ldap authorization only modules have access to the util_ldap
user cache without having to require ldap authentication as well.
PR 31898. [Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]

directive [Brian Pane]

*) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR. The removes the annoying warning about
tmpnam being unsafe. [Ryan Bloom]
*) We must set the MIME-type for .shtml files to text/html if we want them
to be parsed for SSI tags. Add the config for that to the default

[Jean-frederic Clere <jfrederic.clere fujitsu-siemens.com>]
*) Make the default_handler catch all requests that aren't served by
another handler. This also gets us to return a 404 if a directory

loaded. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fixed the handling of nested if-statements in shtml files.
PR 9866 [Brian Pane]
*) Allow 'make install DESTDIR=/path'. This allows packagers to install
into a directory different from the one that was configured. This
also mirrors the root= feature from 1.3. We cannot use prefix=,
because both APR and APR-util resolve their installation paths at
configuration time. This means that there is no variable prefix
to replace. [Andreas Hasenack <andreas netbank.com.br>]
*) AIX 4.3.2 and above: Define SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT.
These levels of AIX don't have a thundering herd problem with
accept(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) prefork MPM: Ignore mutex errors during graceful restart. For
certain types of mutexes (particularly SysV semaphores), we
should expect to occasionally fail to obtain or release the
mutex during restart processing. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix install-bindist.sh so that it finds any perl instead of just
early perl 5.x versions. This is consistent with a build/install
from source, and it allows the perl scripts installed by a bindist
to work on systems with perl 5.6. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix apxs so that the makefile created by "apxs -g" works on AIX and
Tru64 (and probably some other platforms). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow CGI scripts to return their Content-Length. This also fixes a
hang on HEAD requests seen on certain platforms (such as FreeBSD).

utility. [Brad Nicholes]

Changes with Apache 2.0.37

authentication is used with 'SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate' enabled

it has sent an EOS bucket up the stack, if so, it will only ever
send an EOS bucket for this request.

Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]

*) Fix the calculation of request time in mod_status. [Stas Bekman]
*) Fix the calculation of thread_num in the worker score structure.
[Stas Bekman]
*) Use apr_atomic operations in managing the mod_mem_cache
cache_objects for SMP scalability. (see USE_ATOMICS
preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Add filehandle caching to mod_mem_cache. (see CACHE_FD
preprocessor directive in mod_file_cache)
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Implement prototype mod_disk_cache for use with mod_cache.
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Add a missing manualdir entry in the Debian config.layout.
[Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
*) Stop installing libtool for APR and tell APR where it should place
its copy of libtool (via our installbuildpath layout variable).
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy. [Graham Leggett]
*) Modify receive/send loop in proxy_http and proxy_ftp so that
should it be necessary, the remote server socket is closed before
transmitting the last buffer (set by ProxyIOBufferSize) to the
client. This prevents the backend server from being forced to hang
around while the last few bytes are transmitted to a slow client.
Fix the case where no error checking was performed on the final
brigade in the loop. [Graham Leggett]
*) Scrap CacheMaxExpireMin and CacheDefaultExpireMin. Change
CacheMaxExpire and CacheDefaultExpire to use seconds rather than
hours. [Graham Leggett, Bill Stoddard]
*) New Directive SSIUndefinedEcho. to change the '(none)' echoed
for a undefined variable. [Ian Holsman]
*) Proxy HTTP and CONNECT: Keep trying other addresses from the DNS
when we can't get a socket in the specified address family. We may
have gotten back an IPv6 address first and yet our system is not
configured to allow IPv6 sockets. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Be more careful about recursively removing CVS directories. Make
sure that we aren't cd'ing to their home directory first. PR: 9993
[Aaron Bannert, James LewisMoss <dres lewismoss.net>]
*) Add a missing errordir entry in the Debian config.layout. PR: 10067
[Dirk-Jan Faber <dirk-jan selwerd.nl>, Aaron Bannert,
Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
*) Rename the filter ordering priorities. The recent filtering fixes
have showcased problems with their usage. Therefore, we need to
rename them to increase the clarity. (CONTENT->RESOURCE,
HTTP_HEADER->CONTENT_SET/PROTOCOL) [Justin Erenkrantz]
Changes with Apache 2.0.33
*) Fix a problem in the new --enable-layout functionality where
it wouldn't allow overrides from variables like --prefix,
--bindir, etc. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
*) Fix a bug in the core input filter for AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE. It
no longer hangs around waiting for the socket to close before
returning exhaustive data. [Aaron Bannert]
*) rename apr_exploded_time_t to apr_time_exp_t (as per renames pending)
[Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>]
*) Change mod_ssl to always do a full startup/teardown on restarts.
this allows mod_ssl to be added to a server that is already
running and makes it possible to add/change certs/keys after the
server has been started. [Doug MacEachern]
*) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
This pipe must be a bidirectional 'console' style relay, which
mod_ssl prints all prompts to the pipe's stdin, and reads the
passphrases from the pipe's stdout. [William Rowe]
*) Fix bug where --sysconfdir and --localstatedir were being
ignored. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
PR 9888
*) Fix --enable-layout to work again. Caution: When specifying
--enable-layout, common arguments like --prefix, --exec-prefix,
etc. will be ignored and the settings from the layout will be
used instead. [Thom May <thom planetarytramp.net>, Aaron Bannert]
PR 9124, 9873, 9885
*) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch. This provides
regex pattern matching for the determination of which requests
to use the remote proxy for. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Fix CustomLog bytes-sent with HTTP 0.9. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Prevent Apache from ignoring SIGHUP due to some lingering 1.3
cruft in piped logs and rewritemap child processes.
[William Rowe]
*) All instances of apr_lock_t have been removed and converted
to one of the following new lock APIs: apr_thread_mutex.h,
apr_proc_mutex.h, or apr_global_mutex.h. No new code should
use the apr_lock.h API, as the old API will soon be deprecated.
[Aaron Bannert]
*) Merged in changes to mod_ssl up through 2.8.7-1.3.23.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, Cliff Woolley]
*) mod-include: make it handle flush'es and fix the 'false-alarm'
[Justin Erenkrantz, Brian Pane, Ian Holsman]
*) ap_get_*_filter_handle() functions to allow 3rd party modules
to lookup filter handles so they can bypass the filter name
lookup when adding filters to a request (via ap_add_*_filter_handle())
[Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
*) Fix for multiple file buckets on Win32, where the first file
bucket would cause the immediate closure of the socket on any
non-keepalive requests. [Ryan Morgan <rmorgan covalent.net>]
*) Correct Win32 failure of mmap of a segment beyond start of the
file; fixes large SSL and similar transfers. [William Rowe]
PR 9898
*) Implement apr_proc_detach changes and allow -DNO_DETACH in the
multi-process mode to not "daemonize" while detaching from the
controlling terminal. This is necessary for Apache to work with
process-management tools like AIX's "System Resource Controller"
as well as Dan Bernstein's "daemontools".
