    Description:


    This update for the Apache Web Server introduces directives to control two
    protocol options:

    Content-Length of 0
    * HttpExpectStrict: Allow the administrator to control whether clients
    must send "100-continue"

    MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER_MINOR has been increased to 24, as this change is not
