Various HTTP workarounds and minor corrections
synopsis This patch works around certain broken HTTP servers
(reportedly IIS-5) who incorrectly signals the use of
persistent connections. It also corrects some minor
HTTP issues to make the Squid proxy more semantically
transparent.

Changes:
New in version 2.25b:
* Move fdwatch initialization before the chroot, so that
/dev/poll can work.
* Multiple fdwatch cleanups and fixes (Adam Zell).
New in version 2.25:
* Prohibit "Host: ." and "Host: .." (David Leadbeater).
* Don't free memory prematurely on SIGUSR1 (A.D.F.).
* Use the specified charset in directory listings and errors
(Jonas Ohlsson).
* Lowered THROTTLE_TIME from 60 seconds to 2 seconds, plus more
aggressive computation of sending rate, to improve throttle
reaction time (E Frank Ball).
* Added code to redistribute the throttled bandwidth fairly among
the currently sending connections.
* Some more throttling changes that smooth things out a lot.
* Added an experimental limitation on the number of simultaneous CGIs.
* Chown the log file when starting as root, so that it can later be
re-opened when running as nobody (or whatever user you configure).
Also tweak the logfile pathname so that it still works inside a
chroot tree.
* Make sure URL paths begin with a slash.
* Generate multiple MIME encodings in the correct order, and with the
correct separator.
* Ignore EINTR on read() and write().
* Fix error in httpd_read_fully() and httpd_write_fully() that could
cause incorrect data to be read or written (Daniel Jensen).
* Don't attempt to double-free a file descriptor if a connection times
out while it is paused for throttling.
* Save and restore errno in signal handlers.
* The non-local referer check is no longer fooled by URLs with query
strings.
* Simplified handling of HAVE_INT64T (Trisk). If this causes problems,
e.g. if there are still systems which don't have "long long", we can
back out the change.
* Keep a list of free connection structs, instead of doing linear search
to find a free one (Adam Zell).
* Added config.h option FLUSH_LOG_EVERY_TIME - if it's turned off, the
log does not get fflushed after each request (Adam Zell).
* Multiple robustness improvements to the fdwatch module (Adam Zell).
* Added /dev/poll support to fdwatch (Adam Zell).
* Automatically add no-cache control header on error responses.
- New features and Fixes from release notes:
* One of the most requested Mozilla Mail features, an option to
separate the Recipient and Sender columns in the thread pane, has been
implemented.
* Another frequently requested MailNews feature, a preference for
placing the user's signature above the quoted text, has been added.
* "Remove from server after x days" has been implemented for POP3 mail
accounts.
* vCard support has been added to Mozilla Mail.
* Mozilla 1.6 includes a new cross-platform NTLM authentication
mechanism. This feature brings NTLM authentication to the non-Windows
Mozilla users for the first time and also delivers more robust and
featureful NTLM support to users of older Windows versions.
* Ask Jeeves searching has been added to Mozilla 1.6.
* "Translate Page" functionality has returned to this release of Mozilla.
* The View Source window now has reload functionality.
* Several security-related bugs were fixed in 1.6
* Chatzilla 0.9.48 has been merged, which adds RPL_ISUPPORT support,
halfop mode support, and properly masks key and password dialogs.
* Many crash bugs have been fixed.
* One step closer to the kitchen sink, about:about has been
implemented. Typing about:about in the address field will give the
user a nice list of available about:s.
* The opacity implementation was completely revamped to properly
change the opacity of all descendants as a group.
* CSS inheritance has been updated to work per CSS2.1 (computed values
are inherited).
- pkgsrc specific changes
* add option to build with gtk2 (not completed yet)(from Jeremy C. Reed)
* make mathml optional (for MozillaThunderbird)

micro_httpd is a very small HTTP server. It runs from inetd, which means
its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's quite adequate.
It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including:
* Security against ".." filename snooping.
* The common MIME types.
* Trailing-slash redirection.
* index.html.
* Directory listings.
All in 150 lines of code.
Package by Bruce J.A. Nourish from pkgsrc-wip with several changes by me.
List of changes from 0.29:
- Fixed warning messages when textarea doesn't have a name attribute
- Updated required version number for HTML::Parser to 3.26 in Makefile.PL
- Fixed issue with HTML::Parser decoding high-bit entities, by setting
attr_encoded option, now requires HTML::Parser >= 3.26.
- Workaround for Opera 6.01/02 bug with selected radio boxes - place
space before ending "/>" in <input .. />
mozilla-bin/Makefile.common and mozilla-bin-nightly/Makefile.common.
the result is much less duplication and more consistent installations.
tested on NetBSD-current only (for now).
Package Collection.
It will allow administrators of the Apache 2 HTTP server to authenticate
users against a MySQL database. It comes from the RedHat distribution.
MozillaFirebird-gtk2-bin.
note that this is ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM Linux/i386 until we have
glibc-2.3.2 and gtk2 (and dependencies) for Linux in pkgsrc.
Mozilla Firebird is a free, open-source and cross-platform web browser
for Windows, Linux, MacOS X and many other operating systems. It is
small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web
browsers, such as tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up
windows.
Firebird also offers excellent bookmark and history management, and it
can be extended by developers using industry standards such as XML,
CSS, JavaScript, C++, etc. Many extensions are available.
