44 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
46 * 32 status: Released as beta. Enjoy.
48 FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
50 * All ap_internal_fast_redirect()ed requests are losing their filters
51 and output headers. mod_negotiation derived Multiviewed documents
52 and mod_dir DirectoryIndex documents both demonstrate this behavior.
54 cf reply: <007c01c1b3d1$46714650$94c0b0d0@v505>
55 to thread: <200202121332.IAA27467@web.turner.com>
57 Ditch fast_redirect, it was bogus in 1.3 and it's bogus now.
58 In Agreement? : Justin, Aaron
59 Fix [and *Maintain*] fast_redirect, it was useful to our redirects
60 in negotiation and dir, and it's useful to 3rd parties.
63 * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
64 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
65 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
66 authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
67 the security and robustness of 2.0.
68 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
69 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
70 we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
71 and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
72 internal processing phase from the run request phase.
74 * We need to find out the right place to add the AddOutputFilterByType
75 directive. mod_mime? No. core with fixups? That's what it is now.
76 ap_pass_brigade() hook? As a filter that runs at HTTP_HEADER stage?
77 This needs to be resolved before the next public release.
78 Message-ID: <018701c1b99c$f0f24310$0a01230a@KOJ>
80 * API changes planned for 2.0 that should happen before the
82 * Free lists for bucket allocation
84 * Graceful restart is broken in the worker MPM.
85 Message-ID: <m3g03tnrkv.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
86 Justin asks: "Is this fixed? I can't reproduce now."
87 Jeff: Here are some problems that remain now that the segfault
89 1) accept mutex gets cleaned up before children are gone; with
90 some types (sysvsem), this causes immediate failure in a
91 thread blocked in the accept mutex; that thread will exit(),
92 presumably taking with it any active connections owned by other
93 threads in the process
94 2) even without accept mutex (1 listening socket), I see some
95 evidence of a child exiting prematurely (dropped connections)
98 * Win32 doesn't install as service correctly [9863, 9914, 9961]
99 * --enable-layout doesn't work [9873, 9885]
103 * Should we always build binaries statically unless otherwise
105 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
110 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
111 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
112 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
114 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
116 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
117 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
118 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
119 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
121 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
124 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
125 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff
126 -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars
128 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
130 * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
132 Status: Aaron has converted all but the perchild MPM to
133 use the new lock API. Since perchild has been put
134 on the back burner, this is no longer a showstopper.
135 Aaron will patch perchild as soon as it becomes
138 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
139 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
140 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
141 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
142 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
145 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
146 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
147 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
148 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
150 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
152 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
153 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
155 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
156 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
157 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
158 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
159 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
160 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
161 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
162 Not a showstopper: Justin
164 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
166 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
168 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
169 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
170 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
171 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
172 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
173 back when this is fixed. rbb
174 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
175 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
177 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
179 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
180 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
181 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
182 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
183 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
184 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
185 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
186 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
189 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
190 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
191 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
193 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
195 * Recent changes to ap_rgetline may have broken EBCDIC boxes.
196 Message-ID: <20020122072605.GF28051@ebuilt.com>
197 Justin says: "I don't have an EBCDIC box to test on. A potential
198 solution is to split out ap_rgetline into two
199 functions as described in this message."
200 gregames says: I see the breakage now, and volunteer to fix it
201 when things calm down a little. It looks OK when
202 there are complete lines and no mime continuations.
204 * CGI single-byte reads
205 BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
206 routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
207 of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
209 Proposed solution in:
210 Message-ID: <3C36ADAF.60601@cnet.com>
212 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
213 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
215 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
216 on all platforms and clean up our build system
218 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
219 January that you were going to commit within a few
222 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
223 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
224 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
225 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
226 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
227 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
228 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
229 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
230 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
231 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
232 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
233 allow it conditionally with a directive.
235 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
236 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
237 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
238 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
239 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
240 More examination and analysis is required.
241 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
242 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
244 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
245 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
246 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
247 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
248 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
249 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
250 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
251 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
252 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
253 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
254 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
255 at first the child or children will appear to work
256 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
257 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
258 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
259 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
260 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
261 possible that it is in APR.
263 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
264 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
265 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
266 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
267 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
268 our select() calls and their select() calls.
269 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
270 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
271 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
272 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
273 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
274 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
276 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
277 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
278 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
279 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
280 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
281 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
282 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
283 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
284 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
285 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
286 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
287 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
288 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
290 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
291 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
292 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
293 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
294 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
295 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
296 server-info or server-status.
297 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
299 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
300 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
301 child's-child processes in the parent process.
302 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
303 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
304 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
305 and whack them if the child goes down.
307 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
308 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
309 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
310 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
312 * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
314 The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
315 remaining work includes:
316 (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
317 (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
318 (3) Enabling SSL extentions
319 (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
320 This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
321 filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
322 Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
323 Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
324 am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
325 shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
326 treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
327 also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
328 decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
330 * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
331 malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
332 light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
333 memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
334 longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
335 bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
336 not a hard requirement.
338 Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
339 been discussed at length for months, but since
340 SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
341 several people expressed the opinion that we should
342 get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
343 need their own memory management (free list) functions.
344 Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
345 have something to look at/compare with.
347 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
348 Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue
351 * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
352 "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
353 in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
354 what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
355 works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
356 Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
358 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
361 * Document mod_file_cache.
363 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
364 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
365 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
367 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
368 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
369 duplicates what is in APR.
371 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
372 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
373 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
375 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
377 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
378 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
379 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
380 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
381 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
382 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
383 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
384 do we address the issue above?
387 Some additional items remaining:
388 - case_preserved_filename stuff
389 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
390 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
391 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
393 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
394 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
395 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
396 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
397 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
398 translation has decided to do.
399 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
401 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
402 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
403 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
405 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
407 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
409 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
410 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
412 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
414 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
415 for failure (Doug volunteers)
417 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
418 (at least) needs to be done:
419 - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
420 specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
421 - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
422 is not available on 95/98.
423 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
424 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
425 randomization in APR itself.
426 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
427 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
429 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
430 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
431 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
432 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
433 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
434 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
437 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
438 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

802 [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
803 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the

807 AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument
808 instead of only 'None'
811 Other bugs that need fixing:
813 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
814 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
815 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
817 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
818 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
819 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
821 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
822 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
823 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
825 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
826 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
827 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
829 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
830 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
831 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
832 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
833 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
834 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
835 Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
836 likely the one to break it :-)
838 Other features that need writing:
840 * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
843 * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
847 * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
848 issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>
849 Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished
850 so that we know exactly what is required.

853 htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
858 * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
860 Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
863 * Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and
864 other small mod_usertrack features
866 * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
867 of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in
872 * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
