46 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
50 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
54 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
62 * httpd-std.conf and friends
64 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
65 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
66 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
68 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
72 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
73 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
74 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
76 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
77 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
79 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
80 usually needs major customizations
83 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
85 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
87 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
90 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
91 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
92 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
94 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
96 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
97 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
98 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
99 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
100 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
101 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
104 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
105 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker
106 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
107 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
110 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
112 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
113 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
114 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
115 Is this a showstopper?
119 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
121 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
123 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
124 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
127 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
128 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
129 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
130 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
131 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
132 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
133 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
134 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
135 program means nothing.
137 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
138 Status: Patches proposed
139 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
140 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
142 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
143 work items left to complete)
145 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
146 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
147 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
148 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
150 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
151 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
153 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
154 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
155 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
157 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
158 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
159 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
160 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
161 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
162 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
165 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
166 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
167 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
168 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
169 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
170 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
172 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
173 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
174 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
175 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
176 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
177 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
178 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
180 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
181 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
183 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
184 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
185 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
186 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
187 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
190 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
191 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
192 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
193 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
195 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
197 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
198 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
200 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
201 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
202 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
203 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
204 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
205 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
206 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
207 Not a showstopper: Justin
209 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
211 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
212 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
213 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
215 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
216 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
217 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
218 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
219 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
220 back when this is fixed. rbb
221 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
222 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
224 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
226 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
227 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
228 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
229 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
230 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
231 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
232 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
233 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
236 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
237 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
238 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
240 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
242 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
243 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
245 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
246 on all platforms and clean up our build system
248 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
249 January that you were going to commit within a few
252 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
253 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
254 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
255 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
256 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
257 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
258 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
259 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
260 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
261 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
262 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
263 allow it conditionally with a directive.
265 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
266 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
267 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
268 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
269 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
270 More examination and analysis is required.
271 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
272 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
274 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
275 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
276 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
277 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
278 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
279 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
280 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
281 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
282 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
283 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
284 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
285 at first the child or children will appear to work
286 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
287 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
288 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
289 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
290 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
291 possible that it is in APR.
293 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
294 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
295 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
296 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
297 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
298 our select() calls and their select() calls.
299 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
300 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
301 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
302 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
303 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
304 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
306 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
307 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
308 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
309 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
310 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
311 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
312 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
313 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
314 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
315 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
316 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
317 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
318 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
320 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
321 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
322 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
323 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
324 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
325 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
326 server-info or server-status.
327 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
328 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
329 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
332 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
333 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
334 child's-child processes in the parent process.
335 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
336 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
337 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
338 and whack them if the child goes down.
339 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
340 have also been proposed on APR.
342 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
343 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
344 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
345 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
346 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
347 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
348 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
349 argument to the registered fn.
351 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
353 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
356 * Document mod_file_cache.
358 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
359 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
360 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
362 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
363 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
364 duplicates what is in APR.
366 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
367 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
368 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
370 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
372 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
373 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
374 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
375 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
376 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
377 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
378 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
379 do we address the issue above?
382 Some additional items remaining:
383 - case_preserved_filename stuff
384 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
385 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
386 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
388 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
389 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
390 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
391 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
392 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
393 translation has decided to do.
394 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
396 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
397 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
398 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
400 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
402 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
404 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
405 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
407 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
409 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
410 for failure (Doug volunteers)
412 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
413 (at least) needs to be done:
414 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
415 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
416 randomization in APR itself.
417 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
418 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
420 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
421 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
423 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
424 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
425 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
426 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
427 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
430 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
432 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
433 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
434 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
435 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
436 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
437 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
440 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
442 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
443 from the porting effort.
445 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
447 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
448 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
449 (ssl_expr_info is global)
450 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
451 (ssl_expr_error is global)
453 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
455 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
456 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
457 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
458 transactions, and more often if possible."
460 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
462 * CRL callback should be pluggable
464 * session cache store should be pluggable
466 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
468 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
469 to also decrypt proxy keys
471 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
472 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
475 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
477 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
478 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
479 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
480 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
482 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
484 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
485 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
486 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
488 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
490 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
491 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
493 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
495 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
496 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
497 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
498 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
499 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
500 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
503 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
504 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
505 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
506 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
507 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
509 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
512 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
513 inclusion into httpd.conf.
515 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.
517 PRs that have been suspended forever waiting for someone to
518 put them into 'the next release':

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