Other updates and bugfixes: - Upgrade libtcnative to v2 (bsc#1232390) - Tomcat 11.0.23: * Catalina + Add: Add support for literal '%' characters in access log output. Based on pull request #1002 by Fabian Hahn. (markt) + Fix: Lower the log level to debug when OpenSSL initialization fails in OpenSSLLifecycleListener to avoid stack traces when libssl.so is not present and to align the behavior of the isAvailable() check with the AprLifecycleListener and gracefully fail when natives are not present. (csutherl) + Fix: 70038: Cookie.clone() should also clone the internal attribute map. (markt) + Code: Remove unnecessary code from the SSI processing engine that was duplicating some of the normalisation checks. (markt) + Fix: Cleaner handling of invalid SPNEGO tokens. (remm) + Fix: Avoid some NPEs in the Connector class on an uninitialize protocol. (remm) + Fix: Incorrect session average life calculation. (remm) + Fix: Improve robustness on using Pipeline.setBasic on a running pipeline. (remm) + Fix: Avoid any init parameter updates when conflicts are found for filters, similar to what is done for servlets, as required by the servlet specification. (remm) + Fix: Fix container event cleanups in some edge cases. (remm) + Fix: Check for last-modified header in ExpiresFilter when a servlet uses addDateHeader to avoid wrongly considering it has been set. (remm) + Fix: Fix hour unit used by ExpiresFilter. (remm) + Fix: Remove exception swallowing in DataSourceStore to align it with FileStore and avoid session loss on errors. (remm) + Fix: Add support for single-quote escaped literal as well as quoted literals in DateFormatCache. (schultz) + Fix: On JAAS logout, clear out role principals on the subject that were added on commit, as recommended by the JAAS specification. (remm) + Fix: MemoryRealm should not add a dummy role when none is specified in the configuration. (remm) + Fix: DataSourceUserDatabase should return a null principal on a non existing user. (remm) + Fix: Fix shared lock expiration in WebDAV. (remm) + Fix: Inaccurate session exipration statistics when using the persistent manager. (remm) + Fix: Skip BOM when serving files with UTF-32 encoding. (remm) + Fix: Mixup of WrapperListener and WrapperLifecycle elements in storeconfig. (remm) + Fix: Incorrect processing of modified users in DataSourceUserDatabase. (remm) + Update: Clarify behavior in the UserDatabase for user, role and group creation that it does not immediately override existing elements. Removal (or update) needs to be used instead. (remm) + Fix: 70049: Align the web application class loader with parent class loaders and swallow any errors caused by invalid paths when looking up resources and behave as if the resources were not found in that case. (markt) + Fix: Improve validation of Range and Content-Range parsers so invalid ranges trigger a 4xx response rather than a 500 response. Pull request #1012 provided by Sahana Surendra Bogar. (markt) + Fix: Fix connection leak in ProxyErrorReportValve. (remm) + Fix: When using the RewriteValve, %{SSL:HTTPS} now returns on or off rather than true or false to align with httpd. (markt) + Fix: Reset the encoding used for query string parameters between requests in case an application changed the encoding in a previous request. (markt) + Fix: When encoding URLs with the CsrfPreventionFilter, don't add the nonce to URLs that are known not to require it. (markt) + Fix: Fix SSO cookie partitioned configuration. (remm) + Fix: Fix CombinedRealm isAvailable, it allows authentication if at least one sub realm is available. (remm) + Fix: 70048: Correctly handle asynchronous requ
