49 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
51 2.0.38: Cliff plans on tagging TONIGHT (6/13/02). Let's get this thing
52 wrapped up (again). Just a few last-minute tussles over the
53 500 vs. 501 thing and whether we're REALLY done with the
54 if (!r->header_only) thing (Cliff thinks we're not), and that
62 * apachectl should revert to just being an init script and
63 httpd.sh should be the wrapper for httpd which sources envvars
64 and allows any options to be passed through
68 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
70 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
72 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
75 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
76 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
77 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
79 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
81 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
82 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
83 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
84 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
85 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
86 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
89 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
90 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS
91 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
92 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
95 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
97 * 500 returned instead of 501 if a handler other than default_handler
98 is invoked on a method with M_INVALID.
99 Message-ID: <20020613001913.J22524@apache.org>
100 Is this a showstopper?
104 * Returning invalid 304 errors when filters are present. [PR 9673]
105 Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061713320.3848-100000@lab26.lacfas.hec.ca>
106 <20020607135121.G19485@apache.org>
107 <20020610204425.B19018@lyra.org>
108 Proposed patch: <20020607214725.K19485@apache.org>
109 Status: We should set r->no_local_copy, but where can we set it?
110 We must set it before the handlers are run so that the
111 appropriate handler can call ap_meets_conditions() before
112 generating the data. Greg has reservations about Justin's
113 proposed patch. Consensus needed.
114 Is this a showstopper?
118 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
120 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
122 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
123 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
126 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
127 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
128 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
130 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
131 Status: Patches proposed
132 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
133 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
135 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
136 work items left to complete)
138 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
139 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
140 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
141 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
143 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
144 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
146 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
147 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
148 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
150 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
151 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
152 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
153 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
154 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
155 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
158 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
159 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
160 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
161 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
162 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
163 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
165 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
166 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
167 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
168 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
169 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
170 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
171 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
173 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
174 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
176 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
177 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
178 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
179 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
180 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
183 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
184 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
185 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
186 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
188 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
190 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
191 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
193 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
194 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
195 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
196 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
197 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
198 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
199 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
200 Not a showstopper: Justin
202 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
204 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
206 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
207 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
208 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
209 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
210 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
211 back when this is fixed. rbb
212 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
213 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
215 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
217 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
218 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
219 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
220 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
221 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
222 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
223 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
224 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
227 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
228 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
229 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
231 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
233 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
234 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
236 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
237 on all platforms and clean up our build system
239 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
240 January that you were going to commit within a few
243 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
244 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
245 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
246 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
247 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
248 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
249 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
250 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
251 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
252 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
253 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
254 allow it conditionally with a directive.
256 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
257 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
258 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
259 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
260 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
261 More examination and analysis is required.
262 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
263 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
265 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
266 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
267 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
268 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
269 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
270 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
271 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
272 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
273 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
274 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
275 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
276 at first the child or children will appear to work
277 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
278 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
279 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
280 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
281 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
282 possible that it is in APR.
284 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
285 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
286 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
287 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
288 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
289 our select() calls and their select() calls.
290 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
291 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
292 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
293 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
294 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
295 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
297 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
298 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
299 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
300 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
301 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
302 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
303 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
304 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
305 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
306 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
307 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
308 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
309 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
311 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
312 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
313 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
314 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
315 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
316 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
317 server-info or server-status.
318 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
320 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
321 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
322 child's-child processes in the parent process.
323 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
324 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
325 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
326 and whack them if the child goes down.
327 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
328 have also been proposed on APR.
330 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
331 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
332 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
333 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
334 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
335 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
336 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
337 argument to the registered fn.
339 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
341 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
344 * Document mod_file_cache.
346 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
347 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
348 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
350 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
351 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
352 duplicates what is in APR.
354 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
355 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
356 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
358 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
360 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
361 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
362 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
363 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
364 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
365 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
366 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
367 do we address the issue above?
370 Some additional items remaining:
371 - case_preserved_filename stuff
372 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
373 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
374 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
376 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
377 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
378 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
379 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
380 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
381 translation has decided to do.
382 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
384 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
385 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
386 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
388 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
390 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
392 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
393 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
395 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
397 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
398 for failure (Doug volunteers)
400 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
401 (at least) needs to be done:
402 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
403 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
404 randomization in APR itself.
405 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
406 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
408 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
409 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
411 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
412 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
413 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
414 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
415 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
418 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
420 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
421 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
422 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
423 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
424 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
425 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
428 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
430 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
431 from the porting effort.
433 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
435 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
436 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
437 (ssl_expr_info is global)
438 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
439 (ssl_expr_error is global)
441 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
443 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
444 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
445 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
446 transactions, and more often if possible."
448 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
451 * CRL callback should be pluggable
453 * session cache store should be pluggable
455 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
457 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
458 to also decrypt proxy keys
460 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
461 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
464 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
465 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
466 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
467 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
468 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
470 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
471 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
472 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
473 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
475 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
477 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
478 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
480 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
482 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
483 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
484 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
485 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
486 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
487 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
490 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
491 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
492 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
493 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
494 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
496 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
499 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
500 inclusion into httpd.conf.
502 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

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

856 likely the one to break it :-)
