[Dean Gaudet] PR #122 > > *) Fixed status of response when POST is received for a nonexistant URL > (was sending 405, now 404) and when any method is sent with a > full-URI that doesn't match the server and the server is not acting > as a proxy (was sending 501, now 403).

Also > improved the ordering of the test so that chunked encoding will > be set whenever it is desired instead of only when KeepAlive > is enabled.

[Roy Fielding] > > *) Added missing timeouts for sending header fields, error responses, > and the last chunk of chunked encoding, each of which could have > resulted in a process being stuck in write forever.

[Dean Gaudet] > > *) Updated mod_rewrite to version 3.0.2, which: fixes compile error on > AIX; improves the redirection stuff to enable the users to generally > redirect to http, https, gopher and ftp; added TIME variable for > RewriteCond which expands to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS strings and added the > special patterns >STRING, <STRING and =STRING to RewriteCond, which > can be used in conjunction with %{TIME} or other variables to create > time-dependent rewriting rules.

[Roy Fielding] > > *) Rearranged main child loop to remove duplication of code in > select/accept and keep-alive requests, fixed several bugs regarding > checking scoreboard_image for exit indication and failure to > account for all success conditions and trap all error conditions, > prevented multiple flushes before closing the socket; close the entire > socket buffer instead of just one descriptor, prevent logging of > EPROTO and ECONNABORTED on platforms where supported, and generally > improved readability. [Roy Fielding] > > *) Extensive performance improvements.
