Changes with Apache 2.5.1
*) mod_ssl: Fix a regression that the configuration settings for verify mode
and verify depth were taken from the frontend connection in case of
connections by the proxy to the backend. PR 62769. [Ruediger Pluem]
*) ab: Add client certificate support. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Fix issues with TCP health checks. PR 61499
[Dominik Stillhard <dominik.stillhard united-security-providers.ch>]
*) mod_http2: connection IO event handling reworked. Instead of reacting on
incoming bytes, the state machine now acts on incoming frames that are
affecting it. This reduces state transitions. [Stefan Eissing]
*) MPMs: Initialize all runtime/asynchronous objects on a dedicated pool and
before signals handling to avoid lifetime issues on restart or shutdown.
PR 62658. [Yann Ylavic]
*) core: Add StrictHostCheck to allow ucnonfigured hostnames to be
rejected. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_status: Cumulate CPU time of exited child processes in the
"cu" and "cs" values. Add CPU time of the parent process to the
"c" and "s" values.
[Rainer Jung]
*) mod_status: Add cumulated response duration time in milliseconds.
[Rainer Jung]
*) mod_status: Complete the data shown for async MPMs in "auto" mode.
Added number of processes, number of stopping processes and number
of busy and idle workers. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_proxy: Improve the balancer member data shown in mod_status when
"ProxyStatus" is "On": add "busy" count and show byte counts in auto
mode always in units of kilobytes. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_proxy: If ProxyPassReverse is used for reverse mapping of relative
redirects, subsequent ProxyPassReverse statements, whether they are
relative or absolute, may fail. PR 60408. [Peter Haworth <pmh1wheel gmail.com>]
*) mod_ratelimit: Don't interfere with "chunked" encoding, fixing regression
introduced in 2.4.34. PR 62568. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy_http: forward 100-continue, and minimize race conditions when
reusing backend connections. PR 60330. [Yann Ylavic, Jean-Frederic Clere]
*) mod_proxy: Remove load order and link dependency between mod_lbmethod_*
modules and mod_proxy. PR 62557. [Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
*) mod_md: more robust handling of http-01 challenges and hands-off when module
should not be involved, e.g. challenge setup by another ACME client. [Stefan Eissing]
*) ru, zh-cn and zh-tw translations of errordocs have been added.
Contributed by Alexander Gaganashvili and CodeingBoy
*) mod_userdir: If several directories are given in a UserDir directive, only files
in the first existing one are checked. If the file is not found there, the
other possible directories are not checked. The doc clearly states that they
will be checked one by one, until a match is found or an external redirect is
performed. PR 59636.
[Christophe Jaillet]
*) mod_rewrite: Only create the global mutex used by "RewriteMap prg:" when
this type of map is present in the configuration. PR62311.
[Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
*) mod_ldap: Abort on LDAP locking errors. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_ssl: Support loading certificates and private keys from the
PKCS#11 OpenSSL engine. [Anderson Sasaki <ansasaki redhat.com>,
Joe Orton]
*) mod_http2: adding an abort function to slave connections' pools, so out-of-memory
events lead to a control process abort, as on HTTP/1.x connections. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: adding regular memory cleanup when transferring large response bodies. This
reduces memory footprint and avoids memory exhaustion when transferring large files
on 32-bit architectures. Fixes PR 62325. [Stefan Eissing]
*) http: LimitRequestBody applies to proxied requests. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_logio: Add LogIOTrackTTFU and %^FU logformat to log the time
difference between request start and last request body byte read (finished upload).
[Rainer Jung]
*) mod_ssl: add support for TLSv1.3 (tested with OpenSSL v1.1.1-pre4, other libs may
need more sugar). SSL(Proxy)CipherSuite now has an optional first parameter for the
protocol the ciphers are for.
Directive "SSLVerifyClient" now triggers certificate retrieval from the client (this
is not fully tested - but fails in similar fashion as in TLSv1.2 in my setups).
Verifying the client fails exactly the same for HTTP/2 connections for all SSL protocols,
as this would need to trigger the master connection thread - which we do not support
right now.
Renegotiation of ciphers is intentionally ignored for TLSv1.3 connections. "SSLCipherSuite"
does not allow to specify TLSv1.3 ciphers in a directory context (because it cannot work) and
TLSv1.2 or lower ciphers are not relevant, as cipher suites are completely separate.
This means there is a bit if a world split when simultaneously having TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3
connections to the same server.
[Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: proper checks for libressl 2.07/8 and its TLSv1_3 support, see PR 62236.
[Bernard Spil <brnrd@freebsd.org>]
*) mod_http2: on level trace2, log any unsuccessful HTTP/2 direct connection upgrade
with base64 encoding to unify its appearance in possible bug reports. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_cgi: Add CGIScriptTimeout to make mod_cgi's timeout per-directory and
independent of the core Timeout directive. PR 62229.
[Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
*) mod_ssl: heavily simplified SSLPolicy. No more user defines, no propxy policies,
just the basic "modern", "intermediate" and "old" as specified by Mozilla security.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: fixes error in renew window calculation that may lead to mod_md running
watchdog in a tight loop until actual renewal becomes necessary. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: /.well-known/acme-challenge requests that cannot be answered for hostnames
outside the configured MDs are free to be answered by other handlers. This allows
co-existance between mod_md and other ACME clients on the same server (implements PR62189).
[Stefan Eissing, Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@maven.pl>]
*) core: Create a conn_config_t structure to hold an extendable core config rather
than consuming the whole pointer with the connection socket. [Graham Leggett]
*) core: adding AP_DECLARE for ap_parse_vhost_addrs() and minor bumb mmn. Resolves
building mod_ssl on Windows. [Stefan Eissing, Gregg Smith]
*) mod_http2: discourage gzip/brotli content encoding on http2-status responses as
they are inserted into the reponse when filters are already done. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: adding defines to allow interworking with honggfuzz without
further patches. [Stefan Eissing, Robert Swiecki]
*) mod_headers: 'RequestHeader set|edit|edit_r Content-Type X' could
inadvertently modify the Content-Type _response_ header. Applies to
Content-Type only and likely to only affect static file responses.
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_cgi: Improve AH01215 messages to make it more clear that the message is
the CGI scripts stderr output. PR 61980. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
*) mod_headers: Allow 'Header unset Content-Type' to remove the Content-Type
header. PR 61983. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
*) mod_md v1.1.8: new configuration directive "MDBaseServer on|off" to allow/inhibit
management of the base server domains outside VirtualHosts. By default, this is "off",
e.g. mod_md will not manage certificates or perform https: redirections on the
base server. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: Add "AcceptErrorsNonFatal" to allow ECONNREFUSED, ECONNABORTED, and
ECONNRESET during the client accept() to not trigger graceful shutdown of
the child process. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_md v1.1.7:
- MDMustStaple was unable to create the necessary OpenSSL OBJ identifier on some platforms,
possibly because this fails if the OID is already configured in ```openssl.cnf```, see
[here](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/2795).
- Two memory leaks in cert issuer and alt-names lookup eliminated by Yann Ylavic.
- Changing MDMustStaple triggers certificate renewal.
- More verbosity when *not* handing out certificates, e.g. mod_ssl asks, but mod_md has no
idea what it is talking about. Some people report misbehaviour here.
- Re-enabled support for md_get_credentials() function that was used in older mod_ssl
patch, so that people with old patched servers get a chance to upgrade.
[Stefan Eissing, Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_susbtitute: Allow expressions in the subtitution, prefixed with expr=
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_md: fixed mem pool usage for auto-added server names. Added
error logging of exact ACME response when challenges failed.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: reverses most of v1.0.5 optimization of post_config init, so that
mod_ssl can ask for certiticates without crashing. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy: allow SSLProxyCheckPeer* usage for all proxy modules.
PR 61857. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy_html: fix handling of <meta http-equiv> elements.
PR 58121. [Nick Kew]
*) mod_md: fixed backward compatibility to old <ManagedDomain configuration.
Add higher level WARNING log when initial request to ACME server fails, mentioning
some advice. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: name change in configuration directives. The old names are still working
in this version, so you can safely upgrade. They will give warnings in the log and
will disappear in the immediate future. ManagedDomain is now MDomain,
<ManagedDomain> is now <MDomainSet>. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: renamed section <SSLPolicy to <SSLPolicyDefine. Fixed behaviour
for new server config merge flag. Denying global, only once used directives
inside a SSLPolicyDefine. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_auth_basic: Be less tolerant when parsing the credencial. Only spaces
should be accepted after the authorization scheme. \t are also tolerated.
[Christophe Jaillet]
*) mod_http2: fixed unfair scheduling when number of active connections
exceeded the scheduling fifo capacity. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: Support zone/scope in IPv6 link-local addresses in Listen and
VirtualHost directives (requires APR 1.7.x or later). PR 59396. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_md: v1.0.5, restricting post_config dry run to be more silent and performing
only necessary work for mod_ssl to be also happy with the configuration.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v1.0.4, removed the 'a2md' utility command from build. Only used in github
testing. Avoid problems with our build system that had problems after the latest
changes to make a clean initial build. Remove the windows a2md.dsp therefore also.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: Fail with 403 if the username for FakeBasicAuth mode
includes a colon character. PR 52644. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_md: v1.0.3, fixed various bugs in persisting job properties, so that status is
persisted accross child process changes and staging is reset on reloads. Changed
MDCertificateAgreement url checks. As long as the CA reports that the account has
an agreement, no further checking is done. Existing accounts need no changes when
a new agreement comes out. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_watchdog: Correct some log messages. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_noloris: complete build setup. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_md: fix static compilation. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_md: fix compilation of helper binary a2md. [Rainer Jung]
*) core: fix pcre feature detection in configure when using pcre2. [Rainer Jung]
Changes with Apache 2.5.0-alpha
*) mod_md: v1.0.1, ServerName/Alias names from pure-http: virtual hosts are no longer
auto-added to a Managed Domain. Error counts of jobs are presisted. When the server
restarts (gracefully) any errored staging areas are purged to reset the signup/renewal
process. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v1.0.0, new config directive 'MDNotifyCmd' to hook in a program when Managed
Domains have obtained/renewed their certificates successfully. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.9, fix for applying challenge type based on available ports. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.7
- Use of the new module flag
- Removed obsolete function from interface to mod_ssl.
- Fallback certificates has version set and no longer claims to be a CA. (re issue #32)
- MDRequireHttps now happens before any Redirect.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: unshare SSLSrvConfigRec instances between base server and virtual hosts. This avoids
overwrites of later initializattions (vhost_id), selective disables by "SSLEngine addr-list"
and certificate/key pickup from mod_md. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.6: a "MDRequireHttps permament" configured domain automatically sends out
HSTS (rfc 6797) headers in https: responses. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: adding ssl_policies.h[.in] for policy cipher/protocol definitions. Use
update_policies.py to update manually from Mozilla JSON definitions at
https://statics.tls.security.mozilla.org/server-side-tls-conf.json
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.5:
- New directive (srly: what do you expect at this point?) "MDMustStaple on|off" to control if
new certificates are requested with the OCSP Must Staple extension.
- Known limitation: when the server is configured to ditch and restart child processes, for example
after a certain number of connections/requests, the mod_md watchdog instance might migrate
to a new child process. Since not all its state is persisted, some messsages might appear a
second time in the logs.
- Adding checks when 'MDRequireHttps' is used. It is considered an error when 'MDPortMap 443:-'
is used - which negates that a https: port exists. Also, a warning is logged if no
VirtualHost can be found for a Managed Domain that has port 443 (or the mapped one) in
its address list.
- New directive 'MDRequireHttps' for redirecting http: traffic to a Managed Domain, permanently
or temporarily.
- Fix for using a fallback certificate on initial signup of a Managed Domain. Requires also
a changed mod_ssl patch (v5) to take effect.
- compatibility with libressl
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.2: new directive 'MDHttpProxy' to define a proxy for outgoing connection,
some minor bugfixes, twiddle the build system to avoid non-pic code generation.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.1:
- various fixes in MDRenewWindow handling when specifying percent. Serialization changed. If
someone already used percent configurations, it is advised to change these to a new value,
reload and change back to the wanted ones.
- various fixes in handling of MDPrivateKeys when specifying 2048 bits (the default) explicitly.
- mod_md version removed from top level md_store.json file. The store has its own format version
to facilitate upgrades.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: v0.9.0:
Certificate provisioning from Let's Encrypt (and other ACME CAs) for mod_ssl virtual hosts.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: add SSLPolicy (define/use) and SSLProxyPolicy directives plus documentation. Add
core definitions for policies 'modern', 'intermediate' and 'old', as defined by Mozilla
in <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS>. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_md: new module for managing domains across VirtualHosts with ACME protocol
implementation for automated certificate signup and renewal. Default CA is
the test area of Let's Encrypt right now, so certificates root will not be valid.

configure 'MDCertificateAuthority https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'.
[Stefan Eissing]

calculations. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_cache: Allow caching of responses with an Expires header
in the past that also has Cache-Control: max-age or s-maxage.
PR55156. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_session: Introduce SessionExpiryUpdateInterval which allows to
configure the session/cookie expiry's update interval. PR 57300.
[Paul Spangler <paul.spangler ni.com>]

*) mod_authn_core: Add expression support to AuthName and AuthType.
[Graham Leggett]
*) suexec: Filter out the HTTP_PROXY environment variable because it is
treated as alias for http_proxy by some programs. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920. [Yann Ylavic]
*) core: Define and UnDefine are no longer permitted in
directory context. Previously they would always be evaulated
as the configuration was read without regard for the directory
context. [Eric Covener]
*) config: For directives that do not expect any arguments, enforce
that none are specified in the configuration file.
[Joachim Zobel <jzobel heute-morgen.de>, Eric Covener]

[Chris Card <ctcard hotmail com>]
*) mod_proxy: Now allow for 191 character worker names, with non-fatal
errors if name is truncated. PR53218. [Jim Jagielski]

*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Honor ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout in asynchronous
processing mode. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Fail explicitly when the filter is too long. Remove
unnecessary apr_pstrdup() and strlen(). [Graham Leggett]
*) Add the ldap-search option to mod_authnz_ldap, allowing authorization
to be based on arbitrary expressions that do not include the username.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Add the ldap function to the expression API, allowing LDAP filters and
distinguished names based on expressions to be escaped correctly to
guard against LDAP injection. [Graham Leggett]
*) Add module mod_ssl_ct, which provides an implementation of Certificate
Transparency (RFC 6962) for httpd. [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Avoid sending error responses down an upgraded
websockets connection as it is being close down. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Allow the administrator to cap the amount
of time a synchronous websockets connection stays idle with
ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Change to opt-in for asynchronous support, adding
directives ProxyWebsocketAsync and ProxyWebsocketAsyncDelay.
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Stop leaking websockets backend connections under
event MPM (trunk-only). [Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy_http: Add detach_backend hook (potentially usable
in other proxy scheme handlers). [Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_deflate: Add DeflateAlterETag to control how the ETag
is modified. The 'NoChange' parameter mimics 2.2.x behavior.
PR 45023, PR 39727. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_dir: Default to 2.2-like behavior and skip execution when method is
neither GET nor POST, such as for DAV requests. PR 54914. [Chris Darroch]
*) mod_rewrite: Rename the handler that does per-directory internal
redirects to "rewrite-redirect-handler" from "redirect-handler" so
it is less ambiguous and less likely to be reused. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_rewrite: Protect against looping with the [N] flag by enforcing a
default limit of 10000 iterations, and allowing each rule to change its
limit. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_ssl: Fix config merging of SSLOCSPEnable and SSLOCSPOverrideResponder.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Add HttpContentLengthHeadZero and HttpExpectStrict directives.
[Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda inktank com>, Justin Erenkrantz]
*) mod_ssl: Add -t -DDUMP_CA_CERTS option which dumps the filenames of all
configured SSL CA certificates to stdout the same way as DUMP_CERTS does.
[Jan Kaluza]
*) mod_ssl: Don't flush when an EOS is received. Prepares mod_ssl
to support write completion. [Graham Leggett]
*) core: Add parse_errorlog_arg callback to ap_errorlog_provider
to allow providers to check the ErrorLog argument. [Jan Kaluza]
*) mod_cgid: Use the servers Timeout for each read from a CGI script,
allow override with new CGIDRequestTimeout directive. PR43494
[Eric Covener, Toshikuni Fukaya <toshikuni-fukaya cybozu co jp>]
*) core: ensure any abnormal exit is reported to stderr if it's a tty.
PR 55670 [Nick Kew]

shared memory pool instead of a per-process pool. [Daniel Gruno]
*) ldap: Support ldaps when using the Microsoft LDAP SDK.
PR 54626. [Jean-Frederic Clere]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Change default value of AuthLDAPMaxSubGroupDepth to 0
to avoid performance problems when subgroups aren't in use. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_syslog: New module implementing syslog ap_error_log provider.
Previously, this code was part of core, now it's in separate module.
[Jan Kaluza]
*) core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. Move
syslog support from core to new mod_syslog. [Jan Kaluza]
*) mod_status, mod_echo: Fix the display of client addresses.
They were truncated to 31 characters which is not enough for IPv6 addresses.
This is done by deprecating the use of the 'client' field and using
the new 'client64' field in worker_score.

been configured with -D Z_PREFIX, which redefines the token "deflate".
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_auth_digest: Use the secret when generating nonces in all cases and
not only when AuthName is used in .htaccess files (this change may cause
problems if used with round robin load balancers). Don't regenerate the
secret on graceful restarts. PR 54637 [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: Stop the HTTP_IN filter from attempting to write error buckets
to the output filters, which is bogus in the proxy case. Create a
clean mapping from APR codes to HTTP status codes, and use it where
needed. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
504 Gateway Timout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway, in order to be
compliant with RFC2616 14.9.4 Cache Revalidation and Reload Controls.

*) http: Remove support for Request-Range header sent by Navigator 2-3 and
MSIE 3. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core, http: Extend HttpProtocol with an option to enforce stricter HTTP
conformance or to only log the found problems. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) EventOpt MPM
*) core: Add LogLevelOverride directive that allows to override the
loglevel for clients from certain IPs. This also works for things
like the SSL handshake where <If> LogLevel ... </If> is evaluated
too late. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: Add new directive Warning to issue warnings from a configuration
file. Both Warning and Error now generate a timestamped log message.
[Fabien Coelho]

variables. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) core: New directive HttpProtocol which allows to disable HTTP/0.9
support. [Stefan Fritsch]

to allow tracking of threads from exiting children via mod_status
or other such mechanisms. [Jeff Trawick]
*) The following now respect DefaultRuntimeDir/DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR:
- APIs: ap_log_pid(), ap_remove_pid, ap_read_pid()
- mod_cache: thundering herd lock directory
- mod_lbmethod_heartbeat, mod_heartmonitor: heartbeat storage file

- mod_socache_shmcb, mod_socache_dbm: shared memory or dbm for cache
[Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation. PR 52210.
[Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]
*) cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will
be compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.
PR 51257. [Guenter Knauf]
*) core: In maintainer mode, replace apr_palloc with a version that
initializes the allocated memory with non-zero values, except if
AP_DEBUG_NO_ALLOC_POISON is defined. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_policy: Add a new testing module to help server administrators
enforce a configurable level of protocol compliance on their
servers and application servers behind theirs. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_firehose: Add a new debugging module able to record traffic
passing through the server in such a way that connections and/or
requests be reconstructed and replayed. [Graham Leggett]
