API for the setting of server and client SSL certificates. Replaced
LDAPTrustedCA directive with LDAPTrustedGlobalCert and
LDAPTrustedClientCert directives to correctly support global certs
(CA certs / Netware client certs) and per connection client certs
as supported by Netware, OpenLDAP and Netscape/Mozilla.

[Tim Taylor <tim.taylor dfas.mil>]
*) --with-module can now take more than one module to be statically
linked: --with-module=<modtype>:<modfile>,<modtype>:<modfile>,...
If the <modtype>-subdirectory doesn't exist it will be created and
populated with a standard Makefile.in. [Erik Abele]
*) Remove some compiler warnings within the LDAP modules [Graham Leggett]

[William Rowe]
*) mod_proxy: Fix a request corruption problem and a buffering problem
which sometimes prevented proxy-sendchunks from working.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the RPM spec file so that an RPM build now works. An RPM
build now requires system installations of APR and APR-util.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Significantly simplify the load balancer scheduling algorithm
for the proxy BalancerMember weighting. loadfactors (lbfactors)
are now normalized with respect to each other. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_dumpio: Added to the available module suite; it is an
I/O logging/dumping module. Placed in the (new) debug module
subdirectory. mod_bucketeer moved to that directory as well.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) core: Add support for APR_TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT to defer accepting
of a connection until data is available.
[Paul Querna]
Changes with Apache 2.1.2

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]
*) Add ap_log_cerror() for logging messages associated with particular
client connections. [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

headers, pass that to the proxy. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) 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]

[Paul Querna]
*) mod_autoindex: Add ShowForbidden to IndexOptions to list files
that are not shown because the subrequest returned 401 or 403.

to enable Header and RequestHeader directives to be used to set up
testcases for pre-fixups request phases [Nick Kew]

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]

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:

and ap_process_resource_config. [André Malo]
*) mod_headers: Allow %% in header values to represent a literal %.
[André Malo]

"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).

*) Add core version query function (ap_get_server_revision) and
accompanying ap_version_t structure (minor MMN bump).
[André Malo]

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]

the [handler=...] flag. [André Malo]

*) 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

[chunyan sheng <shengperson yahoo.com>, André Malo]
