Though there are several MIME types commonly used for JavaScript nowadays,
the most common being "text/javascript", "application/javascript", and
currently used by nginx "application/x-javascript", RFC 4329 prefers
"application/javascript".
The "charset_types" directive's default value was adjusted accordingly.
As per perlxs, C preprocessor directives should be at the first
non-whitespace of a line to avoid interpreting them as comments.
#if and #endif are moved so that there are no blank lines before them
to retain them as part of the function body.
Checks were added to both buffered and unbuffered code paths to detect
and complain if a response is incomplete. Appropriate error codes are
now passed to ngx_http_upstream_finalize_request().
With this change in unbuffered mode we now use u->length set to -1 as an
indicator that EOF is allowed per protocol and used to indicate response
end (much like its with p->length in buffered mode). Proxy module was
changed to set u->length to 1 (instead of previously used -1) in case of
chunked transfer encoding used to comply with the above.
That is, by default we assume that response end is signalled by
a connection close. This seems to be better default, and in line
with u->pipe->length behaviour.
Memcached module was modified accordingly.
After a failed partial match we now check if there is another partial
match in previously matched substring to fix cases like "aab" in "aaab".
The ctx->saved string is now always sent if it's present on return
from the ngx_http_sub_parse() function (and reset accordingly). This
allows to release parts of previously matched data.
If a pattern was partially matched at a response end, partially matched
string wasn't send. E.g., a response "fo" was truncated to an empty response
if partially mathed by a pattern "foo".
The exsltRegisterAll() needs to be called before XSLT stylesheets
are compiled, else stylesheet compilation hooks will not work. This
change fixes EXSLT Functions extension.
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.
The parameter is mostly identical to http_404, and is expected to
be used in similar situations. The 403 code might be returned by
a backend instead of 404 on initial sync of new directories with rsync.

An invalid memcached reply that started with '\n' could cause
segmentation fault.
An invalid memcached reply "VALUE / 0 2\r?ok\r\nEND\r\n" was
considered as a valid response.
In addition, if memcached reports that the key was not found,
set u->headers_in.content_length_n to 0. This ensures that
ngx_http_memcached_filter() will not be called while previous
code relied on always intercepting 404. Initialization of
ctx->rest was moved to where it belongs.
Due to peer->checked always set since rev. c90801720a0c (1.3.0)
by round-robin and least_conn balancers (ip_hash not affected),
the code in ngx_http_upstream_free_round_robin_peer() function
incorrectly reset peer->fails too often.

The $proxy_internal_body_length value might change during request lifetime,
notably if proxy_set_body used, and use of a cached value might result in
incorrect upstream requests.
Patch by Lanshun Zhou.
As of 1.3.9, chunked request body may be available with
r->headers_in.content_length_n <= 0. Additionally, request body
may be in multiple buffers even if r->request_body_in_single_buf
was requested.
Dependancy tracking introduced in r5169 were not handled absolute path
names properly. Absolute names might appear in CORE_DEPS if --with-openssl
or --with-pcre configure arguments are used to build OpenSSL/PCRE
libraries.
Additionally, revert part of r5169 to set NGX_INCS from Makefile
variables. Makefile variables have $ngx_include_opt in them, which
might result in wrong include paths being used. As a side effect,
this also restores build with --with-http_perl_module and --without-http
at the same time.
To avoid further breaks it's now done properly, all the dependencies
are now passed to Makefile.PL. While here, fixed include list passed to
Makefile.PL to use Makefile variables rather than a list expanded during
configure.
And corresponding variable $connections_waiting was added.
Previously, waiting connections were counted as the difference between
active connections and the sum of reading and writing connections.
That made it impossible to count more than one request in one connection
as reading or writing (as is the case for SPDY).
Also, we no longer count connections in handshake state as waiting.
In r2411 setting of NGX_HTTP_GZIP_BUFFERED in c->buffered was moved from
ngx_http_gzip_filter_deflate_start() to ngx_http_gzip_filter_buffer() since
it was always called first. But in r2543 the "postpone_gzipping" directive
was introduced, and if postponed gzipping is disabled (the default setting),
ngx_http_gzip_filter_buffer() is not called at all.
We must always set NGX_HTTP_GZIP_BUFFERED after the start of compression
since there is always a trailer that is buffered.
There are no known cases when it leads to any problem with current code.
But we already had troubles in upcoming SPDY implementation.
Not only this is useful for the upcoming SPDY support, but it can
also help to improve HTTPS performance by enabling TLS False Start
in Chrome/Chromium browsers [1]. So, we always enable NPN for HTTPS
if it is supported by OpenSSL.
