It is - possible that some third-party modules will no longer work with - 1.1, though we have made every effort to provide - backwards-compatibility. If you encounter a module that does - not work with 1.1, please <a - href="http://httpd.apache.org/bug_report.html">let us know</a>. - - - <h2>New Features with Apache 1.1</h2> - - <p>New features with this release, as extensions of the Apache - functionality (see also more detailed <code>CHANGES</code> file - in the source directory.) Because the core code has changed so - significantly, there are certain liberties that earlier - versions of Apache (and the NCSA daemon) took that recent - Apache versions are pickier about - please check the <a - href="misc/compat_notes.html">compatibility notes</a> if you - have any problems.</p> - <hr /> - - <p>In addition to a number of bug fixes and internal - performance enhancements, <a - href="http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/">Apache 1.1</a> has the - following specific new user features:</p> - - <ul> - <li><strong><a href="keepalive.html">Support for Keep-Alive - Persistent Connections</a></strong><br /> - Apache now has (optional) support for persistent - connections, as defined by the HTTP/1.1 draft. This protocol, - supported by a number of current HTTP servers and browsers - (including Netscape Navigator 2.0) has been shown to increase - speed of document transfer by up to 50% in certain - cases.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="vhosts/">New non-IP - Intensive-VirtualHost Support</a></strong><br /> - Apache's support for virtual hosts has been enhanced to be - able to use information sent by some new Web browsers to - determine the server being accessed, without requiring an - additional IP address for each host.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="bind.html">Listen to Multiple Addresses - and Ports</a></strong><br /> - Using the new <code>Listen</code> directive, Apache can - listen to more than one port and IP address, using the same - configuration set.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_status.html">Status - Module</a></strong><br /> - Apache now contains a module that gives the web-master - accurate, up-to-date information about the server's status - and its resource consumption. It also gives the current state - of each server process including the current URL being - processed. For an example, check out <a - href="http://www.apache.org/server-status">the status of the - www.apache.org server</a>.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_info.html">Server Information - Module</a></strong> This module gives a plethora of - information about the other modules installed, their - directives, and their configurations. It is extremely helpful - in debugging configuration problems. For an example, check - out <a href="http://www.apache.org/server-info">information - about the www.apache.org server</a>.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_proxy.html">Experimental Caching - Proxy Server</a></strong><br /> - Apache can now act as an HTTP proxy server, allowing clients - behind firewalls to use the server to access the outside - world. In addition, it can cache documents it proxies, - speeding up access to frequently requested documents.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="location.html">URL-based Access - Protection</a></strong><br /> - In addition to access checking and authorization by filename - (with <code><a - href="mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>), - the new <code><Location></code> directive allows - protection by URL.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_actions.html">Filetype-based - Script "Actions"</a></strong><br /> - You can now run CGI scripts whenever a file of a certain - type is requested. This makes it much easier to execute - scripts that process files. In addition, you can use the new - <a href="mod/mod_actions.html#script">Script</a> directive to - enable scripts for files called with HTTP methods Apache does - not natively support.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="handler.html">New "Handler" - Directives</a></strong><br /> - The new <code>AddHandler</code> and <code>SetHandler</code> - directive allows "handlers" to be defined for filename - extensions or directories. These handlers, which can either - be built into Apache or added with the <a - href="mod/mod_actions.html">Action</a> directive, extend - Apache's range of usability, and almost entirely remove the - "magic" media types.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_env.html">Customizable CGI - Environment Variables</a></strong><br /> - New <code>PassEnv</code> and <code>SetEnv</code> directives - allow you to modify the environment variables passed to CGI - scripts.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_cern_meta.html">CERN Metafile - Support</a></strong><br /> - Now emulates the CERN httpd's support for metafiles - containing additional HTTP headers to be supplied with a - document.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_imap.html">Improved Imagemap - Support</a></strong><br /> - The internal imagemap handling code has been rewritten and - reorganized, adding new handling of default, base and - relative URLs, and support for creating non-graphical menus - for use with clients that do not support imagemaps.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_userdir.html">Improved UserDir - Directive</a></strong><br /> - Now supports the ability to point user's files (as specified - by URLs beginning with the "<code>~</code>" character) at - directories other than those specified by the Unix password - file.</li> - - <li><strong>Minimal DNS Now Runtime Option</strong><br /> - New <code>HostnameLookups</code> server configuration - directive can be used to turn <code>On</code> or - <code>Off</code> DNS lookups. This supersedes the - -DMINIMAL_DNS compile-time configuration option. This option - can be set per-directory.</li> - - <li><strong>IdentityCheck Now Per-Directory - Option</strong><br /> - The <code>IdentityCheck</code> directive, which controls the - use of ident to check the remote user name, can now be set - per directory. The ident support is also RFC - 1413-compliant.</li> - - <li><strong>Redirect Now Usable in <code>.htaccess</code> - Files</strong><br /> - The <a - href="mod/mod_alias.html#redirect"><code>Redirect</code></a> - directive can now be used in <code>.htaccess</code> files - when the <code>FileInfo</code> directive has been set on. - This allows users to redirect parts of their directories - without requiring CGI scripts</li> - - <li><strong>ErrorDocument Now Usable in - <code>.htaccess</code> Files</strong><br /> - The <a - href="custom-error.html"><code>ErrorDocument</code></a> - directive can now be used in <code>.htaccess</code> files - when the <code>FileInfo</code> directive has been set on. - This allows users to have different error messages for - different sections of a site.</li> - - <li><strong><code>ForceType</code> Directive</strong><br /> - This new directive, in <code><Directory></code> - sections or .htaccess files, allows you to override the - filename extensions and force a single content type. - (<em>e.g.</em>, <code>ForceType - application/octet-stream</code>)</li> - - <li><strong>File Owner Available to Included CGI - Scripts</strong><br /> - Server-side includes that call CGI scripts will now set a - <code>USER_NAME</code> environment variable that contains the - owner of the file which included it.</li> - - <li><strong>Improved Icons</strong><br /> - Thanks to <a href="mailto:kevinh@eit.com">Kevin Hughes</a>, - Apache's nifty color GIF icons for directory listings have - been updated.

They must be enabled specifically in the - <code>Configuration</code> file.</p> - - <ul> - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_auth_anon.html">Anonymous HTTP - Logins</a></strong><br /> - New options allow you to allow, using Basic HTTP - Authentication, anonymous logins, like those of FTP.
