1.6
* Documentation edited for new caching directive.

1.6-dev 20031021
* Caching support added, based on patch sent by Krasimir Kazakov
* Fixed changelog format
* Added configure script

1.5 20041015
* source dist cleanup: added Makefile targets src src1 dist,
* moved FAQ and this CHANGELOG to docs/ dir. This will be 1.5.

20040703
* Merged in (ifdef WITH_APACHE2) apache 2 stuff sent by Nicolas Barry. Not tested. Compile with apxs -i -DWITH_APACHE2 for apache2, and just apxs -i for apache1


20031105
* Now checks for "Success\n" being returned, and then checks for other stuff

6/2003
* Nafees awakens!  Changed the OSX define to __APPLE__ which the
compiler on OS X defines.
*Added a BUFLEN define.  All the 257)+1 business was just asking for bugs.

* Didn't understand what all the +1 junk was for.  So chunked it.  Feel free to
add it back if there's a good reason.  And if there is, please add
documentation this time. (satya notes: we thought we needed it for terminating
nulls, but we probably don't. If anyone sees a problem with extra-long
parameters, check this first.)

* Added a while loop to eat up the pipe read buffer before closing it.

* Renamed argv to cl_args

* Reindented the source file emacs style

* satya: removed the ifdef, we'll override GNU's strnlen() on glibc systems, just because.


6/2003
* strnlen doesn't work on osx, added strnlen custom function (from Nafees/Matthew) to fix.
* Satya is new maintainer

7/2002 - Robert Gorlitsky (gorlitsk@musc.edu) Added proper escaping and
quoting of the password

7/12/00:
This used to be mod_auth.c in the Apache source tree.

I warped it do validation by passing in the username and password into a
popen()'d external program.

Patch by robert (gorlitsk@musc.edu) to properly quote the password for the
bash shell.
