decode Transfer-Encoding: chunked from gw (gateway backends)
Transfer-Encoding: chunked is a hop-by-hop header.
Handling chunked encoding remove a hurdle for mod_proxy to send HTTP/1.1
requests to backends and be able to handle HTTP/1.1 responses.
Other backends ought not to send Transfer-Encoding: chunked, but in
practice, some implementations do.
Using BIO_new_mem_buf() allows lighttpd to control file reads and
securely wiping memory, avoiding the use of BIO_s_file(), which
employs stdio and BIO internal copying without securely wiping memory.
BIO_new_mem_buf() is also much more performant than BIO_s_file()
or BIO_new_fd() without a buffering BIO, which might make many
syscalls reading a single character at a time.
BIO_new_mem_buf() appears to be supported by older OpenSSL versions
as well as by numerous OpenSSL-compatible APIs, e.g. in BoringSSL,
LibreSSL, WolfSSL
translate config server.modules "mod_compress" to "mod_deflate"
accept compress.* directives, but issue DEPRECATED warning trace
mod_deflate differences from mod_compress:
- mod_compress compress.filetype was exact match; deflate.mimetypes is
prefix match (behavior change might compress longer mimetype matches,
which are likely of similar type and compressability)
- mod_compress always sent entire (compressed) file for Range request
mod_deflate will stream compress range result (not stored in cache)
- mod_compress would short-circuit request with 403 Forbidden error
if request file did not exist (stat() failed) (This behavior was
unfriendly to other handlers)
- mod_compress compress.cache-dir layout differs from deflate.cache-dir
layout; file cache should be cleared (or renamed) when migrating from
mod_compress to mod_deflate
- mod_deflate does not issue Vary: Accept-Encoding if request does not
contain Accept-Encoding. The identity response can be cache by
proxies and served to clients. Historically, some proxies disabled
caching if any Vary: response was seen. If the Vary header is
desirable, mod_deflate code which checks for Accept-Encoding and
compression type can be moved down a few lines to be below the
setting of the Vary response header.
./configure --with-bzip2 to enable

already disabled by default in CMake, SCONS, and meson build configs)
use crypt() instead of crypt_r() to save stack space,
as struct crypt_data might be very large.
While crypt() is not thread-safe, lighttpd is single-threaded
auth.backend.ldap.timeout = "2000000" # quoted-string; microseconds
vhostdb.ldap += ("timeout" => "2000000") # quoted-string; microseconds
Default is 2000000 microseconds (2 secs)
These values are converted to struct timeval and passed to
ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, );
ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT, ...);
if those LDAP_OPT_* values are available (both are OpenLDAP-specific).

auth.cache = ("max-age" => "600")
vhostdb.cache = ("max-age" => "600")
If specified with an empty array, default max-age is 600 secs (10 mins)
auth.cache = ()
vhostdb.cache = ()
(Note: cache expiration occurs every 8 seconds, so maximum cache time
might be up to max-age + 8 seconds)

libmariadb is what should be used as only the library portion is used.
Fixes compilation under OpenWrt.
Note that mariadb.pc is a superset that links to libmariadb.

fix theoretical NULL dereference identified by Coverity Scan
possible for PROPFIND with specific atypical choices in lighttpd.conf:
- possible for getcontenttype if no content type matches resource
and no default type configured in lighttpd.conf
- possible for getetag if etag disabled in lighttpd.conf
(pedantic; no impact)
upon error, server will exit, so the impact of momentarily leaking fd
has no impact. This commit holds the fd in srv->stdin_fd to address
Coverity warning about leaking fd when using server.bind = "/dev/stdin"
add warning at server startup when mod_mysql_vhost is loaded
mod_vhostdb_mysql subsumes mod_mysql_vhost. Individual mod_mysql_vhost
directives map one-to-one to keywords in vhostdb.mysql = (...) directive
(expansion of buffer_string_lenth() inline function and CONST_BUF_LEN()
macro, which always check for NULL, appears to cause the analyzer to
believe that a pointer might be NULL in cases where it otherwise can
not be NULL)
