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().
use global rather than passing around (server *) just for that
li_itostrn() and li_utostrn() return string length
(rather than requiring subsequent strlen() to find length)
validate UTF-8 in url-decoded paths obtained elsewhere than from request
(burl_normalize(), if enabled with server.http-parseopts, checks url for
overlong encodings of ASCII chars in the HTTP request-line)
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.
buffer_copy_string_len() and buffer_append_string_len() now
internally inline what buffer_commit() does, but do not repeat the
sanity checks already enforced by buffer_string_prepare_copy() and
buffer_string_prepare_append(), respectively
buffer_string_set_length() short-circuit common case
buffer_is_equal_caseless_string() now correctly matches against
the string only up to the provided string length, since the
string might not be '\0' terminated.
provide standard types in first.h instead of base.h
provide lighttpd types in base_decls.h instead of settings.h
reduce headers exposed by headers for core data structures
do not expose <pcre.h> or <stdlib.h> in headers
move stat_cache_entry to stat_cache.h
reduce use of "server.h" and "base.h" in headers
