set of pool cleanups attached to a subpool, which is destroyed on error.

[Graham Leggett]

*) mod_cache: Change the signature of the store_body() provider function

within the mod_cache provider interface to support an "in" brigade

and an "out" brigade instead of just a single input brigade. This

gives a cache provider the option to consume only part of the brigade

passed to it, rather than the whole brigade as was required before.

*) mod_lbmethod_heartbeat: New module to load balance mod_proxy workers

based on heartbeats. [Paul Querna]

*) mod_heartmonitor: New module to collect heartbeats, and write out a file

so that other modules can load balance traffic as needed. [Paul Querna]

*) mod_heartbeat: New module to generate multicast heartbeats to know if a

server is online. [Paul Querna]

*) mod_buffer: Honour the flush bucket and flush the buffer in the

input filter. Make sure that metadata buckets are written to

the buffer, not to the final brigade. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_buffer: Optimise the buffering of heap buckets when the heap

buckets stay exactly APR_BUCKET_BUFF_SIZE long. [Graham Leggett,

Ruediger Pluem]

*) mod_buffer: Optional support for buffering of the input and output

filter stacks. Can collapse many small buckets into fewer larger

buckets, and prevents excessively small chunks being sent over

the wire. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_privileges: new module to make httpd on Solaris privileges-aware

and to enable different virtualhosts to run with different

privileges and Unix user/group IDs [Nick Kew]

*) mod_mem_cache: this module has been removed. [William Rowe]

*) authn/z: Remove mod_authn_default and mod_authz_default.

*) mod_auth_form: Make sure that basic authentication is correctly

faked directly after login. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_cookie, mod_session_dbd: Make sure cookies are set both

within the output headers and error output headers, so that the

session is maintained across redirects. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_auth_form: Make sure the logged in user is populated correctly

after a form login. Fixes a missing REMOTE_USER variable directly

following a login. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_cookie: Make sure that cookie attributes are correctly

included in the blank cookie when cookies are removed. This fixes an

inability to log out when using mod_auth_form. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session: Prevent a segfault when a CGI script sets a cookie with a

null value. [David Shane Holden <dpejesh apache.org>]

*) core, authn/z: Determine registered authn/z providers directly in

ap_setup_auth_internal(), which allows optional functions that just

wrapped ap_list_provider_names() to be removed from authn/z modules.

[Chris Darroch]

*) authn/z: Convert common provider version strings to macros.

[Chris Darroch]

*) core: When testing for slash-terminated configuration paths in

ap_location_walk(), don't look past the start of an empty string

such as that created by a <Location ""> directive.

[Chris Darroch]

*) core, mod_proxy: If a kept_body is present, it becomes safe for

subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety

checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered

when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed

proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set

up before reading the login form. Make sure the kept body filter

is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second

time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,

Ruediger Pluem]

*) mod_request: Insert the KEPT_BODY filter via the insert_filter

hook instead of during fixups. Add a safety check to ensure the

filters cannot be inserted more than once. [Graham Leggett,

Ruediger Pluem]

*) ap_cache_cacheable_headers_out() will (now) always

merge an error headers _before_ clearing them and _before_

merging in the actual entity headers and doing normal

hop-by-hop cleansing. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

*) cache: retire ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out() which was used

for both in- and out-put headers; and replace it by a single

ap_cache_cacheable_headers() wrapped in a in- and out-put

specific ap_cache_cacheable_headers_in()/out(). The latter

which will also merge error and ensure content-type. To keep

cache modules consistent with ease. This API change bumps

up the minor MM by one [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

*) Move the KeptBodySize directive, kept_body filters and the

ap_parse_request_body function out of the http module and into a

new module called mod_request, reducing the size of the core.

[Graham Leggett]

*) mod_dbd: Handle integer configuration directive parameters with a

dedicated function.

*) Change the directives within the mod_session* modules to be valid

both inside and outside the location/directory sections, as

suggested by wrowe. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_auth_form: Add a module capable of allowing end users to log

in using an HTML form, storing the credentials within mod_session.

[Graham Leggett]

*) Add a function to the http filters that is able to parse an HTML

form request with the type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

[Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_crypto: Initialise SSL in the post config hook.

[Ruediger Pluem, Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_dbd: Add a session implementation capable of storing

session information in a SQL database via the dbd interface. Useful

for sites where session privacy is important. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_crypto: Add a session encoding implementation capable

of encrypting and decrypting sessions wherever they may be stored.

Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the

browser. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session_cookie: Add a session implementation capable of storing

session information within cookies on the browser. Useful for high

volume sites where server bound sessions are too resource intensive.

[Graham Leggett]

*) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different

attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.

[Graham Leggett]

*) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests

with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to

original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests

with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or

providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.

Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration

which can accept additional mode and flag data. [Chris Darroch]

*) Introduced ap_expr API for expression evaluation.

This is adapted from mod_include, which is the first module

to use the new API.

[Nick Kew]

*) mod_authz_dbd: When redirecting after successful login/logout per

AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use

first row returned by database query instead of last row.

*) Also install mod_so.h, mod_rewrite.h and mod_cache.h; as these

third party module authors. PR 42431 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].

*) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information

to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used

as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for

mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.

[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]

*) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)

for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct

*) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of

AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile

location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]

*) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select

into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings

mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string

value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name

may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing

weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]

*) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]

*) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets

the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE

bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
