47 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
51 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
54 Contributors looking for a mission:
56 * just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
59 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
67 * Adopt backwards compatibility for future Apache 2.0 releases
68 such that MMN changes and eliminating non-experimental modules
69 are deferred for the next minor version bump (e.g. 2.1, 2.2
75 * Defer the Auth module overhaul to the next minor version bump
76 (e.g. 2.1, 2.2, 3.0) on the condition that forward compatibility
77 resolution is adopted.
82 * Adopt an even/odd release paradigm (see VERSIONING) such that
83 even numbered releases are stable, and odd numbered releases
84 are development efforts, keeping in the tradition of Linux,
85 Perl, etc. In pratical terms, this implies C-T-R-T-C, where
86 patches are (generally) first applied to the development branch,
87 tested, and then (after vote) applied to the stable branch.
92 * Branch APACHE_2_0_BRANCH today, changing the version in CVS HEAD
94 +1 [from APACHE_2_0_43]: wrowe
99 * httpd-std.conf and friends
101 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
102 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
103 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
105 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
109 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
110 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
111 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
113 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
114 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
116 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
117 usually needs major customizations
120 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
121 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
122 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

136 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
137 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
140 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
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".
160 * server pushed CGI's not working.
161 This might be an interaction with the above pipes deadlock issue.
163 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
165 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
166 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
167 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
169 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
170 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
173 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
174 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
175 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
176 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
177 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
178 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
179 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
180 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
181 program means nothing.
183 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
184 Status: Patches proposed
185 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
186 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
188 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
189 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
190 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
191 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
193 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
194 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
196 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
197 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
198 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
200 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
201 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
202 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
203 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
204 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
205 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
208 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
209 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
210 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
211 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
212 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
213 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
215 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
216 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
217 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
218 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
219 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
220 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
221 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
223 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
224 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
226 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
227 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
228 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
229 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
230 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
233 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
234 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
235 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
236 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
238 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
240 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
241 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
243 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
244 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
245 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
246 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
247 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
249 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
251 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
252 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
253 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
255 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
256 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
257 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
258 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
259 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
260 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
262 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
263 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
264 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
266 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
268 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
269 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
271 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
272 on all platforms and clean up our build system
274 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
275 January that you were going to commit within a few
278 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
279 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
280 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
281 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
282 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
283 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
284 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
285 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
286 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
287 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
288 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
289 allow it conditionally with a directive.
291 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
292 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
295 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
296 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
297 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
298 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
299 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
300 More examination and analysis is required.
301 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
302 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
304 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
305 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
306 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
307 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
308 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
309 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
310 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
311 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
312 at first the child or children will appear to work
313 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
314 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
315 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
316 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
317 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
318 possible that it is in APR.
320 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
321 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
322 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
323 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
324 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
325 our select() calls and their select() calls.
326 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
327 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
328 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
329 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
330 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
331 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
333 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
334 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
335 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
336 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
337 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
339 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
340 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
341 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
342 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
343 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
344 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
345 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
347 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
348 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
349 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
350 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
351 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
352 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
353 server-info or server-status.
354 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
355 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
356 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
358 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
359 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
360 child's-child processes in the parent process.
361 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
362 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
364 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
365 have also been proposed on APR.
367 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
369 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
372 * Document mod_file_cache.
374 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
375 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
376 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
378 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
379 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
380 duplicates what is in APR.
382 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
383 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
384 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
386 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
388 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
389 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
390 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
391 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
392 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
393 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
394 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
395 do we address the issue above?
398 Some additional items remaining:
399 - case_preserved_filename stuff
400 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
401 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
402 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
404 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
405 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
406 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
407 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
408 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
409 translation has decided to do.
410 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
412 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
413 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
414 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
416 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
418 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
420 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
421 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
423 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
425 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
426 for failure (Doug volunteers)
428 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
429 (at least) needs to be done:
430 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
431 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
432 randomization in APR itself.
433 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
434 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
436 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
437 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
439 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
440 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
441 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
442 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
443 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
446 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
448 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
449 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
450 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
451 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
452 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
453 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
456 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
458 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
459 from the porting effort.
461 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
463 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
464 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
465 (ssl_expr_info is global)
466 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
467 (ssl_expr_error is global)
469 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
471 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
472 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
473 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
474 transactions, and more often if possible."
476 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
478 * CRL callback should be pluggable
480 * session cache store should be pluggable
482 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
484 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
485 to also decrypt proxy keys
487 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
488 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
491 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
493 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
494 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
495 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
496 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
498 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
499 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
500 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
501 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
503 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
505 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
506 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
508 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
510 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
511 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
512 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
513 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
514 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
515 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
518 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
521 * mod_mem_cache fd caching is broken on Unix. The cached fd cannot
522 be used across multiple threads except for use on sendfile().

526 * implement cross-platform/cross-library TLS support

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