65 Contributors looking for a mission:
67 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
69 * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
71 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database:
73 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable
75 After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
77 * Open bugs in the bug database.
79 * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items.
82 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
84 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
85 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
86 only be made in the trunk.
88 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
89 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
90 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
92 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
96 . non-Unix, single-platform code

112 2.4.x patch: trunk works
113 +1: ylavic, jorton, rjung (as is)
114 covener: I did not look in depth, but is the preceding log message also bad?
115 ylavic: No, this concerns the next for (;; e = APR_BUCKET_NEXT(e)) iteration.
116 We could also s/apr_bucket_delete/APR_BUCKET_REMOVE/ instead, but
117 stripping some (unhandled) buckets from the source brigade does
118 not look correct to me either (brigade *to is to be consumed, but
119 *from is still living, the caller may want to reuse it, eg:
120 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=31686).
123 * mod_proxy: Preserve original request headers even if they differ
124 from the ones to be forwarded to the backend. PR 45387.
125 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1588527
126 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES)
129 * mod_proxy: Don't limit the size of the connectable Unix Domain Socket paths.

296 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823
298 * Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target.
299 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
300 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

304 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
307 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
308 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
309 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
310 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
311 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
312 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
313 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
314 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
315 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
316 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
317 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
318 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
319 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
320 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
321 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
322 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
323 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
324 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
325 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
326 of described indirectly in a sample?
327 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
328 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
329 existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people
330 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
331 real httpd usability problem.)
332 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
333 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
334 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
335 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
336 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
337 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
