45 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
49 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
53 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
61 * httpd-std.conf and friends
63 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
64 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
65 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
67 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
71 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
72 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
73 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
75 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
76 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
78 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
79 usually needs major customizations
82 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
84 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
86 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
89 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
90 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
91 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
93 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
95 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
96 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
97 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
98 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
99 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
100 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
103 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
104 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker
105 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
106 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
109 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
111 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
112 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
113 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
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.
129 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
130 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
131 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
132 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
133 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
134 program means nothing.
136 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
137 Status: Patches proposed
138 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
139 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
141 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
142 work items left to complete)
144 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
145 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
146 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
147 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
149 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
150 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
152 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
153 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
154 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
156 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
157 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
158 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
159 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
160 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
161 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
164 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
165 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
166 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
167 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
168 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
169 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
171 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
172 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
173 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
174 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
175 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
176 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
177 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
179 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
180 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
182 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
183 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
184 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
185 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
186 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
189 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
190 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
191 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
192 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
194 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
196 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
197 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
199 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
200 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
201 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
202 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
203 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
204 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
205 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
206 Not a showstopper: Justin
208 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
210 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
211 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
212 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
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.
327 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
328 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
331 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
332 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
333 child's-child processes in the parent process.
334 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
335 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
336 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
337 and whack them if the child goes down.
338 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
339 have also been proposed on APR.
341 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
342 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
343 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
344 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
345 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
346 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
347 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
348 argument to the registered fn.
350 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
352 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
355 * Document mod_file_cache.
357 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
358 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
359 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
361 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
362 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
363 duplicates what is in APR.
365 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
366 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
367 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
369 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
371 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
372 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
373 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
374 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
375 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
376 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
377 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
378 do we address the issue above?
381 Some additional items remaining:
382 - case_preserved_filename stuff
383 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
384 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
385 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
387 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
388 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
389 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
390 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
391 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
392 translation has decided to do.
393 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
395 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
396 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
397 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
399 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
401 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
403 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
404 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
406 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
408 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
409 for failure (Doug volunteers)
411 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
412 (at least) needs to be done:
413 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
414 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
415 randomization in APR itself.
416 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
417 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
419 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
420 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
422 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
423 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
424 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
425 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
426 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
429 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
431 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
432 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
433 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
434 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
435 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
436 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
439 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
441 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
442 from the porting effort.
444 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
446 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
447 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
448 (ssl_expr_info is global)
449 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
450 (ssl_expr_error is global)
452 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
454 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
455 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
456 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
457 transactions, and more often if possible."
459 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
461 * CRL callback should be pluggable
463 * session cache store should be pluggable
465 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
467 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
468 to also decrypt proxy keys
470 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
471 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
474 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
476 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
477 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
478 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
479 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
481 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
483 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
484 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
485 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
487 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
489 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
490 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
492 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
494 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
495 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
496 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
497 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
498 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
499 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
502 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
503 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
504 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
505 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
506 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
508 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
511 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
512 inclusion into httpd.conf.
514 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

517 put them into 'the next release':

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