recovered when using lbmethod_bybusyness. PR 48735. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_dumpio: Properly handle errors from subsequent input filters.
PR 52914. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mpm_worker: Fix cases where the spawn rate wasn't reduced after child
process resource shortages. [Jeff Trawick]

unexpected poll or accept failure. [Jeff Trawick]
*) core: Adjust ap_scan_script_header_err*() to prevent mod_cgi and mod_cgid
from logging bogus data in case of errors. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_disk_cache, mod_mem_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the

Resolve additional cases of URL rewriting with ProxyPassMatch or
RewriteRule, where particular request-URIs could result in undesired
backend network exposure in some configurations.
[Joe Orton]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-0021 (cve.mitre.org)

chars; all other vars will be fixed. This has the benefit that now also
all vars from 3rd-party modules will be fixed. PR 13029 / 34985.
[Guenter Knauf]
*) core: Fix hook sorting for Perl modules, a regression introduced in
2.2.21. PR: 45076. [Torsten Foertsch <torsten foertsch gmx net>]

in the case Ranges are being ignored with MaxRanges none.
[Eric Covener]

of ap_unescape_url_keep2f(). This release restores the signature from
2.2.17 and prior, and introduces ap_unescape_url_keep2f_ex().
[Eric Covener]
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

to data from clients continuing being treated as a new request.
PR 47087. [Nick Kew]

platforms. Crypt with its 8 character limit is not useful anymore;
improve out of disk space handling (PR 30877); print a warning if

[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]

will dump the filenames of all configured SSL certificates to stdout.
[Joe Orton]
*) mod_disk_cache: Remove a bunch of non-implemented garbage collection
and cache size directives that are now available through htcacheclean.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Add htcacheclean to support/ for assistance with mod_disk_cache.
[Andreas Steinmetz]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Added the directive "Requires ldap-filter" that
allows the module to authorize a user based on a complex LDAP
search filter. [Brad Nicholes]
*) mod_usertrack: Run the fixups hook before other modules.
PR 29755. [Paul Querna]
*) Allow mod_authnz_ldap authorization functionality to be used
without requiring the user to also be authenticated through
mod_authnz_ldap. This allows other authentication modules to
take advantage of LDAP authorization only [PR 28253]
[Jari Ahonen jah progress.com, Brad Nicholes]
*) Log the client IP address when an error occurs disabling nagle on a
connection, but log at a severity of debug since this error
generally means that the connection was dropped before data was
sent. Log the client IP address when reporting errors in the core
output filter. [Jeff Trawick]
*) core: Add a warning message if the request line read fails.
[Paul Querna]
*) mod_rewrite: Removed the MaxRedirects option in favor of the
core LimitInternalRecursion directive. [André Malo]

*) Recognize QSA flag in mod_rewrite again.
[Jan Kratochvil <rcpt-dev.AT.httpd.apache.org jankratochvil.net>]
*) Restructured mod_auth_ldap to fit the new authentication model.
The module is now called authnz_ldap and has been moved out of
the modules/experimental area and into modules/aaa with the other
auth modules. Both the authn_ldap provider and the authz_ldap
handler are contained within the authnz_ldap module. The
authz_ldap handler introduces 3 new "requires" values for handling
authorization. These handlers are ldap-user, ldap-group and
ldap-dn. [Brad Nicholes]

*) mod_proxy.c and proxy_util.c: Enable compiling on 2.0-HEAD
(for backwards compatibility):
Avoids mod_ssl.h (not included in 2.0-HEAD) and
use apr_socket_create_ex for 0.9.x
[Mladen Turk]
*) Added proxy_ajp.c module for proxy support to ajp:// backends.
[Jean Frederic Clere]
*) Fixes the build of proxy on Windows. Since the proxy_module is declared
as extern using AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA that expands to dllexport, there
is a LNK2001 error when building proxy_http. [Mladen Turk]
*) Remove LDAP toolkit specific code from util_ldap and mod_auth_ldap.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Remove deprecated/removed APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS(). [Justin Erenkrantz]

allow a non-secure connection to be upgraded to secure connections
[Brad Nicholes]
*) core: Add Options= syntax to AllowOverride to specify which options
may be overridden in .htaccess files. PR 29310.
[Tom Alsberg <alsbergt cs.huji.ac.il>, Paul Querna]

PR 28204. [Erik Weide <erik.weidel mplus-technologies.de>, Paul Querna]
*) mod_so, core: Add new command line options to print all loaded
modules. '-t -D DUMP_MODULES' and '-M' will show all static
and shared modules as loaded from the configuration file.
[Paul Querna]
*) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403.
PR 10575. [Paul Querna]
*) mod_headers: implement "Early" processing option in post_read_request
to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]
*) mod_proxy: multiple bugfixes, principally support cookies in
ProxyPassReverse, and don't canonicalise URL passed to backend.
Documentation correspondingly updated. [Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
*) mod_deflate: support gzip flags in inflate_out_filter
[Nick Kew <nick webthing.com>]
*) Drop the ErrorHeader directive which turned out to be a misnomer.
Instead there's a new optional flag for the Header directive
('always'), which keeps the former ErrorHeader functionality.
[André Malo]
*) mod_deflate: Don't deflate responses with zero length
e.g. proxied 304's [Allan Edwards]
*) <IfModule> now recognizes the module identifier in addition to the
file name. PR 29003. [Edward Rudd <eddie omegaware.com>, André Malo]
*) mod_ssl: Add "SSLHonorCipherOrder" directive to enable the
OpenSSL 0.9.7 flag which uses the server's cipher order rather
than the client's. PR 28665.
[Jim Schneider <jschneid netilla.com>]
*) mod_ssl: Drop support for the CompatEnvVars argument to
SSLOptions, which was never actually implemented in 2.0.
[Joe Orton]
*) Fix bug in mod_deflate that unconditionally sent deflate'd output
even when Accept-Encoding is not present. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Pass environment variables through to piped loggers and start
them via the shell, resolving regressions since 1.3. PR 28815
[Ken Coar, Jeff Trawick]
*) External rewrite map responses are no longer limited to 2048
bytes. [André Malo]
*) Proxy server was deleting cookies that Apache had already
assigned if the origin server had set any cookies. PR 27023.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Removed old and unmaintained ap_add_named_module API and changed
the following APIs to return an error instead of hard exiting:
ap_add_module, ap_add_loaded_module, ap_setup_prelinked_modules,
and ap_process_resource_config. [André Malo]
*) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
[André Malo]
*) mod_headers: Allow env clauses also for 'echo' and 'unset' actions.
[André Malo]
*) mod_headers: Allow 'echo' also for ErrorHeaders. [André Malo]
*) mod_deflate: New option for DEFLATE output file (force-gzip),
new output filter 'INFLATE' for uncompressing responses.
[Nick Kew <Nick at WebThing dot com>, Ian Holsman]
*) Added new module mod_version, which provides version dependent
configuration containers. [André Malo]
*) mod_log_config now logs all Set-Cookie headers if the %{Set-Cookie}o
format is used. PR 27787. [André Malo]
*) Allow Digest providers to return AUTH_DENIED to propagate a 401
status and terminate the provider chain prior to checking the password.
[Geoffrey Young]
*) mod_cgid: Don't allow Scriptsock to be specified inside VirtualHost;
Don't place script socket inside default server root instead of
actual server root. PR 27886. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_proxy: Fix handling of non-200 success status codes when
"ProxyErrorOverride On" is configured. PR 20183.
[Marcus Janson <marcus.janson tre.se>, Joe Orton]
*) Threaded MPMs for Unix and Win32: Add support for ThreadStackSize
directive (previously NetWare-only) to override default thread
stack size for threads which handle client connections. Required
for some third-party modules on platforms with small default
thread stack size. [Jeff Trawick]
*) minor mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest sync. mod_auth_basic
now populates r->user with the (possibly unauthenticated) user,
and mod_auth_digest returns 500 when a provider returns
AUTH_GENERAL_ERROR.
[Geoffrey Young]
*) The whole codebase was relicensed and is now available under
the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses).
[Apache Software Foundation]

"make clean" processing. PR 26552. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: EOLs sent by external rewritemaps are now consumed
as whole. That way, on systems with more than one EOL character
rewritemap programs no longer need to switch stdout to binary
mode. PR 25635. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the ability to force a content handler via
the [handler=...] flag. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Introduce the RewriteCond -x check, which returns
true if the pattern is a file with execution permissions.
[André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow proxying and RewriteRules in directory context
for subrequests. PR 14648, 15114. [André Malo]

attaches a body to the 302 response and a wrong Content-Length header.
PR: 22951 [Ermanno Scaglione scaglione ..at.. starnetone.de]
*) Bring ErrorHeader concept forward from 1.3, so that response
header fields can be set for return even on errors or external
redirects. [Ken Coar]
*) Fix <Limit> and <LimitExcept> parsing to require a closing '>'
in the initial container. PR 25414.

*) Log an error when requests for URIs which fail to map to a valid
filesystem name are rejected with 403. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Switch to APR 1.0 API.
*) Major overhaul of mod_include's filter parser. The new parser code
is expected to be more robust and should catch all of the edge cases
that were not handled by the previous one. This includes a binary
incompatible change of mod_include's external API. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow forced mimetypes [T=...] to get expanded.
PR 14223. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Fix LA-U and LA-F lookups in directory context. Previously
the current rewrite state was just used as lookup path, which lead to
strange and often useless results. Related to PR 8493. [André Malo]

type feature [T=...] no longer disable MultiViews. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Allow piped rewrite logs to be relative to ServerRoot.
[André Malo]
*) mod_authz_groupfile: Strip trailing spaces of group names. This
hopefully saves some hours of searching for typos. PR 12863.
[André Malo]
*) mod_actions: Propagate the handler name to the action script via
the REDIRECT_HANDLER environment variable. [André Malo]
*) mod_actions: Introduce the "virtual" modifier to the Action directive,
which allows the use of handlers for virtual locations. PR 8431.
[André Malo]

the INCLUDE path to be defined properly.
PR 11310. [Geoff Thorpe <geoff geoffthorpe.net>]
*) Modify APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT to detect SSL-C. [Madhusudan Mathihalli]

[Ian Holsman]
*) Forward port of mod_actions' ability to handle arbitrary methods
with the Script directive. [André Malo]
*) Let suexec send a message to stderr, if it failed or its policy
was violated. This message appears in the error log and allows
for easier debugging. PR 5381, 7638, 8255, 10773. [André Malo]
