47 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
51 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
54 Contributors looking for a mission:
56 * just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
59 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
67 * Adopt backwards compatibility for future Apache 2.0 releases
68 such that MMN changes and eliminating non-experimental modules
69 are deferred for the next minor version bump (e.g. 2.1, 2.2
75 * Defer the Auth module overhaul to the next minor version bump
76 (e.g. 2.1, 2.2, 3.0) on the condition that forward compatibility
77 resolution is adopted.
82 * Adopt an even/odd release paradigm (see VERSIONING) such that
83 even numbered releases are stable, and odd numbered releases
84 are development efforts, keeping in the tradition of Linux,
85 Perl, etc. In pratical terms, this implies C-T-R-T-C, where
86 patches are (generally) first applied to the development branch,
87 tested, and then (after vote) applied to the stable branch.
92 * Branch APACHE_2_0_BRANCH today, changing the version in CVS HEAD
94 +1 [from APACHE_2_0_43]: wrowe
99 * httpd-std.conf and friends
101 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
102 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
103 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe
104 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
106 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
110 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
111 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
112 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
114 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
115 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
117 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
118 usually needs major customizations
120 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
121 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
123 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
124 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
125 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
127 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
129 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
130 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
131 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin, wrowe
132 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
134 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
137 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
138 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker, wrowe
139 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
140 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
143 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
145 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
146 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
147 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
148 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
149 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
150 back when this is fixed.
152 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
153 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
154 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
155 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
156 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
158 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
159 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
160 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
161 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains".
163 * server pushed CGI's not working.
164 This might be an interaction with the above pipes deadlock issue.
166 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
168 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
169 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
170 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
172 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
173 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
176 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
177 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
178 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
179 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
180 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
181 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
182 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
183 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
184 program means nothing.
186 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
187 Status: Patches proposed
188 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
189 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
191 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
192 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
193 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
194 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
196 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
197 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
199 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
200 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
201 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
203 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
204 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
205 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
206 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
207 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
208 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
211 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
212 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
213 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
214 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
215 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
216 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
218 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
219 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
220 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
221 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
222 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
223 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
224 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
226 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
227 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
229 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
230 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
231 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
232 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
233 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
236 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
237 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
238 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
239 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
241 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
243 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
244 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
246 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
247 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
248 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
249 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
250 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
252 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
254 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
255 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
256 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
258 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
259 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
260 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
261 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
262 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
263 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
265 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
266 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
267 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
269 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
271 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
272 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
274 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
275 on all platforms and clean up our build system
277 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
278 January that you were going to commit within a few
281 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
282 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
283 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
284 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
285 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
286 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
287 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
288 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
289 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
290 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
291 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
292 allow it conditionally with a directive.
294 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
295 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
298 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
299 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
300 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
301 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
302 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
303 More examination and analysis is required.
304 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
305 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
307 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
308 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
309 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
310 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
311 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
312 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
313 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
314 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
315 at first the child or children will appear to work
316 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
317 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
318 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
319 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
320 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
321 possible that it is in APR.
323 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
324 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
325 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
326 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
327 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
328 our select() calls and their select() calls.
329 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
330 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
331 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
332 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
333 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
334 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
336 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
337 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
338 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
339 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
340 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
342 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
343 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
344 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
345 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
346 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
347 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
348 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
350 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
351 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
352 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
353 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
354 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
355 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
356 server-info or server-status.
357 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
358 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
359 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
361 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
362 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
363 child's-child processes in the parent process.
364 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
365 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
367 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
368 have also been proposed on APR.
370 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
372 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
375 * Document mod_file_cache.
377 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
378 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
379 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
381 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
382 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
383 duplicates what is in APR.
385 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
386 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
387 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
389 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
391 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
392 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
393 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
394 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
395 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
396 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
397 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
398 do we address the issue above?
401 Some additional items remaining:
402 - case_preserved_filename stuff
403 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
404 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
405 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
407 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
408 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
409 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
410 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
411 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
412 translation has decided to do.
413 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
415 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
416 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
417 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
419 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
421 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
423 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
424 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
426 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
428 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
429 for failure (Doug volunteers)
431 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
432 (at least) needs to be done:
433 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
434 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
435 randomization in APR itself.
436 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
437 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
439 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
440 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
442 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
443 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
444 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
445 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
446 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
449 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
451 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
452 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
453 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
454 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
455 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
456 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
459 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
461 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
462 from the porting effort.
464 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
466 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
467 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
468 (ssl_expr_info is global)
469 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
470 (ssl_expr_error is global)
472 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
474 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
475 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
476 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
477 transactions, and more often if possible."
479 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
481 * CRL callback should be pluggable
483 * session cache store should be pluggable
485 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
487 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
488 to also decrypt proxy keys
490 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
491 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
494 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
496 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
497 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
498 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
499 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
501 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
502 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
503 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
504 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
506 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
508 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
509 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
511 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
513 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
514 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
515 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
516 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
517 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
518 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
521 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
524 * mod_mem_cache fd caching is broken on Unix. The cached fd cannot
525 be used across multiple threads except for use on sendfile().
527 mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
529 * implement cross-platform/cross-library TLS support

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