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?
41 * httpd-std.conf and friends
43 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
44 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
45 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,
47 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
49 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
53 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
54 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
55 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
57 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
58 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
59 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
60 usually needs major customizations
61 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
62 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
63 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
64 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
65 with the required inline docs to explain the
68 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
69 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
70 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

87 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing), rederpj, jim
90 pquerna: Do we want to change this for 2.2?
92 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
94 * Patches submitted to the bug database:
95 http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2.0&keywords=PatchAvailable
97 * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
98 There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
99 (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
100 nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
101 subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
102 - swallow EOS buckets
103 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
104 filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
106 Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
107 it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
109 * RFC 2616 violations.
111 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
112 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
113 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
114 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
115 if these rise to showstopper status.
116 wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
117 out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
119 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
120 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
121 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
122 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
123 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
124 back when this is fixed.
126 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
127 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
128 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
129 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
130 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
132 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
133 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
134 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
135 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
137 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
138 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
139 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
141 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
142 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
145 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
146 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
147 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
148 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
149 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
150 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
151 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
152 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
153 program means nothing.
155 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
156 Status: Patches proposed
157 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
158 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
160 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
161 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
162 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
163 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
165 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
166 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
168 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
169 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
170 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
172 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
173 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
174 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
175 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
176 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
177 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
180 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
181 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
182 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
183 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
184 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
185 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
187 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
188 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
189 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
190 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
191 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
192 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
193 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
195 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
196 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
197 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
198 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
199 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
202 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
203 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
205 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
206 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
207 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
208 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
209 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
211 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
213 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
214 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
215 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
217 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
218 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
219 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
220 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
221 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
222 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
224 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
225 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
226 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
228 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
230 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
231 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
233 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
234 on all platforms and clean up our build system
236 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
237 January that you were going to commit within a few
240 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
241 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
242 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
243 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
244 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
245 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
246 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
247 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
248 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
249 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
250 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
251 allow it conditionally with a directive.
253 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
254 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
257 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
258 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
259 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
260 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
261 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
262 More examination and analysis is required.
263 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
264 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
265 FreeBSD 5.2-RC is a confirmed fix w/either libkse or libthr.
266 [libc_r, still the default, does not serve any pages w/worker;
267 so on FreeBSD 5.2, you must use libmap.conf (see man page).]
268 Work needs to be done to get APR to try to be knowledgable that
269 libkse/libthr are acceptable. Still not recommended for the
270 default since libc_r is still broken.
271 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
273 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
274 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
275 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
276 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
277 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
279 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
280 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
281 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
282 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
283 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
284 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
285 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
287 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
288 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
289 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
290 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
291 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
292 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
293 server-info or server-status.
294 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
295 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
296 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
298 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
299 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
300 child's-child processes in the parent process.
301 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
302 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
304 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
305 have also been proposed on APR.
307 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
309 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
312 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
313 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
314 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
316 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
317 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
318 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
320 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
322 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
323 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
324 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
325 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
326 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
327 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
328 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
329 do we address the issue above?
332 Some additional items remaining:
333 - case_preserved_filename stuff
334 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
335 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
336 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
338 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
339 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
340 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
341 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
342 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
343 translation has decided to do.
344 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
346 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
347 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
348 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
350 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
352 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
354 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
355 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
357 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
359 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
360 for failure (Doug volunteers)
362 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
363 (at least) needs to be done:
364 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
365 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
366 randomization in APR itself.
367 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
368 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
370 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
371 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
373 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
374 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
375 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
376 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
377 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
380 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
381 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
383 * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
384 or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
385 httpd-config or similar arrangement.
386 To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
388 thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
389 tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
390 query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
391 the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
392 gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
394 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
396 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
397 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
398 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
399 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
400 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
401 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
404 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
406 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
407 from the porting effort.
409 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
411 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
412 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
413 (ssl_expr_info is global)
414 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
415 (ssl_expr_error is global)
417 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
419 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
420 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
421 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
422 transactions, and more often if possible."
424 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
426 * CRL callback should be pluggable
428 * session cache store should be pluggable
430 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
432 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
433 to also decrypt proxy keys
435 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
436 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
439 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
440 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
441 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
442 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
443 connection is taken down.
445 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
446 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
448 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
449 a farm of backend servers.
451 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
453 * mod_cache: Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps
454 -if- we want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
455 will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
456 requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
457 CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
458 filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
459 effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
460 (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
461 CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
462 work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
463 the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
464 mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
465 line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
466 performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
468 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
470 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
471 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
472 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
474 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
475 jerenkrantz says: Too slow. Get regexs away from speedy caches by
476 default. Introduce a new CacheEnableRegex if you want.
478 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
479 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
480 jerenkrantz says: APR 1.0+ has some guaranteed form of atomics.
482 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
483 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
484 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
485 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
486 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
487 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
489 jerenkrantz says: Yawn. Who cares.
491 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
493 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
494 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
495 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
496 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.

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

845 likely the one to break it :-)
