3 *) SIGUSR2 is no longer blocked in the process manager and the fastcgi
4 applications it spawns. [ryans@amazon.com]
6 *) Added support for the -flush argument to FastCgiConfig.
7 Eric Sit [esit@alum.mit.edu]
9 *) Change the "which call to module_init() is this" check to a more
10 reliable approach. Doru Petrescu [pdoru@kappa.ro]
12 *) Close the old pipe file descriptor in apache main on USR1/HUP
13 (elimnates a small leak). James E. Jurach Jr. jjurach@fundsxpress.com
15 *) Fix a bug in fcgi_config_set_authoritative_slot(). Tetsuya Furukawa
16 [tetsuya@secom-sis.co.jp]
18 *) Eliminate the use of locks to assist in the clean shutdown of
19 applications. Instead, it is assumed that applications handle
20 termination signals properly (this is now embedded in the C
23 *) Fix Win32 process termination. Proper operation requires the use of
24 an updated application lib (termination is now signalled with an
25 Event and handled by specialized thread).
27 *) Docs cleanup. Andrew Benham [adsb@bigfoot.com]
29 *) Added code so if the last instance of a dynamic application died without
30 provocation, then don't restart it if singleThreshold > 0 (i.e. if the
31 configuration allows the last instance to be killed, then allow it to die).
32 Andrew Benham [adsb@bigfoot.com]
34 *) Fix the loadFactor calculation used to determine when dyanmic
35 applications could be killed off due to low demand [adsb@bigfoot.com].
37 *) Fix a deadlock condition that could occur with Win32 named
40 *) Fix a potential deadlock condition when FastCGI application
41 sent responses while still reading the client request (POST data).
45 *) Allow absolute pathnames in the -socket argument. Suggested by
46 Christian Jaeger [christian.jaeger@sl.ethz.ch].
48 *) Don't invoke suexec when the user/group for the fastcgi application
49 is the same as the apache main server. This is consistent with
50 apache's suexec handling. Suggested by Nikolaus Rath [Nikolaus@rath.org].
52 *) Reset the apache drop dead timer upon successful read or writes
53 to/from the client. This eliminates timeouts that were occuring
54 during the large file transfers to/from slow clients.
56 *) Support generic wrappers such as cgiwrap by eliminating dependencies
57 on Apache's SUEXEC, renaming the FastCgiSuexec directive
58 FastCgiWrapper and eliminating any checks regarding the target
59 application (this is the repsonibility of the wrapper).
61 *) Fix a nasty bug that occurred when a client aborted a POST request
62 before the connection to a dynamic FastCGI application was opened.
63 The application's lock file descriptor wasn't setup but was being
64 closed which resulted in FD0 being closed. Normally this is open to
65 /dev/null and should pose no problems except that because the FD
66 was available it was being returned by Apache's accept(). This
67 caused it to be registered for pool cleanup. mod_cgi though moves
68 the CGI stdin pipe to FD0 and thus it was getting waxed during pool
69 cleanup. Problem identified by checksum@163.net.
71 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.8
73 *) Eliminate the concept of disabled applications. If a failure
74 occurs trying to setup an application (e.g. bind() error) its
75 tried repeatedly every init-start-delay seconds.
77 *) Tweak to Makefile.tmpl to support DSOs. Dave Hill [ddhill@zk3.dec.com]
79 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.6
81 *) Shutdown the PM when Apache appears to have disappeared.
83 *) seteuid() tweak for HP-UX 11. Milton L. Hankins [mlh@swl.msd.ray.com]
85 *) (Win32) More dynamic fixes.
87 *) (Win32) Eliminate the per application named pipe mutex. Its now
88 per process to keep the lib happy (the use _FCGI_MUTEX_ should
89 removed from the lib). This allows pipe-based applications to
90 now handle multiple simoultanous requests (one per process).
92 *) Increase the number of open FDs we look to close when spawning apps.
94 *) Prevent an assert from popping unnecessarily.
96 *) (Win32) Add support for interpretter scripts.
98 *) (Win32) Fix named pipe handling (problems with large responses).
100 *) (Win32) Remove the "can exec" check.
102 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.4
104 *) Beta WinNT support. David Allen [djallen@raleigh.ibm.com] and
105 Rob Saccoccio [robs@chelsea.net]
107 *) Remove request type restriction (GET and POST only) in order to support
108 Web DAV requests. Scott Robertson [sroberts@codeit.com]
110 *) Allow requests for URLs such as /server/some/other/qualifier to match a
111 FastCGI server defined as /server. This was done primarily for Java
112 Servlets, but is generically useful.
114 *) Change the comm between the PM and the request handlers from a regular
115 file to a pipe and an assortment of other dynamic fixes.
117 *) Log dynamic process termination scheduling and the resulting
118 process exit notification.
120 *) Change the default singleThreshhold from 10 to 0 to prevent the last dynamic
121 application process from being killed off due to low demand.
123 *) Clean up FastCGI application pathnames (e.g. remove duplicate slashes).
125 *) Fix bugs that prevented dynamic processes from being shutdown when
126 the load subsided. Lars Heete [heete@do.isst.fhg.de]
128 *) Prevent dynamic processes from being scheduled to be started before
129 the init-start-delay or restart-delay period expires. This prevents
130 the queuing of process start requests while an application which has
131 a long initialization period starts up.
133 *) When suexec is enabled, allow the process manager to become root again in
134 order to signal applications it spawned.
136 *) Change the "server started" log message level from INFO to WARN.
138 *) Fix dynamic server "Connection Refused" handling.
140 *) Fix demand-based dynamic process spawing (uses a more portable approach).
142 *) Add -idle-timeout arg to FastCgiServer, FastCgiExternalServer, and
143 FastCgiConfig. mod_fastcgi will now abort a connection if inactive for
144 longer than this period. It applies to the initiation of connections as
145 well (and thus is similar to appConnTimeout). Default is 30 seconds.
147 *) appConnTimeout is 0 by default now resulting in blocking connect()s. This
148 is more platform portable/predicable.
150 *) Leave STDOUT and STDERR open to the main server error_log. This should
151 eliminate a pile of protocol errors and having to track down 3rd party
152 libs writing to stderr inadvertantly. This doesn't mean these shouldn't
153 be fixed in the application to use the FastCGI I/O, it just allows these
154 applications to run when previously they'd crash and burn.
156 *) Add the pass-header arg to server directives.
158 *) Allow supplementary groups to be passed to spawned FastCGI applications (as
159 is done for CGI) - at least until PR2580 is resolved.
161 *) Initialize the default (empty) environment in a more socially acceptable
164 *) Miscellaneous doc improvements based on notes I've collected up over the
167 *) Fix a bug in the stderr handling introduced in 2.2.2. There were conditions
168 that resulted in not or improperly terminated strings.
170 *) Fix the call to setsockopt() to disable Nagle. [based on a bug report by
171 Johannes Plassmann <johannes.plassmann@pdb.siemens.de>]
173 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.2
175 *) Added support for blocking connect()s by setting appConnTimeout to 0.
176 Non-blocking connect()s (the default) can be troublesome on some platforms.
177 Its expected that blocking connect()s will become the default (and
178 non-blocking connect()s will become optional) in the next release.
180 *) Dump a compile time error if the version of Apache is too old.
182 *) Wrap the SIGPIPE handler manipulation code such that it is only applicable
183 to Apache releases prior to 1.3.6.
185 *) Minor tweaks for RUSSIAN_APACHE. [Sergey Gershtein <sg@mplik.ru>]
189 Always restart a failed dynamic application if it is the last instance.
190 This means there once started there will always be at least one process
191 instance of a dynamic application.
193 Send PLEASE_START to the PM when a connect() results in an ECONNREFUSED.
194 ECONNREFUSED means the listen queue is full (or there isn't one). Asking
195 the PM to start (another) application instance may help empty it faster.
197 Change two sleep() calls to select() based snoozes because alarm() is in
198 effect and sleep() and alarm() don't always play nice together.
200 Fixed a couple of error messages.
202 *) Fix -listen-queue-depth arg on FastCgiConfig (dynamic). Previously it
203 was ignored and the default was always used.
205 *) Allow the -initial-env argument to be used to pass variables from the
206 Apache process environment to the FastCGI server (by specifying a
207 variable name without the "=" or a value). [suggested by
208 Martin Lichtin <lichtin@oanda.com>]
210 *) Cleanup some debug macros.
212 *) Improved script stderr handling. [based on suggestions by
213 David Birnbaum <davidb@chelsea.net>]
215 *) Added IRIX and FreeBSD to the list of supported platforms and other minor
216 updates to the INSTALL doc.
218 *) Changed the default listen-queue-depth (FCGI_DEFAULT_LISTEN_Q) from
219 5 to 100. Its still configurable with the -listen-queue-depth option.
220 This should help eliminate the FAQ - Why do I see "Connection Refused"
223 *) Fix a bug in FastCgiExternalServer that broke support for external servers
224 on other hosts. [Dave Neuer <dneuer@futuristics.net>]
226 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.1
228 *) Updates to the INSTALL doc to describe building as a DSO.
230 *) If the FastCgiIpcDir directive was in use and "httpd -t" was issued while
231 Apache was running ("apachectl restart" does this), the contents of the
232 dynamic directory (dynamic sockets and the mbox) would be blown away
235 *) Add an extern declaration for ap_sys_siglist (its exposed but not in any
236 Apache header file) to prevent a compile error on systems without
239 *) During auth requests, the subprocess_env table was left holding variables
240 sent to the auth FastCGI server (including REMOTE_PASSWD!) which means they
241 were passed to other processing phases (such as CGI/FastCGI). The
242 subprocess_env is now restored to its pre-auth condition.
244 *) Added a FastCGI Authorizer Role compatibility mode which implements the
245 specification to the tee. Use -compat arg with any of the Auth server
246 directives. This is intended for new and existing FastCGI authorizer
247 applications that require compatibility with other server implementations.
249 *) Fix logging from the process manager. Previously, all calls to the
250 logging routines used NULL for the server_rec. This works fine in a dev
251 environment, but results in most of these messages being tossed by
252 log_error_core() because DEFAULT_LOGLEVEL is too low. Odd logic.
254 *) Always setup fr->header so that in the event the FastCGI server
255 doesn't get a valid FastCGI protocol header over the wire, we
256 can still print our error message to the log from do_work().
258 *) Fix a compile error in open_connection_to_fs() on systems with TCP_NODELAY
259 defined (Don Locrasto [locrasto@iceminer.com]).
261 Changes with mod_fastcgi 2.2.0
263 *) Serious rewrite of mod_fastcgi.html. An example conf will have
264 to wait until another time - I'm burned out on docs updates.
266 *) Add to the mod_fastcgi to the server version string.
268 *) SCO doesn't like the const in the arg to inet_addr() and
271 *) Use Apache's NET_SIZE_T to get the correct arg type for getsockopt().
273 *) Deleted redundant header files from fcgi.h.
275 *) Full path names are no longer required for directives which take
276 file names as arguments. Like other Apache directives you can
277 specify paths from server_root (don't start with a "/").
279 *) The fcgiKillMgr is gone. This intermediate process sat between
280 the Apache parent and the FastCGI Process Manager under Apache
281 1.2. The process manager tries to name itself fcgi_pm (it used
284 *) Authentication, Authorization, and Access phases are now
285 supported. I've bent the FastCgi spec a bit: as many of the standard
286 environment variables (that were easy) are sent (the spec says don't
287 send some by name), all headers (except Status) sent by the auth
288 FastCgi server are passed to subprocesses (CGI/FastCGI invocations)
289 as environment variables rather than just those prefixed by
290 "Variable-". Custom responses for auth failures aren't supported
291 (yet.. we'll see what the demand for this is like). In addition to
292 the FastCGI protocol defined environment variable "FCGI_ROLE" being
293 set to "AUTHORIZER" an environment variable "FCGI_APACHE_ROLE" is
294 set indicating which of the three phases is being processed. See
295 the docs for info on the new per-directory directives:
297 FastCgiAuthenticator, FastCgiAuthenticatorAuthoritative,
298 FastCgiAuthorizer, FastCgiAuthorizerAuthoritative,
299 FastCgiAccessChecker, FastCgiAccessCheckerAuthoritative
301 *) The code has been broken into logical chunks making figuring it
302 out much easier. All of the #defines a user may want to change are
303 now in mod_fastcgi.h.
305 *) All the logging has been converted to the "supported" Apache
306 logging routines, ap_log_error() and ap_log_rerror(). Log entries
307 for request specific errors should now be directed to the correct
308 server errorlog (if your running more than one). Some attempt has
309 been made at setting appropriate log levels (comments of course are
310 welcome) and printing errno info when its of value. All of log
311 messages now have "FastCGI" in them (nice for grep).
313 *) All of the calls to Apache routines have been updated to the ap_
314 convention, eliminating the need for the compat header.
316 *) By default we no longer flush every piece of data we get from the
317 FastCGI server to the client. This allows the FastCGI server to
318 release without having to wait for the client flush to complete.
319 The old behaviour can revived with the -flush argument to AppClass.
321 *) I renamed some of the directives for consistency (the old names
324 AppClass -> FastCgiServer,
325 FCGIConfig -> FastCgiConfig,
326 ExternalAppClass -> FastCgiExternalServer
328 *) Directive arguments are no longer case sensitive.
330 *) The module now uses hard_timeout() rather than soft_timeout. This
331 means that the module will longjump out of the request if the
332 drop-dead timeout expires (set with Apache's Timeout directive, the
333 default is 5min) or if the client closes the connection (SIGPIPE).
334 This is more typical for a Apache modules and I'm not convinced we
335 properly handle all of the error cases well enough to use
336 soft_timeout (I can think of one place we don't anyway). This means
337 your FastCGI application can see SIGPIPE.
339 *) SIGPIPE is now ignored by default in FastCGI servers spawned by
340 Apache. Without this the default behaviour is exit().
342 *) It should (I think) run now under DSO now.
344 *) The bug which prevented sending of binary data in 2.1b1 is fixed.
346 *) The broken -initial-env bug ins 2.1b1 is fixed.
348 *) Maybe some other stuff.
352 *** Well there's a big gap here. Maybe I'll go back and extract the CVS
353 commit notes and stick 'em in here.. when I get some free time. ;)

361 From: Stanley Gambarin <stanleyg@cs.bu.edu>
363 *) Yet more changes to the source distribution. Separated out
364 the Tcl dynamic string and buffer libraries into separate files.
365 Did the same for the OS library, however, it is not really an
366 abstraction... more like a bunch of wrappers. Added to DEVNOTES
367 a note about the problem of Apache not allowing including header
370 Apache[X1.03.01]/mod_fastcgi[02.00.04] 19970908 unsupported
371 From: Stanley Gambarin <stanleyg@cs.bu.edu>
373 *) More changes to the installation scripts. Theoretically we
374 should be able to to use the same Makefile/installation script
375 for both Apache 1.2.x and 1.3.x. Need some sort of the abstraction
376 layer to use the same source code for both 1.2.x and 1.3.x sources.
378 Apache[X1.03.01]/mod_fastcgi[02.00.03] 19970905 unsupported
379 From: Stanley Gambarin <stanleyg@cs.bu.edu>
381 *) Created Makefile to compile the module into the archive library,
382 just like the proxy module. Also initial draft of the installation
383 script, which should work for both 1.2 and 1.3 sources of Apache.
385 Apache[01.02.04]/mod_fastcgi[02.00.02] 19970903 unsupported
386 From: Stanley Gambarin <stanleyg@cs.bu.edu>
388 *) More source reorg. Separated out some header files. Need much
389 more work on this. Updated the TODO file. Added fcgivers.h and
390 CHANGES file to track the history.
392 Apache[01.02.04]/mod_fastcgi[02.00.01] 19970902 unsupported
393 From: Stanley Gambarin <stanleyg@cs.bu.edu>
395 *) Source reorganization. This is done to provide a basis for later
396 functionality implementation. See TODO file for more information
397 of what possible future enhancements are possible/desired.
399 Apache[01.02.04]/mod_fastcgi[02.00.00] 19970902 unsupported
400 From: David MacKenzie <djm@va.pubnix.com>
402 *) Create the "dynamic" dir and "mbox" as the user specified in the
403 User and Group directives instead of as root. They are created with
404 restrictive permissions, and then the module checks to see whether the
405 user specified in the User and Group directives has read, write, and
406 execute permissions on them. Those permissions had been explicitly
407 denied by creating them as "root".
409 *) Some documentation was garbled or incomplete.
411 *) When a FastCGI application can't be execl'd, the code used a
412 value of errno that may have been stomped on by intervening system
413 calls. That happened on BSD/OS 2.1, where the error_log was
414 reporting errno=25 (NOTTY) instead of the correct errno=13 (EACCES).
415 An intervening stdio call was setting errno as a side-effect, which
416 it has the right to do.
418 *) Erroneous fprintf arguments, a missing return value, an unused
419 function, missing declarations, and other problems detected by gcc
422 *) Duplicated code to create the lock file name merged into a single
423 function, closing several memory leaks.
425 *) FCGIConfig -minProcesses didn't allow a value of 0, so the last
426 FCGI app in a given dynamic class would live forever, even if it
427 hadn't been requested for weeks.
429 *) The test for whether to keep looking for dynamic app victims to
430 kill was backwards, so no dynamic apps were ever selected as
433 *) The killInterval and updateInterval were being ignored; the
434 sigsuspend() forced recalculations only when a child died,
435 instead of at the intervals specified.
437 *) When a dynamic app couldn't be started, the program SEGV'd when
438 trying to free the ipcAddrPtr twice.
440 *) Remove the dead lock file and socket when cleaning up after a
441 server whose last child has been killed, so the FastCGIHandler
442 isn't fooled into thinking there is still a process serving
445 *) Make file locking robust in the presence of signals.
447 *) Rename some badly named variables.
449 *) Fix typos in many comments.
451 *) Fix some memory and file descriptor leaks.
453 *) Make the blocking kill of a server closer to working.
455 *) More fixes to calculations in dynamic application management.
458 *** Originally from docs/README.OMI..
460 What's New: Version 2.0b1, 16 Apr 1997
462 *) Implemented a mechanism by which FastCGI applications are started by
463 the web server on the first request and continue running. Also, a
464 heuristics have been implemented to allow for dynamic killing of the
465 running FastCGI apps. The configuration options are supplied via
466 the new FCGIConfig directive, that is described in the
469 *) When performing internal redirect, since the original request's body
470 has already been read, do not allow the redirected request to think
471 that is has one [body].
473 *) More conditional compilation for OS/2.
475 *) Fixed occassional "Assertion failed: len > 0, file mod_fastcgi.c"
477 *) Fixed "failed assertion `count >= 0 && count <= bufPtr->length'"
479 *) Added bflush() call after bwrite() in DrainReqOutBuf function to
480 force some output to be written in the period of inactivity. This
481 circumvents the Apache's buffering during the server-push.
483 *) Added a header-parser function placeholder for compatibility with an
486 *) Additional checks have been placed with regard to permissions of the
487 FastCGI processes. These include the existence of the file,
488 ExecCGI and IncludesNOEXEC checks, disallowing of nph- scripts, etc.
490 *) Implemented a restart cleanup, so that no parentlesses FastCGI
491 applications are left after Apache is restarted and/or terminated.
492 This was accomplished via two independent mechanisms, where the
493 first one prevents a start of the process manager on the first
494 reading of the configuration files. The second mechanism deals away
495 from Apache's implementation of fork() (via spawn_child()) and
496 implements its own forking, thus removing any dependencies on the
497 Apache to cleanup processes during termination phase.
499 *) Removed the definition of the Sigfunc, as Apache 2.0b10 defines it
500 itself in the file conf.h
502 What's New: Version 1.4.3, 15 Jan 1997
504 *) Fixed compilation warnings for various platforms, as well as
505 conditional compilation for OS/2.
507 What's New: Version 1.4.2, 12 Dec 1996
509 *) mod_fastcgi.c is ported to Apache 1.2b. Any further development
510 will proceed under this version of Apache web server.
512 *) As the result of porting, the "include virtual" construct of SSI
513 will now work correctly using either <Location> or <Directory>
516 What's New: Version 1.4.1, 4 Dec 1996
518 *) Checks have been removed from the ScanCGIHeaders that provided
519 for the presence of both Status and Location headers as being
520 an error. Contradictory to CGI/1.1 Internet Draft, both of
521 these headers are used by the current CGI applications.
523 What's New: Version 1.4, 22 Nov 1996
525 *) Added the -port option to AppClass, allowing TCP/IP communication.
526 Added the -socket option to AppClass, allowing Unix domain
527 communication via a configurable pathname.
529 *) Added the ExternalAppClass directive, allowing TCP/IP
530 communication with remote FastCGI applications.
532 *) The handler had its own code for generating HTTP response headers;
533 now it uses Apache's. This reduces the size of the module.
534 More importantly, it fixes the bug in which "include virtual"
535 sees the HTTP response headers.
537 *) The response header parser performed very little checking.
538 Now the parser enforces the guidelines in the CGI/1.1
539 Internet-Draft: Status and Location are mutually exclusive,
540 Location can only be a response to GET or HEAD,
541 CGI response headers can't be repeated, etc. (The CGI response
542 headers are the ones the handler interprets: Status, Location,
545 *) The response header parser used to miss CGI headers
546 with no whitespace after the colon, e.g. "Status:200 OK".
548 *) The response header parser sometimes interpreted the first line
549 of content as an RFC822 continuation line.
551 *) The handler implemented a nonstandard version of Location
552 which never used internal redirects. The handler
553 now attempts to implement Location as specified in the
554 CGI/1.1 Internet-Draft. The module documentation explains
557 *) Error log entries from the response header parser were
558 pretty uninformative; they are better now. If a header is
559 malformed, the log entry includes it. If the headers are
560 unterminated rather than malformed, the log entry says that,
561 and says how many bytes were received from the app.
563 *) When the application manager forked a new process, and that
564 process ran into trouble before executing the first instruction
565 of application code, the process used to exit with status =
566 errno. This made certain configuration problems (e.g. incorrect
567 file permissions when server parent is root) quite difficult
568 to pin down. Now the failing child process opens up the error log
569 and writes an informative entry before exiting.
571 *) The module now correctly handles a slash at the end of the
572 DocumentRoot directive. This was a one-line fix.
574 What's New: Version 1.3.3, 17 Oct 1996
576 *) The module now registers its request handler under the name
577 fastcgi-script in addition to the name application/x-httpd-fcgi.
578 This was a one-line addition to the module, but had quite
579 a large impact on the documentation and sample configuration.
581 What's New: Version 1.3.2, 27 Sept 1996
583 *) On some systems (SunOS, Linux?), fopen for append has a bug
584 that strikes when two processes append to the same file.
585 This bug causes the process manager to corrupt the error log.
586 Work around the bug by calling open, then fdopen. A patch
587 to Apache 1.1.1 is also required, as described in mod_fastcgi.html.
588 (Reported by Bob Ramstad.)
590 What's New: Version 1.3.1, 17 Sept 1996
592 *) On Linux and SunOS, the Apache default user_id (-1) is not a
593 legal value of uid_t, so cast it. (Reported by Bob Ramstad,
594 Scott Langley, others.)
596 *) On some systems (Linux, some Solaris?, Irix?), connect requires
597 write access to a Unix Domain socket, so provide it. (Reported
598 by Scott Langley, freeform@wired.com, others.)
600 *) If you hit a .fcg file, but there's no AppClass defined, the
601 error should be NOT_FOUND instead of SERVER_ERROR. (Reported
604 What's New: Version 1.3, 4 Sept 1996
606 *) Module sometimes busy-waited in FastCgiDoWork. Fixed.
608 *) Module violated the Apache buff abstraction.
609 Fixed. Might now work with SSL (not tested).
610 As part of the fix, eliminated support for
611 Apache 1.0x versions.
613 *) Module failed to chmod the Unix domain listening sockets
614 it created, so protections were set according to the current
617 *) Module forked too many process manager processes: One
618 per AppClass. When the Apache parent ran as root, these
619 process manager processes ran as root. New process
620 manager is a single process (only started if AppClass is
621 used) and runs with same privileges as other children.
622 The new process manager doesn't do any polling, so
623 there's less system overhead than before.
625 *) AppClass insisted on getting at least two arguments. Fixed.
627 *) Module used setjmp/longjmp, causing compiler warnings
628 on some platforms (e.g. Linux.) The module no longer
631 *) Module created listening sockets in /tmp, where they were
632 sometimes wiped out by cleanup scripts. Added FastCgiIpcDir
633 directive to give control over the location of listening
636 *) Module wrote error log entries without a timestamp. Fixed.
638 *) AppClass directive wrote error messages to stderr in addition
639 to returning a char * message to the Apache core. Fixed.
641 What's New: Version 1.2, 3 June 1996
643 *) Ported from Apache-1.0-based code to Apache-1.1b2 internals by
646 Add version string: APACHEVERSION macro to mod_fastcgi.c
648 *) chown FastCGI socket to user_id and setuid to user_id for app
651 *) Modify GetFromStream() by having it call an OS dependent
652 function GetStreamSize(FILE *) which uses FILE internal data member.
653 Linux users might need to modify GetStreamSize().
655 What's New: Version 1.1, 10 May 1996
657 *) If you specify a non-existent executable in the AppClass directive,
658 or if the file exists and it does not have execute permission you
659 get a constant stream of error messages telling you that "program
660 terminated due to a signal".
662 *) The mod_fastcgi module should use the standard Apache error logging
663 facility instead of writing to stderr.
