41 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
45 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
49 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
57 * apachectl should revert to just being an init script and
58 httpd.sh should be the wrapper for httpd which sources envvars
59 and allows any options to be passed through
63 * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise
65 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
67 +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX]
70 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
71 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
72 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
74 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
76 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
77 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
78 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
79 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
80 -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0]
81 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
84 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
85 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS
86 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
87 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
90 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
92 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
93 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
94 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
95 Is this a showstopper?
99 * 500 returned instead of 501 if a handler other than default_handler
100 is invoked on a method with M_INVALID.
101 Message-ID: <20020613001913.J22524@apache.org>
102 Proposed patch: <20020613111913.S22524@apache.org>
103 Is this a showstopper?
107 * Returning invalid 304 errors when filters are present. [PR 9673]
108 Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061713320.3848-100000@lab26.lacfas.hec.ca>
109 <20020607135121.G19485@apache.org>
110 <20020610204425.B19018@lyra.org>
111 Proposed patch: <20020607214725.K19485@apache.org>
112 Status: We should set r->no_local_copy, but where can we set it?
113 We must set it before the handlers are run so that the
114 appropriate handler can call ap_meets_conditions() before
115 generating the data. Greg has reservations about Justin's
116 proposed patch. Consensus needed.
117 Is this a showstopper?
121 * server pushed CGI's not working. (Is this a showstopper??)
123 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
125 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
126 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
129 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
130 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
131 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
133 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
134 Status: Patches proposed
135 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
136 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
138 * Get mod_cache/mod_mem_cache out of experimental (still some
139 work items left to complete)
141 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
142 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
143 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
144 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
146 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
147 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
149 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
150 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
151 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
153 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
154 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
155 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
156 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
157 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
158 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
161 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
162 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
163 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
164 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
165 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
166 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
168 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
169 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
170 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
171 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
172 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
173 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
174 or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
176 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
177 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
179 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
180 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
181 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
182 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
183 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
186 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
187 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
188 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
189 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
191 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
193 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
194 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
196 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
197 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
198 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
199 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
200 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
201 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
202 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
203 Not a showstopper: Justin
205 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
207 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
209 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
210 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
211 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
212 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
213 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
214 back when this is fixed. rbb
215 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
216 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
218 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
220 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
221 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
222 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
223 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
224 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
225 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
226 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
227 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
230 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
231 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
232 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
234 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
236 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
237 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
239 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
240 on all platforms and clean up our build system
242 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
243 January that you were going to commit within a few
246 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
247 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
248 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
249 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
250 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
251 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
252 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
253 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
254 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
255 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
256 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
257 allow it conditionally with a directive.
259 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
260 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
261 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
262 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
263 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
264 More examination and analysis is required.
265 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
266 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
268 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
269 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
270 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
271 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
272 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
273 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
274 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
275 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
276 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
277 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
278 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
279 at first the child or children will appear to work
280 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
281 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
282 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
283 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
284 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
285 possible that it is in APR.
287 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
288 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
289 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
290 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
291 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
292 our select() calls and their select() calls.
293 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
294 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
295 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
296 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
297 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
298 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
300 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
301 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
302 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
303 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
304 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
305 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
306 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
307 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
308 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
309 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
310 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
311 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
312 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
314 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
315 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
316 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
317 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
318 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
319 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
320 server-info or server-status.
321 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
323 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
324 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
325 child's-child processes in the parent process.
326 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
327 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
328 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
329 and whack them if the child goes down.
330 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
331 have also been proposed on APR.
333 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
334 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
335 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
336 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
337 This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries
338 can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with
339 registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an
340 argument to the registered fn.
342 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
344 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
347 * Document mod_file_cache.
349 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
350 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
351 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
353 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
354 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
355 duplicates what is in APR.
357 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
358 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
359 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
361 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
363 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
364 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
365 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
366 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
367 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
368 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
369 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
370 do we address the issue above?
373 Some additional items remaining:
374 - case_preserved_filename stuff
375 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
376 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
377 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
379 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
380 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
381 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
382 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
383 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
384 translation has decided to do.
385 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
387 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
388 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
389 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
391 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
393 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
395 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
396 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
398 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
400 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
401 for failure (Doug volunteers)
403 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
404 (at least) needs to be done:
405 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
406 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
407 randomization in APR itself.
408 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
409 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
411 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
412 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
414 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
415 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
416 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
417 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
418 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
421 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
423 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
424 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
425 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
426 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
427 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
428 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
431 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
433 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
434 from the porting effort.
436 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
438 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
439 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
440 (ssl_expr_info is global)
441 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
442 (ssl_expr_error is global)
444 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
446 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
447 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
448 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
449 transactions, and more often if possible."
451 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
454 * CRL callback should be pluggable
456 * session cache store should be pluggable
458 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
460 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
461 to also decrypt proxy keys
463 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
464 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
467 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
468 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
469 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
470 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
471 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
473 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
474 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
475 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
476 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
478 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
480 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
481 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
483 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
485 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
486 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
487 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
488 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
489 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
490 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
493 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
494 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
495 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
496 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
497 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
499 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
502 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
503 inclusion into httpd.conf.
505 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

826 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the

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

859 likely the one to break it :-)
