RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.13 17

Posted by jan Tue, 10 Oct 2006 08:18:00 GMT

Only 2 weeks after .12 hit the servers we have a new release cleaning up the issues that were introduced by it.

On the fix side we have:
  • fixed a seg-fault in the HTTP-Request splitting
  • fixed long-standing bug with Content-Length and HEAD requests
  • fixed a possible abort of a upload if xattr is enabled
New are
  • mod-magnet finally handles ‘require “lfs”’ without complaining
  • mod-magnet got light.stat() which uses the stat-cache
  • mod-webdav supports LOCK if compiled with—with-webdav-locks
Debian user have to compile their lua-support with: 
$ configure --with-lua=lua5.1 ...
as their lua-5.1 package isn’t called ‘lua’.

Enjoy this release and watch out for 1.5.0 on the horizon. :)

  1. 半年多的等待后，lighttpd 总算发布新的版本啦 From 想得快，写得慢，我该怎么办？
    前阵子太忙了，因此没有留意到 lighttpd 在发布了 1.4.12 之后的两周就发布了 1.4.13 ，主要的目的是修正 1.4.12 中引入的导致 segfault 的严重问题。看来我没有注意到 1.4.12 的发布反倒成了...

    Some notes: 1. lighttpd-1.4.13-1.i386.rpm compiled without SSL support. 2. from lighttpd 1.4.12 release: 'added ssl.use-sslv2 and ssl.cipher-list for all who have to comply with PCI' What is PCI in this context? No explanation of ssl.cipher-list and ssl.use-sslv2 available. 3. Installed ChangeLog is outdated and reffer to absent NEWS. Thanks for great work!

    Should be read: 3. ChangeLog is outdated and reffer to absent in rpm NEWS. (No NEWS in rpm.)

    I documented the options in http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs:SSL#pci-dss-compliance PCI stands for Paying Card Industry, PCI DSS is their Data Security Standard.

    Hey, where's mod_proxy_core? This is a really exciting one for me, and I hope its available now. I use Lighttpd + Mongrel + Rails, and need X-Send-File support. Can I use mod_proxy_core with 1.4.13... and if so, where can I get it? Many Thanks, Pete

    Pete, mod_proxy_core is a feature slated for 1.5

    This release rocks. It's fast, stable, reliable, and WebDAV works! It sooo kicks everything else I've used (IIS/Apache). Not to mention an easy config file.

    I just got a gentoo maintainer to look at the lua-5.1.1 ebuild, which is a prerequisite for lighty-1.4.13. They're working at it.

    4 months after mod_uplaod progress was anounced, still nothing, yet in that time u managed to add alot of useless features...
  17. darix Sun, 05 Nov 2006 00:47:58 GMT
    i consider mod_uploadprogress one of the most useless features out there. on the other hand mod_magnet is the best thing since sliced bread.
