Changes with Apache 1.3.42 *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0010 (cve.mitre.org) mod_proxy: Prevent chunk-size integer overflow on platforms where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long). Reported by Adam Zabrocki. [Colm MacCárthaigh] *) IMPORTANT: This is the final release of Apache httpd 1.3. Apache httpd 1.3 has reached end of life, as of January 2010. No further releases of this software will be made, although critical security updates may be made available as patches from the following website: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/ Apache 1.3.x users who wish to avail of security releases, bug-fixes and community support are advised to use Apache 2.2 or higher. Information on upgrading is available from the following website: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html Thank you to everyone who helped make Apache 1.3.x the most successful, and most used, webserver software on the planet! [Apache httpd group] *) Protect logresolve from mismanaged DNS records that return blank/null hostnames. [Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.41 *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-6388 (cve.mitre.org) mod_status: Ensure refresh parameter is numeric to prevent a possible XSS attack caused by redirecting to other URLs. Reported by SecurityReason. [Mark Cox] Changes with Apache 1.3.40 (not released) *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-5000 (cve.mitre.org) mod_imap: Fix cross-site scripting issue. Reported by JPCERT. [Joe Orton] *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-3847 (cve.mitre.org) mod_proxy: Prevent reading past the end of a buffer when parsing date-related headers. PR 41144. With Apache 1.3, the denial of service vulnerability applies only to the Windows and NetWare platforms. [Jeff Trawick] *) More efficient implementation of the CVE-2007-3304 PID table patch. This fixes issues with excessive memory usage by the parent process if long-running and with a high number of child process forks during that timeframe. Also fixes bogus "Bad pid" errors. [Jim Jagielski, Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 1.3.39 *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-5752 (cve.mitre.org) mod_status: Fix a possible XSS attack against a site with a public server-status page and ExtendedStatus enabled, for browsers which perform charset "detection". Reported by Stefan Esser. [Joe Orton] *) SECURITY: CVE-2007-3304 (cve.mitre.org) Ensure that the parent process cannot be forced to kill non-child processes by checking scoreboard PID data with parent process privately stored PID data. [Jim Jagielski] *) mime.types: Many updates to sync with IANA registry and common unregistered types that the owners refuse to register. Admins are encouraged to update their installed mime.types file. PR: 35550, 37798, 39317, 31483 [Roy T. Fielding] There was no Apache 1.3.38 Changes with Apache 1.3.37 *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-3747 (cve.mitre.org) mod_rewrite: Fix an off-by-one security problem in the ldap scheme handling. For some RewriteRules this could lead to a pointer being written out of bounds. Reported by Mark Dowd of McAfee. [Mark Cox] Changes with Apache 1.3.36 *) Reverted SVN rev #396294 due to unwanted regression. The new feature introduced in 1.3.35 (Allow usage of the "Include" configuration directive within previously "Include"d files) has been removed in the meantime. (http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=396294&view=rev) Changes with Apache 1.3.35 *) SECURITY: CVE-2005-3352 (cve.mitre.org) mod_imap: Escape untrusted referer header before outputting in HTML to avoid potential cross-site scripting. Change also made to ap_escape_html so we escape quotes. Reported by JPCERT. [Mark Cox] *) core: Allow usage of the "Include" configuration directive within previously "Include"d files. [Colm MacCarthaigh] *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-3918 (cve.mitre.org) HTML-escape the Expect error message. Only a security issue if an attacker can influence the Expect header a victim will send to a target site (it's known that some versions of Flash can do this) Reported by Thiago Zaninotti . [Mark Cox] *) mod_cgi: Remove block on OPTIONS method so that scripts can respond to OPTIONS directly rather than via server default. [Roy Fielding] PR 15242 Changes with Apache 1.3.34 *) hsregex: fix potential core dumping on 64 bit machines, such as AMD64. PR 31858. [Glenn Strauss < gs-apache-dev gluelogic.com>] *) SECURITY: core: If a request contains both Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers, remove the Content-Length, mitigating some HTTP Request Splitting/Spoofing attacks. This has no impact on mod_proxy_http, yet affects any module which supports chunked encoding yet fails to prefer T-E: chunked over the Content-Length purported value. [Paul Querna, Joe Orton] *) Added TraceEnable [on|off|extended] per-server directive to alter the behavior of the TRACE method. This addresses a flaw in proxy conformance to RFC 2616 - previously the proxy server would accept a TRACE request body although the RFC prohibited it. The default remains 'TraceEnable on'. [William Rowe] *) mod_digest: Fix another nonce string calculation issue. [Eric Covener] Changes with Apache 1.3.33 *) SECURITY: CVE-2004-0940 (cve.mitre.org) mod_include: Fix potential buffer overflow with escaped characters in SSI tag string. [Martin Kraemer, Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.32 *) mod_rewrite: Fix query string handling for proxied URLs. PR 14518. [michael teitler , Jan Kratochvil ] *) mod_rewrite: Fix 0 bytes write into random memory position. PR 31036. [André Malo] *) mod_digest: Fix nonce string calculation since 1.3.31 which would force re-authentication for every connection if AuthDigestRealmSeed was not configured. PR 30920. [Joe Orton] *) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick, Geoffrey Young] *) Fix trivial bug in mod_log_forensic that caused the child to seg fault when certain invalid requests were fired at it with forensic logging is enabled. PR 29313. [Will Slater ] *) Fix memory leak in the cache handling of mod_rewrite. PR 27862. [chunyan sheng , André Malo] *) mod_rewrite no longer confuses the RewriteMap caches if different maps defined in different virtual hosts use the same map name. PR 26462. [André Malo] *) mod_setenvif: Remove "support" for Remote_User variable which never worked at all. PR 25725. [André Malo] *) mod_usertrack: Escape the cookie name before pasting into the regexp. [André Malo] *) Win32: Improve error reporting after a failed attempt to spawn a piped log process or rewrite map process. [Jeff Trawick] *) SECURITY: CVE-2004-0492 (cve.mitre.org) Reject responses from a remote server if sent an invalid (negative) Content-Length. [Mark Cox] *) Fix a bunch of cases where the return code of the regex compiler was not checked properly. This affects mod_usertrack and core. PR 28218. [André Malo] *) No longer breaks mod_dav, frontpage and others. Repair a patch in 1.3.31 which prevented discarding the request body for requests that will be keptalive but are not currently keptalive. PR 29237. [Jim Jagielski, Rasmus Lerdorf] *) COMPATIBILITY: Added new compile-time flag: UCN_OFF_HONOR_PHYSICAL_PORT. It controls how UseCanonicalName Off determines the port value if the client doesn't provide one in the Host header. If defined during compilation, UseCanonicalName Off will use the physical port number to generate the canonical name. If not defined, it tries the current Port value followed by the default port for the current scheme. [Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.31 *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0987 (cve.mitre.org) Verification as to whether the nonce returned in the client response is one we issued ourselves by means of a AuthDigestRealmSeed secret exposed as an md5(). See mod_digest documentation for more details. The experimental mod_auth_digest.c does not have this issue. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Jeff Trawick, Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.30 *) Fix memory corruption problem with ap_custom_response() function. The core per-dir config would later point to request pool data that would be reused for different purposes on different requests. [Will Lowe, Jeff Trawick] *) Reinit socket to allow mod_proxy to continue to try connections when invalid IPs are accessed. PR 27542. [Alexander Prohorenko ] *) SECURITY: CVE-2004-0174 (cve.mitre.org) Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a child to hold the accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket. Enabled for some platforms known to have the issue (accept() blocking after select() returns readable). Define NONBLOCK_WHEN_MULTI_LISTEN if needed for your platform and not already defined. [Jeff Trawick, Brad Nicholes, Joe Orton] *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0993 (cve.mitre.org) Fix parsing of Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask; issue is only known to affect big-endian 64-bit platforms; on affected platforms such rules would never produce matches. PR 23850. [Henning Brauer ] *) Fix mod_include's expression parser to recognize strings correctly even if they start with an escaped token. [André Malo] *) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses). [Apache Software Foundation] *) Add mod_whatkilledus and mod_backtrace (experimental) for reporting diagnostic information after a child process crash. See source code for documentation. [Jeff Trawick, with help from mod_log_forensic] *) mod_usertrack no longer inspects the Cookie2 header for the cookie name. PR 11475. [Chris Darrochi ] *) mod_usertrack no longer overwrites other cookies. PR 26002. [Scott Moore ] *) Add fatal exception hook for running diagnostic code after a crash. [Jeff Trawick] *) Make REMOTE_PORT variable available in mod_rewrite. PR 25772. [André Malo] *) Forensic logging shouldn't log internal redirects. [Ivan Ristic ] *) 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. PR 8329. [Jeff Trawick] *) Linux 2.4+: If Apache is started as root and you code CoreDumpDirectory, coredumps are enabled via the prctl() syscall. Backport of a 2.x feature by Greg Ames. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix bug causing core dump when using CookieTracking without specifying a CookieName directly. Bugz# 24483. [Manni Wood , Jim Jagielski (backport)] *) Fix RewriteBase directive to not add double slashes. [André Malo] *) mod_rewrite: In external rewrite maps lookup keys containing a newline now cause a lookup failure. PR 14453. [Cedric Gavage , André Malo] *) Forensic logging module added (mod_log_forensic). [Ben Laurie] *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0020 (cve.mitre.org) Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog. Unescaped errorlogs are still possible using the compile time switch "-DAP_UNSAFE_ERROR_LOG_UNESCAPED". [Geoffrey Young, André Malo] *) '%X' is now accepted as an alias for '%c' in the LogFormat directive. This allows you to configure logging to still log the connection status even with mod_ssl (which changes what '%c' means). [Jim Jagielski] *) UseCanonicalName off was ignoring the client provided port information. [Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.29 *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org) Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures. [André Malo] *) Within ap_bclose(), ap_pclosesocket() is now called consistently for sockets and ap_pclosef() for files. Also, closesocket() is used consistenly to close socket fd's. The previous confusion between socket and file fd's would cause problems with some applications now that we proactively close fd's to prevent leakage. PR 22805 [Radu Greab , Jim Jagielski] *) If a request fails and the client will be redirected to another URL due to ErrorDocument, see if we need to drop the connection after sending the 302 response. This fixes a problem where Apache treated the body of the failed request as the next request on a keepalive connection. The subsequent 501 error sent to the browser prevented some browsers from fetching the error document. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fixed mod_usertrack to not get false positive matches on the user-tracking cookie's name. PR 16661. [Manni Wood ] *) Enabled RFC1413 ident functionality for both Win32 and NetWare platforms. This also included an alternate thread safe implementation of the socket timout functionality when querying the identd daemon. [Brad Nicholes, William Rowe] *) Prevent creation of subprocess Zombies when using CGI wrappers such as suExec and cgiwrap. PR 21737. [Numerous] *) ab: Overlong credentials given via command line no longer clobber the buffer. [André Malo] *) Fix ProxyPass for ftp requests - the original code was segfaulting since many of the values were not being filled out in the request_rec. [Tollef Fog Heen , Thom May] Changes with Apache 1.3.28 *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0460 (cve.mitre.org) Fix the rotatelogs support program on Win32 and OS/2 to ignore special control characters received over the pipe. Previously such characters could cause rotatelogs to quit logging and exit. [André Malo] *) Prevent the server from crashing when entering infinite loops. The new LimitInternalRecursion directive configures limits of subsequent internal redirects and nested subrequests, after which the request will be aborted. PR 19753 (and probably others). [William Rowe, Jeff Trawick, Jim Jagielski, André Malo] *) Fix NULL-pointer issue in ab when parsing an incomplete or non-HTTP response. PR 21085. [Glenn Nielsen , André Malo] *) Removed BIND_NOSTART from HP/UX shl_load() logic for loadable Apache modules, so that statics are initialized when the module is loaded (especially critical for c++ modules on HPUX.) [William Rowe, Noah Arliss ] *) Win32 build system changes; always recompile buildmark.c (used for Apache -v 'server built' messages) even when Apache is built from within the IDE; build test_char.h and uri_delims.h from within the ApacheCore.dsp project. PR 12706. [William Rowe] *) Introduce Win32 .pdb diagnostic symbols into the Apache 1.3 build (as created in Apache 2.0.45 and later.) Makes debugging and analysis of crash dumps and Dr. Watson logs trivial. Requires the Win32 binary builder to set aside the exact .pdb files that match the released binaries (.exe/.so files) for reference by users and developers. [William Rowe] *) Make sure the accept mutex is released before calling child exit hooks and cleanups. Otherwise, modules can segfault in such code and, with pthread mutexes, leave the server deadlocked. Even if the module doesn't segfault, if it performs extensive processing it can temporarily prevent the server from accepting new connections. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix mod_rewrite's handling of absolute URIs. The escaping routines now work scheme dependent and the query string will only be appended if supported by the particular scheme. [André Malo] *) Use appropriate language codes for Czech (cs) and Traditional Chinese (zh-tw) in default config files. PR 9427. [André Malo] *) Don't block synchronous signals (e.g., SIGSEGV) while waiting for and holding a pthread accept mutex. [Jeff Trawick] *) AIX: Change the default accept mechanism from pthread back to fcntl. Idle child cleanup doesn't work when the child selected for termination by the parent is waiting on a pthread mutex, and because the AIX kernel's notion of hot process is apparently the same as Apache's, it is common for the Apache parent to continually select a child for termination that the kernel will leave waiting on the mutex for extended periods of time. There are other concerns with pthread mutexes as well, such as the ability to deadlock the server if a child process segfaults while holding the mutex. [Jeff Trawick] *) Fix a pair of potential buffer overflows in htdigest [Martin Schulze , Thom May] *) A newly created child now has a start_time of 0, to prevent mod_status from displaying a bogus value for the "time to process most recent request" column for freshly-started children in a previously-used scoreboard slot. [Martin Kraemer] *) When using Redirect in directory context, append requested query string if there's no one supplied by configuration. PR 10961. [André Malo] *) Fix path handling of mod_rewrite, especially on non-unix systems. There was some confusion between local paths and URL paths. PR 12902. [André Malo] *) backport from 2.x series: Prevent endless loops of internal redirects in mod_rewrite by aborting after exceeding a limit of internal redirects. The limit defaults to 10 and can be changed using the RewriteOptions directive. PR 17462. [André Malo] *) Use the correct locations of srm.conf and access.conf when tailoring the httpd.conf during the install process. PR 9446. [Stanislav Brabec ] *) suexec: Be more pedantic when cleaning environment. Clean it immediately after startup. PR 2790, 10449. [Jeff Stewart , André Malo] *) Fix apxs to insert LoadModule/AddModule directives only outside of sections. PR 8712, 9012. [André Malo] *) Fix suexec compile error under SUNOS4, where strerror() doesn't exist. PR 5913, 9977. [Jonathan W Miner ] *) Unix build: Add support for environment variable EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB, which allows the user to add to the hard-coded ld flags specified for DSOs. Compare with the existing LDFLAGS_SHLIB environment variable, which allows the user to completely replace the hard-coded ld flags specified for DSOs. [Jeff Trawick] *) mod_auth_digest no longer tries to guess AuthDigestDomain, if it's not specified. Now it assumes "/" as already documented. PR 16937. [André Malo] *) In configure always assume suexec-umask to be an octal value by prepending a "0". PR 16984. [André Malo] *) Fix typo in suexec -V output. PR 9034. [Youichirou Koga ] *) Fix bug where 'Satisfy Any' without an AuthType resulted in an "Internal Server Error" response. PR 9076. [André Malo] *) mod_rewrite: Allow "RewriteEngine Off" even if no "Options FollowSymlinks" (or SymlinksIfOwnermatch) is set. PR 12395. [André Malo] *) Change the log messages for setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY) and getsockname() failures to log the client IP address and to change the log level to debug. [Jeff Trawick] *) Correction to mod_negotation for Win32, OS2, Netware etc, where case insensitive requests such as the HEADER or README search from autoindex would fail to match HEADER.html (because the system internally looked for the case-sensitive header.* pattern.) PR 7300 [William Rowe] *) Correction to mod_autoindex so that only text/* files (prefering /html, then /plain, then some other flavor) can be recovered from a multiview-based HEADER or README subrequest. [William Rowe] *) Improvements to mod_usertrack that allows for a regular (verbose) as well as "compact" version of the tracking cookie (the new 'CookieFormat' directive), and the ability to prepend a string to the cookie via the 'CookiePrefix' directive. [Pĺl Lřberg , with cleanup by Jim Jagielski] *) Certain 3rd party modules would bypass the Apache API and not invoke ap_cleanup_for_exec() before creating sub-processes. To such a child process, Apache's file descriptors (lock fd's, log files, sockets) were accessible, allowing them direct access to Apache log file etc. Where the OS allows, we now add proactive close functions to prevent these file descriptors from leaking to the child processes. [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer] *) Prevent obscenely large values of precision in ap_vformatter from clobbering a buffer. [Sander Striker, Jim Jagielski] *) NetWare: implemented ap_os_default_port() to resolve the correct default port based on the request method. This fixes a URL reconstruction problem on a redirect. [Pavel Novy ] *) Added new ap_register_cleanup_ex() API function which allows for a "magic" cleanup function to be run at register time rather than at cleanup time. Also added the ap_note_cleanups_for_(socket|fd|file)_ex() API functions which allows for control over whether that magic cleanup should be called or not. This does not change the default behavior of the non-"ex" function (eg: ap_register_cleanup). [Jim Jagielski, concept by Ben Laurie] *) PORT: Take advantage of OpenBSD's arc4random() function for the initial secret [Henning Brauer ] *) If Listen directive is not a port, but just an IP, emit an error condition as this case is ambiguous. [Rich Bowen, Justin Erenkrantz, Cliff Woolley] *) Update timeout algorithm in free_proc_chain. If a subprocess did not exit immediately, the thread would sleep for 3 seconds before checking the subprocess exit status again. In a very common case when the subprocess was an HTTP server CGI script, the CGI script actually exited a fraction of a second into the 3 second sleep, which effectively limited the server to serving one CGI request every 3 seconds across a persistent connection. PRs 6961, 8664 [Bill Stoddard] *) mod_setenvif: Add SERVER_ADDR special keyword to allow envariable setting according to the server IP address which received the request. [Ken Coar] *) PORT: Enable SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT for AIX 4.3.2 and above. Update AIX configure logic to allow higher AIX release numbers without having to change Apache. [Jeff Trawick] Changes with Apache 1.3.27 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0840 (cve.mitre.org) Prevent a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the default error page. The issue could only be exploited if the directive UseCanonicalName is set to Off and a server is being run at a domain that allows wildcard DNS. [Matthew Murphy] *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0843 (cve.mitre.org) Fix some possible overflows in ab.c that could be exploited by a malicious server. Reported by David Wagner. [Jim Jagielski] *) Included a patch submitted by Sander van Zoest (#9181) and written by Michael Radwin whichs is essentially a work around for the adding headers to error responses. As apache does not go through the proper chain for non 2xx responses. This patch adds an ErrorHeader directive; which is for non 2xx replies the direct analog of the existing Header directive. This is usefull during 3xx redirects or more complex 4xx auth schemes. [Dirk- Willem van Gulik] *) Included the patch submitted by Sander van Zoest (#12712) which prevents just 'anything' being sucked in when doing gobbeling in complete directories - such as editor backup files and other cruft. This patch allows us to tailor/control this properly by allowing simple wildcards such as *.conf. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0839 (cve.mitre.org) Add the new directive 'ShmemUIDisUser'. By default, Apache will no longer set the uid/gid of SysV shared memory scoreboard to User/Group, and it will therefore stay the uid/gid of the parent Apache process. This is actually the way it should be, however, some implementations may still require this, which can be enabled by 'ShmemUIDisUser On'. Reported by iDefense. [Jim Jagielski] *) Fix a problem with the definition of union semun which broke System V semaphores on systems where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long). PR 12072 [] *) The protocol version (eg: HTTP/1.1) in the request line parsing is now case insensitive. This closes a few PRs and implies that ProtocolReqCheck will trigger on *true* invalid protocols. [Jim Jagielski] *) Relaxed mod_digest its parsing in order to make it work with iCal's "WebDAVFS/1.2 (01208000) Darwin/6.0 (Power Macintosh)" User-Agent. Apache (incorrectly) insisted on a quoted URI's in the uri field of the Authorization client header. Not yet done for EBCDIC plaforms. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Back out an older patch for PR 9932, which had some incorrect behavior. Instead, use a backport of the APR fix. This has the nice effect that ap_snprintf() can now distinguish between an output which was truncated, and an output which exactly filled the buffer. [Jim Jagielski] *) The cache in mod_proxy was incorrectly updating the Content-Length value (to 0) from 304 responses when doing validation. Bugz#10128 [Paul Terry , , Jim Jagielski] *) Added support for Berkeley-DB/4.x to mod_auth_db. [Martin Kraemer] *) PR 10993: add image/x-icon to default httpd.conf files [Ian Holsman, Peter Bieringer *) Fix a problem in proxy where headers from other modules were added to the response headers when this was already done in the core already. This resulted in header (and therefore cookie) duplication. [Martijn Schoemaker ] *) Fix FileETags none operation. PR 12202. [Justin Erenkrantz, Andrew Ho ] *) Win32: Fix one byte buffer overflow in ap_get_win32_interpreter when a CGI script's #! line does not contain a \r or \n (i.e. a line feed character) in the first 1023 bytes. The overflow is always a '\0' (string termination) character. *) Add new "suppress-error-charset" environment variable to allow a BrowserMatch workaround for clients that incorrectly use the charset of a redirect as the charset of the target. [Ken Coar] *) Support Caldera OpenUNIX 8. [Larry Rosenman ] *) Use SysV semaphores by default on OpenBSD. [Henning Brauer ] *) httpd -V will now also print out the compile time defined HARD_SERVER_LIMIT value. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]. *) In 1.3.26, a null or all blank Content-Length field would be triggered as an error; previous versions would silently ignore this and assume 0. As a special case, we now allow this and behave as we previously did. HOWEVER, previous versions would also silently accept bogus C-L values; We do NOT do that. That *is* an invalid value and we treat it as such. [Jim Jagielski] *) Add ProtocolReqCheck directive, which determines if Apache will check for a valid protocol string in the request (eg: HTTP/1.1) and return HTTP_BAD_REQUEST if not valid. Versions of Apache prior to 1.3.26 would silently ignore bad protocol strings, but 1.3.26 included a more strict check. This makes it runtime configurable. The default is On. This also removes the requirement on an ANSI sscanf() implementation. [Jim Jagielski] *) NetWare: implemented file locking in mod_rewrite for the NetWare CLib platform. This fixes a bug that prevented rewrite logging from working. [Brad Nicholes] Changes with Apache 1.3.26 *) Potential NULL referencing fixed in the CGI module. It had been there for 5 years. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Ensure that we set the result value in ap_strtol before we return it. [Justin Erenkrantz, Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.25 *) SECURITY: CVE-2002-0392 (cve.mitre.org) [CERT VU#944335] Code changes required to address and close chunked encoding security issues. To support this, we utilize the ANSI functionality of strtol, and provide ap_strtol for completeness. [Aaron Bannert, Justin Erenkrantz, Jim Jagielski, Brian Pane, William Rowe, Cliff Woolley] *) PORT: With OpenBSD 3.1 and up, allow modules to work on their ELF-based architectures. [Brad ] *) Add X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Server to X-Forwarded-For to the proxy. [Thomas Eibner ] *) Fix a problem in mod_proxy: it would not set the number of bytes transferred, so other modules could not access the value from the request_rec->bytes_sent field. [Anthony Howe ] PR#6841 *) Fix a problem in mod_rewrite which would lead to 400 Bad Request responses for rewriting rules which resulted in a local path. Note: This will also reject invalid requests like "HEAD /roaming/martin/IMAP localhost HTTP/1.0" as issued by Netscape-4.x Roaming Profiles (on a DAV-enabled server) [Martin Kraemer] *) SECURITY: CVE-2003-0083 (cve.mitre.org) Disallow anything but whitespace on the request line after the HTTP/x.y protocol string. That prevents arbitrary user input from ending up in the access_log and error_log. Also, special characters (especially control characters) are escaped in the log file now, to make a clear distinction between client-supplied strings (with special characters) and server-side strings. [Martin Kraemer] *) Get rid of DEFAULT_XFERLOG as it is not used anywhere. It was preserved by the build system, printed with "httpd -V", but apart from that completely ignored: the default transfer log is to not produce any transfer log. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fixed sending of binary files under Cygwin. PR 9185. [Cliff Woolley] *) Added Cygwin directory layout to config.layout file. [Stipe Tolj, ] *) Added a '-F' flag; which causes the mother/supervisor process to no longer fork down and detach. But instead stays attached to the tty - thus making live for automatic restart and exit checking code easier. [ Contributed by Michael Handler , Jos Backus [ Dirk-Willem van Gulik ]]. *) Make apxs.pl more flexible (file extensions like .so or .dll are no longer hardcoded). [Stipe Tolj ] *) Add an intelligent error message should no proxy submodules be valid to handle a request. PR 8407 [Graham Leggett] *) Allow child processes sufficient time for cleanups but making ap_select in reclaim_child_processes more "resistant" to signal interupts. Bugz# 8176 [David Winterbourne , Jim Jagielski] *) Recognize platform specific root directories (other than leading slash) in mod_rewrite for filename rewrite rules. Bugz# 7492 [William Rowe] *) For supported versions of Darwin, place dynamically loaded Apache extensions' public symbols into the global symbol table. This allows dynamically loaded PHP extensions. [Marko Karppinen ] *) Correct proxy to be able to handle the unexpected 100-continue reponses sent during PUT or POST requests. [Graham Leggett] *) Correct a timeout problem within proxy which would force long or slow POST requests to close after 300 seconds. [Martin Lichtin , Brian Bothwell ] *) Add support for dechunking chunked responses in proxy. [Graham Leggett] *) Made AB's use of the Host: header rfc2616 compliant by Taisuke Yamada [Dirl-Willem van Gulik]. *) Update the Red Hat Layout to match Red Hat Linux version 7. PR BZ-7422 [Joe Orton] *) Add some popular types to the mime magic file. PR 7730. [Linus Walleij , Justin Erenkrantz] *) Tighten up the overridden-Server-header bugfix in the proxy, by only overriding if the request is a proxy request. It has been pointed out that the previous fix allows CGIs and modules to override the Server header, which is change to previous behavior. [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive] *) Another fix for the multiple-cookie header bug in proxy. With some luck this bug is actually now dead. [Graham Leggett] Changes with Apache 1.3.24 *) Fixed a segfault in mod_include when #if, #elif, #else, or #endif directives were improperly terminated. [Cliff Woolley] *) Win32 SECURITY: CVE-2002-0061 (cve.mitre.org) Introduce proper escaping of command.com and cmd.exe for Win32. These patches close vulnerability CVE-2002-0061, identified and reported by Ory Segal , by which any CGI invocation of .bat or .cmd files could compromise the system when the .bat or .cmd was parsed the query args as an argument to either cmd.exe /c or command.com /c. [William Rowe] *) Add % and \r [C/R] to the dangerous Win32 shell character list. Retain the Unix sh escapes list for compatibility. [William Rowe] *) Pass the command line to the cmd.exe /c interpreter double quoted. This fixes a bug that CGI args ending in a double-quote would cause invocation to fail. Also, treat command.com as a 16-bit executable. [William Rowe] *) Win32; Never invoke cmd or bat scripts based on the registry, even for 'ScriptInterpreterSource Registry' enabled. [William Rowe] *) Provide Win32 users a log of the cgi command invoked, to assist in debugging scripts at LogLevel info. Also provide env vars at LogLevel debug for additional help to admins troubleshooting the ever mysterious "Premature end of script headers" error. [Aaron Bannert] *) Added the 'CGICommandArgs off' directive, to allow admins to disable the query argument passing mechanism in Apache, if future CGI argument vulnerabilities should be discovered. This defaults to 'on', meaning isindex-style query arguments are enabled. [Aaron Bannert] *) When a proxied site was being served, Apache was replacing the original site Server header with it's own, which is not allowed by RFC2616. Fixed. [Graham Leggett] *) Fixed the previous multiple-cookie fix in the proxy. Cookies are broken in that they contain dates which in turn contain commas - so merging and then unmerging them breaks Set-Cookie headers. Sigh. [Graham Leggett] *) Add ap_uuencode to the httpd.exp exports file used by the AIX linker. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: Ignore AcceptMutex directive if it is present [Bill Stoddard] *) mod_rewrite: restored rnd behavior that was broken in 1.3.23. PR 10090, 10185 [Jeroen Boomgaardt ] *) NetWare: Added the command line directive -e that forces all fatal configuration error messages to the logger screen rather than the Apache screen before Apache is unloaded. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Add the ProxyIOBufferSize option. Previously the size of the buffer used while reading from the remote server in proxy was taken from ProxyReceiveBufferSize. [Graham Leggett] *) Fix a NULL variable check in proxy where we were checking the wrong variable. [Geff Hanoian ] *) Fix typo in default config files related to Swedish language documents. PR: 9906, 10040 [Tomas Ögren , Dennis Lundberg ] *) apxs didn't get rebuilt when options were changed. This must have caused much puzzlement in the past. Fixed. [Ben Laurie] *) No idea why an HTTP/1.1 proxy would send an HTTP/1.0 request to a remote server by default. Fixed. [Graham Leggett, Gabriel Russell ] *) NetWare: Added the module mod_log_nw to handle log rotation. This module adds LogRotateDaily and LogRotateInterval to allow all of the custom logs to be either rotated on a daily basis or on a specific interval. Based on a patch by Bertrand Demiddelaer. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fix typo in rotatelogs.8. [Will Lowe ] *) Clean up warnings in mod_proxy [Chuck Murcko ] *) TPF: Use the correct subpool when opening the error log. This prevents a possible SIGPIPE in standalone_main. [David McCreedy ] *) When proxy enabled a slow frontend client to read from an expensive backend server, it would wait until it had delivered the response to the slow frontend client completely before closing the backend connection. The backend connection is now closed as soon as the last byte is read from it, freeing up resources that would have been tied up unnecessarily. [Graham Leggett, Igor Sysoev ] *) The proxy code read chunks from the backend server in a hardcoded amount of 8k. The existing ProxyReceiveBufferSize parameter has been overloaded to specify the size of this buffer. [Graham Leggett, Igor Sysoev ] *) [Security] Prevent invalid client hostnames from appearing in the log file. If a double-reverse lookup was performed (e.g., for an "Allow from .my.domain" directive) but failed, then a spoofed dns-reverse-address could appear in the logs. Now the numeric address is logged instead. Note that reverse-address-spoofing did NOT actually allow access to any protected resource! [Martin Kraemer] *) Some browsers ignore cookies that have been merged into a single Set-Cookie header. Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers are now unmerged in the http proxy before being sent to the client. [Graham Leggett] *) Fix a problem with proxy where each entry of a duplicated header such as Set-Cookie would overwrite and obliterate the previous value of the header, resulting in multiple header values (like cookies) going missing. [Graham Leggett, Joshua Slive] *) Fix a problem with proxy where X-Cache headers were overwriting and then obliterating upstream X-Cache headers from other proxies. [Graham Leggett, Jacob Rief ] *) Win32: Work around a bug in Windows XP that caused data corruption on writes to the network. The WinXP bug is tickled by the combined use of WSADuplicateSocket and blocking send() calls. [Bill Stoddard, Bill Rowe, Allan Edwards, Szabolcs Szakacsits] *) Add 'IgnoreCase' keyword to the IndexOptions directive; if active, upper- and lower-case letters are insignificant in ordering. In other words, all A* and a* files will be listed together, rather than the a* ones after all the [A-Z]* ones. [Tullio Andreatta ] *) NetWare: Implemented the real ap_os_case_canonical_filename() function that retrieves the accurately cased path and file name from the file system. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fix the longstanding bug that errors (returned by src/Configure) would not be noticed by the top level configure script. That was bad for automated configurations. [Martin Kraemer] *) Link with -lpthread on Solaris since we reference pthread functions for the accept mutex. Previously, the link step would succeed but we would link to bogus versions of the pthread functions in libc, apparently breaking accept mutex serialization when "AcceptMutex pthread" was used and apparently breaking some third-party modules whether or not "AcceptMutex pthread" was used. [Jeff Trawick] *) The Location: response header field, used for external redirect, *must* be an absoluteURI. The Redirect directive tested for that, but RedirectMatch didn't -- it would allow almost anything through. Now it will try to turn an abs_path into an absoluteURI, but it will correctly varf like Redirect if the final redirection target isn't an absoluteURI. [Ken Coar] *) apxs: fix bug that prevented -S option from containing quotes. [Ben Laurie] *) ftp proxy: various cosmetic and functional improvements - Allow for /%2f hack (to access the root directory / ) - properly escape generated links in dir listing - do directory listings in ASCII, to avoid problems with EBCDIC servers - close data & control channels to server properly [Martin Kraemer] *) NetWare: Added mod_auth_dbm to the project file. [Brad Nicholes ] Changes with Apache 1.3.23 *) Changed the symbol mapping of the following from API_EXPORT to API_EXPORT_NONSTD: ap_snprintf(), ap_table_do(), ap_bvputs(), ap_log_error(), ap_log_rerror(), ap_log_printf(), ap_rprintf() [William Rowe] *) Fixed a number of mismatched int sizes and signedness problems. Still remains, MSVC's 'interesting' declaration of FD_SET still emits (impotent) warnings. [William Rowe] *) mod_proxy changes: *) Bug fix for ap_proxy_cache_conditional(), unititialized wetag [Zvi Har'El ] *) Add persistent connection handling The patch changes mod_proxy to write the reply-headers using ap_send_http_header() instead of directly using ap_bvputs(). This not only simplifies mod_proxy, in my opinion at least, but enables it to make use of the features of Apache's normal header and persistent connection machinery. [Christian von Roques ] *) Graham Leggett's original 1.3.12 patch, updated for 1.3.19+ Original comments: HTTP/1.1 support for mod_proxy: - support for Cache-Control - conditional support If-Match, If-None-Match, If-Unmodified-Since, Etag - support for content negotiation using Vary - storing of request headers (for Vary support) in cache file - storing of updated response headers (with 304 Not Modified) in cache file - support for 64 bit dates and content-lengths in cache file Fixes: - ProxyPassReverse applied to Content-Location - entity headers no longer stripped from response after cache revalidation - annotation of mod_proxy cache code [Graham Leggett ] changes to preserve binary compatibility with httpd core, clean up [Chuck Murcko ] *) HPUX 11.*: Do not kill the child process when accept() returns ENOBUFS on HPUX 11.*. [] *) PORT: Numerous additions to Cygwin, including: defaulting to Posix thread accept mutex, excluding the call to pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(), better proxy and DBM support, and allowing the use of native Win32 socket ops instead of Cygwin's Posix wrapper (for better performance). The last item required the addition of a new Configure Rule: CYGWIN_WINSOCK. [Stipe Tolj ] *) Use "httpready" accept filter rather than "dataready" on FreeBSD after 4.1.1-RELEASE where it works correctly. [Tony Finch] *) Fix incorrect "Content-Length" header in the 416 "range not satisfiable" response. [Joe Orton ] *) Add FileETag directive to control fields used when constructing an ETag for a file-based resource. Historically the inode, size, and mtimehave been used, but the inode factor broke caching for systems with content fan-out across multiple back-end servers. Now the fields used in the construction can be controlled by configuration directives. Minor MMN bumped; MMN went from 19990320.10 to 19990320.11. [Ken Coar, from a patch by Phil Dietz] *) NetWare: Fixed the access forbidden problem when requesting an empty directory rather than showing the empty listing. [Charles Goldman, Guenter Knauf ] *) Cause Win32 to capture all child-worker process errors in Apache to the main server error log, until the child can open it's own error logs. [William Rowe] *) Revert mod_negotation's handling of path_info and query_args to the 1.3.20 behavior. PR: 8628, 8582, 8538 [William Rowe] *) Modify buff.h and buff.c to enable modules to intercept the output byte stream for dynamic page caching. A pointer to a 'filter callback' function is added to the end of buff.h. This function, if registered by a module, is called at the top of buff_write() and writev_it_all(). [Kevin Mallory ] *) When the default of 'Group #-1' was changed to 'Group "#-1"', the Makefile wasn't updated to recognise the quotation marks. [Owen Boyle ] *) Win32: Do not allow threads to continue handling keepalive requests after a shutdown or restart has ben signaled. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: Accept OPTIONS * requests. [Keith Wannamaker] *) Unixware 7.0 and later did not have a default locking mechanism defined. This bug was introduced in apache 1.3.4. [Dean Gaudet] *) Prevent an Apache module from being loaded or added twice due to duplicate LoadModule or AddModule directives (or a missing ClearModuleList directive). [William Rowe, Brian Pane ] *) Add checkgid app to do run-time validation of Group directive values which might cause the server to fall over, but which are syntactically correct. [Ken Coar] *) NetWare: Added mod_unique_id to the project file. [Brad Nicholes ] *) NetWare: Fixed a link problem with mod_vhost_alias so that it exports the correct MODULE structure. PR 8598 [Brad Nicholes ] *) Unix: The generated install script for binary distributions, install-bindist.sh, now makes DSO files executable, like make install. This allows a binary distribution to work on HP-UX without any manual intervention. PR 7428 [Jeff Trawick] *) Win32: The Apache Win32 developers generally recommend that MaxRequestsPerChild be set to 0 to prevent the child process from ever recycling. However, for those that do require a non-zero setting, this patch fixes a serious bug that can cause an apparent 'server-hang' condition where the server stops responding to requests for a period of time. Prior to this fix, when the child process handled MaxRequestsPerChild connnections, the child process would stop accepting new connections and begin allowing inactive threads to exit. The problem was that a new process would not be created to begin handling requests until the old process fully exited. The old process can take an indeterminate amount of time to exit because it may be sending large responses to clients connected over slow links, or it may have threads blocked in read awaiting requests (eg, one attack mode of the Nimda worm is to establish a connection to the server but not send an HTTP request. This connection will be timed out according to the setting of the Timeout directive, 300 seconds). This fix allows the new process to be immediately started and begin accepting requests when the old child process reaches MaxRequestsPerChild. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: Emit error message when the server bumps up against the ThreadsPerChild configuration limit. This will be useful for admins to detect when their server is running out of threads to handle requests. [Bill Stoddard] *) Test all directories listed with the UserDir directive for validity. Also resolves the Win32/Netware bug of unparsable quoted paths. PR 8238 [William Rowe] Changes with Apache 1.3.22 *) Recognize AIX 5.1. [Jeff Trawick] *) PORT: Support AtheOS (see www.atheos.cx) [Rodrigo Parra Novo ] *) The manual directory is still configurable (as enabled by the 1.3.21 change), but its default setting was reverted to the pre-1.3.21 default as a subdirectory of the DocumentRoot. You can adapt your path in config.layout or with the "configure --manualdir=" switch. [Martin Kraemer] *) Additional correction for the mutex changes on the TPF platform. [David McCreedy ] *) mod_proxy - remove Explain*; replace with ap_log_* [Chuck Murcko ] Changes with Apache 1.3.21 *) Enable mod_mime_magic (experimental) for Win32. [William Rowe] *) Use an installed Expat library rather than the bundled Expat. This fixes a problem where multiple copies of Expat could be loaded into the process space, thus conflicting and causing strange segfaults. Most notably with mod_perl and XML::Parsers::Expat. [Greg Stein] *) Handle user modification of WinNT/2K service display names. Prior versions of Apache only accepted identical internal and display names (where internal service names were space-stripped.) [William Rowe] *) Introduce Win32 -W option for -k install/config to set up service dependencies on the workstation, snmp and other services that given modules or configurations might depend upon. [William Rowe] *) 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] *) Modified mod_mime and mod_negotiation to prevent mod_negotiation from serving any multiview variant containing one or more 'unknown' filename extensions. In PR #8130, mod_negotiation was incorrectly serving index.html.zh.Big5 when better variants were available. The httpd.conf file on the failing server did not have an AddLanguage directive for .zh, which caused mod_mime to loose the file_type information it gleened from parsing the .html extension. The absence of any language preferences, either in the browser or configured on the server, caused mod_negotiation to consider all the variants equivalent. When that occurs, mod_negotiation picks the 'smallest' variant available, which just happened to be index.html.zh.Big5. [Bill Stoddard, Bill Rowe] PR #8130 *) SECURITY: CVE-2001-0731 (cve.mitre.org) Close autoindex /?M=D directory listing hole reported in bugtraq id 3009. In some configurations where multiviews and indexes are enabled for a directory, requesting URI /?M=D could result in a directory listing being returned to the client rather than the negotiated index.html variant that was configured and expected. The work around for this problem (for pre 1.3.21 releases) is to disable Indexes or Multiviews in the affected directories. [Bill Stoddard, Bill Rowe] *) Enabled Win32/OS2/Netware file paths (not / rooted, but c:/ rooted) as arguments for mod_vhost_alias'es directives. [William Rowe] *) Changes for Win32 to assure mod_unique_id's UNIQUE_ID strings really are unique between threads. [William Rowe] *) mod_proxy - fix for Pragma: nocache (HTTP/1.0 only) [Kim Bisgaard ] PR #5668 *) PORT: Some Cygwin changes, esp. improvements for dynamic loading, and cleanups.

Now a 403 FORBIDDEN is returned. This problem was similar to and in the same area as the problem reported and fixed by Martin Kraemer in 1.3.18, only the scope is much narrower and is specific to Windows.

This allows access IFF the authenticated username (from the appropriate AuthUserFile database) matches the username of the UID that owns the document (and equivalent checking for file GID and user's membership in AuthGroupFile). See the mod_auth documentation for examples. (Not supported on Windows.) [Ken Coar] *) Addition of the AcceptMutex runtime directive. The accept mutex method is now runtime controllable. The suite of available methods per platform is defined at compile time (with HAVE_FOO_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT noting that the method is available and works, and USE_FOO_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT noting that it should be the default method in absense of any AcceptMutex line, or via AcceptMutex default) and selectable at runtime. The full (current) suite is uslock, pthread, sysvsem, fcntl, flock, os2sem, tpfcore and none, but not all platforms accept all methods. [Jim Jagielski] *) Parallel to a change in Apache-2.0, the manual directory was moved out of the DocumentRoot tree to simplify the separation of private content&configuration from server's on-line documentation. An "Alias /manual/ ..." projects the manual/ directory (which resides now side-by-side with the icons/ directory) into the logical DocumentRoot. Note that a request to http://server/manual (without the trailing slash) will now behave different than before (it used to redirect to http://server/manual/ but no longer does). [Martin Kraemer] *) Fixed ap_os_canonical_filename() so that it wouldn't try to canonicalize an invalid file name. Also fixed ap_os_is_path_absolute() so that it wouldn't recognize names such as proxy:http://blah as a NetWare volume:pathname. Both of these fixes were necessary to fix mod_proxy problems on NetWare. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fix a storage leak (a strdup() call) in mod_mime_magic. [Jeff Trawick] *) 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.

[Martin Kraemer] *) SECURITY: CVE-2001-0730 (cve.mitre.org) Make support/split-logfile use the default log file if "/" or "\" are present in the virtual host name. This prevents the possible use of specially crafted virtual host names in some configurations to allow writing to any .log file on the system. [Daniel Matuschek , Marc Slemko] PR#7848 *) Added a directive: "AcceptFilter ". To control BSD acccept filters when at compile time SO_ACCEPT_FILTER is detected. The default is still 'on' except when, at compile time, AP_ACCEPT_FILTER_OFF is defined. Also downgraded the fatal exit to a warning when the associated setsocketopt(2) fails for any reason but for ENOPROTOOPT. The latter - which implies that the kernel does not support the filters - now rates only an info level message. All in all this should make it easier to move httpd binaries and config files across BSD machines with varying acceptfilter support. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik ] *) Fix the container to *really* deny all access. Without the Satisfy All, .ht* files could still be fetched if they were within the scope of a Satisfy Any directive.

[David McCreedy ] *) (Cygwin only) Fix problems with signals sent to child processes; Improve auto-configuration for Cygwin. [Stipe Tolj ] *) Added Mod_Vhost_Alias to the project file so that it builds as an external module (VHOST.NLM). [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fix problem with lingering_close() on Windows. Issuing read() on the socket descriptor on Windows always fails. Should be calling recv() instead of read() on Windows. [Bill Stoddard, Bill Rowe] *) Added an abnormal exit clean up routine to make sure that ApacheC NLM is always unloaded cleanly. This fixes the "Ouch! out of memory" problem when restarting Apache for NetWare after an abnormal exit due to configuration errors. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Change the compile switches for ReliantUNIX SVR4 not to use SYSV semaphores, because upon reaching the system limit of semaphores, the whole server exits (not just one child). Apache could be improved to use NO_SEM_UNDO flag (see test/time-sem.c) which is currently implemented only in the time-sem program, but not in apache. Until then, revert to using fcntl() locks. [Martin Kraemer] *) Changes to 'ab': fixed int overruns, 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] Changes with Apache 1.3.20 *) Autodetect if platforms have isnan() and/or isinf() for use in ap_snprintf.c. [Jim Jagielski] *) SECURITY DoS: CVE-2001-1342 (cve.mitre.org) Correct a vulnerability in the Win32 and OS2 ports, by which a client submitting a carefully constructed URI could cause a GP (segment) fault in the child process, which would have to be cleared by the operator to resume operation. This vulnerability introduced no identified means of compromising the server's data. Reported by Auriemma Luigi . [William Rowe, Brian Havard] *) Resolve the Win32 SSI exec cmd bug, where cmd was not executed appropriately against the shell. [William Rowe] *) Added NOESCAPE (NS) flag to RewriteRule and enabled use of '\' to allow escaping of special characters. Previously there was no way to embed either '$' or '%' in the output of a RewriteRule; now 'foo\$1' will result in a literal 'foo$1' appearing in the result rather than 'foo\'. Note that [NS] disables *all* normal URI escaping, so incautious use can give unexpected results. [Ken Coar] *) Add support for Win32 apxs. Note that cygwin builders must use a cygwin perl to avoid the MSWin32 handling. [William Rowe] *) Changed the initial screen handling for NetWare so that the -s parameter will properly destroy the Apache console screen and switch to the system console screen. Also removed the call to clrscr() for NetWare so that any warning messages produced during startup are visible. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Integrate support for the Cygwin 1.x platform (a POSIX emulation layer for Win32 systems, see http://www.cygwin.com) [Stipe Tolj ] *) Hooked calls to opendir() and readdir() so that we could add '.' and '..' to the entry list. By default NetWare does not return these entries which caused mod_autoindex not to display the parent directory entry. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Solved a very serious threading problem with WinNT/2K Services. The moment master_main told that the shutdown was complete, the parent control thread exited Apache, leaving mod_jserv's Java process running and alternately invoking mod_perl's cleanups from the correct thread or the service control thread. [William Rowe] *) Populate the Win32 HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\[apachesvc] key with the Description value of the running server across all Win32 platforms, including NT, ME and 9x.

Change mod_proxy to preserve empty headers. [Christian von Roques ] *) Enhance rotatelogs so that a UTC offset can be specified, and the logfile name can be formatted using strftime(3). [Ken Coar] *) Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in the detection of the default ServerName or IP string (introduced in 1.3.18). [Ignasi Roca, ] *) Make EBCDIC conversion fully configurable. Until now, apache relied on some (incomplete) heuristics, and would fail to correctly serve text files when they had a MIME type of application/anything, like application/x-javascript. The new conversion directives allow defining the conversion based on MIME type or file suffix. [Martin Kraemer] *) 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 HTTPD_USER username.) [Ken Coar] *) Set the Win32 service description in the Services control panel to the server_version string from Apache and the loaded modules. [William Rowe] *) Added a new API for NetWare, ap_os_dso_unsym(), to allow Apache the chance to unimport module symbols before it shuts down. This is necessary so that Apache on NetWare can shutdown cleanly in an error condition such as a failure while reading the httpd.conf file. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Introduce NUL device pipes for stdin and stdout for the parent Win32 service process.

This fixes the problem where MOD_USERDIR was trying to redirect to an absolute NetWare path rather than opening the file at the specified location. This patch fixes PR5826 & 6283. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fixed ap_os_is_path_absolute() in OS.H so that it can tell the between a NetWare path (SYS:/path) and a URL (HTTP://path). [Brad Nicholes ] *) Fixed the sdbm.h bundled in Apache for Win32, bringing it in sync with Perl. Because it didn't have the same geometry as Perl, users reported the first user added with dbmmanage was not recognized. [William Rowe] *) Fixed ap_os_canonical_filename to append a the default volume name if the the path is a full path and does not include the volume name. Since NetWare's current working directory always defaults to the SYS: volume regardless of where the executible started, the default volume will be the volume that is specified in ap_server_root. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Handle port numbers in Host headers properly again after the code was broken in 1.3.15. [Tony Finch] Changes with Apache 1.3.16 [not released] *) None from 1.3.15 [repository tags were the issue, no code altered] Changes with Apache 1.3.15 [not released] *) Fix a new problem introduced with the -k config syntax, that the service installed with the -i flag would attempt to re-install itself when starting the server. [William Rowe, Andrew Braund] *) Fix the declaration of the module structure in mod_example. [Gururaj Upadhye ] PR#7095 *) 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. [Tony Finch] PR#7087 *) Fix the RFC number mentioned when complaining about a missing Host: header. [Alexey Toptygin ] PR#7079 *) Fix Range header processing to properly parse the syntax specified in RFC 2616, and properly handle unsatisfiable requests by returning a 416 error. [Tony Finch, William Rowe] PR#6973 *) Remove some human-readable fluff from the machine-readable mod_status display. [Youichirou Koga ] PR#7025 *) The new Win32 command line option, -k config, replaces the default options for the existing, named service with the options given on the -k config command line. Apache -n servicename -t now displays the default options before it tests the httpd.conf. Use the syntax apache -k config -n servicename -f conffile to upgrade an existing 1.3.x service to the new 1.3.15 default arguments. [William Rowe] *) All Win32 services now support default command line options when starting an Apache service. The command line options given with the apache -k install command, including -d, -f, -D, -C and -c, are all saved in the registry. This change superceeds the old ConfPath entry, so existing services must be reconfigured when upgrading to 1.3.15. [William Rowe] *) The Win32 build is overhauled to use mod_foo.so for all dynamic Apache modules. [William Rowe] *) The Win32 build scripts (makefile.win, Apache.dsw) now build all the usual targets, including the directories htdocs, include, lib, libexec, and cgi-bin. [William Rowe] *) WinNT/2K service can be started from the command line with any desired args (e.g. Apache -k start -n apache-1.3 -D FOO will start the service with the -D FOO option.) This extends what Apache on Win9x already does, even running as a service. [William Rowe] *) WinNT/2K can be started from the Services control panel adding whatever args are desired (e.g. -D ARG) in the 'Start Parameters' box of the start service dialog. These will be passed on and recognized by the service as it starts. [William Rowe] *) Support -k install/-k uninstall on Win32 for compatibility with Apache 2.0. [William Rowe] *) mod_cgi on Win32 and Netware now does a more effective job of capturing all stderr output from user's scripts. PR6161 [Hardy Braunsdorf , Will Rowe] *) mod_status now respects ?refresh=n of 1 or greater. If the given refresh value is not a number, ?refresh is set to 1 second. [William Rowe, Dirk Ahlers PR5067] *) Restore child process consoles to correct 16-bit CGI execution on Windows. Relies on Win9xConHook.dll for Win9x. This patch also assures the Apache window remains titled 'Apache', rather than flickering to the cgi app titles. [William Rowe] *) Added Win9xConHook.dll, which uses hidden console spy windows to handle the shutdown, logoff and Close button events, and dispatch them to Apache just as SetConsoleCtrlHandler does on Win NT/2K. The close button on Win9x now works, and the Win9x service support code moved into this module. [William Rowe] *) Fix messages from the -k start/stop/restart command options on Windows. [William Rowe] *) Allow Win32 users to build mod_isapi, regardless of the age of their Win32 SDK headers. Warning provided if features must be disabled due to old headers. [William Rowe] *) The ScriptInterpreterSource Registry source will now handle any post-scriptname arguments (e.g. cmd script -q), substitute any environment variables (e.g. "%windir%\sysapp.exe") and use the short or long path name as appropriate (e.g. "doit %1" uses the short form, no spaces, while "doit "%1"" uses the long form of the script name, in quotes.) Also, passes all script names in backslash delimited format (instead of slashes). [William Rowe] *) 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] *) Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using mod_vhost_alias with no VirtualScriptAlias directives. [Tony Finch] PR#6829 *) Move the check of the Expect request header field after the hook for ap_post_read_request, since that is the only opportunity for modules to handle Expect extensions. [Justin Erenkrantz ] *) Add default CacheGcInterval of one hour [ Chuck Murcko ] *) Each Netware thread is created in its own thread group to ensure that any context change applies only to the thread in which the change was made. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Relax the syntax checking of Host: headers in order to support iDNS. [Tony Finch] PR#6635 *) Fix Content-Length calculation when doing Range header processing. This makes PDF byteserving work again. [Tony Finch] PR#6711 *) Link with libresolv on UnixWare 7 so that PHP works. [Larry Rosenman ] PR#6780 *) Linux 2.2.x and later do not need a serialised single listener, and sysv semaphores scale better than fcntl. Updated GuessOS to distinguish 2.0.x from 2.2.x -- 2.0.x will still use fcntl. [Andrew Morton , Dean Gaudet] *) Eliminate caching problems of mod_autoindex results, so the last modified date of the directory is returned as the Last-Modified and ETag HTTP header tags are sent if IndexOptions TrackModified directive/option is used. [William Rowe] *) Corrected file path arguments from server conf directives to their canonical form (excluding OS2 - which uses alternate logic.) Resolves a long list of PRs reporting that Win32 paths of the syntax x:\foo were mis-concatinated to the server root as of release 1.3.14. [William Rowe] *) Correct an issue with Alias and ScriptAlias directives that file path arguments were not normalized in canonical form. This correction makes no attempt to normalize regular expression forms of Alias or ScriptAlias. [William Rowe] *) 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 ] *) Normalize all NetWare config directive paths and filespecs to their canonical names. [Brad Nicholes ] *) Update the mime.types file to the registered media types as of 2000-10-19. [Carsten Klapp , Tony Finch] PR#6613 *) 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. [Tony Finch] PR #6671 Changes with Apache 1.3.14 *) Fixes to allow compilation on NetWare [Brad Nicholes ] Changes with Apache 1.3.13 [not released] *) NOTE: A number of Win32 symbols were exported without explicit declaration in the ApacheCore.def file. These are now exported with the same ordinal export values from 1.3.12, but are now named consistent with Apache's conventions. [William Rowe] *) Add support for a "conf directory" which operates similar to /etc/rc.d/init. Basically, if a config file is actually a directory, all the files in that directory will be parsed as conf files. PR #6397 [Jim Jagielski, Lionel Clark ] *) Initial support added for mod_proxy under MPE/iX. [Mark Bixby ] *) Refined UID/GID management and permissions on MPE/iX to deal with some limitations. [Mark Bixby ] *) Updated the MPE DSO code to be compatible with an OS patch that fixed an earlier DSO problem, #include tweakage required for using apxs to build modules without access to the full source tree, and other minor MPE tweaks. [Mark Bixby ] *) 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 support for /, //, //servername and //server/sharename parsing of blocks under Win32 and OS2. [Tim Costello, William Rowe, Brian Havard] *) 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] *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0913 (cve.mitre.org) Fix a security problem that affects some 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 have been possible for an attacker to access any file on the web server. [Tony Finch] *) Add mod_auth_dbm (sdbm flavor) binary build for Win32. [William Rowe] *) 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] *) 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] *) Update Configure script to allow building Apache on IBM's IA64 version of AIX. [Paul Reder] *) NameVirtualHost can now take "*" as an argument instead of an IP address. This allows you to create a purely name-based virtual hosting server that does not have any IP addresses in the configuration file and which ignores the local address of any connections. PR #5595, PR #4455 [Tony Finch] *) Fix processing/merging of Remove* MIME directives. PR #5597 [Sander van Zoest ] *) Fix merging of AddDefaultCharset directive. PR #5872 [Jun Kuriyama ] *) Win32: Work around bug in Win32 select on network reads. Select can indicate a socket has data to read, but the subsequent read can return WSAEWOULDBLOCK. This problem has been observed when running with SSL enabled Apache, specifically, browsers sometimes cannot complete the SSL handshake when an SGC certificate is used, receiving a network error message. [Richard Scholz ] *) Use "accept filtering" on recent versions of FreeBSD iff the kernel is configured to support them. This allows Apache to avoid having to handle new connections until the request has arrived. [Tony Finch] *) Fix error handling in make_sock. [Tony Finch] *) 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] *) Fix problem matching Configure guessos on HP-UX 10. [Victor J. Orlikowski] PR#6015 *) 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 provided if Apache has to assume the IP dotted address string or the localhost/loopback address as the ServerName. The default ServerName is removed from the default Win32 httpd.conf file. [William Rowe] *) Add new directives RemoveType and RemoveEncoding to accompany the RemoveHandler directive added in 1.3.4. AddType, AddEncoding, and AddHandler now all have corresponding 'undo' directives. This allows things like marking foo.tar.gz.asc as *not* being gzipped, so it will be correctly interpreted as an unzipped signature of a gzipped file. [Ken Coar] *) Win32 NT and 2000 services now capture stderr messages that occur before Apache's logs are opened to the Application Event Log. Console and Win9x services now hold the console open for 30 seconds (and may be dismissed with the key) if they exit with an error. [William Rowe] *) Expand Win32 protection for pathname length, to provide protection from future potential bugs such as that which caused directory index to be displayed rather than returning an error. [William Rowe, Allan Edwards ] *) USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT locking on OS/390 [Ovies Brabson] *) Change Win32 the isProcessService() routine to compensate for other helper apps that invoke Apache.exe without a console. Recognize that we are running NT, and use the STARTF_FORCEOFFFEEDBACK flag to be sure that the SCM has invoked the process. [William Rowe, Jim Patterson , Kevin Kiley ] *) Export from Win32 the ap_start_shutdown and ap_start_restart symbols for modules and executables dynamically linked to the core. [William Rowe; Jim Patterson ] *) 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] *) Under Win32, The console input mode is fixed to ignore mouse events and always listen for a Ctrl+C interrupt, even if the console window defaults to another mode. [William Rowe] *) All Win32 services will now perform a graceful restart when given the -n servicename -k restart signal. No equivilant control exists in the service control panel applet or through the NET command. There is no useful acknowledgement on Windows 95/98, however. [William Rowe] *) Significant overhaul of the Win32 port documentation contained in the README-WIN.TXT, as well as the htdocs/manual pages windows.html, win_compiling.html, and the new win_service.html. [Andrew Braund , William Rowe] *) Add 'services' for Windows 95 and 98, including install/uninstall options. The Apache server therefore can start when the OS loads, and will not stop between logoffs. This implementation remains -HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL-. Additional changes provide for clean shutdown of Win95/98 when Apache is running as a 'service' or a console. [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser ] *) USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT on AIX 4.3 and above. This change provides a substantial performance improvement on multi-CPU machines serving large numbers of concurrent clients. [Victor J. Orlikowski ] *) Brought httpd.conf-dist-win into sync with httpd.conf-dist, and added explicit documentation of many Win32 specific features. [William Rowe] *) Convert Win32 build files (.dsp) to MSVC 6.0 format, and add perl scripts cvstodsp5.pl and dsp5tocvs.pl for portability to version 5.0. [William Rowe] *) Fix mod_expires to merge its settings for Cache-Control into any existing value for the field. It was unconditionally setting it, wiping out anything from, say, a 'Header Append Cache-Control'. [Ken Coar] PR#5769 *) Add Win32 option -k stop as an alias of -k shutdown, to correspond to the NET START/NET STOP syntax. [William Rowe] *) Force Apache to test the Win32 config prior to any operation, except the [-k shutdown -n service] and [-u -n service] combinations. [William Rowe] *) Add Win32 Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break/Close/Logoff/Shutdown handler. [William Rowe, Jan Just Keijser ] *) Expand mod_setenvif so its directives can be used in and containers, and in .htaccess files when FileInfo overriding is allowed. [Ken Coar] PR#3000 *) SECURITY: CVE-2000-0505 (cve.mitre.org) Fix Win32 bug when pathname length exactly equals MAX_PATH. This bug caused directory index to be displayed rather than returning an error. [Allan Edwards ] *) Correct mod_proxy Win95 dynamic link __declspec(thread) bug. David Whitmarsh PR: 1462, 2216, 3645 *) Changed Apache for NetWare build to link with XDC data which marks the NLMs as being able to run on any processor. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Ported expat-lite to NetWare and integrated project files into the ApacheNW.mcp. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Switched thread storage data mechanism on NetWare to use updated system calls. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Fixed problem with multilanguage support that prevented Apache on NetWare from displaying the correct language page. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Fixed memory leaks on NetWare port. When unloading Apache with the developer option turned on NetWare would spew messages complaining about unreleased resources. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Fixed a problem that prevented Apache on NetWare from shutting down correctly when loading multiple instances in individual address spaces. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Changed threading primitives to use faster more scalable calls. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Added -s option for NetWare port to allow Apache to run without a screen. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Added code for NetWare port to display the listening ports and loaded DSO modules to the console screen. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Removed ugly NetWare specific code from the modules and added libpre.c and libprews.c instead. These files implement the NLM startup code for shared NLMs (DSOs). The result of using these files is less obtrusive code, faster load times, and a smaller executable size. libprews.c contains WSAStartup and WSACleanup WinSock calls needed for initialization and termination of DSO modules. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Moved htpasswd and htdigest projects files for NetWare into the main ApacheNW.mcp project file. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Added mod_tls (SSL/TLS) module for NetWare SSL/TLS support. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Updated httpd.conf-dist-nw with directives around standard DSO modules. [Mike Gardiner ] *) Correct mod_proxy Win32 garbage collection bug (clean failing due to stat() against directory). PR: 1891, 3278, 3640, 4139, 5997 [Michael Friedel ] *) 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] *) Set default ServerName setting to 127.0.0.1 for the Windows config file (httpd.conf-dist-win) PR: 5509, 5783, 5953, 5903, 5983, 5259, 5515, 5858 [Oliver Wendemuth ] *) [EBCDIC] Update mod_mmap_static so that an ebcdic box can use MMapFile for files that shouldn't be converted from ebcdic->ascii. [Greg Ames] *) Revamp the Win32 make environment. 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). Extraneous compiler files were removed (precompiled headers, incremental link images), and .map files were added for consistent diagnostics of gpfaults of the binary release. [William Rowe, Greg Marr, Tim Costello, Bill Stoddard] *) Resolved Win32 mod_info (ApacheModuleInfo.dll) errors. PR1442, PR2472, PR4125, PR1643 and PR2208 Jim Patterson, Jan Just Keijser *) 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] PR#3945, 5253, 5383, 5558 *) PORT: Add recognition of the GNU/Hurd platform. [Adam Farrell ] *) More FAQs and answers from comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix. [Joshua Slive ] *) Win32: Add dependency checking to the CreateService call to ensure TCPIP and AFP (winsock) are started before Apache. [William Rowe ] *) FAQ changes related to tidying up historical documents on the web site. [Joshua Slive ] *) Various fixes to mod_auth_digest: - Reworked MD5-sess stuff. The semantics of userpw_hash() have been changed for it to return MD5(MD5(username ":" realm ":" password) ":" nonce ":" cnonce) instead of just MD5(username ":" realm ":" password) because one of the points of MD5-sess is to allow the info to be retrieved from login servers so that the server itself never has the full auth info (after all, MD5(u/r/p) is equivalent to the password for auth purposes). - In order to allow for servers to share a realm the server-name and port have been removed from the nonce-hash. Even so, sharing the realm has problems - see the new comments at the beginning. - Fixed uri-comparison when request-uri isn't identical to uri in Authorization header (some fields were not being initialized). - Handle non-FQDN's (i.e. simple hostnames) in uri parameter in the Authorization header. Thanks to Joe Orton for pointing out the problem. [Ronald Tschalär] *) Add case_preserved_filename field to the request_rec structure. On systems with case insensitive file systems (Windows, OS/2, etc.), r->filename is case canonicalized (folded to either lower or upper case, depending on the specific system) to accomodate file access checking. case_preserved_filename is the same as r->filename except case is preserved. There is at least one instance where Apache needs access to the case preserved filename: Java class files published with WebDAV need to preserve filename case to make the Java compiler happy. [Bill Stoddard] *) Put in Korean and Norwegian index.html pages (2.0 and 1.3) which where donated by Lee Kuk Hyun and Lorant Czaran [dirkx]. *) Modules which load third-party DLLs (ala mod_dav) expect them to be in the path or cwd. Tweak the service startup code to not only change to correct drive but also correct directory. [Keith Wannamaker ] *) WinNT: Do a better job at handling spaces in service names. Add the util function ap_remove_spaces and export it on all platforms. Change some Win32 service and registry functions to make use of this new function.

SGI's remaining changes are not taken over, because they are either cluttering the Apache 1.3 sources too much (e.g. the lint(1) related changes) or cause too much internal changes (e.g. the ap_int32 types, etc.) which are not reasonable to do any longer for Apache 1.3 (they should be done for Apache 2.0 instead).

[Ken Coar] *) Fix various compile time warnings in hashbang_emul code which prevent successful compilation on OS/390 [Ovies Brabson , Paul Gilmartin ] *) EBCDIC: Fixed binary upload capability (plain and chunked) for all methods using the ap_*_client_block() functions, most notably POST and PUT. The functionality to switch input between protocol parts (chunks) and (possibly binary) data had been missing all the time, making chunked PUT impossible until now. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fixed a recently introduced off-by-one-character bug in mod_rewrite's expansion of expression back-references. [Cliff Woolley ] PR#4766 PR#5389 *) Add IndexOptions DescriptionWidth so that the width of the description field in fancy-indexed directory listings can be specified. [Ken Coar] PR#2324, plus lots that are closed unsatisfied *) EBCDIC: Escaped characters were encoding the ebcdic representation of the special characters, not the latin1 representation. This would result in invalid URI's for, e.g., filenames (with special chars) in mod_autoindex.c [Martin Kraemer] *) EBCDIC: Fix Byte Ranges for EBCDIC platforms. The necessary switch between implied conversion for protocol parts and configured conversion for document data was missing. The effect of this was that PDF files could not be read by Acrobat Reader (which sends long lists of byte ranges in each request) when the server was apache on ebcdic machines. [Noted by Oliver Reh , solved by Martin Kraemer, warnings fixed by Ovies Brabson ] *) Add IndexOptions FoldersFirst to allow fancy-indexed directory listings to have the subdirectories always listed at the top. [Ken Coar] *) BS2000: Use send() instead of write() in the core buff routines for better performance and fewer restrictions (max. transfer size) [Martin Kraemer] *) If the compiler sanity check fails, force the verbose output for TestCompile so people can have a clue what the problem is. [Jim Jagielski] *) Add --iconsdir, --htdocsdir, and --cgidir option to top-level configure script to allow one to override the corresponding variables from config.layout. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed `quad integer' (aka `long long') handling in ap_snprintf.c [Jim Jagielski, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed error handling in dbmmanage script. [Andrew McRae ] PR#4973 *) Fixed NEXT/OpenStep building by adding an fallback typedef for rlim_t to ap_config.h. [Mark Miller ] PR#4906 *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX by backing-out a change (comitted between 1.3.7 and 1.3.9) which changed the DSO extension from `sl' to `so'. This worked only for modules (where we load the DSO manually), but horribly fails under HPUX for DSO-based/shared libraries (where our $SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME is used, too). [Gary Silverman ] PR#4974 *) Added support for Berkeley-DB/3.x to mod_auth_db. [Steve Atkins , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#5382 *) Fixed mod_auth_digest.c: result of an open() call was being checked against the wrong failure value. [Rick Ohnemus ] PR#5292 *) Removed the variable name "template" from a prototype for SunOS4 in ap_config.h to make C++ compiler happy, too. [SAKAI Kiyotaka ] PR#5363 *) Added missing links to htdocs/manual/mod/directives.html for AllowCONNECT and ProxyDomain. [Patrik Grip-Jansson , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#5319 *) Fixed typo in htdocs/manual/install.html. [Chris Pepper ] PR#5360 *) Fix $AWK/awk usage in top-level configure script: We confused ourself and replaced the wrong "$AWK" with a plain "awk" in the last releases. So we now both fix this and move the comment which already tried to explain it more closer to the location to which it applies. [Paul Gilmartin , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#5304 *) Replaced pipes with commas in GuessOS' fallback output (displayed for not explicitly recognized platforms) to avoid side-effects with APACI's --shadow feature and similar uses where GuessOS' output is used directly on the filesystem (where pipes are meta-characters!). [Paul Gilmartin ] PR#5303 *) Made stripping of a trailing slash in directory names in top-level configure script more robust and this way support also a plain `/' as the argument without resulting in an empty name. [Matthias Lohmann , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#5291 *) Made `tr' usage in top-level configure script more portable by always using square brackets consistently. [Masashi Kizaki ] PR#5230 *) Fixed ap_config_auto.h generation in src/Configure: there for the ``quad integer'' stuff ``#ifndef+#undef+#endif'' pairs were generated instead of ``#ifdef+#undef+#endif'' pairs. [Greg Siebers ] PR#5231 *) EBCDIC: fix the hsregex package to correctly deal with [a-zA-Z] type character ranges (the alphabet is non-contiguous in EBCDIC) and with the special [:cntrl:] range (the control character class is determined dynamically at run time). [Martin Kraemer] *) Add --with-port option to APACI. [Ian Kallen ] *) Fixed QUERY_STRING handling for `RewriteRule ... [P]' in per-directory context. [Martin Zeh ] PR#5073 *) Overhauled mod_rewrite's general substitution function (expand_backref_inbuffer): 1. The `$0' backreference is now officially allowed and documented and references the while pattern space; 2. the ampersamp (&) backreference (which is equal to $0) is no longer expanded, because it was never documented and only leads to confusion with QUERY_STRINGS; 3. backslashes (\) are honored correctly, that is `\$N' now really forces the dollar to be an ordinary character and $N is not expanded. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4766 PR#4161 *) Make sure mod_rewrite escapes QUERY_STRINGS on redirects. [Klaus Johannes Rusch ] PR#4734 *) Make sure mod_rewrite matches URL schemes case-insensitive and also allow additional (commonly used) URL schemes ldap:, news: and mailto:. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Klaus Johannes Rusch ] PR#3140 *) Overhauled ApacheBench (ab) manpage ab.8. [Simon Baldwin ] PR#5139 *) Made sure ApacheBench (ab) performs no more requests than specified on command line (option -n). [Jim Cox ] PR#4839 *) Support DSOs properly on 32-bit HP-UX 11.0 [Dilip Khandekar ] *) Fix problem with proxy configuration where globally set configuration options were overridden inside virtual hosts. [Graham Leggett ] *) Fix ProxyReceiveBufferSize where default value was left uninitialised. [Graham Leggett ] *) Added a CLF '-' respecting %B to the log format. Suggested by Ragnar Kjřrstad [dirkx] *) Added protocol(%H)/method(%m) logging to the log format. Suggested by Peter W [dirkx] *) Added a HEAD method to 'ab'. [dirkx] *) When generating the Location: header, mod_speling forgot to escape the spelling-fixed uri. [Martin Kraemer] *) Update for the next release of the TPF OS (PUT11) [David McCreedy ] *) Add some compile-time flags to the output when -V is used for TPF [David McCreedy ] *) mod_auth_digest fixes: - Use unix-io instead of stdio to read /dev/random (fixes problems on FreeBSD) [Kano ] PR#4967 - Correctly unescape all parts of the request uri and the uri attribute of the Authorization header before doing comparison [Joe Orton , Ronald Tschalär] - Fixes for MD5-sess [Joe Orton ] - Don't send a domain attribute in Proxy-Authenticate [Ronald Tschalär] *) ap_base64decode_binary does not null-terminate the output anymore [Bill Stoddard, Ronald Tschalär] *) WIN32: The following bugs introduced in Apache 1.3.9 have been fixed - CGIs broken if script calls other programs which deliver on stdout (Search this file for "DETACHED") - 16 bit CGIs should work now - Server will not start if passed the -d option with spaces in the argument. [Bill Stoddard] *) WIN32: GetExtensionVersion() comparison in mod_isapi fails when using some non-MS compilers [Bill Stoddard] PR#3597, PR#3782, PR#3781, PR#4887 *) Allow BeOS to use its native closesocket() call [David Reid ] *) More TPF changes. Code reorganization for cleanliness, regex changes for testing, as well as doc and build updates. [David McCreedy and others at IBM] *) Add TPF processing for the socket read to the rfc1413 code. [David McCreedy and others at IBM] *) Require the batch (-b) option and default to MD5 on TPF in htpasswd. [David McCreedy and others at IBM] *) 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 *) Build errors in src/support stop with an error, just like all the other recursive make calls. [David Harris ] Changes with Apache 1.3.9 *) Remove bogus error message when a redirect doesn't set Location. Instead, use an empty string to avoid coredump if the error message was supposed to include a location. [Roy Fielding] *) Don't allow configure to include mod_auth_digest unless it is explicitly requested, even if the user asked for all modules. [Roy Fielding] *) Translate module names to dll names for OS/2 so that they are no more than 8 characters long and have an extension of "dll" instead of "so". [Brian Havard] *) Print out pointer to Rule DEV_RANDOM when truerand lib not found. Fix test-compile check to check for randbyte instead of trand32. Use ap_base64encode_binary/decode instead of copy in mod_auth_digest.c and tweak to make Amaya happier. [Ronald Tschalär] *) Ensure that the installed expat include files are world readable, just like the other header files. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fixed generated AddModule adjustments in APACI's `configure' script in order to allow (new) modules like mod_vhost_alias to be handled correctly (which was touched by the adjustments for mod_alias). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) For binary builds, add -R flag to apachectl to work around the lack of an absolute path to the ./libexec directory where the libhttp.ep file is needed for SHARED_CORE architectures. [Randy Terbush] *) WIN32: Create the CGI script process as DETACHED. This may solve the problem observed by some Win95/98 users where they get CGI script output sent to the console. [Bill Stoddard] *) Fix (re)naming in the uuencode/decode section. The ap/ap_ routines are now called ap_base64* and are 'plain' (i.e., no pool access or anything clever). Inside util.c the routines acting like pstrdup are called ap_pbase64encode() and ap_pbase64decode(). The oddly named ap_uuencode(), ap_uudecode() are kept around for now but deprecated. [dirkx] *) Clean up the base64 and SHA1 additions and make sure they are represented in the ApacheCore.def, ApacheCoreOS2.def, and httpd.exp files. [Roy Fielding] *) WIN32: Migrate to InstallShield 5.5 and provide a bit more error checking. Allow compiling on VS 6.0. [Randy Terbush] *) Fixed assumption of absolute paths in binbuild.sh. [Tony Finch] *) Use TestCompile to search for the truerand library (rather than blindly assuming its existence). If it is not found, complain (but do not exit - yet). [Martin Kraemer] *) We forgot to add the new exported function names to src/support/httpd.exp. [Bill Stoddard, Randy Terbush] *) Add description of -T command-line option to usage(). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) For "some" platforms (notably, EBCDIC based ones), libos needs to be searched only AFTER libap has been searched, because libap needs some symbols from libos. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fix conflict with original mod_digest related to the symbol of the module dispatch list (which has to be unique for DSO and follow the usual conventions for the installation procedure). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add a dbm-library check for the "usual places" (-ldbm, -lndbm, -ldb) for other platforms as well. [Martin Kraemer] *) Make ap_sha1.c compile for EBCDIC platforms: replace remaining LONG types by AP_LONG and replace reference to renamed variable 'ubuf' by 'buffer'. [Martin Kraemer] Changes with Apache 1.3.8 [not released] *) Flush the output buffer immediately after sending an error or redirect response, since the result may be needed by the client to abort a long data transfer or restart a series of pipelined requests. [Tom Vaughan , Roy Fielding] *) PORT: Improved compilation and DSO support on Sequent DYNIX/ptx. [Ian Turner ] PR#4735 *) Local struct mmap in http_core.c conflicted with system structure name on DYNIX -- changed to mmap_rec. [Roy Fielding] PR#4735 *) Added updated mod_digest as modules/experimental/mod_auth_digest. [Ronald Tschalär ] *) Fix a memory leak where the module counts were getting messed up across restarts. [David Harris ] *) CIDR addresses such as a.b.c.d/24 where d != 0 weren't handled properly in mod_access. ["Paul J. Reder" ] PR#4770 *) RewriteLock/RewriteMap didn't work properly with virtual hosts. [Dmitry Khrustalev ] PR#3874 *) PORT: Support for compaq/tandem/com. [Michael Ottati , dirkx] *) Added SHA1 password encryption support to easy migration from Netscape servers. See support/SHA1 for more information. Caused the separation of ap_md5.c into md5, sha1 and a general ap_checkpass.c with just a validate_passwd routine. Added a couple of flags to support/htpasswd. Some reuse of the to64() function; hence renamed to ap_to64(). [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Clinton Wong ] *) Change for EBCDIC platforms (TPF and BS2000) to correctly deal with ASCII/EBCDIC conversions in "ident" query. [David McCreedy ] *) Get rid of redefinition warning on MAC_OS_X_SERVER platform. Change "Power Macintosh" to Power* so if uname prints "Power Book" we're still happy on Rhapsody platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Fix SIGSEGV on some systems because the Vary fix below included a call to table_do with a variable argument list that was not NULL terminated. Replaced with better implementation. [Roy Fielding] Changes with Apache 1.3.7 [not released] *) The "Vary" response header field is now sanitised right before the header is sent back to the client. Multiple "Vary" fields are combined, and duplicate tokens (e.g., "Vary: host, host" or "Vary: host, negotiate, host, accept-language") are reduced to single instances. This is a better solution than the force-no-vary one (which is still valid for clients that can't cope with Vary at all). [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Ken Coar] PR#3118 *) Portability changes for BeOS. [David Reid ] *) Link DSO's with "gcc -shared" instead of "ld -Bshareable" at least on Linux and FreeBSD for now. [Rasmus Lerdorf] *) Win32: More apache -k restart work. Restarts are now honored immediately and connections in the listen queue are -not- lost. This is made possible by the use of the WSADuplicateSocket() call. The listeners are opened in the parent, duplicated, then the duplicates are passed to the child. The original listen sockets are not closed by the parent across a restart, thus the listen queue is preserved. [Bill Stoddard ] *) Fix handling of case when a client has sent "Expect: 100-continue" and we are going to respond with an error, but get stuck waiting to discard the body in the pointless hope of preserving the connection. [Roy Fielding, Joe Orton ] PR#4499, PR#3806 *) Fix 'configure' to work correctly with SysV-based versions of 'tr' (consistent with Configure's use as well). [Jim Jagielski] *) apxs: Add "-S var=val" option which allows for override of CFG_* built-in values. Add "-e" option which works like -i but doesn't install the DSO; useful for editing httpd.conf with apxs. Fix editing code so that multiple invocations of apxs -a will not create duplicate LoadModule/AddModule entries; apxs can now be used to re- enable/disable a module. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Win32: Update the server to use Winsock 2. Specifically, link with ws2_32.lib rather than wsock32.lib. This gives us access to WSADuplcateSocket() in addition to some other enhanced comm APIs. Win 95 users may need to update their TCP/IP stack to pick up Winsock 2. (See http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/) [Bill Stoddard ] *) Win32: Redirect CGI script stderr (script debug info) into the error.log when CGI scripts fail. This makes Apache on Win32 behave more like Unix. [Bill Stoddard ] *) Fixed `httpd' usage display: -D was missing. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4614 *) Fix `make r' test procedure in src/regex/: ap_isprint was not found. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4561, PR#4562 *) OS/2: Fix problem with accept lock semaphores where server would die with "OS2SEM: Error 105 getting accept lock. Exiting!" [Brian Havard] PR#4505 *) Add DSO support for DGUX 4.x using gcc. Tested on x86 platforms. [Randy Terbush ] *) Add the new mass-vhost module (mod_vhost_alias.c) developed and used by Demon Internet, Ltd. [Tony Finch ] *) Better GCC detection for DSO flags under Solaris 2 where the `cc' command potentially _is_ GCC. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix apxs build issues on AIX [Rasmus Lerdorf ] *) DocumentRoot Checking: Under previous versions, when Apache first started up, it used to do a stat of each DocumentRoot to see if it existed and was a directory. If not, then an error message was printed. THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED. If DocumentRoot does not exist, you will get error messages in error_log. If the '-t' command line option is used (to check the configuration) the check of DocumentRoot IS performed. An additional command line option, '-T', has been added if you want to avoid the DocumentRoot check even when checking the configuration. [Jim Jagielski] *) Win32: The query switch "apache -S" didn't exit after showing the vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions. [Bill Stoddard - Fixed by Martin on Unix in 1.3.4] *) Win32: Changed behaviour of apache -k restart. Previously, the server would drain all connections in the stack's listen queue before honoring the restart. On a busy server, this could take hours. Now, a restart is honored almost immediately. All connections in Apache's queues are handled but connections in the stack's listen queue are discarded. Restart triggered by MaxRequestPerChild is unchanged. [Bill Stoddard ] *) Win32: Eliminated unnecessary call to wait_for_multiple_objects in the accept loop. Good for a 5% performance boost. Cleaned up parent/child process management code. [Bill Stoddard ] *) Added ceiling on file size for memory mapped files. [John Giannandrea ] PR#4122 *) Fix ndbm.h include problems with brain-dead glibc >= 2.1 which has ndbm.h in a non-standard db1/ subdir. PR#4431, PR#4528 [Henri Gomez , Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Determine AP_BYTE_ORDER for ap_config_auto.h and already use this at least for Expat. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Allow .module files to specify libraries with Lib:. [Ben Laurie] *) Allow SetEnvIf[NoCase] to test environment variables as well as header fields and request attributes. [Ken Coar] *) Fix mod_autoindex's handling of ScanHTMLTitles when file content-types are "text/html;parameters". [Ken Coar] PR#4524 *) Remove "mxb" support from mod_negotiation -- it was a draft feature never accepted into any standard, and it opens up certain DoS attacks. [Koen Holtman ] *) TestCompile updated. We can now run programs and output the results during the Configure process. [ Jim Jagielski] *) The source is now quad (long long) aware as needed. Specifically, the Configure process determines the correct size of off_t and *void. When the OS/platform/compiler supports quads, ap_snprintf() provides for the 'q' format qualifier (if quads are not available, 'q' is silently "demoted" to long). [Jim Jagielski] *) When the username or password fed to htpasswd is too long, include the size limit in the error message. Also report illegal characters (currently only ':') in the username. Add the size restrictions to the man page. [Ken Coar] *) Fixed the configure --without-support option so it doesn't result in an infinite loop. [Marc Slemko] *) Piped error logs could cause a segfault if an error occured during configuration after a restart. [Aidan Cully ] PR#4456 *) If a "Location" field was stored in r->err_headers_out rather than r->headers_out, redirect processing wouldn't find it and the server would core dump on ap_escape_html(NULL). Check both tables and raise HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR with a log message if Location isn't set. [Doug MacEachern, Ken Coar] *) Add RULE_EXPAT, the src/lib/ directory structure, and a modified copy of the Expat 1.0.2 distribution. [Greg Stein] *) Replace regexec() calls with calls to a new API stub function ap_regexec(). This solves problems with DSO modules which use the regex library. [Jens-Uwe Mager , Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add 'Request_Protocol' special keyword to mod_setenvif so that environment variables can be set according to the protocol version (e.g., HTTP/0.9 or HTTP/1.1) of the request. [Ken Coar] *) Add DSO support for OpenStep (Mach 4.2) platform. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Rex Dieter ] PR#3997 *) Fix sed regex for generating ap_config_auto.h in src/Configure. [Jan Gallo ] PR#3690, PR#4373 *) Switch to /bin/sh5 in APACI on Ultrix and friends to avoid problems with their brain-dead /bin/sh. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4372 *) Better DSO flags recognition on NetBSD platforms using ELF. [Todd Vierling ] PR#4310 *) Always log months in english format for %t in mod_log_config. [Petr Lampa ] PR#4366, 679 *) Support for server-parsed and multiview-determined ReadmeName and HeaderName files in mod_autoindex. Removed the restriction on "/"s in ReadmeName and HeaderName directives since the *sub_req* routines will deal with the access issues. (It's now possible to have {site|group|project|customer|...} wide readmes and headers.) [Raymond S Brand , Ken Coar] PR#1574, 3026, 3529, 3569, 4256 *) When stat() fails, don't assume anything about the contents of the struct stat. [Ed Korthof ] *) It's OK for a semop to return EINTR, just loop around and try again. [Dean Gaudet] *) Fix configuration engine re-entrant hangups, which solve a handful of problems seen with mod_perl configuration sections [Salvador Ortiz Garcia ] *) Mac OS and Mac OS X Server now use the appropriate custom layout by default when building with APACI; allow for platform-specific variable defaults in configure. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Do setgid() before initgroups() in http_main; some platforms zap the grouplist when setgid() is called. This was fixed in suexec earlier, but the main httpd code missed the change. [Rob Saccoccio ] PR#2579 *) Add recognition of .tgz as a gzipped tarchive. [Bertrand de Singly ] PR#2364 *) mod_include's fsize/flastmod should allow only relative paths, just like "include file". [Jaroslav Benkovsky ] *) OS/2: Add support for building loadable modules using DLLs. [Brian Havard] *) Add iconsdir, htdocsdir, and cgidir to config.layout. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Fix minor but annoying bug with the test for Configuration.tmpl being newer than Configuration so that it is less likely to fail when using APACI and shadow sources. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) PORT: Add initial support for Mac OS (versions 10.0 and greater). Use Mac OS X Server layout for now. Clean up dyld code in unix/os.c, and don't install the dyld error handlers, which are no longer needed in Mac OS. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Rename Rhapsody layout to "Mac OS X Server". Change install locations to appropriate ones for user-built (as opposed to system) installs. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Modify mod_autoindex's handling of AddDescription so that the behaviour matches the documentation. [Ken Coar] PR#1898, 3072. *) Add functionality to the install-bindist.sh script created by binbuild.sh to use tar when copying distribution files to the serverroot. This allows upgrading an existing installation without nesting the new distribution in the old. install-bindist.sh now detects the local perl5 path to install apxs and dbmmanage with proper path to perl interpreter. Add an install-binsupport target which copies the source files for apxs and dbmmanage to bindist to allow these scripts to be properly installed relative to the destination serverroot. [Randy Terbush, Covalent Technologies, ] *) Fix intermittent SEGV in ap_proxy_cache_error() in src/modules/proxy_util.c where a NULL filepointer and temporary filename were closed and unlinked. [Graham Leggett , Tim Costello ] PR#3178 *) Fix inconsistent error messages reported by mod_proxy. [Graham Leggett ] *) OS/2: Fix terminating CGIs that aren't compiled by EMX GCC when a connection is aborted. [Brian Havard] *) Force the LANG envariable to the known state of "C" so that we have assurance about how string manipulators (e.g., tr) will function. [Ken Coar] PR#1630 *) Add a directive to allow customising of the tracking cookie name. [Ken Coar] PR#2921, 4303 *) Add "force-no-vary" envariable to allow servers to work around clients that choke on "Vary" fields in the response header. [Ken Coar, Dmitry Khrustalev ] PR#4118 *) Fixed a bug in mod_dir that causes a child process will infinitely recurse when it attemps to handle a request for a directory wnd the value of the DirectoryIndex directive is a single dot. Also likely to happen for anyother values of DirectoryIndex that will map back to the same directory. The handler now only considers regular files as being index candidates. No PR#s found. [Raymond S Brand ] *) Ease configuration debugging by making TestCompile fall back to using "make" if the $MAKE variable is unset [Martin Kraemer] *) Fixed the ServerSignature directive to work as documented. [Raymond S Brand ] PR#4248 *) Add "opt" (SysV-style) layout to config.layout. [Raymond S Brand ] *) Add APACI --without-execstrip option which can be used to disable the stripping of executables on installation. This is very important for DSO and debugging situations. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add support for OS/2 (case insenstive filesystem, .exe suffix, etc) to APACI files and related scripts. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4269 *) Add support for standalone mode in TPF [Joe Moenich ] *) Fix number of bytes copied by read_connection() in src/support/ab.c [Jim Cox ] PR#4271 *) Fix special RewriteCond "-s" pattern matching. [Bob Finch ] *) Fix value quoting in src/Configure script for ap_config_auto.h [Paul Sutton ] *) Make sure RewriteLock can be used only in the global context, (i.e. outside of any sections) because it's a global facility of the rewrite engine. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix the ownership delegation for proxy directory under `make install'. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) APACI would not correctly build suexec. [Maria Verina ] PR#4260 *) mod_mime_magic passed only the first 4k of a file to uncompress/gzip, but those tools sometimes do not produce any output unless a sufficient portion of the compressed file is input. Change to pass the entire file -- but only read 4k of output. [Marcin Cieslak ] PR#4097 *) "IndexOptions None" generated extra spaces at the end of each line. [] PR#3770 *) The "100 Continue" response wasn't being sent after internal redirects. [Jose KAHAN ] PR#3910, 3806, 3575 *) When padding the name with spaces for display, mod_autoindex would count &, <, and > in their escaped width, messing up the display. [Dean Gaudet] PR#4075, 3758 *) PORT: fixed a compilation problem on NEXT. [Jacques Distler ] PR#4130 *) r->request_time wasn't being set properly in certain error conditions.

[Dean Gaudet] PR#4225 *) Prevent clobbering saved IFS values in APACI. [Jim Jagielski] *) Fix buffer overflows in ap_uuencode and ap_uudecode pointed out by "Peter 'Luna' Altberg " and PR#3422 [Peter 'Luna' Altberg , Ronald Tschalär] *) Make {Set,Unset,Pass}Env per-directory instead of per-server. [Ben Laurie] *) Correct an apparent typo: on the Windows and MPE platforms, the htpasswd utility was limiting passwords to only 8 characters. [Ken Coar] *) EBCDIC platforms: David submitted patches for two bugs in the MD5 digest port for EBCDIC machines: a) the htdigest utility overwrote the old contents of the digest file b) the Content-MD5 header value (ContentDigest directive) was wrong when the returned file was not converted from EBCDIC, but was a binary (e.g., image file) in the first place. [David McCreedy at IBM] *) support/htpasswd now permits the password to be specified on the command line with the '-b' switch. This is useful when passwords need to be maintained by scripts -- particularly in the Win32 environment. [Ken Coar] *) Win32: Win32 multiple services patch. Added capability to install and run multiple copies of apache as individual services. Example 1: apache -n apache1 -i -f c:/httpd.conf Installs apache as service 'apache1' and associates c:/httpd.conf with that service. net start apache1 Starts apache1 service. net stop apache1 Stops apache1 service Example 2: apache -n apache2 -i Installs apache as service 'apache2'. httpd.conf is located under the default server root (/apache/conf/httpd.conf). net start apache2 Starts apache2 service. Example 3: apache -n apache3 -i -d c:/program files/apache Install apache as service 'apache3' and sets server root to c:/program files/apache. Example 4: apache -n apache2 -k restart Restart apache2 service [Keith Wannamaker, Ken Parzygnat, Bill Stoddard] *) Correct the signed/unsigned character handling for the MD5 routines; mismatches were causing compilation problems with gcc -pedantic and in the TPF cross-compilation. [Ken Coar] *) OS/2: Rework CGI handling to use spawn*() instead of fork/exec, achieving a roughly 5 fold speed up. [Brian Havard] *) proxy ftp: instead of using the hardwired string "text/plain" as a fallback type for files served by the ftp proxy, use the ap_default_type() function to determine the configured type. This allows for special configurations like DefaultType gargle/blurb Additionally, add the Content-Encoding: header to FTP proxy replies when the encoding is defined (by the AddEncoding directive). Because it was missing, it was almost impossible to browse compressed files using the FTP proxy (works now perfectly in Communicator). The ftp proxy now also returns the Date: and Server: header lines (if not much else... This code is "somewhat" broken) like normal requests do. [Martin Kraemer] *) Be more smart in APACI's configure script when determining the UID/GID for User/Group directives and use the determined UID/GID to initialize the permissions on the proxycachedir. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Changed the forking-prior-to-cleanup in the proxy module to first check wether it actually needs to collect garbage. This reduces the number of fork()s from one/request to just the odd one an hour. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Added proxy, auth and header support to src/support/ab.c. Added a README file to src/support/ [Dirk-Willem van Gulik] *) Don't hard-code the path to AWK in --shadow bootstrapping Makefile. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#4050 *) Add support for DSO module compilation on BSD/OS 3.x. [Randy Terbush, Covalent Technologies] *) Fix sed-substitutions in `make install': path elements like `httpd/conf' (for instance from an APACI configure --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf option) were substituted with $(TARGET).conf, etc. Same for other strings with dots where the dot wasn't matched as plain text. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Add support for FreeBSD 4.x [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix verbose output of APACI configure (option -v) [Martin Kraemer, Ralf S. Engelschall] Changes with Apache 1.3.6 *) Removed new PassAllEnv code due to DSO problems. [Lars Eilebrecht] Changes with Apache 1.3.5 [not released] *) M_INVALID needed a value within the scope of METHODS so that unknown methods can be access controlled. [Roy Fielding] PR#3821 *) Added PassAllEnv; makes server's entire environment available to CGIs and SSIs executed within directive's scope. [Ken Coar] *) ap_uuencode() always added two trailing '='s and encoding of 8 bit characters on a machine with signed char may produced incorrect results. Additionally ap_uuencode() should now work correctly on EBCDIC platforms. [Ronald Tschalär ] PR#3411 *) WIN32: Binary installer now runs the configuration DLL before the reboot prompt (which is only given if MSVCRT.DLL system DLL is new or updated). This should avoid the configuration directory being empty after installation. [Paul Sutton] PR#3767, 3800, 3827, 3850, 3900, 3953, 3988 *) WIN32: Binary installer now creates Start menu options to start and stop Apache as a console application and to uninstall the Apache service on NT. [Paul Sutton] PR#3741 *) WIN32: Apache.exe now contains an icon. [Paul Sutton] *) PORT: Switch back to using fcntl() locking on Linux -- instabilities have been reported with flock() locking (probably related to kernel version). [Dean Gaudet] PR#2723, 3531 *) Using APACI, the main config file (usually httpd.conf) was not being adjusted as $(TARGET).conf. [Wilfredo Sanchez ] *) PORT: AIX does not require the SHARED_CODE "hack" [Ryan Bloom ] *) Set-Cookie headers were being doubled up for some CGIs by the O(n^2) avoidance code added in 1.3.3. [Dean Gaudet, Jeff Lewis ] PR#3872 *) ap_isxdigit was somehow neglected when adding the ap_isfoo() macros for 8-bit safeness. [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: Use -fPIC instead of -fpic on Solaris and SunOS for compiling DSOs because SPARCs have a small machine-specific maximum size for the Global Offset Table which is often exceeded when compiling one of the larger third-party modules with Apache. [Peter Urban ] PR#3977 *) Move the directive `ExtendedStatus' in httpd.conf-dist-win _after_ the DSO/DLL section because it's a directive from mod_status and isn't available before the DLL of mod_status is loaded. [Martin POESCHL ] PR#3936 *) SECURITY: Fix a bug in the calculation of the buffer size for the line continuation facility in Apache's configuration files which could lead to a buffer overflow situation. [Thomas Devanneaux ] PR#3617 *) Make documentation and error messages of APACI's --activate-module=FILE option more clear. [Jan Wolter ] PR#3995 *) Fix the gcc version check (for enabling the `inline' facility) to really support all future gcc versions >= 2.7 until we know more. [John Tobey ] PR#3983 *) Let APACI's configure script correctly complain for unknown --enable-XXX and --disable-XXX options. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3958 *) Link the shared core bootstrap program (``Rule SHARED_CORE=yes'') also against libap.a and use its ap_snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid possible buffer overflows. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Remove no longer used non-API function ap_single_module_init(). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add Apple's Mac OS X Server Layout "Rhapsody" to config.layout. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Add cgidir, htdocsdir, iconsdir variables to Makefile.tmpl in order to make platform installations easier. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) In configure, do not append the target name to the directory path if the path already contains "apache". [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by the server core. The request write routines (ap_rputc, ap_rputs, ap_rvputs, ap_rwrite, ap_rprintf, ap_rflush) now correctly check for output errors and mark the connection as aborted. Replaced many direct (unchecked) calls to ap_b* routines with the analogous ap_r* calls. [Roy Fielding] *) Enhanced mod_rewrite's mapfile handling: The in-core cache for text and DBM format mapfiles now uses a 4-way hash table with LRU functionality. Furthermore map lookups for non-existent keys are now cached as well. Additionally "txt" maps are now parsed with simple string functions instead of using ap_pregcomp(). As a side effect a bug that prevented the usage of keys containing the "," character was fixed. The changes drastically improve the performance when large rewrite maps are in use. [Michael van Elst , Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3160 *) Added ap_sub_req_method_uri() for doing a subrequest with a method other than GET, and const'd the definition of method in request_rec. [Greg Stein] *) Use proper pid_t type for saving PIDs in alloc.c. [John Bley] *) Replaced use of WIN32 define with HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS to indicate when the OS allows a DOS drive letter within pathnames. [Brian Havard] *) Add %V to mod_log_config, this logs the hostname according to the UseCanonicalName setting (this is the pre-1.3.4 behaviour of %v). Useful for mass vhosting. [Tony Finch ] *) Add support for \n and \t to mod_log_config, can be used to produce more reliable logs with multiline entries. [Tony Finch ] *) Fixed a few compiler nits. [John Bley ] *) Added informative error messages for failed munmap() and fseek() calls in http_core.c. [John Bley, Roy Fielding] *) Added some informative error messages for some failed malloc() calls. [John Bley , Jim Jagielski] *) OS/2 ap_os_canonical_filename()'s behaviour is improved: ap_assert() is removed. This allows directives to work and prevents invalid requests from killing the process. [Brian Havard ] *) Reorganised FAQ document. [Joshua Slive ] PR#2497 *) src/support/: The ApacheBench benchmark program was overhauled by David N. Welton: you can now have it generate an HTML TABLE, presumably for integration into other HTML sources. David updated the ab man page as well and added some missing descriptions. Thanks! [David N. Welton ] *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows filenames containing characters in the range 0x80 to 0xff (for example accented characters). [Paul Sutton] PR#3890 *) Added conditional logging based upon environment variables to mod_log_config. mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent are now deprecated. [Ken Coar] *) Allow apache acting as a proxy server to relay the real reason of a failure to a client rather than the "internal server error" it does currently. The general exposure mechanism can be triggered by any module by setting the "verbose-error-to" note to "*"; this allows more than just proxy errors to be exposed. [Cliff Skolnick, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455, 4086 *) Moved man pages for ab and apachectrl to section 8. [Wilfredo Sanchez, Roy Fielding] *) Added -S option to install.sh so that options can be passed to strip on some platforms. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Tweak modules Makefile generated by Configure so that it handles the test case of no modules being selected. [] *) Added a sectioning directive that allows the user to assign authentication control to any HTTP method that is *not* given in the argument list; i.e., the logical negation of the directive. This is particularly useful for controlling access on methods unknown to the Apache core, but perhaps known by some module or CGI script. [Roy Fielding, Tony Finch] *) Prevent apachectl from complaining if the PIDFILE exists but does not contain a process id, as might occur if the server is being rapidly restarted. [Wilfredo Sanchez] *) Win32: Add global symbols missing from ApacheCore.def. [Carl Olsen] *) Entity tag comparisons for If-Match and If-None-Match were not being performed correctly -- weak tags might cause false positives. Also, strong comparison wasn't properly enforced in all cases. [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#2065, 3657 *) OS/2: Supply OS/2 error code instead of errno on semaphore errors. [Brian Havard] *) Work around a bug in Lynx regarding its sending "Negotiate: trans" even though it doesn't understand TCN. [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding] *) Added ap_size_list_item(), ap_get_list_item(), and ap_find_list_item() to util.c for parsing an HTTP header field value to extract the next list item, taking into account the possible presence of nested comments, quoted-pairs, and quoted-strings. ap_get_list_item() also removes insignificant whitespace and lowercases non-quoted tokens. [Roy Fielding] PR#2065 *) proxy: The various calls to ap_proxyerror() can return HTTP/1.1 status code different from 500. This allows the proxy to, e.g., return "403 Forbidden" for ProxyBlock'ed URL's. [Martin Kraemer] Related to PR#3455 *) Fix ordering of language variants for the case where the traditional negotiation algorithm is being used with multiple language variants and no Accept-Language. [James Treacy ] PR#3299, 3688 *) Do not round the TCN quality calculation to 5 decimal places, unlike RFC 2296, because the calculation might need 12 decimal places to get the right result. [Roy Fielding] *) Remove unused code to disable transparent negotiation when negotiating on encoding only, as we now handle encoding too (though this is nonstandard for TCN), remove charset=ISO-8859-1 fiddle from the fiddle-averse RVSA comparison, and fix bugs in some debugging statements within mod_negotiation. [Koen Holtman] *) Fixed a rare memory corruption possibility in mod_dir if the index file is negotiable and no acceptable variant can be found. [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Martin Kraemer] *) Win32: Add new config directive, ScriptInterpreterSource, to enable searching the Win32 registry for script interpreters. [Bill Stoddard] *) Win32: The compiled-in default filename for the error log is now error.log, which matches the default in the distributed httpd.conf. [Paul Sutton] *) Win32: Any error messages from -i or -u command line options are now displayed on the console output rather than sent to the error log. Also the "Running Apache..." message is not output unless Apache is going to serve requests. [Paul Sutton] *) Rework the MD5 authentication scheme to use FreeBSD's algorithm, and use a private significator ('$apr1$') to mark passwords as being smashed with our own algorithm. Also abstract the password checking into a new ap_validate_password() routine. [Ken Coar] *) Win32: The filename validity checker now allows "COM" but refuses access to "COM1" through "COM4". This allows filenames such as "com.name" to be served. [Paul Sutton] PR#3769. *) BS2000: Adapt to the new ufork() system call interface which will make subtasking easier on the OSD/POSIX mainframe environment. [Martin Kraemer] *) Add a compatibility define for escape_uri() -> ap_escape_uri() to ap_compat.h. [David White ] PR#3725 *) Make NDBM file suffix determination for mod_rewrite more accurate, i.e. use `.db' instead of `.pag' not only for FreeBSD, but also when the NDBM library looks like Berkeley-DB based. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3773 *) Add ability to handle DES or MD5 authentication passwords. [Ryan Bloom ] *) Fix O(n^2) memory consumption in mod_speling. [Dean Gaudet] *) SECURITY: Avoid some buffer overflow problems when escaping quoted strings. (This overflow was on the heap and we believe impossible to exploit.) [Rick Perry ] *) Let src/Configure be aware of CFLAGS options starting with plus signs as it's the case for the HP/UX compiler. [Doug Yatcilla ] PR#3681 *) Remove the hard-wire of TAR=tar (we now check for gtar and gnutar first) and check to see if the tar we wind up with supports '-h'. [Jim Jagielski] PR#3671 *) A consistent and conservative style for all shell scripts has been implemented. Basically, all shell string tests use the traditional hack of 'if [ "x$var" != "x" ]' or 'if [ "x$var" = "xstring" ]' to protect against bare null variable strings (ie: wrapping both sides with double quotes and prepending 'x'). 'x' was chosen because it's more universal and hopefully easier for old shell prgrammers, as well as being easier to search for in 'vi' (/x\$) :) [Jim Jagielski] *) The status module now prints out both the main server generation as well as the generation of each process. Also, the vhost info is printed with '?notable'. [Jim Jagielski] *) Move src/main/md5c.c to src/ap/ap_md5c.c; it's httpd-neutral and this makes its functions available to things in src/support. [Ken Coar] Changes with Apache 1.3.4 *) Renamed macros status_drops_connection to ap_status_drops_connection and vestigial scan_script_header to ap_scan_script_header_err, mostly for aesthetic reasons. [Roy Fielding] *) The query switch "httpd -S" didn't exit after showing the vhost settings. That was inconsistent with the other query functions. [Martin Kraemer] *) Moved the MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE from before the versions and filename to the end of the STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF. Its presence at the beginning prevented reporting of the filename for modules compiled before 1 January 1999. [Ken Coar] *) SECURITY: ap_os_is_filename_valid() has been added to Win32 to detect and prevent access to special DOS device file names. [Paul Sutton, Ken Parzygnat] *) WIN32: Created new makefiles Makefile_win32.txt (normal build) and Makefile_win32_debug.txt (debug build) that work on Win95. Run each of the following from the src directory: nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt # compiles normal build nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt install # compiles and installs nmake /f Makefile_win32.txt clean # removes compiled junk nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt # compiles debug build nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt install nmake /f Makefile_win32_debug.txt clean [Roy Fielding] *) Added binbuild.sh and findprg.sh helpers to make it easier for us to build binary distributions. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting only turned off making the column headers anchors; you could still change the display order by manually adding a '?N=A' or similar query string to the URL. Now SuppressColumnSorting locks in the sort order so it can't be overridden this way. [Ken Coar] *) Added IndexOrderDefault directive to supply a default sort order for FancyIndexed directory listings. [Ken Coar] PR#1699 *) Change the ap_assert macro to a variant that works on all platforms. [Richard Prinz ] PR#2575 *) Make sure under ELF-based NetBSD (now) and OpenBSD (future) we don't search for an underscore on dlsym() (as it's already the case for FreeBSD 3.0). [Todd Vierling ] PR#2462 *) Small fix for mod_env.html: The module was documented as to be _not_ compiled into Apache per default, although it _IS_ compiled into Apache per default. [Sim Harbert ] PR#3572 *) Instead of fixing a bug in the generation procedure for config.status (a backslash was missing) we remove the bug together with it's complete context because the special cases of the past can now no longer occur because of the recent magic for the --with-layout default. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3590 *) Make top-level Makefile aware of a parallel build procedures (make -j) by making sure the src/support/ tools are _forced_ to be build last (they depend on other libraries). [Markus Theissinger ] *) Fix installation procedure: Now that os-inline.c is actually used (a recently fixed bug prevented this) we need to also install os-include.c in addition to os.h into the PREFIX/include/ location or building of module DSOs with APXS fails. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3527 *) Added MODULE_MAGIC_COOKIE as the first field in a module structure to allow us to distinguish between a garbled DSO (or even a file which isn't an Apache module DSO at all) and a DSO which doesn't match the current Apache API. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3152 *) Two minor enhancements to mod_rewrite: First RewriteRule now also supports the ``nocase|NC'' flag (as RewriteCond already does for ages) to match case insensitive (this especially avoids nasty patterns like `[tT][eE][sS][tT]'). Second two additional internal map functions `escape' and `unescape' were added which can be used to escape/unescape to/from hex-encodings in URLs parts (this is especially useful in combination with map lookups). [Magnus Bodin, Ian Kallen, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Renamed the macro escape_uri() to ap_escape_uri() which was forgotten (because it was a macro) in the symbol renaming process. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix some inconsistencies related to the scopes of directives. The only user visible change is that the directives `UseCanonicalName' and `ContentDigest' now use the (more correct) `Options' scope instead of (less correct) `AuthConfig' scope. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Using DSO, the Server token was being mangled. Specifically, the module's token was being added first before the Apache token. This has been fixed. [Jim Jagielski] *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 2. - properly handle "identity" within Accept-Encoding. - allow encoded variants in RVSA negotiation and let them appear in the Alternates field using the non-standard "encoding" tag-list. - fixed both negotiation algorithms so that an explicitly accepted encoding is preferred over no encoding if "identity" is not included within Accept-Encoding. - added ap_array_pstrcat() to alloc.c for efficient concatenation of large substring sequences. - replaced O(n^2) memory hogs in mod_negotiation with ap_array_pstrcat. [Roy Fielding] *) Major overhaul of mod_negotiation.c, part 1. - cleanups to mod_negotiation comments and code structure - made compliant with HTTP/1.1 proposed standard (rfc2068) and added support for everything in the upcoming HTTP/1.1 revision (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-06.txt). - language tag matching also handles tags with more than 2 levels like x-y-z - empty Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Charset headers are processed correctly; previously an empty header would make all values acceptable instead of unacceptable. - allowed for q values in Accept-Encoding - added support for transparent content negotiation (rfc2295 and rfc2296) (though we do not implement all features in these drafts, e.g. no feature negotiation). Removed old experimental version. - implemented 'structured entity tags' for better cache correctness (structured entity tags ensure that caches which can deal with Vary will (eventually) be updated if the set of variants on the server is changed) - this involved adding a vlist_validator element to request_rec - this involved adding the ap_make_etag() function to the global API - modified guessing of charsets used by Apache negotiation algorithm to guess 'no charset' if the variant is not a text/* type - added code to sort multiviews variants into a canonical order so that negotiation results are consistent across backup/restores and mirrors - removed possibility of a type map file resolving to another type map file as its best variant [Koen Holtman, Roy Fielding, Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3451, 3299, 1987 *) RFC2396 allows the syntax http://host:/path (with no port number) but the proxy disallowed it (ap_proxy_canon_netloc()). [David Kristol ] PR#3530 *) When modules update/modify the file name in the configfile_t structure, syntax errors will report the updated name, not the original one. [Fabien Coelho ] PR#3573 *) Correct some filename case assumptions from WIN32 to CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM. [Brian Havard ] *) For %v log ServerName regardless of the UseCanonicalName setting (similarly for %p). [Dean Gaudet] *) Configure was initializing the variables $OSDIR, $INCDIR and $SHELL rather late (too late for some invocations of TestCompile). This improves the make environment available to TestCompile and the *.module scripts. [Martin Kraemer] *) The hashbang emulation code in ap_execve.c would interpret #!/hashbang/scripts correctly, but failed to fall back to a standard shell for scripts which did NOT start with #! Now SHELL_PATH is started in these cases. [Martin Kraemer] *) PORT: Added the Cyberguard V2 port [Richard Stagg ] PR#3336 *) Update APXS manual page: some -q option arguments were missing and another was incorrect. [Mark Anderson ] PR#3553 *) Cleanup the command line options: `-?' was documented to show the usage list but does it with an error because `?' is not a valid command. OTOH a lot of users expect `-h' to print such a usage list and instead are annoyed for ages by our huge unreadable list of directives. So we now changed the command line options this way: 1. `-L' => `-R' Intent: we need `-L' to be free, and `-R' for the DSO run-time path is very similar to the popular linker option. 2. `-h' => `-L' Intent: while -l gives the small list of modules, -L now gives the large list of directives implemented by these modules. This is also consistent with -v (short version info) and -V (large version info). 3. `-?' => `-h' Intent: it's now the expected option ;-) The manual page was adjusted accordingly. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2714 *) Fixed problem of fclose() on an unopened file in suexec if LOG_EXEC wasn't defined. [Rick Franchuk ] *) Removed recently introduced bugs and disfigurements in APACI: o fixed argument line processing: using $args was broken: It was not initialized and using args="$args $apc_option" and even args="$args \"$apc_option\"" fails in the second processing round for any arguments containing whitespaces. The only correct way is to use the construct "$@" (but not possible here) or iterate _both_ times over the implicit argument line (no argument to for-loop) which is what we now use. o make --with-layout=Apache the default without creating redundancy (copying the --with-layout block in the argument parsing loop). We achieve this by using the "$@" construct together with the `set' command to prepend --with-layout=Apache to the command line in case --with-layout is not used. o fixed auto-suffix handling now that config.layout exists. Paths which are auto-suffixed are marked with a trailing plus sign in config.layout and every path now can be marked this way (not only the four paths for which we do it currently). Additionally the suffix is no longer a static one. Instead it's now `/' where is the argument of the --target option or per default `httpd'. o allow also tabs (and only spaces) where we match whitespaces o various fixes and cleanups related to used shell coding style o made Jim happy by replacing `Written by' with `Initially written by' ;-) o trimmed output of --help to fit into 80 columns [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Added two new core API functions, ap_single_module_configure() and ap_single_module_init(), which are now used by mod_so to configure a module after loading. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Add defines for USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT and SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT to NetBSD/OpenBSD section of ap_config.h to allow serialized accept for multiport listens. [Roy Fielding, Curt Sampson] PR#3120 *) PORT: Fixed a misplaced #endif for NetBSD/OpenBSD section of ap_config.h that would skip several defines if DEFAULT_GROUP was overridden. [Roy Fielding] *) PORT: The I86 version of DGUX has support for strncasecmp and strcasecmp, so allow it in ap_config.h. [Amiel Lee Yee] PR#3247 *) Fix ordering of definitions in ap_config.h so that ap_inline is defined before it might be used. [Victor Khimenko] *) PORT: Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for BSDI (v4.0). [Tom Serkowski ] PR#3453 *) Make generation of src/Configuration.apaci more robust: It failed to differenciate between modules when one module name was a postfix of another (e.g. cgi vs. fastcgi). We now check for mod_XXX, libXXX and even just XXX (think about totally non-standard names like "apache_ssl", too). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3380 *) In src/Configure remove the SERVER_SUBVERSION support (already deprecated since 1.3b7) and make whitespace handling more robust (it failed horrible when whitespaces were present in the arguments of -D options). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#3240 *) Add APACI --shadow=DIR variant (in addition to --shadow). This now first creates an external package shadow tree in DIR before the local build shadow tree is generated under DIR. This way one can have the extracted Apache distribution tree read-only on NFS or CDROM and still build Apache from these sources. An automatically triggered VPATH-like mechanism is provided through the TOP variable, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Wilfredo Sanchez ] *) Fix negotiation so that a Vary response header is correctly generated when, for a particular dimension, variants only vary in having or not having a value for that dimension. [Paul Sutton] *) Fix negotiation so that we prefer an encoded variant over an unencoded variant if the user-agent explicitly says it can accept that encoding. Previously we always preferred the unencoded variant. [Paul Ausbeck , Paul Sutton] PR#3447 *) Fix APXS tool: query variables LIBS_SHLIB and TARGET were not recognized and the usage page was inconsistent with the functionality and manpage. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Allow special options -Wc,xxx and -Wl,xxx on APXS compile/link command. They can occur multiple times and their arguments (`xxx') are passed AS IS to the compiler/linker command. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed possible (but harmless in practice) bug in the DBM lookup procedure of mod_rewrite: very long keys were truncated. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Added a generic --with-layout=[FILE:]ID option. ID here is a layout identifier, currently "Apache" and "GNU" are pre-defined in the file config.layout. Custom layouts are possible by using FILE:ID as the argument where the layout ID is taken from FILE. The config.layout file consists of .. sections where inside those sections "path_variable: path_value" pairs can be specified. These lines are converted to path_variable='path_value'. *) Add a DefaultLanguage directive so that files missing a language extension (e.g., .fr, .de) can be labelled as being some other default language. DefaultLanguage can appear in and containers as well as .htaccess files. [Paul Sutton] PR#1180 *) Fix TARGET configuration when configuring and installing using APACI configure. TARGET now defines the basename of the configuration file, startup script, manual page, etc. log_error_core() now reports the server binary name given by argv[0]. TARGET can now also be defined with --target=TARGET parameter passed to APACI configure. [Ralf Engelschall, Randy Terbush] *) mod_include.c:handle_perl() now properly tests for OPT_INCNOEXEC rather than OPT_INCLUDES [Rainer Schoepf ] *) ap_md5_binary() was using sprintf() rather than a table lookup to convert binary bytes to hex digits. [Ronald Tschalär ] PR#3409 *) Fix SEGV in TCN negotiation if no variants are acceptable. [Martin Plechsmid ] PR#1987 *) API: ap_exists_config_define() function is now "public" [Doug MacEachern] *) Fix documentation of `Action' directive: It can activate a CGI script when either a handler or a MIME content type is triggered by the request. [Andrew Pimlott ] PR#3340 *) Document the `add' command of `dbmmanage' in `dbmmanage.1' manpage. [David MacKenzie ] PR#3394 *) Ignore a "ErrorDocument 401" directive with a full URL and write a notice to the error log. It is not possible to send a 401 response and a redirect at the same time. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) Fallback to native compilers for IRIX-32 platform. It seems that a gcc 2.8.1 compiled apache is logging client addresses with all bits set (255.255.255.255). This is the second such problem caused by gcc 2.8.1 compiler. The first being broken semaphore locking. [Randy Terbush] *) Updated mime.types to reflect current Internet media types and include a URL to the registry. [Manoj Kasichainula, Roy Fielding] PR#2380, 2286, 2246 *) SECURITY: Do a more complete check in mod_include to avoid an infinite loop of recursive SSI includes. [Marc Slemko] PR#3323 *) Add APACI --suexec-docroot and --suexec-logfile options which can be used to set the document root directory (DOC_ROOT) and the suexec logfile (LOG_EXEC), respectively. Additionally the --layout option was changed to show more information about the suEXEC setup. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#3316, 3357, 3361 *) Added the last two WebDAV status codes of 424 (Failed Dependency) and 507 (Insufficient Storage) for use by third-party modules. [Roy Fielding] *) Enabled all of the WebDAV method names for use by third-party modules, Limit, and Script directives. That includes PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, and UNLOCK. Improved mod_actions.c so that it can use any of the methods defined in httpd.h. Added ap_method_number_of(method) for getting the internal method number. [Roy Fielding] *) PORT: Add a port to the TPF OS. [Joe Moenich and others at IBM] *) Fix problems with handling of UNC names (e.g., \\host\path) on Win32. [Ken Parzygnat ] *) Rework os_canonical_*() on Win32 so it's simpler, more robust, and works. [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#2555, 2915, 3064, 3232 *) Work around incomplete implementation of strftime on Win32. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ken Parzygnat ] *) Move a typedef to fix compile problems on Linux with 1.x kernels. [Manoj Kasichainula] PR#3177 *) PORT: Add a port to the Concurrent PowerMAX OS. [Tom Horsley ] *) WIN32: Log more explicit error messages if spawning an interpreted script failed, including the command line used to attempt to execute the interpreter and the Win32 error code returned. [Marc Slemko] *) Disable sending of error-notes on a 500 (Internal Server Error) response since it often includes file path info. Enable sending of error-notes on a 501 (Method Not Implemented). [Roy Fielding] PR#3173 *) http_config.c would respond with 501 (Method Not Implemented) if a content type handler was specified but could not be found, which should have been a 500 response. Likewise, mod_proxy.c would responsd with a 501 if the URI scheme is unrecognized instead of the correct response of 403 (Forbidden). [Roy Fielding] *) SECURITY: Eliminate DoS attack when a bad URI path contains what looks like a printf format escape. [Marc Slemko, Studenten Net Twente] *) Fix in mod_autoindex: for files where the last modified time stamp was unavailable, an empty string was printed which was 2 bytes short. The size and description columns were therefore not aligned correctly. [Martin Kraemer] (no PR#) *) Update BS2000 OS code to work with recent versions. Starting with release A17, the child fork() must be replaced by a _rfork(). (BS2000 only) [Martin Kraemer] *) Add the actual server_rec structure of the specific Vhost to the scoreboard file and avoid a string copy (as well as allow some further future enhancements). [Harrie Hazewinkel ] *) Add APACI --permute-module=foo:bar option which can be used to on-the-fly/batch permute the order of two modules (mod_foo and mod_bar) in the Configuration[.apaci] file. Two special and important variants are supported for the option argument: first BEGIN:foo which permutes module mod_foo with the begin of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to the begin of the list (gives it lowest priority). And second foo:END which permutes mod_foo with the end of the module list, i.e. it `moves' the module to the end of the list (gives it highest priority). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix problem with 'apache -k shutdown' and startup event synchronisation (Win32). [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#3255 *) The config parser wasn't correctly noticing a missing '>' on container start lines (e.g., it wouldn't spot "] PR#3279 *) Add a 'RemoveHandler' directive which will selectively remove all handler associations for the specified file extensions. [Ryan Bloom ] PR#1799. *) Properly handle & allow "nul" and ".*/null" in AccessConfig and ResourceConfig directives on Win32. Also add a note to the effect of 'useless User directive ignored on Win32' to the errorlog if a User directive is encountered on Win32. [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#2078, 2303. *) Fix multiple whitespace handling in imagemaps for mod_imap which was broken since Apache 1.3.1 where we took out compressing of multiple spaces in ap_cfg_getline(). [Ivan Richwalski ] PR#3249 *) Fix Berkeley-DB/2.x support in mod_auth_db: The data structures were not initialized correctly and the db_open() call used an invalid mode parameter. [Ron Klatchko ] PR#3171 *) PORT: DSO support for UnixWare 7 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Ron Record ] *) Merge the contents of the {srm,access}.conf-dist* files into the httpd.conf-dist* files. The srm and access files now contain only comments, and httpd.conf has all the combined contents in a rational order. [Ken Coar] *) PORT: DSO/ELF support for FreeBSD 3.0. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dirk Froemberg ] *) Add a "default-handler" handler that calls the default_hander() function which is normally called for static content. This allows you to override a specific handler. [Marc Slemko] *) Further simplify checking for absolute paths by replacing an hard-coded syntax check with a call to a routine we already created to do this. [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#2976, 3074 *) Log an error if we encounter a malformed "require" directive in mod_auth if we know that we know that no other module can deal with it. [Marc Slemko] *) Remove ap_private_extern method of hiding conflicting symbols on the NEXT platform because it is not correct for all versions, and the versions for which it is correct are unknown. [Wilfredo Sanchez ] *) Fix inheritance of IndexOptions NameWidth and remove unintended restriction on +NameWidth, +IconHeight, and +IconWidth. [Ken Coar] *) Fix per-directory config merging for cases in which a 500 error is encountered in an .htaccess file somewhere down the tree. [Ken Coar] PR#2409 *) Minor performance improvement to ap_escape_html(). [Roy Fielding] *) Fixed a segmentation violation in mod_proxy when a response is non-cachable. [Roy Fielding, traced by Doug Bloebaum]. PR#2950, 3056 Changes with Apache 1.3.3 *) Added a complete implementation of the Expect header field as specified in rev-05 of HTTP/1.1. Disabled the 100 Continue response when we already know the final status, which is mighty useful for PUT responses that result in 302 or 401. [Roy Fielding] *) Remove extra trailing whitespace from the getline results as part of the protocol processing, which is extra nice because it works between continuation lines, is almost no cost in the normal case of no extra whitespace, and saves memory. [Roy Fielding] *) Added new HTTP status codes and default response bodies from the revised HTTP/1.1 (307, 416, 417), WebDAV (102, 207, 422, 423), and HTTP Extension Framework (510) specifications. Did not add the WebDAV 424 and 425 codes because they are bogus. We don't use any of these codes yet, but they are now available to 3rd-party modules. [Roy Fielding] *) Fix a possible race condition between timed-out requests and the ap_bhalfduplex select that might result in an infinite loop on platforms that do not validate the descriptor. [Roy Fielding] *) WIN32: Add "-k shutdown" and "-k restart" options to signal a running Apache server [Paul Sutton] *) Fix mod_autoindex bug where directories got a size of "0k" instead of "-". [Martin Plechsmid , Marc Slemko] PR#3130 *) PORT: DRS 6000 machine. [Paul Debleecker ] *) Add the server signature text (from the core ServerSignature directive) to the list of envariables available to scripts, SSI, and the like. [Ken Coar] *) PORT: Fix sys/resource.h handling for SCO 3.x platform. [M. Laak ] PR#3108 *) Fallback from sysconf-based to plain HZ-based `ticks per second' calculation in mod_status for all systems which don't have POSIX sysconf() (like UTS 2.1) and not only for the NEXT platform. [Dave Dykstra ] PR#3055 *) Fix `require ...' directive parsing in mod_auth, mod_auth_dbm and mod_auth_db by using ap_getword_white() (which uses ap_isspace()) instead of ap_getword(..., ' ') (which parses only according to spaces but not tabs). [James Morris , Ralf S.

[Ken Parzygnat ] PR#2884, 2910 *) Win32 name canonicalisation could end up using the server's working directory to fill in some blanks. [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#3001 *) Correct invalid assumption by ap_sub_req_lookup_file() that all absolute paths begin with "/" -- because they don't on Win32. [Ken Parzygnat ] PR#2976, 3074 *) Add [REDIRECT_]VARIANTS environment variable to mod_speling so that ErrorDocument 300 processors can reformat the list if desired. [Ken Coar] PR#2859 *) Add +/- incremental prefixes to IndexOptions keywords, and enable merging of multiple IndexOptions directives. [Ken Coar] *) PORT: Allow GuessOS to recognize Unixware 7.0.1 [Steve Cameron ] *) Reconstructed the loop through multiple htaccess file names so that missing files are not confused with unreadable files. [Roy Fielding] *) The ap_pfopen and ap_pfdopen routines were failing to protect the errno on an error, which leads to one error being mistaken for another when reading non-existent .htaccess files. [Jim Jagielski] *) OS/2: The new header tests get things right, need to update ap_config.h. [Brian Havard] *) The Perl %ENV hash will now be setup by default when using the mod_include `perl' command [Doug MacEachern] *) PORT: Add Pyramid DC/OSx support to configuration mechanism. [Earle Ake ] *) PORT: Fix sys/resource.h handling for Amdahl's UTS 2.1 [Dave Dykstra ] PR#3054 *) Correct comment in mod_log_config.c about its internals. [Elf Sternberg ] *) Avoid possible line overflow in Configure: Use an awkfile to handle the creation of modules.c [Jim Jagielski] Changes with Apache 1.3.2 *) Fix bug in ap_remove_module(), which caused problems for dso's who were the top_module. [Doug MacEachern] *) Add support for Berkeley-DB/2.x (in addition to Berkeley-DB/1.x) to mod_auth_db to both be friendly to users who wants to use this version and to avoid problems under platforms where only version 2.x is present. [Dan Jacobowitz , Ralf S. Engelschall] *) When using ap_log_rerror(), make the error message available to the *ERROR_NOTES envariables by default. [Ken Coar] *) BS2000 platform only: get rid of the nasty BS2000AuthFile. You now must define a BS2000Account name for the server User. This has fewer security implications than the old approach. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fix SHARED_CORE feature for HPUX platform: We now use extension `.sl' instead of `.so' and `SHLIB_PATH' instead of `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on this platform to make the braindead HPUX linker happy. Notice, for the module DSOs we don't have to use this, because these are loaded manually (and not via HPUX' dld). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2905, PR#2968 *) Remove 64 thread limit on Win32. [Bill Stoddard ] *) Remove redundant substitutions in top-level Makefile.tmpl. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix APACI's `Group' configuration adjustment - especially for Linux platforms where `nogroup' exists in /etc/group. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make PrintPath work generically instead of having one version strictly for OS/2. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Havard] *) Fix the recently introduced C header file checking: We now use the C pre-processor pass only (and no longer the complete compiler pass) to determine whether a C header file exists or not. Because only this way we're safe against inter-header dependencies (which caused horrible portability problems). The only drawback is that we now have a CPP configuration variable which has to be determined first (we do a similar approach as GNU Autoconf does here). When all fails the user still has the possibility to override it manually via APACI or src/Configuration. As a fallback for the header check itself we can directly check the existance of the file under /usr/include, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2777 *) PORT: Added RHAPSODY (Mac OS X Server) support. MAP_TMPFILE defined as an alternate mechanism for mmap'd shared memory for RHAPSODY. ap_private_extern defined to hide symbols that conflict with loaded dynamic libraries on the NEXT and RHAPSODY platforms. [Wilfredo Sanchez ] *) Delete PID file on clean shutdowns.

[Youichirou Koga ] PR#2992 *) Fix possible buffer overflow situation in suexec.c. [Jeff Stewart ] PR#2790 *) Add some more LIBS for the SCO5 platform which are needed for the already used -lprot. It's actually a bug in SCO5, of course. [Ronald Record ] PR#2533 *) Fix documentation of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse according to the trailing slash problem. [Jon Drukman ] PR#2933 *) Remove `-msym' option from LDFLAGS_SHLIB for the Digital UNIX (OSF/1) platform, because it's only supported under version 4.0 and higher. But because our GuessOS is still unaware of Digital UNIX versions and the -msym is just to optimize the DSO statup time a little bit it's safe and best when we leave it out now. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2969 *) Fix the ap_log_error_old(), ap_log_unixerr() and ap_log_printf() functions: First all three functions no longer fail on strings containing "%" chars and second ap_log_printf() no longer does a double-formatting (instead it directly passes through the message to be formatted to the real internal formatting function). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2941 *) Allow "Include" directives anywhere in the server config files (but not .htaccess files). [Ken Coar] PR#2727 *) The proxy was refusing to serve CONNECT requests except to port 443 (https://) and 563 (snews://). The new AllowCONNECT directive allows the configuration of the ports to which a CONNECT is allowed. [Sameer Parekh, Martin Kraemer] *) mod_expires will now act on content that is not sent from a file on disk. Previously it would never add an Expires: header to any response that did not come from a file on disk; the only case where it still doesn't (and can't) add one for that type of content is if you are using a modification date based setting. [Marc Slemko, Paul Phillips ] *) Problems encountered during .htaccess parsing or CGI execution that lead to a "500 Server Error" condition now provide explanatory text (in the *ERROR_NOTES envariable) to ErrorDocument 500 scripts. [Ken Coar] PR#1291 *) Add NameWidth keyword to IndexOptions directive so that the width of the filename column is customisable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet] PR#1949, 2324. *) Recognize lowercase _and_ uppercase `uname' results under SCO OpenServer. [David Coelho ] *) As duplicate "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" lines within the header seem to be a common problem of (mis-administrated?) IIS servers, make the apache proxy immune to these errors (and ignore the duplicates, but log the fact to error_log). [Martin Kraemer], after the proposal in PR#2914 *) The ] PR#2866 *) Replace the inlined information grabbing stuff for the configuration adjustment feature (no --without-confadjust) with calls to a new helper script `buildinfo.sh' which is both more flexible and already proofed to be more robust against platform differences. This mainly fixes the recently occured ``sed: command garbled: ...'' problems. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2776, PR#2848 *) Make ab.c again pass ``gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' without complains after we recently added the POST feature. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Renamed is_HTTP_xxx() macros to ap_is_HTTP_xxx() name. They are used inside modules as API functions and we forgot them at the big symbol renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Remove bad reference to non-existing SERVER_VERSION in mod_rewrite.html [Youichirou Koga ] PR#2895 *) Dynamically size the filename column of mod_autoindex output. [Dean Gaudet] *) Add the ability to do POST requests to the ab benchmarking tool. [Kurt Sussman ] PR#2871 *) Bump up MAX_ENV_FLAGS in mod_rewrite.h from the too conservatice limit of 5 to 10 because there are some users out there who always have 5 to 8 variables in one RewriteRule and had to patch mod_rewrite.h for every release. So 15 should be now more than enough, even for them. (I never needed more than 4 in my RewriteRules ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make the proxy generate and understand Via: headers [Martin Kraemer] *) Change the proxy to use tables instead of array_headers for the header lines. [Martin Kraemer] *) Make sure the config.status file is not overridden when just ``configure --help'' is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2844 *) Split MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER into _MAJOR/_MINOR numbers. This should provide a way to trace API changes that add functionality but do not create a compatibility issue for precompiled modules, etc. See include/ap_mmn.h for more details. [Randy Terbush] *) Fix suexec installation under `make install root=xxx' situation. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Extend the output of the -V switch to include the paths of all compiled-in configuration files, if they were overridden at compile time, for least astonishment of the user. [Martin Kraemer] *) When READing a request in ExtendedStatus mode, the "old" vhost, request and client information is not displayed. [Jim Jagielski] *) STATUS is no longer available. Full status information now run-time configurable using the ExtendedStatus directive. [Jim Jagielski] *) SECURITY: CVE-1999-1199 (cve.mitre.org) Eliminate O(n^2) space DoS attacks (and other O(n^2) cpu time attacks) in header parsing. Add ap_overlap_tables(), a function which can be used to perform bulk update operations on tables in a more efficient manner. [Dean Gaudet] *) SECURITY: Added compile-time and configurable limits for various aspects of reading a client request to avoid some simple denial of service attacks, including limits on maximum request-line size (LimitRequestLine), number of header fields (LimitRequestFields), and size of any one header field (LimitRequestFieldsize). Also added a configurable directive LimitRequestBody for limiting the size of the request message body. [Roy Fielding] *) Make status module aware of DNS and logging states, even if STATUS not defined. [Jim Jagielski] *) Fix a problem with the new OS/2 mutexes. [Brian Havard] *) Enhance mod_speling so that CheckSpelling can be used in containers and .htaccess files. [Ken Coar] *) API: new ap_custom_response() function for hooking into the ErrorDocument mechanism at runtime [Doug MacEachern] *) API: new ap_uuencode() function [Doug MacEachern] *) API: scan_script_header_err_core() now "public" and renamed ap_scan_script_header_err_core() [Doug MacEachern] *) The 'status' module will now show the process pid's and their state even without full STATUS accounting. [Jim Jagielski] *) Restore the client IP address to the error log messages, this was lost during the transition from 1.2 to 1.3. Add a new function ap_log_rerror() which takes a request_rec * and formats it appropriately. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2661 *) Cure ap_cfg_getline() of its nasty habit of compressing internal whitespace in input lines -- including within quoted strings. [Ken Coar] but leading and trailing whitespace should continue to be stripped [Martin Kraemer] *) Cleanup of the PrintPath/PrintPathOS2 helper functions. Avoid the ugly use of an env. variable and use command-line args for alternate $PATH. Make more like advanced 'type's as well. [Jim Jagielski] *) The IRIXN32 Rule was being ignored. Configure now correctly adds -n32 only if IRIXN32 says to. [Jim Jagielski, Alain St-Denis ] PR#2736 *) Clean up a warning in mod_proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Renamed __EMX__ (internal define of the gcc port under OS/2) to OS2 following the same idea as "MSVC vs WIN32". Additionally the src/os/emx/ directory was renamed to src/os/os2/ for consistency. [Brian Havard, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add new Rule SHARED_CHAIN which can be used to enable linking of DSO files (here modules) against other DSO files (here shared libraries). This is done by determining a subset of LIBS which can be safely used for linking the DSOs, i.e. PIC libs and shared libs. Currently the rule is disabled for all platforms to avoid problems with this (experimental) rule. But we provide it now for those people how ran into problems and want to came out by forcing linking against DSOs. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2587 *) Fix suEXEC start message: Has to be of `notice' level to really get printed together with the standard startup message because the `notice' level is handled special inside ap_log_error() for startup messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2761 PR#2761 PR#2765 *) Add correct `model' MIME types from RFC2077 to mime.types file. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2732 *) Fixed examples in mod_rewrite.html document. [Youichirou Koga , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2756 *) Allow ap_read_request errors to propagate through the normal request handling loop so that the connection can be properly closed with lingering_close, thus avoiding a potential TCP reset that would cause the client to miss the HTTP error response. [Roy Fielding] *) One more portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined output of Awk. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2729 *) PORT: NEC EWS4800 support. [MATSUURA Takanori ] *) Fix a segfault in the proxy on OS/2. [Brian Havard] *) Fix Win32 part of ap_spawn_child() by providing a reasonable child_info structure instead of just NULL. This fixes at least the RewriteMap programs under Win32. [Marco De Michele ] PR#2483 *) Add workaround to top-level `configure' script for brain dead `echo' commands which interpet escape sequences per default. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2654 *) Make sure that the path to the Perl interpreter is correctly adjusted under `make install' also for the printenv CGI script. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2595 *) Update the mod_rewrite.html document to correctly reflect the situation of the `proxy' (`[P]') feature. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2679 *) Fix `install-includes' sub-target of `install' target in top-level Makefile.tmpl: The umask+cp approach didn't work as expected (especially for users which extracted the distribution under 'umask 077'), so replace it by an explicit cp+chmod approach. [Richard Lloyd, Curt Sampson, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2656 PR#2626 *) Fix `distclean' and `clean' targets in src/Makefile.tmpl to have same behavior and to cleanup correctly even under enabled SHARED_CORE rule. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Use a more straight forward and thus less problematic Sed command in src/helper/mkdir.sh script. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make sure the `configure' scripts doesn't fail when trying to guess the domainname of the machine and there are multiple `domainname' and `search' entries in /etc/resolv.conf. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2710 *) Add note about the SHARED_CORE requirement on some platforms also to the INSTALL file because a lot of users don't read htdocs/manual/dso.html first. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2701 *) Fix document "hyperlink" for dso.html in src/Configuration.tmpl [Knut A.Syed ] PR#2674 *) Modify mod_rewrite to update the Vary response field if the URL rewriting engine does any manipulations or decisions based upon request fields. [Ken Coar] PR#1644 *) Document the special APACI behavior for installation paths where ``/apache'' is appended to paths under some (well defined, of course) situations to prevent pollution of system locations with Apache files. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2660 *) Fixed problem with buffered response message not being sent for the read_request error conditions of URI-too-long (414) and malformed header fields (400). [Roy Fielding] PR#2646 *) Add support for the Max-Forwards: header line required by RFC2068 for the TRACE method. This allows apache to TRACE along a chain of proxies up to a predetermined depth. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fix SHARED_CORE rule: The CFLAGS_SHLIB variable is no longer doubled (compilers complained) and the .so.V.R.P filename extension was adjusted to correctly reflect the 1.3.2 version. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2644 *) SECURITY: Plug "..." and other canonicalization holes under OS/2. [Brian Havard] *) PORT: implement serialized accepts for OS/2. [Brian Havard] *) mod_include had problems with the fsize and flastmod directives under WIN32. Fix also avoids the minor security hole of using ".." paths for fsize and flastmod. [Manoj Kasichainula ] PR#2355 *) Fixed some Makefile dependency problems. [Dean Gaudet] Changes with Apache 1.3.1 *) Disable the incorrect entry for application/msword in the mod_mime_magic "magic" file because it also matches other Office documents. [Ralf S.

[Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2627 *) 'apachectl status' failed on some systems. [Steve VanDevender , Lars Eilebrecht] PR#2613 *) Add new flags for ap_unparse_uri_components() to make it generate the scheme://sitepart string only, or to omit the query string. [Martin Kraemer] *) WIN32: Canonicalize ServerRoot before checking to see if it is a valid directory. The failure to do this caused certain ServerRoot settings (eg. "ServerRoot /apache") to be improperly rejected. [Marc Slemko] *) Global renaming of C header files to both get rid of conflicts with third party packages and to again reach consistency: 1. conf.h -> ap_config.h 2. conf_auto.h -> ap_config_auto.h \ these are now merged 3. ap_config.h -> ap_config_auto.h / in the config process 4. compat.h -> ap_compat.h 5. apctype.h -> ap_ctype.h Backward compatibility files for conf.h and compat.h were created. *) mod_mmap_static will no longer take action on requests unless at least one "mmapfile" directive is present in the configuration. This experimental module has to do some black magic to operate inside the current API and thus creates side-effects for other modules under some circumstances. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add conservative ticks around more egrep arguments in top-level configure to avoid problems under brain-dead platforms like Digital UNIX (OSF1). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2596 *) mod_rewrite created RewriteLock files under the UID of the parent process, thus the child processes had no write access to the files. Now a chown() is done on the file to the uid of the children, if applicable. [Lars Eilebrecht, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2341 *) Autogenerate some HAVE_XXXXX_H defines in conf_auto.h (determined via TestCompile) instead of defining them manually in conf.h based on less accurate platform definitions. This way we no longer have to fiddle with OS-type and/or OS-version identifiers to discover whether a system header file exists or not. Instead we now directly check for the existence of those esoteric ones. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2093, PR#2361, PR#2377, PR#2434, PR#2524, PR#2525, PR#2533, PR#2569 *) mod_setenvif (BrowserMatch* and friends) will now match a missing field with "^$". [Ken Coar] *) Set the RTLD_GLOBAL dlopen mode parameter to allow dynamically loaded modules to load their own modules dynamically. This improves mod_perl and mod_php3 when these modules are loaded dynamically into Apache. [Rasmus Lerdorf] *) Cache a proxied request in the event that the client cancels the transfer, provided that the configured percentage of the file has already been transferred. It works for HTTP transfers only. The new configuration directive is called CacheForceCompletion. [Glen Parker ] PR#2277 *) Add the "] *) Fix yet another signal-based race condition involving nested timers. Signals suck. [Dean Gaudet] *) suexec's error messages have been clarified a little bit. [Ken Coar] *) Clean up some, but perhaps not all, 8-bit character set problems with config file parsing, and URL parsing. We now define ap_isdigit(), ap_isupper(), ... which cast to an (unsigned char). This should work on most modern unixes. [Dean Gaudet] PR#800, 2282, 2553 (and others) *) The "handler not found" error was issued in cases where the handler really did exist, but was just declining to serve the request. [John Van Essen ] PR#2529 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for SCO5 (OpenServer 5.0.x). [Ronald Record ] PR#2533 *) The APACI libexecdir was not extended with an "apache/" subdir if the installation prefix didn't already contain "apache", but it should be because the DSO files are Apache-specific. Now libexecdir is treated the same way sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir are already treated. [Charles Levert ] PR#2551 *) The parsing routine was incorrectly treating methods as case-insensitive. [Ken Coar] *) The ap_bprintf() code neglected to test if there was an error on the connection. ap_bflush() misdiagnosed a failure as a success. [Dean Gaudet] *) add support for #perl arg interpolation in mod_include [Doug MacEachern] *) API: Name changes of table_elts to ap_table_elts, is_table_empty to ap_is_table_empty and bgetflag to ap_bgetflag. [Ben Laurie] *) PORT: Add UnixWare 7 support [Vadim Kostoglodoff ] PR#2463 *) Fix the Guess-DSO-flags-from-Perl stuff in src/Configure: "perl" was used instead of "$PERL" which contains the correctly determined Perl interpreter (important for instance on systems where "perl" and "perl5" exists, like BSDI or FreeBSD, etc). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2505 *) Move the initial suEXEC-related startup message from plain fprintf()/stderr to a delayed ap_log_error()-based one to avoid problems when Apache is started from inetd (instead of standalone). Under this situation startup messages on stderr lead to problems (the line is sent to the client in front of the requested document). [Ralf S.

[a cast of dozens] *) WIN32: If we can't figure out how to execute a file in a script directory, bail out of the request with an error message. [W G Stoddard] *) WIN32 SECURITY: Eliminate directories consisting of three or more dots; these are treated by Win32 as if they are ".." but are not detected by other machinery within Apache. This is something of a kludge but eliminates a security hole. [Manoj Kasichainula, Ben Laurie] *) Move ap_escape_quotes() from src/ap to src/main/util.c; it uses pools and thus pollutes libap (until the pool stuff is moved there). [Ken Coar] *) IndexIgnore should be case-blind on Win32 (and any other case-aware but case-insensitive platforms). New #define for this added to conf.h (CASE_BLIND_FILESYSTEM). [Ken Coar] PR#2455 *) Enable DSO support for OpenBSD in general, not only for 2.x, because it also works for OpenBSD 1.x. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Fix compilation problem on ARM Linux. [Sam Kington ] PR#2443 *) Let APACI's configure script determine some configuration parameters (Group, Port, ServerAdmin, ServerName) via some intelligent tests to remove some of the classical hurdles for new users when setting up Apache. This is done per default because it is useful for the average user. Package authors can use the --without-confadjust option to disable these configuration adjustments. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Added an EXTRA_DEPS configuration parameter which can be used to add an extra Makefile dependency for the httpd target, for instance to external third-party libraries, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add .. sections to the core module (with same spirit as .. sections) which can be used to skip or process contained commands dependend of ``-D PARAMETER'' options on the command line. This can be used to achieve logical conditions like instead of physically ones (e.g. ) and thus especially can be used for conditionally loading DSO-based modules via LoadModule, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: clean up a warning in mod_status for OS/2. [Brian Havard] *) Make table elements const. This may prevent obscure errors. [Ben Laurie] *) Fix parsing of FTP `SIZE' responses in proxy module: The newline was not truncated which forced following HTTP headers to be data in the HTTP reponse. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Charles Fu ] PR#2412, 2367 *) Portability fix for APACI shadow tree support: Swap order of awk and sed in top-level configure script to avoid sed fails on some platforms (for instance SunOS 4.1.3 and NCR SysV) because of the non-newline-termined output of Awk. [Bill Houle ] PR#2435 *) Improve performance of directory listings (mod_autoindex) by comparing integer keys (last-modified and size) as integers rather than converting them to strings first. Also use a set of explicit byte tests rather than strcmp() to check for parent directory-ness of an entry. Oh, and make sure the parent directory (if displayed) is *always* listed first regardless of the sort key. Overall performance winnage should be good in CPU time, instruction cache, and memory usage, particularly for large directories. [Ken Coar] *) Add a tiny but useful goody to APACI's configure script: The generation of a config.status script (as GNU Autoconf does) which remembers the used configure command and hence can be used to restore the configuration by just re-running this script or for remembering the configuration between releases. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add httpd -t (test) option for running configuration syntax tests only. If something is broken it complains and exits with a return code non-equal to 0. This can be used manually by the user to check the Apache configuration after editing and is also automatically used by apachectl on (graceful) restart command to make sure Apache doesn't die on restarts because of a configuration which is now broken since the last (re)start. This way `apachectl restart' can be used inside cronjobs without having to expect Apache to be falling down. Additionally the httpd -t can be run via `apachectl configtest'. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2393 *) Minor display fix for "install" target of top-level Makefile: the displayed installation command was incorrect although the executed command was correct. Now they are in sync. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2402 *) Correct initialization of variable `allowed_globals' in http_main.c [Justin Bradford ] PR#2400 *) Apache would incorrectly downcase the entire Content-Type passed from CGIs. This affected server-push scripts and such which use multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=ThisRandomString. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2394 *) PORT: QNX update to properly guess 32-bit systems. [Sean Boudreau ] PR#2390 *) Make sure the DSO emulation code for HPUX finds the proprietary shl_xxx() functions which are in libdld under HPUX 9/10. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2378 *) Make sure the "install" target of the top-level Makefile doesn't break because of a return code of 1 from an "if" (for instance under braindead Ultrix the result code of an "if" construct is 1 if the "then" clause didn't match). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add an additional "dummy" target to the "$(LIB)" target in generated modules/xxx/Makefile's to avoid problems with SVR4 Make under "full-DSO" situation (no libxxx.a built, only mod_xxx.so's) where LIB and OBJS are empty. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Dean Gaudet, Martin Kraemer] *) Replace two bad sprintf() calls with ap_snprintf() variants in mod_rewrite. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix missing usage description for MetaFiles directive. [David MacKenzie ] PR#2384 *) mod_log_config wouldn't let vhosts use log formats defined in the main server. [Christof Damian ] PR#2090 *) mod_usertrack was corrupting the client hostname. As part of the fix, the cookie values were slightly extended to include the fully qualified hostname of the client. [Dean Gaudet] PR#2190, 2229, 2366 *) Fix a typo in pool debugging code. [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria] *) mod_unique_id did not work on alpha linux (in general on any architecture that has 64-bit time_t). [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria] *) PORT: Make SCO 5 (and probably 3) compile again. [Ben Laurie] *) PORT: NCR MPRAS systems have the same bug with SIGHUP restart that Solaris systems experience. So define WORKAROUND_SOLARIS_BUG. [Klaus Weber ] PR#1973 *) Change "Options None" to "Options FollowSymLinks" in the section of the default access.conf-dist (and -win even though it doesn't matter there). This has better performance, and more intuitive semantics. [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: Updated support for UTS 2.1.2. [Dave Dykstra ] PR#2320 *) Fix symbol export list (src/support/httpd.exp) after recent API changes in the child spawning area. [Jens-Uwe Mager ] *) Workaround for configure script and old `test' commands which do not support the -x flag (for instance under platforms like Ultrix). This is solved by another helper script findprg.sh which searches for Perl and Awk like PrintPath but _via different names_. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Remove the system() call from htpasswd.c, which eliminates a system dependancy. ["M.D.Parker" ] PR#2332 *) PORT: Fix compilation failures on NEXTSTEP. [Rex Dieter ] PR#2293, 2316 *) PORT: F_NDELAY is a typo, should have been FNDELAY. There's also O_NDELAY on various systems. [Dave Dykstra ] PR#2313 *) PORT: helpers/GuessOS updates for various versions for NCR SVR4. [juerg schreiner , Bill Houle ] PR#2310 *) Fix recently introduced Win32 child spawning code in mod_rewrite.c which was broken because of invalid ap_pstrcat() -> strcat() transformation. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Proxy Cache Fixes: account for directory sizes, fork off garbage collection to continue in background, use predefined types (off_t, size_t, time_t), log the current cache usage percentage at LogLevel debug [Martin Kraemer, based on discussion between Dean Gaudet & Dirk vanGulik] Changes with Apache 1.3.0 *) Using a type map file as a custom error document was not possible. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#1031 *) Avoid problems with braindead Awks by additionally searching for gawk and nawk in APACI's configure script. [Dave Dykstra , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2319 *) Rename md5.h to ap_md5.h to avoid conflicts with native MD5 on some systems. [Randy Terbush] *) Change usage of perror()+fprintf(stderr,...) in mod_rewrite to more proper ap_log_error() variants. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make sure the argument for the --add-module option to APACI's configure script is of type [path/to/]mod_xxx.c because all calculations inside configure and src/Configure depend on this. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2307 *) Changes usage of perror/fprintf to stderr to more proper ap_log_error in mod_mime, mod_log_referer, mod_log_agent, and mod_log_config. [Brian Behlendorf] *) Various OS/2 cleanups ["Brian Havard" ] *) PORT: QNX needed a #include ; and now it uses flock serialized accept to handle multiple sockets. [Rob Saccoccio ] PR#2295, 2296 *) Have NT properly set the directory for CGI scripts (& other spawned children) [W G Stoddard ] *) Propagate environment to CGI scripts correctly in Win32. [W G Stoddard ] PR#2294 *) Some symbol renaming: ap_spawn_child_err became ap_spawn_child ap_spawn_child_err_buff became ap_bspawn_child spawn_child was obsoleted and moved to compat.h [Brian Behlendorf] *) Upgrade the child spawning code in mod_rewrite for the RewriteMap programs: ap_spawn_child_err() is used and the Win32 case now uses CreateProcess() instead of a low-level execl() (which caused problems in the past under Win32). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) A few cosmetics and trivial enhancements to APXS to make the generated Makefile more user friendly. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Proxy Fix: The proxy special failure routine ap_proxyerror() was updated to use the normal apache error processing, thereby allowing proxy errors to be treated by ErrorDocument's as well. For this purpose, a new module-to-core communication variable "error-notes" was introduced; the proxy (and possibly other modules) communicates its error text using this variable. Its content is copied to a new cgi-env-var REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES for use by ErrorDocuments. The old proxy special error routine ap_proxy_log_uerror() was replaced by regular ap_log_error() calls, many messages were made more informative. [Martin Kraemer] PR#494, 1259 *) SECURITY: A possible buffer overflow in the ftp proxy was fixed. [Martin Kraemer] *) Transform the configure message "You need root privileges for suEXEC" from a fatal error into a (more friendly) warning because the building ("make") of Apache we can allow, of course. Root privileges are needed only for the installation step ("make install"). So make sure the user is aware of this fact but let him proceed as long as he can. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2288 *) Renamed three more functions to common ap_ prefix which we missed at the Big Symbol Renaming because they're #defines and not real C functions: is_default_port(), default_port(), http_method(). [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) A zero-length name after a $ in an SSI document should cause just the $ to be in the expansion. This was broken during the security fixes in 1.2.5. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1921, 2249 *) Call ap_destroy_sub_req() in ap_add_cgi_vars() to reclaim some memory. [Rob Saccoccio ] PR#2252 *) Fix src/support/httpd.exp (DSO export file which is currently only used under AIX) because of recent changes to function names. [Ralf S. Engelschall] Changes with Apache 1.3b7 *) Make sure a MIME-type can be forced via a RewriteRule even when no substitution takes place, for instance via the following rule: ``RewriteRule ^myscript$ - [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]'' This was often requested by users in the past to force a single script without a .cgi extension and outside any cgi-bin dirs to be executed as a CGI program. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2254 *) A fix for protocol issues surrounding 400, 408, and 414 responses. [Ed Korthof] *) Ignore MaxRequestsPerChild on WIN32. [Brian Behlendorf] *) Fix discrepancy in proxy_ftp.c which was causing failures when trying to connect to certain ftpd's, such as anonftpd. [Rick Ohnemus ] *) Make mod_rewrite use ap_open_piped_log() for RewriteLog directive's logfile instead of fiddling around itself with child spawning stuff. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Made RefererIgnore case-insensitive. *) Mod_log_agent, mod_log_referer now use ap_open_piped_log for piped logs. [Brian Behlendorf] *) Replace use of spawn_child with ap_spawn_child_err_buff, to make everything "safe" under Win32. In: mod_include.c, mod_mime_magic.c [Brian Behlendorf] *) Improve RFC1413 support. [Bob Beck ] *) Fix support script `dbmmanage': It was unable to handle some sort of passwords, especially passwords with "0" chars. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2242 *) WIN32: Clicking on "Last Modified" in a fancy index caused a crash. Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#2238 *) WIN32: CGIs could cause a hang (because of a deadlock in the standard C library), so CGI handling has been changed to use Win32 native handles instead of C file descriptors. [Ben Laurie and Bill Stoddard ] PR#1129, 1607 *) The proxy cache would store an incorrect content-length in the cached file copy after a cache update. That resulted in repeated fetching of the original copy instead of using the cached copy. [Ernst Kloppenburg ] PR#2094 *) The Makefiles assumed that DSO files are build via $(LD). This is broken for two reasons: First we never defined at least LD=ld somewhere to make sure this works (it was silently assumed that most Make provide a built-in LD definition - ARGL!) and second using the generic LD variable is not the truth. Instead a special variable named LD_SHLIB is reasonable because although "ld" is usually the default, the command for building DSO files can be "libtool" or even "cc" on some systems. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Replace the AddVersionPlatform directive with ServerTokens which provides for more control over the format of the Server: header line. SERVER_SUBVERSION is no longer supported; all module should use the ap_add_version_component() API function instead. [Jim Jagielski] *) Support for the NCR MP/RAS 3.0 [John Withers ] *) The LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT variable of src/Configuration[.tmpl] was not retrieved in src/Configure and thus was not useable. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Various Makefile consistency cleanups: - make OSDIR also automatically be relative to src/ like INCDIR - SUBDIRS is now generated in src/Makefile only and not in Makefile.config because it is a local define for this location. - remove BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS because is it no longer used inside any Makefile but make sure that at least the "-K inline" is kept in CFLAGS for SCO 5. - update the "depend" targets in Makefile.tmpl files to use $(OSDIR), too. - updated the dependencies theirself - removed not existing SHLIB variable from "clean" targets - replaced SHLIB_OBJS/SHLIBS_OBJ consistently with OBJS_PIC because OBJS already exists and OBJS_PIC are also just plain objects and have not directly to do with "shared" things. The only difference is that they contain PIC. So OBJS_PIC is the more canonical name. - Updated the Makefile-dependency lines for OBJS_PIC - Removed the Makefile-dependency line in Configure to avoid double definitions - replaced ugly xx-so.o/xx.so-o hack with a clean and consistent usage of xxx.lo as GNU libtool does with its PIC objects - reduce local complexity in modules Makefile.tmpl by moving the last existing target "depend" to the generation section in Configure, too. - removed the historical $(SPACER) which was used in the past together with BROKEN_BPRINTF_FLAGS to avoid zig-zags in the build process. This is no longer needed. - force the build and run of the gen_xxx programs under main/ as the first step before building the objects because it looks cleaner [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) WIN32: Make Win32 work again after the /dev/null DoS fix. [Ben Laurie] *) WIN32: Check for buffer overflows in ap_os_canonical_filename. [Ben Laurie] *) WIN32: Don't force ISAPI headers to finish with \n. [Jim Patterson , Ben Laurie] PR#2060 *) When opening "configuration" files (like httpd.conf, htaccess and htpasswd), Apache will not allow them to be non-/dev/null device files. This closes a DoS hole. At the same time, we use ap_pfopen to open these files to handle timeouts. [Jim Jagielski, Martin Kraemer] *) Apache will now log the reason its httpd children exit if they exit due to an unexpected signal. (It requires a new porting define, SYS_SIGLIST, which if defined should point to a list of text descriptions of the signals available. See PORTING.) [Dean Gaudet] *) WIN32: chdir() doesn't make sense in a multithreaded environment like WIN32. Before, Win32 CGI's could have had sporadic failures if a chdir call from one thread was made between another chdir call and a spawn in another thread. So, for now don't chdir for CGI scripts in WIN32. The current CGI "spec" is unclear as to whether it's necessary. Long-term fix is to either serialize the chdir/spawn combo or use WIN32 native calls to spawn a process. This temp fix was necessary to remove this as a showstopper for 1.3's release. [Brian Behlendorf] *) Cleanup the suEXEC support in APACI and make it more safe: 1. Add big fat hint in INSTALL about risks and to read the htdocs/manual/suexec.html document before using the suexec-related configure options. 2. Make sure the user has at least provided one --suexec-xxxx option (specifies suEXEC parameters) in addition to --enable-suexec option. If only --enable-suexec is given APACI stops with a hint to INSTALL and htdocs/manual/suexec.html documents. 3. Provide two additional --suexec-xxxx options to make the suEXEC configuration complete (especially for package maintainers who else had to patch the source tree) by providing ways to configure minimal UID/GID and safe PATH, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Cleanup of the `configure --shadow' process: - make sure the configure script creates its temporary files in the shadow tree to avoid conflicts with parallel configure runs - removed unnecessary option "-r" from "rm" call for Makefiles - make sure the configure scripts creates the shadow-wrapper Makefile only when no shadow trees already exists - make sure "make distclean" removes the shadow-wrapper Makefile but only when no more shadow trees exists - overhauled mkshadow.sh script: now its more IFS-safe and approx. twice as fast (in the past it needed 70sec, now it runs just 38sec) - make sure CVS does not complain about the created files Makefille. and directories src. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Added the ap_add_version_component() API routine and the AddVersionPlatform core directive. The first allows modules to declare themselves in the Server response header field value, augmenting the SERVER_SUBVERSION define in the Configuration file with run-time settings (more useful in a loadable-module environment). AddVersionPlatform inserts a comment such as "(UNIX)" or "(Win32)" into the server version string. [Ken Coar] PR#2056 *) Minor stability tweaks to avoid core dumps in ap_snprintf. [Martin Kraemer] *) Emit the "Accept-Range" header for the default handler. [Brian Behlendorf] PR#1464 *) Add a note to httpd.conf-dist that apache will on some systems fail to start when the Group # is set to a negative or large positive value. [Martin Kraemer] *) Make sure the module execution order is correct even when some modules are loaded under runtime (`LoadModule') via the DSO mechanism: 1. The list of loaded modules is now a dynamically allocated one and not the original statically list from modules.c 2. The loaded modules are now correctly setup by LoadModule for later use by the AddModule command. 3. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used APACI's `install' target now enables all created `LoadModule' lines per default because this is both already expected by the user _and_ needed to avoid confusion with the next point and reduces the Makefile.tmpl complexity 4. When the DSO mechanism for modules is used, APACI's `install' target now additionally makes sure the module list is reconstructed via a complete `ClearModuleList+AddModule...' entry. 5. The support tool `apxs' now also makes sure an AddModule command is added in addition to the LoadModule command. 6. The modules.c generation was extended to now contain two comments to make sure no one is confused by the confusing terminology of loading/linking (we use load=link+load & link=activate instead of the obvious load=activate & link=link :-( ) This way now there is no longer a difference under execution time between statically and dynamically linked modules. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix the generated mod_xxx.c from "apxs -g -f xxx" after the Big Symbol Renaming. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add a comment to mod_example.c showing the format of a FLAG command handler. [Ken Coar] *) Standardized the time format in mod_status to match that of other places in the code (e.g. DATE_GMT). PR#1551 *) Fix handling of %Z in timefmt strings for those platforms with no time zone information in their tm struct. [Paul Eggert ] PR#754 *) Makes mod_rewrite, mod_log_config, mod_status and the ServerSignature feature compatible with 'UseCanonicalName off' by changing r->server->server_hostname to ap_get_server_name(). And I changed some functions which use r->server->port to use ap_get_server_port() instead, because if there's no Port directive in the config r->server->port is 0. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) get/set_module_config are trivial enough to be better off inline. Worth 1.5% performance boost. [Dean Gaudet] *) Fix off-by-one error in ap_proxy_date_canon() in proxy_util.c when ensuring 'x' is at least 30-chars big. [Jim Jagielski, Brian Behlendorf] *) [BS2000 security] BS2000 needs an extra authentication to initialize the task environment to the unprivileged User id. Otherwise CGI scripts would have a way to gain super user access. [Martin Kraemer] *) Fix debug log messages for BS2000/OSD: instead of logging the whole absolute path, only log base name of logging source as is done in unix. [Martin Kraemer] *) Ronald Tschalaer's Accept-Encoding patch - preserve the "x-" in the encoding type from the Accept-Encoding header (if it's there) and use it in the response, as that's probably what it'll be expecting. [] *) Fix to mod_alias: translate_alias_redir is dealing with a URI, not a filename, so the check for drive letters for win32 and emx is not necessary. [Dean Gaudet] *) WIN32: Allow .cmd as an executable extension. [Kari Likovuori ] PR#2146 *) Make Apache header files, and some variables, C++ friendly. [Michael Anderson's ] *) Child processes can now "signal" (by exiting with a status of APEXIT_CHILDFATAL) the parent process to abort and shutdown the server if the error in the child process was fatal enough. [Jim Jagielski] *) mod_autoindex's find_itme() was sensitive to MIME type case. [Jim Jagielski] PR#2112 *) Make sure the referer_log and agent_log entries in the default httpd.conf file are also adjusted for the actual relative installation paths. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2175 *) WIN32: Extensive overhaul of the way UNCs are handled. [Ben Laurie] *) WIN32: Make roots of filesystems (e.g. c:/) work. [Ben Laurie] PR#1558 *) PORT: Various porting changes to support AIX 3.2, 4.1.5, 4.2 and 4.3. Additionally the checks for finding the vendor DSO library were moved from mod_so.c to Configure because first it needs $PLAT etc. and second mod_so already uses an abstraction layer and does not fiddle with the vendor functions itself. [Jens-Uwe Mager, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Some optimization defines for NetBSD [Jaromir Dolecek ] PR#2165 *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for NetBSD. [Jaromir Dolecek , Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2158 *) Add Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for AIX (at least 4.2 but older AIX variants should work fine, too. Even AIX 3.x should work). This is accomplished by using the free DSO emulation code from Jens-Uwe Mager which we put into a os/unix/os-dso-aix.c file. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Fix compiler warnings under AIX >= 4.2 where the manual pages imply that we should use NET_SIZE_T == int but the include files force size_t. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix two bugs in select() handling in http_main.c. [Roy Fielding] *) Suppress "error(0)" messages for ap_log_error() when the APLOG_NOERRNO is unset (as it is in situations like timeouts) where it is unclear whether errno is set or not. [Martin Kraemer] *) Just having APACI's localstatedir is too general and not enough for most of the systems. 1.3b6 again required manual APACI patches by package maintainers from Red Hat and FreeBSD because for their filesystem layout a little bit more flexibility in configuring the paths is needed. Hence we provide three additional configure options (--runtimedir, --logfiledir, --proxycachedir) which now can be used for more granular adjustments if --localstatedir is not enough to fit the particular needs. As a nice side-effect this reduces some subdir fiddling in configure+Makefile.tmpl. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make the install root for "make install" in APACI's Makefile overrideable by package authors. This way we are even more friendly to package maintainers (especially Debian and Red Hat) who build for the real prefix via "configure --prefix=/" but use a different local prefix via "make root=/tmp/apache install" for rolling the package without bristling the target location on their system. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Workaround sed limitations in APACI's configure script by now substituting in chunks of 50 commands (because for instance HPUX's vendor sed has a limit of max. 98 commands) [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2136 *) Adding SOCKS5 support and fixing existing SOCKS4 support. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2140 *) Manually fix some symbols which were not renamed to prefix ap_ in the BIG RENAMING process because they are defined as pre-processor macros instead of real functions: bputc, bgetc, piped_log_write_fd, piped_log_read_fd [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Workaround braindead AWK's when generating ap_config.h: The split() and substr() functions cannot be nested under vendor AWK from Solaris 2.6. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2139 *) Various bugfixes and cleanups for the APACI configure script: o fix IFS handling for _nested_ situation o fix Perl interpreter search: take first one found instead of last one o fix DSO consistency check o print error messages to stderr instead of stdout o add install-quiet for --shadow situation to Makefile stub o reduce complexity by avoiding sed-hacks for rule and module list loops [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix DEBUG_CGI situation in mod_cgi.c [David MacKenzie] PR#2114 *) Make sure the input field separator (IFS) shell variable is explicitly initialized correctly before _every_ `for' loop and also restored after the loops. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the `mime.types' and `magic' files from an existing Apache installation. Because people often customize these for own MIME and content types. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support for OpenBSD 2.x [Peter Galbavy, Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2109 *) Fix the path to the ScoreBoardFile in the install-config target, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2105 *) Let "configure" clear out the users parameters (provided as shell variables) to avoid side-effects in "src/Configure" when the user exported them (which is not needed, but some users do it). [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2101 *) Provide backward compatibility from some old src/Configuration.tmpl parameter names to the canonical Autoconf-style shell variable names. For instance CFLAGS vs. EXTRA_CFLAGS. The EXTRA_xxx variants are accepted now but a hint message is displayed. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make sure that "make install" doesn't overwrite the DocumentRoot and CGI scripts from an existing Apache installation. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Jim Jagielski] PR#2084 *) Make `configure --compat' more "compatible" by first let the libexecdir default to EPREFIX/libexec instead of EPREFIX/bin and second by making sure the "avoid-bristling-suffix" /apache is not appended to sysconfdir, datadir, localstatedir and includedir when --compat is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Eilebrecht] *) NeXT required strdup() in support/logresolve.c [Francisco Tomei ] PR#2082 *) AIX required sys/select.h in support/ab.c [Jens Schleusener ] PR#2081 *) Fix the path to the MimeMagicFile in the install-config target, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#2089 *) PORT: Added HP-UX 11 patches [Jeff Earickson ] *) If you start apache with the -S command line option it will dump out the parsed vhost settings. This is useful for folks trying to figure out what is wrong with their vhost configuration. (Other dumps may be added in the future.) [Dean Gaudet] *) Add %pA, %pI, and %pp codes to ap_vformatter (and hence ap_bprintf, ap_snprintf, and ap_psprintf). See include/ap.h for docs. [Dean Gaudet] *) Because /usr/local/apache is the default prefix the ``configure --compat'' option no longer has to set prefix, again. This way the --compat option honors a leading --prefix option. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) PORT: Cast the first argument of dlopen() in ap_os_dso_load() to `char *' under OSF1 and FreeBSD 2.x where it is defined this way to avoid "discard const" warnings. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) If a specific handler is set for a file yet the request still ends up being handled by the default handler, log an error message before handling it. This catches things such as trying to use SSIs without mod_include enabled. [Marc Slemko] *) Fix error logging for the startup case where ap_log_error() still uses stderr as the target. Now the default log level is honored here, too. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Make sure some AWK's don't fail in src/Configure with "string too long" errors when generating the MODULES entry for src/Makefile [Ben Hyde, Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Make sure src/Configure doesn't complain about the old directory /usr/local/etc/httpd/ when APACI is used. [Lars Eilebrecht] Changes with Apache 1.3b6 *) PORT: Clean up warnings on Ultrix and HPUX. [Ben Hyde] *) Adding DSO support for the HP/UX platform by emulating the dlopen-style interface via the similar but proprietary HP/UX shl_xxx-style system calls. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) PORT: Updated UnixWare 2.0.x and 2.1.x entries for DSO support and made APACI Makefile.tmpl "install" target more robust for sensible UnixWare Make. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) ++++ THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING ++++ To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the server, we globally applied the prefix "ap_" to the following classes of functions: - Apache provided general functions (e.g., ap_cpystrn) - Public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets) - Private functions which we can't make static (because of cross-object usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection) For backward source compatibility a new header file named compat.h was created which provides defines for the old symbol names and can be used by third-party module authors. [The Apache Group] *) Added dynamic shared object (DSO) support for SVR4-derivates: The problem under SVR4 is that there is no command flag to force the linker to export the global symbols of the httpd executable therewith they are available to the DSO's. Instead of problematic hacks like creating a dummy.so file (containing dummy references to all global symbols) the httpd binary is linked against, we use a clean trick stolen from Perl 5: Placing the Apache core code itself into a DSO library named libhttpd.so. This way the global symbols _HAVE_ to be exported and thus are available to any manually loaded DSO's under runtime. To reduce the impact to the user to null we go even further and create a stub httpd executable which automatically keeps track of the DSO library loading itself and thus hides the complete mechanism from the user. Although the generation of this DSO library is automatically triggered for platforms which essentially need it (mostly all SVR4-derivates) it can be also enabled manually via the Rule SHARED_CORE. This can be interesting in the future where we perhaps exploit this libhttpd.so mechanism for providing nifty features like graceful upgrades, or whatever. [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer] *) Build the libraries before building the rest of the tools. [Ben Hyde] *) Add "distclean" target to src/-Makefiles to provide "make distclean" also inside the src subtree (i.e. for non-APACI users). Following GNU Makefile conventions while "clean" removes only stuff created by "all" targets, "distclean" additionally removes the stuff from the configuration process. This way "make distclean" (hence the name) provides a fresh source tree as it was for distribution. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Allow top-level (APACI) Makefile to break on build errors the same way the src/ subtree Makefiles breaks on them by replacing the initial APACI sed-subdir-display-kludge with a more clean variable-passing-solution: variable SDP can optionally hold the subdir prefix which is consistently used for displaying the subdir movement. This way even the top-level Makefile can stop correctly on errors as the user expects. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fixed ordering of argument checks for RewriteBase directive. [Todd Eigenschink ] PR#2045 *) Change Win32 IS_MODULE to SHARED_MODULE to match Unix' method of indicating that a module is being compiled for dynamic loading. Also remove #define IS_MODULE from modules and add SHARED_MODULE define to the mak/dsp files. [Alexei Kosut] *) Reduce logging level of "normal" warning messages to APLOG_INFO, since we are now logging APLOG_WARNING by default. [Roy Fielding] *) PORT: OS/2 tweak to deal with multiple .exe targets. [Brian Havard] *) Add documentation file and src/Configuration.tmpl entry for the experimental mod_mmap_static module. Because although it is and marked as an experimental one it is distributed and thus should be documented and prepared for configuration the same way as all others modules. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add query (-q) option to apxs support tool to be able to manually query specific settings from apxs. This is needed for instance when you manually want to access Apache's header files and you need to assemble the -I option. Now you can do -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR`. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Now src/Configure uses a fallback strategy for the shared object support on platforms where no explicit information is available: If a Perl installation exists we ask it about its shared object support and if it's the dlopen-style one we shamelessly guess the compiler and linker flags for creating shared objects from Perls knowledge. Of course, the user is warning about what we are doing and informed that he should send us the guessed flags when they work. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Provide APACI --without-support option to be able to disable the build and installation of the support tools from the src/support/ area. Although its useful to have these installed per default we should provide a way to compile and install without them for backward-compatibility. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add of the new APache eXtenSion (apxs) support tool for building and installing modules into an _already installed_ Apache package through the dynamic shared object (DSO) mechanism [mod_so.c]. The trick here is that this approach actually doesn't need the Apache source tree. The (APACI-installed) server package is enough, because this now includes the Apache C header files (PREFIX/include) and the new APXS tool (SBINDIR/apxs). The intend is to provide a handy tool for third-party module authors to build their Apache modules _OUTSIDE_ the Apache source tree while avoiding them to fiddle around with the totally platform dependend way of compiling DSO files. The tool supports all ranges of modules, from trivial ones (single mod_foo.c) to complex ones (like PHP3 which has a mod_php3.c plus a pre-built libmodphp3-so.a) and even can on-the-fly generate a minimalistic Makefile and sample module for the first step to provide both a quick success event and to demonstrate the APXS mechanism to module authors. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix core dumps in use of CONNECT in proxy. [] PR#1326, #1573, #1942 *) Modify the log directives in httpd.conf-dist files to use CustomLog so that users have examples of how CustomLog can be used. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) Add the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) for the top-level of the Apache distribution tree. Until Apache 1.3 there was no real out-of-the-box batch-capable build and installation procedure for the complete Apache package. This is now provided by a top-level "configure" script and a corresponding top-level "Makefile.tmpl" file. The goal is to provide a GNU Autoconf-style frontend which is capable to both drive the old src/Configure stuff in batch and additionally installs the package with a GNU-conforming directory layout. Any options from the old configuration scheme are available plus a lot of new options for flexibly customizing Apache. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) The floating point ap_snprintf code wasn't threadsafe. Had to remove the HAVE_CVT macro in order to do threadsafe calling of the ?cvt() floating point routines. [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: Add the SCO_SV port. [Jim Jagielski] PR#1962 *) PORT: IRIX needs the -n32 flag iff using the 'cc' compiler [Jim Jagielski] PR#1901 *) BUG: Configure was using TCC and CC inconsistently. Make sure Configure knows which CC we are using. [Jim Jagielski] *) "Options +Includes" wasn't correctly merged if "+IncludesNoExec" was defined in a parent directory. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) API: ap_snprintf() code mutated into ap_vformatter(), which is a generic printf-style routine that can call arbitrary output routines. Use this to replace http_bprintf.c. Add new routines psprintf(), pvsprintf() which allocate the exact amount of memory required for a string from a pool. Use psprintf() to clean up various bits of code which used ap_snprintf()/pstrdup(). [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: HAVE_SNPRINTF doesn't do anything any longer. This is because ap_snprintf() has different semantics and formatting codes than snprintf(). [Dean Gaudet] *) SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ are now reset to SIG_DFL at boot-time. This is necessary on at least Solaris where the /etc/rc?.d scripts are run with these signals ignored, and "SIG_IGN" settings are maintained across exec(). [Rein Tollevik ] PR#2009 *) Fix the check for symbolic links in ``RewriteCond ... -l'': stat() was used instead of lstat() and thus this flag didn't work as expected. [Rein Tollevik ] PR#2010 *) Fix the proxy pass-through feature of mod_rewrite for the case of existing QUERY_STRING now that mod_proxy was recently changed because of the new URL parsing stuff. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) A few changes to scoreboard definitions which helps gcc generate better code. [Dean Gaudet] *) ANSI C doesn't guarantee that "int foo : 2" in a structure will be a signed bitfield. So mark a few bitfields as signed to ensure correct code. [Dean Gaudet] *) The default for HostnameLookups was changed to Off, but there was a problem and it wasn't taking effect. [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: Clean up undefined signals on some platforms (SCO, BeOS). [Dean Gaudet] *) After a SIGHUP the listening sockets in the parent weren't properly marked for closure on fork(). [Jürgen Keil ] PR#2000 *) Allow %2F in two situations: 1) it is in the query part of the URI, therefore not exposed to %2F -> '/' translations and 2) the request is a proxy request, so we're not dealing with a local resource anyway. Without this, the proxy would fail to work for any URL's with %2f in them (occurs quite often in http://.../cgi-bin/...?http%3A%2F%2F... references) [Martin Kraemer] *) Protect against FD_SETSIZE mismatches. [Dean Gaudet] *) Make the shared object compilation command more portable by avoiding the direct combination of `-c' & `-o' which is not honored by some compilers like UnixWare's cc. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) WIN32: the proxy was creating filenames missing the last four characters. While this normally doesn't stop anything from working, it can result in extra collisions. [Tim Costello ] PR#1890 *) Now mod_proxy uses the response string (in addition to the response status code) from the already used FTP SIZE command to setup the Content-Length header if available. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1183 *) Reanimated the (still undocumented) proxy receive buffer size directive: Renamed from ReceiveBufferSize to ProxyReceiveBufferSize because the old name was really too generic, added documentation for this directive to the mod_proxy.html and corrected the hyperlink to it in the new_features_1.3.html document. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1348 *) Fix a bug in the src/helpers/fp2rp script and make it a little bit faster [Martin Kraemer] *) Make Configure die when you give it an unknown command switch. [Ben Hyde] *) Add five new and fresh manpages for the support programs: dbmmanage.1, suexec.8, htdigest.1, rotatelogs.8 and logresolve.8. Now all up-to-date and per default compiled support programs have manual pages - just to document our stuff a little bit more and to be able to do really Unix-like installations ;-) [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Major cleanups to the Configure script to make it and its generated Makefiles again readable and maintainable: add SRCDIR option, removed INCLUDES_DEPTH[0-2] kludge, cleanup of TARGET option, cleanup of generated sections, consequently added Makefile headers with inheritance information, added subdir movement messages for easier following where the build process currently stays (more verbose then standard Make, less verbose than GNU make), same style to comments in the Configure script, added Apache license header, fixed a few bugs, etc. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Add the new ApacheBench program "ab" to src/support/: This is derived from the ZeusBench benchmarking program and can be used to determine the response performance of an Apache installation. This version is officially licensed with Zeus Technology, Ltd. See the license agreement statements in <199803171224.NAA24547 en1.engelschall.com> in apache-core. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) API: Various core functions that are definately not part of the API have been made static, and a few have been marked API_EXPORT. Still more have been marked CORE_EXPORT and are not intended for general use by modules. [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet] *) mod_proxy was not clearing the Proxy-Connection header from requests; now it does. This did not violate any spec, however causes poor interactions when you are talking to remote proxies. [Marc Slemko] PR#1741 *) Various cleanups to the command line interface and manual pages. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) cfg_getline() was not properly handling lines that did not end with a line termination character. [Marc Slemko] PR#1869, 1909 *) Performance tweak to mod_log_config. [Dmitry Khrustalev] *) Clean up some undocumented behavior of mod_setenvif related to "merging" two SetEnvIf directives when they match the same header and regex. Document that mod_setenvif will perform comparisons in the order they appear in the config file. Optimize mod_setenvif by doing more work at config time rather than at runtime. [Dean Gaudet] *) src/include/ap_config.h now wraps it's #define's with #ifndef/#endif's to allow for modules to overrule them and to reduce redefinition warnings [Jim Jagielski] *) [PORT] For A/UX change the OS-#define for -DAUX to -DAUX3. [Jim Jagielski] *) Making the hard-coded cross-module function call mime_find_ct() (from mod_proxy to mod_mime) obsolete by making sure the API hook for MIME type checking is really called even for proxy requests except for URLs with HTTP schemes (because there we can optimize by not running the type checking hooks due to the fact that the proxy gets the MIME Content-type from the remote host later). This change cleans up mod_mime by removing the ugly export kludge, makes the one-liner file mod_mime.h obsolete, and especially unbundles mod_proxy and mod_mime. This way they both now can be compiled as shared objects and are no longer tied together. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) util.c cleanup and speedup. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: Clarification, pstrndup() will always copy n bytes of the source and NUL terminate at the (n+1)st byte. [Dean Gaudet] *) Mark module command_rec and handler_rec structures const so that they end up in the read-only data section (and are friendlier to systems that don't do optimistic memory allocation on fork()). [Dean Gaudet] *) Add check to the "Port" directive to make sure the specified port is in the appropriate range. [Ben Hyde] *) Performance improvements to invoke_handler(). [Dmitry Khrustalev ] *) Added support for building shared objects even for library-style modules (which are built from more than one object file). This now provides the ability to build mod_proxy as a shared object module. Additionally modules like mod_example are now also supported for shared object building because the generated Makefiles now no longer assume there is at least one statically linked module. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) API: Clarify usage of content_type, handler, content_encoding, content_language and content_languages fields in request_rec. They must always be lowercased; and the strings pointed to shouldn't be modified (you must copy them to modify them). Fix a few bugs related to this. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: Clarification: except for RAW_ARGS, all command handlers can treat the char * parameters as permanent, and modifiable. There is no need to pstrdup() them. Clean up some needless pstrdup(). [Dean Gaudet] *) Now mod_so keeps track of which module shared objects with which names are loaded and thus avoids multiple loading and unloading and irritating error_log messages. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Prior to the existence of mod_setenv it was necessary to tweak the TZ environment variable in the apache core. But that tweaking interferes with mod_setenv. So don't tweak if the user has specified an explicit TZ variable. [Jay Soffian ] PR#1888 *) rputs() did not calculate r->sent_bodyct properly. [Siegmund Stirnweiss ] PR#1900 *) The CGI spec says that REMOTE_HOST should be set to the remote hosts's name, or left unset if this value is unavailable. Apache was setting it to the IP address when unavailable. [Tony Finch ] PR#1925 *) Various improvements to the configuration and build support for compiling modules as shared objects. Especially Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.1, IRIX and OSF1 support with GCC and vendor compilers was added. This way shared object support is now provided out-of-the-box for FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and OSF1. In short: On all major platforms! [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Minor cleanup in http_main -- split QNX and OS2 specific "mmap" scoreboard code into separate #defines -- USE_POSIX_SCOREBOARD and USE_OS2_SCOREBOARD. [Dean Gaudet] *) Fix one more special locking problem for RewriteMap programs in mod_rewrite: According to the documentation of flock(), "Locks are on files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of a lock, but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file, the parent will lose its lock.". To overcome this we have to make sure the RewriteLock file is opened _AFTER_ the childs were spawned which is now the case by opening it in the child_init instead of the module_init API hook. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029 *) Change to Location and LocationMatch semantics. LocationMatch no longer lets a single slash match multiple adjacent slashes in the URL. This change is for consistency with RewriteRule and AliasMatch. Multiple slashes have meaning in URLs that they do not have in (some) filesystems. Location on the other hand can be considered a shorthand for a more complicated regex, and it does match multiple slashes with a single slash -- which is also consistent with the Alias directive. [Dean Gaudet] related PR#1440 *) Fix bug with mod_mime_magic causing certain files, including files of length 0, to result in no response from the server. [Dean Gaudet] *) The Configure script now generates src/include/ap_config.h which contains the set of defines used when Apache is compiled on a platform. This file can then be included by external modules before including any Apache header files in case they are being built separately from Apache. Along with this change, a couple of minor changes were made to make Apache's #defines coexist peacefully with any autoconf defines an external module might have. [Rasmus Lerdorf] *) Fix mod_rewrite for the ugly API case where sections exist but without any RewriteXXXXX directives. Here mod_rewrite is given no chance by the API to initialize its per-server configuration and thus receives the wrong one from the main server. This is now avoided by remembering the server together with the config structure while configuring and later assuming there is no config when we see a difference between the remembered server and the one calling us. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1790 *) Fixed the DBM RewriteMap support for mod_rewrite: First the support now is automatically disabled under configure time when the dbm_xxx functions are not available. Second, two heavy source code errors in the DBM support code were fixed. This makes DBM RewriteMap's usable again after a long time of brokenness. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1696 *) Now all configuration files support Unix-style line-continuation via the trailing backslash ("\") character. This enables us to write down complex or just very long directives in a more readable way. The backslash character has to be really the last character before the newline and it has not been prefixed by another (escaping) backslash. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) When using ProxyPass the ?querystring was not passed correctly. [Joel Truher ] *) To deal with modules being compiled and [dynamically] linked at a different time from the core, the SERVER_VERSION and SERVER_BUILT symbols have been abstracted through the new API routines apapi_get_server_version() and apapi_get_server_built(). [Ken Coar] PR#1448 *) WIN32: Preserve trailing slash in canonical path (and hence in PATH_INFO). [Paul Sutton, Ben Laurie] *) PORT: USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT has proven unreliable depending on the rev of Solaris and what mixture of modules are in use. So it has been disabled, and Solaris is back to using USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. Users may experiment with USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT at their own risk, it may speed up static content only servers. Or it may fail unpredictably. [Dean Gaudet] PR#1779, 1854, 1904 *) mod_test_util_uri.c created which tests the logic in util_uri.c. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: Rewrite of absoluteURI handling, and in particular how absoluteURIs match vhosts. Unless a request is a proxy request, a "http://host" url is treated as if a similar "Host:" header had been supplied. This change was made to support future HTTP/1.x protocols which may require clients to send absoluteURIs for all requests. In order to achieve this change subtle changes were made to the API. In a request_rec, r->hostlen has been removed. r->unparsed_uri now exists so that the unmodified uri can be retrieved easily. r->proxyreq is not set by the core, modules must set it during the post_read_request or translate_names phase. Plus changes to the virtualhost test suite for absoluteURI testing. This fixes several bugs with the proxy proxying requests to vhosts managed by the same httpd. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: Cleanup of code in http_vhost.c, and remove vhost matching code from mod_rewrite. The vhost matching is now performed by a globally available function matches_request_vhost(). [Dean Gaudet] *) Reduce memory usage, and speed up ServerAlias support. As a side-effect users can list multiple ServerAlias directives and they're all considered. [Chia-liang Kao ] PR#1531 *) The "poly" directive in image maps did not include the borders of the polygon, whereas the "rect" directive does. Fix this inconsistency. [Konstantin Morshnev ] PR#1771 *) Make \\ behave as expected. [] *) Add the `%a' construct to LogFormat and CustomLog to log the client IP address. [Todd Eigenschink ] PR#1885 *) API: A new source module main/util_uri.c; It contains a routine parse_uri_components() and friends which breaks a URI into its component parts. These parts are stored in a uri_components structure called parsed_uri within each request_rec, and are available to all modules. Additionally, an unparse routine is supplied which re-assembles the URI components back to an URI, optionally hiding the username:password@ part from ftp proxy requests, and other useful routines. Within the structure, you find on a ready-for-use basis: scheme; /* scheme ("http"/"ftp"/...) */ hostinfo; /* combined [user[:password]@]host[:port] */ user; /* user name, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */ password; /* password, as in http://user:passwd@host:port/ */ hostname; /* hostname from URI (or from Host: header) */ port_str; /* port string (integer representation is in "port") */ path; /* the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */ query; /* Everything after a '?' in the path, if present */ fragment; /* Trailing "#fragment" string, if present */ This is meant to serve as the platform for *BIG* savings in code complexity for the proxy module (and maybe the vhost logic). [Martin Kraemer] *) Make all possible meta-construct expansions ($N, %N, %{NAME} and ${map:key}) available for all location where a string is created in mod_rewrite rewriting rulesets: 1st arg of RewriteCond, 2nd arg of RewriteRule and for the [E=NAME:STRING] flag of RewriteRule. This way the possible expansions are consequently usable at all string creation locations. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Fix initialization of RewriteLogLevel (default now is 0 as documented and not 1) and the per-virtual-server merging of directives. Now all directives except `RewriteEngine' and `RewriteOption' are either completely overridden (default) or completely inherited (when `RewriteOptions inherit') is used. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1325 *) Fix `RewriteMap' program lookup in situations where such maps are defined but disabled (`RewriteEngine off') in per-server context. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1431 *) Fix bug introduced in 1.3b4-dev, config with no Port setting would cause server to bind to port 0 rather than 80. [Dean Gaudet] *) Fix long-standing problem with RewriteMap _programs_ under Unix derivates (like SunOS and FreeBSD) which don't accept the locking of pipes directly. A new directive RewriteLock is introduced which can be used to setup a separate locking file which then is used for synchronization. [Ralf S. Engelschall] PR#1029 *) WIN32: The server root is obtained from the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Group\Apache\ (version is currently "1.3 beta"), unless overridden by the -d command line flag. The value is stored by running "apache -i -d serverroot". [Paul Sutton] *) Merged os/win32/mod_dll.c into modules/standard/mod_so.c to support dynamic loading on Win32 and Unix via the same module. [Paul Sutton] *) Now mod_rewrite no longer makes problematic assumptions on the characters a username can contain when trying to expand it via /etc/passwd. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) The mod_setenvif BrowserMatch backwards compatibility command did not work properly with spaces in the regex. [Ronald Tschalaer] PR#1825 *) Add new RewriteMap types: First, `rnd' which is equivalent to the `txt' type but with a special post-processing for the looked-up value: It parses it into alternatives according to `|' chars and then only one particular alternative is chosen randomly (this is an essential functionality needed for balancing between backend-servers when using Apache as a Reverse Proxy. The looked up value here is a list of servers). Second, `int' with the built-in maps named `tolower' and `toupper' which can be used to map URL parts to a fixed case (this is an essential feature to fix the case of server names when doing mass virtual-hosting with the help of mod_rewrite instead of using sections). [Ralf S. Engelschall, parts based on code from Jay Soffian ] PR#1631 *) Add a new directive to mod_proxy similar to ProxyPass: `ProxyPassReverse'. This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in Location-headers on HTTP redirect responses sent by the remote server. This way the virtually mapped area is no longer left on redirects and thus by-passed which is especially essential when running Apache as a reverse proxy. [Ralf S. Engelschall] *) Hide Proxy-Authorization from CGI/SSI/etc just like Authorization is hidden. [Alvaro Martinez Echevarria] *) Apache will, when started with the -X (single process) debugging flag, honor the SIGINT or SIGQUIT signals again now.

[Paul Sutton] *) All BrowserMatch directives mentioned in htdocs/manual/known_client_problems.html are in the default configuration files. [Lars Eilebrecht] *) MiNT port update. [Jan Paul Schmidt] *) HTTP/1.1 requires x-gzip and gzip encodings be treated equivalent, similarly for x-compress and compress. Apache now ignores a leading x- when comparing encodings. It also preserves the encoding the client requests (for example if it requests x-gzip, then Apache will respond with x-gzip in the Content-Encoding header). [Ronald Tschalaer ] PR#1772 *) Fix a memory leak on keep-alive connections. [Igor Tatarinov] *) Added mod_so module to support dynamic loading of modules on Unix (like mod_dld for Win32).

[Randy Terbush] *) API: Generalize default_port manipulations to make support of different protocols easier. [Ben Laurie, Randy Terbush] *) There are many cases where users do not want Apache to form self-referential urls using the "canonical" ServerName and Port. The new UseCanonicalName directive (default on), if set to off will cause Apache to use the client-supplied hostname and port. API: Part of this change required a change to the construct_url() prototype; and the addition of get_server_name() and get_server_port(). [Michael Douglass , Dean Gaudet] PR#315, 459, 485, 1433 *) Yet another rearrangement of the source tree.. now all the common header files are in the src/include directory. The -Imain -Iap references in Makefiles have been changed to the simpler -Iinclude instead. In addition to simplifying the build a little bit, this also makes it clear when a module is referencing something in a other than kosher manner (e.g., the proxy including mod_mime.h). Module-private header files (the proxy, mod_mime, the regex library, and mod_rewrite) have not been moved to src/include; nor have the OS-abstraction files. [Ken Coar] *) Fix a bug where r->hostname didn't have the :port stripped from it. [Dean Gaudet] *) Tweaked the headers_out table size, and the subprocess_env table size guess in rename_original_environment(). Added MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE which can help discover make_table() calls that use too small an initial guess, see alloc.c. [Dean Gaudet] *) Options and AllowOverride weren't properly merging in the main server setting inside vhosts (only an issue when you have no or other section containing an Options that affects a request). Options +foo or -foo in the main_server wouldn't affect the main_server's lookup defaults. [Dean Gaudet] *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set. [Ken Coar] PR#1738 *) r->allowed handling cleaned up in the standard modules. [Dean Gaudet] *) Some case-sensitivity issues cleaned up to be consistent with RFC2068. [Dean Gaudet] *) SIGURG doesn't exist everywhere. [Mark Andrew Heinrich ] *) mod_unique_id was erroneously generating a second unique id when an internal redirect occured. Such redirects occur, for example, when processing a DirectoryIndex match. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: table_add, table_merge, and table_set include implicit pstrdup() of the key and value. But in many cases this is not required because the key/value is a constant, or the value has been built by pstrcat() or other similar means. New routines table_addn, table_mergen, and table_setn have been added to the API, these routines do not pstrdup() their arguments. The core code and standard modules were changed to take advantage of these routines. The resulting server is up to 20% faster in some situations. Note that it is easy to get code subtly wrong if you pass a key/value which is in a pool other than the pool of the table. The only safe thing to do is to pass key/values which are in the pool of the table, or in one of the ancestors of the pool of the table. i.e. if the table is part of a subrequest, a value from the main request's pool is OK since the subrequest pool is a sub_pool of the main request's pool (and therefore has a lifespan at most as long as the main pool). There is debugging code which can detect improper usage, enabled by defining POOL_DEBUG. See alloc.c for more details. [Dmitry Khrustalev , Dean Gaudet] *) More mod_mime_magic cleanup: fewer syscalls; should handle "files" which don't exist on disk more gracefully; handles vhosts properly. Update documentation to reflect the code -- if there's no MimeMagicFile directive then the module is not enabled. [Dean Gaudet] *) PORT: Some older *nix dialects cannot automatically start scripts which begin with a #! interpreter line (the shell starts the scripts appropriately on these platforms). Apache now supports starting of "hashbang-scripts" when the NEED_HASHBANG_EMUL define is set. [Martin Kraemer, with code from Peter Wemm taken from tcsh] *) API: "typedef array_header table" removed from alloc.h, folks should have been writing to use table as if it were an opaque type, but even some standard modules got this wrong. By changing the definition to "typedef struct table table" module authors will receive compile time warnings that they're doing the wrong thing. This change facilitates future changes with more sophisticated table structures. Specifically, module authors should be using table_elts() to get access to an array_header * for the table. [Dean Gaudet] *) API: Renamed new_connection() to avoid namespace collision with LDAP library routines. [Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf] *) WIN32: mod_speling is now available on the Win32 platform. [Marc Slemko] *) For clarity the following compile time definition was changed: SAFE_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -> SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT Also, for example, HAVE_MMAP would mean to use mmap() scoreboards and not be a general notice that the OS has mmap(). Now the HAVE_MMAP/SHMGET #defines strictly are informational that the OS has that method of shared memory; the type to use for the scoreboard is a seperate #define (USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD and USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD). This allows outside modules to determine if shared memory is available and allows Apache to determine the best method to use for the scoreboard. [Jim Jagielski] *) PORT: UnixWare 2.1.2 SMP appears to require USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT, as do various earlier versions. It should be safe on all versions. Unixware 1.x appears to have the same SIGHUP bug as solaris does with the slack code. A few other cleanups for Unixware. [Tom Hughes ] PR#1082, PR#1282, PR#1499, PR#1553 *) PORT: A/UX can handle single-listen accepts without mutex locking, so we add SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT. [Jim Jagielski] *) When die() happens we need to eat any request body if one exists. Otherwise we can't continue with a keepalive session. This shows up as a POST problem with MSIE 4.0, typically against pages which are authenticated. [Roy Fielding] PR#1399 *) If you define SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION then the Authorization header will be passed to CGIs. This is generally a security hole, so it's not a default. [Marc Slemko] PR#549 *) Fix Y2K problem with date printing in suexec log. [Paul Eggert ] PR#1343 *) WIN32 deserves a pid file. [Ben Hyde] *) suexec errors now include the errno/description. [Marc Slemko] PR#1543 *) PORT: OSF/1 now uses USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT to solve PR#467. The choice of flock vs. fcntl was made based on timings which showed that even on non-NFS, non-exported filesystems fcntl() was an order of magnitude slower. It also uses SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT so that single socket users will see no difference. [Dean Gaudet] PR#467 *) "File does not exist" error message was erroneously including the errno. [Marc Slemko] *) Improve the warning message generated when a client drops the connection (hits stop button, etc.) during a send. [Roy Fielding] *) Defining GPROF will disable profiling in the parent and enable it in the children. If you're profiling under Linux this is pretty much necessary because SIGPROF is lost across a fork(). [Dean Gaudet] *) htdigest and htpasswd needed slight tweaks to work on OS/2 and WIN32. [Brian Havard] *) The NeXT cc (which is gcc hacked up) doesn't appear to support some gcc functionality. Work around it. [Keith Severson ] PR#1613 *) Some linkers complain when .o files contain no functions. [Keith Severson ] PR#1614 *) Some const declarations in mod_imap.c that were added for debugging purposes caused some compilers heartburn without adding any significant value, so they've been removed. [Ken Coar] *) The src/main/*.h header files have had #ifndef wrappers added to insulate them against duplicate calls if they get included through multiple paths (e.g., in .c files as well as other .h files). [Ken Coar] *) The libap routines now have a header file for their prototypes, src/ap/ap.h, to ease their use in non-httpd applications. [Ken Coar] *) mod_autoindex with a plaintext header file would emit the

  *) The bputc() macro was not properly integrated with the chunking

  *) Create LARGE_WRITE_THRESHOLD define which determines how many

     doing a writev() to assemble multiple buffers in one system
     call.  This is critical for modules such as mod_include,
     mod_autoindex, mod_php3 which all use bputc()/bputs() of smaller
     strings in some cases.  The result would be extra effort
     setting up writev(), and in many cases extra effort building
     chunks.  The default is 31, it can be overriden at compile
     time. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Add debugging code to alloc.c.  Defining ALLOC_DEBUG provides a
     rudimentary memory debugger which can be used on live servers with
     low impact -- it sets all allocated and freed memory bytes to 0xa5.
     Defining ALLOC_USE_MALLOC will cause the alloc code to use malloc()
     and free() for each object.  This is far more expensive and should
     only be used for testing with tools such as Electric Fence and
     Purify.  See main/alloc.c for more details.  [Dean Gaudet]

     explicitly lists the ip:port pairs that are to be used for name-vhosts.
     From a given ip:port, regardless what the Host: header is, you can
     only reach the vhosts defined on that ip:port.  The precedence of
     vhosts was reversed to match other precedences in the config --
     the earlier vhosts override the later vhosts.  All vhost matching was
     moved into http_vhost.[ch].  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) CoreDumpDirectory directive directs where the core file is
     written when a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABORT or SIGABRT are
     received.  [Marc Slemko, Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: Support for Atari MINT.
     [Jan Paul Schmidt ]

  *) When booting, apache will now detach itself from stdin, stdout,
     and stderr.  stderr will not be detached until after the config
     files have been read so you will be able to see initial error
     messages.  After that all errors are logged in the error_log.
     This makes it more convenient to start apache via rsh, ssh,
     or crontabs.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#523

  *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
     Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
     source of so many misdirected bug reports.  [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]

  *) send_fb would not detect aborted connections in some situations.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_include would use uninitialized data when parsing certain
     expressions involving && and ||. [Brian Slesinsky] PR#1139

  *) mod_imap should only handle GET methods.  [Jay Bloodworth]

  *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]

  *) mod_autoindex improperly counted &escapes; as more than one
     character in the description.  It also improperly truncated
     descriptions that were exactly the maximum length.
     [Martin Kraemer]

  *) RedirectMatch was not properly escaping the result (PR#1155).  Also
     "RedirectMatch /advertiser/(.*) $1" is now permitted.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_include now uses symbolic names to check for request success
     and return HTTP errors, and correctly handles all types of
     redirections (previously it only did temporary redirect correctly).
     [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]

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

  *) PORT: Support Unisys SVR4, whose uname returns mostly useless data.
     ["Kaufman, Steven E" ]

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

  *) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
     reporting a select error over and over.
     [Rick Franchuk ] PR#1107, 987, 588

  *) Fixed error in proxy_util.c when looping through multiple host IP
     addresses. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#974

  *) If BUFFERED_LOGS is defined then mod_log_config will do atomic
     buffered writes -- that is, it will buffer up to PIPE_BUF (i.e. 4k)
     bytes before writing, but it will never split a log entry across a
     buffer boundary.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: the short_score record has been split into two pieces, one which
     the parent writes on, and one which the child writes on.  As part of
     this change the get_scoreboard_info() function was removed, and
     scoreboard_image was exported.  This change fixes a race condition
     in file based scoreboard systems, and speeds up changes involving the
     scoreboard in earlier 1.3 development.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: New register_other_child() API (see http_main.h) which allows
     modules to register children with the parent for maintenance.  It
     is disabled by defining NO_OTHER_CHILD.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: New piped_log API (see http_log.h) which implements piped logs,
     and will use register_other_child to implement reliable piped logs
     when it is available.  The reliable piped logs part can be disabled
     by defining NO_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS.  At the moment reliable piped
     logs is only available on Unix. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: set_last_modified() broken into set_last_modified(), set_etag(), and
     meets_conditions().  This allows conditional HTTP selection to be
     handled separately from the storing of the header fields, and provides
     the ability for CGIs to set their own ETags for conditional checking.
     [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding]  PR#895

  *) Changes to mod_log_config to allow naming of format strings.
     Format nicknames are defined with "LogFormat fmt nickname", and can
     be used with "LogFormat nickname" and "CustomLog logtarget nickname".
     [Ken Coar]

  *) New module, "mod_speling", which can help find files even when 
     the URL is slightly misspelled. [Martin Kraemer, Alexei Kosut]

  *) API: New function child_terminate() triggers the child process to
     exit, while allowing the child finish what it needs to for the
     current request first.  
     [Doug MacEachern, Alexei Kosut]

  *) Windows now defaults to using full status reports with mod_status.
     [Alexei Kosut] PR #1094

  *) *Really* disable all mod_rewrite operations if the engine is off.
     Some things (like RewriteMaps) were checked/performed even if they
     weren't supposed to be.  [Ken Coar] PR #991

  *) Implement a new timer scheme which eliminates the need to call alarm() all
     the time.  Instead a counter in the scoreboard for each child is used to
     show when the child has made forward progress.  The parent samples this
     counter every scoreboard maintenance cycle, and issues SIGALRM if no
     progress has been made in the timeout period.  This reduces the static
     request best-case syscall count to 22 from 29.  This scheme is only
     used by systems with memory-based scoreboards.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) The proxy now properly handles CONNECT requests which are sent
     to proxy servers when using ProxyRemote.  [Marc Slemko] PR#1024

  *) A script called apachectl has been added to the support 
     directory.  This script allows you to do things such as 
     "apachectl start" and "apachectl restart" from the command
     line.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) Modules and core routines are now put into libraries, which
     simplifies the link line tremendously (among other advantages).
     [Paul Sutton]

  *) Some of the MD5 names defined in Apache have been renamed to have
     an `ap_' prefix to avoid conflicts with routines supplied by
     external libraries.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Removal of mod_auth_msql.c from the distribution. There are many
     other options for databases today. Rather than offer one option,
     offer none at this time. mod_auth_msql and other SQL database
     authentication modules can be found at the Apache Module Registry.
     http://modules.apache.org/ It would be nice to offer a generic
     mod_auth_sql option in the near future.

  *) PORT: BeOS support added [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Configure no longer accepts the -make option, since it creates
     Makefile on the fly based on Makefile.tmpl and Configuration.

  *) Apache now gracefully shuts down when it receives a SIGTERM, instead
     of forcibly killing off all its processes and exiting without
     cleaning up. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) API: A new field in the request_rec, r->mtime, has been added to
     avoid gratuitous parsing of date strings.  It is intended to hold
     the last-modified date of the resource (if applicable).  An
     update_mtime() routine has also been added to advance it if
     appropriate.  [Roy Fielding, Ken Coar]

  *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad permissions,
     deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.  The previous
     behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not be read.
     This change may make some setups with unreadable htaccess files
     stop working.  [Marc Slemko] PR#817

  *) Add aplog_error() providing a mechanism to define levels of
     verbosity to the server error logging. This addition also provides
     the ability to log errors using syslogd. Error logging is configurable
     on a per-server basis using the LogLevel directive. Conversion
     of log_*() in progress. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Further enhance aplog_error() to not log filename, line number, and
     errno information when it isn't applicable. [Ken Coar, Dean Gaudet]

  *) WIN32: Canonicalise filenames under Win32. Short filenames are
     converted to long ones. Backslashes are converted to forward
     slashes. Case is converted to lower. Parts of URLs that do not
     correspond to files are left completely alone. [Ben Laurie]

  *) PORT: 2 new OSs added to the list of ports:
      Encore's UMAX V: Arieh Markel 
      Acorn RISCiX: Stephen Borrill 

  *) Add the server version (SERVER_VERSION macro) to the "server
     configured and running" entry in the error_log.  Also build an
     object file at link-time that contains the current time
     (SERVER_BUILT global const char[]), and include that in the
     message.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Set r->headers_out when sending responses from the proxy.
     This fixes things such as the logging of headers sent from
     the proxy.  [Marc Slemko] PR#659

  *) support/httpd_monitor is no longer distributed because the 
     scoreboard should not be file based if at all possible. Use
     mod_status to see current server snapshot.

  *) (set_file_slot): New function, allowing auth directives to be
     independent of the server root, so the server documents can be
     moved to a different directory or machine more easily.
     [David J. MacKenzie]

  *) If no TransferLog is given explicitly, decline
     to log.  This supports coexistence with other logging modules,
     such as the custom one that UUNET uses. [David J. MacKenzie]

  *) Check for titles in server-parsed HTML files.
     Ignore leading newlines and returns in titles.  The old behavior
     of replacing a newline after  with a space causes the
     title to be misaligned in the listing. [David J. MacKenzie]

  *) Change mod_cern_meta to be configurable on a per-directory basis.
     [David J. MacKenzie]

  *) Add 'Include' directive to allow inclusion of configuration
     files within configuration files. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Proxy errors on connect() are logged to the error_log (nothing
     new); now they include the IP address and port that failed
     (*that's* new).   [Ken Coar, Marc Slemko] PR#352

  *) Various architectures now define USE_MMAP_FILES which causes
     the server to use mmap() for static files.  There are two
     compile-time tunables MMAP_THRESHOLD (minimum number of bytes
     required to use mmap(), default is 0), and MMAP_SEGMENT_SIZE (maximum
     number of bytes written in one cycle from a single mmap()d object,
     default 32768).  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: Added post_read_request API phase which is run right after reading
     the request from a client, or right after an internal redirect.  It is
     useful for modules setting environment variables that depend only on
     the headers/contents of the request.  It does not run during subrequests
     because subrequests inherit pretty much everything from the main
     request. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Added mod_unique_id which is used to generate a unique identifier for
     each hit, available in the environment variable UNIQUE_ID.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) init_modules is now called after the error logs have been opened.  This
     allows modules to emit information messages into the error logs.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
     information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]

  *) PORT: Apache has need for mutexes to serialize its children around
     accept.  In prior versions either fcntl file locking or flock file
     locking were used.  The method is chosen by the definition of
     USE_xxx_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT in conf.h.  xxx is FCNTL for fcntl(),
     and FLOCK for flock().  New options have been added:
	- SYSVSEM to use System V style semaphores
	- PTHREAD to use POSIX threads (appears to work on Solaris only)
	- USLOCK to use IRIX uslock
     Based on timing various techniques, the following changes were made
     to the defaults:
	- Linux 2.x uses flock instead of fcntl
	- Solaris 2.x uses pthreads
	- IRIX uses SysV semaphores -- however multiprocessor IRIX boxes
	    work far faster if you -DUSE_USLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT
     [Dean Gaudet, Pierre-Yves Kerembellec <Pierre-Yves.Kerembellec vtcom.fr>,
     Martijn Koster <m.koster pobox.com>]

  *) PORT: The semantics of accept/select make it very desirable to use
     mutexes to serialize accept when multiple Listens are in use.  But
     in the case where only a single socket is open it is sometimes
     redundant to serialize accept().  Not all unixes do a good job with
     potentially dozens of children blocked on accept() on the same
     socket.  It's now possible to define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT and
     the server will avoid serialization when listening on only one socket,
     and use serialization when listening on multiple sockets.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#467

  *) Configure changes: TestLib replaced by TestCompile, which has
     some additional capability (such as doing a sanity check of
     the compiler and flags selected); the version of Solaris is now
     available via the #define value of SOLARIS2; IRIX n32bit libs
     now supported and selectable by new Configuration Rule: IRIXN32;
     We no longer default to -O2 optimization.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Updated Configure: Configuration now uses AddModule to specify
     module source or binary file location, relative to src directory.
     Modules can be dropped into modules/extra, or in their own 
     directory, and modules can come with a Makefile or Configure can 
     create one.  Modules can add compiler or library information to 
     generated Makefiles. [Paul Sutton]

  *) Source core re-organisation: distributed modules are now in 
     modules/standard. All other source code is in main. OS-specific
     code is in os/{unix,emx,win32} directories. [Paul Sutton]

  *) mod_browser has been removed, since it's replaced by mod_setenvif.
     [Ken Coar]

  *) Fix another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
     happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with
     relative paths.  (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation,
     and mod_include.) [Dean Gaudet]

  *) directory_walk optimization to reduce an O(N*M) loop to O(N+M) where
     N is the number of <Directory> sections, and M is the number of
     components in the filename of an object.

     To achieve this optimization the following config changes were made:
	- Wildcards (* and ?, not the regex forms) in <Directory>s,
	  <Files>s, and <Location>s now treat a slash as a special
	  character.  For example "/home/*/public_html" previously would
	  match "/home/a/andrew/public_html", now it only matches things
	  like "/home/bob/public_html".  This mimics /bin/sh behaviour.
	- It's possible now to use [] wildcarding in <Directory>, <Files>
	  or <Location>.
	- Regex <Directory>s are applied after all non-regex <Directory>s.

    [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix a bug introduced in 1.3a1 directory_walk regarding .htaccess files
     and corrupted paths.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Enhanced and cleaned up the URL rewriting engine of mod_rewrite:
     First the grouped parts of RewriteRule pattern matches (parenthesis!) can
     be accessed now via backreferences $1..$9 in RewriteConds test-against
     strings in addition to RewriteRules subst string. Second the grouped
     parts of RewriteCond pattern matches (parenthesis!) can be accessed now
     via backreferences %1..%9 both in following RewriteCond test-against
     strings and RewriteRules subst string. This provides maximum flexibility
     through the use of backreferences.
     Additionally the rewriting engine was cleaned up by putting common
     code to the new expand_backrefs_inbuffer() function. 
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
     a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second.  Otherwise
     the vhost can't override the main server.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#717

  *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
     a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) ip-based vhosts are stored and queried using a hashing function, which
     has been shown to improve performance on servers with many ip-vhosts.
     Some other changes had to be made to accommodate this:
	- the * address for vhosts now behaves like _default_
	- the matching process now is:
	    - match an ip-vhost directly via hash (possibly matches main
		server)
	    - if that fails, just pretend it matched the main server
	    - if so far only the main server has been matched, perform
		name-based lookups (ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerPath)
		*only on name-based vhosts*
	    - if they fail, look for _default_ vhosts
     [Dean Gaudet, Dave Hankins <dhankins sugarat.net>]

  *) dbmmanage overhaul:
     - merge dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new functionality, remove dbmmanage.new 
     - tie() to AnyDBM_File which will use one of DB_File, NDBM_File or
       GDBM_File (-ldb, -lndbm, -lgdbm) (trying each in that order)
     - provide better seed for rand
     - prompt for password as per getpass(3) (turn off echo, read from
       /dev/tty, etc.)
     - use "newstyle" crypt based on $Config{osname} ($^O)
     - will not add a user if already in database, use new `update' command
       instead
     - added `check' command to check a users' password
     - added `import' command to convert existing password text-files or 
       dbm files exported with `view'
     - more descriptive usage, general cleanup, 'use strict' clean, etc.
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Added psocket() which is a pool form of socket(), various places within
     the proxy weren't properly blocking alarms while registering the cleanup
     for its sockets.  bclose() now uses pclose() and pclosesocket().  There
     was a bug where the client socket was being close()d twice due a still
     registered cleanup.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) A few cleanups were made to reduce time(), getpid(), and signal() calls.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: AIX >= 4.2 requires -lm due to libc changes.
     [Jason Venner <jason idiom.com>] PR#667

  *) Enable ``=""'' for RewriteCond directives to match against
     the empty string. This is the preferred way instead of ``^$''.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#748

  *) mod_proxy now has a ReceiveBufferSize directive, similar to
     SendBufferSize, so that the TCP window can be set appropriately
     for LFNs. [Phillip A. Prindeville]

  *) mod_browser has been replaced by the more general mod_setenvif
     (courtesy of Paul Sutton).  BrowserMatch* directives are still
     available, but are now joined by SetEnvIf*, UnSetEnvIf*, and
     UnSetEnvIfZero directives.  [Ken Coar]

  *) "HostnameLookups double" forces double-reverse DNS to succeed in
     order for remote_host to be set (for logging, or for the env var
     REMOTE_HOST).  The old define MAXIMUM_DNS has been deprecated.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_access overhaul:
     - Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e.  10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
	and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16).  PR#762
     - Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config
	time.
     - The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
	the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
     - When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
	no matter what the directory settings are.  This double-reverse
	doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
	hostname.  In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
	without the double-reverse check.  Related PR#860.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) When a large bwrite() occurs (larger than the internal buffer size),
     while there is already something in the buffer, apache will combine
     the large write and the buffer into a single writev().  (This is
     in anticipation of using mmap() for reading files.)
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) In obscure cases where a partial socket write occurred while chunking,
     Apache would omit the chunk header/footer on the next block.  Cleaned
     up other bugs/inconsistencies in error conditions in buff.c.  Fixed
     a bug where a long pause in DNS lookups could cause the last packet
     of a response to be unduly delayed.  [Roy Fielding, Dean Gaudet]

  *) API: Added child_exit function to module structure.  This is called
     once per "heavy-weight process" just before a server child exit()'s 
     e.g. when max_requests_per_child is reached, etc.
     [Doug MacEachern, Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
     endif.  It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
     [Howard Fear]

  *) mod_cern_meta would attempt to find meta files for the directory itself
     in some cases, but not in others.  It now avoids it in all cases.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_mime_magic would core dump if there was a decompression error.
     [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>] PR#904

  *) PORT: some variants of DGUX require -lsocket -lnsl
     [Alexander L Jones <alex systems-options.co.uk>] PR#732

  *) mod_autoindex now allows sorting of FancyIndexed directory listings
     by the various fields (name, size, et cetera), either in ascending
     or descending order.  Just click on the column header.  [Ken Coar]

  *) PORT: Various tweaks to eliminate pointer-int casting warnings on 64-bit
     CPUs like the Alpha.  Apache still stores ints in pointers, but that's
     the relatively safe direction.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#344

  *) PORT: QNX mmap() support for faster/more reliable scoreboard handling.
     [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>] PR#683

  *) child_main avoids an unneeded call to select() when there is only one
     listening socket.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) In the event that the server is starved for idle servers it will
     spawn 1, then 2, then 4, ..., then 32 servers each second,
     doubling each second.  It'll also give a warning in the errorlog
     since the most common reason for this is a poor StartServers
     setting.  The define MAX_SPAWN_RATE can be used to raise/lower
     the maximum.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Apache now provides an effectively unbuffered connection for
     CGI scripts.  This means that data will be sent to the client
     as soon as the CGI pauses or stops output; previously, Apache would
     buffer the output up to a fixed buffer size before sending, which
     could result in the user viewing an empty page until the CGI finished
     or output a complete buffer.  It is no longer necessary to use an
     "nph-" CGI to get unbuffered output.  Given that most CGIs are written
     in a language that by default does buffering (e.g. perl) this
     shouldn't have a detrimental effect on performance.

     "nph-" CGIs, which formerly provided a direct socket to the client
     without any server post-processing, were not fully compatible with
     HTTP/1.1 or SSL support.  As such they would have had to implement
     the transport details, such as encryption or chunking, in order
     to work properly in certain situations.  Now, the only difference
     between nph and non-nph scripts is "non-parsed headers".
     [Dean Gaudet, Sameer Parekh, Roy Fielding]

  *) If a BUFF is switched from buffered to unbuffered reading the first
     bread() will return whatever remained in the buffer prior to the
     switch. [Dean Gaudet]

Changes with Apache 1.3a1

  *) Added another Configure helper script: TestLib. It determines
     if a specified library exists.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) PORT: Allow for use of n32bit libraries under IRIX 6.x
     [derived from patch from Jeff Hayes <jhayes aw.sgi.com>]
     PR#721

  *) PORT: Some architectures use size_t for various lengths in network
     functions such as accept(), and getsockname().  The definition
     NET_SIZE_T is used to control this. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: Linux: Attempt to detect glibc based systems and include crypt.h
     and -lcrypt.  Test for various db libraries (dbm, ndbm, db) when
     mod_auth_dbm or mod_auth_db are included.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) PORT: QNX doesn't have initgroups() which support/suexec.c uses.
     [Igor N Kovalenko <infoh mail.wplus.net>]

  *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
     begin with.  "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients.  Added
     "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
     [Dean Gaudet] related PR#875

  *) API: Correct child_init() slot declaration from int to void, to
     match the init() declaration.  Update mod_example to use the new
     hook.  [Ken Coar]

  *) added transport handle slot (t_handle) to the BUFF structure
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is
     REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
     [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815

  *) Support the image map format of FrontPage.  For example:
        rect /url.hrm 10 20 30 40
     ["Chris O'Byrne" <obyrne iol.ie>] PR#807

  *) PORT: -lresolv and -lsocks were in the wrong order for Solaris.
     ["Darren O'Shaughnessy" <darren aaii.oz.au>] PR#846

  *) AddModuleInfo directive for mod_info which allows you to annotate
     the output of mod_info.  ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]

  *) Added NoProxy directive to avoid using ProxyRemote for selected
     addresses.  Added ProxyDomain directive to cause unqualified
     names to be qualified by redirection.
     [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer mch.sni.de>]

  *) Support Proxy Authentication, and don't pass the Proxy-Authorize
     header to the remote host in the proxy. [Sameer Parekh and
     Wallace]

  *) Upgraded mod_rewrite from 3.0.6+ to latest officially available version
     3.0.9. This upgrade includes: fixed deadlooping on rewriting to same
     URLs, fixed rewritelog(), fixed forced response code handling on
     redirects from within .htaccess files, disabled pipe locking under
     braindead SunOS 4.1.x, allow env variables to be set even on rules with
     no substitution, bugfixed situations where HostnameLookups is off, made
     mod_rewrite more thread-safe for NT port and fixed problem when creating
     an empty query string via "xxx?".
         This update also removes the copyright of Ralf S. Engelschall,
     i.e. now mod_rewrite no longer has a shared copyright. Instead is is
     exclusively copyrighted by the Apache Group now. This happened because
     the author now has gifted mod_rewrite exclusively to the Apache Group and 
     no longer maintains an external version.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) API: Added child_init function to module structure.  This is called
     once per "heavy-weight process" before any requests are handled.
     See http_config.h for more details.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, 868

  *) API: Added is_initial_req() which tests if the request being
     processed is the initial request, or a subrequest.
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Extended SSI (mod_include) now handles additional relops for
     string comparisons (<, >, <=, and >=).  [Bruno Wolff III] PR#41

  *) Configure fixed to correctly propagate user-selected options and
     settings (such as CC and OPTIM) to Makefiles other than
     src/Makefile (notably support/Makefile).  [Ken Coar] PR#666, #834

  *) IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble now causes the actual HTML of
     directory indices to start with the contents of the HeaderName file
     if there is one.  If there isn't one, the behaviour is unchanged.
     [Ken Coar, Roy Fielding, Andrey A. Chernov]

  *) WIN32: Modules can now be dynamically loaded DLLs using the
     LoadModule/LoadFile directives. Note that module DLLs must be
     compiled with the multithreaded DLL version of the runtime library.
     [Alexei Kosut and Ben Laurie]

  *) Automatic indexing removed from mod_dir and placed into mod_autoindex.
     This allows the admin to completely remove automatic indexing
     from the server, while still supporting the basic functions of
     trailing-slash redirects and DirectoryIndex files.  Note that if
     you're carrying over an old Configuration file and you use directory
     indexing then you'll want to add:

     Module autoindex_module    mod_autoindex.o

     before mod_dir in your Configuration.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) popendir/pclosedir created to properly protect directory scanning.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#525

  *) AliasMatch, ScriptAliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives added,
     giving regex support to mod_alias. <DirectoryMatch>, <LocationMatch>
     and <FilesMatch> sections added to succeed <DirectoryMatch ~>, etc...
     [Alexei Kosut]

  *) The AccessFileName directive can now take more than one filename.
     ["Lou D. Langholtz" <ldl usi.utah.edu>]

  *) The new mod_mime_magic can be used to "magically" determine the type
     of a file if the extension is unknown.  Based on the unix file(1)
     command.  [Ian Kluft <ikluft cisco.com>]

  *) We now determine and display the time spent processing a
     request if desired.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_status: PID field of "dead" child slots no longer displays
     main httpd process's PID.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Makefile.nt added - to build all the bits from the command line:
        nmake -f Makefile.nt
         Doesn't yet work properly. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Default text of 404 error is now "Not Found" rather than the
     potentially misleading "File Not Found".  [Ken Coar]

  *) CONFIG: "HostnameLookups" now defaults to off because it is far better
     for the net if we require people that actually need this data to
     enable it.  [Linus Torvalds]

  *) directory_walk() is an expensive function, keep a little more state to
     avoid needless string counting.  Add two new functions make_dirstr_parent
     and make_dirstr_prefix which replace all existing uses of make_dirstr.
     The new functions are a little less general than make_dirstr, but
     work more efficiently (less memory, less string counting).
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) EXTRA_LFLAGS was changed to EXTRA_LDFLAGS (and LFLAGS was changed
     to LDFLAGS) to avoid complications with lex rules in make files.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#372

  *) run_method optimized to avoid needless scanning over NULLs in the
     module list.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Revamp of (unix) scoreboard management code such that it avoids
     unnecessary traversals of the scoreboard on each hit.  This is
     particularly important for high volume sites with a large
     HARD_SERVER_LIMIT.  Some of the previous operations were O(n^2),
     and are now O(n).  See also SCOREBOARD_MAINTENANCE_INTERVAL in
     httpd.h. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) In configurations using multiple Listen statements it was possible for
     busy sockets to starve other sockets of service.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Added hook so standalone_main can be replaced at compile time
     (define STANDALONE_MAIN)
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Lowest-level read/write functions in buff.c will be replaced with
     the SFIO library calls sfread/sfwrite if B_SFIO is defined at
     compile time.  The default sfio discipline will behave as apache
     would without sfio compiled in.
     [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Enhance UserDir directive (mod_userdir) to accept a list of
     usernames for the 'disable' keyword, and add 'enable user...' to
     selectively *en*able userdirs if they're globally disabled.
     [Ken Coar]

  *) If NETSCAPE_DBM_COMPAT is defined in EXTRA_CFLAGS then Apache
     will work with Netscape dbm files.  (dbmmanage will probably not
     work however.) [Alexander Spohr <aspohr netmatic.com>] PR#444

  *) Add a ListenBacklog directive to control the backlog parameter
     passed to listen().  Also change the default to 511 from 512.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) API: A new handler response DONE which informs apache that the
     request has been handled and it can finish off quickly, similar to
     how it handles errors. [Rob Hartill]

  *) Turn off chunked encoding after sending terminating chunk/footer
     so that we can't do it twice by accident. [Roy Fielding]

  *) mod_expire also issues Cache-Control: max-age headers.
     [Rob Hartill]

  *) API: Added kill_only_once option for free_proc_chain so that it won't
     aggressively try to kill off specific children.  For fastcgi.
     [Stanley Gambarin <gambarin OpenMarket.com>]

  *) mod_auth deals with extra ':' delimited fields.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) Added IconHeight and IconWidth to mod_dir's IndexOptions directive.
     When used together, these cause mod_dir to emit HEIGHT and WIDTH
     attributes in the FancyIndexing IMG tags.  [Ken Coar]

  *) PORT: Sequent and SONY NEWS-OS support added.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) PORT: Added Windows NT support
     [Ben Laurie and Ambarish Malpani <ambarish valicert.com>]

Changes with Apache 1.2.6

  *) mod_include when using XBitHack Full would send ETags in addition to
     sending Last-Modifieds.  This is incorrect HTTP/1.1 behaviour.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#1133

  *) SECURITY: When a client connects to a particular port/addr, and
     gives a Host: header ensure that the virtual host requested can
     actually be reached via that port/addr.  [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]

  *) Support virtual hosts with wildcard port and/or multiple ports
     properly.  [Ed Korthof <ed organic.com>]

  *) Fixed some case-sensitivity issues according to RFC2068.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Set r->allowed properly in mod_asis.c, mod_dir.c, mod_info.c,
     and mod_include.c.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Variable 'cwd' was being used pointlessly before being set.
     [Ken Coar] PR#1738

  *) SIGURG doesn't exist on all platforms.
     [Mark Andrew Heinrich <heinrich tinderbox.Stanford.EDU>]

  *) When an error occurs during a POST, or other operation with a
     request body, the body has to be read from the net before allowing
     a keepalive session to continue.  [Roy Fielding] PR#1399

  *) When an error occurs in fcntl() locking suggest the user look up
     the docs for LockFile.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) table_set() and table_unset() did not deal correctly with
     multiple occurrences of the same key. [Stephen Scheck
     <sscheck infonex.net>, Ben Laurie] PR#1604

  *) send_fd_length() did not calculate total_bytes_sent properly in error
     cases.  [Ben Reser <breser regnow.com>] PR#1366

  *) r->connection->user was allocated in the wrong pool causing corruption
     in some cases when used with mod_cern_meta.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#1500

  *) mod_proxy was sending HTTP/1.1 responses to ftp requests by mistake.
     Also removed the auto-generated link to www.apache.org that was the
     source of so many misdirected bug reports.  [Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]

  *) Multiple "close" tokens may have been set in the "Connection"
     header, not an error, but a waste.
     [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1683

  *) "basic" and "digest" auth tokens should be tested case-insensitive.
     [<Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>] PR#1599, PR#1666

  *) It appears the "257th byte" bug (see
     htdocs/manual/misc/known_client_problems.html#257th-byte) can happen
     at the 256th byte as well.  Fixed.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_rewrite would not handle %3f properly in some situations.
     [Ralf Engelschall]

  *) Apache could generate improperly chunked HTTP/1.1 responses when
     the bputc() or rputc() functions were used by modules (such as
     mod_include).  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) #ifdef wrap a few #defines in httpd.h to make life easier on
     some ports.  [Ralf Engelschall]

  *) Fix MPE compilation error in mod_usertrack.c.  [Mark Bixby]

  *) Quote CC='$(CC)' to improve recurse make calls.  [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Avoid B_ERROR redeclaration on sysvr4 systems.  [Martin Kraemer]

Changes with Apache 1.2.5

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

  *) Fix an improper length in an ap_snprintf call in proxy_date_canon().
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fix core dump in the ftp proxy when reading incorrectly formatted
     directory listings.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) SECURITY: Fix possible minor buffer overflow in the proxy cache.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) SECURITY: Eliminate possible buffer overflow in cfg_getline, which
     is used to read various types of files such as htaccess and 
     htpasswd files.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) SECURITY: Ensure that the buffer returned by ht_time is always
     properly null terminated.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) SECURITY: General mod_include cleanup, including fixing several
     possible buffer overflows and a possible infinite loop.  This cleanup
     was done against 1.3 code and then backported to 1.2, the result
     is a large difference (due to indentation cleanup in 1.3 code).
     Users interested in seeing a smaller set of relevant differences
     should consider comparing against src/modules/standard/mod_include.c
     from the 1.3b3 release.  Non-indentation changes to mod_include
     between 1.2 and 1.3 were minimal.  [Dean Gaudet, Marc Slemko]

  *) SECURITY: Numerous changes to mod_imap in a general cleanup
     including fixing a possible buffer overflow.  This cleanup also
     was done with 1.3 code as a basis, see the the previous note
     about mod_include.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SECURITY: If a htaccess file can not be read due to bad 
     permissions, deny access to the directory with a HTTP_FORBIDDEN.  
     The previous behavior was to ignore the htaccess file if it could not
     be read.  This change may make some setups with unreadable
     htaccess files stop working.  [Marc Slemko]  PR#817

  *) SECURITY: no2slash() was O(n^2) in the length of the input.  
     Make it O(n).  This inefficiency could be used to mount a denial 
     of service attack against the Apache server.  Thanks to 
     Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf boss.staszic.waw.pl> for reporting
     this.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) mod_include used uninitialized data for some uses of && and ||.
     [Brian Slesinsky <bslesins wired.com>] PR#1139

  *) mod_imap should decline all non-GET methods.
     [Jay Bloodworth <jay pathways.sde.state.sc.us>]

  *) suexec.c wouldn't build without -DLOG_EXEC. [Jason A. Dour]

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

  *) mod_include did not properly handle all possible redirects from sub-
     requests.  [Ken Coar]

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

  *) Work around problem under Linux where a child will start looping
     reporting a select error over and over.
     [Rick Franchuk <rickf transpect.net>] PR#1107

Changes with Apache 1.2.4

  *) The ProxyRemote change in 1.2.3 introduced a bug resulting in the proxy
     always making requests with the full-URI instead of just the URI path.
     [Marc Slemko, Roy Fielding]

  *) Add -lm for AIX versions >= 4.2 to allow Apache to link properly
     on this platform.  [Marc Slemko]

Changes with Apache 1.2.3

  *) The request to a remote proxy was mangled if it was generated as the
     result of a ProxyPass directive. URL schemes other than http:// were not
     supported when ProxyRemote was used. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#260, PR#656,
     PR#699, PR#713, PR#812

  *) Fixed proxy-pass-through feature of mod_rewrite; Added error logging
     information for case where proxy module is not available. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Force proxy to always respond as HTTP/1.0, which it was failing to
     do for errors and cached responses.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) PORT: Improved support for ConvexOS 11.  [Jeff Venters]

Changes with Apache 1.2.2 [not released]

  *) Fixed another long-standing bug in sub_req_lookup_file where it would
     happily skip past access checks on subdirectories looked up with relative
     paths.  (It's used by mod_dir, mod_negotiation, and mod_include.)
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Add lockfile name to error message printed out when
     USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) Enhanced the chunking and error handling inside the buffer functions.
     [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding]

  *) When merging the main server's <Directory> and <Location> sections into
     a vhost, put the main server's first and the vhost's second.  Otherwise
     the vhost can't override the main server.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#717

  *) The <Directory> code would merge and re-merge the same section after
     a match was found, possibly causing problems with some modules.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed an infinite loop in mod_imap for references above the server root.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#748

  *) mod_include cleanup showed that handle_else was being used to handle
     endif.  It didn't cause problems, but it was cleaned up too.
     [Howard Fear]

  *) Last official synchronization of mod_rewrite with author version (because
     mod_rewrite is now directly developed by the author at the Apache Group):
     o added diff between mod_rewrite 3.0.6+ and 3.0.9
       minus WIN32/NT stuff, but plus copyright removement.
       In detail:
       - workaround for detecting infinite rewriting loops
       - fixed setting of env vars when "-" is used as subst string
       - fixed forced response code on redirects (PR#777)
       - fixed cases where r->args is ""
       - kludge to disable locking on pipes under braindead SunOS
       - fix for rewritelog in cases where remote hostname is unknown
       - fixed totally damaged request_rec walk-back loop
     o remove static from local data and add static to global ones.
     o replaced ugly proxy finding stuff by simple
       find_linked_module("mod_proxy") call.
     o added missing negation char on rewritelog()
     o fixed a few comment typos
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Anonymous_LogEmail was logging on each subrequest.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#421, PR#868

  *) "force-response-1.0" now only applies to requests which are HTTP/1.0 to
     begin with.  "nokeepalive" now works for HTTP/1.1 clients.  Added
     "downgrade-1.0" which causes Apache to pretend it received a 1.0.
     Additionally mod_browser now triggers during translate_name to workaround
     a deficiency in the header_parse phase.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#875

  *) get_client_block() returns wrong length if policy is 
     REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK.
     [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#815

  *) Properly treat <files> container like other containers in mod_info.
     [Marc Slemko] PR#848

  *) The proxy didn't treat the "Host:" keyword of the host header as case-
     insensitive.  The proxy would corrupt the first line of a response from
     an HTTP/0.9 server.  [Kenichi Hori <ken d2.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>] PR#813,814

  *) mod_include would log some bogus values occasionally.
     [Skip Montanaro <skip calendar.com>, Marc Slemko] PR#797

  *) PORT: The slack fd changes in 1.2.1 introduced a problem with SIGHUP
     under Solaris 2.x (up through 2.5.1).  It has been fixed.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#832

  *) API: In HTTP/1.1, whether or not a request message contains a body
     is independent of the request method and based solely on the presence
     of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding.  Therefore, our default
     handlers need to be prepared to read a body even if they don't know
     what to do with it; otherwise, the body would be mistaken for the
     next request on a persistent connection.  discard_request_body()
     has been added to take care of that.  [Roy Fielding] PR#378

  *) API: Symbol APACHE_RELEASE provides a numeric form of the Apache
     release version number, such that it always increases along the
     same lines as our source code branching.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Minor oversight on multiple variants fixed.  [Paul Sutton] PR#94

Changes with Apache 1.2.1

  *) SECURITY: Don't serve file system objects unless they are plain files,
     symlinks, or directories.  This prevents local users from using pipes
     or named sockets to invoke programs for an extremely crude form of
     CGI.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SECURITY: HeaderName and ReadmeName were settable in .htaccess and
     could contain "../" allowing a local user to "publish" any file on
     the system.  No slashes are allowed now.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SECURITY: It was possible to violate the symlink Options using mod_dir
     (headers, readmes, titles), mod_negotiation (type maps), or
     mod_cern_meta (meta files).  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) SECURITY: Apache will refuse to run as "User root" unless
     BIG_SECURITY_HOLE is defined at compile time.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) CONFIG: If a symlink pointed to a directory then it would be disallowed
     if it contained a .htaccess disallowing symlinks.  This is contrary
     to the rule that symlink permissions are tested with the symlink
     options of the parent directory.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#353

  *) CONFIG: The LockFile directive can be used to place the serializing
     lockfile in any location.  It previously defaulted to /usr/tmp/htlock.
     [Somehow it took four of us: Randy Terbush, Jim Jagielski, Dean Gaudet,
     Marc Slemko]

  *) Request processing now retains state of whether or not the request
     body has been read, so that internal redirects and subrequests will
     not try to read it twice (and block). [Roy Fielding]

  *) Add a placeholder in modules/Makefile to avoid errors with certain
     makes. [Marc Slemko]

  *) QUERY_STRING was unescaped in mod_include, it shouldn't be.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#644

  *) mod_include was not properly changing the current directory.
     [Marc Slemko] PR#742

  *) Attempt to work around problems with third party libraries that do not
     handle high numbered descriptors (examples include bind, and
     solaris libc).  On all systems apache attempts to keep all permanent
     descriptors above 15 (called the low slack line).  Solaris users
     can also benefit from adding -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 to EXTRA_CFLAGS
     which keeps all non-FILE * descriptors above 255.  On all systems
     this should make supporting large numbers of vhosts with many open
     log files more feasible.  If this causes trouble please report it,
     you can disable this workaround by adding -DNO_SLACK to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
     [Dean Gaudet] various PRs

  *) Related to the last entry, network sockets are now opened before
     log files are opened.  The only known case where this can cause
     problems is under Solaris with many virtualhosts and many Listen
     directives.  But using -DHIGH_SLACK_LINE=256 described above will
     work around this problem.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is now default for FreeBSD, A/UX, and
     SunOS 4.

  *) Improved unix error response logging.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) Update mod_rewrite from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6.  New ruleflag
     QSA=query_string_append.  Also fixed a nasty bug in per-dir context:
     when a URL http://... was used in conjunction with a special
     redirect flag, e.g. R=permanent, the permanent status was lost.
     [Ronald Tschalaer <Ronald.Tschalaer psi.ch>, Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) If an object has multiple variants that are otherwise equal Apache
     would prefer the last listed variant rather than the first.

Changes with Apache 1.2

Changes with Apache 1.2b11

  *) Fixed open timestamp fd in proxy_cache.c [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Added undocumented perl SSI mechanism for -DUSE_PERL_SSI and mod_perl.
     [Doug MacEachern, Rob Hartill]

  *) Proxy needs to use hard_timeout instead of soft_timeout when it is
     reading from one buffer and writing to another, at least until it has
     a custom timeout handler.  [Roy Fielding and Petr Lampa]

  *) Fixed problem on IRIX with servers hanging in IdentityCheck,
     apparently due to a mismatch between sigaction and setjmp.
     [Roy Fielding] PR#502

  *) Log correct status code if we timeout before receiving a request (408)
     or if we received a request-line that was too long to process (414).
     [Ed Korthof and Roy Fielding] PR#601

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

  *) Added code to return the requested IP address from proxy_host2addr()
     if gethostbyaddr() fails due to reverse DNS lookup problems. Original
     change submitted by Jozsef Hollosi <hollosi sbcm.com>.
     [Chuck Murcko] PR#614

  *) If multiple requests on a single connection are used to retrieve
     data from different virtual hosts, the virtual host list would be
     scanned starting with the most recently used VH instead of the first,
     causing most virtual hosts to be ignored.
     [Paul Sutton and Martin Mares] PR#610

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

  *) Inherit virtual server port from main server if none (or "*") is
     given for VirtualHost.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#576

  *) If the lookup for a DirectoryIndex name with content negotiation
     has found matching variants, but none are acceptable, return the
     negotiation result if there are no more DirectoryIndex names to lookup.
     [Petr Lampa and Roy Fielding]

  *) If a soft_timeout occurs after keepalive is set, then the main child
     loop would try to read another request even though the connection
     has been aborted.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Configure changes: Allow for whitespace at the start of a
     Module declaration. Also, be more understanding about the
     CC=/OPTIM= format in Configuration. Finally, fix compiler
     flags if using HP-UX's cc compiler. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Subrequests and internal redirects now inherit the_request from the
     original request-line. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Test for error conditions before creating output header fields, since
     we don't want the error message to include those fields.  Likewise,
     reset the content_language(s) and content_encoding of the response
     before generating or redirecting to an error message, since the new
     message will have its own Content-* definitions. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Restored the semantics of headers_out (headers sent only with 200..299
     and 304 responses) and err_headers_out (headers sent with all responses).
     Avoid the overhead of copying tables if err_headers_out is empty
     (the usual case).  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Fixed a couple places where a check for the default Content-Type was
     not properly checking both the value configured by the DefaultType
     directive and the DEFAULT_TYPE symbol in httpd.h.  Changed the value
     of DEFAULT_TYPE to match the documented default (text/plain).
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#506

  *) Escape the HTML-sensitive characters in the Request-URI that is
     output for each child by mod_status. [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar] PR#501

  *) Properly initialize the flock structures used by the mutex locking
     around accept() when USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT is defined.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) The method for determining PATH_INFO has been restored to the pre-1.2b
     (and NCSA httpd) definition wherein it was the extra path info beyond
     the CGI script filename.  The environment variable FILEPATH_INFO has
     been removed, and instead we supply the original REQUEST_URI to any
     script that wants to be Apache-specific and needs the real URI path.
     This solves a problem with existing scripts that use extra path info
     in the ScriptAlias directive to pass options to the CGI script.
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) The _default_ change in 1.2b10 will change the behaviour on configs
     that use multiple Listen statements for listening on multiple ports.
     But that change is necessary to make _default_ consistent with other
     forms of <VirtualHost>.  It requires such configs to be modified
     to use <VirtualHost _default_:*>.  The documentation has been
     updated.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#530

  *) If an ErrorDocument CGI script is used to respond to an error
     generated by another CGI script which has already read the message
     body of the request, the server would block trying to read the
     message body again.  [Rob Hartill]

  *) signal() replacement conflicted with a define on QNX (and potentially
     other platforms). Fixed. [Ben Laurie] PR#512

Changes with Apache 1.2b10

  *) Allow HTTPD_ROOT, SERVER_CONFIG_FILE, DEFAULT_PATH, and SHELL_PATH
     to be configured via -D in Configuration.  [Dean Gaudet] PR#449

  *) <VirtualHost _default_:portnum> didn't work properly.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Added prototype for mktemp() for SUNOS4 [Marc Slemko]

  *) In mod_proxy.c, check return values for proxy_host2addr() when reading
     config, in case the hostent struct returned is trash.
     [Chuck Murcko] PR #491

  *) Fixed the fix in 1.2b9 for parsing URL query info into args for CGI
     scripts.  [Dean Gaudet, Roy Fielding, Marc Slemko]

Changes with Apache 1.2b9  [never announced]

  *) Reset the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER to account for the unsigned port
     changes and in anticipation of 1.2 final release.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Fix problem with scripts not receiving a SIGPIPE when client drops
     the connection (e.g., when user presses Stop).  Apache will now stop
     trying to send a message body immediately after an error from write.
     [Roy Fielding and Nathan Kurz] PR#335

  *) Rearrange Configuration.tmpl so that mod_rewrite has higher priority
     than mod_alias, and mod_alias has higher priority than mod_proxy;
     rearranged other modules to enhance understanding of their purpose
     and relative order (and maybe even reduce some overhead).
     [Roy Fielding and Sameer Parekh]

  *) Fix graceful restart.  Eliminate many signal-related race
     conditions in both forms of restart, and in SIGTERM.  See
     htdocs/manual/stopping.html for details on stopping and
     restarting the parent.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix memory leaks in mod_rewrite, mod_browser, mod_include.  Tune
     memory allocator to avoid a behaviour that required extra blocks to
     be allocated.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Allow suexec to access files relative to current directory but not
     above.  (Excluding leading / or any .. directory.)  [Ken Coar]
     PR#269, 319, 395

  *) Fix suexec segfault when group doesn't exist. [Gregory Neil Shapiro]
     PR#367, 368, 354, 453

  *) Fix the above fix: if suexec is enabled, avoid destroying r->url
     while obtaining the /~user and save the username in a separate data
     area so that it won't be overwritten by the call to getgrgid(), and
     fix some misuse of the pool string allocation functions.  Also fixes
     a general problem with parsing URL query info into args for CGI scripts.
     [Roy Fielding] PR#339, 367, 354, 453

  *) Fix IRIX warning about bzero undefined. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fix problem with <Directory proxy:...>. [Martin Kraemer] PR#271

  *) Corrected spelling of "authoritative".  AuthDBAuthoratative became
     AuthDBAuthoritative. [Marc Slemko] PR#420

  *) MaxClients should be at least 1. [Lars Eilebrecht] PR#375

  *) The default handler now logs invalid methods or URIs (i.e. PUT on an
     object that can't be PUT, or FOOBAR for some method FOOBAR that
     apache doesn't know about at all).  Log 404s that occur in mod_include.
     [Paul Sutton, John Van Essen]

  *) If a soft timeout (or lingerout) occurs while trying to flush a
     buffer or write inside buff.c or fread'ing from a CGI's output,
     then the timeout would be ignored. [Roy Fielding] PR#373

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

  *) Fixed SIGSEGV problem when a DirectoryIndex file is also the source
     of an external redirection.  [Roy Fielding and Paul Sutton]

  *) Configure would create a broken Makefile if the configuration file
     contained a commented-out Rule.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Promote per_dir_config and subprocess_env from the subrequest to the
     main request in mod_negotiation.  In particular this fixes a bug
     where <Files> sections wouldn't properly apply to negotiated content.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix a potential deadlock in mod_cgi script_err handling.
     [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) rotatelogs zero-pads the logfile names to improve alphabetic sorting.
     [Mitchell Blank Jr]

  *) Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.4: Fixes HTTP redirects from within
     .htaccess files because the RewriteBase was not replaced correctly.
     Updated mod_rewrite to 3.0.5: Fixes problem with rewriting inside
     <Directory> sections missing a trailing /.  [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) Clean up Linux settings in conf.h by detecting 2.x versus 1.x.  For
     1.x the settings are those of pre-1.2b8.  For 2.x we include
     USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD (scoreboard in shared memory rather than file) and
     HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H (enable the RLimit commands).
     [Dean Gaudet] PR#336, PR#340

  *) Redirect did not preserve ?query_strings when present in the client's
     request.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Configure was finding non-modules on EXTRA_LIBS. [Frank Cringle] PR#380

  *) Use /bin/sh5 on ULTRIX.  [P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia] PR#369

  *) Add UnixWare compile/install instructions.  [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Add mod_example (illustration of API techniques).  [Ken Coar]

  *) Add macro for memmove to conf.h for SUNOS4. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Improve handling of directories when filenames have spaces in them.
     [Chuck Murcko]

  *) For hosts with multiple IP addresses, try all additional addresses if
     necessary to get a connect. Fail only if hostent address list is
     exhausted. [Chuck Murcko]

  *) More signed/unsigned port fixes.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) HARD_SERVER_LIMIT can be defined in the Configuration file now.
     [Dean Gaudet]

Changes with Apache 1.2b8

  *) suexec.c doesn't close the log file, allowing CGIs to continue writing
     to it.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) The addition of <Location> and <File> directives made the
     sub_req_lookup_simple() function bogus, so we now handle
     the special cases directly.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) We now try to log where the server is dumping core when a fatal
     signal is received.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Improved lingering_close by adding a special timeout, removing the
     spurious log messages, removing the nonblocking settings (they
     are not needed with the better timeout), and adding commentary
     about the NO_LINGCLOSE and USE_SO_LINGER issues.  NO_LINGCLOSE is
     now the default for SunOS4, UnixWare, NeXT, and IRIX.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Send error messages about setsockopt failures to the server error
     log instead of stderr.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Fix loopholes in proxy cache expiry vis a vis alarms. [Brian Moore]

  *) Stopgap solution for CGI 3-second delay with server-side includes: if
     processing a subrequest, allocate memory from r->main->pool instead
     of r->pool so that we can avoid waiting for free_proc_chain to cleanup
     in the middle of an SSI request.  [Dean Gaudet] PR #122

  *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistent URL
     (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a
     full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting
     as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403).  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Host port changed to unsigned short. [Ken Coar] PR #276

  *) Fix typo in command definition of AuthAuthoritative. [Ken Coar] PR #246

  *) Defined USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD for shared memory on Linux.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Report extra info from errno with many errors that cause httpd to exit.
     spawn_child, popenf, and pclosef now have valid errno returns in the
     event of an error.  Correct problems where errno was stomped on
     before being reported.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) In the proxy, if the cache filesystem was full, garbage_coll() was
     never called, and thus the filesystem would remain full indefinitely.
     We now also remove incomplete cache files left if the origin server
     didn't send a Content-Length header and either the client has aborted
     transfer or bwrite() to client has failed. [Petr Lampa]

  *) Fixed the handling of module and script-added header fields.
     Improved the interface for sending header fields and reduced
     the duplication of code between sending okay responses and errors.
     We now always send both headers_out and err_headers_out, and
     ensure that the server-reserved fields are not being overridden,
     while not overriding those that are not reserved.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Moved transparent content negotiation fields to err_headers_out
     to reflect above changes.  [Petr Lampa]

  *) Fixed the determination of whether or not we should make the
     connection persistent for all of the cases where some other part
     of the server has already indicated that we should not.  Also
     improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will
     be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive
     is enabled. Added persistent connection capability for most error
     responses (those that do not indicate a bad input stream) when
     accessed by an HTTP/1.1 client. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses,
     and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have
     resulted in a process being stuck in write forever.  Using soft_timeout
     requires that the sender check for an aborted connection rather than
     continuing after an EINTR.  Timeouts that used to be initiated before
     send_http_header (and never killed) are now initiated only within or
     around the routines that actually do the sending, and not allowed to
     propagate above the caller.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) mod_auth_anon required an @ or a . in the email address, not both.
     [Dirk vanGulik]

  *) per_dir_defaults weren't set correctly until directory_walk for
     name-based vhosts.  This fixes an obscure bug with the wrong config
     info being used for vhosts that share the same ip as the server.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Improved generation of modules/Makefile to be more generic for
     new module directories. [Ken Coar, Chuck Murcko, Roy Fielding]

  *) Generate makefile dependency for Configuration based on the actual
     name given when running the Configure process.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed problem with vhost error log not being set prior to
     initializing virtual hosts. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed infinite loop when a trailing slash is included after a type map
     file URL (extra path info). [Petr Lampa]

  *) Fixed server status updating of per-connection counters. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Add documentation for DNS issues (reliability and security), and try
     to explain the virtual host matching process.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Try to continue gracefully by disabling the vhost if a DNS lookup
     fails while parsing the configuration file.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Improved calls to setsockopt.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Negotiation changes: Don't output empty content-type in variant list;
     Output charset in variant list; Return sooner from handle_multi() if
     no variants found; Add handling of '*' wildcard in Accept-Charset.
     [Petr Lampa and Paul Sutton]

  *) Fixed overlaying of request/sub-request notes and headers in
     mod_negotiation.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) If two variants' charset quality are equal and one is the default
     charset (iso-8859-1), then prefer the variant that was specifically
     listed in Accept-Charset instead of the default.  [Petr Lampa]

  *) Memory allocation problem in push_array() -- it would corrupt memory
     when nalloc==0.  [Kai Risku <krisku tf.hut.fi> and Roy Fielding]

  *) invoke_handler() doesn't handle mime arguments in content-type
     [Petr Lampa] PR#160

  *) Reduced IdentityCheck timeout to 30 seconds, as per RFC 1413 minimum.
     [Ken Coar]

  *) Fixed problem with ErrorDocument not working for virtual hosts
     due to one of the performance changes in 1.2b7. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Log an error message if we get a request header that is too long,
     since it may indicate a buffer overflow attack. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Made is_url() allow "[-.+a-zA-Z0-9]+:" as a valid scheme and
     not reject URLs without a double-slash, as per RFC2068 section 3.2.
     [Ken Coar] PR #146, #187

  *) Added table entry placeholder for new header_parser callback
     in all of the distributed modules. [Ken Coar] PR #191

  *) Allow for cgi files without the .EXE extension on them under OS/2.
     [Garey Smiley] PR #59

  *) Fixed error message when resource is not found and URL contains
     path info. [Petr Lampa and Dean Gaudet] PR #40

  *) Fixed user and server confusion over what should be a virtual host
     and what is the main server, resulting in access to something
     other than the name defined in the virtualhost directive (but
     with the same IP address) failing. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on
     AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally
     redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for
     RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the
     special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which
     can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create
     time-dependent rewriting rules. [Ralf S. Engelschall]

  *) bpushfd() no longer notes cleanups for the file descriptors it is handed.
     Module authors may need to adjust their code for proper cleanup to take
     place (that is, call note_cleanups_for_fd()). This change fixes problems
     with file descriptors being erroneously closed when the proxy module was
     in use. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Fix bug in suexec reintroduced by changes in 1.2b7 which allows
     initgroups() to hose the group information needed for later
     comparisons. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Remove unnecessary call to va_end() in create_argv() which
     caused a SEGV on some systems.

  *) Use proper MAXHOSTNAMELEN symbol for limiting length of server name.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Clear memory allocated for listeners. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Improved handling of IP address as a virtualhost address and
     introduced "_default_" as a synonym for the default vhost config.
     [Dean Gaudet] PR #212

Changes with Apache 1.2b7

  *) Port to  UXP/DS(V20) [Toshiaki Nomura <nom yk.fujitsu.co.jp>]

  *) unset Content-Length if chunked (RFC-2068) [Petr Lampa]

  *) mod_negotiation fixes [Petr Lampa] PR#157, PR#158, PR#159
     - replace protocol response numbers with symbols
     - save variant-list into main request notes
     - free allocated memory from subrequests
     - merge notes, headers_out and err_headers_out

  *) changed status check mask in proxy_http.c from "HTTP/#.# ### *" to
     "HTTP/#.# ###*" to be more lenient about what we accept.
     [Chuck Murcko]

  *) more proxy FTP bug fixes:
     - Changed send_dir() to remove user/passwd from displayed URL.
     - Changed login error messages to be more descriptive.
     - remove setting of SO_DEBUG socket option
     - Make ftp_getrc() more lenient about multiline responses,
       specifically, 230 responses which don't have continuation 230-
       on each line). These seem to be all NT FTP servers, and while
       perhaps questionable, they appear to be legal by RFC 959.
     - Add missing kill_timeout() after transfer to user completes.
     [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Fixed problem where a busy server could hang when restarting
     after being sent a SIGHUP due to child processes not exiting.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) Modify mod_include escaping so a '\' only signifies an escaped
     character if the next character is one that needs
     escaping.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) Eliminated possible infinite loop in mod_imap when relative URLs are
     used with a 'base' directive that does not have a '/' in it.
     [Marc Slemko, reported by Onno Witvliet <onno tc.hsa.nl>]

  *) Reduced the default timeout from 1200 seconds to 300, and the
     one in the sample configfile from 400 to 300.  [Marc Slemko]

  *) Stop vbprintf from crashing if given a NULL string pointer;
     print (null) instead.  [Ken Coar]

  *) Don't disable Nagle algorithm if system doesn't have TCP_NODELAY.
     [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]

  *) Fixed problem with mod_cgi-generated internal redirects trying to
     read the request message-body twice. [Archie Cobbs and Roy Fielding]

  *) Reduced timeout on lingering close, removed possibility of a blocked
     read causing the child to hang, and stopped logging of errors if
     the socket is not connected (reset by client).  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in
     select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding
     checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to
     account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions,
     prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire
     socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of
     EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally
     improved readability.  [Roy Fielding]

  *) Extensive performance improvements. Cleaned up inefficient use of
     auto initializers, multiple is_matchexp calls on a static string,
     and excessive merging of response_code_strings. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Added double-buffering to mod_include to improve performance on
     server-side includes. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Several fixes for suexec wrapper. [Randy Terbush]
     - Make wrapper work for files on NFS filesystem.
     - Fix portability problem of MAXPATHLEN.
     - Fix array overrun problem in clean_env().
     - Fix allocation of PATH environment variable

  *) Removed extraneous blank line is description of mod_status chars.
     [Kurt Kohler]

  *) Logging of errors from the call_exec routine simply went nowhere,
     since the logfile fd has been closed, so now we send them to stderr.
     [Harald T. Alvestrand]

  *) Fixed core dump when DocumentRoot is a CGI.
     [Ben Laurie, reported by <geddis tesserae.com>]

  *) Fixed potential file descriptor leak in mod_asis; updated it and
     http_core to use pfopen/pfclose instead of fopen/fclose.
     [Randy Terbush and Roy Fielding]

  *) Fixed handling of unsigned ints in ap_snprintf() on some chips such
     as the DEC Alpha which is 64-bit but uses 32-bit ints.
     [Dean Gaudet and Ken Coar]

  *) Return a 302 response code to the client when sending a redirect
     due to a missing trailing '/' on a directory instead of a 301; now
     it is cacheable. [Markus Gyger]

  *) Fix condition where, if a bad directive occurs in .htaccess, and
     sub_request() goes first to this directory, then log_reason() will
     SIGSEGV because it doesn't have initialized r->per_dir_config.
     [PR#162 from Petr Lampa, fix by Marc Slemko and Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix handling of lang_index in is_variant_better().  This was
     causing problems which resulted in the server sending the
     wrong language document in some cases. [Petr Lampa]

  *) Remove free() from clean_env() in suexec wrapper. This was nuking
     the clean environment on some systems.

  *) Tweak byteserving code (e.g. serving PDF files) to work around
     bugs in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
     Emit Content-Length header when sending multipart/byteranges.
     [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Port to HI-UX/WE2. [Nick Maclaren]

  *) Port to HP MPE operating system for HP 3000 machines
     [Mark Bixby <markb cccd.edu>]

  *) Fixed bug which caused a segmentation fault if only one argument
     given to RLimit* directives. [Ed Korthof]

  *) Continue persistent connection after 204 or 304 response. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Improved buffered output to the client by delaying the flush decision
     until the BUFF code is actually about to read the next request.
     This fixes a problem introduced in 1.2b5 with clients that send
     an extra CRLF after a POST request. Also improved chunked output
     performance by combining writes using writev() and removing as
     many bflush() calls as possible.  NOTE: Platforms without writev()
     must add -DNO_WRITEV to the compiler CFLAGS, either in Configuration
     or Configure, unless we have already done so.  [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed mod_rewrite bug which truncated the rewritten URL [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fixed mod_info output corruption bug introduced by buffer overflow
     fixes. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed http_protocol to correctly output all HTTP/1.1 headers, including
     for the special case of a 304 response.  [Paul Sutton]

  *) Improved handling of TRACE method by bypassing normal method handling
     and header parsing routines; fixed Allow response to always allow TRACE.
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fixed compiler warnings in the regex library. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Cleaned-up some of the generated HTML. [Ken Coar]

Changes with Apache 1.2b6

  *) Allow whitespace in imagemap mapfile coordinates. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fix typo introduced in fix for potential infinite loop around
     accept() in child_main(). This change caused the rev to 1.2b6.
     1.2b5 was never a public beta.

Changes with Apache 1.2b5

  *) Change KeepAlive semantics (On|Off instead of a number), add
     MaxKeepAliveRequests directive. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Various NeXT compilation patches, as well as a change in
     regex/regcomp.c since that file also used a NEXT define.
     [Andreas Koenig]

  *) Allow * to terminate the end of a directory match in mod_dir.
     Allows /~* to match for both /~joe and /~joe/. [David Bronder]

  *) Don't call can_exec() if suexec_enabled. Calling this requires
     scripts executed by the suexec wrapper to be world executable, which
     defeats one of the advantages of running the wrapper. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Portability Fix: IRIX complained with 'make clean' about *pure* (removed)
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Migration from sprintf() to snprintf() to avoid buffer
     overflows. [Marc Slemko]

  *) Provide portable snprintf() implementation (ap_snprintf)
     as well as *cvt family. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Portability Fix: NeXT lacks unistd.h so we wrap it's inclusion
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Remove mod_fastcgi.c from the distribution. This module appears
     to be maintained more through the Open Market channels and should
     continue to be easily available at http://www.fastcgi.com/

  *) Fixed bug in modules/Makefile that wouldn't allow building in more
     than one subdirectory (or cleaning, either). [Jeremy Laidman]

  *) mod_info assumed that the config files were relative to ServerRoot.
     [Ken the Rodent]

  *) CGI scripts called as an error document resulting from failed
     CGI execution would hang waiting for POST'ed data. [Rob Hartill]

  *) Log reason when mod_dir returns access HTTP_FORBIDDEN
     [Ken the Rodent]

  *) Properly check errno to prevent display of a directory index
     when server receives a long enough URL to confuse stat().
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) Several security enhancements to suexec wrapper. It is _highly_
     recommended that previously installed versions of the wrapper
     be replaced with this version.  [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]

        - ~user execution now properly restricted to ~user's home
          directory and below.
        - execution restricted to UID/GID > 100
        - restrict passed environment to known variables
        - call setgid() before initgroups() (portability fix)
        - remove use of setenv() (portability fix)

  *) Add HTTP/1.0 response forcing. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Add access control via environment variables. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Add rflush() function. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) remove duplicate pcalloc() call in new_connection().

  *) Fix incorrect comparison which could allow number of children =
     MaxClients + 1 if less than HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. Also fix potential
     problem if StartServers > HARD_SERVER_LIMIT. [Ed Korthof]

  *) Updated support for OSes (MachTen, ULTRIX, Paragon, ISC, OpenBSD
     AIX PS/2, CONVEXOS. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Replace instances of inet_ntoa() with inet_addr() for ProxyBlock.
     It's more portable. [Martin Kraemer]

  *) Replace references to make in Makefile.tmpl with $(MAKE).
     [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Add ProxyBlock directive w/IP address caching. Add IP address
     caching to NoCache directive as well. ProxyBlock works with all
     handlers; NoCache now also works with FTP for anonymous logins.
     Still more code cleanup. [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Add "header parse" API hook [Ben Laurie]

  *) Fix byte ordering problems for REMOTE_PORT [Chuck Murcko]

  *) suEXEC wrapper was freeing memory that had not been malloc'ed.

  *) Correctly allow access and auth directives in <Files> sections in
     server config files. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Fix bug with ServerPath that could cause certain files to be not
     found by the server. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Fix handling of ErrorDocument so that it doesn't remove a trailing
     double-quote from text and so that it properly checks for unsupported
     status codes using the new index_of_response interface. [Roy Fielding]

  *) Multiple fixes to the lingering_close code in order to avoid being
     interrupted by a stray timeout, to avoid lingering on a connection
     that has already been aborted or never really existed, to ensure that
     we stop lingering as soon as any error condition is received, and to
     prevent being stuck indefinitely if the read blocks.  Also improves
     reporting of error conditions.  [Marc Slemko and Roy Fielding]

  *) Fixed initialization of parameter structure for sigaction.
     [<mgyger itr.ch>, Adrian Filipi-Martin]

  *) Fixed reinitializing the parameters before each call to accept and
     select, and removed potential for infinite loop in accept.
     [Roy Fielding, after useful PR from <adrian virginia.edu>]

  *) Fixed condition where, if a child fails to fork, the scoreboard would
     continue to say SERVER_STARTING forever. Eventually, the main process
     would refuse to start new children because count_idle_servers() will
     count those SERVER_STARTING entries and will always report that there
     are enough idle servers. [Phillip Vandry]

  *) Fixed bug in bcwrite regarding failure to account for partial writes.
     Avoided calling bflush() when the client is pipelining requests.
     Removed unnecessary flushes from http_protocol. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Added description of "." mode in server-status [Jim Jagielski]

Changes with Apache 1.2b4

  *) Fix possible race condition in accept_mutex_init() that
     could leave a small security hole open allowing files to be
     overwritten in cases where the server UID has write permissions.
     [Marc Slemko]

  *) Fix awk compatibilty problem in Configure. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fix portablity problem in util_script where ARG_MAX may not be
     defined for some systems.

  *) Add changes to allow compilation on Machten 4.0.3 for PowerPC.
     [Randal Schwartz]

  *) OS/2 changes to support an MMAP style scoreboard file and UNIX
     style magic #! token for better script portability. [Garey Smiley]

  *) Fix bug in suexec wrapper introduced in b3 that would cause failed
     execution for ~userdir CGI. [Jason Dour]

  *) Fix initgroups() business in suexec wrapper. [Jason Dour]

  *) Fix month off by one in suexec wrapper logging.

Changes with Apache 1.2b3:

  *) Fix error in mod_cgi which could cause resources not to be properly
     freed, or worse. [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Fix find_string() NULL pointer dereference. [Howard Fear]

  *) Add set_flag_slot() at the request of Dirk and others.
     [Dirk vanGulik]

  *) Sync mod_rewrite with patch level 10. [Ralf Engelschall]

  *) Add changes to improve the error message given for invalid
     ServerName parameters. [Dirk vanGulik]

  *) Add "Authoritative" directive for Auth modules that don't
     currently have it. This gives admin control to assign authoritative
     control to an authentication scheme and allow "fall through" for
     those authentication modules that aren't "Authoritative" thereby
     allowing multiple authentication mechanisms to be chained.
     [Dirk vanGulik]

  *) Remove requirement for ResourceConfig/AccessConfig if not using
     the three config file layout. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Add PASV mode to mod_proxy FTP handler. [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Changes to suexec wrapper to fix the following problems:
     1.  symlinked homedirs will kill ~userdirs.
     2.  initgroups() on Linux 2.0.x clobbers gr->grid.
     3.  CGI command lines paramters problems
     4.  pw-pwdir for "docroot check" still the httpd user's pw record.
    [Randy Terbush, Jason Dour]

  *) Change create_argv() to accept variable arguments. This fixes
     a problem where arguments were not getting passed to the CGI via
     argv[] when the suexec wrapper was active. [Randy Terbush, Jake Buchholz]

  *) Collapse multiple slashes in path URLs to properly apply
     handlers defined by <Location>. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Define a sane set of DEFAULT_USER and DEFAULT_GROUP values for AIX.

  *) Improve the accuracy of request duration timings by setting
     r->request_time in read_request_line() instead of read_request().
     [Dean Gaudet]

  *) Reset timeout while reading via get_client_block() in mod_cgi.c
     Fixes problem with timed out transfers of large files. [Rasmus Lerdorf]

  *) Add the ability to pass different Makefile.tmpl files to Configure
     using the -make flag. [Rob Hartill]

  *) Fix coredump triggered when sending a SIGHUP to the server caused
     by an assertion failure, in turn caused by an uninitialised field in a
     listen_rec.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) Add FILEPATH_INFO variable to CGI environment, which is equal to
     PATH_INFO from previous versions of Apache (in certain situations,
     Apache 1.2's PATH_INFO will be different than 1.1's). [Alexei Kosut]
     [later removed in 1.2b11]

  *) Add rwrite() function to API to allow for sending strings of
     arbitrary length. [Doug MacEachern]

  *) Remove rlim_t typedef for NetBSD. Do older versions need this?

  *) Defined rlim_t and WANTHSREGEX=yes and fixed waitpid() substitute for
     NeXT. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Removed recent modification to promote the status code on internal
     redirects, since the correct fix was to change the default log format
     in mod_log_config so that it outputs the original status. [Rob Hartill]

Changes with Apache 1.2b2:

  *) Update set_signals() to use sigaction() for setting handlers.
     This appears to fix a re-entrant problem in the seg_fault()
     bus_error() handlers. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Changes to allow mod_status compile for OS/2 [Garey Smiley]

  *) changes for DEC AXP running OSF/1 v3.0. [Marc Evans]

  *) proxy_http.c bugfixes:  [Chuck Murcko]
        1) fixes possible NULL pointer reference w/NoCache
        2) fixes NoCache behavior when using ProxyRemote (ProxyRemote
           host would cache nothing if it was in the local domain,
           and the local domain was in the NoCache list)
        3) Adds Host: header when not available
        4) Some code cleanup and clarification

  *) mod_include.c bugfixes:
        1) Fixed an ommission that caused include variables to not
           be parsed in config errmsg directives [Howard Fear]
        2) Remove HAVE_POSIX_REGEX cruft [Alexei Kosut]
        3) Patch to fix compiler warnings [<perrot lal.in2p3.fr>]
        4) Allow backslash-escaping to all quoted text
           [Ben Yoshino <ben wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>]
        5) Pass variable to command line if not set in XSSI's env
           [Howard Fear]

     type-map files. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Closed file-globbing hole in test-cgi script. [Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Fixed problem in set_[user|group] that prevented CGI execution
     for non-virtualhosts when suEXEC was enabled. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Added PORTING information file.  [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Added definitions for S_IWGRP and S_IWOTH to conf.h [Ben Laurie]

  *) Changed default group to "nogroup" instead of "nobody" [Randy Terbush]

  *) Fixed define typo of FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT where
     USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT was intended.

  *) Fixed additional uses of 0xffffffff where INADDR_NONE was intended,
     which caused problems of systems where socket s_addr is >32bits.

  *) Added comment to explain (r->chunked = 1) side-effect in
     http_protocol.c [Roy Fielding]

  *) Replaced use of index() in mod_expires.c with more appropriate
     and portable isdigit() test.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) Updated Configure for ...
        OS/2          (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, other code changes)
        *-dg-dgux*    (bad pattern match)
        QNX           (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes)
        *-sunos4*     (DEF_WANTHSREGEX=yes, -DUSEBCOPY)
        *-ultrix      (new)
        *-unixware211 (new)
     and added some user diagnostic info.  [Ben Laurie]

  *) In helpers/CutRule, replaced "cut" invocation with "awk" invocation
     for better portability. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Updated helpers/GuessOS for ...
        SCO 5            (recognize minor releases)
        SCO UnixWare     (braindamaged uname, whatever-whatever-unixware2)
        SCO UnixWare 2.1.1      (requires a separate set of #defines in conf.h)
        IRIX64           (-sgi-irix64)
        ULTRIX           (-unknown-ultrix)
        SINIX            (-whatever-sysv4)
        NCR Unix         (-ncr-sysv4)
     and fixed something in helpers/PrintPath  [Ben Laurie]

Changes with Apache 1.2b1

  *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_2.html>

Changes with Apache 1.1.1

  *) Fixed bug where Cookie module would make two entries in the
     logfile for each access [Mark Cox]

  *) Fixed bug where Redirect in .htaccess files would cause memory
     leak. [Nathan Neulinger]

  *) Bring QNX support up to date. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Make virtual hosts default to main server keepalive parameters.
     [Alexei Kosut, Ben Laurie]

     in mod_proxy. [Ben Laurie]

  *) mod_env now turned on by default in Configuration.tmpl.

  *) Bugs which were fixed:
        a) yet more mod_proxy bugs [Ben Laurie]
        b) CGI works again with inetd [Alexei Kosut]
        c) Leading colons were stripped from passwords [<osm interguide.com>]
        d) Another fix to multi-method Limit problem [<jk tools.de>]

Changes with Apache 1.1b4

  *) r->bytes_sent variable restored. [Robert Thau]

  *) Previously broken multi-method <Limit> parsing fixed. [Robert Thau]

  *) More possibly unsecure programs removed from the support directory.

  *) More mod_auth_msql authentication improvements.

  *) VirtualHosts based on Host: headers no longer conflict with the
     Listen directive.

  *) OS/2 compatibility enhancements. [Gary Smiley]

  *) POST now allowed to directory index CGI scripts.

  *) Actions now work with files of the default type.

  *) Bugs which were fixed:
        a) more mod_proxy bugs
        b) early termination of inetd requests
        c) compile warnings on several systems
        d) problems when scripts stop reading output early

Changes with Apache 1.1b3

  *) Much of cgi-bin and all of cgi-src has been removed, due to
     various security holes found and that we could no longer support
     them.

  *) The "Set-Cookie" header is now special-cased to not merge multiple
     instances, since certain popular browsers can not handle multiple
     Set-Cookie instructions in a single header. [Paul Sutton]

  *) rprintf() added to buffer code, occurrences of sprintf removed.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) CONNECT method for proxy module, which means tunneling SSL should work.

     URL's.

  *) New "info" module which reports on installed module set through a
     special URL, a la mod_status.

  *) "ServerPath" directive added - allows for graceful transition
     for Host:-header-based virtual hosts.

  *) Anonymous authentication module improvements.

  *) MSQL authentication module improvements.

  *) Status module design improved - output now table-based. [Ben Laurie]

  *) htdigest utility included for use with digest authentication

  *) mod_negotiation: Accept values with wildcards to be treated with
     less priority than those without wildcards at the same quality
     value. [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Bugs which were fixed:
        a) numerous mod_proxy bugs
        b) CGI early-termination bug [Ben Laurie]
        c) Keepalives not working with virtual hosts
        d) RefererIgnore problems
        e) closing fd's twice in mod_include (causing core dumps on
           Linux and elsewhere).

Changes with Apache 1.1b2

  *) Bugfixes:
        a) core dumps in mod_digest
        b) truncated hostnames/ip address in the logs
        c) relative URL's in mod_imap map files

Changes with Apache 1.1b1

  *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_1.html>

Changes with Apache 1.0.3

  *) Internal redirects which occur in mod_dir.c now preserve the
     query portion of a request (the bit after the question mark).
     [Adam Sussman]

  *) Escape active characters '<', '>' and '&' in html output in
     directory listings, error messages and redirection links.
     [David Robinson]

  *) Apache will now work with LynxOS 2.3 and later [Steven Watt]

     [Nick Williams]

  *) setsockopt no longer takes a const declared argument [Martijn Koster]

  *) Reset timeout timer after each successful fwrite() to the network.
     This patch adds a reset_timeout() procedure that is called by
     send_fd() to reset the timeout ever time data is written to the net.
     [Nathan Schrenk]

  *) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE and reports
     lost connections in a more user friendly way. [Rob Hartill]

  *) Location of the "scoreboard" file which used to live in /tmp is
     now configurable (for OSes that can't use mmap) via ScoreBoardFile
     which works similar to PidFile (in httpd.conf) [Rob Hartill]

  *) Include sys/resource.h in the correct place for SunOS4 [Sameer Parekh]

  *) the pstrcat call in mod_cookies.c didn't have an ending NULL,
     which caused a SEGV with cookies enabled

  *) Output warning when MinSpareServers is set to <= 0 and change it to 1
     [Rob Hartill]

  *) Log the UNIX textual error returned by some system calls, in
     particular errors from accept() [David Robinson]

  *) Add strerror function to util.c for SunOS4 [Randy Terbush]

Changes with Apache 1.0.2

  *) patch to get Apache compiled on UnixWare 2.x, recommended as
     a temporary measure, pending rewrite of rfc931.c. [Chuck Murcko]

  *) Fix get_basic_auth_pw() to set the auth_type of the request.
     [David Robinson]

  *) past changes to http_config.c to only use the
     setrlimit function on systems defining RLIMIT_NOFILE
     broke the feature on SUNOS4. Now defines HAVE_RESOURCE
     for SUNOS and prototypes the needed functions.

  *) Remove uses of MAX_STRING_LEN/HUGE_STRING_LEN from several routines.
     [David Robinson]

  *) Fix use of pointer to scratch memory. [Cliff Skolnick]

  *) Merge multiple headers from CGI scripts instead of taking last
     one. [David Robinson]

Changes with Apache 1.0.1

  *) Silence mod_log_referer and mod_log_agent if not configured
     [Randy Terbush]

  *) Recursive includes can occur if the client supplies PATH_INFO data
     and the server provider uses relative links; as file.html
     relative to /doc.shtml/pathinfo is /doc.shtml/file.html. [David Robinson]

  *) The replacement for initgroups() did not call {set,end}grent(). This
     had two implications: if anything else used getgrent(), then
     initgroups() would fail, and it was consuming a file descriptor.
     [Ben Laurie]

  *) On heavily loaded servers it was possible for the scoreboard to get
     out of sync with reality, as a result of a race condition.
     The observed symptoms are far more Apaches running than should
     be, and heavy system loads, generally followed by catastrophic
     system failure. [Ben Laurie]

  *) Fix typo in license. [David Robinson]

Changes with Apache 1.0.0                                        23 Nov 1995

  *) Not listed. See <http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_1_0.html>

  *) New man page for 'httpd' added to support directory [David Robinson]

  *) .htgroup files can have more than one line giving members for a
     given group (each must have the group name in front), for NCSA
     back-compatibility [Robert Thau]

  *) Mutual exclusion around accept() is on by default for SVR4 systems
     generally, since they generally can't handle multiple processes in
     accept() on the same socket.  This should cure flaky behavior on
     a lot of those systems.  [David Robinson]

  *) AddType, AddEncoding, and AddLanguage directives take multiple
     extensions on a single command line [David Robinson]

  *) UserDir can be disabled for a given virtual host by saying
     "UserDir disabled" in the <VirtualHost> section --- it was a bug
     that this didn't work.  [David Robinson]

  *) Compiles on QNX [Ben Laurie]

  *) Corrected parsing of ctime time format [David Robinson]

  *) httpd does a perror() before exiting if it can't log its pid
     to the PidFile, to make diagnosing the error a bit easier.
     [David Robinson]

  *) <!--#include file="..."--> can no longer include files in the
     parent directory, for NCSA back-compatibility.  [David Robinson]

  *) '~' is *not* escaped in URIs generated for directory listings
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Eliminated compiler warning in the imagemap module [Randy Terbush]

  *) Fixed bug involving handling URIs with escaped %-characters
     in redirects [David Robinson]

  *) Correctly handles internal redirects to files with names containing '%'
     [David Robinson]

  *) Repunctuated some error messages [Aram Mirzadeh, Andrew Wilson]

  *) Use geteuid() rather than getuid() to see if we have root privilege,
     so that server correctly resets privilege if run setuid root.  [Andrew
     Wilson]

  *) Handle ftp: and telnet: URLs correctly in imagemaps (built-in module)
     [Randy Terbush]

  *) Fix relative URLs in imagemap files [Randy Terbush]

  *) Somewhat better fix for the old "Alias /foo/ /bar/" business
     [David Robinson]

  *) Don't repeatedly open the ErrorLog if a bunch of <VirtualHost>
     entries all name the same one. [David Robinson]

  *) Fix directory listings with filenames containing unusual characters
     [David Robinson]

  *) Better URI-escaping for generated URIs in directories with filenames
     containing unusual characters [Ben Laurie]

  *) Fixed potential FILE* leak in http_main.c [Ben Laurie]

  *) Unblock alarms on error return from spawn_child() [David Robinson]

  *) Sample Config files have extra note for SCO users [Ben Laurie]

  *) Configuration has note for HP-UX users [Rob Hartill]

  *) Eliminated some bogus Linux-only #defines in conf.h [Aram Mirzadeh]

  *) Nuked bogus #define in httpd.h [David Robinson]

  *) Better test for whether a system has setrlimit() [David Robinson]

  *) Calls update_child_status() after reopen_scoreboard() [David Robinson]

  *) Doesn't send itself SIGHUP on startup when run in the -X debug-only mode
     [Ben Laurie]

Changes with Apache 0.8.14                                       19 Sep 1995

  *) Compiles on SCO ODT 3.0 [Ben Laurie]

  *) AddDescription works (better) [Ben Laurie]

  *) Leaves an intelligible error diagnostic when it can't set group
     privileges on standalone startup [Andrew Wilson]

  *) Compiles on NeXT again --- the 0.8.13 RLIMIT patch was failing on
     that machine, which claims to be BSD but does not support RLIMIT.
     [Randy Terbush]

  *) gcc -Wall no longer complains about an unused variable when util.c
     is compiled with -DMINIMAL_DNS [Andrew Wilson]

  *) Nuked another compiler warning for -Wall on Linux [Aram Mirzadeh]

Changes with Apache 0.8.13                                       07 Sep 1995

  *) Make IndexIgnore *work* (ooops) [Jarkko Torppa]

  *) Properly default ServerName for virtual servers [Robert Thau]

  *) Rationalize handling of BSD in conf.h and elsewhere [Randy Terbush,
     Paul Richards and a cast of thousands...]

  *) On self-identified BSD systems (we don't try to guess any more),
     allocate a few extra file descriptors per virtual host with setrlimit,
     if we can, to avoid running out. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Write 22-character lock file name into buffer with enough space
     on startup [Konstantin Olchanski]

  *) Use archaic setpgrp() interface on NeXT, which requires it [Brian
     Pinkerton]

  *) Suppress -Wall warning by casting const away in util.c [Aram Mirzadeh]

  *) Suppress -Wall warning by initializing variable in negotiation code
     [Tobias Weingartner]

Changes with Apache 0.8.12                                       31 Aug 1995

  *) Doesn't pause three seconds after including a CGI script which is
     too slow to die off (this is done by not even trying to kill off
     subprocesses, including the SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine, until
     after the entire document has been processed).  [Robert Thau]

  *) Doesn't do SSI if Options Includes is off.  (Ooops).  [David Robinson]

  *) Options IncludesNoExec allows inclusion of at least text/* [Roy Fielding]

  *) Allows .htaccess files to override <Directory> sections naming the
     same directory [David Robinson]

  *) Removed an efficiency hack in sub_req_lookup_uri which was
     causing certain extremely marginal cases (e.g., ScriptAlias of a
     *particular* index.html file) to fail.  [David Robinson]

  *) Doesn't log an error when the requested URI requires
     authentication, but no auth header line was supplied by the
     client; this is a normal condition (the client doesn't no auth is
     needed here yet).  [Robert Thau]

  *) Behaves more sanely when the name server loses its mind [Sean Welch]

  *) RFC931 code compiles cleanly on old BSDI releases [Randy Terbush]

  *) RFC931 code no longer passes out name of prior clients on current
     requests if the current request came from a server that doesn't
     do RFC931.  [David Robinson]

  *) Configuration script accepts "Module" lines with trailing whitespace.
     [Robert Thau]

  *) Cleaned up compiler warning from mod_access.c [Robert Thau]

  *) Cleaned up comments in mod_cgi.c [Robert Thau]

Changes with Apache 0.8.11                                       24 Aug 1995

  *) Wildcard <Directory> specifications work.  [Robert Thau]

  *) Doesn't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]

  *) Symlink checks (FollowSymLinks off, or SymLinkIfOwnerMatch) always check
     the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
     up to it. [Robert Thau]

  *) Logs access failures due to symlink checks or invalid client address
     in the error log [Roy Fielding, Robert Thau]

  *) Symlink checks deal correctly with systems where lstat of
     "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link.  [Thau, Fielding]

  *) Doesn't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
     other directory options are set in a .htaccess file.  [Robert Thau]

  *) Clarified init code and nuked bogus warning in mod_access.c
     [Florent Guillaume]

  *) Corrected several directives in sample srm.conf
     --- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
     (using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
     icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Corrected descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt in command table
     [James Cloos]

  *) INSTALL & README mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian
     Behlendorf]

  *) Fixed English in the license language...  "for for" --> "for".
     [Roy Fielding]

  *) Fixed ScriptAlias/Alias interaction by moving ScriptAlias handling to
     mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
     adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
     to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
     ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-compatibility, as the old
     NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAlias directories).
     [Robert Thau]

Changes with Apache 0.8.10                                       18 Aug 1995

  *) AllowOverride applies to the named directory, and not just
     subdirectories.  [David Robinson]

  *) Do locking for accept() exclusion (on systems that need it)
     using a special file created for the purpose in /usr/tmp, and
     not the error log; using the error log causes real problems
     if it's NFS-mounted; this is known to be the cause of a whole
     lot of "server hang" problems with Solaris.  [David Robinson;
     thanks to Merten Schumann for help diagnosing the problem].

Changes with Apache 0.8.9                                        12 Aug 1995

  *) Compiles with -DMAXIMUM_DNS ---- ooops! [Henrik Mortensen]

  *) Nested includes see environment variables of the including document,
     for NCSA bug-compatibility (some sites have standard footer includes
     which try to print out the last-modified date).  [Eric Hagberg/Robert
     Thau]

  *) <!--exec cgi="/some/uri/here"--> always treats the item named by the
     URI as a CGI script, even if it would have been treated as something
     else if requested directly, for NCSA back-compatibility.  (Note that
     this means that people who know the name of the script can see the
     code just by asking for it).  [Robert Thau]

  *) New version of dbmmanage script included in support directory as
     dbmmanage.new.

  *) Check if scoreboard file couldn't be opened, and say so, rather
     then going insane [David Robinson]

  *) POST to CGI works on A/UX [Jim Jagielski]

  *) AddIcon and AddAlt commands work properly [Rob Hartill]

  *) NCSA server push works properly --- the Arena bug compatibility
     workaround, which broke it, is gone (use -DARENA_BUG_WORKAROUND
     if you still want the workaround).  [Rob Hartill]

  *) If client didn't submit any Accept-encodings, ignore encodings in
     content negotiation.  (NB this will all have to be reworked anyway
     for the new HTTP draft).  [Florent Guillaume]

  *) Don't dump core when trying to log timed-out requests [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Really honor CacheNegotiatedDocs [Florent Guillaume]

  *) Give Redirect priority over Alias, for NCSA bug compatibility
     [David Robinson]

  *) Correctly set PATH_TRANSLATED in all cases from <!--#exec cmd=""-->,
     paralleling earlier bug fix for CGI [David Robinson]

  *) If DBM auth is improperly configured, report a server error and don't
     dump core.

  *) Deleted FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPTS from conf.h entry for A/UX;
     it seems to work well enough without it (even in a 10 hits/sec
     workout), and the overhead for the locking under A/UX is
     alarmingly high (though it is very low on other systems).
     [Eric Hagberg, Jim Jagielski]

  *) Fixed portability problems with mod_cookies.c [Cliff Skolnick]

  *) Further de-Berklize mod_cookies.c; change the bogus #include.  [Brian
     Behlendorf/Eric Hagberg]

  *) More improvements to default Configuration for A/UX [Jim Jagielski]

  *) Compiles clean on NEXT [Rob Hartill]

  *) Compiles clean on SGI [Robert Thau]

Changes with Apache 0.8.8                                        08 Aug 1995

  *) SunOS library prototypes now never included unless explicitly
     requested in the configuration (via -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES);
     people using GNU libc on SunOS are screwed by prototypes for the
     standard library.

     (Those who wish to compile clean with gcc -Wall on a standard
     SunOS setup need the prototypes, and may obtain them using
     -DSUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES.  Those wishing to use -Wall on a system
     with nonstandard libraries are presumably competent to make their
     own arrangements).

  *) Strips trailing '/' characters off both args to the Alias command,
     to make 'Alias /foo/ /bar/' work.

Changes with Apache 0.8.7                                        03 Aug 1995

  *) Don't hang when restarting with a child from 'TransferLog "|..."' running
     [reported by David Robinson]

  *) Compiles clean on OSF/1 [David Robinson]

  *) Added some of the more recent significant changes (AddLanguage stuff,
     experimental LogFormat support) to CHANGES file in distribution root
     directory

Changes with Apache 0.8.6                                        02 Aug 1995

  *) Deleted Netscape reload workaround --- it's in violation of HTTP specs.
     (If you actually wanted a conditional GET which bypassed the cache, you
     couldn't get it). [Reported by Roy Fielding]

  *) Properly terminate headers on '304 Not Modified' replies to conditional
     GETs --- no browser we can find cares much, but the CERN proxy chokes.
     [Reported by Cliff Skolnick; fix discovered independently by Rob Hartill]

  *) httpd -v doesn't call itself "Shambhala".  [Reported by Chuck Murcko]

  *) SunOS lib-function prototypes in conf.h conditionalized on __GNUC__,
     not __SUNPRO_C (they're needed to quiet gcc -Wall, but acc chokes on 'em,
     and older versions don't set the __SUNPRO_C preprocessor variable).  On
     all other systems, these are never used anyway.  [Reported by Mark Cox].

  *) Scoreboard file (/tmp/htstatus.*) no longer publically writable.

Changes with Apache 0.8.5                                        01 Aug 1995

  *) Added last-minute configurable log experiment, as optional module

  *) Correctly set r->bytes_sent for HTTP/0.9 requests, so they get logged
     properly.  (One-line fix to http_protocol.c).

  *) Work around bogus behavior when reloading from Netscape.
     It's Netscape's bug --- for some reason they expect a request with
     If-modified-since: to not function as a conditional GET if it also
     comes with Pragma: no-cache, which is way out of line with the HTTP
     spec (according to Roy Fielding, the redactor).

  *) Added parameter to set maximum number of server processes.

  *) Added patches to make it work on A/UX.  A/UX is *weird*.  [Eric Hagberg,
     Jim Jagielski]

  *) IdentityCheck bugfix [Chuck Murcko].

  *) Corrected cgi-src/Makefile entry for new imagemap script.  [Alexei Kosut]

  *) More sample config file corrections; add extension to AddType for
     *.asis, move AddType generic description to its proper place, and
     fix miscellaneous typos. [ Alexei Kosut ]

  *) Deleted the *other* reference to the regents from the Berkeley
     legal disclaimer (everyplace).

  *) Nuked Shambhala name from src/README; had already cleaned it out
     of everywhere else.

Changes with Apache 0.8.4

  *) Changes to server-pool management parms --- renamed current
     StartServers to MinSpareServers, created separate StartServers
     parameter which means what it says, and renamed MaxServers to
     MaxSpareServers (though the old name still works, for NCSA 1.4
     back-compatibility).  The old names were generally regarded as
     too confusing.  Also altered "docs" in sample config files.

  *) More improvements to default config files ---
     sample directives (commented out) for XBitHack, BindAddress,
     CacheNegotiatedDocs, VirtualHost; decent set of AddLanguage
     defaults, AddTypes for send-as-is and imagemap magic types, and
     improvements to samples for DirectoryIndex [Alexei Kosut]

  *) Yet more improvements to default config files --- changes to
     Alexei's sample AddLanguage directives, and sample LanguagePriority
     [ Florent Guillaume ]

  *) Set config file locations properly if not set in httpd.conf
     [ David Robinson ]

  *) Don't escape URIs in internal redirects multiple times; don't
     do that when translating PATH_INFO to PATH_TRANSLATED either.
     [ David Robinson ]

  *) Corrected spelling of "Required" in 401 error reports [Andrew Wilson]

Changes with Apache 0.8.3

  *) Edited distribution README to *briefly* summarize installation
     procedures, and give a pointer to the INSTALL file in the src/
     directory.

  *) Upgraded imagemap script in cgi-bin to 1.8 version from more
     recent NCSA distributions.

  *) Bug fix to previous bug fix --- if .htaccess file and <Directory>
     exist for the same directory, use both and don't segfault.  [Reported
     by David Robinson]

  *) Proper makefile dependencies [David Robinson]

  *) Note (re)starts in error log --- reported by Rob Hartill.

  *) Only call no2slash() after get_path_info() has been done, to
     preserve multiple slashes in the PATH_INFO [NCSA compatibility,
     reported by Andrew Wilson, though this one is probably a real bug]

  *) Fixed mod_imap.c --- relative paths with base_uri referer don't
     dump core when Referer is not supplied. [Randy Terbush]

  *) Lightly edited sample config files to refer people to our documentation
     instead of NCSA's, and to list Rob McCool as *original* author (also
     deleted his old, and no doubt non-functional email address).  Would be
     nice to have examples of new features...

Changes with Apache 0.8.2                                        19 Jul 1995

  *) Added AddLanuage code [Florent Guillaume]

  *) Don't say "access forbidden" when a CGI script is not found.  [Mark Cox]

  *) All sorts of problems when MultiViews finds a directory.  It would
     be nice if mod_dir.c was robust enough to handle that, but for now,
     just punt.  [reported by Brian Behlendorf]

  *) Wait for all children on restart, to make sure that the old socket
     is gone and we can reopen it.  [reported by Randy Terbush]

  *) Imagemap module is enabled in default Configuration

  *) RefererLog and UserAgentLog modules properly default the logfile
     [Randy Terbush]

  *) Mark Cox's mod_cookies added to the distribution as an optional
     module (commented out in the default Configuration, and noted as
     an experiment, along with mod_dld). [Mark Cox]

  *) Compiles on ULTRIX (a continuing battle...). [Robert Thau]

  *) Fixed nasty bug in SIGTERM handling [reported by Randy Terbush]

  *) Changed "Shambhala" to "Apache" in API docs. [Robert Thau]

  *) Added new, toothier legal disclaimer. [Robert Thau; copied from BSD
     license]

Changes with Apache 0.8.1

  *) New imagemap module [Randy Terbush]

  *) Replacement referer log module with NCSA-compatible RefererIgnore
     [Matthew Gray again]

  *) Don't mung directory listings with very long filenames.
     [Florent Guillaume]

Changes with Apache 0.8.0 (nee Shambhala 0.6.2)                  16 Jul 1995

  *) New config script.  See INSTALL for info.  [Robert Thau]

  *) Scoreboard mechanism for regulating the number of extant server
     processes.  MaxServers and StartServers defaults are the same as
     for NCSA, but the meanings are slightly different.  (Actually,
     I should probably lower the MaxServers default to 10).

     Before asking for a new connection, each server process checks
     the number of other servers which are also waiting for a
     connection.  If there are more than MaxServers, it quietly dies
     off.  Conversely, every second, the root, or caretaker, process
     looks to see how many servers are waiting for a new connection;
     if there are fewer than StartServers, it starts a new one.  This
     does not depend on the number of server processes already extant.
     The accounting is arranged through a "scoreboard" file, named
     /tmp/htstatus.*, on which each process has an independent file
     descriptor (they need to seek without interference).

     The end effect is that MaxServers is the maximum number of
     servers on an *inactive* server machine, but more will be forked
     off to handle unusually heavy loads (or unusually slow clients);
     these will die off when they are no longer needed --- without
     reverting to the overhead of full forking operation.  There is a
     hard maximum of 150 server processes compiled in, largely to
     avoid forking out of control and dragging the machine down.
     (This is arguably too high).

     In my server endurance tests, this mechanism did not appear to
     impose any significant overhead, even after I forced it to put the
     scoreboard file on a normal filesystem (which might have more
     overhead than tmpfs).  [Robert Thau]

  *) Set HTTP_FOO variables for SSI <!--#exec cmd-->s, not just CGI scripts.
     [Cliff Skolnick]

  *) Read .htaccess files even in directory with <Directory> section.
     (Former incompatibility noted on mailing list, now fixed). [Robert
     Thau]

  *) "HEAD /" gives the client a "Bad Request" error message, rather
     than trying to send no body *and* no headers.  [Cliff Skolnick].

  *) Don't produce double error reports for some very obscure cases
     mainly involving auth configuration (the "all modules decline to
     handle" case which is a sure sign of a server bug in most cases,
     but also happens when authentication is badly misconfigured).
     [Robert Thau]

  *) Moved FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT defines into conf.h (that's what
     it's *for*, and this sort of thing really shouldn't be cluttering
     up the Makefile). [Robert Thau]

  *) Incidental code cleanups in http_main.c --- stop dragging
     sa_client around; just declare it where used.  [Robert Thau]

  *) Another acc-related fix.  (It doesn't like const char
     in some places...). [Mark Cox]

Changes with Shambhala 0.6.1                                     13 Jul 1995

  *) Fixed auth_name-related typos in http_core.c [Brian Behlendorf]
     Also, fixed auth typo in http_protocol.c unmasked by this fix.

  *) Compiles clean with acc on SunOS [Paul Sutton]

  *) Reordered modules in modules.c so that Redirect takes priority
     over ScriptAlias, for NCSA bug-compatibility [Rob Hartill] ---
     believe it or not, he has an actual site with a ScriptAlias and
     a Redirect declared for the *exact same directory*.  Even *my*
     compatibility fetish wouldn't motivate me to fix this if the fix
     required any effort, but it doesn't, so what the hey.

  *) Fixed to properly default several server_rec fields for virtual
     servers from the corresponding fields in the main server_rec.
     [Cliff Skolnick --- 'port' was a particular irritant].

  *) No longer kills off nph- child processes before they are
     finished sending output. [Matthew Gray]

Changes with Shambhala 0.6.0                                     10 Jul 1995

  *) Two styles of timeout --- hard and soft.  soft_timeout()s just put
     the connection to the client in an "aborted" state, but otherwise
     allow whatever handlers are running to clean up.  hard_timeout()s
     abort the request in progress completely; anything not tied to some
     resource pool cleanup will leak.  They're still around because I
     haven't yet come up with a more elegant way of handling
     timeouts when talking to something that isn't the client.  The
     default_handler and the dir_handler now use soft timeouts, largely
     so I can test the feature.  [Robert Thau]

  *) TransferLog "| my_postprocessor ..." seems to be there.  Note that
     the case of log handlers dying prematurely is probably handled VERY
     gracelessly at this point, and if the logger stops reading input,
     the server will hang.  (It is known to correctly restart the
     logging process on server restart; this is (should be!) going through
     the same SIGTERM/pause/SIGKILL routine used to ding an errant CGI
     script).  [Robert Thau]

  *) asis files supported (new module).  [Robert Thau]

  *) IdentityCheck code is compiled in, but has not been tested.  (I
     don't know anyone who runs identd). [Robert Thau]

  *) PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED are not set unless some real PATH_INFO
     came in with the request, for NCSA bug-compatibility. [Robert Thau]

  *) Don't leak the DIR * on HEAD request for a directory. [Robert Thau]

  *) Deleted the block_alarms() stuff from dbm_auth; no longer necessary,
     as timeouts are not in scope. [Robert Thau]

  *) quoted-string args in config files now handled correctly (doesn't drop
     the last character). [Robert Thau; reported by Randy Terbush]

  *) Fixed silly typo in http_main.c which was suddenly fatal in HP-UX.
     How the hell did it ever work? [Robert Thau; reported by Rob Hartill]

  *) mod_core.c --- default_type returns DEFAULT_TYPE (the compile-time
     default default type); the former default default behavior when all
     type-checkers defaulted had been a core dump.  [Paul Sutton]

  *) Copy filenames out of the struct dirent when indexing
     directories.  (On Linux, readdir() returns a pointer to the same
     memory area every time).  Fix is in mod_dir.c.  [Paul Sutton]

Changes with Shambhala 0.5.3 [not released]

  *) Default response handler notes "file not found" in the error log,
     if the file was not found.  [Cliff Skolnick].

  *) Another Cliff bug --- "GET /~user" now properly redirects (the userdir
     code no longer sets up bogus PATH_INFO which fakes out the directory
     handler). [Cliff Skolnick]

Changes with Shambhala 0.5.2                                     06 Jul 1995

  *) Changes to http_main.c --- root server no longer plays silly
     games with SIGCHLD, and so now detects and replaces dying
     children.  Child processes just die on SIGTERM, without taking
     the whole process group with them.  Potential problem --- if any
     child process refuses to die, we hang in restart.
     MaxRequestsPerChild may still not work, but it certainly works
     better than it did before this!  [Robert Thau]

  *) mod_dir.c bug fixes: ReadmeName and HeaderName
     work (or work better, at least); over-long description lines
     properly terminated. [Mark Cox]

  *) http_request.c now calls unescape_url() more places where it
     should [Paul Sutton].

  *) More directory handling bugs (reported by Cox)
     Parent Directory link is now set correctly. [Robert Thau]

Changes with Shambhala 0.5.1                                     04 Jul 1995

  *) Generalized cleanup interface in alloc.c --- any function can be
     registered with alloc.c as a cleanup for a resource pool;
     tracking of files and file descriptors has been reimplemented in
     terms of this interface, so I can give it some sort of a test.
     [Robert Thau]

  *) More changes in alloc.c --- new cleanup_for_exec() function,
     which tracks down and closes all file descriptors which have been
     registered with the alloc.c machinery before the server exec()s a
     child process for CGI or <!--#exec-->.  CGI children now get
     started with exactly three file descriptors open.  Hopefully,
     this cures the problem Rob H. was having with overly persistent
     CGI connections. [Robert Thau]

  *) Mutual exclusion around the accept() in child_main() --- this is
     required on at least SGI, Solaris and Linux, and is #ifdef'ed in
     by default on those systems only (-DFCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT).
     This uses fcntl(F_SETLK,...) on the error log descriptor because
     flock() on that descriptor won't work on systems which have BSD
     flock() semantics, including (I think) Linux 1.3 and Solaris.

     This does work on SunOS (when the server is idle, only one
     process in the pool is waiting on accept()); it *ought* to work
     on the other systems. [Robert Thau]

  *) FreeBSD and BSDI portability tweaks [Chuck Murcko]

  *) sizeof(*sa_client) bugfix from [Rob Hartill]

  *) pstrdup(..., NULL) returns NULL, [Randy Terbush]

  *) block_alarms() to avoid leaking the DBM* in dbm auth (this should
     be unnecessary if I go to the revised timeout-handling scheme).
     [Robert Thau]

  *) For NCSA bug-compatibility, set QUERY_STRING env var (to a null
     string) even if none came in with the request.  [Robert Thau]

  *) CHANGES file added to distribution ;-).

Changes with Shambhala 0.4.5

  *) mod_dld --- early dynamic loading support [rst]
  *) Add wildcard content handlers for XBITHACK; default_hander now
     invoked with that mechanism (as a handler hanging off mod_core) [rst]
  *) XBITHACK supported as a wildcard content-handler, and 
     configurable at run-time (not just at compile time, as in the
     "patchy server" releases) [rst]

Changes with Shambhala 0.4.4                                     30 Jun 1995

  *) Fixed basic thinkos in mod_dbm_auth.c [rst, reported by Mark Cox]
  *) Handle Addtype x/y .z [rst, reported by Cox]

Changes with Shambhala 0.4.3

  *) Fixed very dumb bug in mod_alias; "Alias" and "Redirect" are not
     synonymous [rst, terbush]

Changes with Shambhala 0.4.1                                     28 Jun 1995

  *) First-cut virtual host implementation; some refit in the config
     reading code, and log management, was necessary to support this [rst]
  *) Sub-pool machinery, originally added to avoid excessive storage
     allocation on listings of large directories (which turned out to
     be the problem that the 0.3 storage accounting was added to
     find).  Subrequests and mod_dir changed to use subpools.  [rst]
  *) More memory debugging --- free list consistency checks. [rst]
  *) Added err_headers to request_rec, with support elsewhere [rst]
  *) Other fixes to minor bugs in mod_dir and mod_includes [rst, terbush]

Changes with Shambhala 0.3                                       19 Jun 1995

  *) Switch ONE_PROCESS to a runtime command-line option (-X)
  *) Don't compile in mod_ai_backcompat by default
  *) Switch name of server from Apache to Shambhala in Makefile
  *) Add some accounting routines to track memory usage in the pools,
     for debugging

Changes with Shambhala 0.2

  *) Set DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable
  *) Add single-process debugging, as a compile-time option (ONE_PROCESS)
  *) Add critical section protection to handling of cleanup structures 
     in alloc.c [rst]
  *) Significant code reorg within the server core to group related
     functions together [rst]
  *) Correctly handle clients that hang up before sending any request
     [rst]
  *) Replace dying child processes. [rst]

Changes with Shambhala 0.1                                       12 Jun 1995

   Major rewrite of the pre-existing "patchy server" codebase, by
   Robert Thau (rst).  Significant portions of the server code, such
   as configuration-file handling and HTTP authentication support,
   were ripped out and rewritten from scratch.  Code that was not
   completely rewritten was significantly altered.

   Major changes with this release include:

   *) Introduction of the module API; in request handling, the central 
      machinery just dispatches to various modules, which actually do
      most of the work.  Configuration handling is similar --- modules
      declare their own commands, and the central machinery just
      dispatches to them.  

      API features from shambhala/0.1 were substantially unchanged in
      Apache 1.0 and 1.1.  (1.0 API features not yet present in this
      release, such as wildcard handlers and subpools, were added in
      subsequent Shambhala releases, and were also generally rst's
      work). 

   *) This release included the following modules:

      mod_access      (access control --- allow and deny directives),
      mod_alias       (Alias and Redirect commands),
      mod_auth        (straight HTTP authentication, based on flat-files)
      mod_auth_dbm    (same, with dbm files)
      mod_cgi         (CGI scripts and, in this release, ScriptAlias)
      mod_common_log  (CLF access logs; later renamed mod_log_common)
      mod_dir         (directory indexing)
      mod_include     (server-side includes)
      mod_mime        (AddType directives)
      mod_negotiation (content negotiation)
      mod_userdir     (support for users' public_html directories)

      It also included a mod_ai_backcompat, which was a private hack
      for back-compatibility with rst's own AI-lab servers.

      All of these modules were substantially complete, and functional 
      or nearly so (a few, which implemented features not in use at
      Thau's site, required patches of a few lines).

   *) sub-request machinery, to allow modules to determine how other
      modules would assign MIME types to a given file, or optionally
      serve its content (this is heavily used by mod_dir, mod_include
      and mod_negotiation).

   *) Resource pool system for keeping track of memory allocated and
      files opened in service of a particular request.  Much of the
      code in the modules (when they weren't rewrites) was adjusted to 
      replace a pervasive convention of using fixed-size buffers on
      the stack with an equally pervasive convention of using memory
      allocated with palloc().

   *) Reorganization of data structures associated with a given
      request to eliminate use of global variables and the troublesome 
      unmunge_name function (used in NCSA and early Apache releases to 
      attempt to determine the URI which mapped to a given filename
      --- a difficult proposition, given that it is easy to produce
      setups in which multiple URIs map to the same file).

   *) Source files renamed and rearranged

   *) Very simple pre-forking behavior --- parent process forked off a 
      fixed number of children, and then just waited for SIGHUP.

   *) Other more minor changes too numerous to list.

   This release included modified versions of a lot of code from the
   Apache 0.6.4 public release, plus an early pre-forking patch
   codeveloped by Robert Thau and Rob Hartill.

Changes with Apache 0.7.3                                        20 Jun 1995

   *) There were a bunch of changes between Apache 0.6.4 and 0.7.3 that
      were incorporated by Rob Hartill on the main branch while Robert Thau
      worked on the Shambhala rewrite above.  Most were merged into the
      Shambala architecture after Apache 0.8.0.
