Changes with Apache 2.4.56

  *) rotatelogs: Add -T flag to allow subsequent rotated logfiles to be
     truncated without the initial logfile being truncated.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_ldap: LDAPConnectionPoolTTL should accept negative values in order to
     allow connections of any age to be reused. Up to now, a negative value
     was handled as an error when parsing the configuration file.  PR 66421.

Changes with Apache 2.4.55

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2022-37436: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy prior to
     2.4.55 allows a backend to trigger HTTP response splitting
     (cve.mitre.org)
     Prior to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.55, a malicious backend can
     cause the response headers to be truncated early, resulting in
     some headers being incorporated into the response body. If the
     later headers have any security purpose, they will not be
     interpreted by the client.

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2022-36760: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_ajp
     Possible request smuggling (cve.mitre.org)
     Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request
     Smuggling') vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of Apache HTTP Server
     allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it
     forwards requests to.  This issue affects Apache HTTP Server

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2006-20001: mod_dav out of  bounds read, or write
     of zero byte (cve.mitre.org)
     A carefully crafted If: request header can cause a memory read,
     or write of a single zero byte, in a pool (heap) memory location
     beyond the header value sent. This could cause the process to

     <alejandro.alvarez.ayllon cern.ch>]

  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Honor worker timeout settings.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_http2: version 2.0.11 of the module, synchronizing changes
     with the gitgub version. This is a partial rewrite of how connections
     and streams are handled.
     - an APR pollset and pipes (where supported) are used to monitor
       the main connection and react to IO for request/response handling.
       This replaces the stuttered timed waits of earlier versions.
     - H2SerializeHeaders directive still exists, but has no longer an effect.
     - Clients that seemingly misbehave still get less resources allocated,
       but ongoing requests are no longer disrupted.
     - Fixed an issue since 1.15.24 that "Server" headers in proxied requests
       were overwritten instead of preserved. [PR by @daum3ns]
     - A regression in v1.15.24 was fixed that could lead to httpd child
       processes not being terminated on a graceful reload or when reaching
       MaxConnectionsPerChild. When unprocessed h2 requests were queued at
       the time, these could stall. See #212.
     - Improved information displayed in 'server-status' for H2 connections when
       Extended Status is enabled. Now one can see the last request that IO
       operations happened on and transferred IO stats are updated as well.
     - When reaching server limits, such as MaxRequestsPerChild, the HTTP/2 connection
       send a GOAWAY frame much too early on new connections, leading to invalid
       protocol state and a client failing the request. See PR65731 at
       <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65731>.
       The module now initializes the HTTP/2 protocol correctly and allows the
       client to submit one request before the shutdown via a GOAWAY frame
       is being announced.
     - :scheme pseudo-header values, not matching the
       connection scheme, are forwarded via absolute uris to the
       http protocol processing to preserve semantics of the request.
       Checks on combinations of pseudo-headers values/absence
       have been added as described in RFC 7540. Fixes #230.
     - A bug that prevented trailers (e.g. HEADER frame at the end) to be
       generated in certain cases was fixed. See #233 where it prevented
       gRPC responses to be properly generated.
     - Request and response header values are automatically stripped of leading
       and trialing space/tab characters. This is equivalent behaviour to what
       Apache httpd's http/1.1 parser does.
       The checks for this in nghttp2 v1.50.0+ are disabled.
     - Extensive testing in production done by Alessandro Bianchi (@alexskynet)
       on the v2.0.x versions for stability. Many thanks!
  *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed #235 by no longer forwarding 'Host:' header when
     request ':authority' is known. Improved test case that did not catch that
     the previous 'fix' was incorrect.

  *) mod_proxy_hcheck: hcmethod now allows for HTTP/1.1 requests
     using GET11, HEAD11 and/or OPTIONS11. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy: The AH03408 warning for a forcibly closed backend
     connection is now logged at INFO level.  [Yann Ylavic]

  *) mod_ssl: When dumping the configuration, the existence of
     certificate/key files is no longer tested.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_ssl: when a proxy connection had handled a request using SSL, an
     error was logged when "SSLProxyEngine" was only configured in the
     location/proxy section and not the overall server. The connection
     continued to work, the error log was in error. Fixed PR66190.

     [Alessandro Cavaliere <alessandro.cavalier7 unibo.it>]

  *) mod_http2: Export mod_http2.h as public header. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_md: a new directive `MDStoreLocks` can be used on cluster
     setups with a shared file system for `MDStoreDir` to order
     activation of renewed certificates when several cluster nodes are
     restarted at the same time. Store locks are not enabled by default.
     Restored curl_easy cleanup behaviour from v2.4.14 and refactored
     the use of curl_multi for OCSP requests to work with that.

    - The directive 'MDCertificateAuthority' now checks if its parameter

     It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP
     Server 2.4.50 was insufficient.  An attacker could use a path
     traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the directories
     configured by Alias-like directives.
     If files outside of these directories are not protected by the
     usual default configuration "require all denied", these requests
     can succeed. If CGI scripts are also enabled for these aliased
     paths, this could allow for remote code execution.

  *) core: Adding SSL related inquiry functions to the server API.
     These function are always available, even when no module providing
     SSL is loaded. They provide their own "shadowing" implementation for
     the optional functions of similar name that mod_ssl and impersonators
     of mod_ssl provide.
     This enables loading of several SSL providing modules when all but
     one of them registers itself into the new hooks. Two old-style SSL
     modules will not work, as they replace the others optional functions
     with their own.
     Modules using the old-style optional functions will continue to work
     as core supplies its own versions of those.
     The following has been added so far:
     - ap_ssl_conn_is_ssl() to query if a connection is using SSL.
     - ap_ssl_var_lookup() to query SSL related variables for a
       server/connection/request.
     - Hooks for 'ssl_conn_is_ssl' and 'ssl_var_lookup' where modules
       providing SSL can install their own value supplying functions.
     - ap_ssl_add_cert_files() to enable other modules like mod_md to provide
       certificate and keys for an SSL module like mod_ssl.
     - ap_ssl_add_fallback_cert_files() to enable other modules like mod_md to
       provide a fallback certificate in case no 'proper' certificate is
       available for an SSL module like mod_ssl.
     - ap_ssl_answer_challenge() to enable other modules like mod_md to
       provide a certificate as used in the RFC 8555 'tls-alpn-01' challenge
       for the ACME protocol for an SSL module like mod_ssl. The function
       and its hook provide PEM encoded data instead of file names.
     - Hooks for 'ssl_add_cert_files', 'ssl_add_fallback_cert_files' and
       'ssl_answer_challenge' where modules like mod_md can provide providers
       to the above mentioned functions.
     - These functions reside in the new 'http_ssl.h' header file.
     [Stefan Eissing]

  *) core/mod_ssl/mod_md: adding OCSP response provisioning as core feature. This
     allows modules to access and provide OCSP response data without being tied
     of each other. The data is exchanged in standard, portable formats (PEM encoded
     certificates and DER encoded responses), so that the actual SSL/crypto
     implementations used by the modules are independant of each other.
     Registration and retrieval happen in the context of a server (server_rec)
     which modules may use to decide if they are configured for this or not.
     The area of changes:
     1. core: defines 2 functions in include/http_ssl.h, so that modules may
        register a certificate, together with its issuer certificate for OCSP
        response provisioning and ask for current response data (DER bytes) later.
        Also, 2 hooks are defined that allow modules to implement this OCSP
        provisioning.
     2. mod_ssl uses the new functions, in addition to what it did already, to
        register its certificates this way. If no one is interested in providing
        OCSP, it falls back to its own (if configured) stapling implementation.
     3. mod_md registers itself at the core hooks for OCSP provisioning. Depending
        on configuration, it will accept registrations of its own certificates only,
        all certificates or none.
     [Stefan Eissing]

 *) mod_md: v2.4.0 with improvements and bugfixes
     - MDPrivateKeys allows the specification of several types. Beside "RSA" plus
     optional key lengths elliptic curves can be configured. This means you can
     have multiple certificates for a Managed Domain with different key types.
     With ```MDPrivateKeys secp384r1 rsa2048``` you get one ECDSA  and one RSA
     certificate and all modern client will use the shorter ECDSA, while older
     client will get the RSA certificate.
     Many thanks to @tlhackque who pushed and helped on this.
     - Support added for MDomains consisting of a wildcard. Configuring
     ```MDomain *.host.net``` will match all virtual hosts matching that pattern
     and obtain one certificate for it (assuming you have 'dns-01' challenge
     support configured). Addresses #239.
     - Removed support for ACMEv1 servers. The only known installation used to
     be Let's Encrypt which has disabled that version more than a year ago for
     new accounts.
     - Andreas Ulm (<https://github.com/root360-AndreasUlm>) implemented the
     ```renewing``` call to ```MDMessageCmd``` that can deny a certificate
     renewal attempt. This is useful in clustered installations, as
     discussed in #233).
     - New event ```challenge-setup:<type>:<domain>```, triggered when the
     challenge data for a domain has been created. This is invoked before the
     ACME server is told to check for it. The type is one of the ACME challenge
     types. This is invoked for every DNS name in a MDomain.
     - The max delay for retries has been raised to daily (this is like all
     retries jittered somewhat to avoid repeats at fixed time of day).
     - Certain error codes reported by the ACME server that indicate a problem
     with the configured data now immediately switch to daily retries. For
     example: if the ACME server rejects a contact email or a domain name,
     frequent retries will most likely not solve the problem. But daily retries
     still make sense as there might be an error at the server and un-supervised
     certificate renewal is the goal. Refs #222.
     - Test case and work around for domain names > 64 octets. Fixes #227.
     When the first DNS name of an MD is longer than 63 octets, the certificate
     request will not contain a CN field, but leave it up to the CA to choose one.
     Currently, Lets Encrypt looks for a shorter name in the SAN list given and
     fails the request if none is found. But it is really up to the CA (and what
     browsers/libs accept here) and may change over the years. That is why
     the decision is best made at the CA.
     - Retry delays now have a random +/-[0-50]% modification applied to let
     retries from several servers spread out more, should they have been
     restarted at the same time of day.
     - Fixed several places where the 'badNonce' return code from an ACME server
     was not handled correctly. The test server 'pebble' simulates this behaviour
     by default and helps nicely in verifying this behaviour. Thanks, pebble!
     - Set the default `MDActivationDelay` to 0. This was confusing to users that
     new certificates were deemed not usably before a day of delay. When clocks are
     correct, using a new certificate right away should not pose a problem.
     - When handling ACME authorization resources, the module no longer requires
     the server to return a "Location" header, as was necessary in ACMEv1.
     Fixes #216.
     - Fixed a theoretical uninitialized read when testing for JSON error responses
     from the ACME CA. Reported at <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64297>.
     - ACME problem reports from CAs that include parameters in the Content-Type
     header are handled correctly. (Previously, the problem text would not be
     reported and retries could exceed CA limits.)
     - Account Update transactions to V2 CAs now use the correct POST-AS-GET method.
     Previously, an empty JSON object was sent - which apparently LE accepted,
     but others reject.

  *) mod_md: Adding the several new features.
     The module offers an implementation of OCSP Stapling that can replace fully or
     for a limited set of domains the existing one from mod_ssl. OCSP handling
     is part of mod_md's monitoring and message notifications. If can be used
     for sites that do not have ACME certificates.
     The url for a CTLog Monitor can be configured. It is used in the server-status
     to link to the external status page of a certificate.
     The MDMessageCmd is called with argument "installed" when a new certificate
     has been activated on server restart/reload. This allows for processing of
     the new certificate, for example to applications that require it in different
     locations or formats.

     in play, the proper HTTP/2 stream reset did not trigger with H2_ERR_HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED.
     Fixed. [Michael Kaufmann]

  *) mod_http2: new configuration directive: `H2Padding numbits` to control
     padding of HTTP/2 payload frames. 'numbits' is a number from 0-8,
     controlling the range of padding bytes added to a frame. The actual number
     added is chosen randomly per frame. This applies to HEADERS, DATA and PUSH_PROMISE
     frames equally. The default continues to be 0, e.g. no padding. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: ripping out all the h2_req_engine internal features now that mod_proxy_http2
     has no more need for it. Optional functions are still declared but no longer implemented.
     While previous mod_proxy_http2 will work with this, it is recommended to run the matching
     versions of both modules. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy_http2: changed mod_proxy_http2 implementation and fixed several bugs which
     resolve PR63170. The proxy module does now a single h2 request on the (reused)
     connection and returns. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: proxy_http2 checks correct master connection aborted status
     to trigger immediate shutdown of backend connections. This is now always signalled
     by mod_http2 when the the session is being released.
     proxy_http2 now only sends a PING frame to the backend when there is not already one
     in flight. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed an issue where a proxy_http2 handler entered an infinite
     loop when encountering certain errors on the backend connection.
     See <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63170>. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: Configuration directives H2Push and H2Upgrade can now be specified per
     Location/Directory, e.g. disabling PUSH for a specific set of resources. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: HEAD requests to some module such as mod_cgid caused the stream to
     terminate improperly and cause a HTTP/2 PROTOCOL_ERROR.
     Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/167>. [Michael Kaufmann]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix crash during SSL renegotiation with OptRenegotiate set,
     when client certificates are available from the original handshake
     but were originally not verified and should get verified now.
     This is a regression in 2.4.36 (unreleased). [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_http2: number of worker threads allowed to a connection is adjusting
     dynamically. Starting with 4, the number is doubled when streams can be
     served without block on http/2 connection flow. The number is halfed, when
     the server has to wait on client flow control grants.
     This can happen with a maximum frequency of 5 times per second.
     When a connection occupies too many workers, repeatable requests
     (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) are cancelled and placed back in the queue. Should that
     not suffice and a stream is busy longer than the server timeout, the
     connection will be aborted with error code ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM.
     This does *not* limit the number of streams a client may open, rather the
     number of server threads a connection might use.

  *) mod_http2: incoming trailers (headers after request body) are properly
     forwarded to the processing engine. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: new directive 'H2Push' to en-/disable HTTP/2 server
     pushes a server/virtual host. Pushes are initiated by the presence
     of 'Link:' headers with relation 'preload' on a response. [Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_http2: write performance of http2 improved for larger resources,
     especially static files. [Stefan Eissing]

     abort. Separate parent pool for all workers. worker threads are joined
     on planned worker shutdown. [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]

  *) mod_ssl: when receiving requests for other virtual hosts than the handshake
     server, the SSL parameters are checked for equality. With equal
     configuration, requests are passed for processing. Any change will trigger
     the old behaviour of "421 Misdirected Request".
     SSL now remembers the cipher suite that was used for the last handshake.
     This is compared against for any vhost/directory cipher specification.
     Detailed examination of renegotiation is only done when these do not
     match.

     variables) along with the system PATH, by default.  Both should be
     overridden together as desired using PassEnv etc; see mod_env.
     [William Rowe]

  *) mod_cache: Introduce CacheStoreExpired, to allow administrators to
     capture a stale backend response, perform If-Modified-Since requests
     against the backend, and serving from the cache all 304 responses.
     This restores pre-2.2.4 cache behavior.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_rewrite: Introduce <=, >= string comparison operators, and integer
     comparators -lt, -le, -eq, -ge, and -gt.  To help bash users and drop
     the ambiguity of the symlink test "-ltest", introduce -h or -L as
     symlink test operators.  [William Rowe]

     or not cache based on the buckets present in the brigade, such as the
     presence of a FILE bucket.

  *) mod_include: Reinstate support for UTF-8 character sets by allowing a
     variable being echoed or set to be decoded and then encoded as separate
     steps. PR47686 [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Add a discrete commit_entity() provider function within the
     mod_cache provider interface which is called to indicate to the
     provider that caching is complete, giving the provider the opportunity
     to commit temporary files permanently to the cache in an atomic
     fashion. Replace the inconsistent use of error cleanups with a formal
     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.
     This fixes an out of memory and a request timeout condition that would
     occur when the original document was a large file. Introduce
     CacheReadSize and CacheReadTime directives to mod_disk_cache to control
     the amount of data to attempt to cache at a time. [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add ErrorLogFormat to allow configuring error log format, including
     additional information that is logged once per connection or request. Add
     error log IDs for connections and request to allow correlating error log
     lines and the corresponding access log entry. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Disable sendfile by default. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) 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_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
     of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
     when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

     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

     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.

  *) 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.

     contain public function declarations which are useful for
     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
     searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
     using referrals without the use of the global catalog.
     PRs 26538, 40268, and 42557 [Paul J. Reder]

  *) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
     size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
     such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
     to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST

  *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
     the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
     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.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]

  *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed.  Third-party modules must
     now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
     open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
     directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
     to the console.  Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
     and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
     appropriate.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
     to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and

     invalidate it.  Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
     authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'.  Move the directives
     'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
     into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
     into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
     support for these directives.
     [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
     add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
     and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
     logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
     authorization provider vector and contains common authz
     directives. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
     'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
     host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
     through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
     provider based. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
     [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]

  *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type.  The logging of a request and
     the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
     This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
     of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
     indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
     and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]

  *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes  [Brian Pane]
