/* Comments:
*
* We want an identifier which is unique across all hits, everywhere.
* "everywhere" includes multiple httpd instances on the same machine, or on
* multiple machines. Essentially "everywhere" should include all possible
* httpds across all servers at a particular "site". We make some assumptions
* that if the site has a cluster of machines then their time is relatively
* synchronized. We also assume that the first address returned by a
* gethostbyname (gethostname()) is unique across all the machines at the
* "site".
*
* We also further assume that pids fit in 32-bits. If something uses more
* than 32-bits, the fix is trivial, but it requires the unrolled uuencoding
* loop to be extended. * A similar fix is needed to support multithreaded
* servers, using a pid/tid combo.
*
* Together, the in_addr and pid are assumed to absolutely uniquely identify
* this one child from all other currently running children on all servers
* (including this physical server if it is running multiple httpds) from each
* other.
*
* The stamp and counter are used to distinguish all hits for a particular
* (in_addr,pid) pair. The stamp is updated using r->request_time,
* saving cpu cycles. The counter is never reset, and is used to permit up to
* 64k requests in a single second by a single child.
*
* The 112-bits of unique_id_rec are encoded using the alphabet
* [A-Za-z0-9@-], resulting in 19 bytes of printable characters. That is then
* stuffed into the environment variable UNIQUE_ID so that it is available to
* other modules. The alphabet choice differs from normal base64 encoding
* [A-Za-z0-9+/] because + and / are special characters in URLs and we want to
* make it easy to use UNIQUE_ID in URLs.
*
* Note that UNIQUE_ID should be considered an opaque token by other
* applications. No attempt should be made to dissect its internal components.
* It is an abstraction that may change in the future as the needs of this
* module change.
*
* It is highly desirable that identifiers exist for "eternity". But future
* needs (such as much faster webservers, moving to 64-bit pids, or moving to a
* multithreaded server) may dictate a need to change the contents of
* unique_id_rec. Such a future implementation should ensure that the first
* field is still a time_t stamp. By doing that, it is possible for a site to
* have a "flag second" in which they stop all of their old-format servers,
* wait one entire second, and then start all of their new-servers. This
* procedure will ensure that the new space of identifiers is completely unique
* from the old space. (Since the first four unencoded bytes always differ.)

* Sun Jun 7 05:43:49 CEST 1998 -- Alvaro
* More comments:
* 1) The UUencoding prodecure is now done in a general way, avoiding the problems
* with sizes and paddings that can arise depending on the architecture. Now the
* offsets and sizes of the elements of the unique_id_rec structure are calculated
* in unique_id_global_init; and then used to duplicate the structure without the
* paddings that might exist. The multithreaded server fix should be now very easy:
* just add a new "tid" field to the unique_id_rec structure, and increase by one
* UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX.
* 2) unique_id_rec.stamp has been changed from "time_t" to "unsigned int", because
* its size is 64bits on some platforms (linux/alpha), and this caused problems with
* htonl/ntohl. Well, this shouldn't be a problem till year 2106.
