first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
*) Allow absolute pathnames in the -socket argument.
*) Don't invoke suexec when the user/group for the fastcgi application
is the same as the apache main server. This is consistent with
apache's suexec handling.
*) Reset the apache drop dead timer upon successful read or writes
to/from the client. This eliminates timeouts that were occuring
during the large file transfers to/from slow clients.
*) Support generic wrappers such as cgiwrap by eliminating dependencies
on Apache's SUEXEC, renaming the FastCgiSuexec directive
FastCgiWrapper and eliminating any checks regarding the target
application (this is the repsonibility of the wrapper).
*) Fix a nasty bug that occurred when a client aborted a POST request
before the connection to a dynamic FastCGI application was opened.
Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.8
*) Eliminate the concept of disabled applications. If a failure
occurs trying to setup an application (e.g. bind() error) its
tried repeatedly every init-start-delay seconds.
*) Tweak to Makefile.tmpl to support DSOs. Dave Hill [ddhill@zk3.dec.com]
Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.6
*) Shutdown the PM when Apache appears to have disappeared.
*) seteuid() tweak for HP-UX 11. Milton L. Hankins [mlh@swl.msd.ray.com]
*) Increase the number of open FDs we look to close when spawning apps.
*) Prevent an assert from popping unnecessarily.
*) Added support for blocking connect()s by setting appConnTimeout to 0.
Non-blocking connect()s (the default) can be troublesome on some platforms.
*) Wrap the SIGPIPE handler manipulation code such that it is only applicable
to Apache releases prior to 1.3.6.
*) Minor tweaks for RUSSIAN_APACHE.
*) Dynamic updates:
Always restart a failed dynamic application if it is the last instance.
This means there once started there will always be at least one process
instance of a dynamic application.
Send PLEASE_START to the PM when a connect() results in an ECONNREFUSED.
ECONNREFUSED means the listen queue is full (or there isn't one). Asking
the PM to start (another) application instance may help empty it faster.
Change two sleep() calls to select() based snoozes because alarm() is in
effect and sleep() and alarm() don't always play nice together.
*) Fix -listen-queue-depth arg on FastCgiConfig (dynamic). Previously it
was ignored and the default was always used.
*) Allow the -initial-env argument to be used to pass variables from the
Apache process environment to the FastCGI server (by specifying a
variable name without the "=" or a value).
*) Improved script stderr handling.
*) Changed the default listen-queue-depth (FCGI_DEFAULT_LISTEN_Q) from
5 to 100. Its still configurable with the -listen-queue-depth option.
*) Fix a bug in FastCgiExternalServer that broke support for external servers
on other hosts.
