82 Contributors looking for a mission:
84 * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source.
86 * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
88 * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database:
90 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable
92 After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested".
94 * Open bugs in the bug database.
96 * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items.
99 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
101 * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such
102 that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can
103 only be made in the trunk.
105 * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk,
106 as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk
107 then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable.
109 * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch:
114 . non-Unix, single-platform code

153 2.4.x patch: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/patches/2.4.x/httpd-2.4.x-r1740928_and_co-v6.patch
155 ylavic: Changed to v5 (+r1812193) which hopefully should address compat
157 icing: builds and runs fine in my tests. However I do not have <Proxy> specific
158 setups to check that all config commands apply properly. Otherwise, looks
159 backward compatible to me.
160 ylavic: Argh, update to v6 since v5 partially reverted r1747069 (which was
161 a later change than the original proposal). Here is v5 vs v6 diff:
162 http://home.apache.org/~ylavic/patches/httpd-2.4.x-r1740928_and_co-v5_vs_v6.diff
163 Not really related to the functionality of this proposal, so I
164 didn't reset Stefan's vote...

184 http://home.apache.org/~jim/patches/RemoteIPProxyProtocol.2.4-v2.patch
185 http://svn.apache.org/r1818279
187 ylavic: RemoteIPProxyProtocol* are documented as scoped to server config
188 and virtual host, though using ap_server_conf makes them global
189 only (thus less useful too...).
190 jim: Can docco patch be post-backport?

241 discourage content encoders on http2-status response (where they do not work)
242 2.4.x patch: svn merge -c 1821371,1822502,1822503 ^/httpd/httpd/trunk .
245 *) config.layout: Add Fedora layout.
246 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1823179
247 2.4.x patch: trunk works
249 ylavic: isn't this applicable to CTR? (no Fedora at hand to test/vote)
251 *) proxy_util: Schemes and hostnames that are "too long" are
252 no longer automatically fatal errors but are instead logged
253 and truncated, at which point the admin can determine if that

276 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE BEING WORKED
277 [ New entries should be added at the START of the list ]
279 *) mod_ssl: Return 502 instead of 500 when SSL peer check or
280 proxy_post_handshake hook fails.
281 Trunk patch: r1645529 (works)
282 2.4.x patch which adds CHANGES: https://emptyhammock.com/media/downloads/r1645529-to-2.4.x.txt
284 ylavic: there may be missing bits, see thread for commit r1736510.
286 *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming
287 from a (F)CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch.
288 Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements
289 and violations of the RFC.

298 2.4.x: trunk patches work, final view:
299 http://home.apache.org/~elukey/httpd-2.4.x-core-last_modified_tz_logging.patch
300 The problem has been discussed in dev@ extensively but we did not reach a common
301 agreement about how to proceed in the long term. While we wait, I would really like
302 to introduce useful logs for the users (the starting point of this change was a users@
303 email thread). If this is not the right way to go I will move the patch to other
304 sections of STATUS (stalled or being worked).
305 The code has been tested with a simple PHP script returning different Last-Modified
306 headers (GMT now, GMT now Europe/Paris, GMT tomorrow, GMT yesterday, PST now).
309 *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if
310 it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous
311 behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting
312 the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which
313 comes for free with the same commit).
314 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303
315 http://svn.apache.org/r1678215
316 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch
318 ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two
319 ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge
320 does a minor bump only.
321 minfrin: Two new directives need to be documented.
323 * mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre-
324 fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed
325 to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the
326 backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime.
327 Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to
328 flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920.
329 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1656259
330 http://svn.apache.org/r1656359 (CHANGES entry)
331 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags)
333 -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an
334 error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is
335 expensive, and is always done, even before we know that
336 the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the
337 error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus
338 it seems to allow for a DDoS vector).
339 ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the
340 connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the
341 client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch
342 these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any
343 difference (more cycles) compared with the current code.
344 However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when
345 the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this.
346 Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just
347 make it nonblocking (by default)?
348 jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle...
350 * mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs
351 to the DAV response. Requires a release of apr-util v1.6.
352 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748322
353 2.4.x: trunk works modulo CHANGES/MMN
355 rpluem asks: Will this compile with apr-util < v1.6 and keep
356 mod_dav working (without the new features of the patch of course)?
357 I doubt that we will require apr-util 1.6 for the lifetime of 2.4.x
358 (see the discussion around ap_cstr_casecmp[n] an apr 1.6)
359 minfrin: Yes, as you can see in the patch everything applies only
360 if APR_XML_X2T_PARSED is defined, and the patch was tested with
361 both apr-util v1.6 and apr-util v1.5.
362 -1: jorton, breaks binary backwards compat per dev@ discuss
363 msgid <20160902120654.GA12674@redhat.com>
364 (& also, making the structure change with apr-util version
365 means it breaks binary compat across an apr-util upgrade?)
367 * Support PCRE2 (10.x) in place of PCRE (8.x).

374 http://svn.apache.org/r1773870
375 http://svn.apache.org/r1773882
376 wrowe notes that the current code is too inefficient, owing to the fact
377 that the ovector is a required allocation and is no longer allocated on
378 the stack, by design. The correct fix is an apr userdata allocation on
379 the appropriate pool, which would be thread-safe, but the actual API of
380 ap_regexec[_len]() offers us no pool. We cannot associate that pool with
381 the ap_regex_t, because a single regex may be used by many threads in
382 parallel and is not thread-safe beyond initialization.
383 So the only fix allowing us to use PCRE 10 in httpd 2.4 would be to write
384 this as a thread safe storage buffer for the majority of cases (<10 $args)
385 and we don't have a portable tls mechanism to do so.
386 jorton: Adding ap_pregexec/_len which pass a pool would also work
387 for internal users of this api; not sure if performance
388 impact is significant from using malloc here.
391 PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
393 * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This
394 backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds
395 API to allow other modules to be used for error logging.

407 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-errorlog_provider.patch
409 +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders,
410 needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual)
411 trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writing to syslog */"
412 (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely)
413 jim: What is the status of this??
415 * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch
416 and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers
417 with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers
418 in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not
419 matched and used for request. PR 43513.
420 trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1609680
421 http://svn.apache.org/r1609688
422 http://svn.apache.org/r1641381
423 ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call).
424 Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset.
425 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch
427 -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function
428 really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences?
429 Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline?
431 * core: Add support for systemd socket activation.

441 * mod_proxy: Ensure network errors detected by the proxy are returned as
442 504 Gateway Timeout as opposed to 502 Bad Gateway
443 trunk patch: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1480058
444 2.4.x patch: trunk patch works modulo CHANGES
446 -1: rpluem: This change is still disputed. See
447 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201305.mbox/%3C1B16B9E3-87BA-4EEF-939C-7C7313B54714%40gbiv.com%3E
449 * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be
450 compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler.
451 Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected.

456 fuankg: on hold until we agree for a better and more simple solution ...
458 * Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target.
459 Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is
460 no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive.

464 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff
467 This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on
468 Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages.
469 To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts
470 of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation
471 is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness
472 is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe
473 that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the
474 place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems
475 for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection
476 of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks
477 once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache
478 messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
479 fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now
480 make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those
481 who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware
482 of any risks (this should cover your last point).
483 jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns?
484 trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea)
485 Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead
486 of described indirectly in a sample?
487 Why are these new samples added to the install without three
488 votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two
489 existing ones and I'll be satisfied that enough people
490 considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a
491 real httpd usability problem.)
492 wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin
493 their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like
494 the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but
495 there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none
496 of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new
497 cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples
500 *) mod_journald: Add new module mod_journald to log error logs into journald.

504 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch
505 http://svn.apache.org/r1812339
507 jchampion: Looks like the headers require GCC extensions to compile, so
508 mod_journald can't be configured in maintainer mode (-std=c89).
509 Can anyone else reproduce, or is it just my distro?
510 ylavic: missing r1812339 for maintainer-mode/c89/-Werror compliance,
511 needed if the above configure.in proposal gets backported.
512 Note that r1812339 could be backported in any case, even if
513 the above configure.in proposal does not get accepted.
515 * mod_systemd: New module, for integration with systemd on Linux.

524 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/mod_systemd/httpd-2.4.x-mod_systemd.patch
526 sf comments: The IdleShutdown logic seems broken. Consider a single
527 active connection that is stalled for 10 seconds. That
528 connection will be broken after GracefulShutdownTimeout.
529 A better logic would be to check if there is any open
530 connection that is not in keep-alive state.
