- Fix a logic bug that could cause Privoxy to reuse a tainted
- server socket.
- It could happen for server sockets that got tainted by a
- server-header-tagger-induced block, in which case Privoxy
- doesn't necessarily read the whole server response.
- If keep-alive was enabled and the request following the
- blocked one was to the same host and using the same
- forwarding settings, Privoxy would send it on the tainted
- server socket.
- While the server would simply treat it as a pipelined request,
- Privoxy would later on fail to properly parse the server's
- response as it would try to parse the unread data from the
- first response as server headers for the second one.
- Regression introduced in 3.0.17.
- </para>

- <listitem>
- <para>
- When implying keep-alive in client_connection(), remember that the client didn't
- Fixes a regression introduced in 3.0.13 that would cause
- Privoxy to wait for additional client requests after
- receiving a HTTP/1.1 request with "Connection: close" set
- and connection sharing enabled.
- With clients like curl which terminates the client connection
- after detecting that the whole body has been received it doesn't
- really matter, but with clients like FreeBSD's fetch the client
- connection would be kept open until it timed out.
+ Prevent a segmentation fault when de-chunking buffered content.
+ It could be triggered by malicious web servers if Privoxy was
+ configured to filter the content and running on a platform
+ where SIZE_T_MAX isn't larger than UINT_MAX, which probably
+ includes most 32-bit systems. On those platforms, all Privoxy
+ versions before 3.0.19 appear to be affected.
+ To be on the safe side, this bug should be presumed to allow
+ code execution as proving that it doesn't seems unrealistic.

- Fix a subtle race condition between prepare_csp_for_next_request() and sweep()
- A thread preparing itself for the next client request
- could briefly appear to be inactive.
- If all other threads were already using more recent files,
- the thread could get its files swept away under its feet.
- I've only seen it while stress testing in valgrind while
- touching action files in a loop. It's unlikely to have
- caused any actual problems in the real world.
+ Do not expect a response from the SOCKS4/4A server until it
+ got something to respond to. This regression was introduced

- Adjust url_code_map[] so spaces are replaced with %20 instead of '+'

- cosmetic issue and doesn't fix any actual problems I'm aware of.
+ If a generated redirect URL contains characters RFC 3986 doesn't
+ permit, they are (re)encoded. Not doing this makes Privoxy versions
