43 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
47 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
51 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
59 * apachectl should revert to just being an init script and
60 httpd.sh should be the wrapper for httpd which sources envvars
61 and allows any options to be passed through
65 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
67 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
69 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
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
79 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
80 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
81 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
82 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
83 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
86 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
87 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS
88 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
89 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
92 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
94 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
95 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
96 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
97 Is this a showstopper?
101 * 500 returned instead of 501 if a handler other than default_handler
102 is invoked on a method with M_INVALID.
103 Message-ID: <20020613001913.J22524@apache.org>
104 Proposed patch: <20020613111913.S22524@apache.org>
105 Is this a showstopper?
109 * Returning invalid 304 errors when filters are present. [PR 9673]
110 Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061713320.3848-100000@lab26.lacfas.hec.ca>
111 <20020607135121.G19485@apache.org>
112 <20020610204425.B19018@lyra.org>
113 Proposed patch: <20020607214725.K19485@apache.org>
114 Status: We should set r->no_local_copy, but where can we set it?
115 We must set it before the handlers are run so that the
116 appropriate handler can call ap_meets_conditions() before
117 generating the data. Greg has reservations about Justin's
118 proposed patch. Consensus needed.
119 Is this a showstopper?
123 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
125 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
127 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
128 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
131 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
132 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
133 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
135 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
136 Status: Patches proposed
137 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
138 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
140 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
141 work items left to complete)
143 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
144 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
145 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
146 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
148 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
149 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
151 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
152 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
153 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
155 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
156 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
157 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
158 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
159 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
160 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
163 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
164 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
165 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
166 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
167 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
168 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
170 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
171 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
172 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
173 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
174 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
175 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
176 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
178 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
179 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
181 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
182 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
183 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
184 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
185 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
188 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
189 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
190 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
191 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
193 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
195 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
196 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
198 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
199 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
200 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
201 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
202 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
203 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
204 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
205 Not a showstopper: Justin
207 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
209 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
211 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
212 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
213 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
214 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
215 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
216 back when this is fixed. rbb
217 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
218 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
220 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
222 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
223 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
224 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
225 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
226 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
227 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
228 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
229 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
232 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
233 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
234 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
236 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
238 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
239 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
241 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
242 on all platforms and clean up our build system
244 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
245 January that you were going to commit within a few
248 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
249 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
250 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
251 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
252 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
253 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
254 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
255 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
256 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
257 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
258 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
259 allow it conditionally with a directive.
261 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
262 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
263 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
264 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
265 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
266 More examination and analysis is required.
267 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
268 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
270 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
271 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
272 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
273 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
274 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
275 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
276 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
277 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
278 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
279 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
280 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
281 at first the child or children will appear to work
282 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
283 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
284 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
285 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
286 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
287 possible that it is in APR.
289 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
290 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
291 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
292 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
293 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
294 our select() calls and their select() calls.
295 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
296 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
297 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
298 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
299 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
300 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
302 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
303 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
304 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
305 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
306 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
307 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
308 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
309 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
310 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
311 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
312 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
313 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
314 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
316 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
317 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
318 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
319 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
320 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
321 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
322 server-info or server-status.
323 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
325 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
326 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
327 child's-child processes in the parent process.
328 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
329 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
330 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
331 and whack them if the child goes down.
332 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
333 have also been proposed on APR.
335 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
336 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
337 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
338 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
339 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
340 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
341 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
342 argument to the registered fn.
344 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
346 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
349 * Document mod_file_cache.
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 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
356 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
357 duplicates what is in APR.
359 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
360 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
361 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
363 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
365 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
366 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
367 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
368 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
369 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
370 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
371 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
372 do we address the issue above?
375 Some additional items remaining:
376 - case_preserved_filename stuff
377 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
378 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
379 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
381 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
382 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
383 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
384 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
385 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
386 translation has decided to do.
387 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
389 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
390 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
391 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
393 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
395 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
397 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
398 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
400 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
402 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
403 for failure (Doug volunteers)
405 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
406 (at least) needs to be done:
407 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
408 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
409 randomization in APR itself.
410 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
411 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
413 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
414 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
416 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
417 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
418 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
419 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
420 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
423 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
425 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
426 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
427 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
428 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
429 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
430 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
433 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
435 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
436 from the porting effort.
438 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
440 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
441 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
442 (ssl_expr_info is global)
443 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
444 (ssl_expr_error is global)
446 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
448 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
449 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
450 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
451 transactions, and more often if possible."
453 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
456 * CRL callback should be pluggable
458 * session cache store should be pluggable
460 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
462 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
463 to also decrypt proxy keys
465 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
466 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
469 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
470 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
471 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
472 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
473 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
475 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
476 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
477 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
478 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
480 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
482 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
483 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
485 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
487 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
488 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
489 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
490 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
491 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
492 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
495 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
496 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
497 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
498 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
499 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
501 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
504 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
505 inclusion into httpd.conf.
507 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

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