7 2.1.2 : Released on 12/08/2004 as alpha.
8 2.1.1 : Released on 11/19/2004 as alpha.
11 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
15 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
18 Contributors looking for a mission:
20 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
22 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database.
23 Append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
25 * Open bugs in the bug database.
27 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
31 * Handling of non-trailing / config by non-default handler is broken
32 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105451701628081&w=2
33 jerenkrantz asks: Why should this block a release?
35 * the edge connection filter cannot be removed
36 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105366252619530&w=2
37 jerenkrantz asks: Why should this block a release?
39 * Replace proxy handling of request bodies with something which doesn't
40 gobble up arbitrary amounts of memory. See proxy_http.c in
41 proxy-reqbody branch for new implementation.
45 * httpd-std.conf and friends
47 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
48 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
49 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,
51 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
53 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
57 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
58 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
59 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
61 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
62 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
63 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
64 usually needs major customizations
65 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
66 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
67 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
68 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
69 with the required inline docs to explain the
72 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
73 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
74 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
76 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
78 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin, Lars

80 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, jim, Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
82 /* The below was a concept on *how* to handle the problem */

94 pquerna: Do we want to change this for 2.2?
96 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
98 * Patches submitted to the bug database:
99 http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2.0&keywords=PatchAvailable
101 * The Event MPM does not work on Solaris 10. Solaris 10 does support the
102 Threadsafe Pollsets required by the Event MPM, but it does not support
103 multiple threads calling accept() at the same time. The current
104 structure of the Event MPM makes adding accept() locking difficult.
106 * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
107 There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
108 (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
109 nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
110 subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
111 - swallow EOS buckets
112 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
113 filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
115 Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
116 it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
118 * RFC 2616 violations.
120 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
121 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
122 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
123 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
124 if these rise to showstopper status.
125 wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
126 out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
128 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
129 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
130 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
131 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
132 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
133 back when this is fixed.
135 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
136 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
137 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
138 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
139 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
141 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
142 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
143 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
144 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
146 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
147 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
148 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
150 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
151 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
154 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
155 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
156 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
157 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
158 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
159 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
160 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
161 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
162 program means nothing.
164 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
165 Status: Patches proposed
166 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
167 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
169 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
170 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
171 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
172 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
174 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
175 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
177 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
178 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
179 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
181 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
182 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
183 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
184 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
185 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
186 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
189 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
190 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
191 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
192 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
193 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
194 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
196 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
197 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
198 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
199 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
200 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
201 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
202 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
204 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
205 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
206 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
207 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
208 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
211 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
212 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
214 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
215 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
216 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
217 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
218 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
220 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
222 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
223 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
224 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
226 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
227 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
228 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
229 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
230 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
231 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
233 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
234 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
235 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
237 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
239 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
240 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
242 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
243 on all platforms and clean up our build system
245 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
246 January that you were going to commit within a few
249 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
250 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
251 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
252 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
253 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
254 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
255 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
256 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
257 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
258 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
259 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
260 allow it conditionally with a directive.
262 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
263 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
266 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
267 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
268 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
269 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
270 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
271 More examination and analysis is required.
272 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
273 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
274 FreeBSD 5.2-RC is a confirmed fix w/either libkse or libthr.
275 [libc_r, still the default, does not serve any pages w/worker;
276 so on FreeBSD 5.2, you must use libmap.conf (see man page).]
277 Work needs to be done to get APR to try to be knowledgable that
278 libkse/libthr are acceptable. Still not recommended for the
279 default since libc_r is still broken.
280 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
282 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
283 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
284 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
285 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
286 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
288 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
289 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
290 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
291 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
292 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
293 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
294 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
296 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
297 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
298 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
299 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
300 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
301 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
302 server-info or server-status.
303 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
304 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
305 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
307 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
308 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
309 child's-child processes in the parent process.
310 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
311 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
313 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
314 have also been proposed on APR.
316 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
318 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
321 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
322 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
323 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
325 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
326 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
327 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
329 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
331 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
332 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
333 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
334 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
335 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
336 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
337 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
338 do we address the issue above?
341 Some additional items remaining:
342 - case_preserved_filename stuff
343 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
344 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
345 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
347 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
348 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
349 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
350 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
351 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
352 translation has decided to do.
353 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
355 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
356 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
357 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
359 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
361 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
363 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
364 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
366 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
368 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
369 for failure (Doug volunteers)
371 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
372 (at least) needs to be done:
373 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
374 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
375 randomization in APR itself.
376 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
377 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
379 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
380 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
382 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
383 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
384 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
385 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
386 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
389 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
390 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
392 * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
393 or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
394 httpd-config or similar arrangement.
395 To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
397 thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
398 tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
399 query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
400 the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
401 gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
403 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
405 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
406 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
407 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
408 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
409 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
410 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
413 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
415 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
416 from the porting effort.
418 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
420 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
421 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
422 (ssl_expr_info is global)
423 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
424 (ssl_expr_error is global)
426 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
428 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
429 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
430 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
431 transactions, and more often if possible."
433 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
435 * CRL callback should be pluggable
437 * session cache store should be pluggable
439 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
441 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
442 to also decrypt proxy keys
444 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
445 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
448 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
449 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
450 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
451 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
452 connection is taken down.
454 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
455 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
457 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
458 a farm of backend servers.
460 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
462 * mod_cache: Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps
463 -if- we want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
464 will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
465 requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
466 CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
467 filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
468 effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
469 (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
470 CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
471 work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
472 the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
473 mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
474 line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
475 performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
477 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
479 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
480 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
481 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
483 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
484 jerenkrantz says: Too slow. Get regexs away from speedy caches by
485 default. Introduce a new CacheEnableRegex if you want.
487 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
488 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
489 jerenkrantz says: APR 1.0+ has some guaranteed form of atomics.
491 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
492 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
493 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
494 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
495 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
496 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
498 jerenkrantz says: Yawn. Who cares.
500 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
502 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
503 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
504 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
505 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.

820 PR#5713: os-windows [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
821 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
822 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
826 Other bugs that need fixing:
828 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
829 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
831 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
832 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
833 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
835 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
836 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
837 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
839 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
840 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
841 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
843 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
844 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
845 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
847 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
848 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
849 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
850 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
851 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
852 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.

854 likely the one to break it :-)
