4 Release [NOTE that only Alpha/Beta releases occur in 2.1 development]:
8 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
12 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
15 Contributors looking for a mission:
17 * just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" and see what's there
20 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
25 * Handling of non-trailing / config by non-default handler is broken
26 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105451701628081&w=2
28 * the edge connection filter cannot be removed
29 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105366252619530&w=2
33 * Promote mod_cache from experimental to non-experimental
34 status (keep issues noted below in EXPERIMENTAL MODULES as
35 items to be addressed as a supported module).
39 There are a couple of problems that need to be resolved
40 before this module is moved out of experimental.
41 1) We need to at least review and comment on the RFC violations
42 2) Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps -if- we
43 want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
44 will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
45 requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
46 CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
47 filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
48 effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
49 (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
50 CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
51 work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
52 the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
53 mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
54 line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
55 performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
58 jerenkrantz: There are a slew of RFC compliance bugs filed in Bugzilla
59 for mod_cache (see 'RFC 2616 violations' below). I think
60 fixing them is a pre-requisite before it isn't experimental.
62 * httpd-std.conf and friends
64 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
65 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
66 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,
68 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
70 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
74 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
75 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
76 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
78 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
79 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
80 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
81 usually needs major customizations
82 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
83 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
84 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
85 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
86 with the required inline docs to explain the
89 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
90 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
91 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

108 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing), rederpj, jim
111 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
113 * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
114 There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
115 (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
116 nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
117 subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
118 - swallow EOS buckets
119 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
120 filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
122 Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
123 it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
125 * RFC 2616 violations.
127 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
128 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
129 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
130 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
131 if these rise to showstopper status.
132 wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
133 out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
135 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
136 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
137 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
138 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
139 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
140 back when this is fixed.
142 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
143 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
144 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
145 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
146 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
148 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
149 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
150 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
151 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
153 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
154 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
155 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
157 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
158 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
161 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
162 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
163 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
164 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
165 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
166 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
167 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
168 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
169 program means nothing.
171 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
172 Status: Patches proposed
173 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
174 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
176 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
177 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
178 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
179 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
181 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
182 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
184 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
185 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
186 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
188 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
189 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
190 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
191 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
192 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
193 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
196 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
197 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
198 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
199 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
200 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
201 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
203 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
204 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
205 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
206 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
207 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
208 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
209 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
211 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
212 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
213 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
214 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
215 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
218 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
219 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
221 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
222 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
223 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
224 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
225 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
227 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
229 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
230 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
231 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
233 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
234 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
235 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
236 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
237 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
238 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
240 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
241 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
242 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
244 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
246 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
247 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
249 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
250 on all platforms and clean up our build system
252 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
253 January that you were going to commit within a few
256 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
257 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
258 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
259 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
260 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
261 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
262 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
263 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
264 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
265 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
266 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
267 allow it conditionally with a directive.
269 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
270 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
273 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
274 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
275 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
276 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
277 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
278 More examination and analysis is required.
279 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
280 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
281 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
283 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
284 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
285 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
286 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
287 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
288 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
289 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
290 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
291 at first the child or children will appear to work
292 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
293 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
294 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
295 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
296 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
297 possible that it is in APR.
299 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
300 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
301 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
302 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
303 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
304 our select() calls and their select() calls.
305 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
306 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
307 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
308 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
309 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
310 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
312 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
313 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
314 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
315 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
316 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
318 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
319 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
320 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
321 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
322 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
323 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
324 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
326 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
327 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
328 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
329 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
330 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
331 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
332 server-info or server-status.
333 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
334 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
335 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
337 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
338 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
339 child's-child processes in the parent process.
340 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
341 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
343 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
344 have also been proposed on APR.
346 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
348 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
351 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
352 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
353 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
355 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
356 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
357 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
359 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
361 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
362 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
363 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
364 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
365 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
366 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
367 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
368 do we address the issue above?
371 Some additional items remaining:
372 - case_preserved_filename stuff
373 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
374 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
375 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
377 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
378 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
379 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
380 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
381 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
382 translation has decided to do.
383 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
385 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
386 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
387 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
389 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
391 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
393 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
394 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
396 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
398 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
399 for failure (Doug volunteers)
401 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
402 (at least) needs to be done:
403 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
404 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
405 randomization in APR itself.
406 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
407 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
409 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
410 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
412 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
413 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
414 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
415 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
416 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
419 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
420 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
422 * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
423 or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
424 httpd-config or similar arrangement.
425 To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
427 thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
428 tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
429 query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
430 the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
431 gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
433 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
435 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
436 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
437 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
438 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
439 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
440 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
443 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
445 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
446 from the porting effort.
448 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
450 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
451 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
452 (ssl_expr_info is global)
453 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
454 (ssl_expr_error is global)
456 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
458 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
459 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
460 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
461 transactions, and more often if possible."
463 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
465 * CRL callback should be pluggable
467 * session cache store should be pluggable
469 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
471 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
472 to also decrypt proxy keys
474 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
475 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
478 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
479 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
480 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
481 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
482 connection is taken down.
484 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
485 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
487 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
488 a farm of backend servers.
490 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
492 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
494 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
495 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
496 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
497 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
499 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
500 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
501 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
502 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
504 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
505 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
506 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
508 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
510 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
511 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
513 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
515 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
516 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
517 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
518 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
519 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
520 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
523 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
526 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
527 directives (mod_disk_cache: CacheExpiryCheck and GC directives
528 including CacheGc*, CacheSize, and, CacheTimeMargin)
529 (mod_mem_cache: MCacheMaxObjectCount) and
530 (mod_cache: CacheForceCompletion).
532 mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
533 * General stabilization and testing
536 PRs that have been suspended forever waiting for someone to
537 put them into 'the next release':

854 PR#5713: os-windows [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
855 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
856 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
860 Other bugs that need fixing:
862 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
863 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
865 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
866 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
867 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
869 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
870 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
871 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
873 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
874 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
875 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
877 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
878 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
879 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
881 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
882 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
883 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
884 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
885 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
886 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.

888 likely the one to break it :-)
