*) Change in internal API: the HTTP modules initialization was moved
from the init module phase to the HTTP postconfiguration phase.

continued proxying anyway.

not required a manual rename operation. The old master process adds
the ".oldbin" suffix to its pid-file and executes a new binary file.
The new master process creates usual pid-file without the ".newbin"
suffix. If the master process exits, then old master process renames
back its pid-file with the ".oldbin" suffix to the pid-file without
