+ * have to get the same counter twice in the same second.
+ */
+
+/* Comments:
+ *
+ * We want an identifier which is unique across all hits, everywhere.
+ * "everywhere" includes multiple httpd instances on the same machine, or on
+ * multiple machines. Essentially "everywhere" should include all possible
+ * httpds across all servers at a particular "site". We make some assumptions
+ * that if the site has a cluster of machines then their time is relatively
+ * synchronized. We also assume that the first address returned by a
+ * gethostbyname (gethostname()) is unique across all the machines at the
+ * "site".
+ *
+ * The root is assumed to absolutely uniquely identify this one child
+ * from all other currently running children on all servers (including
+ * this physical server if it is running multiple httpds) from each
+ * other.
+ *
+ * The stamp and counter are used to distinguish all hits for a
+ * particular root. The stamp is updated using r->request_time,
+ * saving cpu cycles. The counter is never reset, and is used to
+ * permit up to 64k requests in a single second by a single child.
+ *
+ * The 144-bits of unique_id_rec are encoded using the alphabet
+ * [A-Za-z0-9@-], resulting in 24 bytes of printable characters. That is then
+ * stuffed into the environment variable UNIQUE_ID so that it is available to
+ * other modules. The alphabet choice differs from normal base64 encoding
+ * [A-Za-z0-9+/] because + and / are special characters in URLs and we want to
+ * make it easy to use UNIQUE_ID in URLs.
+ *
+ * Note that UNIQUE_ID should be considered an opaque token by other
+ * applications. No attempt should be made to dissect its internal components.
+ * It is an abstraction that may change in the future as the needs of this
+ * module change.
+ *
+ * It is highly desirable that identifiers exist for "eternity". But future
+ * needs (such as much faster webservers, or moving to a
+ * multithreaded server) may dictate a need to change the contents of
+ * unique_id_rec. Such a future implementation should ensure that the first
+ * field is still a time_t stamp. By doing that, it is possible for a site to
+ * have a "flag second" in which they stop all of their old-format servers,
+ * wait one entire second, and then start all of their new-servers. This
+ * procedure will ensure that the new space of identifiers is completely unique
+ * from the old space. (Since the first four unencoded bytes always differ.)
+ *
+ * Note: previous implementations used 32-bits of IP address plus pid
+ * in place of the PRNG output in the "root" field. This was
+ * insufficient for IPv6-only hosts, required working DNS to determine
+ * a unique IP address (fragile), and needed a [0, 1) second sleep
+ * call at startup to avoid pid reuse. Use of the PRNG avoids all
+ * these issues.

+ * More comments:
+ * 1) The UUencoding procedure is now done in a general way, avoiding the problems
+ * with sizes and paddings that can arise depending on the architecture. Now the
+ * offsets and sizes of the elements of the unique_id_rec structure are calculated
+ * in unique_id_global_init; and then used to duplicate the structure without the
+ * paddings that might exist. The multithreaded server fix should be now very easy:
+ * just add a new "tid" field to the unique_id_rec structure, and increase by one
+ * UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX.
+ * 2) unique_id_rec.stamp has been changed from "time_t" to "unsigned int", because
+ * its size is 64bits on some platforms (linux/alpha), and this caused problems with
+ * htonl/ntohl. Well, this shouldn't be a problem till year 2106.
