Thread
Patch has been freshly retested against OpenBSD 7.7:

1. Adds a "[no] banner" directive to the global and server sections
of httpd.conf to selectively suppress the "Server:" HTTP header and
tokens in the error documents

2. Fixes a bug in debugging output introduced in a previous merge

3. Fixes a formatting nit in existing code

4. Relevant updates to man page documentation
