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 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
98 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
99 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
100 Is this a showstopper?
104 * 500 returned instead of 501 if a handler other than default_handler
105 is invoked on a method with M_INVALID.
106 Message-ID: <20020613001913.J22524@apache.org>
107 Proposed patch: <20020613111913.S22524@apache.org>
108 Is this a showstopper?
112 * Returning invalid 304 errors when filters are present. [PR 9673]
113 Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061713320.3848-100000@lab26.lacfas.hec.ca>
114 <20020607135121.G19485@apache.org>
115 <20020610204425.B19018@lyra.org>
116 Proposed patch: <20020607214725.K19485@apache.org>
117 Status: We should set r->no_local_copy, but where can we set it?
118 We must set it before the handlers are run so that the
119 appropriate handler can call ap_meets_conditions() before
120 generating the data. Greg has reservations about Justin's
121 proposed patch. Consensus needed.
122 Is this a showstopper?
126 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
128 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
130 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
131 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
134 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
135 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
136 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
138 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
139 Status: Patches proposed
140 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
141 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
143 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
144 work items left to complete)
146 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
147 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
148 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
149 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
151 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
152 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
154 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
155 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
156 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
158 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
159 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
160 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
161 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
162 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
163 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
166 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
167 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
168 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
169 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
170 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
171 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
173 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
174 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
175 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
176 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
177 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
178 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
179 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
181 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
182 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
184 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
185 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
186 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
187 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
188 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
191 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
192 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
193 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
194 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
196 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
198 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
199 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
201 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
202 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
203 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
204 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
205 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
206 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
207 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
208 Not a showstopper: Justin
210 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
212 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
214 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
215 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
216 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
217 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
218 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
219 back when this is fixed. rbb
220 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
221 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
223 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
225 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
226 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
227 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
228 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
229 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
230 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
231 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
232 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
235 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
236 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
237 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
239 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
241 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
242 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
244 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
245 on all platforms and clean up our build system
247 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
248 January that you were going to commit within a few
251 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
252 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
253 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
254 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
255 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
256 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
257 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
258 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
259 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
260 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
261 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
262 allow it conditionally with a directive.
264 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
265 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
266 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
267 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
268 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
269 More examination and analysis is required.
270 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
271 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
273 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
274 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
275 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
276 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
277 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
278 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
279 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
280 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
281 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
282 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
283 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
284 at first the child or children will appear to work
285 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
286 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
287 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
288 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
289 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
290 possible that it is in APR.
292 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
293 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
294 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
295 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
296 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
297 our select() calls and their select() calls.
298 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
299 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
300 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
301 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
302 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
303 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
305 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
306 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
307 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
308 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
309 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
310 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
311 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
312 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
313 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
314 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
315 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
316 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
317 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
319 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
320 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
321 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
322 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
323 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
324 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
325 server-info or server-status.
326 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
328 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
329 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
330 child's-child processes in the parent process.
331 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
332 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
333 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
334 and whack them if the child goes down.
335 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
336 have also been proposed on APR.
338 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
339 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
340 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
341 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
342 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
343 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
344 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
345 argument to the registered fn.
347 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
349 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
352 * Document mod_file_cache.
354 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
355 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
356 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
358 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
359 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
360 duplicates what is in APR.
362 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
363 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
364 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
366 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
368 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
369 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
370 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
371 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
372 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
373 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
374 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
375 do we address the issue above?
378 Some additional items remaining:
379 - case_preserved_filename stuff
380 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
381 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
382 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
384 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
385 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
386 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
387 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
388 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
389 translation has decided to do.
390 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
392 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
393 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
394 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
396 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
398 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
400 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
401 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
403 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
405 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
406 for failure (Doug volunteers)
408 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
409 (at least) needs to be done:
410 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
411 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
412 randomization in APR itself.
413 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
414 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
416 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
417 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
419 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
420 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
421 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
422 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
423 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
426 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
428 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
429 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
430 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
431 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
432 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
433 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
436 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
438 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
439 from the porting effort.
441 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
443 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
444 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
445 (ssl_expr_info is global)
446 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
447 (ssl_expr_error is global)
449 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
451 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
452 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
453 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
454 transactions, and more often if possible."
456 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
459 * CRL callback should be pluggable
461 * session cache store should be pluggable
463 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
465 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
466 to also decrypt proxy keys
468 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
469 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
472 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
473 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
474 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
475 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
476 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
478 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
479 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
480 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
481 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
483 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
485 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
486 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
488 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
490 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
491 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
492 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
493 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
494 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
495 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
498 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
499 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
500 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
501 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
502 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
504 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
507 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
508 inclusion into httpd.conf.
510 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

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

864 likely the one to break it :-)
