ASF changes:
*) SECURITY: CVE-2023-45802: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 stream
memory not reclaimed right away on RST (cve.mitre.org)
When a HTTP/2 stream was reset (RST frame) by a client, there
was a time window were the request's memory resources were not
reclaimed immediately. Instead, de-allocation was deferred to
connection close. A client could send new requests and resets,
keeping the connection busy and open and causing the memory
footprint to keep on growing. On connection close, all resources
were reclaimed, but the process might run out of memory before
that.
This was found by the reporter during testing of CVE-2023-44487
(HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Exploit) with their own test client. During
"normal" HTTP/2 use, the probability to hit this bug is very
low. The kept memory would not become noticeable before the
connection closes or times out.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes
the issue. Credits: Will Dormann of Vul Labs
*) SECURITY: CVE-2023-43622: Apache HTTP Server: DoS in HTTP/2 with
initial windows size 0 (cve.mitre.org)
An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window
size of 0, was able to block handling of that connection
indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to
exhaust worker resources in the server, similar to the well
known "slow loris" attack pattern.
This has been fixed in version 2.4.58, so that such connection
are terminated properly after the configured connection timeout.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.55 through
2.4.57.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes
the issue.

*) mod_ssl: Silence info log message "SSL Library Error: error:0A000126:
SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading" when using
OpenSSL 3 by setting SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF if
available. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_http2: improved early cleanup of streams. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: improved error handling on connection errors while
response is already underway. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed a bug that could lead to a crash in main connection
output handling. This occured only when the last request on a HTTP/2
connection had been processed and the session decided to shut down.
This could lead to an attempt to send a final GOAWAY while the previous
write was still in progress. See PR 66646. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: fix `X-Forward-Host` header to carry the correct value.
Fixes PR66752. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: added support for bootstrapping WebSockets via HTTP/2, as
described in RFC 8441. A new directive 'H2WebSockets on|off' has been
added. The feature is by default not enabled.
As also discussed in the manual, this feature should work for setups
using "ProxyPass backend-url upgrade=websocket" without further changes.
Special server modules for WebSockets will have to be adapted,
most likely, as the handling if IO events is different with HTTP/2.
HTTP/2 WebSockets are supported on platforms with native pipes. This
excludes Windows.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_rewrite: Fix a regression with both a trailing ? and [QSA].
in OCSP stapling. PR 66672. [Frank Meier frank.meier ergon.ch, covener]
*) mod_http2: fixed a bug in flushing pending data on an already closed
connection that could lead to a busy loop, preventing the HTTP/2 session
to close down successfully. Fixed PR 66624.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: v2.0.15 with the following fixes and improvements
- New directive 'H2EarlyHint name value' to add headers to a response,
picked up already when a "103 Early Hints" response is sent. 'name' and
'value' must comply to the HTTP field restrictions.
This directive can be repeated several times and header fields of the
same names add. Sending a 'Link' header with 'preload' relation will
also cause a HTTP/2 PUSH if enabled and supported by the client.
- Fixed an issue where requests were not logged and accounted in a timely
fashion when the connection returns to "keepalive" handling, e.g. when
the request served was the last outstanding one.
This led to late appearance in access logs with wrong duration times
reported.
- Accurately report the bytes sent for a request in the '%O' Log format.
This addresses #203, a long outstanding issue where mod_h2 has reported
numbers over-eagerly from internal buffering and not what has actually
been placed on the connection.
The numbers are now the same with and without H2CopyFiles enabled.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: fix retry handling to not leak temporary errors.
On detecting that that an existing connection was shutdown by the other
side, a 503 response leaked even though the request was retried on a
fresh connection.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_rewrite: Add server directory to include path as mod_rewrite requires
test_char.h. PR 66571 [Valeria Petrov valeria.petrov@spinetix.com
*) mod_http2: new directive `H2ProxyRequests on|off` to enable handling
of HTTP/2 requests in a forward proxy configuration.
General forward proxying is enabled via `ProxyRequests`. If the
HTTP/2 protocol is also enabled for such a server/host, this new
directive is needed in addition.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) core: Updated conf/mime.types:
- .js moved from 'application/javascript' to 'text/javascript'
- .mjs was added as 'text/javascript'
- add .opus ('audio/ogg')

*) mod_md:
- New directive `MDMatchNames all|servernames` to allow more control over how
MDomains are matched to VirtualHosts.
- New directive `MDChallengeDns01Version`. Setting this to `2` will provide
the command also with the challenge value on `teardown` invocation. In version
1, the default, only the `setup` invocation gets this parameter.
Refs #312. Thanks to @domrim for the idea.
- For Managed Domain in "manual" mode, the checks if all used ServerName and
ServerAlias are part of the MDomain now reports a warning instead of an error
(AH10040) when not all names are present.
- MDChallengeDns01 can now be configured for individual domains.

- Fixed a bug found by Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) that caused the challenge
teardown not being invoked as it should.
*) mod_ldap: Avoid performance overhead of APR-util rebind cache for
OpenLDAP 2.2+. PR 64414. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2MaxDataFrameLen n' to limit the maximum
amount of response body bytes put into a single HTTP/2 DATA frame.
Setting this to 0 places no limit (but the max size allowed by the
protocol is observed).
The module, by default, tries to use the maximum size possible, which is
somewhat around 16KB. This sets the maximum. When less response data is
available, smaller frames will be sent.
*) mod_md: fixed passing of the server environment variables to programs
started via MDMessageCmd and MDChallengeDns01 on *nix system.
See https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/319.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2023-25690: HTTP request splitting with
mod_rewrite and mod_proxy (cve.mitre.org)
Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions
2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack.
Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with
some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific
pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL)
data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target
using variable substitution. For example, something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "^/here/(.*)" "http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1"; [P]
ProxyPassReverse /here/ http://example.com:8080/
Request splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access controls
in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin servers,
and cache poisoning. Credits: Lars Krapf of Adobe

*) 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!

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.

child processes not being terminated on a graceful reload or
when reaching MaxConnectionsPerChild. When unprocessed h2

- Added support for ACME External Account Binding (EAB).
Use the new directive `MDExternalAccountBinding` to provide the
server with the value for key identifier and hmac as provided by
your CA.
While working on some servers, EAB handling is not uniform
across CAs. First tests with a Sectigo Certificate Manager in
demo mode are successful. But ZeroSSL, for example, seems to
regard EAB values as a one-time-use-only thing, which makes them
fail if you create a seconde account or retry the creation of the
first account with the same EAB.
- The directive 'MDCertificateAuthority' now checks if its parameter
is a http/https url or one of a set of known names. Those are
'LetsEncrypt', 'LetsEncrypt-Test', 'Buypass' and 'Buypass-Test'
for now and they are not case-sensitive.
The default of LetsEncrypt is unchanged.
- `MDContactEmail` can now be specified inside a ``
section.
- Treating 401 HTTP status codes for orders like 403, since some ACME
servers seem to prefer that for accessing oders from other accounts.
- When retrieving certificate chains, try to read the repsonse even
if the HTTP Content-Type is unrecognized.
- Fixed a bug that reset the error counter of a certificate renewal
and prevented the increasing delays in further attempts.
- Fixed the renewal process giving up every time on an already existing
order with some invalid domains. Now, if such are seen in a previous
order, a new order is created for a clean start over again.
See < https://github.com/icing/mod_md/issues/268 >
- Fixed a mixup in md-status handler when static certificate files
and renewal was configured at the same time.

now also be configured to be read from a separate JSON
file. This allows to keep server configuration permissions
world readable without exposing secrets.

It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP

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

[Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_ssl: tighten the handling of ALPN for outgoing (proxy)
connections. If ALPN protocols are provided and sent to the
remote server, the received protocol selected is inspected
and checked for a match. Without match, the peer handshake
fails.
An exception is the proposal of "http/1.1" where it is
accepted if the remote server did not answer ALPN with
a selected protocol. This accomodates for hosts that do
not observe/support ALPN and speak http/1.x be default.

mod_http2: Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference [Ivan Zhakov]

fallback to mod_proxy_http for WebSocket upgrade and tunneling.
[Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy: Fix flushing of THRESHOLD_MIN_WRITE data while tunneling.
BZ 65294. [Yann Ylavic]
*) core: Fix a regression that stripped the ETag header from 304 responses.
PR 61820 [Ruediger Pluem, Roy T. Fielding]
*) 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.

[Eric Covener]
*) mod_http2: Fixed interaction with mod_reqtimeout. A loaded mod_http2 was disabling the
ssl handshake timeouts. Also, fixed a mistake of the last version that made `H2Direct`
always `on`, regardless of configuration. Found and reported by

documented for `MDCAChallenges`. Fixes #156. Thanks again to @mkauf for finding this.
- Fixing a potential, low memory null pointer dereference [thanks to @uhliarik].
- Fixing an incompatibility with a change in libcurl v7.66.0 that added unwanted
"transfer-encoding" to POST requests. This failed in directy communication with
Let's Encrypt boulder server. Thanks to @mkauf for finding and fixing. [Stefan Eissing]
*) 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 certicate.
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.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-10081 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_http2: HTTP/2 very early pushes, for example configured with "H2PushResource",
could lead to an overwrite of memory in the pushing request's pool,
leading to crashes. The memory copied is that of the configured push
link header values, not data supplied by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-9517 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_http2: a malicious client could perform a DoS attack by flooding
a connection with requests and basically never reading responses
on the TCP connection. Depending on h2 worker dimensioning, it was
possible to block those with relatively few connections. [Stefan Eissing]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-10098 (cve.mitre.org)

*) mod_http2: core setting "LimitRequestFieldSize" is not additionally checked on
merged header fields, just as HTTP/1.1 does. [Stefan Eissing, Michael Kaufmann]
*) mod_http2: fixed a bug that prevented proper stream cleanup when connection
throttling was in place. Stream resets by clients on streams initiated by them
are counted as possible trigger for throttling. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2/mpm_event: Fixes the behaviour when a HTTP/2 connection has nothing
more to write with streams ongoing (flow control block). The timeout waiting
for the client to send WINODW_UPDATE was incorrectly KeepAliveTimeout and not
Timeout as it should be. Fixes PR 63534. [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Load balancer required byrequests when bytraffic chosen. PR 62372. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Create the configuration for mod_proxy_hcheck
when used in BalancerMember. PR 60757. [Jean-Frederic Clere]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Mute extremely frequent debug message. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_ssl/mod_md: reversing dependency by letting mod_ssl offer hooks for
adding certificates and keys to a virtual host. An additional hook allows
answering special TLS connections as used in ACME challenges.
Adding 2 new hooks for init/get of OCSP stapling status information when
other modules want to provide those. Falls back to own implementation with same behaviour as before.
*) mod_md: new features
- protocol
- supports the ACMEv2 protocol. It is the default and will be used on the next
certificate renewal, unless another "MDCertificateAuthority" is configured
- ACMEv2 endpoints use the GET via empty POST way of accessing resources, see announcement by Let's Encrypt:
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acme-v2-scheduled-deprecation-of-unauthenticated-resource-gets/74380
- challenges
- new challenge method 'tls-alpn-01' implemented
- challenge type 'tls-sni-01' has been removed as CAs do not offer this any longer
- supports command configuration to setup/teardown 'dns-01' challenges
- supports wildcard certificates when dns challenges are configured
- status information and monitoring
- a domain exposes its status at https:///.httpd/certificate-status
- Managed Domains are now in Apache's 'server-status' page
- A new handler 'md-status' exposes verbose status information in JSON format
- new directives
- "MDCertificateFile" and "MDCertificateKeyFile" to configure a
Managed Domain that uses static files. Auto-renewal is turned off for those.
- "MDMessageCmd" that is invoked on several events: 'renewed', 'expiring' and errored'.
- "MDWarnWindow" directive to configure when expiration warnings shall be issued.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-0197 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_http2: fixes a possible crash when HTTP/2 was enabled for a http:
host or H2Upgrade was enabled for h2 on a https: host. An Upgrade
request from http/1.1 to http/2 that was not the first request on a
connection could lead to a misconfiguration and crash. Servers that
never enabled the h2 protocol or only enabled it for https: and
did not set "H2Upgrade on" are unaffected by this issue.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-0196 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_http2: using fuzzed network input, the http/2 request
handling could be made to access freed memory in string
comparision when determining the method of a request and
thus process the request incorrectly. [Stefan Eissing]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2019-0211 (cve.mitre.org)
MPMs unix: Fix a local priviledge escalation vulnerability by not
maintaining each child's listener bucket number in the scoreboard,

Merge consecutive slashes in URL's. Opt-out with
`MergeSlashes OFF`. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy/ssl: Cleanup per-request SSL configuration anytime a backend
connection is recycled/reused to avoid a possible crash with some SSLProxy
configurations in < Location > or < Proxy > context. PR 63256. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_log_config: Support %{c}h for conn-hostname, %h for useragent_host
PR 55348
*) mod_socache_redis: Support for Redis as socache storage provider.
*) core: new configuration option 'MergeSlashes on|off' that controls handling of
multiple, consecutive slash ('/') characters in the path component of the request URL.
[Eric Covener]
*) mod_http2: when SSL renegotiation is inhibited and a 403 ErrorDocument is
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 recommeneded 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]
*) http: Fix possible empty response with mod_ratelimit for HEAD requests.

cached entity (key), such that rewrites are taken into account when
running afterwards (CacheQuickHandler off). PR 21935. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2EarlyHints' to enable sending of HTTP status
103 interim responses. Disabled by default. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: Fix quick renegotiation (OptRenegotiaton) with no intermediate
in the client certificate chain. PR 55786. [Yann Ylavic]

*) mod_dav: Fix a potential cause of unbounded memory usage or incorrect
behavior in a routine that sends < DAV:response >'s to the output filters.
[Evgeny Kotkov]
*) mod_http2: new directive 'H2PushResource' to enable early pushes before
processing of the main request starts. Resources are announced to the
client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response.
All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and
trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.
'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher
priority than the main resource. This leads to preferred scheduling for
processing and, when content is available, will send it first. 'critical'
is also recognized on Link headers. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: uris in Link headers are now mapped back to a suitable
local url when available. Relative uris with an absolute path are mapped
as well. This makes reverse proxy mapping available for resources
announced in this header.
With 103 interim responses being forwarded to the main client connection,
this effectively allows early pushing of resources by a reverse proxied
backend server. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: adding support for newly proposed 103 status code.

*) mpm_unix: Apache fails to start if previously crashed then restarted with
the same PID (e.g. in container). PR 60261.
[Val < valentin.bremond gmail.com >, Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_http2: unannounced and multiple interim responses (status code < 200)
are parsed and forwarded to client until a final response arrives.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: improved robustness when main connection is closed early
by resetting all ongoing streams against the backend.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: allocators from slave connections are released earlier,
resulting in less overall memory use on busy, long lived connections.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_remoteip: Pick up where we left off during a subrequest rather
than running with the modified XFF but original TCP address.
PR 49839/PR 60251
*) http: Respond with "408 Request Timeout" when a timeout occurs while
reading the request body. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_http2: connection shutdown revisited: corrected edge cases on
shutting down ongoing streams, changed log warnings to be less noisy
when waiting on long running tasks. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: changed all AP_DEBUG_ASSERT to ap_assert to have them
available also in normal deployments. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: 100-continue handling now properly implemented
up to the backend. Reused HTTP/2 proxy connections with more than a second
not used will block request bodies until a PING answer is received.
Requests headers are not delayed by this, since they are repeatable in
case of failure. This greatly increases robustness, especially with
busy server and/or low keepalive connections. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: fixed duplicate symbols with mod_http2.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: rewrite of how responses and trailers are transferred between
master and slave connection. Reduction of internal states for tasks
and streams, stability. Heuristic id generation for slave connections
to better keep promise of connection ids unique at given point int time.
Fix for mod_cgid interop in high load situtations.
Fix for handling of incoming trailers when no request body is sent.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fix suspended handling for streams. Output could become
blocked in rare cases. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mpm_winnt: Prevent a denial of service when the 'data' AcceptFilter is in
use by replacing it with the 'connect' filter. PR 59970. [Jacob Champion]
*) mod_cgid: Resolve a case where a short CGI response causes a subsequent
CGI to be killed prematurely, resulting in a truncated subsequent
response. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_proxy_hcheck: Set health check URI and expression correctly for health
check worker. PR 60038 [zdeno < zdeno scnet.sk >]
*) mod_http2: if configured with nghttp2 1.14.0 and onward, invalid request
headers will immediately reset the stream with a PROTOCOL error. Feature
logged by module on startup as 'INVHD' in info message.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: fixed handling of stream buffers during shutdown.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_reqtimeout: Fix body timeout disabling for CONNECT requests to avoid
triggering mod_proxy_connect's AH01018 once the tunnel is established.
[Yann Ylavic]
*) ab: Set the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension on outgoing TLS
connections (unless -I is specified), according to the Host header (if
any) or the requested URL's hostname otherwise. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy_fcgi: avoid loops when ProxyErrorOverride is enabled
and the error documents are proxied. PR 55415. [Luca Toscano]
*) mod_proxy_fcgi: read the whole FCGI response even when the content
has not been modified (HTTP 304) or in case of a precondition failure
(HTTP 412) to avoid subsequent bogus reads and confusing
error messages logged. [Luca Toscano]
*) mod_http2: h2 status resource follows latest draft, see
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-benfield-http2-debug-state-01.txt
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: handling graceful shutdown gracefully, e.g. handling existing

available before the request is sent. PR 57832. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Prevent redirect loops between workers within a
balancer by limiting the number of redirects to the number balancer
members. PR 59864 [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_proxy: Correctly consider error response codes by the backend when
processing failonstatus. PR 59869 [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_dav: Add dav_get_provider_name() function to obtain the name
of the provider from mod_dav. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_dav: Add support for childtags to dav_error.
[Jari Urpalainen < jari.urpalainen nokia.com >]

string showing up in SCRIPT_FILENAME. PR59815
*) mod_include: Fix a potential memory misuse while evaluating expressions.
PR59844. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_http2: new H2CopyFiles directive that changes treatment of file
handles in responses. Necessary in order to fix broken lifetime handling
in modules such as mod_wsgi.
*) mod_http2: removing timeouts on master connection while requests are
being processed. Requests may timeout, but the master only times out when
no more requests are active. [Stefan Eissing]

connection is HTTP/1.1. [Patch supplied by Evgeny Kotkov]
*) mod_http2: improved cleanup of connection/streams/tasks to always
have deterministic order regardless of event initiating it. Addresses
reported crashes due to memory read after free issues.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_ssl: Correct the interaction between SSLProxyCheckPeerCN and newer
SSLProxyCheckPeerName directives since release 2.4.5, such that disabling
either disables both, and that enabling either triggers the new, more
comprehensive SSLProxyCheckPeerName behavior. Only a single configuration
remains to enable the legacy behavior, which is to explicitly disable
SSLProxyCheckPeerName, and enable SSLProxyCheckPeerCN. [William Rowe]
*) mod_include: add the < !--#comment ... > syntax in order to include comments
in a SSI file. [Christophe Jaillet based on a suggestion from Rob]
*) mod_http2: improved event handling for suspended streams, responses
and window updates. [Stefan Eissing]

*) mod_http2: Fix async write issue that led to selection of wrong timeout
vs. keepalive timeout selection for idle sessions. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: checking LimitRequestLine, LimitRequestFields and
LimitRequestFieldSize configurated values for incoming streams. Returning
HTTP status 431 for too long/many headers fields and 414 for a too long
pseudo header. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: tracking conn_rec->current_thread on slave connections, so
that mod_lua finds the correct one. Fixes PR 59542. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_proxy_http2: new experimental http2 proxy module for h2: and h2c: proxy
urls. Part of the httpd mod_proxy framework, common settings apply.
Requests from the same HTTP/2 frontend connection against the same backend
are aggregated on a single connection.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: slave connections have conn_rec->aborted flag set when a stream
has been reset by the client. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: merge of some 2.4.x adaptions re filters on slave connections.
Small fixes in bucket beams when forwarding file buckets. Output handling
on master connection uses less FLUSH and passes automatically when more
than half of H2StreamMaxMemSize bytes have accumulated.
Workaround for http: when forwarding partial file buckets to keep the
output filter from closing these too early. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: elimination of fixed master connection buffer for TLS
connections. New scratch bucket handling optimized for TLS write sizes.
File bucket data read directly into scratch buffers, avoiding one
copy. Non-TLS connections continue to pass buckets unchanged to the core
filters to allow sendfile() usage. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2/mod_proxy_http2: h2_request.c is no longer shared between these
modules. This simplifies building on platforms such as Windows, as module
reference used in logging is now clear. [Stefan Eissing]
*) Scoreboard: Fix a regression in 2.4.20 that causes wrong request data
to be displayed on the status page. PR 59333. [Yann Ylavic, William Rowe]
*) mod_http2: fixed a bug that caused mod_proxy_http2 to be called for window
updates on requests it had already reported done. Added synchronization
on early connection/stream close that lets ongoing requests safely drain
their input filters.
[Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: scoreboard updates that summarize the h2 session (and replace
the last request information) will only happen when the session is idle or
in shutdown/done phase. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: new "bucket beam" technology to transport buckets across
threads without buffer copy. Delaying response start until flush or
enough body data has been accumulated. Overall significantly smaller
memory footprint. [Stefan Eissing]
*) core: New CGIVar directive can configure REQUEST_URI to represent the
current URI being processed instead of always the original request.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) scoreboard/status: Restore behavior of showing workers' previous Client,
VHost and Request values when idle, like in 2.4.18 and earlier.
*) mod_http2: r->protocol changed to "HTTP/2.0" (was "HTTP/2") as this will
give expected syntax in CGI's SERVER_PROTOCOL is more compatible with
existing major/minor handling. Fixes PR 59313.

*) 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.
