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:
29 * Handling of non-trailing / config by non-default handler is broken
30 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105451701628081&w=2
32 * the edge connection filter cannot be removed
33 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105366252619530&w=2
37 * Promote mod_cache from experimental to non-experimental
38 status (keep issues noted below in EXPERIMENTAL MODULES as
39 items to be addressed as a supported module).
43 There are a couple of problems that need to be resolved
44 before this module is moved out of experimental.
45 1) We need to at least review and comment on the RFC violations
46 2) Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps -if- we
47 want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
48 will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
49 requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
50 CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
51 filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
52 effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
53 (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
54 CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
55 work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
56 the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
57 mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
58 line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
59 performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
62 jerenkrantz: There are a slew of RFC compliance bugs filed in Bugzilla
63 for mod_cache (see 'RFC 2616 violations' below). I think
64 fixing them is a pre-requisite before it isn't experimental.
66 * httpd-std.conf and friends
68 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
69 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
70 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,
72 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
74 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
78 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
79 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
80 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
82 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
83 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
84 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
85 usually needs major customizations
86 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
87 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
88 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
89 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
90 with the required inline docs to explain the
93 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
94 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
95 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
97 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
99 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin, Lars
100 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
101 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, jim, Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
103 /* The below was a concept on *how* to handle the problem */
104 Have 2 parents: +1: jim
105 -1: Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
106 +0: Lars, Martin (while standing by, could it do
109 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
110 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker, wrowe, nd
111 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
112 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing), rederpj, jim
115 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
117 * Patches submitted to the bug database:
118 http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2.0&keywords=PatchAvailable
120 * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
121 There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
122 (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
123 nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
124 subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
125 - swallow EOS buckets
126 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
127 filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
129 Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
130 it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
132 * RFC 2616 violations.
134 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
135 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
136 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
137 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
138 if these rise to showstopper status.
139 wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
140 out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
142 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
143 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
144 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
145 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
146 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
147 back when this is fixed.
149 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
150 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
151 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
152 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
153 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
155 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
156 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
157 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
158 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
160 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
161 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
162 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
164 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
165 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
168 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
169 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
170 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
171 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
172 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
173 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
174 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
175 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
176 program means nothing.
178 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
179 Status: Patches proposed
180 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
181 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
183 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
184 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
185 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
186 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
188 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
189 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
191 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
192 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
193 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
195 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
196 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
197 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
198 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
199 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
200 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
203 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
204 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
205 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
206 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
207 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
208 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
210 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
211 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
212 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
213 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
214 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
215 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
216 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
218 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
219 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
220 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
221 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
222 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
225 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
226 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
228 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
229 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
230 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
231 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
232 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
234 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
236 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
237 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
238 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
240 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
241 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
242 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
243 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
244 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
245 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
247 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
248 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
249 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
251 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
253 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
254 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
256 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
257 on all platforms and clean up our build system
259 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
260 January that you were going to commit within a few
263 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
264 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
265 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
266 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
267 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
268 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
269 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
270 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
271 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
272 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
273 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
274 allow it conditionally with a directive.
276 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
277 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
280 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
281 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
282 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
283 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
284 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
285 More examination and analysis is required.
286 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
287 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
288 FreeBSD 5.2-RC is a confirmed fix w/either libkse or libthr.
289 [libc_r, still the default, does not serve any pages w/worker;
290 so on FreeBSD 5.2, you must use libmap.conf (see man page).]
291 Work needs to be done to get APR to try to be knowledgable that
292 libkse/libthr are acceptable. Still not recommended for the
293 default since libc_r is still broken.
294 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
296 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
297 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
298 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
299 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
300 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
302 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
303 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
304 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
305 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
306 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
307 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
308 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
310 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
311 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
312 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
313 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
314 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
315 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
316 server-info or server-status.
317 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
318 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
319 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
321 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
322 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
323 child's-child processes in the parent process.
324 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
325 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
327 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
328 have also been proposed on APR.
330 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
332 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
335 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
336 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
337 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
339 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
340 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
341 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
343 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
345 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
346 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
347 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
348 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
349 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
350 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
351 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
352 do we address the issue above?
355 Some additional items remaining:
356 - case_preserved_filename stuff
357 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
358 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
359 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
361 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
362 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
363 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
364 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
365 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
366 translation has decided to do.
367 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
369 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
370 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
371 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
373 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
375 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
377 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
378 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
380 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
382 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
383 for failure (Doug volunteers)
385 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
386 (at least) needs to be done:
387 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
388 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
389 randomization in APR itself.
390 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
391 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
393 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
394 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
396 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
397 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
398 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
399 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
400 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
403 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
404 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
406 * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
407 or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
408 httpd-config or similar arrangement.
409 To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
411 thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
412 tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
413 query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
414 the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
415 gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
417 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
419 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
420 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
421 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
422 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
423 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
424 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
427 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
429 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
430 from the porting effort.
432 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
434 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
435 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
436 (ssl_expr_info is global)
437 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
438 (ssl_expr_error is global)
440 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
442 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
443 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
444 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
445 transactions, and more often if possible."
447 * 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 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
463 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
464 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
465 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
466 connection is taken down.
468 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
469 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
471 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
472 a farm of backend servers.
474 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
476 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
478 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
479 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
480 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
481 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
483 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
484 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
485 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
486 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
488 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
489 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
490 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
492 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
494 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
495 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
497 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
499 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
500 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
501 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
502 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
503 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
504 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
507 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
510 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
511 directives (mod_disk_cache: CacheExpiryCheck and GC directives
512 including CacheGc*, CacheSize, and, CacheTimeMargin)
513 (mod_mem_cache: MCacheMaxObjectCount) and
514 (mod_cache: CacheForceCompletion).
516 mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
517 * General stabilization and testing

521 put them into 'the next release':

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