Subject: Merge r1901071 from trunk:
X-Git-Tag: 2.4.54-rc1-candidate~57
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=29ea6ee7a4e832cf6565603a34ebf7b2691b9a02;p=thirdparty%2Fapache%2Fhttpd.git

Merge r1901071 from trunk:

escaping doesn't actually happen by default

otherwise, we would not have [B] and two internal escape functions.
