47 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
51 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
56 * apr_poll() grows the pool (e.g., pchild or the thread's pool) on
57 each call... Apache MPMs don't have logic to work around this
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
68 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
72 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
73 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
74 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
76 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
77 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
79 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
80 usually needs major customizations
83 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
85 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
87 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
90 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
91 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
92 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

101 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
104 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.

106 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
107 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
110 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
112 * Performance problems in the content-length filter:
113 - In many situations, the C-L filter sets aside buckets
114 until it sees EOS. Setting aside file buckets is bad
115 because it requires an mmap+memcpy+munmap.
116 - In addition, the C-L filter reads and buffers all the
117 content from a pipe bucket.
119 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
120 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
121 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
122 Is this a showstopper?
126 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
128 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
130 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
131 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
134 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
135 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
136 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
137 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
138 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
139 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
140 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
141 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
142 program means nothing.
144 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
145 Status: Patches proposed
146 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
147 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
149 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
150 work items left to complete)
152 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
153 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
154 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
155 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
157 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
158 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
160 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
161 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
162 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
164 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
165 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
166 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
167 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
168 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
169 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
172 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
173 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
174 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
175 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
176 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
177 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
179 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
180 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
181 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
182 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
183 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
184 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
185 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
187 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
188 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
190 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
191 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
192 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
193 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
194 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
197 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
198 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
199 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
200 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
202 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
204 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
205 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
207 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
208 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
209 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
210 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
211 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
212 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
213 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
214 Not a showstopper: Justin
216 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
218 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
219 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
220 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
222 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
223 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
224 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
225 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
226 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
227 back when this is fixed. rbb
228 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
229 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
231 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
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 the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
239 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
240 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
243 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
244 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
245 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
247 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
249 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
250 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
252 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
253 on all platforms and clean up our build system
255 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
256 January that you were going to commit within a few
259 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
260 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
261 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
262 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
263 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
264 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
265 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
266 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
267 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
268 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
269 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
270 allow it conditionally with a directive.
272 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
273 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
274 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
275 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
276 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
277 More examination and analysis is required.
278 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
279 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
281 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
282 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
283 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
284 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
285 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
286 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
287 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
288 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
289 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
290 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
291 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
292 at first the child or children will appear to work
293 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
294 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
295 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
296 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
297 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
298 possible that it is in APR.
300 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
301 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
302 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
303 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
304 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
305 our select() calls and their select() calls.
306 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
307 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
308 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
309 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
310 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
311 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
313 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
314 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
315 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
316 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
317 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
318 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
319 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
320 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
321 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
322 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
323 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
324 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
325 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
327 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
328 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
329 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
330 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
331 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
332 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
333 server-info or server-status.
334 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
335 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
336 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
339 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
340 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
341 child's-child processes in the parent process.
342 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
343 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
344 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
345 and whack them if the child goes down.
346 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
347 have also been proposed on APR.
349 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
350 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
351 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
352 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
353 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
354 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
355 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
356 argument to the registered fn.
358 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
360 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
363 * Document mod_file_cache.
365 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
366 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
367 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
369 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
370 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
371 duplicates what is in APR.
373 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
374 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
375 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
377 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
379 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
380 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
381 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
382 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
383 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
384 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
385 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
386 do we address the issue above?
389 Some additional items remaining:
390 - case_preserved_filename stuff
391 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
392 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
393 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
395 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
396 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
397 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
398 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
399 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
400 translation has decided to do.
401 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
403 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
404 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
405 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
407 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
409 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
411 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
412 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
414 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
416 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
417 for failure (Doug volunteers)
419 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
420 (at least) needs to be done:
421 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
422 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
423 randomization in APR itself.
424 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
425 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
427 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
428 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
430 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
431 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
432 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
433 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
434 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
437 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
439 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
440 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
441 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
442 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
443 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
444 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
447 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
449 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
450 from the porting effort.
452 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
454 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
455 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
456 (ssl_expr_info is global)
457 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
458 (ssl_expr_error is global)
460 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
462 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
463 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
464 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
465 transactions, and more often if possible."
467 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
469 * CRL callback should be pluggable
471 * session cache store should be pluggable
473 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
475 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
476 to also decrypt proxy keys
478 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
479 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
482 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
484 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
485 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
486 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
487 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
489 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
491 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
492 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
493 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
495 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
497 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
498 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
500 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
502 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
503 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
504 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
505 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
506 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
507 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
510 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
511 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
512 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
513 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
514 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
516 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
519 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
520 inclusion into httpd.conf.
522 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

843 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the

848 Other bugs that need fixing:
850 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
851 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
853 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
854 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
855 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
857 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
858 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
859 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
861 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
862 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
863 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
865 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
866 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
867 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
869 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
870 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
871 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
872 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
873 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
874 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
