lighttpd 1.4.10¶

Dear lighties,

Another release for lighttpd, this time more focused on getting rid of
bugs than adding new features.

Most important first:

• CGI should work again
• fastcgi should not result in a crash under high load
• load balancing in fastcgi should work as expected
• broken digest request shouldn't crash mod_auth

New stuff:

we waited for this since a long time, now we have it:

fastcgi.map-extensions = ( ".php3" => ".php" )
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ... )

... and we have CWD variable now to pass the relative path through to the config:

fastcgi.server = ( "dispatch.fcgi" => (( "bin-path" => CWD + "/public/dispatch.fcgi" )) )

... and we have a new option:

{{{
