39 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
43 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
46 Proposed tag is JRE_1. A proposed tarball is at:
47 http://www.apache.org/~jerenkrantz/2.0.32-jre/httpd-2.0.32-JRE-1-alpha.tar.gz
48 Tested on: Linux 2.4, Win2K, FreeBSD 3.4, AIX
50 +1: Justin, WRowe, trawick
51 Release JRE_1 as beta:
54 FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
56 * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions
57 if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration
58 Message-ID: <m3itbdiijq.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
59 * That is very unlikely, merges are additive. Much more likely,
60 the default SetOutputFilter default or merge is borked.
61 Unless it's the code that permits 'null' merges, per module.
62 Still, it's probably in SetOutputFilter's behavior.
63 * BrianP notes: directory_walk's handling of trailing slashes
64 appears to be the cause: <3C1CF721.1090300@pacbell.net>
66 * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
67 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
68 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
69 authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
70 the security and robustness of 2.0.
71 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
72 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
73 we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
74 and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
75 internal processing phase from the run request phase.
77 * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
78 types (once they are fully supported in APR).
79 Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
80 to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
81 LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
82 platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker
83 with limited OS exposure.
84 BrianP asks: "Is this really a showstopper?"
85 IanH says: "If we don't do it before we go live we will have 2
86 different API's to support in APR"
88 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
89 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
90 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
91 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
92 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
93 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
94 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
95 Not a showstopper: Justin
97 * [Ken] A binbuild installation picks up the right libraries when
98 running apachectl because we set the appropriate environment
99 variable, but ab, htpasswd, etc. don't know how to pick up apr,
101 Message-ID: <20020116000226.GA15991@ebuilt.com>
102 gregames says: what about httpd? yeah, it works at the moment
103 if you use apachectl. But I've already heard
104 complaints about not being able to execute
106 Status: Aaron has committed this for all the support binaries,
107 but is hesitant to do the same for the httpd binary.
108 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
110 * [Aaron] All signals have been removed from the worker MPM, which
111 makes the code significantly cleaner, but there are a couple of
113 * mod_cgid doesn't die at shutdown
114 * httpd -X and -DONE_PROCESS is broken
115 Justin says: JRE_1 does not have the signal-less worker MPM.
116 Status: Aaron volunteers. (This is a -1 for beta from him)
120 * Should we always build binaries statically unless otherwise
122 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
127 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
128 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
129 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
131 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
133 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
134 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
135 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
136 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
138 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
141 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
142 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff
143 -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars
145 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
147 * When we start httpd with the -DNO_DETACH flag on Unix, we
148 should still create a new session (and possibly also still close
149 stdin/stdout/stderr and redirect from /dev/null), so that
150 process management tools like 'daemontools' or AIX's System
151 Resource Controller can manage apache.
152 Message-ID: <20011228014444.GA40283@lizzy.bugworks.com>
153 Status: Aaron volunteers.
155 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
157 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
159 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
160 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
161 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
162 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
163 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
164 back when this is fixed. rbb
165 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
166 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
168 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
170 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
171 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
172 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
173 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
174 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
175 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
176 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
177 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
180 * Make some modifications to the scoreboard creation routines,
181 prefer anonymous shared memory, and allow a configuration
182 directive to override the defaults.
183 Message-ID: <20020130080804.C16977@clove.org>
184 Status: Aaron volunteers
186 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
187 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
188 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
190 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
192 * Recent changes to ap_rgetline may have broken EBCDIC boxes.
193 Message-ID: <20020122072605.GF28051@ebuilt.com>
194 Justin says: "I don't have an EBCDIC box to test on. A potential
195 solution is to split out ap_rgetline into two
196 functions as described in this message."
197 gregames says: I see the breakage now, and volunteer to fix it
198 when things calm down a little. It looks OK when
199 there are complete lines and no mime continuations.
201 * CGI single-byte reads
202 BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
203 routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
204 of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
206 Proposed solution in:
207 Message-ID: <3C36ADAF.60601@cnet.com>
209 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
210 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
212 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
213 on all platforms and clean up our build system
215 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
216 January that you were going to commit within a few
219 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
220 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
221 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
222 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
223 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
224 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
225 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
226 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
227 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
228 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
229 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
230 allow it conditionally with a directive.
232 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
233 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
234 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
235 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
236 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
237 More examination and analysis is required.
238 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
239 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
241 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
242 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
243 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
244 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
245 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
246 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
247 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
248 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
249 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
250 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
251 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
252 at first the child or children will appear to work
253 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
254 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
255 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
256 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
257 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
258 possible that it is in APR.
260 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
261 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
262 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
263 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
264 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
265 our select() calls and their select() calls.
266 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
267 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
268 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
269 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
270 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
271 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
273 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
274 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
275 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
276 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
277 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
278 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
279 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
280 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
281 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
282 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
283 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
284 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
285 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
287 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
288 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
289 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
290 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
291 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
292 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
293 server-info or server-status.
294 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
296 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
297 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
298 child's-child processes in the parent process.
299 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
300 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
301 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
302 and whack them if the child goes down.
304 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
305 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
306 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
307 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
309 * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
311 The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
312 remaining work includes:
313 (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
314 (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
315 (3) Enabling SSL extentions
316 (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
317 This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
318 filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
319 Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
320 Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
321 am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
322 shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
323 treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
324 also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
325 decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
327 * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
328 malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
329 light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
330 memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
331 longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
332 bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
333 not a hard requirement.
335 Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
336 been discussed at length for months, but since
337 SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
338 several people expressed the opinion that we should
339 get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
340 need their own memory management (free list) functions.
341 Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
342 have something to look at/compare with.
344 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
345 Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue
348 * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
349 "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
350 in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
351 what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
352 works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
353 Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
355 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
358 * Document mod_file_cache.
360 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
361 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
362 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
364 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
365 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
366 duplicates what is in APR.
368 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
369 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
370 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
372 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
374 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
375 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
376 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
377 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
378 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
379 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
380 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
381 do we address the issue above?
384 Some additional items remaining:
385 - case_preserved_filename stuff
386 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
387 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
388 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
390 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
391 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
392 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
393 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
394 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
395 translation has decided to do.
396 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
398 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
399 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
400 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
402 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
404 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
406 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
407 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
409 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
411 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
412 for failure (Doug volunteers)
414 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
415 (at least) needs to be done:
416 - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
417 specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
418 - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
419 is not available on 95/98.
420 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
421 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
422 randomization in APR itself.
423 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
424 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
426 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
427 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
428 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
429 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
430 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
431 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
434 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
435 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

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

804 AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument
805 instead of only 'None'
808 Other bugs that need fixing:
810 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
811 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
812 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
814 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
815 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
816 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
818 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
819 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
820 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
822 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
823 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
824 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
826 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
827 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
828 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
829 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
830 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
831 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
832 Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
833 likely the one to break it :-)
835 Other features that need writing:
837 * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
840 * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
844 * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
845 issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>
846 Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished
847 so that we know exactly what is required.
849 * Martin Sojka <msojka@gmx.de>'s patch to add error reporting for failed
850 htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
855 * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
857 Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
860 * Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and
861 other small mod_usertrack features
863 * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
864 of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in
869 * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
