Apache - does, however, still work great with HTTP/1.0 browsers. We are very - close to being unconditionally compliant; if you note any deviance - from the proposed standard, please report it as a bug. - - *) eXtended Server Side Includes (XSSI) - A new set of server-side include directives allows the user to - better create WWW pages. This includes number of powerful new - features, such as the ability to set variables and use conditional - HTML. - - *) File-based and Regex-enabled Directive Sections - The new <Files> section allows directives to be enabled based on - full filename, not just directory and URL. In addition, <Files> - sections can appear in .htaccess files. <Files>, along with - <Directory> and <Location>, can also now be based on regular - expressions, not just simple prefix matching. - - *) Browser-based Environment Variables - Environment variables can now be set based on the User-Agent - string of the browser. Combined with XSSI, this allows you to - write browser-based conditional HTML documents. - - *) SetUID CGI Execution - Apache now supports the execution of CGI scripts as users other - than the server user. A number of security checks are built in to - try and make this as safe as possible. - - *) URL Rewriting Module - The optional mod_rewrite module is now included. This module can - provide powerful URL mapping, using regular expressions. There's - nothing this module can't do! - - *) Enhanced, Configurable Logging - The optional mod_log_config included with earlier versions of - Apache is now standard, and has been enhanced to allow logging of - much more detail about the transaction, and can be used to open - more than one log at once (each of which can have a different log - format). - - *) User Tracking (Cookies) Revisions - The mod_cookies included with previous versions of Apache has been - renamed mod_usertrack, to more accurately reflect its function - (some people inadvertently thought it enabled cookie support in - Apache, which is not true - Apache supports the use of cookies - directly). It is also now possible to disable the generation of - cookies, even when the cookie module is compiled in. Also, an - expiry time can be set on the cookies. - - *) Multiple IPs in <VirtualHost> - The <VirtualHost> directive can now take more than one IP address - or hostname. This lets a single vhost handles requests for - multiple IPs or hostnames. - - *) CGI Debugging Environment - ScriptLog allows you to now set up a log that records all input - and output to failed CGI scripts. This includes environment - variables, input headers, POST data, output, and more. This makes - CGI scripts much easier to debug. - - *) Resource Limits for CGI Scripts - New directives allow the limiting of resources used by CGI scripts - (e.g. max CPU time). This is helpful in preventing 'runaway' CGI - processes. - - *) Redirect Directive Can Return Alternate Status - The Redirect directive can return permanent or temporary redirects, - "Gone" or "See Other" HTTP status. For NCSA-compatibility, - RedirectTemp and RedirectPermanent are also implemented. - - *) Graceful Restarts - Apache can re-read the config files and re-open log files without - terminating transactions in progress. - - *) Simplified Compilation - The process of configuring Apache for compilation has been - simplified. - - *) Add or Remove Options - The Options directive can now add or remove options from those - currently in force, rather than always replacing them. - - *) Command-line Help - The -h command-line option now lists all the available directives. - - *) Optional Headers Module to Set or Remove HTTP Headers - The optional mod_headers module can be used to set custom headers - in the HTTP response. It can append to existing headers, replace - them, or remove headers from the response. - - *) Conditional Config Directives - A new <IfModule> section allows directives to be enabled only if a - given module is loaded into the server. - - *) Authorization Directives Now Use NCSA-style Syntax - The AuthUserFile, AuthGroupFile and AuthDigestFile commands now - have a syntax compatible with the NCSA server. - - *) Optional Proxy Module - An improved FTP, HTTP, and CONNECT mode SSL proxy is included with - Apache 1.2. Some of the changes visible to users: - - - Improved FTP proxy supporting PASV mode - - CONNECT mode ports are configurable from a list - - NoCache * directive for disabling proxy caching - - Numerous bug fixes - - *) Optional Example Module - An example module that demonstrates many of the aspects of the - API is now included with Apache as of version 1.2. It can be - used as a base for those who wish to write their own Apache - modules. |
