20 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
28 * httpd-std.conf and friends
30 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
31 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
32 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd
33 wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
35 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
39 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
40 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
41 +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter)
43 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
44 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
45 +1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
46 usually needs major customizations
47 -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd
48 wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
49 even for customized sites that ianh mentions
50 jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
51 with the required inline docs to explain the
54 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
55 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
56 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

60 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
61 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
62 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, jim, Justin, wrowe, rederpj, nd
64 /* The below was a concept on *how* to handle the problem */
65 Have 2 parents: +1: jim

73 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing), rederpj, jim
76 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
78 * RFC 2616 violations.
80 Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,

83 jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
84 if these rise to showstopper status.
86 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
87 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
88 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
89 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
90 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
91 back when this is fixed.
93 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
94 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
95 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
96 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
97 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
99 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
100 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
101 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
102 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
104 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
105 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
106 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
108 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
109 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
112 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
113 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
114 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
115 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
116 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
117 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
118 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
119 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
120 program means nothing.
122 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
123 Status: Patches proposed
124 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
125 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
127 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
128 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
129 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
130 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
132 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
133 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
135 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
136 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
137 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
139 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
140 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
141 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
142 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
143 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
144 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
147 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
148 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
149 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
150 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
151 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
152 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
154 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
155 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
156 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
157 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
158 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
159 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
160 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
162 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
163 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
164 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
165 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
166 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
169 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
170 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
171 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
172 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1

176 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
177 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
179 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
180 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
181 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
182 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
183 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
185 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
187 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
188 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
189 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
191 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
192 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
193 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
194 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
195 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
196 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
198 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
199 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
200 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
202 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
204 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
205 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
207 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
208 on all platforms and clean up our build system
210 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
211 January that you were going to commit within a few
214 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
215 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
216 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
217 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
218 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
219 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
220 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
221 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
222 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
223 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
224 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
225 allow it conditionally with a directive.
227 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
228 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
231 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
232 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
233 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
234 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
235 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
236 More examination and analysis is required.
237 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
238 FreeBSD 4.7 was reputed to have 'fixed' threads. Not.
239 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
241 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
242 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
243 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
244 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
245 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
246 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
247 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
248 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
249 at first the child or children will appear to work
250 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
251 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
252 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
253 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
254 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
255 possible that it is in APR.
257 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
258 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
259 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
260 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
261 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
262 our select() calls and their select() calls.
263 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
264 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
265 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
266 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
267 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
268 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
270 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
271 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
272 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
273 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
274 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
276 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
277 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
278 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
279 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
280 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
281 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
282 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
284 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
285 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
286 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
287 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
288 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
289 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
290 server-info or server-status.
291 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
292 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
293 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
295 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
296 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
297 child's-child processes in the parent process.
298 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
299 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
301 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
302 have also been proposed on APR.
304 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
306 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
309 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
310 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
311 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
313 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
314 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
315 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
317 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
319 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
320 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
321 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
322 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
323 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
324 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
325 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
326 do we address the issue above?
329 Some additional items remaining:
330 - case_preserved_filename stuff
331 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
332 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
333 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
335 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
336 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
337 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
338 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
339 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
340 translation has decided to do.
341 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
343 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
344 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
345 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
347 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
349 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
351 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
352 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
354 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
356 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
357 for failure (Doug volunteers)
359 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
360 (at least) needs to be done:
361 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
362 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
363 randomization in APR itself.
364 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
365 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
367 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
368 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
370 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
371 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
372 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
373 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
374 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
377 * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
378 needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
380 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
382 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
383 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
384 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
385 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
386 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
387 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
390 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
392 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
393 from the porting effort.
395 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
397 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
398 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
399 (ssl_expr_info is global)
400 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
401 (ssl_expr_error is global)
403 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
405 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
406 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
407 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
408 transactions, and more often if possible."
410 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
412 * CRL callback should be pluggable
414 * session cache store should be pluggable
416 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
418 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
419 to also decrypt proxy keys
421 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
422 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
425 * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
426 gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
427 connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
428 backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
429 connection is taken down.
431 * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
432 encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
434 * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
435 a farm of backend servers.
437 * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
439 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
441 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
442 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
443 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
444 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
446 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
447 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
448 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
449 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
451 * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
452 specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
453 (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
455 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
457 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
458 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
460 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
462 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
463 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
464 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
465 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
466 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
467 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
470 * Enable mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache to handle
473 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
474 directives (mod_disk_cache: CacheExpiryCheck and GC directives
475 including CacheGc*, CacheSize, and, CacheTimeMargin)
476 (mod_mem_cache: MCacheMaxObjectCount) and
477 (mod_cache: CacheForceCompletion).
479 mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
481 * Backport cross-platform/cross-library TLS support to 2.0 tree

804 PR#5713: os-windows [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
805 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
806 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
810 Other bugs that need fixing:
812 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
813 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
815 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
816 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
817 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
819 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
820 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
821 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
823 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
824 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
825 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
827 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
828 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
829 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
831 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
832 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
833 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
834 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
835 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
836 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
