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" in the source.
19 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database.
20 Append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
22 * Open bugs in the bug database.
24 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
26 * When the CVS->SVN is done, there's a bogus avendor branch that should be
27 removed from most files. The branch was created 4/27/2004. It's safest
28 (and easiest) for now just to leave it in there; the MAIN branch and the
29 APACHE_2_0_BRANCH are untouched and unharmed. --jwoolley
33 * Handling of non-trailing / config by non-default handler is broken
34 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105451701628081&w=2
36 * the edge connection filter cannot be removed
37 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105366252619530&w=2
41 * Promote mod_cache from experimental to non-experimental
42 status (keep issues noted below in EXPERIMENTAL MODULES as
43 items to be addressed as a supported module).
47 There are a couple of problems that need to be resolved
48 before this module is moved out of experimental.
49 1) We need to at least review and comment on the RFC violations
50 2) Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps -if- we
51 want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
52 will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
53 requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
54 CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
55 filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
56 effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
57 (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
58 CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
59 work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
60 the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
61 mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
62 line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
63 performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
66 jerenkrantz: There are a slew of RFC compliance bugs filed in Bugzilla
67 for mod_cache (see 'RFC 2616 violations' below). I think
68 fixing them is a pre-requisite before it isn't experimental.
70 * httpd-std.conf and friends
72 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
73 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
74 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,
76 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
78 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
82 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
83 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
84 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
86 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
87 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
88 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
89 usually needs major customizations
90 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
91 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
92 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
93 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
94 with the required inline docs to explain the
97 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
98 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
99 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
101 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
103 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin, Lars
104 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
105 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, jim, Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
107 /* The below was a concept on *how* to handle the problem */
108 Have 2 parents: +1: jim
109 -1: Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
110 +0: Lars, Martin (while standing by, could it do
113 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
114 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker, wrowe, nd

116 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing), rederpj, jim
119 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
121 * Patches submitted to the bug database:
122 http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2.0&keywords=PatchAvailable
124 * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
125 There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
126 (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
127 nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
128 subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
129 - swallow EOS buckets
130 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
131 filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
133 Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
134 it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
136 * RFC 2616 violations.
138 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
139 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
140 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
141 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
142 if these rise to showstopper status.
143 wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
144 out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
146 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
147 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
148 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
149 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
150 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
151 back when this is fixed.
153 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
154 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
155 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
156 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
157 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
159 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
160 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
161 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
162 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
164 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
165 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
166 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
168 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
169 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
172 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
173 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
174 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
175 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
176 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
177 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
178 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
179 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
180 program means nothing.
182 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
183 Status: Patches proposed
184 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
185 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
187 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
188 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
189 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
190 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
192 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
193 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
195 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
196 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
197 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
199 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
200 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
201 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
202 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
203 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
204 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
207 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
208 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
209 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
210 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
211 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
212 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
214 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
215 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
216 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
217 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
218 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
219 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
220 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
222 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
223 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
224 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
225 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
226 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
229 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
230 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
232 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
233 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
234 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
235 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
236 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
238 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
240 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
241 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
242 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
244 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
245 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
246 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
247 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
248 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
249 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
251 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
252 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
253 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
255 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
257 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
258 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
260 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
261 on all platforms and clean up our build system
263 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
264 January that you were going to commit within a few
267 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
268 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
269 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
270 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
271 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
272 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
273 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
274 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
275 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
276 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
277 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
278 allow it conditionally with a directive.
280 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
281 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
284 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
285 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
286 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
287 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
288 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
289 More examination and analysis is required.
290 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
291 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
292 FreeBSD 5.2-RC is a confirmed fix w/either libkse or libthr.
293 [libc_r, still the default, does not serve any pages w/worker;
294 so on FreeBSD 5.2, you must use libmap.conf (see man page).]
295 Work needs to be done to get APR to try to be knowledgable that
296 libkse/libthr are acceptable. Still not recommended for the
297 default since libc_r is still broken.
298 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
300 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
301 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
302 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
303 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
304 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
306 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
307 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
308 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
309 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
310 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
311 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
312 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
314 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
315 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
316 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
317 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
318 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
319 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
320 server-info or server-status.
321 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
322 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
323 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
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 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
329 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
331 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
332 have also been proposed on APR.
334 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
336 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
339 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
340 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
341 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
343 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
344 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
345 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
347 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
349 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
350 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
351 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
352 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
353 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
354 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
355 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
356 do we address the issue above?
359 Some additional items remaining:
360 - case_preserved_filename stuff
361 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
362 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
363 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
365 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
366 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
367 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
368 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
369 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
370 translation has decided to do.
371 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
373 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
374 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
375 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
377 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
379 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
381 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
382 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
384 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
386 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
387 for failure (Doug volunteers)
389 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
390 (at least) needs to be done:
391 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
392 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
393 randomization in APR itself.
394 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
395 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
397 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
398 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
400 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
401 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
402 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
403 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
404 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
407 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
408 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
410 * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
411 or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
412 httpd-config or similar arrangement.
413 To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
415 thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
416 tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
417 query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
418 the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
419 gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
421 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
423 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
424 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
425 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
426 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
427 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
428 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
431 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
433 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
434 from the porting effort.
436 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
438 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
439 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
440 (ssl_expr_info is global)
441 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
442 (ssl_expr_error is global)
444 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
446 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
447 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
448 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
449 transactions, and more often if possible."
451 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
453 * CRL callback should be pluggable
455 * session cache store should be pluggable
457 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
459 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
460 to also decrypt proxy keys
462 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
463 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
466 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
467 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
468 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
469 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
470 connection is taken down.
472 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
473 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
475 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
476 a farm of backend servers.
478 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
480 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
482 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
483 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
484 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
485 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
487 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
488 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
489 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
490 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
492 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
493 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
494 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
496 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
498 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
499 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
501 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
503 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
504 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
505 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
506 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
507 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
508 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
511 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
514 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
515 directives (mod_disk_cache: CacheExpiryCheck and GC directives
516 including CacheGc*, CacheSize, and, CacheTimeMargin)
517 (mod_mem_cache: MCacheMaxObjectCount) and
518 (mod_cache: CacheForceCompletion).
520 mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
521 * General stabilization and testing
524 PRs that have been suspended forever waiting for someone to
525 put them into 'the next release':

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