43 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
47 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
51 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
56 * apr_poll() grows the pool (e.g., pchild or the thread's pool) on
57 each call... Apache MPMs don't have logic to work around this
60 * On AIX and Tru64, Apache won't load due to an unresolved
65 * apachectl should revert to just being an init script and
66 httpd.sh should be the wrapper for httpd which sources envvars
67 and allows any options to be passed through
71 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
73 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
75 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
78 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
79 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
80 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
82 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
84 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
85 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
86 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
87 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
88 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
89 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
92 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
93 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS
94 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
95 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
98 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
100 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
101 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
102 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
103 Is this a showstopper?
107 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
109 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
111 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
112 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
115 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
116 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
117 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
118 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
119 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
120 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
121 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
122 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
123 program means nothing.
125 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
126 Status: Patches proposed
127 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
128 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
130 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
131 work items left to complete)
133 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
134 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
135 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
136 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
138 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
139 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
141 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
142 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
143 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
145 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
146 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
147 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
148 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
149 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
150 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
153 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
154 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
155 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
156 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
157 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
158 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
160 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
161 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
162 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
163 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
164 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
165 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
166 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
168 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
169 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
171 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
172 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
173 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
174 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
175 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
178 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
179 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
180 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
181 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
183 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
185 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
186 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
188 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
189 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
190 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
191 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
192 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
193 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
194 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
195 Not a showstopper: Justin
197 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
199 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
200 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
201 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
203 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
204 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
205 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
206 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
207 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
208 back when this is fixed. rbb
209 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
210 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
212 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
214 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
215 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
216 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
217 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
218 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
219 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
220 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
221 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
224 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
225 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
226 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
228 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
230 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
231 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
233 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
234 on all platforms and clean up our build system
236 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
237 January that you were going to commit within a few
240 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
241 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
242 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
243 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
244 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
245 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
246 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
247 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
248 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
249 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
250 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
251 allow it conditionally with a directive.
253 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
254 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
255 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
256 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
257 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
258 More examination and analysis is required.
259 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
260 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
262 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
263 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
264 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
265 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
266 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
267 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
268 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
269 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
270 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
271 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
272 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
273 at first the child or children will appear to work
274 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
275 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
276 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
277 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
278 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
279 possible that it is in APR.
281 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
282 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
283 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
284 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
285 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
286 our select() calls and their select() calls.
287 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
288 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
289 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
290 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
291 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
292 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
294 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
295 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
296 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
297 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
298 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
299 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
300 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
301 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
302 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
303 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
304 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
305 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
306 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
308 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
309 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
310 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
311 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
312 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
313 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
314 server-info or server-status.
315 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
317 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
318 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
319 child's-child processes in the parent process.
320 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
321 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
322 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
323 and whack them if the child goes down.
324 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
325 have also been proposed on APR.
327 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
328 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
329 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
330 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
331 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
332 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
333 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
334 argument to the registered fn.
336 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
338 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
341 * Document mod_file_cache.
343 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
344 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
345 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
347 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
348 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
349 duplicates what is in APR.
351 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
352 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
353 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
355 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
357 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
358 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
359 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
360 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
361 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
362 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
363 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
364 do we address the issue above?
367 Some additional items remaining:
368 - case_preserved_filename stuff
369 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
370 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
371 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
373 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
374 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
375 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
376 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
377 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
378 translation has decided to do.
379 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
381 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
382 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
383 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
385 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
387 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
389 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
390 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
392 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
394 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
395 for failure (Doug volunteers)
397 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
398 (at least) needs to be done:
399 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
400 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
401 randomization in APR itself.
402 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
403 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
405 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
406 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
408 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
409 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
410 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
411 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
412 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
415 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
417 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
418 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
419 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
420 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
421 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
422 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
425 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
427 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
428 from the porting effort.
430 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
432 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
433 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
434 (ssl_expr_info is global)
435 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
436 (ssl_expr_error is global)
438 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
440 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
441 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
442 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
443 transactions, and more often if possible."
445 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
447 * CRL callback should be pluggable
449 * session cache store should be pluggable
451 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
453 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
454 to also decrypt proxy keys
456 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
457 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
460 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
462 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
463 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
464 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
465 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
467 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
469 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
470 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
471 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
473 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
475 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
476 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
478 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
480 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
481 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
482 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
483 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
484 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
485 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
488 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
489 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
490 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
491 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
492 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
494 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
497 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
498 inclusion into httpd.conf.
500 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

821 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
822 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
826 Other bugs that need fixing:
828 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
829 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
831 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
832 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
833 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
835 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
836 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
837 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
839 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
840 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
841 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
843 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
844 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
845 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
847 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
848 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
849 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
850 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
851 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
852 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.

854 likely the one to break it :-)
