/*
 * Changes :
 * $Log$
 * Revision 1.8  2002/09/09 04:10:58  arma
 * port to actual BSD
 *
 * (hey nick, does this break the os x build?)
 *
 * you still need to add some stuff to the ./configure commandline...
 * anybody know a better solution?
 *
 * Revision 1.7  2002/09/03 18:44:23  nickm
 * Port to MacOS X
 *
 * Revision 1.6  2002/08/24 07:56:22  arma
 * proxies send port in host order as ascii string
 *
 * Revision 1.5  2002/07/20 02:01:18  arma
 * bugfixes: don't hang waiting for new children to die; accept HTTP/1.1
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2002/07/19 18:48:19  arma
 * slightly less noisy
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2002/07/12 18:14:16  montrose
 * removed loglevel from global namespace. severity level is set using log() with a NULL format argument now. example: log(LOG_ERR,NULL);
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/07/02 09:16:16  arma
 * httpap now prepends dest_addr and dest_port strings with their length.
 *
 * also, it now sets the listening socket option SO_REUSEADDR
 *
 * Revision 1.1.1.1  2002/06/26 22:45:50  arma
 * initial commit: current code
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2002/06/14 20:45:26  mp292
 * Extra debugging message.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2002/04/02 14:27:33  badbytes
 * Final finishes.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/03/12 23:40:58  mp292
 * Tested.
 *
 * Revision 1.1  2002/03/11 00:21:53  mp292
 * Coding completed. Pending testing.
