36 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
40 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
44 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
46 * 33 status: tag on 3/7/2002? Ideally, this release should have all
47 showstoppers removed. Are we dreaming? Can the horde
48 of developers actually focus on removing them in a week?
49 (Note: Win32 had its .32 yanked due to a mmap() bug.)
51 FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
53 * All ap_internal_fast_redirect()ed requests are losing their filters
54 and output headers. mod_negotiation derived Multiviewed documents
55 and mod_dir DirectoryIndex documents both demonstrate this behavior.
57 cf reply: <007c01c1b3d1$46714650$94c0b0d0@v505>
58 to thread: <200202121332.IAA27467@web.turner.com>
60 Ditch fast_redirect, it was bogus in 1.3 and it's bogus now.
61 In Agreement? : Justin, Aaron
62 Fix [and *Maintain*] fast_redirect, it was useful to our redirects
63 in negotiation and dir, and it's useful to 3rd parties.
66 * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
67 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
68 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
69 authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
70 the security and robustness of 2.0.
71 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
72 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
73 we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
74 and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
75 internal processing phase from the run request phase.
77 * We need to find out the right place to add the AddOutputFilterByType
78 directive. mod_mime? No. core with fixups? That's what it is now.
79 ap_pass_brigade() hook? As a filter that runs at HTTP_HEADER stage?
80 This needs to be resolved before the next public release.
81 Message-ID: <018701c1b99c$f0f24310$0a01230a@KOJ>
83 * API changes planned for 2.0 that should happen before the
85 * Free lists for bucket allocation
86 * Pool allocator change
88 * Graceful restart is broken in the worker MPM.
89 Message-ID: <m3g03tnrkv.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
90 Justin asks: "Is this fixed? I can't reproduce now."
91 Jeff: Here are some problems that remain now that the segfault
93 1) accept mutex gets cleaned up before children are gone; with
94 some types (sysvsem), this causes immediate failure in a
95 thread blocked in the accept mutex; that thread will exit(),
96 presumably taking with it any active connections owned by other
97 threads in the process
98 2) even without accept mutex (1 listening socket), I see some
99 evidence of a child exiting prematurely (dropped connections)
101 * Address popular PRs
102 * Win32 doesn't install as service correctly [9863, 9914, 9961]
106 * Should we always build binaries statically unless otherwise
108 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
113 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
114 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
115 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
117 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
119 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
120 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
121 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
122 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
124 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
127 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
128 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff
129 -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars
131 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
133 * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
135 Status: Aaron has converted all but the perchild MPM to
136 use the new lock API. Since perchild has been put
137 on the back burner, this is no longer a showstopper.
138 Aaron will patch perchild as soon as it becomes
141 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
142 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
143 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
144 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
145 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
148 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
149 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
150 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
151 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
153 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
155 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
156 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
158 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
159 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
160 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
161 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
162 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
163 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
164 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
165 Not a showstopper: Justin
167 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
169 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
171 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
172 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
173 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
174 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
175 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
176 back when this is fixed. rbb
177 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
178 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
180 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
182 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
183 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
184 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
185 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
186 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
187 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
188 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
189 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
192 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
193 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
194 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
196 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
198 * Recent changes to ap_rgetline may have broken EBCDIC boxes.
199 Message-ID: <20020122072605.GF28051@ebuilt.com>
200 Justin says: "I don't have an EBCDIC box to test on. A potential
201 solution is to split out ap_rgetline into two
202 functions as described in this message."
203 gregames says: I see the breakage now, and volunteer to fix it
204 when things calm down a little. It looks OK when
205 there are complete lines and no mime continuations.
207 * CGI single-byte reads
208 BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
209 routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
210 of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
212 Proposed solution in:
213 Message-ID: <3C36ADAF.60601@cnet.com>
215 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
216 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
218 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
219 on all platforms and clean up our build system
221 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
222 January that you were going to commit within a few
225 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
226 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
227 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
228 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
229 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
230 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
231 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
232 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
233 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
234 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
235 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
236 allow it conditionally with a directive.
238 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
239 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
240 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
241 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
242 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
243 More examination and analysis is required.
244 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
245 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
247 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
248 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
249 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
250 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
251 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
252 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
253 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
254 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
255 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
256 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
257 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
258 at first the child or children will appear to work
259 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
260 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
261 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
262 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
263 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
264 possible that it is in APR.
266 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
267 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
268 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
269 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
270 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
271 our select() calls and their select() calls.
272 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
273 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
274 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
275 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
276 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
277 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
279 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
280 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
281 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
282 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
283 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
284 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
285 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
286 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
287 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
288 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
289 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
290 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
291 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
293 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
294 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
295 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
296 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
297 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
298 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
299 server-info or server-status.
300 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
302 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
303 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
304 child's-child processes in the parent process.
305 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
306 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
307 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
308 and whack them if the child goes down.
310 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
311 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
312 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
313 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
315 * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
317 The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
318 remaining work includes:
319 (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
320 (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
321 (3) Enabling SSL extentions
322 (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
323 This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
324 filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
325 Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
326 Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
327 am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
328 shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
329 treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
330 also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
331 decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
333 * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
334 malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
335 light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
336 memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
337 longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
338 bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
339 not a hard requirement.
341 Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
342 been discussed at length for months, but since
343 SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
344 several people expressed the opinion that we should
345 get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
346 need their own memory management (free list) functions.
347 Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
348 have something to look at/compare with.
350 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
351 Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue
354 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
357 * Document mod_file_cache.
359 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
360 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
361 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
363 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
364 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
365 duplicates what is in APR.
367 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
368 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
369 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
371 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
373 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
374 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
375 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
376 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
377 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
378 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
379 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
380 do we address the issue above?
383 Some additional items remaining:
384 - case_preserved_filename stuff
385 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
386 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
387 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
389 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
390 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
391 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
392 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
393 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
394 translation has decided to do.
395 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
397 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
398 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
399 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
401 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
403 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
405 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
406 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
408 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
410 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
411 for failure (Doug volunteers)
413 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
414 (at least) needs to be done:
415 - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
416 specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
417 - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
418 is not available on 95/98.
419 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
420 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
421 randomization in APR itself.
422 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
423 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
425 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
426 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
427 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
428 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
429 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
430 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
433 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
434 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

721 mailto tags and bundling bug report script
725 Support for System Resource Controller
729 When will Apache support P3P? Any Plans?
733 Feedback/Comment on APACI
737 Inclusion of RPM spec file in CVS/distributions
741 Propose that Apache recommend $UNIQUE_ID for all "session id"
746 suggestion: power up your Include directive :)
750 cannot limit some HTTP methods
753 * PR#3143: apache-api
754 No module specific data hook for per-connection data
757 * PR#3191: mod_negotiation
758 no way to set global quality-of-source (qs) coneg values
763 Accessing URL through proxy server corrupts data.
767 Some anonymous FTP URLs ask for authentication

784 * PR#4448: mod_log-any

789 * PR#4459: mod_include
790 Suggestion for better handling of Last-modified headers
794 mod_cgi prevents handling of OPTIONS requests
797 * PR#5713: os-windows
798 [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
799 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
800 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
803 AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument
804 instead of only 'None'
807 Other bugs that need fixing:
809 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
810 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
811 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
813 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
814 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
815 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
817 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
818 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
819 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
821 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
822 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
823 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
825 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
826 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
827 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
828 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
829 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
830 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
831 Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
832 likely the one to break it :-)
834 Other features that need writing:
836 * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
839 * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
843 * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
844 issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>
845 Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished
846 so that we know exactly what is required.
848 * Martin Sojka <msojka@gmx.de>'s patch to add error reporting for failed
849 htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
854 * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
856 Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
859 * Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and
860 other small mod_usertrack features
862 * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
863 of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in
868 * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
