ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/www/src/*_2.13.tar.Z
httpd 2.13:
* Server Script support (/htbin-URLs); compatible with
that of NCSA's (including redirection), but
- no need for scripts to translate escaped
special characters
- full AA support for scripts as any documents
- scripts can seem to have a "directory structure"
* all known AA bugs fixed:
- broken fail rule
- setuid() looks up nobody correctly; and
doesn't refuse to run even if it fails
* other additions:
- full filename suffix recognition (e.g. fixes
"cannot convert application/octet-stream to
www/present" with inlined .xbm images),
defaults are always used, and can be overridden
from the rule file
- understands Accept: */*
- more tolerant of bad requests
- checks that the third argument in HTTP1 request
is really "HTTP/1.0" and not just garbage (bad
HTTP0 request)
libwww 2.13:
* single HTPromptUsernameAndPassword() to enable
a single authentication dialog box in GUIs
* fix: connection not opened before authentication
