Several warnings silenced, notably (ngx_socket_t) -1 is now checked
on socket operations instead of -1, as ngx_socket_t is unsigned on win32
and gcc complains on comparison.
With this patch, it's now possible to compile nginx using mingw gcc,
with options we normally compile on win32.
On Linux, sockaddr length is required to process unix socket addresses properly
due to unnamed sockets (which don't have sun_path set at all) and abstract
namespace sockets.
*) Feature: the "bind" option of the "listen" directive in IMAP/POP3
proxy.
*) Bugfix: if the same capture in the "rewrite" directive was used more
then once.
*) Bugfix: the $sent_http_content_type, $sent_http_content_length,
$sent_http_last_modified, $sent_http_connection,
$sent_http_keep_alive, and $sent_http_transfer_encoding variables
were not written to access log.
*) Bugfix: the $sent_http_cache_control returned value of the single
"Cache-Control" response header line.
*) Change: the "valid_referers" directive and the "$invalid_referer"
variable were moved to the new ngx_http_referer_module from the
ngx_http_rewrite_module.
*) Change: the "$apache_bytes_sent" variable name was changed to
"$body_bytes_sent".
*) Feature: the "$sent_http_..." variables.
*) Feature: the "if" directive supports the "=" and "!=" operations.
*) Feature: the "proxy_pass" directive supports the HTTPS protocol.
*) Feature: the "proxy_set_body" directive.
*) Feature: the "post_action" directive.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_empty_gif_module.

*) Bugfix: the "rewrite" directive did not unescape URI part in
redirect, now it is unescaped except the %00-%25 and %7F-%FF
characters.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by the icc 9.0 compiler.
*) Bugfix: if the SSI was enabled for zero size static file, then the
chunked response was encoded incorrectly.
*) Change: the "bl" and "af" parameters of the "listen" directive was
renamed to the "backlog" and "accept_filter".
*) Feature: the "rcvbuf" and "sndbuf" parameters of the "listen"
directive.
*) Change: the "$msec" log parameter does not require now the
additional the gettimeofday() system call.
*) Feature: the -t switch now tests the "listen" directives.
*) Bugfix: if the invalid address was specified in the "listen"
directive, then after the -HUP signal nginx left an open socket in
the CLOSED state.

index file with variable in the name; the bug had appeared in 0.3.0.

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
suffix.

the "send_timeout" was less than "proxy_read_timeout", then nginx
returned the 408 response.

invalid line in response header; the bug had appeared in 0.1.26.
