reduce initial buffer size if large POST to backend stored in temp files
regression in lighttpd 1.4.52

"[regression] lighttpd gets killed after uploading a big file"
https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2922
After 4 seconds, send kill() every second while waiting for child to exit.
Send host->kill_signal for next 4 seconds, then send SIGTERM (usually same
as host->kill_signal) for following 8 seconds, and finally send SIGKILL
each second after that, until the child process dies.

regression in lighttpd 1.4.51 (mod_flv_streaming)
regression in lighttpd 1.4.52 (mod_cml)
workaround for mod_flv_streaming:
url.rewrite-once = ( "\.flv$" => "${url.path}?" )
(similar workaround for mod_cml)

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.
(expect < 256 octets for DNS name)
Since limit is imposed, can use buffer_clear() instead of buffer_reset()
for con->uri.authority and con->server_name. (Also, con->uri.scheme is
limited to "http" and "https", so use buffer_clear() for it, too)
quickly clear buffer instead of buffer_string_set_length(b, 0) or
buffer_reset(b). Avoids free() of large buffers about to be reused,
or buffers that are module-scoped, persistent, and reused.
(buffer_reset() should still be used with buffers in connection *con
when the data in the buffers is supplied by external, untrusted source)
separate reading header from connection_handle_read_state() into
connection_read_header() so that HTTP pipelined requests can skip
optimistic read()/recv()
server.chunkqueue-chunk-sz = 4096 (default)
Can be configured any integral value greater than 0.
Value is rounded up to next 1024 if not an even multiple of 1k.
Sites with large request or response headers may benefit from
an 8k or 16k chunk size. Embedded systems might choose to minimize
memory use by using a 1k chunk size.
controls whether default and compatibility modules are loaded,
including default modules mod_indexfile, mod_staticfile, mod_dirlisting
and if mod_authn* modules are loaded when mod_auth in server.modules
and if mod_openssl is loaded when ssl. directives are seen
default: server.compat-module-load = "enable"
(preserve existing behavior)
recommended config: explicitly load desired modules in desired order
