44 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
48 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
52 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
57 * apr_poll() grows the pool (e.g., pchild or the thread's pool) on
58 each call... Apache MPMs don't have logic to work around this
63 * httpd-std.conf and friends
65 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
66 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
67 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
69 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
73 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
74 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
75 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
77 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
78 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
80 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
81 usually needs major customizations
84 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
86 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
88 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
91 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
92 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
93 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
95 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
97 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
98 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
99 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
100 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
101 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
102 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
105 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
106 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker
107 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
108 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
111 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
113 * Performance problems in the content-length filter:
114 - In many situations, the C-L filter sets aside buckets
115 until it sees EOS. Setting aside file buckets is bad
116 because it requires an mmap+memcpy+munmap.
117 - In addition, the C-L filter reads and buffers all the
118 content from a pipe bucket.
120 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
121 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
122 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
123 Is this a showstopper?
127 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
129 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
131 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
132 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
135 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
136 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
137 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
138 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
139 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
140 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
141 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
142 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
143 program means nothing.
145 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
146 Status: Patches proposed
147 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
148 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
150 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
151 work items left to complete)
153 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
154 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
155 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
156 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
158 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
159 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
161 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
162 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
163 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
165 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
166 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
167 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
168 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
169 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
170 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
173 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
174 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
175 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
176 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
177 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
178 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
180 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
181 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
182 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
183 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
184 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
185 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
186 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
188 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
189 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
191 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
192 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
193 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
194 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
195 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
198 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
199 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
200 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
201 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
203 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
205 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
206 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
208 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
209 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
210 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
211 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
212 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
213 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
214 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
215 Not a showstopper: Justin
217 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
219 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
220 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
221 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
223 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
224 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
225 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
226 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
227 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
228 back when this is fixed. rbb
229 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
230 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
232 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
234 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
235 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
236 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
237 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
238 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
239 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
240 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
241 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
244 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
245 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
246 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
248 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
250 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
251 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
253 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
254 on all platforms and clean up our build system
256 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
257 January that you were going to commit within a few
260 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
261 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
262 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
263 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
264 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
265 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
266 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
267 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
268 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
269 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
270 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
271 allow it conditionally with a directive.
273 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
274 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
275 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
276 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
277 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
278 More examination and analysis is required.
279 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
280 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
282 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
283 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
284 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
285 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
286 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
287 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
288 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
289 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
290 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
291 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
292 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
293 at first the child or children will appear to work
294 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
295 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
296 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
297 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
298 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
299 possible that it is in APR.
301 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
302 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
303 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
304 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
305 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
306 our select() calls and their select() calls.
307 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
308 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
309 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
310 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
311 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
312 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
314 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
315 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
316 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
317 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
318 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
319 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
320 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
321 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
322 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
323 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
324 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
325 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
326 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
328 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
329 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
330 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
331 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
332 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
333 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
334 server-info or server-status.
335 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
336 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
337 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
340 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
341 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
342 child's-child processes in the parent process.
343 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
344 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
345 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
346 and whack them if the child goes down.
347 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
348 have also been proposed on APR.
350 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
351 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
352 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
353 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
354 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
355 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
356 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
357 argument to the registered fn.
359 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
361 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
364 * Document mod_file_cache.
366 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
367 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
368 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
370 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
371 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
372 duplicates what is in APR.
374 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
375 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
376 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
378 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
380 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
381 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
382 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
383 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
384 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
385 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
386 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
387 do we address the issue above?
390 Some additional items remaining:
391 - case_preserved_filename stuff
392 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
393 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
394 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
396 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
397 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
398 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
399 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
400 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
401 translation has decided to do.
402 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
404 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
405 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
406 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
408 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
410 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
412 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
413 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
415 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
417 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
418 for failure (Doug volunteers)
420 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
421 (at least) needs to be done:
422 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
423 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
424 randomization in APR itself.
425 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
426 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
428 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
429 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
431 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
432 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
433 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
434 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
435 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
438 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
440 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
441 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
442 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
443 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
444 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
445 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
448 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
450 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
451 from the porting effort.
453 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
455 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
456 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
457 (ssl_expr_info is global)
458 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
459 (ssl_expr_error is global)
461 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
463 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
464 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
465 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
466 transactions, and more often if possible."
468 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
470 * CRL callback should be pluggable
472 * session cache store should be pluggable
474 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
476 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
477 to also decrypt proxy keys
479 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
480 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
483 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
485 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
486 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
487 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
488 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
490 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
492 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
493 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
494 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
496 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
498 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
499 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
501 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
503 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
504 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
505 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
506 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
507 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
508 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
511 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
512 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
513 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
514 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
515 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
517 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
520 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
521 inclusion into httpd.conf.
523 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

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