Topic: Apache httpd 2.4.34-dev VC15 snapshot 2 available :: updated

[Steffen]

The ASF HTTPD project is preparing a vote for the next Apache httpd 2.4.34. The vote window is quite short, so we come with development snapshots to make the testing-time longer.

It contains already committed changes for 2.4.34.

When more changes are applied we come with a new snapshot.

Download Removed 2.4.34 GA now available, thanks for testing.

The snapshot is based on svn branches/2.4 Revision 1835314 (Sat Jul 7 14:49:14 2018 UTC).


Build with Visual Studio Professional 2017 15.7.4

the first one is handled. The other ones are silently ignored.
Add a message to warn about such a spurious configuration.
PR 62469 [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>, Christophe Jaillet]

*) mod_md: improvements and bugfixes

PR 62480. [Lubos Uhliarik <luhliari redhat.com>}

*) logging: Some early logging-related startup messages could be lost
when using syslog for the global ErrorLog. [Eric Covener]

like the case of an Expires time in the past: allow to overwrite the
non-caching decision using CacheStoreExpired and respect Cache-Control

[Micha Lenk <micha lenk.info>, Yann Ylavic]

Hot spare members are used as drop-in replacements for unusable workers

only used when all workers in a set are unusable. PR 61140. [Jim Riggs]

*) suexec: Add --enable-suexec-capabilites support on Linux, to use
setuid/setgid capability bits rather than a setuid root binary.

logging to a file; use --without-suexec-logfile --with-suexec-syslog.

any longer by the maximum number of threads per process and use a better
default if mod_http2 is loaded.

*) core: Preserve the original HTTP request method in the '%<m' LogFormat
when an path-based ErrorDocument is used. PR 62186.
