47 Please consult the following STATUS files for information
51 * srclib/apr-util/STATUS
54 Contributors looking for a mission:
56 * just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
59 CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
67 * httpd-std.conf and friends
69 a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
70 binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf
71 +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken
73 b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
77 c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
78 sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
79 +1: slive, trawick, Ken
81 d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
82 doesn't make ANY sense at all.
84 ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
85 usually needs major customizations
88 * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes
89 "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
90 option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

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

102 * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
103 +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff, BillS, striker
104 +0: BrianP, Aaron (mutex contention is looking better with the
105 latest code, let's continue tuning and testing)
108 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
110 * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
111 hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
112 order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
113 the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
114 modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
115 back when this is fixed.
117 OtherBill offers that this is a SERIOUS problem. We do not sort
118 correctly by the ordering arguments passed to the register hook
119 functions. This was proven when I reordered the open_logs hook
120 to attempt to open the error logs prior to the access logs. Possibly
121 the entire sorting code needs to be refactored.
123 * pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
124 Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
125 is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
126 for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains".
128 * server pushed CGI's not working.
129 This might be an interaction with the above pipes deadlock issue.
131 Message-ID: <3CE15B85.2FF45121@apache.org>
133 * All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
134 is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
135 same headers as a GET which is wrong.
137 * HP/UX 10.20: compile breakage in APR. Looks like it should be easy
138 to fix, probably just some extraneous #include's that are fouling
141 Jeff: See my reply and patch in the PR (and previous commit to
142 stop using "pipe" as a field name). If patch is committed, we
143 should be okay. I'll wait to see if the user tests the patch.
144 Update by Jeff 20020722: I got an account on HP 10.20. It looks
145 like some of the APR thread detection is screwed up. If we find
146 pthread.h but we can't compile the pthread test program we still
147 think we can use threads. For that reason, the patch I posted
148 to the PR won't work as-is since a failed compile of the test
149 program means nothing.
151 * exec cmd and suexec arg-passing enhancements
152 Status: Patches proposed
153 Message-ID: <20020526041748.A29148@prodigy.Redbrick.DCU.IE>
154 (see the "proc.patch" and "suexec-shell.patch" links in this message)
156 * The 2.0.36 worker MPM graceless shutdown changes work but are
157 a bit clunky on some platforms; eg, on Linux, the loop to
158 join each worker thread seems to hang, and the parent ends up
159 killing off the child with SIGKILL. But at least it shuts down.
161 * --enable-mods-shared="foo1 foo2" is busted on Darwin. Pier
162 posted a patch (Message-ID: <B8DBBE8D.575A%pier@betaversion.org>).
164 * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
165 scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
166 httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
168 * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
169 scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
170 r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
171 end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
172 know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
173 modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
176 Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
177 Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
178 [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
179 as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
180 default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
181 and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
183 gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
184 being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
185 potential broken modules? It seems futile.
186 wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
187 But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
188 walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
189 UNTIL 2.1 or we break modules that haven't hooked map_to_storage.
191 * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
192 it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
194 * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
195 how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
196 correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
197 get the content that had already been written and the socket at
198 the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
201 * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
202 sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
203 you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
204 if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
206 Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org>
208 * Can a static httpd be built reliably?
209 Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
211 * [Ken] Test suite failures:
212 o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
213 (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
214 Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here.
215 I think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."
217 * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be
219 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu>
220 Jeff wonders if we still care about this. It is no longer an
221 API issue but simply an extra trip through the brigade.
223 * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
224 administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
225 extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
226 before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
227 filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
228 like a nice solution. See ROADMAP.
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 OtherBill adds that %2f as the SECOND character of a multibyte
260 sequence causes the request to fail! This happens notably in
263 * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
264 if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
265 a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
266 lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
267 the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
268 More examination and analysis is required.
269 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
270 Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
272 Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
273 the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
274 (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
275 I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
276 else wants to pick up where I've left off:
277 - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
278 processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
279 - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
280 at first the child or children will appear to work
281 properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
282 however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
283 request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
284 hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
285 pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
286 possible that it is in APR.
288 Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
289 select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
290 So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
291 scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
292 the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
293 our select() calls and their select() calls.
294 *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
295 files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
296 when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
297 waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
298 those decrementing select calls have to do with the
299 scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
301 * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
302 that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl.
303 Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
304 an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
305 Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
307 On the other hand, we already have a pipe that goes between parent
308 and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
309 can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
310 it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
311 and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
312 to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
313 figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
315 * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
316 allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
317 by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
318 <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
319 and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
320 not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
321 server-info or server-status.
322 This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
323 striker: See the thread starting with Message-ID:
324 JLEGKKNELMHCJPNMOKHOGEEJFBAA.striker@apache.org.
326 * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
327 goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
328 child's-child processes in the parent process.
329 stoddard: Shared scoreboard might offer a good way for the parent
330 to keep track of 'other child' processes and whack them if the child
332 Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
333 have also been proposed on APR.
335 * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
337 * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
340 * Document mod_file_cache.
342 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
343 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
344 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
346 * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
347 would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
348 duplicates what is in APR.
350 * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
351 losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
352 system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
354 * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
356 * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
357 the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
358 necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
359 rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
360 for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
361 Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
362 useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
363 do we address the issue above?
366 Some additional items remaining:
367 - case_preserved_filename stuff
368 (use the new canonical name stuff?)
369 - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
370 - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
372 * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
373 are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
374 function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
375 something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
376 "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
377 translation has decided to do.
378 Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
380 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
381 calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
382 ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
384 * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
386 * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack
388 * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
389 into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
391 * shift stuff to mod_core.h
393 * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
394 for failure (Doug volunteers)
396 * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
397 (at least) needs to be done:
398 - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
399 rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
400 randomization in APR itself.
401 - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
402 actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
404 * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
405 of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die.
407 * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that
408 proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on
409 some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but
410 later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org:
411 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought
414 TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
416 * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
417 -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
418 entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
419 this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
420 autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
421 search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
424 * SSL renegotiations in combination with POST request
426 * Port or dispose all code inside #if 0...#endif blocks that remain
427 from the porting effort.
429 * Do we need SSL_set_read_ahead()?
431 * the ssl_expr api is NOT THREAD SAFE. race conditions exist:
432 -in ssl_expr_comp() if SSLRequire is used in .htaccess
433 (ssl_expr_info is global)
434 -is ssl_expr_eval() if there is an error
435 (ssl_expr_error is global)
437 * SSLRequire directive (parsing of) leaks memory
439 * Diffie-Hellman-Parameters for temporary keys are hardcoded in
440 ssl_engine_dh.c, while the comment in ssl_engine_kernel.c says:
441 "it is suggested that keys be changed daily or every 500
442 transactions, and more often if possible."
444 * ssl_var_lookup could be rewritten to be MUCH faster
446 * CRL callback should be pluggable
448 * session cache store should be pluggable
450 * init functions should return status code rather than ssl_die()
452 * ssl_engine_pphrase.c needs to be reworked so it is generic enough
453 to also decrypt proxy keys
455 * the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
456 jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
459 EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
461 Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
462 status or removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
463 'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to
464 get the modules promoted to fully supported status.
466 mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache:
468 * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable
469 cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
470 See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
472 * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
474 * mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
475 APR_HAS_ATOMIC_* feature macros.
477 * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
479 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
480 status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
481 mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
482 by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
483 mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
484 to collect status. Status should be queryable by
487 * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
488 remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
489 strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
490 and preemptively remove stale entries. How to manage a
491 cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
493 * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
496 * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
497 inclusion into httpd.conf.

826 PR#5713: os-windows [PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account
827 Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the
828 user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.
832 Other bugs that need fixing:
834 * ap_discard_request should be converted to use the bucket API
835 directly rather than waste cycles copying buffers with the old API.
837 * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
838 Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
839 "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
841 * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
842 Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
843 behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
845 OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating
846 the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only
847 <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.
849 * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
850 sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
851 there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
853 * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
854 needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
855 r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
856 byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
857 multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
858 dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.

860 likely the one to break it :-)
