The most important change is local redirects being disabled by default. There is an option called cgi.local-redir that allows enabling this optimization manually back if needed. Local redirects were initially introduced in 1.4.40 but caused many problems for *some* web services. One of problems is breaking Post/Redirect/Get design pattern. With redirects handled on server side there is no browser redirection making it "lose" the POST data. Another possible issue are HTML forms with action="". With CGI local redirects browser may be sending form data to the wrong URL (the one that was supposed to redirect the browser). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>lilik-openwrt-22.03

Subject: [PATCH] [mod_cgi] status 200 OK if no hdrs (deprecated) (#2786) | |||||
set status 200 OK if CGI does not return CGI headers | |||||
Note: | |||||
This mode in lighttpd is deprecated and may be removed in the next major | |||||
release of lighttpd. CGI scripts should return a proper CGI header in | |||||
the response, even if that header is empty and followed by a blank line, | |||||
before return response body. | |||||
Without a proper CGI response header, the first line(s) of the response | |||||
might be incorrectly construed as being CGI response headers, especially | |||||
if they contain ':', and response may be corrupted. That is why this | |||||
mode is deprecated (and not supported in numerous other web servers). | |||||
The minimal valid CGI response header is "\n", which lighttpd will treat | |||||
as equivalent to "Status: 200\n\n" | |||||

Subject: [PATCH] [mod_cgi] cgi.local-redir = [enable|disable] (#2108, #2793) | |||||
new directive cgi.local-redir = [enable|disable] | |||||
*disable* RFC3875 6.2.2 local-redir by default. | |||||
(behavior change from when local-redir support added in lighttpd 1.4.40) | |||||
The reason for this behavior change is that CGI local-redir support | |||||
(RFC3875 6.2.2) is an optimization. Absence of support may result in | |||||
additional latency in servicing a request due the additional round-trip | |||||
to the client, but that was the prior behavior (before lighttpd 1.4.40) | |||||
and is the behavior of web servers which do not support CGI local-redir. | |||||
However, enabling CGI local-redir by default may result in broken links | |||||
in the case where a user config (unaware of CGI local-redir behavior) | |||||
returns HTML pages containing *relative* paths (not root-relative paths) | |||||
which are relative to the location of the local-redir target document, | |||||
and the local-redir target document is located at a different URL-path | |||||
from the original CGI request. | |||||
