added to the recent Tomcat versions without breaking the AJP protocol.
[Mladen Turk]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Set the new environment variable BALANCER_ROUTE_CHANGED
if a worker with a route different from the one supplied by the client
had been chosen or if the client supplied no routing information for
a balancer with sticky sessions. [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Add information about the route, the sticky session

*) mod_proxy_ajp: Added cping/cpong support for the AJP protocol.
A new worker directive ping=timeout will cause CPING packet
to be send expecting CPONG packet within defined timeout.
In case the backend is too busy this will fail instead
sending the full header. [Mladen Turk]
*) mod_disk_cache: Make sure that only positive integers are accepted
for the CacheMaxFileSize and CacheMinFileSize parameters in the
config file. PR39380. [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
*) mod_cache: From RFC3986 (section 6.2.3.) if a URI contains an
authority component and an empty path, the empty path is to be equivalent
to "/". It explicitly cites the following four URIs as equivalents:
http://example.com
http://example.com/
http://example.com:/
http://example.com:80/
[Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
*) mod_cache: Don't cache requests with a expires date in the past;
otherwise mod_cache will always try to cache the URL. This bug
might lead to numerous rename() errors on win32 if the URL was
previously cached. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
*) core: Deal with the widespread use of apr_status_t return values
as HTTP status codes, as documented in PR#31759 (a bug shared by
the default handler, mod_cgi, mod_cgid, mod_proxy, and probably
others). PR31759. [Jeff Trawick, Ruediger Pluem, Joe Orton]
*) mod_ext_filter: Handle filter names which include capital letters.

token parser worked while the resulting length was misinterpreted.
PR 29098. [Brock Bland <bbland serena.com>]
*) mod_isapi: Return 0 (failure) for more of the various ap_pass_brigade
attempts to stream the response at the client. Log these as well.
PR 30022, 40470. [William Rowe, Matt Eaton <asf divinehawk.com>]
*) mod_isapi: Ensure we walk through all the methods the developer may have
employed to report their HTTP status result code.
PR 16637 30033 28089. [Matt Lewandowsky <matt iamcode.net>, William Rowe]
*) mod_echo: Fix precedence problem in if statement. PR 40658.

[Larry Cipriani <lvc lucent.com>]
*) The full server version information is now included in the error log at
startup as well as server status reports, irrespective of the setting
of the ServerTokens directive. ap_get_server_version() is now deprecated,
and is replaced by ap_get_server_banner() and ap_get_server_description().
[Jeff Trawick]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Workers can now be defined as part of
a balancer cluster "set" in which members of a lower-numbered set
are preferred over higher numbered ones. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Workers can now be defined as "hot standby" which
will only be used if all other workers are unusable (eg: in
error or disabled). Also, the balancer-manager displays the election
count and I/O counts of all workers. [Jim Jagielski]

fails. PR 40310. [Ian Abel <ianabel mxtelecom.com>]
