48 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
50 * 37 status: Cliff tagged JCW_PRE2_2037 on Wednesday. Some
51 showstoppers remain, so there will be a PRE3 as well, probably
52 Friday. Just wanted an intermediate milestone.
56 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
57 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
61 * Win32: httpd won't start. There was a command line args problem
62 that got fixed, but now something else is wrong.
63 Status: one problem here might be a "" argument being returned from
64 the rewrite_args hook getting caught by Jeff's patch to check

77 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
79 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
83 * apachectl should revert to just being an init script and
84 httpd.sh should be the wrapper for httpd which sources envvars
85 and allows any options to be passed through
89 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise

93 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
96 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
97 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
98 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

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

864 [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
865 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
866 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
869 AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument
870 instead of only 'None'
873 Other bugs that need fixing:
875 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
876 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
878 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
879 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
880 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
882 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
883 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
884 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
886 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
887 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
888 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
890 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
891 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
892 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
894 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
895 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
896 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
897 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
898 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
899 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
900 Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
901 likely the one to break it :-)
