code are an exception: they are not converted to ASCII a second

+* By examining the call hierarchy for the BUFF management routines,
+ I added an "ebcdic/ascii conversion layer" which would be crossed
+ on every puts/write/get/gets, and a conversion flag which allowed
+ switching of the conversions on-the-fly. So it is now possible to
+ read the header lines of a CGI-script output in EBCDIC format, and
+ then find out that the remainder of the script's output is in
+ ASCII (like in the output of a WWW Counter program). Likewise, the
+ server always generates its header lines in EBCDIC (and with ASCII
+ conversion enabled) and determines, based on the type of document
+ being served, whether the document body (except for the chunking
+ information, of course) is in ASCII already or is converted from
+ EBCDIC.
+
* For Text documents (MIME types text/plain, text/html etc.), an
implicit translation to ASCII can be used, or (if the users prefer
to store some documents in raw ASCII form for faster serving) can

+Notes:
+ To use the mod_auth_db functionality, you will need a working libdb.a.
+On the system where I did the port none was available, so I ported the
+standard db-1.85.14 with little problems. Note however that you will need
+a working perl5 as well if you want to use Apache's dbmmanage script to
+maintain db user databases.

This is particularly important if you are using non-IP based virtual hosts.
