and later versions. Improved .dsp file compatibility for both Visual Studio 5.0 and 6.0 users. [William Rowe] *) Assorted corrections and improvements to the winnt_mpm startup code. Better reporting of uninstalled services and other error conditions, and changed the default service name to Apache2. [William Rowe] *) Numerous improvements to the Win32 ApacheMonitor utility, including winnt_mpm compatibility with existing Apache 1.3 Win32 Apache management utilites. [Mladen Turk , William Rowe] *) Fixed the segfaults in mod_mime introduced by hash tables in 2.0.20. [William Rowe, Greg Ames] *) Rounded out the mod_mime Add/Remove pairs by adding RemoveLanguage and RemoveCharset directives. [William Rowe] *) The Unix MPMs other than perchild now allow child server processes to use the accept mutex when starting as root and using SysV sems for the accept mutex. Previously, this combination would lead to fatal errors in the child server processes. perchild can't use SysV sems because of security issues. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] *) Added Win32 revision stamp resources to all http binaries (including modules/ and support/ tools.) PR7322 [William Rowe] *) Fix ap_rvprintf to support more than 4K of data at one time. [Cody Sherr ] *) We have always used the obsolete/deprecated Netscape syntax for our tracking cookies; now the CookieStyle directive allows the Webmaster to choose the Netscape, RFC2109, or RFC2965 format. The new CookieDomain directive allows the setting of the cookie's Domain= attribute, too. PR #s 5006, 5023, 5920, 6140 [Ken Coar] *) Tweak server/Makefile so that the rules for generating exports.c are compatible with make utilities which don't expand wildcards in a dependency list (e.g., OS/390 make, certain levels of GNU make). [Jeff Trawick] *) Install the SSL headers. [John Sterling ] *) Begin to sanitize the MPM configuration directives. Now, all MPMs use the same functions for all common MPM directives. This should make it easier to catch all bugs in these directives once. [Cody Sherr ] *) Close a major resource leak. Every time we had issued a graceful restart, we leaked a socket descriptor. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a problem with the new method code. We need to cast the 1 to an apr_int64_t or it will be treated as a 32-bit integer, and it will wrap after being shifted 32 times. [Cody Sherr and Ryan Morgan ] *) Fix a bug in mod_expires. Previous to this patch, if you told mod_expires to add 604800 seconds to the last-modified time, it actually added 604800 usec's to the last-modified time, so that when looking at the response it looked like nothing had been done. The root of the problem was that we always compute time in usec's, but we ask users to input sec's. This means we need to convert to usec's before using those values. [Ryan Bloom] *) The worker MPM now handles shutdown and restart requests. It definitely isn't perfect, but we do stop the servers correctly. The biggest problem right now is that SIGHUP causes the server to just die. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.23 *) Use the prefork MPM by default on Unix. [various] *) Added a systray icon monitor application for Win32. [Mladen Turk ] *) mod_rewrite: Fix the line ending on some non-Unix systems for messages written to the rewrite log. [Richard Labennett ] *) All mod_autoindex query parsing is now quietly quashed with the IndexOption IgnoreClient. The IndexOption SuppressColumnSorting still drops the column sort 's for the column headers, but IgnoreClient is required to ignore these Query options entirely. [William Rowe] *) Introduced new mod_autoindex query argument parsing for F=[0|1|2] to allow the client to select plain, FancyIndexing or HTMLTable formatting, V=[0|1] to inhibit or enable version sorting, and P=pattern to return only specific files. The old Query Arguments were reorganized as C=f for sorting column 'f' (same N, D, S, or M as before), and O=A|D for ordering ascending or descending. [William Rowe] *) Fixed an error in mod_include's directive parsing routines which caused #if, #elif, and #else expressions containing backslashes to be improperly evaluated. [Cliff Woolley] *) Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags: SuppressIcon to drop the icon column, SuppressRules to drop the
elements, and HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies FancyIndexing). [William Rowe] *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [William Rowe] *) Re-introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag FoldersFirst and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10. [William Rowe, Ken Coar] *) Eliminated FancyIndexing directive, deprecated early in Apache 1.3 by the IndexOptions FancyIndexing syntax. [William Rowe] *) mod_autoindex now excludes any file names that would result in an error, other than a success or redirect. Also optimized the parent directory, always included except in the URI '/'. [William Rowe] *) Refactored mod_negotiation and mod_mime to help mod_dir accept negotiated index pages, and prevent the server from defaulting to an autoindex of the directory. mod_negotiation will now die with a 500 Internal Error if it could match some filenames (e.g. for mod_dir) but none can be served. mod_negotation now refuses to serve any file with an extention that mod_mime doesn't recognize, and wasn't part of the request. [William Rowe] *) Eliminate mod_cgi's handling of .exe files without the .exe file extension. This is already handled by multiviews, if the admin wishes to AddHandler .exe or define a content type handler and associate .exe files with that content type. Multiviews must be enabled to allow these to be served. [William Rowe] *) Speed up the server's response to a spike in incoming workload or restarts by assigning empty scoreboard slots to new processes when they are available. [Greg Ames] *) Add a handler to mod_includes.c. This handler is designed to implement the XbitHack directive. This can't be done with a fixup, because we need to check the content-type, which is only available in the handler phase. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make the includes filter check return codes from filters lower in the filter chain. If a lower level filter returns an error, then the request needs to stop immediately. This allows mod_include to stop parsing data once a lower filter recognizes an error. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add the ability to extend the methods that Apache understands and have those methods able in the httpd.conf. It uses the same bit mask/shifted offset as the original HTTP methods such as M_GET or M_POST, but expands the total bits from an int to an ap_int64_t to handle more bits for new request methods than an int provides. [Cody Sherr ] *) Fix broken mod_mime behavior in merging its arguments. Possible cause of unexplicable crashes introduced in 2.0.20. [William Rowe] *) Solve many mod_ssl porting issues (too many to detail) with help from the whole team, but most notably [Ralf S. Engelschall, Madhusudan Mathihalli , Doug MacEachern, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley] *) More stall fixes for the threaded & worker mpm's. Make mod_status output more accurate. Don't count workers in processes which aren't actively serving requests. [Greg Ames] *) Win32: Get SSI exec cgi tag working. [Bill Stoddard] *) Add a single listener/multiple worker MPM. This MPM is definately not fully correct, but it allows us to solve many of the problems that exist in the threaded MPM. This is a modified version of the threaded MPM. [Ryan Bloom] *) Improve content generation throughout Apache, providing closer compliance with HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 Transitional specifications. [William Rowe] Changes with Apache 2.0.22 *) Fix a problem where the threaded MPM stalls after restarts or segfaults. Also prevent multiple active processes from using the same scoreboard slot. [Greg Ames] *) Apache/Win32 now fills in the service description with Apache's server version string, including loaded and advertised modules. [William Rowe] *) Improved support for the Win32 build, to recover gracefully from missing apr or apr-util directories or the awk interpreter, create the proper cgi-bin examples, including a test-cgi.bat, and fix the perl shebang line for printenv.pl, when installing from the build environment. [William Rowe] *) Fix a segfault in threaded.c caused by passing uninitialized apr_thread_t * to apr_thread_join(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Use new APR number conversion functions to reduce CPU consumption when setting the content length, and in mod_log_config. [Brian Pane] *) Fix problem reported by Taketo Kabe where HEAD response headers were being repeated twice for files greater than 32K bytes (4*AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE). This problem in the http_header filter was exposed by the recent rewrite of the content_length filter. [Taketo Kabe, Bill Stoddard] *) Fix seg faults in mod_status with ExtendedStatus enabled, after restarts. A garbage pointer to a vhost's server_rec from the previous generation was being left around under certain conditions. [Greg Ames] *) Fix a cosmetic problem with mod_include. Non-existant SSI vars used to appear as '(none', without the closing paren. [Günter Knauf ] *) Improve the exports generating awk script. In the past, we had work around problems in the awk script by avoiding some #if and #ifdefs. This has bitten us many times in generating the exports.c file. This improvement allows corrects the header file parsing. [Sander Striker ] Changes with Apache 2.0.21 *) Resolve the Win32 htpasswd bug, where a file that existed would be overwritten, regardless of the -c flag. [William Rowe, Mladen Turk ] *) Introduce connection sub-pools into ab. Truncating the lifetime of these allocations means that ab no longer perpetually grows its working set, running out of memory on large request attempts. [William Rowe] *) Make scoreboard creation a hook. This allows management modules to have access to the scoreboard at the time that it is created, and at every restart request. [Cody Sherr ] *) Changed AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMONS to refer to MaxClients and added an AP_MPMQ_MAX_DAEMON_USED to refer to the highest daemon index actually used in the scoreboard. I also updated the pertinent calls. [Paul J. Reder] *) Win32: Prevent listening sockets from being inherited by the Apache child process, CGI scripts, rotatelog process etc. If the Apache child process segfaults, any processes that the child started are not reaped. Prior to this fix, these processes inherited the listening sockets which sometimes prevented the restarted Apache child process from accepting connections (ie, the server would hang). [Bill Stoddard] *) Provide vhost and request strings when ExtendedStatus is on. [Greg Ames] *) Fix some issues with the pod and prefork: check the pod *after* processing a connection so that a server processing a time- consuming request bails out as soon as practical; when the parent process wakes up a server process via connect(), use an APR timeout on the connect() so that we don't hang for a long time if there aren't server processes around to do accept(). [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] *) Performance improvement to mod_mime.c. find_ct() in mod_mime, spends a lot of time in apr_table_get calls. Using the default httpd.conf, the tables for languages and charsets are somewhat large, so the time spent scanning them on each request is significant. Replacing the tables with hash tables provides a nice speedup. [Brian Pane ] *) Add two functions to allow modules to access random parts of the scoreboard. This allows modules compiled for one MPM to access the scoreboard, even if it the server was compiled for another MPM. [Harrie Hazewinkel ] Changes with Apache 2.0.20 *) Fix problem in content-length filter where the filter would buffer all the output from a CGI before sending any bytes down the filter stack to the network. This problem would cause significant memory consumption if the CGIs generated lots of bytes. [Bill Stoddard] *) Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working with the bucket brigades. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix seg fault on Windows when serving files cached with mod_file_cache. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix a bug in the threaded MPM that would cause it to kill off all workers immediately after starting if the number of workers started was above a certain threshold. [Ryan Bloom, Bill Stoddard] Changes with Apache 2.0.19 *) Fix problem with threaded MPM. The problem was that if each child process was busy serving a single long-lived request and the server was sent a graceful restart signal, the server would stop serving requests. This would happen because each child process would wait to die until the last thread was done, and the parent wouldn't spawn any new children until a process died. Now, the parent looks at the fact that the children are dying gracefully, and starts new children. Those new children only start enough threads to compliment the number of threads in the other child process that shares the same spot in the scoreboard. In this way, we make sure to never go over MaxClients. [Ryan Bloom] *) modified mod_negotiation and mod_autoindex to speed up by almost a factor of two on apr_dir_read()-enhanced platforms, such as Win32 and OS2, by calling ap_sub_request_lookup_dirent() with the results already provided by apr_dir_read(). [William Rowe] *) mod_file_cache is now more robust to filtering and serves requests slightly more efficiently. [Cliff Woolley] *) Fix problem handling FLUSH bucket in the chunked encoding filter. Module was calling ap_rwrite() followed by ap_rflush() but the served content was not being displayed in the browser. Inspection of the output stream revealed that the first data chunk was missing the trailing CRLF required by the RFC. [Bill Stoddard] *) apxs no longer generates ap_send_http_header() in the example handler *) Fix an ab problem which could cause a divide-by-zero exception with certain invocations (e.g., ab -k -c 6 -n 100 localhost/). [Ian Holsman ] *) Solve case-insensitive platforms' confusion about negotiated filenames, allowing files of differnt case to match in choosing the document to serve. [William Rowe] *) Fix brokenness when ThreadsPerChild is higher than the built-in limit. We left ap_threads_per_child at the higher value which led to segfaults when doing certain scoreboard operations. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix seg faults and/or missing output from mod_include. The default_handler was using the subrequest pool for files and MMAPs, even though the associated APR structures typically live longer than the subrequest. [Greg Ames] *) Extend mod_setenvif to support specifying regular expressions on the SetEnvIf (and SetEnvIfNoCase) directive attribute field. Example: SetEnvIf ^TS* [a-z].* HAVE_TS will cause HAVE_TS to be set if any of the request headers begins with "TS" and has a value that begins with any character in the set [a-z]. [Bill Stoddard] *) httpd children now re-bind themselves to a random CPU on multiprocessor systems on AIX via bindprocessor() in 2.0. [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) Fix htdigest. It would go into a loop in getline when adding a second user. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32 platforms now fully support mod_userdir options. [Will Rowe] *) Automatically generate httpd.exp for AIX. DSOs now work again on AIX in 2.0 [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) Add a new request hook, error_log. This phase allows modules to act on the error log string _after_ it has been written to the error log. The goal for this hook is to allow monitoring modules to send the error string to the monitoring agent. [Ryan Bloom] *) Modify mod_echo to make it use filters for input and output. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Extend mod_headers to support conditional driven Header add, append and set. Use SetEnvIf to set an envar and conditionally add/append/set headers based on this envar thusly: SetEnvIf TSMyHeader value HAVE_TSMyHeader Header add MyHeader "%t %D" env=HAVE_TSMyHeader If the request contains header "TSMyHeader: value" then header MyHeader: "t=xxxxxxxxxx D=yyyy" will be sent on the response. [Bill Stoddard] *) Extend mod_headers to support using format specifiers on Header add, append and set header values. Two format specifiers are supported: %t - reports, in UTC microseconds since the epoch, when the request was received. %D - reports the time, in microseconds, between when the request was received and the response sent. Examples: Header add MyHeader "This request served in %D microseconds. %t" results in a header being added to the response that looks like this: MyHeader: This request served in D=5438 microseconds. t=991424704447256 [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix reset_filter(). We need to be careful how we remove filters. If we set r->output_filters to NULL, we also have to reset the connection's filters. [John Sterling] *) Optimise reset_filter() in http_protocol.c. [Greg Stein] *) Add a check to ap_die() to make sure the filter stack is sane and contains the correct basic filters when an error occurs. This fixes a problem where headers are not being sent on error. [John Sterling] *) New Header directive 'echo' option. "Header echo regex" will cause any headers received on the request that match regex to be echoed to (included in) the response headers. [Bill Stoddard] *) include/ap_compat.h tested and set APR_COMPAT_H instead of AP_COMPAT_H. This prevented the inclusion of apr_compat.h. PR #7773 [Oleg Broytmann ] *) Moved util_uri to the apr-util library. This required a bunch of apr_name changes for the uri utility functions. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Move the addition of default AP_HTTP_HTTP_HEADER filters to the insert_filter phase so that other filters are not bypassed by default. [Graham Leggett] *) Reimplement mod_headers as an output filter. mod_headers can now add custom headers to inbound requests using the RequestHeader directive and to responses using the same old Header directive. [Graham Leggett] Changes with Apache 2.0.18 *) Fix command-line processing so that if a bad argument is specified Apache will exit. [Jeff Trawick] *) Change the make targets and rules to be consistent in all of the Apache-owned source trees. [Roy Fielding] *) Fix processing of the TRACE method. Previously we passed bogus parms to form_header_field() and it overlaid some vhost structures, resulting in a segfault in check_hostalias(). [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Win32: Add support for reliable piped logs. If the logging process goes down, Apache will automatically restart it. This function has been part of Apache on Unix/Linux/BSD since the early v1.3 releases. [Bill Stoddard] *) Do not start piped log processes during the config file preflight. This change also circumvents a problem on Windows where the rotatelog processes created during preflight was not getting cleaned up properly. [Bill Stoddard] *) add "Request Phase Participation" info to mod_info [Doug MacEachern] *) Make first phase changes to the scoreboard data structures in preparation for the rewriting of the scoreboard per my posted design notes. [Paul J. Reder] *) Fix httpd's definition of LTFLAGS to be consistent with that of apr and apr-util, allow it to be overridden by the configure command-line (default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS to replace what we were formerly abusing as LTFLAGS. [Roy Fielding] *) Clean up the reporting of incorrect closing container tags. [Barrie Slaymaker ] *) Simplify the configure process by moving all libtool stuff to APR and moving hints.m4 inline. [Roy Fielding] *) Add the AP_DECLARE()/AP_CORE_DECLARE macros on the return types of functions used by mod_proxy for export in the DLL [Ian Holsman ] *) Prevent a hang when a cgi handled by mod_cgid tries to read a request body from its stdin but no reqest body is being written to the cgi. [Jeff Trawick] *) mod_log_config: %c connection status incorrectly logged as "-" (non-keepalive) when MaxKeepAliveRequests is set to 0. [Bill Stoddard] *) Get mod_cern_meta working under Windows [Bill Stoddard] *) Create Files, and thus MMAPs, out of the request pool, not the connection pool. This solves a small resource leak that had us not closing files until a connection was closed. In order to do this, at the end of the core_output_filter, we loop through the brigade and convert any data we have into a single HEAP bucket that we know will survive clearing the request_rec. [Ryan Bloom, Justin Erenkrantz , Cliff Woolley] *) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given on the compile and link lines. Remove obsolete macros APR_DOEXTRA, AC_ADD_LIBRARY, AC_CHECK_DEFINE, APACHE_PASSTHRU, and APACHE_ONCE. Added APR_SAVE_THE_ENVIRONMENT and APR_RESTORE_THE_ENVIRONMENT macros. Renamed AC_TYPE_RLIM_T macro to APACHE_TYPE_RLIM_T. [Roy Fielding] *) Get mod_tls to compile/work better on Windows. PR #7612 [Bernhard Schrenk ] *) Fix shutdown/restart hangs in the threaded MPM. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom] *) Removed the keptalive boolean from conn_rec because it is now only used by a single routine and can be replaced by a local variable. [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom, Roy Fielding] *) Patch prefork to put enough of the signal processing back in so that signals are all handled properly now. The previous patch fixed the deadlock race condition, but broke the user directed signal handling. This fixes it to work the way it did before my previous prefork patch (primarily, SIGTERM is now working). *) Change how input filters decide how much data is returned to the higher filter. We used to use a field in the conn_rec, with this change, we use an argument to ap_get_brigade to determine how much data is retrieved. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix seg fault at start-up introduced by Ryan's change to enable modules to specify their own logging tags. mod_log_config registers an optional function, ap_register_log_handler(). ap_register_log_handler() was being called by http_core before the directive hash table was created. This patch creates the directive hash table before ap_register_log_handler() is registered as an optional function. [jean-frederic clere ] *) Add ap_set_int_slot() function [John K. Sterling ] *) Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the right response headers when requiring authentication. [Gertjan van Wingerde ] PR#7114 (This is a port of the change that went into Apache 1.3.19.) *) Allow modules to specify their own logging tags. This basically allows a module to tell mod_log_config that when %x is encountered a specific function should be called. Currently, x can be any single character. It may be more useful to make this a string at some point. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.17 *) If a higher-level filter handles the byterange aspects of a request, then the byterange filter should not try to redo the work. The most common case of this happening, is a byterange request going through the proxy, and the origin server handles the byterange request. The proxy should ignore it. [Graham Leggett ] *) Changed the threaded mpm to have child_main join to each of the worker threads to make sure the kids are all gone before child_main exits after a signal (cleanup from perform_idle_server_maintenance). This is an extension of Ryans recent commit to make the child_main the signal thread. *) Add more options to the ap_mpm_query function. This also allows MPMs to report if their threads are dynamic or static. Finally, this also implements a new API, ap_show_mpm, which returns the MPM that was required into the core. [Harrie Hazewinkel ] *) Do not install the binaries from the support directory twice. [jun-ichiro hagino ] *) The ap_f* functions should flush data to the filter that is passed in, not the filter after the one passed in. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Make ab work again by changing its native types to apr types and formats. [Justin Erenkrantz ] *) Move the byterange filter and all of the supporting functions back to the HTTP module. The byterange filter turned out to be very HTTP specific, and it belongs in the HTTP module. [Greg Stein] *) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz ] *) Fix errors in the renaming of the apr_threadattr_detach_xxx functions. This may have been causing problems stopping processes in the threaded mpm's. [Greg Ames] *) Fix content-length in mod_negotiation to a long int representation. [William Rowe] *) Remove BindAddress from the default config file. [] *) Allow module authors to add a module to their Apache build using --with-module, without re-running buildconf. The syntax is: --with-module=module_type:/path/to/module.c The configure script will copy the module.c file to modules/module_type, and it will be added to the relevant Makefiles. currently, this only works for static modules. [Ryan Bloom] *) Changes required to make prefork clean up idle children properly. There was a window during which a starting worker deadlocks when an idle cleanup arrives before it completes init. Apache then keeps trying to cleanup the same deadlocked worker forever (until higher pids come along, but it still will never reduce below the deadlocked pid). Thus the number of children would not reduce to the correct idle level. [Paul J. Reder] Changes with Apache 2.0.16 *) Change the default installation directory to /usr/local/apache2, as now defined by the "Apache" layout in config.layout. [Marc Slemko] *) OS/2: Added support for building loadable modules as OS/2 DLLs. [Brian Havard] *) Get MaxRequestsPerChild working with the Windows MPM. [Bill Stoddard] *) Make generic hooks to work, with mod_generic_hook_import/export experimental modules. [Ben Laurie, Will Rowe] *) Fix segfaults for configuration file syntax errors such as "" followed by "" followed by "". [Jeff Trawick] *) Cleanup the --enable-layout option of configure. This makes us use a consistent location for the config.layout file, and it makes configure more portable. [jun-ichiro hagino ] *) Changes to 'ab'; fixed int overrun's, added statistics, output in csv/gnuplot format, rudimentary ssl support and various other tweaks to make results more true to what is measured. The upshot of this it turns out that 'ab' has often underreported the true performance of apache. Often by a order of magnitude :-) See talk/paper of Sander Temme at April ApacheCon 2001 for details. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Clean up mod_cgid's temporary request pool. Besides fixing a storage leak this ensures that some unnecessary pipes are closed. [Jeff Trawick] *) Performance: Add quick_handler hook. This hook is called at the very beginning of the request processing before location_walk, translate_name, etc. This hook is useful for URI keyed content caches like Mike Abbott's Quick Shortcut Cache. [Bill Stoddard] *) top_module global variable renamed to ap_top_module [Perl] *) Move ap_set_last_modified to the core. This is a potentially controversial change, because this is kind of HTTP specific. However many protocols should be able to take advantage of this kind of information. I expect that headers will need one more layer of indirection for multi-protocol work, but this is a small step in the right direction. [Ryan Bloom] *) Enable mod_status by default. This matches what Apache 1.3 does. [Ed Korthof] *) Add a ScriptSock directive to the default config file. This is only enabled when mod_cgid is used. [Taketo Kabe ] Changes with Apache 2.0.15 *) Untangled the buildconf script and eliminated the need for build's aclocal.m4, generated_lists, build.mk, build2.mk, and a host of other libtool muck that is now under srclib/apr/build. [Roy Fielding] *) Win32: Don't accept more connections than we have worker threads to handle. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix bug in the Unix threaded.c MPM that allowed child processes to fork() new child processes. [Bill Stoddard] *) SECURITY: Fix a major security problem with double-reverse lookup checking. Previously, a client connecting over IPv4 would not be matched properly when the server had an IPv6 listening socket. PR #7407 [Taketo Kabe ] *) Change the way the beos MPM handles polling to allow it to stop and restart. Problem was the sockets being polled were being reset by the select call, so once it had accepted a connection it was no longer listening on the UDP socket we use for shutdown instructions. APR needs to be altered, patch on it's way. [David Reid] *) Empty out the brigade shared by ap_getline()/ap_get_client_block() on error exit from ap_getline(). Some other code got upset because the wrong data was in the brigade. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Handle ap_discard_request_body() being called more than once. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Get rid of an inadvertent close of file descriptor 2 in mod_mime_magic. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Add a hook, create_request. This hook allows modules to modify a request while it is being created. This hook is called for all request_rec's, main request, sub request, and internal redirect. When this hook is called, the r->main, r->prev, r->next pointers have been set, so modules can determine what kind of request this is. [Ryan Bloom] *) Cleanup the build process a bit more. The Apache configure script no longer creates its own helper scripts, it just uses APR's. [jean-frederic clere ] *) Stop the forced downgrade of the connection to HTTP/1.0 for proxy requests. [Graham Leggett] *) Avoid using sscanf to determine the HTTP protocol number in the common case because sscanf is a performance hog. From Mike Abbot's Accelerating Apache patch number 6. [Mike Abbot , Bill Stoddard] *) SECURITY: Fix a security exposure in mod_access. Previously when IPv6 listening sockets were used, allow/deny-from-IPv4-address rules were not evaluated properly (PR #7407). Also, add the ability to specify IPv6 address strings with optional prefix length on Allow and Deny. [Jeff Trawick] *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). (Brought forward from 1.3.) [Ken Coar] *) Reimplement the Windows MPM (mpm_winnt.c) to eliminate calling DuplicateHandle on an IOCompletionPort (a practice which MS "discourages"). The new model does not rely on associating the completion port with the listening sockets, thus the completion port can be completely managed within the child process. A dedicated thread accepts connections off the network, then calls PostQueuedCompletionStatus() to wake up worker threads blocked on the completion port. [Bill Stoddard] *) Bring forward the --suexec-umask option which allows the builder to preset the umask for suexec processes. [Ken Coar] *) Add a -V flag to suexec, which causes it to display the compile-time settings with which it was built. (Only usable by root or the AP_HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar] *) Mod_include should always unset the content-length if the file is going to be passed through send_parsed_content. There is no to determine if the content will change before actually scanning the entire content. It is far safer to just remove the C-L as long as we are scanning it. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make sure Apache sends WWW-Authenticate during a reverse proxy request and not Proxy-Authenticate. [Graham Leggett ] Changes with Apache 2.0.14 *) Fix content-length computation. We ONLY compute a content-length if We are not in a 1.1 request and we cannot chunk, and this is a keepalive or we already have all the data. [Ryan Bloom] *) Report unbounded containers in the config file. Previously, a typo in the directive could result in the rest of the config file being silently ignored, with undesired defaults used. [Jeff Trawick] *) Make the old_write filter use the ap_f* functions for the buffering. [Ryan Bloom] *) Move more code from the http module into the core server. This is core code, basically the default handler, the default input and output filters, and all of the core configuration directives. All of this code is required in order for the server to work, with or without HTTP. The server is closer to working without the HTTP module, although there is still more to do. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a number of SGI compile warnings throughout the server. Fix some bad parameters to apr_bucket_read(). Fix a bad statement in ap_method_in_list(). For the mod_rewrite cache use apr_time_t consistently; we were mixing apr_time_t and time_t in invalid ways before. In load_file(), call apr_dso_error() instead of apr_strerror() so that we get a more specific string on some platforms. PR #6980 [Jeff Trawick] *) Allow modules to query the MPM about it's execution profile. This query API can and should be extended in the future, but for now, max_daemons, and threading or forking is a very good start. [Jon Travis ] *) Modify mod_include to send blocks of data no larger than 9k. Without this, mod_include will wait until the whole file is parsed, or the first tag is found to send any data to the client. [Paul J. Reder ] *) Fix mod_info, so that and directives are not displayed twice when displaying the current configuration. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Add config directives to override DEFAULT_ERROR_MSG and DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT. This was sent in as PR 6193. [Dan Rench ] *) Get mod_info building and loading on Win32. [William Rowe] *) Begin to move protocol independant functions out of mod_http. The goal is to have only functions that are HTTP specific in the http directory. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.13 *) Don't assume that there will always be multiple calls to the byterange filter. It is possible that we will need to do byteranges with only one call to the filter. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Move the error_bucket definition from the http module to the core server. Every protocol will need this ability, not just HTTP. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.12 *) Modify mod_file_cache to save pre-formatted strings for content-length and last-modified headers for performance. [Mike Abbot ] *) Namespace protect IOBUFSIZ since it is exposed in the API. [Jon Travis ] *) Use "Basic" authentication instead of "basic" in ab, as the spec says we should. [Andre Breiler ] *) Fix a seg fault in mod_userdir.c. We used to use the pw structure without ever filling it out. This fixes PR 7271. [Taketo Kabe and Cliff Woolley ] *) Add a couple of GCC attribute tags to printf style functions. [Jon Travis ] *) Add the correct language tag for interoperation with the Taiwanese versions of MSIE and Netscape. [Clive Lin ] PR#7142 *) Migrate the perchild MPM to use the new apr signal child, and APR thread functions. [Ryan Bloom] *) Close one copy of the CGI's stdout before creating the new process. The CGI will still have stdout, because we have already dup'ed it. This keeps Apache from waiting forever to send the results of a CGI process that has forked a long-lived child process. [Taketo Kabe ] *) Remove the rest of the pthreads functions from the threaded MPM. This requires the APR support for a signal thread that was just added. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make mod_dir use a fixup for sending a redirect to the browser. Before this, we were using a handler, which doesn't make much sense, because the handler wasn't generating any data, it would either return a redirect error code, or DECLINED. This fits the current hooks better. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Make the threaded MPM use APR threads instead of pthreads. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get mod_tls to the point where it actually appears to work in all cases. [Ben Laurie] *) implement --enable-modules and --enable-mods-shared for "all" and "most". [Greg Stein] *) Move the threaded MPM to use APR locks instead of pthread locks. [Ryan Bloom] *) Rename mpmt_pthread to threaded. This is more in line with the fact that mpmt_pthread shouldn't be using pthreads directly, and it is a smaller name that doesn't tie into anything. [Ryan Bloom] *) Rename the module structures so that the exported symbol matches the file name, and it is easier to automate the installation process (generating LoadModule directives from the module filenames). [Martin Kraemer] *) Remove the coalesce filter. With the ap_f* functions, this filter is no longer needed. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0.11 *) Remove the dexter MPM. Perchild is the same basic idea, but it has the added feature of allowing a uid/gid per child process. If no uid/gid is specified, then Perchild behaves exactly like dexter. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get perchild building again. [Ryan Bloom] *) Don't disable threads just because we are using the prefork MPM. If somebody wants to compile without threads, they must now add --disable-threads to the configure command line. [Ryan Bloom] *) Begin to move the calls to update_child_status into common code, so that each individual MPM does not need to update the scoreboard itself. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow mod_tls to compile under Unix boxes where openssl has been installed to the system include files. [Gomez Henri ] *) Cleanup the mod_tls configure process. This should remove any need to hand-edit any files. We require OpenSSL 0.9.6 or later, but configure doesn't check that yet. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add a very early prototype of SSL support (in mod_tls.c). It is vital that you read modules/tls/README before attempting to build it. [Ben Laurie] *) Fix a potential seg fault on all platforms. David Reid fixed this on BEOS, but the problem could happen anywhere, so we don't want to #ifdef it. [Cliff Woolley ] *) Add new LogFormat directive, %D, to log time it takes to serve a request in microseconds. [Bill Stoddard] *) Change AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter to SetInputFilter and SetOutputFilter. This corresponds nicely with the other Set directives, which operate on containers while the Add* directives tend to work directly on extensions. [Ryan Bloom] *) Cleanup the header handling a bit. This uses the apr_brigade_* functions for the buffering so that we don't need to compute the length of the headers before we actually create the header buffer. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow filters to buffer data using the ap_f* functions. These have become macros that resolve directly to apr_brigade_*. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get the Unix MPM's to do a graceful restart again. If we are going to register a cleanup with ap_cleanup_scoreboard, then we have to kill the cleanup with the same function, and that function can't be static. [Ryan Bloom] *) Install all required header files. Without these, it was not possible to compile some modules outside of the server. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix the AliasMatch directive in Apache 2.0. When we brought a patch forward from 1.3 to 2.0, we missed a single line, which broke regex aliases. [Ryan Bloom] *) We have a poor abstraction in the protocol. This is a temporary hack to fix the bug, but it will need to be fixed for real. If we find an error while sending out a custom error response, we back up to the first non-OK request and send the data. Then, when we send the EOS from finalize_request_protocol, we go to the last request, to ensure that we aren't sending an EOS to a request that has already received one. Because the data is sent on a different request than the EOS, the error text never gets sent down the filter stack. This fixes the problem by finding the last request, and sending the data with that request. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make the server status page show the correct restart time, and thus the proper uptime. [Ryan Bloom] *) Move the CGI creation logic from mod_include to mod_cgi(d). This should reduce the amount of duplicate code that is required to create CGI processes. [Paul J. Reder ] *) ap_new_connection() closes the socket and returns NULL if a socket call fails. Usually this is due to a connection which has been reset. [Jeff Trawick] *) Move the Apache version information out of httpd.h and into release.h. This is in preparation for the first tag with the new tag and release system. [Ryan Bloom] *) Begin restructuring scoreboard code to enable adding back in the ability to use IPC other than shared memory. Get mod_status working on Windows again. [Bill Stoddard] *) Make mod_status work with 2.0. This will work for prefork, mpmt_pthread, and dexter. [Ryan Bloom] *) Correct a typo in httpd.conf. [Kunihiro Tanaka ] PR#7154 *) Really fix mod_rewrite map lookups this time. [Tony Finch] *) Get the correct IP address if ServerName isn't set and we can't find a fully-qualified domain name at startup. PR#7170 [Danek Duvall ] *) Make mod_cgid work with SuExec. [Ryan Bloom] *) Adopt apr user/group name features for mod_rewrite. Eliminates some 'extra' stat's for user/group since they should never occur, and now resolves the SCRIPT_USER and SCRIPT_GROUP, including on WinNT NTFS volumes. [William Rowe] *) Adopt apr features to simplify mod_includes. This changes the behavior of the USER_NAME variable, unknown uid's are now reported as USER_NAME="" rather than the old user#000 result. WinNT now resolves USER_NAME on NTFS volumes. [William Rowe] *) Adopt apr features for simplifing mod_userdir, and accept the new Win32/OS2 exceptions without hiccuping. [William Rowe] *) Replace configure --with-optim option by using and saving the environment variable OPTIM instead. This is needed because configure options do not support multiple flags separated by spaces. [Roy Fielding] *) Fix some byterange handling. If we get a byte range that looks like "-999999" where that is past the end of the file, we should return a PARTIAL CONTENT status code, and return the whole file as one big byterange. This matches the 1.3 handling now. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make the error bucket a real meta-data bucket. This means that the bucket length is 0, and a read returns NULL data. If one of these buckets is passed down after the headers are sent, this data will just be ignored. [Greg Stein] *) The prefork MPM wasn't killing child processes correctly if a restart signal was received while the process was serving a request. The child process would become the equivalent of a second parent process. If we break out of the accept loop, then we need to do die after cleaning up after ourselves. [Ryan Bloom] *) Change the Prefork MPM to use SIGWINCH instead of SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts. [Ryan Bloom] *) Modify the apr_stat/lstat/getfileinfo calls within apache to use the most optimal APR_FINFO_wanted bits. This spares Win32 from performing very expensive owner, group and permission lookups and allows the server to function until these apr_finfo_t fields are implemented under Win32. [William Rowe] *) Support for typedsafe optional functions - that is functions exported by optional modules, which, therefore, may or may not be present, depending on configuration. See the experimental modules mod_optional_fn_{ex,im}port for sample code. [Ben Laurie] *) filters can now report an HTTP error to the server. This is done by sending a brigade where the first bucket is an error_bucket. This bucket is a simple bucket that stores an HTTP error and a string. Currently the string is not used, but it may be needed to output an error log. The http_header_filter will find this bucket, and output the error text, and then return AP_FILTER_ERROR, which informs the server that the error web page has already been sent. [Ryan Bloom] *) If we get an error, then we should remove all filters except for those critical to serving a web page. This fixes a bug, where error pages were going through the byterange filter, even though that made no sense. [Ryan Bloom] *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch] *) Cleanup the byterange filter to use the apr_brigade_partition and apr_bucket_copy functions. This removes a lot of very messy code, and hopefully makes this filter more stable. [Ryan Bloom] *) Remove AddModule and ClearModuleList directives. Both of these directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled in the correct order. That requirement is now gone, because we use hooks to ensure that modules are in the correct order. [Ryan Bloom] *) When SuExec is specified, we need to add it to the list of targets to be built. If we don't, then any changes to the configuration won't affect SuExec, unless 'make suexec' is specifically run. [Ryan Bloom] *) Cleaned out open_file from mod_file_cache, as apr now accepts the APR_XTHREAD argument to open a file for consumption by parallel threads on win32. [William Rowe] *) Correct a bug in determining when we follow symlinks. The code expected a stat -1 result, not an apr_status_t positive error. Also check if the APR_FINFO_USER fields are valid before we follow the link. [William Rowe] *) Move initgroupgs, ap_uname2id and ap_gname2id from util.c to mpm_common.c. These functions are only valid on some platforms, so they should not be in the main-line code. [Ryan Bloom] *) Remove ap_chdir_file(). This function is not thread-safe, and nobody is currently using it. [Ryan Bloom] *) Do not try to run make depend if there are no .c files in the current directory, doing so makes `make depend` fail. [Ryan Bloom] *) Update highperformance.conf to work with either prefork or pthreads mpms. [Greg Ames] *) Stop checking to see if this is a pipelined request if we know for a fact that it isn't. Basically, if r->connection->keepalive == 0. This keeps us from making an extra read call when serving a 1.0 request. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein] *) Fix the handling of variable expansion look-ahead in mod_rewrite, i.e. syntax like %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}, and also fix the parsing of more complicated nested RewriteMap lookups. PR#7087 [Tony Finch] *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing Host: header. PR#7079 [Alexey Toptygin ] *) Fix an endless loop in ab which occurred when ab was posting and the server dropped the connection unexpectedly. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a segfault while handling request bodies in ap_http_filter(). This problem has been seen with mod_dav usage as well as with requests where the body was just being discarded. [Jeff Trawick] *) Some adjustment on the handling and automatic setting (via hints.m4) of various compilation flags (eg: CFLAGS). Also, add the capability to specify flags (NOTEST_CFLAGS and NOTEST_LDFLAGS) which are used to compile Apache, but not used during the configuration process. Useful for flags like "-Werror". [Jim Jagielski] *) Stop using environment variables to force debug mode or no detach. We now use the -D command line argument to specify the correct mode. -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH. [Greg Stein, Ryan Bloom] *) Change handlers to use hooks. [Ben Laurie] *) Stop returning copies of filenames from both apr_file_t and apr_dir_t. We pstrdup the filenames that we store in the actual structures, so we don't need to pstrdup the strings again. [Ryan Bloom] *) mod_cgi: Fix some problems where the wrong error value was being traced. [Jeff Trawick] *) EBCDIC: Fix some missing ASCII conversion on some protocol data. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add generic hooks. [Ben Laurie] *) Use a real pool to dup the error log descriptor. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a segfault caused by mod_ext_filter when the external filter program does not exist. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix an output truncation error when on an HTTP >= 1.0 request an object of size between DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZE and AP_MIN_BYTES_TO_WRITE was served through mod_charset_lite (or anything else that would create a transient bucket in this size range). ap_bucket_make_heap() silently failed (fixed), transient_setaside() discovered it, but ap_save_brigade() ignored it (fixed). [Jeff Trawick] *) Ignore \r\n or \n when using PEEK mode for input filters. The problem is that some browsers send extra lines at the end of POST requests, and we don't want to delay sending data back to the user just because the browser isn't well behaved. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get SuEXEC working again. We can't send absolute paths to suExec because it refuses to execute those programs. SuEXEC also wasn't always recognizing configuration changes made using the autoconf setup. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow the buildconf process to find the config.m4 files in the correct order. Basically, we can now name config.m4 files as config\d\d.m4, and we will sort them correctly when inserting them into the build process. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get mod_cgid to use apr calls for creating the actual CGI process. This also allows mod_cgid to use ap_os_create_priviledged_process, thus allowing for SuExec execution from mod_cgid. Currently, we do not support everything that standard SuExec supports, but at least it works minimally now. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow SuExec to be configured from the ./configure command line. [Ryan Bloom] *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley ] *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we need to call sendfile again. This gets us serving large files such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get the support programs building cleanly again. [Cliff Woolley ] *) The Apache/Win32 Apache.exe and dll's now live in bin. The current directory logic now backs up over bin/ to determine the server root from the Apache.exe path. *) Apache/Win32 now follows the standard conventions of mod_foo.so loadable modules, dynamic libs are all named libfoo.dll, and the makefile.win populates the include, lib and libexec directories. *) Apache is now IPv6-capable. On systems where APR supports IPv6, Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default. Additionally, the Listen, NameVirtualHost, and directives support IPv6 numeric address strings (e.g., "Listen [fe80::1]:8080"). [Jeff Trawick] *) Modify the install directory layout. Modules are now installed in modules/. Shared libraries should be installed in libraries/, but we don't have any of those on Unix yet. All install directories are modifyable at configure time. [Ryan Bloom] *) Install all header files in the same directory on Unix. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get the functions in server/linked into the server, regardless of which modules linked into the server. This uses the same hack for Apache that we use for APR and apr-util to ensure all of the necessary functions are linked. As a part of thise, the CHARSET_EBCDIC was renamed to AP_CHARSET_EBCDIC for namespace protection, and to make the scripts a bit easier. [Ryan Bloom] *) Rework the RFC1413 handling to make it thread-safe, use a timeout on the query, and remove IPv4 dependencies. [Jeff Trawick] *) Get all of the auth modules to the point that they will install and be loadable into the server. Our new build/install mechanism expects that all modules will have a common name format. The auth modules didn't use that format, so we didn't install them properly. [Ryan Bloom] *) API routines ap_pgethostbyname() and ap_pduphostent() are no longer available. Use apr_getaddrinfo() instead. [Jeff Trawick] *) Get "NameVirtualHost *" working in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] *) Return HTTP_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE if the every range requested starts after the end of the response. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get byterange requests working with responses that do not have a content-length. Because of the way byterange requests work, we have to have all of the data before we can actually do the byterange, so we can compute the content-length in the byterange filter. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get exe CGI's working again on Windows. [Allan Edwards] *) Get mod_cgid and mod_rewrite to work as DSOs by changing the way they keep track of whether or not their post config hook has been called before. Instead of a static variable (which is replaced when the DSO is loaded a second time), use userdata in the process pool. [Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 2.0a9 *) Win32 now requires perl to complete the final install step for users to build + install on Win32. Makefile.win now rewrites @@ServerRoot@ and installs the conf, htdocs and htdocs/manual directories. [William Rowe] *) Make mod_include use a hash table to associate directive tags with functions. This allows modules to implement their own SSI tags easily. The idea is simple enough, a module can insert it's own tag and function combination into a hash table provided by mod_include. While mod_include parses an SSI file, when it encounters a tag in the file, it does a hash lookup to find the function that implements that tag, and passes all of the relevant data to the function. That function is then responsible for processing the tag and handing the remaining data back to mod_include for further processing. [Paul J. Reder ] *) Get rid of ap_new_apr_connection(). ap_new_connection() now has fewer parameters: the local and remote socket addresses were removed from the parameter list because all required information is available via the APR socket. [Jeff Trawick] *) Distribution directory structure reorganized to reflect a normal source distribution with external install targets. [Roy Fielding] *) The MPMs that need multiple segments of shared memory now create two apr_shmem_t variables, one for each shared memory allocation. the problem is that we can't determine how much memory will be required for shared memory allocations once we try to allocate more than one variable. The MM code automatically aligns the shared memory allocations, so we end up needing to pad the amount of shared memory we want based on how many variables will be allocated out of the shared memory segment. It is just easier to create a second apr_shmem_t variable, and two shmem memory blocks. [Ryan Bloom] *) Cleanup the export list a bit. This creates a single unified list of functions exported by APR. The export list is generated at configure time, and that list is then used to generate the exports.c file. Because of the way the export list is generated, we only export those functions that are valid on the platform we are building on. [Ryan Bloom] *) Enable logging the cookie with mod_log_config [Sander van Zoest ] *) Fix a segfault in mod_info when it reaches the end of the configuration. [Jeff Trawick] *) Added lib/aputil/ as a placeholder for utility functions which are not specific to the Apache HTTP Server (but do not make sense with APR). The first utility is "apu_dbm": a set of functions to work with DBM files. This first version can be compiled for SDBM or GDBM databases. [Greg Stein] *) Complete re-write of mod_include. This makes mod_include a filter that uses buckets directly. This has now served the FAQ correctly. [Paul Reder ] *) Allow modules to specify the first filter in a sub_request when making the sub_request. This keeps modules from having to change the output_filter immediately after creating the sub-request, and therefore skip the sub_req_output_filter. [Ryan Bloom] *) Update ab to accept URLs with IPv6 literal address strings (in the format described in RFC 2732), and to build Host header fields in the same format. This allows IPv6 literal address strings to be used with ab. This support has been tested against Apache 1.3 with the KAME patch, but Apache 2.0 does not yet work with this format of the Host header field. [Jeff Trawick] *) Accomodate an out-of-space condition in the piped logs and the rotatelogs.c code, and no longer churn log processes for this condition. [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) Add support for partial writes with apr_sendfile() to core_output_filter. [Greg Ames] Changes with Apache 2.0a8 *) Add a directive to mod_mime so that filters can be associated with a given mime-type. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get multi-views working again. We were setting the path_info field incorrectly if we couldn't find the specified file. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix 304 processing. The core should never try to send the headers down the filter stack. Always, just setup the table in the request record, and let the header filter convert it to data that is ready for the network. [Ryan Bloom] *) More fixes for the proxy. There are still bugs in the proxy code, but this has now proxied www.yahoo.com and www.ntrnet.net (my ISP) successfully. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix params for apr_getaddrinfo() call in connect proxy handler. [Chuck Murcko] *) APR: Add new apr_getopt_long function to handle long options. [B. W. Fitzpatrick ] *) APR: Change apr_connect() to take apr_sockaddr_t instead of hostname. Add generic apr_create_socket(). Add apr_getaddrinfo() for doing hostname resolution/address string parsing and building apr_sockaddr_t. Add apr_get_sockaddr() for getting the address of one of the apr_sockaddr_t structures for a socket. Change apr_bind() to take apr_sockaddr_t. [David Reid and Jeff Trawick] *) Remove the BUFF from the HTTP proxy. This is still a bit ugly, but I have proxied pages with it, cleanup will commence soon. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make the proxy work with filters. This isn't perfect, because we aren't dealing with the headers properly. [Ryan Bloom] *) Do not send a content-length iff the C-L is 0 and this is a head request. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. PR#6829 [Tony Finch] *) Remove BUFF from the PROXY connect handling. [Ryan Bloom] *) Get the default_handler to stop trying to deal with HEAD requests. The idea is to let the content-length filter compute the C-L before we try to send the data. If we can get the C-L correctly, then we should send it in the HEAD response. [Ryan Bloom] *) The Header filter can now determine if a body should be sent based on r->header_only. The general idea of this is that if we delay deciding to send the body, then we might be able to compute the content-length correctly, which will help caching proxies to cache our data better. Any handler that doesn't want to try to compute the content-length can just send an EOS bucket without data and everything will just work. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add the referer to the error log if one is available. [Markus Gyger ] *) Mod_info.c has now been ported to Apache 2.0. As a part of this change, the root of the configuration tree has been exposed to modules as ap_conftree. [Ryan Morgan ] *) Get the core_output_filter to use the bucket interface directly. This keeps us from calling the content-length filter multiple times for a simple static request. [Ryan Bloom] *) We are sending the content-type correctly now. [Ryan Bloom and Will Rowe] *) APR on FreeBSD: Fix a bug in apr_sendfile() which caused us to report a bogus bytes-sent value when the only thing being sent was trailers and writev() returned an error (or EAGAIN). [Jeff Trawick] *) Get SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT working again. This uses the hints file to determine which platforms define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. [Ryan Bloom] *) APR: add apr_get_home_directory() [Jeff Trawick] *) Initial import of 1.3-current mod_proxy. [Chuck Murcko] *) Not all platforms have INADDR_NONE defined by default. Apache used to make this check and define INADDR_NONE if appropriate, but APR needs the check too, and I suspect other applications will as well. APR now defines APR_INADDR_NONE, which is always a valid value on all platforms. [Branko Čibej ] *) Destroy the pthread mutex in lock_intra_cleanup() for PR#6824. [Shuichi Kitaguchi ] *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support iDNS. PR#6635 [Tony Finch] *) When reading from file buckets we convert to an MMAP if it makes sense. This also simplifies the default handler because the default handler no longer needs to try to create MMAPs. [Ryan Bloom] *) BUFF has been removed from the main server. The BUFF code will remain in the code until it has been purged from the proxy module as well. [Ryan Bloom] *) Byteranges have been completely re-written to be a filter. This has been tested, and I believe it is working correctly, but it could doesn't work for the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. The output almost matches the output from 1.3, the only difference being that 1.3 includes a content-length in the response, and this does not. [Ryan Bloom] *) APR read/write functions and bucket read functions now operate on unsigned integers, instead of signed ones. It doesn't make any sense to use signed ints, because we return the error codes, so if we have an error we should report 0 bytes read or written. [Ryan Bloom] *) Always compute the content length, whether it is sent or not. The reason for this, is that it allows us to correctly report the bytes_sent when logging the request. This also simplifies content-length filter a bit, and fixes the actual byte-reporing code in mod_log_config.c [Ryan Bloom] *) Remove AP_END_OF_BRIGADE definition. This does not signify what it says, because it was only used by EOS and FLUSH buckets. Since neither of those are required at the end of a brigade, this was really signifying FLUSH_THE_DATA, but that can be determined better by checking AP_BUCKET_IS_EOS() or AP_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH. EOS and FLUSH buckets now return a length of 0, which is actually the amount of data read, so they make more sense. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow the core_output_filter to save some data past the end of a request. If we get an EOS bucket, we only send the data if it makes sense to send it. This allows us to pipeline request responses. As a part of this, we also need to allocate mmap buckets out of the connection pool, not the request pool. This allows the mmap to outlive the request. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make blocking and non-blocking bucket reads work correctly for sockets and pipes. These are the only bucket types that should have non-blocking reads, because the other bucket types should ALWAYS be able to return something immediately. [Ryan Bloom] *) In the Apache/Win32 console window, accept Ctrl+C to stop the server, but use Ctrl+Break to initiate a graceful restart instead of duplicating behavior. [John Sterling] *) Patch mod_autoindex to set the Last-Modified header based on the directory's mtime, and add the ETag header. [William Rowe] *) Merge the 1.3 patch to add support for logging query string in such a way that "%m %U%q %H" is the same as "%r". [Bill Stoddard] *) Port three log methods from mod_log_config 1.3 to 2.0: CLF compliant '-' byte count, method and protocol. [Bill Stoddard] *) Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection status at the end of the response as follows: 'X' - connection aborted before the response completed. '+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server. '-' - connection will be closed by the server. [Bill Stoddard] *) Expand APR for WinNT to fully accept and return utf-8 encoded Unicode file names and paths for Win32, and tag the Content-Type from mod_autoindex to reflect that charset if the feature macro APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is true. [William Rowe] *) Compute the content length (and add appropriate header field) for the response when no content length is available and we can't use chunked encoding. [Jeff Trawick] *) Changed ap_discard_request_body() to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK, so that content input filters get dechunked data when using the default handler. Also removed REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS. [Sascha Schumann] *) Add mod_ext_filter as an experimental module. This module allows the administrator to use external programs as filters. Currently, only filtering of output is supported. [Jeff Trawick] *) Most Apache functions work on EBCDIC machines again, as protocol data is now translated (again). [Jeff Trawick] *) Introduce ap_xlate_proto_{to|from}_ascii() to clean up some of the EBCDIC support. They are noops on ASCII machines, so this type of translation doesn't have to be surrounded by #ifdef CHARSET_EBCDIC. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix mod_include. tag commands work again, and the server will send the FAQ again. This also allows mod_include to set aside buckets that include partial buckets. [Ryan Bloom and David Reid] *) Add suexec support back. [Manoj Kasichainula] *) Lingering close now uses the socket directly instead of using BUFF. This has been tested, but since all we can tell is that it doesn't fail, this needs to be really hacked on. [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow filters to modify headers and have those headers be sent to the client. The idea is that we have an http_header filter that actually sends the headers to the network. This removes the need for the BUFF to send headers. [Ryan Bloom] *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles translation of request bodies. Get rid of the xlate version of ap_md5_digest() since we don't compute digests of filtered (e.g., translated) response bodies this way anymore. (Note that we don't do it at all at the present; somebody needs to write a filter to do so.) [Jeff Trawick] *) Input filters and ap_get_brigade() now have a input mode parameter (blocking, non-blocking, peek) instead of a length parameter. [hackathon] *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as of 2000-10-19. PR#6613 [Carsten Klapp , Tony Finch] *) Namespace protect some macros declared in ap_config.h [Ryan Bloom] *) Support HTTP header line folding with input filtering. [Greg Ames] *) Mod_include works again. This should still be re-written, but at least now we can serve an SHTML page again. [Ryan Bloom] *) Begin to remove BUFF from the core. Currently, we keep a pointer to both the BUFF and the socket in the conn_rec. Functions that want to use the BUFF can, functions that want to use the socket, can. They point to the same place. [Ryan Bloom] *) apr_psprintf doesn't understand %lld as a format. Make it %ld. [Tomas Ögren ] *) APR pipes on Unix and Win32 are now cleaned up automatically when the associated pool goes away. (APR pipes on OS/2 were already had this logic.) This resolvs a fatal file descriptor leak with CGIs. [Jeff Trawick] *) The final line of the config file was not being read if there was no \n at the end of it. This was caused by apr_fgets returning APR_EOF even though we had read valid data. This is solved by making cfg_getline check the buff that was returned from apr_fgets. If apr_fgets return APR_EOF, but there was data in the buf, then we return the buf, otherwise we return NULL. [Ryan Bloom] *) Piped logs work again in the 2.0 series. [Ryan Bloom] *) Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix: rewrite map lookup keys and default values are now expanded so that the lookup can depend on the requested URI etc. PR #6671 [Tony Finch] *) SECURITY: Tighten up the syntax checking of Host: headers to fix a security bug in some mass virtual hosting configurations that can allow a remote attacker to retrieve some files on the system that should be inaccessible. [Tony Finch] *) Add a pool bucket type. This bucket is used for data allocated out of a pool. If the pool is cleaned before the bucket is destroyed, then the data is converted to a heap bucket, allowing it to survive the death of the pool. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add a flush bucket. This allows modules to signal that the filters should all flush whatever data they currently have. There is no way to actually force them to do this, so if a filter ignores this bucket, that's life, but at least we can try with this. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add an output filter for sub-requests. This filter just strips the EOS bucket so that we don't confuse the main request's core output filter by sending multiple EOS buckets. This change also makes sub requests start to send EOS buckets when they are finished. [Ryan Bloom] *) Make ap_bucket_(read|destroy|split|setaside) into macros. Also makes ap_bucket_destroy a return void, which is okay because it used to always return APR_SUCCESS, and nobody ever checked its return value anyway. [Cliff Woolley ] *) Remove the index into the bucket-type table from the buckets structure. This has now been replaced with a pointer to the bucket_type. Also add some macros to test the bucket-type. [Ryan Bloom] *) Renamed all MODULE_EXPORT symbols to AP_MODULE_DECLARE and all symbols for CORE_EXPORT to AP_CORE_DECLARE (namespace protecting the wrapper) and retitled API_EXPORT as AP_DECLARE and APR_EXPORT as APR_DECLARE. All _VAR_ flavors changes to _DATA to be absolutely clear. [William Rowe] *) Add support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename parsing of blocks under Win32 and OS2. [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Harvard] *) Remove the function pointers from the ap_bucket type. They have been replaced with a global table. Modules are allowed to register bucket types and use then use those buckets. [Ryan Bloom] *) mod_cgid: In the handler, shut down the Unix socket (only for write) once we finish writing the request body to the cgi child process; otherwise, the client doesn't hit EOF on stdin. Small request bodies worked without this change (for reasons I don't understand), but large ones didn't. [Jeff Trawick] *) Remove file bucket specific information from the ap_bucket type. This has been moved to a file_bucket specific type that hangs off the data pointer in the ap_bucket type. [Ryan Bloom] *) Input filtering now has a third argument. This is the amount of data to read from lower filters. This argument can be -1, 0, or a positive number. -1 means give me all the data you have, I'll deal with it and let you know if I need more. 0 means give me one line and one line only. A positive number means I want no more than this much data. Currently, only 0 and a positive number are implemented. This allows us to remove the remaining field from the conn_rec structure, which has also been done. [Ryan Bloom] *) Big cleanup of the input filtering. The goal is that http_filter understands two conditions, headers and body. It knows where it is based on c->remaining. If c->remaining is 0, then we are in headers, and http_filter returns a line at a time. If it is not 0, then we are in body, and http_filter returns raw data, but only up to c->remaining bytes. It can return less, but never more. [Greg Ames, Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick] *) mod_cgi: Write all of the request body to the child, not just what the kernel would accept on the first write. [Jeff Trawick] *) Back out the change that moved the brigade from the core_output_filters ctx to the conn_rec. Since all requests over a given connection go through the same core_output_filter, the ctx pointer has the correct lifetime. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix another bug in the send_the_file() read/write loop. A partial send by apr_send would cause unsent data in the read buffer to get clobbered. Complete making send_the_file handle partial writes to the network. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix a couple of type fixes to allow compilation on AIX again [Victor J. Orlikowski ] *) Fix bug in send_the_file() which causes offset to be ignored if there are no headers to send. [Bill Stoddard] *) Handle APR_ENOTIMPL returned from apr_sendfile in the core filter. Useful for supporting Windows 9* with a binary compiled on Windows NT. [Bill Stoddard] Changes with Apache 2.0a7 *) Reimplement core_output_filter to buffer/save bucket brigades across multiple calls to the core_filter. The brigade will be sent when either MIN_BYTES_TO_SEND or MAX_IOVEC_TO_WRITE thresholds are hit or the EOS bucket is received. [Bill Stoddard] *) Create experimental filter (buffer_filter) that coalesces bytes into one large buffer before invoking the next filter in the chain. This filter is particularly useful with the current implementation of mod_autoindex when it inserted above the chunk_filter. mod_autoindex generates a lot of brigades that containing buckets holding just a few bytes each. The buffer_filter coalesces these buckets into a single large bucket. [Bill Stoddard] *) Add apr_sendfile() support into the core_output_filter. [Bill Stoddard] *) Add apr_sendv() support into the core_output_filter. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix mod_log_config so that it compiles cleanly with BUFFERED_LOGS [Mike Abbott ] *) Remove ap_send_fb. This is no longer used in Apache, and it doesn't make much sense, because Apache uses buckets instead of BUFFs now. [Ryan Bloom] *) send_the_file now falls back to a read/write loop on platforms that do not have sendfile. [Ryan Bloom and Brian Havard] *) Install apachectl correctly, and substitute the proper values so that it works again. [Ryan Bloom] *) Better(??) handle platforms that lack sendfile(). [Jim Jagielski] *) APR now has UUID generation/formatting/parsing support. [Greg Stein] *) Begin the http_filter. This is an input filter that understands the absolute basic amount required to parse an HTTP Request. The goal is to be able to split headers from request body before passing the data back to the other filters. [Ryan Bloom] *) Bring forward from 1.3.13 the config directory implementation [Jim Jagielski] *) install apxs if it is created [Ryan Bloom] *) Added APR_IS_STATUS_condition test macros to eliminate canonical error conversions. [William Rowe] *) Now that we have ap_add_input_filter(), rename ap_add_filter() to ap_add_output_filter(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Multiple build and configuration fixes Build process: -add datadir and localstatedir substitutions -fix layout name -fix logfilename misspelling -fix evaluation of installation dir variables and -replace $foobar by $(foobar) to be usefull in the makefile Cross compile: -add rules for cross-compiling in rules.mk. Okay, rule to check for $CC_FOR_BUILD is still missing -use CHECK_TOOL instead of CHECK_PROG for ranlib -add missing "AR=@AR@" to severaly Makefile.in's -cache result for "struct rlimit" -compile all helper programs with native and cross compiler and use the native version to generate header file [Rüdiger Kuhlmann ] *) Prepare our autoconf setup for autoconf 2.14a and for cross- compiling. [Rüdiger Kuhlmann ] *) Fix a bug where a client which only sends \n to delimit header lines (netcat) gets a strange looking HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED message. Start working on ebcdic co-existance with input filtering. [William Rowe, Greg Ames] *) If mod_so is enabled in the server always create libexec, even if there are no modules installed in this directory. This is a requirement for APXS to work correctly. [Ryan Bloom] *) Connection oriented output filters are now stored in the conn_rec instead of the request_rec. This allows us to add the output filter in the pre-connection phase instead of the post_read_request phase, which keeps us from trying to write an error page before we have a filter to write to the network. [Ryan Bloom, Jeff Trawick, and Greg Ames] *) Cleaning up an mmap bucket no longer deletes the mmap. An mmap can be used across multiple buckets (default_handler with byte ranges, mod_file_cache, mod_mmap_static), so cleanup of the mmap itself can't be associated with the bucket. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add .dll caching directive ISAPICacheFile to mod_isapi. [William Rowe] *) Radical surgery to improve mod_isapi support under Win32. Includes a number of newer ServerSupportFunction calls, support for ReadClient (in order to retrieve POSTs greater than 48KB), and general bug fixes to more reliably load ISAPI .dll's and prevent leaking handle resources. Note: There are still discrepancies between IIS's and Apache's ServerVariables, and async calls are still not supported. Additional warnings are logged to facilitate debugging of unsupported ISAPI calls. [William Rowe] *) Add input filtering to Apache. The basic idea for the input filters is the same as the ideas for output filters. The biggest difference is that instead of calling ap_pass_brigade, ap_get_brigade should be called, and the order of execution for the filter itself is different. When writing an output filter, a brigade is passed in, and filters operate directly on that brigade, when done, they call ap_pass_brigade. Input filters are the exact opposite. Because input is not a push operation, filters first call ap_get_brigade. When this function returns, the input filter will be left with a valid brigade. The input filter should then operate on the brigade, and return. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix building on BSD/OS using its native make. The build system falls back to the BSD .include directive on that host platform. [Sascha Schumann] *) Expand dbmmanage to allow -d -m -s -p options for Crypt, MD5, SHA1 and plaintext password encodings. Make feature tests a bit more flexible. [William Rowe] *) Charset translation: mod_charset_lite handles output content translation in a filter. mod_charset_lite no longer ignores subrequests. A bunch of cruft related to BUFF's support for translating request and response bodies was removed. [Jeff Trawick] *) Move the addition of the CORE filter to the post_read_request hook in http_core.c. This removes the need to add the filter in multiple places and allows for an SSL module to be added much simpler. [Ryan Bloom] *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0913 (cve.mitre.org) Fix a security problem that affects certain configurations of mod_rewrite. If the result of a RewriteRule is a filename that contains expansion specifiers, especially regexp backreferences $0..$9 and %0..%9, then it may be possible for an attacker to access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch] *) Fix a bug where errors that are detected during early request parsing don't produce visible HTTP error messages at the browser, because the core_filter wasn't present. [Greg Ames] *) Provide apr_socklen_t as a portability aid. [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) Overhaul of dbmmanage to allow a groups arg (as in Apache 1.2) as well as a comment arg to the add, adduser and update cmds. update allows the user to clear or preserve pw/groups/comment. Fixed a bug in dbmmanage that prevented the check option from parsing a password followed by :group... text. Corrected the seed calcualation for Win32 systems, and added -lsdbm support. [William Rowe] *) Configured mod_auth_dbm to compile with sdbmlib under Win32. [William Rowe] *) Avoid a segfault when parsing .htaccess files. An uninitialized tree pointer was passed to ap_build_config(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Change the way that inet_addr & inet_network are checked for in APR's configure process to allow BeOS BONE to correctly find them. With this change BeOS BONE now builds from source with no problems. [David Reid] *) Fix a bug in apr_create_process() for Unix. The NULL signifying the end of the parameters to execve() was stored in the wrong location, overlaying the storage beyond the newargs[] array and also passing uninitialized storage to execve(), which would sometimes fail with EFAULT. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a bug parsing configuration file containers. With a sequence like this in the config file any stuff (blank line) any stuff the second container would be terminated at the blank line due to sediment in the buffer from reading the prior and an error message would be generated for the real for the second container. Also due to this problem, any two characters could be used for "] *) Fix chunking problem with CGI scripts. The general problem was that the CGI modules were adding an EOS bucket and then the core added an EOS bucket. The chunking filter finalizes the chunked response when it encounters an EOS bucket. Because two EOS buckets were sent, we finalized the response twice. The fix is to make sure we only send one EOS, by utilizing a flag in the request_rec. [Ryan Bloom] *) apr_put_os_file() now sets up the unget byte appropriately on Unix and Win32. Previously, the first read from an apr_file_t set up via apr_put_os_file() would return a '\0'. [Jeff Trawick] *) Mod_cgid now creates a single element bucket brigade, with a pipe bucket, instead of using BUFF's and ap_r*. [Ryan Bloom] *) APRVARS.in no longer overwrites the EXTRA_LIBS variable. [Mike Abbott ] *) Remove ap_bopenf from buff code. This required modifying the file_cache code to use APR file's directly instead of going through BUFFs. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix compile break on some platforms for mod_mime_magic.c [John K. Sterling ] *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive. PR #5872 (1.3) [Jun Kuriyama ] *) Minor revamp of the rlimit sections of code. We now test explicitly for setrlimit and getrlimit. Also, unixd_set_rlimit() is now "available" even if the platform doesn't support the rlimit family (it's just a noop though). [Jim Jagielski] *) Migrate the pre-selection of which MPM to use for specific platforms to hints.m4, which contains (or should contain) all platform specific "hints". [Jim Jagielski] *) Remove IOLs from Apache. With filtering, IOLs are no longer necessary [Ryan Bloom] *) Add tables with non-string/binary values to APR. [Ken Coar] *) Fix some bad calls to ap_log_rerror() in mod_rewrite. [Jeff Trawick] *) Update PCRE to version 3.2. [Ryan Bloom] *) Change the way buckets' destroy functions are called so that they can be more directly used when changing the type of a bucket in place. [Tony Finch] *) Add generic support for reference-counting the resources used by buckets, and alter the HEAP and MMAP buckets to use it. Change the way buckets are initialised to support changing the type of buckets in place, and use it when setting aside TRANSIENT buckets. Change the implementation of TRANSIENT buckets so that it can be mostly shared with IMMORTAL buckets, which are now implemented. [Tony Finch] Changes with Apache 2.0a6 *) Add support to Apache and APR for dsos on OS/390. [Greg Ames] *) Add a chunking filter to Apache. This brings us one step closer to removing BUFF. [Ryan Bloom] *) ap_add_filter now adds filters in a LIFO fashion. The first filter added to the stack is the last filter to be called. [Ryan Bloom] *) Apache 2.0 has been completely documented using Scandoc. The docs can be generated by running 'make docs'. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add filtered I/O to Apache. This is based on bucket brigades, Currently the buckets still use BUFF under the covers, but that should change quickly. The only currently written filter is the core filter which just calls ap_bwrite. [The Apache Group] *) APR locks on Unix: Let APR_LOCKALL locks work when APR isn't built with thread support. [Jeff Trawick] *) Abort configuration if --with-layout was specified and there's no layout definition file. [Ken Coar] *) Add support for '--with-port=n' option to configure. [Ken Coar] *) Add support for extension methods for the Allow response header field, and an API routine for accessing r->allowed and the list of extension methods in a unified manner. [Ken Coar] *) mod_cern_meta: fix broken file reading loop in scan_meta_file(). [Rob Simonson ] *) Get xlate builds working again. The apr renaming in 2.0a5 broke APACHE_XLATE builds. [Jeff Trawick] *) A configuration file parsing problem was fixed. When the configuration file started with an IfModule/IfDefine container, only the last statement in the container would be retained. [Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 2.0a5 *) Perchild is serving pages after passing them to different child processes. There are still a lot of bugs, but this does work. I have made requests against the same installation of Apache, and had different servers use different user IDs to serve the responses. This change moves to using socketpair instead of an AF_UNIX socket. [Ryan Bloom] *) Perchild MPM still doesn't work perfectly, but it is serving pages. It can't seem to pass between child processes yet, but I think we are closer now than before. This moves us back to using Unix Domain Sockets. [Ryan Bloom] *) libapr functions and types renamed with apr_ prefix. #include "apr_compat.h" for 1.3.x backwards compat [Perl] *) Fix problems with APR sockaddr handling on Win32. It didn't always return the right information on the local socket address. [Gregory Nicholls ] *) ap_recv() on Win32: Set bytes-read to 0 on error. [Gregory Nicholls ] *) Add an option to not detach from the controlling terminal without going into single process mode. This allows for much easier debugging of the process startup code. [Ryan Bloom] *) ab: don't use perror() to report the failure of an APR function. [Jeff Trawick] *) Make dexter, mpmt_pthread, and perchild MPMs not destroy the scoreboard on graceful restarts. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix segfault/SIGSEGV when running gzip from mod_mime_magic.c. An invalid ap_proc_t was passed to ap_create_process(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Allow modules to register filters. Those filters are still never called, but this is a step in the right direction. [Ryan Bloom and Greg Stein] *) Register the mod_cgid daemon process for cleanup so that it is killed at termination if it does not die when the parent gets SIGTERM. This change is to fix occasional problems where the process stays around. Bugs in similar logic in mod_rewrite and mod_include were also fixed. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a bug in the time handling. Basically, we were imploding a time in ap_parseHTTPdate, but it had bogus data in the exploded time format. Namely, tm_usec and tm_gmtoff were not filled out. ap_implode_time uses those two fields to adjust the time value. Because of the HTTP spec, both of those values can be zero'ed out safely. This fixes the bug correctly. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a couple of place in the Windows code where the wrong error code was being returned. [Gregory Nicholls ] *) Fix POOL_DEBUG (at least for prefork mpm). [Dean Gaudet] *) Added the APR_EOL_STR macro for platform dependent differences in logfiles and other raw text (such as all APR files). Fixes logfiles not terminated with cr/lf sequences in Win32. [William Rowe] *) Move all strings functions in APR to src/lib/apr/strings and create apr_strings.h for the prototypes. [Ryan Bloom] *) APR lock fixes: when using SysV sems, flock(), or fcntl(), be sure to repeat the syscall until we stop getting EINTR. I noticed a related problem at termination (SIGTERM) on FreeBSD when using fcntl(). Apache 1.3 had these new loops too. Also, make the flock() implementation work properly with child init. Previously, ap_lock() was essentially a no-op because all children were using different locks and thus nobody ever blocked. [Jeff Trawick] *) The htdocs/ tree has been moved out of the CVS source tree into a separate area for easier development. This has NO EFFECT on end-users or Apache installations. [Ken Coar] *) Integrate the mod_dav module for WebDAV protocol handling. This adds the dav and dav_fs modules, the SDBM library, and additional XML handling utilities. [Greg Stein] *) Clean out obsolete names (from httpd.h) for the HTTP Status Codes [Greg Stein] *) Update the lib/expat-lite/ library (bring forward changes from the Apache 1.3 repository). [Greg Stein] *) If sizeof(long long) == sizeof(long), then prefer long in APR configure.in. [Dave Hill ] *) Add ap_sendfile for Tru64 Unix. Also, add an error message for machines where sendfile is detected, but nobody has written ap_sendfile. [Dave Hill ] *) Compile fixes in mod_mmap_static. [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) ab would start up more connections than needed, then quit when the desired number were finished. Also fixed a logic error involving ab keepalives. [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) WinNT: Implement non-blocking pipes with timeouts to communicate with CGIs. Apache 2.0a4 had non-blocking pipes but without timeouts (i.e, if a timeout was specified, the pipe reverted to a full blocking pipe). Now the behaviour is more in line with Unix non-blocking pipes. [Bill Stoddard] *) WinNT: Implement accept socket reuse. Using mod_file_cache to cache open file handles along with accept socket reuse enables Apache 2.0 to serve non-keepalive requests for static files at 3x the rate of Apache 1.3.(e.g, Apache 1.3 will serve 400 rps and Apache 2.0 will serve almost 1200 rps on my system). [Bill Stoddard] *) Merge mod_mmap_static function into mod_file_cache. mod_file_cache supports two config directives, mmapfile (same behavious as mod_mmap_static) and cachefile. Use the cachefile directive to cache open file handles. This directive only works on systems that have implemented the ap_sendfile API. cachefile works today on Windows NT, but has not been tested on any flavors of Unix. [Bill Stoddard] *) Cleanup the configuration. With the last few changes the configuration process automatically: inherits information about how to build from APR. Allowing APR to inform Apache that it should or should not use -ldl Detects which mod_cgi should be used mod_cgi or mod_cgid, based on the threading model Apache calls APR's configure process before finishing it's configuration processing, allowing for more information flow between the two. [Ryan Bloom] *) Change Unix and Win32 ap_setsockopt() so that APR_SO_NONBLOCK with non-zero argument makes the socket non-blocking. BeOS and OS/2 already worked this way. [Jeff Trawick] *) ap_close() now calls ap_flush() for buffered files, so write operations work a whole lot better on buffered files. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix error messages issued from MPMs which explain where to change compiled-in limits (e.g., ThreadsPerChild, MaxClients, StartTreads). [Greg Ames] *) ap_create_pipe() now leaves pipes in blocking state. (This helps reduce the number of syscalls on Unix.) ap_set_pipe_timeout() is now the way that the blocking state of a pipe is manipulated. ap_block_pipe() is gone. [Jeff Trawick] *) Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack can discover are 'undotted' private names. If no fully qualified domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to the machine's IP address string. A warning is always provided if the ServerName not specified, but assumed. Solves PR6215 [William Rowe] *) Repair problems with config file processing which caused segfault at init when virtual hosts were defined and which caused ServerName to be ignored when there was no valid DNS setup. [Jeff Trawick] *) Removed pointless ap_is_aborted macro function. [Roy Fielding] *) Add ap_sendfile implementation for AIX [Victor J. Orlikowski] *) Repair C++ compatibility in ap_config.h, apr_file_io.h, apr_network_io.h, and apr_thread_proc.h. [Tyler J. Brooks , Jeff Trawick] *) Bring the allocation and pool debugging code back into a working state. This will need to be tested as so far it's only been used on BeOS. [David Reid] *) Change configuration command setup to be properly typesafe when in maintainer mode. Note that this requires a compiler that can initialise unions. [Ben Laurie] *) Turn on buffering for config file reads. Part of this was to repair buffered I/O support in Unix and implement buffered ap_fgets() for all platforms. [Brian Havard, Jeff Trawick] *) Win32: Fix problem where UTC offset was not being set correctly in the access log. Problem reported on news group by Jerry Baker. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix segfault when reporting this type of syntax error: " without matching section", where container is VirtualHost or Directory or whatever. [Jeff Trawick] *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-1204 (cve.mitre.org) Prevent the source code for CGIs from being revealed when using mod_vhost_alias and the CGI directory is under the document root and a user makes a request like http://www.example.com//cgi-bin/cgi as reported in [Tony Finch] *) Add support for the new Beos NetwOrking Environment (BONE) [David Reid] *) xlate: ap_xlate_conv_buffer() now tells the caller when the final input char is incomplete; ap_bwrite_xlate() now handles incomplete final input chars. [Jeff Trawick] *) Yet another update to saferead/halfduplex stuff -- need to ensure that a bhalfduplex call occurs before logging or else DNS and such can delay the last packet of the response. [Dean Gaudet] *) Some syscall reduction in APR on unix -- don't seek when setting up an mmap; and don't fcntl() more than once per socket. [Dean Gaudet] *) When mod_cgid is started as root, the cgi daemon now switches to the configured User/Group (like other httpd processes) instead of continuing as root. [Jeff Trawick] *) The prefork MPM now uses an APR lock for the accept() mutex. It has not been getting a lock at all recently. httpd -V now displays APR's selection of the lock mechanism instead of the symbols previously respected by prefork. [Jeff Trawick] *) Change the mmap() feature test to check only for existence. The previous check required features not used by Apache. [Greg Ames] *) Fix a couple of bugs in mod_cgid: The cgi arguments were sometimes mangled. The len parm to accept() was not initialized, leading sometimes to an endless loop of failed accept() calls on OS/390 and anywhere else that failed the call if the len was negative. Use for struct sockaddr_un instead of declaring it ourselves to fix a compilation problem on Solaris. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add Resource limiting code back into Apache 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix zombie process problem with mod_cgi. [Jeff Trawick] *) Port mod_mmap_static to 2.0. Make it go faster. [Greg Ames] *) Fix storage overlay when loading dsos. Symptom: Apache dies at initialization if ALLOC_DEBUG is defined; no known symptom otherwise. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix typo in configure script when checking for mod_so. bash doesn't seem to have a problem but /bin/sh on Solaris does. Symptom: "./configure: test: unknown operator ==" [Jeff Trawick] *) Rebind the Win32 NT and 9x services control into the MPM. All console, WinNT SCM and Win9x pseudo-service control code is now wrapped within the WinNT MPM. [William Rowe] *) Make a copy of getenv("PATH") before storing for later use. Some getenv() implementations use the same storage for successive calls. CGIs on OS/390 had a bad PATH due to this. [Jeff Trawick] *) Server Tokens work in 2.0 again. This also propogates the change to allow just the product name in the server string using PRODUCT_ONLY. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0a4 *) EBCDIC: Rearrange calls to ap_checkconv() so that most handlers won't need to call it. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Move pre_config hook call to between configuration read and config tree walk. This allows all modules to implement pre_config hooks and know that they will be called at an appropriate time. [Ryan Bloom] *) mod_cgi, mod_cgid: Make ScriptLog directive work again. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add pre-config hooks back to all modules. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix a SIGSEGV in ap_md5digest(), which is used when you have ContentDigest enabled and we can't/don't mmap the file. [Jeff Trawick] *) We now report the correct line number for syntax errors in config files. [Ryan Bloom, Greg Stein, Jeff Trawick] *) Brought mod_auth_digest up to synch with 1.3, fixed ap_time_t- related bugs, and changed shmem/locking to use apr API. Shared-mem is currently disabled, however, because of problems with graceful restarts. [Ronald Tschalär] *) Fix corruption of IFS variable in --with-module= handling. Depending on the user's shell or customization thereof, there would be errors generating ap_config_auto.h later in the configure procedure. [Jeff Trawick] *) mod_cgi: Restore logging of stderr from child process when ScriptLog isn't used (as in 1.3), except that on Unix it is now logged via ap_log_rerror() instead of by the child having STDERR_FILENO refer to the error log. [Greg Ames, Jeff Trawick] *) Add '-D' argument processing for run time configuration defines. [William Rowe] *) Organize http_main.c as independent code, such that no code or global data is exported from it. WIN32 will dynamically link it to the server core, so this will prevent mutual dependency. [William Rowe] *) Add separate dynamic linkage tags APR_EXPORT(), APR_EXPORT_NONSTD() and APR_VAR_EXPORT to correctly resolve apr functions and globals. [William Rowe] *) Add Win9x service execution and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Shutdown handlers. [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser ] *) Add mod_charset_lite for configuring character set translation. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add '-n' option to htpasswd to make it print its user:pw record on stdout rather than having to frob a text file. [Ken Coar] *) Fix saferead. Basically, we flush the output buffer if a read on the input will block. [Ryan Bloom] *) APR: Add ap_xlate_get_sb() so that an app can find out whether or not a conversion is single-byte only. [Jeff Trawick] *) BEOS: ap_shutdown should return APR_SUCCESS or errno. Note that the BeOS 5.0 documentation says that shutdown doesn't work yet. [Roy Fielding] *) Fix some minor errors where pid was being manipulated as an int instead of the portable pid_t. [Roy Fielding] *) Fix some error log prints that were printing the pointer to a structure rather than the pid within the structure. [Jeff Trawick, Roy Fielding] *) ab: Fix a command-line processing bug; track bad headers in err_response; support reading headers up to 2K. [Ask Bjoern Hansen ] *) Fix ap_resolve_env() so that it handles new function added in a prior alpha (see "Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the config file.") as well as the constructs used by mod_rewrite. [Paul Reder ] *) Apache 2.0 builds and runs on OS/390. [Jeff Trawick, Greg Ames] *) Change the EBCDIC support in functions for MD5, SHA1, and base 64 to use APR to perform translation, instead of accessing the hard-coded tables in 1.3's ebcdic.c. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix some bugs (mostly lost 1.3 code) in ab's command-line processing. [Jeff Trawick] *) Add the ability to hook into the config file reading phase. Basically if a directive is specified EXEC_ON_READ, then when that directive is read from the config file, the assocaited function is executed. This should only be used for those directives that must muck with HOW the server INTERPRETS the config. This should not be used for directives that re-order or replace items in the config tree. Those changes should be made in the pre-config step. [Ryan Bloom] *) Add mod_example to the build system. [Tony Finch] *) APR: Add ap_xlate_conv_byte() to convert one char between single- byte character sets. [Jeff Trawick] *) Pick up various EBCDIC fixes from 1.3 (from Martin Kraemer and Oliver Reh originally according to the change log). [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a couple of problems in RFC1413 support (controlled by the IdentityCheck directive). Apache did not build the request string properly and more importantly Apache would loop forever if the would-be ident server dropped the connection before sending a properly terminated response. [Jeff Trawick] *) apxs works in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] *) Reliable piped logs work in 2.0. [Ryan Bloom] *) Introduce a hash table implementation into APR to be used for replacing tables and other random data structures in Apache. [Tony Finch] *) Add some more error reporting to htpasswd in the case of problems generating or accessing the temporary file. Also, pass in a buffer if the implementation knows how to use it (i.e., if L_tmpnam is defined). [Ken Coar] *) Configure creates config.nice now containing your configure options. Syntax: ./config.nice [--more-options] [Sascha Schumann] *) Fix various return code problems in APR on Win32. For most of these, APR was returning APR_EEXIST instead of GetLastError()/ WSAGetLastError(). [Jeff Trawick] *) Make piped logs work again in version 2.0 [Ryan Bloom] *) Add VPATH support to UNIX build system of Apache and APR. [Sascha Schumann] *) Fix ap_tokenize_to_argv to respect the const arguments that are passed to it. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix mm's memcpy/memset macros, pointer arithmetic was broken. Patch submitted to author. [Sascha Schumann] *) Fix mm configuration on Solaris 8 x86 and OS/390. Don't require /sbin in PATH on FreeBSD (all submitted to rse previously) [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix building Pthread-based MPMs on OpenBSD [Sascha Schumann] PR#26 *) Fix ap_readdir() problem on systems where d_name[] field in struct dirent is declared with only one byte. (This problem only affected multithreaded builds.) This caused a segfault during pool cleanup with mod_autoindex on Solaris (Solaris 8 x86, at least). [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix some make-portability problems on at least Tru64, Irix and UnixWare. [Sascha Schumann] PR#18, PR#39 *) Add ap_sigwait() to support old-style sigwait() on systems like OS/390 and UnixWare. [Sascha Schumann] *) Add POSIX-thread flags for more platforms. [Sascha Schumann] *) Fix some minor bugs in ap_strerror(). Teach ap_strerror() (on Unix, at least) to handle resolver errors. Fix a bug in the definition of APR_ENOMEM so that ap_strerror() can spit out the correct error message for it. [Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 2.0a3 *) mod_so reports ap_os_dso_error() if ap_dso_load() fails [Doug MacEachern] *) API: *HOOK* macros now have an AP_ prefix [Doug MacEachern] *) Win32: Eliminate redundant calls to initialize winsock. [Tim Costello ] *) Fix bugs initializing ungetchar for pipes. [Chia-liang Kao ] *) The ab program in the src/support directory is now portable using APR. [Ryan Bloom] *) Support directory is being compiled when the server is built [Ryan Bloom] *) The configure option --with-program-name has been added to allow developers to rename the executable at configure time. This also changes the name of the config files to match the executable's name. [Ryan Bloom] *) mod_autoindex: Add `IndexOptions +VersionSort', to nicely sort filenames containing version numbers. [Martin Pool] *) ap_open(..,APR_OS_DEFAULT,..) uses perms 0666 instead of 0777 on Unix; access_log and error_log now created with these perms; non- Unix is unaffected [Jeff Trawick] *) Finished move of ap_md5 routines to apr_md5. Removed ap_md5.h. Replaced more magic numbers with MD5_DIGESTSIZE. [William Rowe, Roy Fielding] *) Win32: Get mod_auth_digest compiling and added to the Windows build environment. Not tested and I'd be suprised if it actually works. [Bill Stoddard] *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. Makefiles have been removed and Apache.dsw created to bring together all the pieces. Create new file os/win32/BaseAddr.ref to define module base addresses (to prevent dll relocation at start-up). [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard] *) [EBCDIC] Port Paul Gilmartin's CRLF patch from 1.3. This replaces most of the \015, \012, and \015\012 constants with macros. [Greg Ames] *) Add ap_xlate_open() et al for translation of text between different character sets. The initial implementation requires iconv(). [Jeff Trawick] *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix. [Joshua Slive ] *) CGI output is being timed out now. [Ryan Bloom] *) Fix the problem with dieing quietly. dupfile now takes a pool which is used by the new apr file. There is no reason to create a new file with the same lifetime as the original file. [Ryan Bloom] *) Win32: Attempt to eliminate dll relocation at start-up by specifying module base addresses. This will help shooting seg faults in the field. [William Rowe ] *) Update Apache on Windows documentation. Add new document describing how to compile Apache on Windows. [William Rowe ] *) ap_set_pipe_timeout(), ap_poll(), and APR_SO_TIMEOUT now take microseconds instead of seconds. Some storage leaks and other minor bugs in related code were fixed. [Jeff Trawick] *) Win32: First cut at getting mod_isapi working under 2.0 [William Rowe ] *) First stab at getting mod_auth_digest working under 2.0 quick change summary: - moved the random byte generation (ap_generate_random_bytes) into APR - now uses ap_time_t - compiles and runs on linux - tested with amaya [Brian Martin ] *) Win32: Move the space stripping of physical service names fix up from Apache 1.3. #include'ing "ap_mpm.h" fixes up an unresolved symbol. Add dependency checking to the CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) is started before Apache. [William Rowe ] *) Win32: Add code to perform latebinding on functions that may not exist on all levels of Windows where Apache runs. This is needed to allow Apache to start-up on Win95/98. All calls to non portable functions should be protected with ap_oslevel checks to prevent runtime segfaults. [William Rowe ] *) Fix fallback default values for SHM_R and SHM_W [Martin Kraemer] *) Get lingering_close() working again. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Trawick] *) Win32: Get non-blocking CGI pipe reads working under Windows NT. This addresses PR 1623. Still need to address timing out runaway CGI scripts. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: Make ap_stat Windows 95/98 friendly [William Rowe ] *) Win32: Fix a bug in ap_get_oslevel which causes GetVersionEx() to always fail. Need to initialise the dwOSVersionInfoSize member of the OSVERSIONINFO struct before calling GetVersionEx, so GetVersionEx always fails. The patch also enhances ap_get_oslevel (and the associated enum) to handle selected service packs for NT4, and adds recognition for Windows 2000. This is useful, eg. if we can recognise NT4 SP2 then we can use ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather in readwrite.c. [Tim Costello ] *) Get mod_rewrite building and running, and mod_status building for Win NT [Allan Edwards ] *) Patch to port mod_auth_db to the 2.0 api and also to support Berlekey DB 3.0. It works for me with both Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and 2.7.7. It should work with version 1 as well but I haven't tested it. [Brian Martin ] *) Get APR DSO code working under Windows. Includes cross platform fixes to mod_so.c. [] *) Fix some of the Windows APR time functions. [William Rowe] *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site. [Joshua Slive ] *) Move Windows DSO code into APR. [Bill Stoddard] *) Eliminate apr_win.h and apr_winconfig.h (and the ugly #ifdefs they cause). Now, apr.h and apr_config.h are generated from apr.hw and apr_config.hw at build time. At this point, the server will not compile on Windows because of the recent DSO commits. Fixing those next. [Bill Rowe & Bill Stoddard] *) Added error checking for file I/O APR routines. [Jon Travis ] *) APR: Don't use the values of resolver error codes for the corresponding APR error codes. On Unix and Win32, return the proper APR error code after a resolver error. [Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 2.0a2 *) Renamed the executable back to httpd on all platforms other than Win32 [Ryan Bloom] *) Allow BeOS to survive restarts, log properly and a few small things it had problems with due to the way it setup users and groups. [David Reid] *) Get mod_rewrite working with APR locks [Paul Reder ] *) Actually remove the sempahore when the lock cleanup routine is called on BeOS. [David Reid] *) Clear hook registrations between reads of the config file. When DSOs are unloaded and re-loaded the old hook pointers may no longer be valid. This fix eliminates potential segfaults. [Allan Edwards ] *) Fix a problem with Sigfunc not being defined or bypassed if sigaction() wasn't found. [Jim Jagielski] *) Fix the locking mechanism on BSD variants. They now use fcntl locks. This allows the server to start and serve pages. [Ryan Bloom] *) First cut at getting the Win32 installer to work [William Rowe ] *) Get htpasswd compiling under Windows [William Rowe ] *) Change the log message for a bind() failure to show the interface and port number. [Jeff Trawick] *) Import the documentation from 1.3.12 and bring parts of it up-to-date with respect to the changes that have occurred in 2.0. [Tony Finch] *) BeOS MPM updated. CGI bug on BeOS fixed. IP addresses now logged correctly on BeOS. [David Reid] *) Create one makefile for all Win32 distributions (NT/2000/95/98). Makefile.win includes the same user interface as the old Makefile.nt [William Rowe , Jeff Trawick ] *) Win32 exec now uses COMSPEC environment string for command shell path resolution. [William Rowe ] PR#3715 *) Win32: ap_connect() was not returning correct error condition PR5866 [Allen Prescott ] *) Win32: ap_open() was broken on Win9x because an NT-specific flag was passed to CreateFile. ap_puts() added an unnecessary '\n'. [Jeff Trawick ] *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3) which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran. 'Fixed' confusing ee/et name and made all extensions language/dialect rather than country reflecting. Changed example files to explicit reflect the ISO charset and added a few common ones to the example config [dirkx] *) Extend external module capability. To use this, you call configure with --with-module=path/to/mod1,path/to/mod2,etc. [Ryan Bloom] *) Backported the various "default charset" fixes from 1.3.12, including the AddDefaultCharset directive. [Jim Jagielski] *) Added the capability to do ${ENVVAR} constructs in the config file. E.g. 'ServerAdmin ${POSTMASTER}'. As commited it does this on a line by line basis; i.e. if the envvar expands to something with spaces you have to protect it by adding quotes around it (Unless of course you expect it to contains more than one argument. Alternatively you can compile it on a per token basis; which is what people usually expect by setting RESOLVE_ENV_PER_TOKEN. But this hampers fancier hacks. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Changed the 'ErrorDocument' syntax in that it NO longer supports the asymetric ErrorDocument 301 "Some message Note the opening " quote, without a closing quote. It now has either the following syntaxes ErrorDocument XXX /local/uri ErrorDocument XXX http://valid/url ErrorDocument XXX "Some Message" The recognition heuristic is: if it has a space it is a message. If it has no spaces and starts with a / or is a valid URL then treat it that way. Otherwise it is assumed to be a message. This breaks backward compatibility but makes live a hell of a lot easier for GUI's and config file parsers. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Changed 'CacheNegotiatedDocs' from its present/not-present syntax into a 'on' or 'off' syntax. As it currently is the only non nesting token which uses NO_ARGS and thus is an absolute pain for any config interface automation. This breaks backward compatibility. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Add ability to add external modules to the build process. This is done with --with-module=/path/to/module. Modules can only be added as static modules at this point. [Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 2.0a1 *) Fix FreeBSD 3.3 core dump. Basically, ap_initialize() needs to get called before create_process(), since create_process() passes op_on structure to semop() to get a lock, but op_on isn't initialized until ap_initialize() calls setup_lock(). Here is a slight rearrangement to main() which calls ap_initialize() earlier... [Jeff Trawick ] *) Enable Apache to use sendfile/TransmitFile API [Bill Stoddard, David Reid, Paul Reder] *) Re-Implement Win32 APR network I/O APIs and most of the file I/O APIs. [Bill Stoddard] *) Make file I/O and network I/O writev/sendv APIs consistent. Eliminate use of ap_iovec_t and use Posix struct iovec. Use seperate variable on ap_writev to set the number of iovecs passed in and number of bytes written. [Bill Stoddard] *) Adapt file iol to use APR functions. Replaced ap_open_file() with ap_create_file_iol(). ap_create_file_iol() requires that the file be opened prior to the call using ap_open(). [Bill Stoddard] *) Port mod_include and mod_cgi to 2.0 [Paul Reder, Bill Stoddard] *) ap_send{,v}, ap_recv, ap_sendfile API clarification -- bytes_read/bytes_written is always valid (never -1). Plus some fixes to buff.c to correct problems introduced by the errno => ap_status_t changes a while back. Plus a fix to chunked encoding introduced right at the beginning of 2.0. [Dean Gaudet] *) Revamped UNIX build system to use autoconf and libtool. [Manoj Kasichainula, Sascha Schumann] *) port mod_rewrite to 2.0. [Paul J. Reder ] *) SECURITY: More rigorous checking of Host: headers to fix security problems with mass name-based virtual hosting (whether using mod_rewrite or mod_vhost_alias). [Ben Hyde, Tony Finch] *) Add back support for UseCanonicalName in containers. [Manoj Kasichainula] *) Added APLOG_STARTUP log type. This allows us to write an error message without any of the date and time information. As a part of this change, I also removed all of the calls to fprintf(stderr and replaced them with calls to ap_log_error using APLOG_STARTUP writing to stderr is no longer portable, because we don't direct stderr to the error log on all platforms. [Ryan Bloom] *) Convert error logging functions to take errno as an argument. This makes our error logs more portable, because some Windows API's don't set errno. This change allows us to still output a valid message on all of our platforms. [Ryan Bloom] *) mod_mime_magic runs in 2.0-dev now. [Paul Reder ] *) sendfile has been added to APR. [John Zedlewski ] *) buff.c has been converted to no longer use errno. [Manoj Kasichainula] *) mod_speling runs in 2.0-dev now: a bug in readdir_r handling and interface adaption to APR functions did it. [Martin Kraemer] *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0 [Dilip Khandekar ] *) Updated MM in APR source tree from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.11 [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Cleaned APR build environment integration and bootstrap APR automatically for developers from src/Configure. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed building of src/support/htpasswd.c [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot to escape the spelling-fixed uri. (Forw-Port from 1.3) [Martin Kraemer] *) Moved mod_auth_digest.c from experimental to standard. [Roy Fielding] *) Change all pools to APR contexts. This is the first step to incorporating APR into Apache. [Ryan Bloom] *) Move "handler not found" warning message to below the check for a wildcard handler. [Dirk , Roy Fielding] PR#2584, PR#2751, PR#3349, PR#3436, PR#3548, PR#4384, PR#4795, PR#4807 *) Support line-continuation feature in config.option file and allow the loading of multiple option sections at once via ``--with-option=,,...'' [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Rebuilt CVS repository with Apache 1.3.9 as basis. [Roy Fielding] Changes with Apache MPM *) Use asynchronous AcceptEx() and a completion port to accept and dispatch connections to threads in Windows NT/2000. [Bill Stoddard] *) Implement WINNT Win32 MPM from original Win32 code in http_main.c [Bill Stoddard] *) Implement the APACI --with-option facility (per default used the config.option file). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) MPM BEOS port. [David Reid ] *) Start to implement module-defined hooks that are a) fast and b) typesafe. Replace pre_connection module call with a register_hook call and implement pre_connection as a hook. The intent is that these hooks will be extended to allow Apache to be multi-protocol, and also to allow the calling order to be specified on a per-hook/per-module basis. [Ben Laurie] *) Implement mpm_* methods as "modules". Each method gets its own subdir in src/modules (eg: src/modules/prefork). Selection of method uses Rule MPM_METHOD. [Jim Jagielski] *) Port the hybrid server from the apache-apr repository as mpm_mpmt_pthread. [Manoj Kasichainula] *) os/unix/unixd.[ch]: detach, setuid, setgid, stuff which will be common amongst the unix MPMs. *) mpm_prefork: throw away all the alarm/timeout crud; and clean up the signal handling for the new world order. [Dean Gaudet] *) Crude ap_thread_mutex abstraction so that we get the pthread stuff out of alloc.c for now. [Dean Gaudet] *) Handle partial large writes correctly. [Ben Laurie] *) Eliminate conn_rec's pointer to server. All it knows is the base server based on IP/port. [Ben Laurie] *) Port a bunch of modules to the new module structure. ["Michael H. Voase" ] *) I/O layering and BUFF revamp. See docs/buff.txt. [Dean Gaudet] *) Basic restructuring to introduce the MPM concept; includes various changes to the module API... better described by docs/initial_blurb.txt. [Dean Gaudet] Changes with Apache pthreads *) New buff option added: BO_TIMEOUT. It describes the timeout for buff operations (generally over a network). [Dean Gaudet, Ryan Bloom, Manoj Kasichainula] *) Created http_accept abstraction. Added 4 new functions (not exported): init_accept(), begin_accepting_requests(), get_request(), stop_accepting_requests() [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix to ap_rprintf call that allows mod_info to work properly. [James Morris ] *) user and ap_auth_type fields were moved from connection_rec to request_rec. [Ryan Bloom] *) Removed the ap_block_alarms and ap_unblock_alarm calls. These aren't needed in a threaded server. *) Initial pthread implementation from from Dean's apache-nspr code. [Bill Stoddard, Ryan Bloom] Changes with Apache 1.3.x and later: *) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/1.3.x/src/CHANGES?view=markup
