81 Contributors looking for a mission:
83 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
85 * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
87 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database:
89 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable
91 After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
93 * Open bugs in the bug database.
95 * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items.
98 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
100 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
101 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
102 only be made in the trunk.
104 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
105 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
106 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
108 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
113 . non-Unix, single-platform code
115 RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
118 PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
119 [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ]
121 *) mod_md: backport of mod_ssl changes to get interworking ACME support. Needs mod_md backport propoals above to
122 find mod_md.h include file with otional functions.
123 trunk revisions: 1804530,1804531,1805186,1806939,1807232,1808122

125 +1: icing, jorton, jim
126 [niq: I was about to backport along with the mod_proxy_html accepted
127 patch, but I see this is on hold pending mod_md.h]
130 PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:
131 [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ]
133 *) mod_proxy, mod_ssl: Handle SSLProxy* directives in <Proxy> sections,

144 2.4.x patch: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/patches/2.4.x/httpd-2.4.x-r1740928_and_co-v6.patch
146 ylavic: Changed to v5 (+r1812193) which hopefully should address compat
148 icing: builds and runs fine in my tests. However I do not have <Proxy> specific
149 setups to check that all config commands apply properly. Otherwise, looks
150 backward compatible to me.
151 ylavic: Argh, update to v6 since v5 partially reverted r1747069 (which was
152 a later change than the original proposal). Here is v5 vs v6 diff:
153 http://home.apache.org/~ylavic/patches/httpd-2.4.x-r1740928_and_co-v5_vs_v6.diff
154 Not really related to the functionality of this proposal, so I

175 http://home.apache.org/~jim/patches/RemoteIPProxyProtocol.2.4-v2.patch
176 http://svn.apache.org/r1818279
178 ylavic: RemoteIPProxyProtocol* are documented as scoped to server config
179 and virtual host, though using ap_server_conf makes them global
180 only (thus less useful too...).
182 *) core/mod_ssl: Add new flag int to module struct. Define first bit for keeping
183 server config records non-shared instances, set for mod_ssl to make manipulations

187 (merge with alterations for mmn etc., updated after review by Yann)
189 niq: Can someone post a pointer to discussion of this on dev list?

263 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE BEING WORKED
264 [ New entries should be added at the START of the list ]
266 *) mod_ssl: Return 502 instead of 500 when SSL peer check or
267 proxy_post_handshake hook fails.
268 Trunk patch: r1645529 (works)
269 2.4.x patch which adds CHANGES: https://emptyhammock.com/media/downloads/r1645529-to-2.4.x.txt
271 ylavic: there may be missing bits, see thread for commit r1736510.
273 *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming
274 from a (F)CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch.
275 Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements
276 and violations of the RFC.

285 2.4.x: trunk patches work, final view:
286 http://home.apache.org/~elukey/httpd-2.4.x-core-last_modified_tz_logging.patch
287 The problem has been discussed in dev@ extensively but we did not reach a common
288 agreement about how to proceed in the long term. While we wait, I would really like
289 to introduce useful logs for the users (the starting point of this change was a users@
290 email thread). If this is not the right way to go I will move the patch to other
291 sections of STATUS (stalled or being worked).
292 The code has been tested with a simple PHP script returning different Last-Modified
293 headers (GMT now, GMT now Europe/Paris, GMT tomorrow, GMT yesterday, PST now).
296 *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if
297 it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous
298 behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting
299 the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which
300 comes for free with the same commit).
301 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303
302 http://svn.apache.org/r1678215
303 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch
305 ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two
306 ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge
307 does a minor bump only.
308 minfrin: Two new directives need to be documented.
310 * mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
311 fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
312 to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
313 backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
314 Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
315 flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920.
316 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1656259
317 http://svn.apache.org/r1656359 (CHANGES entry)
318 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags)
320 -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an
321 error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is
322 expensive, and is always done, even before we know that
323 the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the
324 error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus
325 it seems to allow for a DDoS vector).
326 ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the
327 connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the
328 client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch
329 these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any
330 difference (more cycles) compared with the current code.
331 However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when
332 the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this.
333 Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just
334 make it nonblocking (by default)?
335 jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle...
337 * mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs
338 to the DAV response. Requires a release of apr-util v1.6.
339 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748322
340 2.4.x: trunk works modulo CHANGES/MMN
342 rpluem asks: Will this compile with apr-util < v1.6 and keep
343 mod_dav working (without the new features of the patch of course)?
344 I doubt that we will require apr-util 1.6 for the lifetime of 2.4.x
345 (see the discussion around ap_cstr_casecmp[n] an apr 1.6)
346 minfrin: Yes, as you can see in the patch everything applies only
347 if APR_XML_X2T_PARSED is defined, and the patch was tested with
348 both apr-util v1.6 and apr-util v1.5.
349 -1: jorton, breaks binary backwards compat per dev@ discuss
350 msgid <20160902120654.GA12674@redhat.com>
351 (& also, making the structure change with apr-util version
352 means it breaks binary compat across an apr-util upgrade?)
354 * Support PCRE2 (10.x) in place of PCRE (8.x).

361 http://svn.apache.org/r1773870
362 http://svn.apache.org/r1773882
363 wrowe notes that the current code is too inefficient, owing to the fact
364 that the ovector is a required allocation and is no longer allocated on
365 the stack, by design. The correct fix is an apr userdata allocation on
366 the appropriate pool, which would be thread-safe, but the actual API of
367 ap_regexec[_len]() offers us no pool. We cannot associate that pool with
368 the ap_regex_t, because a single regex may be used by many threads in
369 parallel and is not thread-safe beyond initialization.
370 So the only fix allowing us to use PCRE 10 in httpd 2.4 would be to write
371 this as a thread safe storage buffer for the majority of cases (<10 $args)
372 and we don't have a portable tls mechanism to do so.
375 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
377 * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This
378 backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds
379 API to allow other modules to be used for error logging.

391 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-errorlog_provider.patch
393 +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders,
394 needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual)
395 trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writing to syslog */"
396 (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely)
397 jim: What is the status of this??
399 * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch
400 and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers
401 with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers
402 in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not
403 matched and used for request. PR 43513.

405 http://svn.apache.org/r1609688
406 http://svn.apache.org/r1641381
407 ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call).
408 Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset.
409 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch
411 -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function
412 really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences?
413 Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline?
415 * core: Add support for systemd socket activation.

425 * mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
426 504 Gateway Timeout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway
427 trunk patch: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1480058
428 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works modulo CHANGES
430 -1: rpluem: This change is still disputed. See
431 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201305.mbox/%3C1B16B9E3-87BA-4EEF-939C-7C7313B54714%40gbiv.com%3E
433 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
434 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
435 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.

440 fuankg: on hold until we agree for a better and more simple solution ...
442 * Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target.
443 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
444 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

451 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
452 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
453 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
454 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
455 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
456 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
457 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
458 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
459 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
460 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
461 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
462 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
463 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
464 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
465 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
466 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
467 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
468 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
469 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
470 of described indirectly in a sample?
471 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
472 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
473 existing ones and I'll be satisfied that enough people
474 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
475 real httpd usability problem.)
476 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
477 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
478 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
479 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
480 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
481 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
484 *) mod_journald: Add new module mod_journald to log error logs into journald.

488 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch
489 http://svn.apache.org/r1812339
491 jchampion: Looks like the headers require GCC extensions to compile, so
492 mod_journald can't be configured in maintainer mode (-std=c89).
493 Can anyone else reproduce, or is it just my distro?
494 ylavic: missing r1812339 for maintainer-mode/c89/-Werror compliance,
495 needed if the above configure.in proposal gets backported.
496 Note that r1812339 could be backported in any case, even if
497 the above configure.in proposal does not get accepted.
499 * mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.

510 sf comments: The IdleShutdown logic seems broken. Consider a single
511 active connection that is stalled for 10 seconds. That
512 connection will be broken after GracefulShutdownTimeout.
513 A better logic would be to check if there is any open
514 connection that is not in keep-alive state.
