Description Hank Ibell 2018-01-09 19:37:42 UTC 
The current message for CGI stderr output when using mod_cgi looks similar to the following:
AH01215: "error-message" \r: C:/Apache/cgi-bin/my-cgi-program

If the stderr output from the CGI program is vague, the error message might be confusing to users. (e.g. "Execution failed" C:/Apache/cgi-bin/my-cgi-program).

The proposed patch changes the error message to:
AH01215: stderr from C:/Apache/cgi-bin/my-cgi-program: "error-message"

The patch also fixes the Windows line-ending issue observed above.
