Changes with Apache 2.2.18
*) Log an error for failures to read a chunk-size, and return 408 instead
413 when this is due to a read timeout. This change also fixes some cases
of two error documents being sent in the response for the same scenario.
[Eric Covener] PR49167
*) core: Only log a 408 if it is no keepalive timeout. PR 39785
[Ruediger Pluem, Mark Montague <markmont umich.edu>]
*) core: Treat timeout reading request as 408 error, not 400.
Log 408 errors in access log as was done in Apache 1.3.x.
PR 39785 [Nobutaka Mantani <nobutaka nobutaka.org>, Stefan Fritsch,
Dan Poirier]
*) Core HTTP: disable keepalive when the Client has sent
Expect: 100-continue
but we respond directly with a non-100 response. Keepalive here led
to data from clients continuing being treated as a new request.
PR 47087. [Nick Kew]
*) htpasswd: Change the default algorithm for htpasswd to MD5 on all
platforms. Crypt with its 8 character limit is not useful anymore;
improve out of disk space handling (PR 30877); print a warning if
a password is truncated by crypt. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_win32: Added shebang check for '! so that .vbs scripts work as CGI.
Win32's cscript interpreter can only use a single quote as comment char.
[Guenter Knauf]
*) configure: Fix htpasswd/htdbm libcrypt link errors with some newer
linkers. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) MinGW build improvements. PR 49535. [John Vandenberg
<jayvdb gmail.com>, Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_ssl, ab: Support OpenSSL compiled without SSLv2 support.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: AllowEncodedSlashes new option NoDecode to allow encoded slashes
in request URL path info but not decode them. PR 35256,
PR 46830. [Dan Poirier]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow to unset environment variables. PR 50746.
[Rainer Jung]
*) suEXEC: Add Suexec directive to disable suEXEC without renaming the
binary (Suexec Off), or force startup failure if suEXEC is required
but not supported (Suexec On). [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_proxy: Put the worker in error state if the SSL handshake with the
backend fails. PR 50332.
[Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>, Ruediger Pluem]
*) prefork: Update MPM state in children during a graceful restart.
Allow the HTTP connection handling loop to terminate early
during a graceful restart. PR 41743.
[Andrew Punch <andrew.punch 247realmedia.com>]
*) mod_ssl: Correctly read full lines in input filter when the line is
incomplete during first read. PR 50481. [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_autoindex: Merge IndexOptions from server to directory context when
the directory has no mod_autoindex directives. PR 47766. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_cache: Make sure that we never allow a 304 Not Modified response
that we asked for to leak to the client should the 304 response be
uncacheable. PR45341 [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_dav: Send 400 error if malformed Content-Range header is received for
a put request (RFC 2616 14.16). PR 49825. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_userdir: Add merging of enable, disable, and filename arguments
to UserDir directive, leaving enable/disable of userlists unmerged.
PR 44076 [Eric Covener]
*) core: Honor 'AcceptPathInfo OFF' during internal redirects,
such as per-directory mod_rewrite substitutions. PR 50349.
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_mem_cache: Add a debug msg when a streaming response exceeds
MCacheMaxStreamingBuffer, since mod_cache will follow up with a scary
'memory allocation failed' debug message. PR 49604. [Eric Covener]
*) proxy_connect: Don't give up in the middle of a CONNECT tunnel
when the child process is starting to exit. PR50220. [Eric Covener]
