NB: r->tmp_buf == srv->tmp_buf (pointer is copied for quicker access)
NB: request read and write chunkqueues currently point to connection
chunkqueues; per-request and per-connection chunkqueues are
not distinct from one another
con->read_queue == r->read_queue
con->write_queue == r->write_queue
NB: in the future, a separate connection config may be needed for
connection-level module hooks. Similarly, might need to have
per-request chunkqueues separate from per-connection chunkqueues.
Should probably also have a request_reset() which is distinct from
connection_reset().
convert all log_error_write() to log_error() and pass (log_error_st *)
use con->errh in preference to srv->errh (even though currently same)
avoid passing (server *) when previously used only for logging (errh)
mark array_get_index() as hot, rewrite to be pure and return sorted pos
mark routines as pure, as appropriate
mark routines as cold if used only at startup for config processing
mark params const, as appropriate
array_get_buf_ptr() for modifiable value buffer after insert into array
uint32_t used and size members instead of size_t
remove a->unique_ndx member; simply add to end of array for value lists
remove du->is_index_key member; simply check buffer_is_empty(du->key)
array_insert_key_value() used to be a hint that lookup could be skipped,
but the state from array_get_index() is now saved and reused internally,
so the distinction is no longer needed. Use array_set_key_value().
normalize %2b or %2B in query string to %2B (uppercase hex),
and not to '+'

reject whitespace following request header field-name and before colon
Such whitespace is forbidden in RFC 7230 Section 3.2.4.
strict header parsing is enabled by default in lighttpd. However,
if explicitly disabled in lighttpd.conf, lighttpd will continue to
accept (and re-format) such field-names before passing to any backend.
UNSAFE: server.http-parseopts = ( "header-strict" => "disable" )
This is NOT RECOMMENDED since doing so disables other protections
provided by lighttpd strict http header parsing.

fix abort in server.http-parseopts with url-path-2f-decode enabled

buffer_simplify_path() no longer prepends '/' if '/' is missing.
Callers must check for leading '/' depending on use, such as in
concatenation with others paths, or direct use accessing filesystem
Note: lighttpd 1.4.50 provides the server.http-parseopts directive.
Recommended settings unless specific use requires looser settings:
server.http-parseopts = (
"header-strict" => "enable",
"host-strict" => "enable",
"host-normalize" => "enable",
"url-normalize" => "enable",
"url-normalize-unreserved" => "enable",
"url-normalize-required" => "enable",
"url-ctrls-reject" => "enable",
"url-path-2f-decode" => "enable",
"url-path-dotseg-remove" => "enable",
"url-query-20-plus" => "enable"
)

As noted in the link above, mod_access should be preferred instead
of mod_rewrite for access controls to URLs.
