Not yet ported. * ability to follow X-Forwarded-For. Not yet ported. * Full caching of Vary/ETag using If-None-Match. Only basic Vary cache supported. Not yet ported. * Mapping of server error messages. Not yet ported. * http_access2 access directive. Not yet ported. * Location header rewrites. Not yet ported. * wais_relay.
