-*- coding: utf-8 -*- Changes with Apache 2.4.62 *) mod_proxy: Fix canonicalisation and FCGI env (PATH_INFO, SCRIPT_NAME) for "balancer:" URLs set via SetHandler, also allowing for "unix:" sockets with BalancerMember(s). PR 69168. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_proxy: Avoid AH01059 parsing error for SetHandler "unix:" URLs. PR 69160 [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_ssl: Fix crashes in PKCS#11 ENGINE support with OpenSSL 3.2. [Joe Orton] *) mod_ssl: Add support for loading certs/keys from pkcs11: URIs via OpenSSL 3.x providers. [Ingo Franzki <ifranzki linux.ibm.com>] *) mod_ssl: Restore SSL dumping on trace7 loglevel with OpenSSL >= 3.0. [Ruediger Pluem, Yann Ylavic] *) mpm_worker: Fix possible warning (AH00045) about children processes not terminating timely. [Yann Ylavic] Changes with Apache 2.4.61 *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-39884: Apache HTTP Server: source code disclosure with handlers configured via AddType (cve.mitre.org) A regression in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 ignores some use of the legacy content-type based configuration of handlers. "AddType" and similar configuration, under some circumstances where files are requested indirectly, result in source code disclosure of local content. For example, PHP scripts may be served instead of interpreted. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.61, which fixes this issue. Changes with Apache 2.4.60 *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-39573: Apache HTTP Server: mod_rewrite proxy handler substitution (cve.mitre.org) Potential SSRF in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL's to be handled by mod_proxy. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38477: Apache HTTP Server: Crash resulting in Denial of Service in mod_proxy via a malicious request (cve.mitre.org) null pointer dereference in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to crash the server via a malicious request. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38476: Apache HTTP Server may use exploitable/malicious backend application output to run local handlers via internal redirect (cve.mitre.org) Vulnerability in core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier are vulnerably to information disclosure, SSRF or local script execution via backend applications whose response headers are malicious or exploitable. Note: Some legacy uses of the 'AddType' directive to connect a request to a handler must be ported to 'AddHandler' after this fix. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38475: Apache HTTP Server weakness in mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches filesystem path. (cve.mitre.org) Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure. Substitutions in server context that use a backreferences or variables as the first segment of the substitution are affected. Some unsafe RewiteRules will be broken by this change and the rewrite flag "UnsafePrefixStat" can be used to opt back in once ensuring the substitution is appropriately constrained. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38474: Apache HTTP Server weakness with encoded question marks in backreferences (cve.mitre.org) Substitution encoding issue in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows attacker to execute scripts in directories permitted by the configuration but not directly reachable by any URL or source disclosure of scripts meant to only to be executed as CGI. Note: Some RewriteRules that capture and substitute unsafely will now fail unless rewrite flag "UnsafeAllow3F" is specified. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38473: Apache HTTP Server proxy encoding problem (cve.mitre.org) Encoding problem in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows request URLs with incorrect encoding to be sent to backend services, potentially bypassing authentication via crafted requests. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-38472: Apache HTTP Server on Windows UNC SSRF (cve.mitre.org) SSRF in Apache HTTP Server on Windows allows to potentially leak NTML hashes to a malicious server via SSRF and malicious requests or content Note: Existing configurations that access UNC paths will have to configure new directive "UNCList" to allow access during request processing. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-36387: Apache HTTP Server: DoS by Null pointer in websocket over HTTP/2 (cve.mitre.org) Serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over a HTTP/2 connection could result in a Null Pointer dereference, leading to a crash of the server process, degrading performance. Credits: Marc Stern (<marc.stern AT approach-cyber.com>) *) mod_proxy: Fix DNS requests and connections closed before the configured addressTTL. BZ 69126. [Yann Ylavic] *) core: On Linux, log the real thread ID in error logs. [Joe Orton] *) 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_ssl: Reject client-initiated renegotiation with a TLS alert (rather than connection closure). [Joe Orton, Yann Ylavic] *) Updated mime.types. [Mohamed Akram <mohd.akram outlook.com>, Adam Silverstein <adamsilverstein earthboundhosting.com>] *) mod_ssl: Fix a regression that causes the default DH parameters for a key no longer set and thus effectively disabling DH ciphers when no explicit DH parameters are set. PR 68863 [Ruediger Pluem] *) mod_cgid: Optional support for file descriptor passing, fixing error log handling (configure --enable-cgid-fdpassing) on Unix platforms. PR 54221. [Joe Orton] *) mod_cgid/mod_cgi: Distinguish script stderr output clearly in error logs. PR 61980. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>] *) mod_tls: update version of rustls-ffi to v0.13.0. [Daniel McCarney (@cpu}] *) mod_md: - Using OCSP stapling information to trigger certificate renewals. Proposed by @frasertweedale. - Added directive `MDCheckInterval` to control how often the server checks for detected revocations. Added proposals for configurations in the README.md chapter "Revocations". - OCSP stapling: accept OCSP responses without a `nextUpdate` entry which is allowed in RFC 6960. Treat those as having an update interval of 12 hours. Added by @frasertweedale. - Adapt OpenSSL usage to changes in their API. By Yann Ylavic. Changes with Apache 2.4.59 *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-27316: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 DoS by memory exhaustion on endless continuation frames (cve.mitre.org) HTTP/2 incoming headers exceeding the limit are temporarily buffered in nghttp2 in order to generate an informative HTTP 413 response. If a client does not stop sending headers, this leads to memory exhaustion. Credits: Bartek Nowotarski (https://nowotarski.info/) *) SECURITY: CVE-2024-24795: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP Response Splitting in multiple modules (cve.mitre.org) HTTP Response splitting in multiple modules in Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker that can inject malicious response headers into backend applications to cause an HTTP desynchronization attack. After this change, CGI-like scripts cannot set Transfer-Encoding or Content-Length headers. To restore the ability to set Content-Length header, set per-request environment variable 'ap_trust_cgilike_cl' to any non-empty value. Credits: Keran Mu, Tsinghua University and Zhongguancun Laboratory. *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-38709: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP response splitting (cve.mitre.org) Faulty input validation in the core of Apache allows malicious or exploitable backend/content generators to split HTTP responses. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.58. Credits: Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) from DEVCORE *) mod_deflate: Fixes and better logging for handling various error and edge cases. [Eric Covener, Yann Ylavic, Joe Orton, Eric Norris <enorris etsy.com>] *) Add CGIScriptTimeout to mod_cgi. [Eric Covener] *) mod_xml2enc: Tolerate libxml2 2.12.0 and later. PR 68610 [ttachi <tachihara AT hotmail.com>] *) mod_slotmem_shm: Use ap_os_is_path_absolute() to make it portable. [Jean-Frederic Clere] *) mod_ssl: Use OpenSSL-standard functions to assemble CA name lists for SSLCACertificatePath/SSLCADNRequestPath. Names will now be consistently sorted. PR 61574. [Joe Orton] *) mod_xml2enc: Update check to accept any text/ media type or any XML media type per RFC 7303, avoiding corruption of Microsoft OOXML formats. PR 64339. [Joseph Heenan <joseph.heenan fintechlabs.io>, Joe Orton] *) mod_http2: v2.0.26 with the following fixes: - Fixed `Date` header on requests upgraded from HTTP/1.1 (h2c). Fixes <https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/272>. - Fixed small memory leak in h2 header bucket free. Thanks to Michael Kaufmann for finding this and providing the fix. *) htcacheclean: In -a/-A mode, list all files per subdirectory rather than only one. PR 65091. [Artem Egorenkov <aegorenkov.91 gmail.com>] *) mod_ssl: SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile/Path may reference files which include CA certificates; those CA certs are treated as if configured with SSLProxyMachineCertificateChainFile. [Joe Orton] *) htpasswd, htdbm, dbmmanage: Update help&docs to refer to "hashing", rather than "encrypting" passwords. [Michele Preziuso <mpreziuso kaosdynamics.com>] *) mod_ssl: Fix build with LibreSSL 2.0.7+. PR 64047. [Giovanni Bechis, Yann Ylavic] *) htpasswd: Add support for passwords using SHA-2. [Joe Orton, Yann Ylavic] *) core: Allow mod_env to override system environment vars. [Joe Orton] *) Allow mod_dav_fs to tolerate race conditions between PROPFIND and an operation which removes a directory/file between apr_dir_read() and apr_stat(). Current behaviour is to abort the connection which seems inferior to tolerating (and logging) the error. [Joe Orton] *) mod_ldap: HTML-escape data in the ldap-status handler. [Eric Covener, Chamal De Silva] *) mod_ssl: Disable the OpenSSL ENGINE API when OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE is set. Allow for "SSLCryptoDevice builtin" if the ENGINE API is not available, notably with OpenSSL >= 3. PR 68080. [Yann Ylavic, Joe Orton] *) mod_ssl: Improve compatibility with OpenSSL 3, fix build warnings about deprecated ENGINE_ API, honor OPENSSL_API_COMPAT setting while defaulting to compatibitily with version 1.1.1 (including ENGINEs / SSLCryptoDevice). [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_ssl: release memory to the OS when needed. [Giovanni Bechis] *) mod_proxy: Ignore (and warn about) enablereuse=on for ProxyPassMatch when some dollar substitution (backreference) happens in the hostname or port part of the URL. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_proxy: Allow to set a TTL for how long DNS resolutions to backend systems are cached. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_proxy: Add optional third argument for ProxyRemote, which configures Basic authentication credentials to pass to the remote proxy. PR 37355. [Joe Orton] Changes with Apache 2.4.58 *) 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. Credits: Prof. Sven Dietrich (City University of New York) *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-31122: mod_macro buffer over-read (cve.mitre.org) Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in mod_macro of Apache HTTP Server.This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.57. Credits: David Shoon (github/davidshoon) *) 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') - add 'application/vnd.geogebra.slides' - add WebAssembly MIME types and extension [Mathias Bynens <@mathiasbynens> via PR 318, Richard de Boer <richard tubul.net>, Dave Hodder <dmh dmh.org.uk>, Zbynek Konecny <zbynek1729 gmail.com>] *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed using the wrong "bucket_alloc" from the backend connection when sending data on the frontend one. This caused crashes or infinite loops in rare situations. *) mod_proxy_http2: fixed a bug in retry/response handling that could lead to wrong status codes or HTTP messages send at the end of response bodies exceeding the announced content-length. *) 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. *) mod_http2: fixed a bug that did cleanup of consumed and pending buckets in the wrong order when a bucket_beam was destroyed. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: avoid double chunked-encoding on internal redirects. PR 66597 [Yann Ylavic, Stefan Eissing] *) mod_http2: Fix reporting of `Total Accesses` in server-status to not count HTTP/2 requests twice. Fixes PR 66801. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_ssl: Fix handling of Certificate Revoked messages in OCSP stapling. PR 66626. [<gmoniker gmail.com>] *) mod_http2: fixed a bug in handling of stream timeouts. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_tls: updating to rustls-ffi version 0.9.2 or higher. Checking in configure for proper version installed. Code fixes for changed clienthello member name. [Stefan Eissing] *) 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. Using PR from Jérôme Billiras (@bilhackmac) and adding test case and fixing proper working - 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>. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_dav: Add DavBasePath directive to configure the repository root path. PR 35077. [Joe Orton] *) mod_alias: Add AliasPreservePath directive to map the full path after the alias in a location. [Graham Leggett] *) mod_alias: Add RedirectRelative to allow relative redirect targets to be issued as-is. [Eric Covener, Graham Leggett] *) core: Add formats %{z} and %{strftime-format} to ErrorLogFormat, and make sure that if the format is configured early enough it applies to every log line. PR 62161. [Yann Ylavic] *) 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] *) core: Optimize send_brigade_nonblocking(). [Yann Ylavic, Christophe Jaillet] *) mod_status: Remove duplicate keys "BusyWorkers" and "IdleWorkers". Resolve inconsistency between the previous two occurrences by counting workers in state SERVER_GRACEFUL no longer as busy, but instead in a new counter "GracefulWorkers" (or on HTML view as "workers gracefully restarting"). Also add the graceful counter as a new column to the existing HTML per process table for async MPMs. PR 63300. [Rainer Jung] Changes with Apache 2.4.57 *) mod_proxy: Check before forwarding that a nocanon path has not been rewritten with spaces during processing. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_proxy: In case that AllowEncodedSlashes is set to NoDecode do not double encode encoded slashes in the URL sent by the reverse proxy to the backend. [Ruediger Pluem] *) mod_http2: fixed a crash during connection termination. See PR 66539. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_rewrite: Fix a 2.4.56 regression for substitutions ending in a question mark. PR66547. [Eric Covener] *) mod_rewrite: Add "BCTLS" and "BNE" RewriteRule flags. Re-allow encoded characters on redirections without the "NE" flag. [Yann Ylavic, Eric Covener] *) mod_proxy: Fix double encoding of the uri-path of the request forwarded to the origin server, when using mapping=encoded|servlet. [Yann Ylavic] *) mod_mime: Do not match the extention against possible query string parameters in case ProxyPass was used with the nocanon option.

This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.30 through 2.4.55. Special characters in the origin response header can truncate/split the response forwarded to the client. Credits: Dimas Fariski Setyawan Putra (nyxsorcerer) *) 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.

[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.

[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. [Stefan Eissing] *) mod_proxy_hcheck: Re-enable workers in standard ERROR state. PR 66302.

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.

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.
