* fixed two problems with time-outs, one where a server would be logged as
timed out during transfer that take longer to complete than the fixed
time-out, and one where clients were logged as timed-out during the data
phase because they didn't have anything to send. This sometimes caused
slow client connections to close too early while in fact there was no
problem. The proper fix would be to have a per-fd time-out with
conditions depending on the state of the HTTP FSM.
* haproxy was NOT RFC compliant because it was case-sensitive on HTTP
"Cookie:" and "Set-Cookie:" headers. This caused JVM 1.4 to fail on
cookie persistence because it uses "cookie:". Two memcmp() have been
replaced with strncasecmp().
* added the haproxy2html.sh script
* removed the now useless NOTES file
* made pcre-config quiet in the makefile.
* Haproxy can be compiled with PCRE regex instead of libc regex, by setting
REGEX=pcre on the make command line.
* HTTP health-checks now use "OPTIONS *" instead of "OPTIONS /".
* when explicit source address binding is required, it is now also used for
health-checks.
* added 'reqpass' and 'reqipass' to allow certain headers but not the request
itself.
* factored several strings to reduce binary size by about 2 kB.
* replaced setreuid() and setregid() with more standard setuid() and setgid().
* added 4 status flags to the log line indicating who ended the connection
first, the sessions state, the validity of the cookie, and action taken on
the set-cookie header.
* rearranged the changelog and removed it from haproxy.c
* large documentation updates
* add the notion of "backup" servers, which are used only when all other
servers are down.
* make Set-Cookie return "" instead of "(null)" when the server has no
cookie assigned (useful for backup servers).
* "log" now supports an optionnal level name (info, notice, err ...) above
which nothing is sent.
* replaced some strncmp() with memcmp() for better efficiency.
* added "capture cookie" option which logs client and/or server cookies
* cleaned up/down messages and dump servers states upon SIGHUP
* added a redirection feature for errors : "errorloc <errnum> <url>"
* now we won't insist on connecting to a dead server, even with a cookie,
unless option "persist" is specified.
* added HTTP/408 response for client request time-out and HTTP/50[234] for
server reply time-out or errors.
* updates to the examples files
* added a 'do_status' command to the Formilux init script
