It is possible that - some modules will no longer work (specifically, those that - process input using the POST or PUT methods). If you encounter - a module that does not work, please contact the author. A <a - href="misc/client_block_api.html">programmer's note</a> on the - subject is available.</p> - - <p>Additionally, some changes were made to the CGI environment - that may cause some CGI scripts to work incorrectly. If you are - experiencing trouble with a CGI that worked fine under Apache - 1.1.1, please see <a href="cgi_path.html">our explanation of - the changes.</a></p> - - <h2>New Features with Apache 1.2</h2> - - <p>New features with this release, as extensions of the Apache - functionality. 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 1.2</a> has the - following specific new user features:</p> - - <ul> - <!-- change the "name" to an "href" if/when there's such a document --> - - <li><strong><a id="http11.html" name="http11.html">HTTP/1.1 - Compliance</a></strong> [Documentation to be written]<br /> - Aside from the optional proxy module (which operates as - HTTP/1.0), Apache is conditionally compliant with the - HTTP/1.1 proposed standard, as approved by the IESG and the - <a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/">IETF HTTP - working group</a>. HTTP/1.1 provides a much-improved - protocol, and should allow for greater performance and - efficiency when transferring files. 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.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_include.html">eXtended Server - Side Includes (XSSI)</a></strong><br /> - 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.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/core.html#files">File-based and - Regex-enabled Directive Sections</a></strong><br /> - The new <a - href="mod/core.html#files"><code><Files></code></a> - section allows directives to be enabled based on full - filename, not just directory and URL. In addition, - <code><Files></code> sections can appear in - <code>.htaccess</code> files. <code><Files></code>, - along with <a - href="mod/core.html#directory"><code><Directory></code></a> - and <a - href="mod/core.html#location"><code><Location></code></a>, - can also now be based on regular expressions, not just simple - prefix matching.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_browser.html">Browser-based - Environment Variables</a></strong><br /> - Environment variables can now be set based on the - <code>User-Agent</code> string of the browser. Combined with - <a href="mod/mod_include.html">XSSI</a>, this allows you to - write browser-based conditional HTML documents.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="suexec.html">SetUID CGI - Execution</a></strong><br /> - 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.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_rewrite.html">URL Rewriting - Module</a></strong><br /> - The optional <code>mod_rewrite</code> module is now - included. This module can provide powerful URL mapping, using - regular expressions. There's nothing this module can't - do!</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_log_config.html">Enhanced, - Configurable Logging</a></strong><br /> - The optional <code>mod_log_config</code> 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 <a - href="multilogs.html">more than one log file</a> at once - (each of which can have a different log format). If you have - Apache write any logs to a directory which is writable by - anyone other than the user that starts the server, see the <a - href="misc/security_tips.html">security tips</a> document to - be sure you aren't putting the security of your server at - risk.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_usertrack.html">User Tracking - (Cookies) Revisions</a></strong><br /> - The <code>mod_cookies</code> included with previous versions - of Apache has been renamed <code>mod_usertrack</code>, 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.</li> - - <li><strong><a - href="mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost> - Enhancements</a></strong><br /> - 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. Also the special - section <VirtualHost _default_> can be used to handle - requests normally left for the main server - configuration.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_cgi.html#cgi_debug">CGI - Debugging Environment</a></strong><br /> - <code>ScriptLog</code> allows you to now set up a log that - records all input and output to failed CGI scripts.

For - NCSA-compatibility, RedirectTemp and RedirectPermanent are - also implemented.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="install.html">Simplified - Compilation</a></strong><br /> - The process of configuring Apache for compilation has been - simplified.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/core.html#options">Add or Remove - Options</a></strong><br /> - The <code>Options</code> directive can now add or remove - options from those currently in force, rather than always - replacing them.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="invoking.html#help">Command-line - Help</a></strong><br /> - The <code>-h</code> command-line option now lists all the - available directives.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/mod_headers.html">Optional Headers - Module to Set or Remove HTTP Headers</a></strong><br /> - The optional <code>mod_headers</code> 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.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/core.html#ifmodule">Conditional - Config Directives</a></strong><br /> - A new <code><IfModule></code> section allows - directives to be enabled only if a given module is loaded - into the server.</li> - - <li><strong><a href="mod/core.html#satisfy">NCSA Satisfy - authentication directive now implemented</a></strong><br /> - <code>Satisfy</code> allows for more flexible access control - configurations.</li> - - <li><strong>Better NCSA Compatibility</strong><br /> - Apache directives are now more compatible with NCSA 1.5 to - make moving between servers easier. In particular, Apache now - implements the <a - href="mod/core.html#satisfy"><code>Satisfy</code></a>, <a - href="mod/core.html#maxkeepaliverequests">MaxKeepAliveRequests</a>, - <a - href="mod/mod_alias.html#redirectperm">RedirectPermanent</a> - and <a - href="mod/mod_alias.html#redirecttemp">RedirectTemp</a>, - directives, and the following directives are now - syntax-compatible with NCSA: <a - href="mod/mod_auth.html#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a>, <a - href="mod/mod_auth.html#authgroupfile">AuthGroupFile</a>, <a - href="mod/mod_digest.html#authdigestfile">AuthDigestFile</a>, - <a href="mod/core.html#keepalive">KeepAlive</a> and <a - href="mod/core.html#keepalivetimeout">KeepAliveTimeout</a>.</li> - - <li> - <strong><a href="mod/mod_proxy.html">Optional proxy - module</a></strong><br /> - An improved FTP, HTTP, and CONNECT mode SSL proxy is - included with Apache 1.2.
