46 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
50 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
53 Contributors looking for a mission:
55 * just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
58 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
66 * httpd-std.conf and friends
68 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
69 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
70 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
72 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
76 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
77 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
78 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
80 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
81 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
83 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
84 usually needs major customizations
87 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
88 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
89 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

95 Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin
96 Have 2 parents: +1: Jim

101 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
102 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker
103 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
104 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
107 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
109 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
110 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
111 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
112 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
113 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
114 back when this is fixed. rbb
116 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
117 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
118 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
119 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
120 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
122 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
123 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
124 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
125 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains".
127 * server pushed CGI's not working.
128 This might be an interaction with the above pipes deadlock issue.
130 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
132 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
133 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
134 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
136 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
137 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
140 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
141 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
142 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
143 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
144 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
145 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
146 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
147 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
148 program means nothing.
150 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
151 Status: Patches proposed
152 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
153 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
155 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
156 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
157 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
158 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
160 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
161 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
163 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
164 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
165 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
167 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
168 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
169 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
170 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
171 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
172 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
175 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
176 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
177 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
178 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
179 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
180 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
182 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
183 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
184 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
185 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
186 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
187 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
188 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
190 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
191 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
193 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
194 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
195 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
196 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
197 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
200 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
201 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
202 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
203 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
205 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
207 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
208 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
210 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
211 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
212 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
213 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
214 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
216 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
218 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
219 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
220 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
222 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
223 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
224 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
225 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
226 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
227 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
229 * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This
230 will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket
231 descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed
233 Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org>
235 * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
236 Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
238 Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
239 on all platforms and clean up our build system
241 Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in
242 January that you were going to commit within a few
245 * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
246 completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
247 ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
248 through in the query string, however. Roy says the
249 original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
250 was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
251 a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
252 ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
253 form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.
254 Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
255 segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
256 allow it conditionally with a directive.
258 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
259 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
262 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
263 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
264 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
265 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
266 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
267 More examination and analysis is required.
268 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
269 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
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.
322 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
323 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
325 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
326 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
327 child's-child processes in the parent process.
328 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
329 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
331 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
332 have also been proposed on APR.
334 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
336 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
339 * Document mod_file_cache.
341 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
342 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
343 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
345 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
346 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
347 duplicates what is in APR.
349 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
350 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
351 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
353 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
355 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
356 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
357 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
358 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
359 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
360 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
361 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
362 do we address the issue above?
365 Some additional items remaining:
366 - case_preserved_filename stuff
367 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
368 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
369 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
371 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
372 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
373 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
374 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
375 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
376 translation has decided to do.
377 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
379 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
380 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
381 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
383 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
385 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
387 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
388 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
390 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
392 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
393 for failure (Doug volunteers)
395 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
396 (at least) needs to be done:
397 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
398 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
399 randomization in APR itself.
400 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
401 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
403 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
404 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)
406 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
407 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
408 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
409 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
410 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
413 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
415 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
416 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
417 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
418 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
419 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
420 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
423 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
425 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
426 from the porting effort.
428 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
430 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
431 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
432 (ssl_expr_info is global)
433 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
434 (ssl_expr_error is global)
436 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
438 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
439 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
440 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
441 transactions, and more often if possible."
443 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
445 * CRL callback should be pluggable
447 * session cache store should be pluggable
449 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
451 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
452 to also decrypt proxy keys
454 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
455 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
458 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
460 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
461 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
462 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
463 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
465 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
467 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
468 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
469 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
471 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
473 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
474 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
476 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
478 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
479 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
480 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
481 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
482 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
483 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
486 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
487 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
488 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
489 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
490 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
492 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
495 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
496 inclusion into httpd.conf.
498 * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.

826 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
827 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
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 :-)
