This use is not recommended since it means that the response body
will not contain the precise error code.

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
fdevent_accept_listenfd() now always returns fd O_NONBLOCK O_CLOEXEC
for consistency, rather than setting elsewhere in connection_accepted()
Handle older Linux 2.6 kernels which might have accept4() in glibc,
but return ENOSYS, as accept4() was not added until Linux kernel 2.6.28.
discard from socket using recv MSG_TRUNC on Linux TCP SOCK_STREAM socket
Currently, lighttpd supports only TCP SOCK_STREAM. If UDP SOCK_DGRAM
were to be supported in the future, then socket type will need to be
stored so that MSG_TRUNC is used appropriately for the desired effect.
To find out socket type on arbitrary socket fd:
getsockopt(..., SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, ...)
but better to store it with each listening socket.
permit LF to end header lines if
server.http-parseopt-header-strict = "disable"
(instead of requiring CR LF)
(makes it easy to use 'openssl s_client -connect <IP:port>' on unix)
(Note: care taken to minimize diff in this commit,
but header parsing code should be revisited and overhauled)
new directive server.error-intercept = [ "enable" | "disable" ]
to intercept 4xx and 5xx responses from dynamic handlers
(e.g. CGI, FastCGI, SCGI, proxy)
Intercepted HTTP error status are then handled by one of
server.error-handler
server.error-handler-404
server.errorfile-prefix
(if configured)
Do not use server.error-intercept with locations handled by mod_webdav!

It is still not a good idea for backend to send Transfer-Encoding unless
backend is mod_proxy, and mod_proxy should not currently receive chunked
response since mod_proxy sends HTTP/1.0 request.
If mod_proxy is changed to sent HTTP/1.1 request, then lighttpd would
need to check if client is HTTP/1.0 and would need to de-chunk and
remove any other transfer-codings if not supported by next-hop.

more consistent cleanup of resources at shutdown
(e.g. upon error conditions)
Notes: graceful restart with SIGUSR1
- not available if chroot()ed, oneshot mode, or if idle timeout occurs
- preserve process id (pid)
- preserve existing listen sockets
- i.e. does not close old listen sockets from prior configs
(even if old listen sockets no longer in the new config)
(sockets may have been bound w/ root privileges no longer available)
- will fail to add listen sockets from new config if privileges
lighttpd configured to drop privileges to non-root user, and
new listen socket attempts to bind to low-numbered port requiring
root privileges.
- will fail if listen sockets in new config conflict with any previous
old listen sockets
- These failure modes will result in lighttpd shutting down instead of
graceful restart. These failure modes are not detectable with
preflight checks ('lighttpd -tt -f lighttpd.conf') because the
new instance of lighttpd running the preflight check does not
known config state of n prior graceful restarts, or even the
config state of the currently running lighttpd server.
- due to lighttpd feature of optionally managing backends
(e.g. fastcgi and scgi via "bin-path"), lighttpd must wait for
all child processes to exit prior to restarting. Restarting new
workers while old workers (and old backends) were still running would
result in failure of restarted lighttpd process to be able to bind to
sockets already in use by old backends (e.g. unix "socket" path)

(take 2:
relocate module cleanup check to after handle_connection_close hook)
modules may now keep state for the lifetime of a connection,
rather than being required to be reset after every request (when
there can be multiple keep-alive requests on the same connection)
move write throttling code from network.c:network_write_chunkqueue()
to connections-glue.c:connection_write_chunkqueue() and fix the code
to use TCP_CORK only on TCP sockets.
large code move, but minimal changes made to code (besides whitespace),
so that code builds
next: need to isolate openssl data structures and config parsing
handle_request_env (called on demand by handlers to populate env)
handle_connection_accept
handle_connection_shut_wr (was handle_connection_close)
handle_connection_close (now occurs at socket close())
support Transfer-Encoding: chunked request body in conjunction with
server.stream-request-body = 0
dynamic handlers will still return 411 Length Required if
server.stream-request-body = 1 or 2 (!= 0)
since CGI-like env requires CONTENT_LENGTH be set
(and mod_proxy currently sends HTTP/1.0 requests to backends,
and Content-Length recommended for robust interaction with backend)

lots of fixes and improvements
limitations: see comments at top of mod_deflate.c
missing functionality: encode streaming response
(module currently requires response be collected before being sent)

github: closes #67
do not enter handler a second time in connection_state_machine()
after read body completes if dynamic handler is still waiting for event
and CON_STATE_READ_POST transitioned to CON_STATE_HANDLE_REQUEST
Check if client half-closed TCP connection if POLLHUP is received.
This more robustly handles if client called shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR).
This patch reverts commit:ab05eb7c which should now be handled properly.
