Changelog:
This is mostly a bugfix release.
This version created by taking patches from the current development branch and
back-porting them on top of version 0.9.76.
The most notable changes are: some improvements for Digest and Basic
authorizations, fixed efficiency for TLS upgraded connections, fixed
processing of folded headers in requests, fixed functionality with blocking
sockets, improved and fixed internal test-suite.
The more detailed list of the important changes:
API changes:
+ Added new function MHD_get_version_bin().
Improvements and enhancements:
* Digest Auth: changed algorithm identifiers in server generated headers from
"md5" / "sha-256" to "MD5" / "SHA-256" to better match RFC (while clients
should use caseless matching).
* Improved Base64 decoding by new implementation with robust input data
validation checks.
* Improved configure for cross-compiling, for better compatibility with POSIX
and for better compatibility with the latest compiler versions.
* New internal tests: for Base64 decoding, Basic Auth and folded headers.
* Supported new libcurl API in tests to mute deprecation warnings.
* Supported ARM and ARM64 for VC compilers.
Functionality changes:
* any negative number returned by response data generation callback function
is treated as an error. Previously negative values except predefined error
codes could produce undefined behaviour.
* Added handling of "DEBUG" preprocessor macro as an alias of "_DEBUG".
Fixes:
# Fixed functionality with blocking sockets.
# Fixed very inefficient data pumping for upgraded TLS connections.
# Fixed processing of folded headers in the requests.
# Fixed data races when closing upgraded connection.
# Removed duplication of "Connection: upgrade" header.
# Digest auth: fixed thread sync to avoid "stale hash" results.
# Fixed harmless unwanted extra data processing resulting in triggering of the
assert.
# Fixed tests for LTO.
# Removed removed non-portable functions in examples.
# Fixed delayed call of connection notification callback in
thread-per-connection mode.
# Fixed Address Sanitizer unpoison of memory when memory pool is destroyed.
This fixed periodic ASAN error when used for a long time with the sanitizer.
# Fixed compiler warnings in library code, examples, tests and configure
checks.
# New TLS certificates for test-suite: all with SAN fields and SHA-256 hash.
# Tests: fixed tests on Darwin 22.x (Ventura).
# Tests: redesigned one tests group to avoid stress-testing of the OS.

August 2021
Silently drop "keep-alive" token from response "connection" header,
"keep-alive" cannot be enforced and always enabled if possible.
Further improved doxy for MHD_add_response_header().
Added detection of the "Date:" header in the response headers set by

to be closed. -AI
Minor improvement for test_callback, test_get_chunked
Fixed chunked responses with known size.
Added two more tests for chunked response.
Fixed chunked responses with predefined data (without data callback).
Fixed calculation of the buffer size for the next response chunk.
Completely rewritten reply header build function. The old version
had several levels of hacks, was unmaintainable, did not follow
HTTP specification in details; fixed used caseless header matching
where case-sensitive matching must be used; removed two passes of
header building. New version use clear logic and can be extended
when needed.
Changed behaviour: "Connection: keep-alive" is not being sent
for HTTP/1.1 connection (as per HTTP RFC).
test_get_chunked: fixed error reporting.
HTTPS tests: fixed memory leaks if function failed.
libcurl tests: improved handling of curl multi_*.
Added two tests for correct choice of "Keep-Alive" or "Close".
Simplified Makefile for testcurl.
Fixed select() error handling in tests.
microhttpd.h: minor macro formatting
Changed behaviour: if response size is unknown and chunked encoding is
allowed, chunked encoding is used even for non-keep-alive connection as
required by HTTP RFC.
Added two more tests for chunked replies.
Simplified keepalive_possible(); added new value for MHD_ConnKeepAlive,
added third state "Upgrade".
Changed behaviour: used HTTP/1.1 replies for HTTP/1.0 requests as
required by HTTP RFC. HTTP/1.0 reply still can be enforced by response
flag.
Added more doxy for MHD_ResponseFlags, added new names with the same
values as old names: MHD_RF_HTTP_1_0_COMPATIBLE_STRICT and
MHD_RF_HTTP_1_0_SERVER.
Added new value MHD_RF_SEND_KEEP_ALIVE_HEADER to enforce sending of
"Connection: keep-alive" even for HTTP/1.1 clients when keep-alive is
used.
test_get_close_keep_alive: added more combinations of parameters to
check.
Added separate flag for chunked response in connection instead of
reusing the same flag as for chunked request.
Added new connection's flag "stop_with_error".
Fixed empty first line processing: the request could be not processed
unless something else kicks next processing the same connection again.
Added new connection states: MHD_CONNECTION_REQ_LINE_RECEIVING,
MHD_CONNECTION_FULL_REQ_RECEIVED, MHD_CONNECTION_START_REPLY to
simplify states logic.
Changed write buffer allocation logic: as connection buffer size is
known and fixed, use initially use full buffer for writing and reduce
size of part used for writing if another allocation from the same
buffer needs to be done. Implemented helper function to automatically
reduce the size of read or write part to allocate buffer for other
needs.
Added define of NDEBUG if neither _DEBUG nor NDEBUG are defined.
As accepted sockets inherit non-blocking flag from listening socket
on all platform except Linux, track this state to use less number
of syscalls.
Fixed compiler and static analyser warnings.
Moved HTTPS tests helper file to the HTTPS tests directory.
Minor Makefiles cleanup.
Added support for new monotonic clock ids.
Added new internal monotonic clock function with milliseconds accuracy.
Fixed support of custom connection timeout in thread-per-connection mode.
Added more error checking to test_timeout.
microhttpd.h: removed duplicated macro.
Refined timeouts handling. Switched from seconds resolution to milliseconds
resolution, added automatic detection and support of low-resolution system
clock to avoid busy-waiting at connection expiration. Added log message
for too large timeout period (> 146 million years) with trim to supported
values. -EG
Wed 04 Aug 2021 06:56:52 PM CEST
Introduce new MHD_CONNECTION_INFO_HTTP_STATUS. -CG
July 2021

Changed MSVC project defaults to Vista+ (WinXP is still supported).
Fixed copy-paste error in mhd_aligh.h, added support for MSVC.
Added internal function for printing hex and decimals numbers.
Reply chunked body handling fixes, used new internal functions
instead of snprintf().
Added automatic response flag when app sets chunked encoding header.
New internal function for chunked reply footer forming. Unification with
reply header forming function just over-complicated things and made
function hardly maintainable.
Added new function MHD_get_reason_phrase_len_for(), related tests and
updated scripts for response phrases.
Added more tests for chunked replies.
Added function to reset connection state after finishing processing of
request-reply to prepare for the next request.
Added even more tests for chunked replies.

Released GNU libmicrohttpd 0.9.73
This release brings new features, improvements, and a few fixes.
The most important addition is the new function for vector-backed
responses, based on the patch contributed by NASA engineers.
Other changes include compatibility with autoconf 2.70+, improved
testsuite compatibility with CI systems, fixed and improved MSVC
builds, and implemention of ALPN support.
More detailed list of notable changes:
API changes:
+ Added new function MHD_create_response_from_iovec(), based on the
patch provided by Lawrence Sebald and Damon N. Earp from NASA.
+ Added MHD_OPTION_SIGPIPE_HANDLED_BY_APP daemon option.
+ Added new function MHD_run_wait().
+ Added MHD_OPTION_TLS_NO_ALPN to disable usage of ALPN even if
it is supported by TLS library.
New features:
+ Added '--enable-heavy-tests' configure parameter (disabled by
default).
+ Implemented support for ALPN.
Improvements and enhancements:
* Return timeout of zero also for connections awaiting cleanup.
* Compatibility with autoconf >=2.70, used new autoconf features.
* Warn user when custom logger option is not the first option.
* Added information to the header about minimal MHD version when
particular symbols were introduced.
* Updated test certificates to be compatible with modern browsers.
* Added on-fly detection of UNIX domain sockets and pipes, MHD does
not try to use TCP/IP-specific socket options on them.
* Report more detailed error description in the MHD log for send
and receive errors.
* Enabled bind port autodetection for MSVC builds.
Fixes:
# Fix PostProcessor to always properly stop iteration when
application callback tells it to do so.
# Fixed MD5 digest authorization broken when compiled without
variable length arrays support (notably with MSVC).
# Fixed detection of type of send errors on W32.

Wed 08 Apr 2020 10:53:01 PM CEST
Introduce `enum MHD_Result` for #MHD_YES/#MHD_NO to avoid using 'int' so much.
Note that this change WILL cause compiler warnings until (most) MHD callbacks
in application code change their return type from 'int' to 'enum MHD_Result'.

the code more robust in the future. For conditional compilation, test
for "MHD_VERSION >= 0x00097002". -CG

FreeBSD, Debian Linux, NetBSD, and cygwin. In particular,
this adds selective usage of MSG_MORE, NODELAY, TCP_NOPUSH,
TCP_CORK. -ng0

* Large memory pools on W32 are cleared more securely after use,
optimised usage of system memory.
Better handled connection's memory shortage situations:
* error response could be sent to client even if all buffer space
was used;
* if buffer space become low when receiving, do not allocate last
buffer space and use small receive blocks instead.
Improved sending speed by using all available buffer space for
sending. -EG

Improved connection processing in epoll mode: now connection can process
both read and write each turn.
Updated HTTP response codes; updated and added all missing standard HTTP
headers names (and headers categories); updated and added all missing
standard and additional HTTP methods. Now MHD return status
MHD_HTTP_REQUEST_HEADER_FIELDS_TOO_LARGE (431) instead of old
MHD_HTTP_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE (413) for very long header.
Reworked handling of data pending in TLS buffers, resolved busy-waiting
if incoming data is pending in TLS buffers and connection is in
LOOP_INFO_WRITE mode.
Do not clear 'ready' flag in epoll mode if send()/recv() result is
EINTERRUPTED.
Better detection of unready connection state: used less number of calls of
recv()/send() in epoll mode.
Configure: do not run gcrypt and GnuTLS tests if HTTPS is disabled by
configure parameter.
Fixed wrong value returned by MHD_get_timeout().
All double-linked lists now walked from tail to head. As new items are
added to head, this result in more uniform processing time.
Improved sockets errors handling in epoll mode.
OOB data on 'upgraded' sockets is treated as error. -EG
Thu Feb 16 11:20:05 CET 2017
Replace tsearch configure check with code from gnulib. -CG

thread-per-connection operations during shutdown.
Various minor cosmetic improvements.
Fixed#4884 and #4888 (solaris portability issues). -CG
Wed Feb 08 22:33:10 MSK 2016
Ported test_quiesce_stream to W32.
Improved precompiler flags selection of OpenBSD.
Fixed sending responses backed by files not supported by sendfile().
Fixed thread safety for responses backed by file FD.
Updated fileserver_example.
Improved handling of 'upgraded' TLS forwarding in select() and poll()
modes.
Fixed processing of incoming TLS data in epoll mode if more than 128
connections are active.
Fixed accepting more than 128 incoming connection in epoll mode.
Improved test_large_put, added poll() and epoll testing.
Added test_large_put_inc for testing of incremental buffer processing.
Rewritten epoll connection processing logic: handle all connection one
time per turn instead of trying to handle all active connection until all
pending data is dried. Result is more uniform connection processing
period. -EG
Wed Nov 23 15:24:10 MSK 2016
Used SO_REUSEADDR (on non-W32) alongside with SO_REUSEPORT if option
MHD_OPTION_LISTENING_ADDRESS_REUSE was set. -EG

Mon Nov 14 22:18:30 MSK 2016
Fixed unintentional usage of SO_REUSEADDR on W32.
Added support for SO_EXCLBIND on Solaris.
Fixed using MHD with MHD_OPTION_LISTENING_ADDRESS_REUSE
on Linux kernels before 3.9 (longterm 3.2 and 3.4
are still supported). -EG
Sun Nov 13 19:16:38 CET 2016
Fixed a few race issues on suspend-resume in cases where the
application uses threads even though MHD did not (or at least
had no internal need for locking). Also fixed DLL handling of
the timeout list, avoiding manipulating it for suspended
connections. Finally, eliminated calling application logic
on suspended connections (which before could happen under
certain circumstances). -CG
Thu Nov 11 20:49:23 MSK 2016
Added support for various forms of
pthread_attr_setname_np() so thread names will be set

automatic selection of polling function depending on
platform capabilities and requested mode. -EG
Thu Nov 10 17:49:56 MSK 2016
Ported "upgrade" tests to W32 and other platforms, used
"gnutls-cli" instead of "openssl" in tests, minor bugs
fixed, added verbose reporting if requested.
"Upgrade" processing - changed internal handling logic, improved
and refactored, bugs fixed, fixed sigpipe on Darwin, added
printing error to log, fixed compilation without HTTPS.
Added 'configure' parameter "--disable-httpupgrade" for building
minimal-sized MHD versions.
Added feature check "MHD_FEATURE_UPGRADE".
Responses destroyed (freed) earlier if possible.
Added many remarks in code comments about thread safety.
Some data races and other multithread-related issues are fixed,
including usage of closed sockets (may resulted in accidental closing
of wrong socket).
SO_NOSIGPIPE is used on all platform which support it, not only
on Darwin.
Added support for suspending connections in thread-per-connection
mode (itself almost useless, mostly to unify modes support).
Fixed Inter-Thread Communication channel usage in epoll modes.
Reworked daemon cleanups and handling MHD_stop_daemon(): resources
are freed only by specific threads, data races and other fixes.
Started usage of C99 standard 'bool' where supported with
fallback to 'int'.
Renamed many MHD flags. Now they are self-explainable and more
obvious, like MHD_USE_INTERNAL_POLLING_THREAD instead of
MHD_USE_SELECT_INTERNALLY. Old flag names are supported for
backward compatibility.
Improved processing of "fast" connections: now full sequence
"read request - send reply headers - send reply body" is processed
after single select()/poll(). If connection is slow, request is huge
or response in not immediately ready - connection will be processed
in "traditional" way.
Added usage of "calloc()" where supported.
Minor documentation fixes.
Minor improvements and fixes. -EG
"Upgrade" test fixes.
Documentation updated.
Added HTTP "Upgrade" example. -CG

communication (channels)/ITCs', as code can use different types
of communications.
Optimizations: ITCs now always created in non-blocking mode.
Added configure parameter to choose ITC type.
Updated documentation and comments.
Minor errors fixed (related to heavy load). -EG
Thu Sep 22 17:51:04 CEST 2016
Implementing support for eventfd() instead of pipe() for
signaling (on platforms that support it); fixing #3557. -CG
Thu Sep 22 11:03:43 CEST 2016
Simplify internal error handling logic by folding it into the

Adding a few extra safety checks around HTTP "Upgrade"
(against wrong uses of API), and a testcase. -CG
Sat Aug 27 20:07:53 CEST 2016
Adding completely *untested* logic for HTTP "Upgrade"
handling. -CG
Sat Aug 27 18:20:38 CEST 2016
Releasing libmicrohttpd 0.9.51. -CG
Tue Aug 23 22:54:07 MSK 2016
Internal refactoring: W32 compatibility layer was finally
replaced with several specialized abstraction layers for
sockets, control pipes (inter-thread communication) and
generic functions. Now all major platform functions
(including threads and mutex) are implemented in thin
abstraction layers.
Improved performance on W32 due to eliminating
translation of error to POSIX codes and using W32 codes
directly (through macros).
Improved error reporting on all platforms.
Improved error handling and reporting on Darwin.
Minor fixes. -EG
Tue Aug 16 15:14:30 MSK 2016
Minor improvement for monotonic clock.
Minor configure fix for non-bash shells. -EG
Mon Aug 15 13:06:52 CEST 2016
Fixed possible crash due to write to read-only region of
memory given ill-formed HTTP request (write was otherwise
harmless, writing 0 to where there was already a 0).
Fixed issue with closed connection slots not immediately
being available again for new connections if we reached
our connection limit.
Avoid even accept()ing connections in certain thread modes
if we are at the connection limit and
MHD_USE_PIPE_FOR_SHUTDOWN is available. -CG
Wed Aug 10 16:42:57 MSK 2016
Moved threads, locks and mutex abstraction to separate files,
some minor errors fixed, added support for thread name functions
on various platforms, added configure flag for disable thread
naming. -EG
Sat Jul 23 20:45:51 CEST 2016
Added macro detection of speed/size compiler optimization.
Added different implementation of functions in mhd_str.c for
size optimization. Enabled automatically if compiler size
optimization is detected or MHD_FAVOR_SMALL_CODE is defined.
Added unit tests for all mhd_str.c functions. -EG
Sat Jul 16 21:54:49 CEST 2016

Mon May 2 06:08:26 CEST 2016
Adding logic to help address FE performance issue as
discussed on the mailinglist with subject
"single-threaded daemon, multiple pending requests, responses batched".
The new logic is only enabled when MHD_USE_EPOLL_TURBO is set.
Note that some additional refactoring was also done to clean up
the code and avoid code duplication, which may have actually fixed
an unrelated issue with HTTPS and a POLL-style event loop. -CG
Sat Apr 30 10:22:37 CEST 2016
Added clarifications to manual based on questions on list. -CG
Sat Apr 23 20:12:01 CET 2016

functions - should improve security.
Ignored specific errors in 'test_post' test until libcurl
will implement workaround for WinSock bug.
Fixed handling of caller-supplied socket with
MHD_OPTION_LISTEN_SOCKET (regression in 0.9.49).
Minor fixes.
Various cosmetics and comments fixes. -EG
