What's New in This Release:
Bug fixes:
· Proxy authentication headers are removed unless the new directive enable-proxy-authentication-forwarding is used. Forwarding the headers potentially allows malicious sites to trick the user into providing them with login information.
· Compiles on OS/2 again now that unistd.h is only included on platforms that have it
General improvements:
· The show-status page shows the FEATURE_STRPTIME_SANITY_CHECKS status
· A couple of assert()s that could theoretically dereference NULL pointers in debug builds have been relocated
· Added an LSB info block to the generic start script. Based on a patch from Natxo Asenjo
· The max-client-connections default has been changed to 128 which should be more than enough for most setups
Action file improvements:
· Block rover.ebay./ar.*\&adtype= instead of "/.*\&adtype=" which caused too many false positives.
· Unblock '.advrider.com/' and '/.*ADVrider'. Anonymously reported in #3603636
· Stop blocking '/js/slider\.js'.
