44 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
46 * 32 status: Released as beta. Enjoy.
48 FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
50 * All ap_internal_fast_redirect()ed requests are losing their filters
51 and output headers. mod_negotiation derived Multiviewed documents
52 and mod_dir DirectoryIndex documents both demonstrate this behavior.
53 cf reply: <007c01c1b3d1$46714650$94c0b0d0@v505>
54 to thread: <200202121332.IAA27467@web.turner.com>
56 Ditch fast_redirect, it was bogus in 1.3 and it's bogus now.
57 In Agreement? : Justin, Aaron
58 Fix [and *Maintain*] fast_redirect, it was useful to our redirects
59 in negotiation and dir, and it's useful to 3rd parties.
62 * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
63 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
64 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
65 authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
66 the security and robustness of 2.0.
67 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
68 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
69 we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
70 and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
71 internal processing phase from the run request phase.
73 * We need to find out the right place to add the AddOutputFilterByType
74 directive. mod_mime? No. core with fixups? That's what it is now.
75 ap_pass_brigade() hook? As a filter that runs at HTTP_HEADER stage?
76 This needs to be resolved before the next public release.
77 Message-ID: <018701c1b99c$f0f24310$0a01230a@KOJ>
79 * API changes planned for 2.0 that should happen before the
81 * Free lists for bucket allocation
83 * Graceful restart is broken in the worker MPM.
84 Message-ID: <m3g03tnrkv.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
85 Justin asks: "Is this fixed? I can't reproduce now."
86 Jeff: Here are some problems that remain now that the segfault
88 1) accept mutex gets cleaned up before children are gone; with
89 some types (sysvsem), this causes immediate failure in a
90 thread blocked in the accept mutex; that thread will exit(),
91 presumably taking with it any active connections owned by other
92 threads in the process
93 2) even without accept mutex (1 listening socket), I see some
94 evidence of a child exiting prematurely (dropped connections)
97 * Win32 doesn't install as service correctly [9863, 9914, 9961]
98 * --enable-layout doesn't work [9873, 9885]
102 * Should we always build binaries statically unless otherwise
104 Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com>
109 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
110 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
111 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a
113 See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com>
115 Self-destruct: Ken, Martin
116 Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS
117 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
118 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim
120 +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do
123 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
124 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff
125 -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars
127 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
129 * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
131 Status: Aaron has converted all but the perchild MPM to
132 use the new lock API. Since perchild has been put
133 on the back burner, this is no longer a showstopper.
134 Aaron will patch perchild as soon as it becomes
137 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
138 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
139 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
140 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
141 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
144 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
145 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
146 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
147 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
149 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
151 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
152 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
154 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
155 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
156 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
157 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
158 If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced
159 outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
160 think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
161 Not a showstopper: Justin
163 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
165 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
167 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
168 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
169 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
170 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
171 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
172 back when this is fixed. rbb
173 Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here
174 forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with
176 Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames
178 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
179 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
180 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
181 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
182 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
183 like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
184 Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?"
185 Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron,
188 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
189 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
190 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
192 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
194 * Recent changes to ap_rgetline may have broken EBCDIC boxes.
195 Message-ID: <20020122072605.GF28051@ebuilt.com>
196 Justin says: "I don't have an EBCDIC box to test on. A potential
197 solution is to split out ap_rgetline into two
198 functions as described in this message."
199 gregames says: I see the breakage now, and volunteer to fix it
200 when things calm down a little. It looks OK when
201 there are complete lines and no mime continuations.
203 * CGI single-byte reads
204 BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
205 routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
206 of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
208 Proposed solution in:

211 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
212 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
214 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
215 on all platforms and clean up our build system
217 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
218 January that you were going to commit within a few
221 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
222 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
223 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
224 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
225 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
226 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
227 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
228 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
229 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
230 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
231 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
232 allow it conditionally with a directive.
234 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
235 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
236 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
237 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
238 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
239 More examination and analysis is required.
240 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
241 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
243 Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
244 problem. Yum. If another platform has this
245 with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
246 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
247 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
248 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
249 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
250 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
251 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
252 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
253 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
254 at first the child or children will appear to work
255 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
256 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
257 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
258 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
259 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
260 possible that it is in APR.
262 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
263 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
264 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
265 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
266 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
267 our select() calls and their select() calls.
268 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
269 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
270 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
271 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
272 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
273 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
275 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
276 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
277 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
278 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
279 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
280 rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
281 for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
282 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
283 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
284 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
285 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
286 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
287 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
289 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
290 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
291 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
292 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
293 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
294 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
295 server-info or server-status.
296 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
298 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
299 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
300 child's-child processes in the parent process.
301 OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
302 stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
303 way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
304 and whack them if the child goes down.
306 * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
307 the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
308 death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
309 Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
311 * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
313 The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
314 remaining work includes:
315 (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
316 (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
317 (3) Enabling SSL extentions
318 (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
319 This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
320 filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
321 Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
322 Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
323 am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
324 shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
325 treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
326 also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
327 decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
329 * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
330 malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
331 light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
332 memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
333 longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
334 bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
335 not a hard requirement.
337 Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
338 been discussed at length for months, but since
339 SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
340 several people expressed the opinion that we should
341 get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
342 need their own memory management (free list) functions.
343 Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
344 have something to look at/compare with.
346 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
347 Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue
350 * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
351 "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
352 in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
353 what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
354 works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
355 Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
357 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
360 * Document mod_file_cache.
362 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
363 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
364 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
366 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
367 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
368 duplicates what is in APR.
370 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
371 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
372 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
374 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
376 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
377 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
378 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
379 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
380 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
381 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
382 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
383 do we address the issue above?
386 Some additional items remaining:
387 - case_preserved_filename stuff
388 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
389 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
390 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
392 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
393 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
394 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
395 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
396 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
397 translation has decided to do.
398 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
400 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
401 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
402 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
404 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
406 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
408 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
409 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
411 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
413 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
414 for failure (Doug volunteers)
416 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
417 (at least) needs to be done:
418 - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
419 specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
420 - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
421 is not available on 95/98.
422 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
423 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
424 randomization in APR itself.
425 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
426 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
428 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
429 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
430 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
431 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
432 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
433 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
436 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
437 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

801 [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
802 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
803 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
806 AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument
807 instead of only 'None'
810 Other bugs that need fixing:
812 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
813 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
814 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
816 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
817 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
818 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
820 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
821 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
822 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
824 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
825 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
826 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
828 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
829 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
830 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
831 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
832 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
833 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
834 Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
835 likely the one to break it :-)
837 Other features that need writing:
839 * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
842 * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
846 * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
847 issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>
848 Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished
849 so that we know exactly what is required.

852 htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
857 * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
859 Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
862 * Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and
863 other small mod_usertrack features
865 * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
866 of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in
871 * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
