CURRENT RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
+ * Handling of non-trailing / config by non-default handler is broken
+ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105451701628081&w=2
+
+ * the edge connection filter cannot be removed

+ * bug in ap_get_client_block (wrong handling of EOS)
+ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=105281649228629&w=2
CURRENT VOTES:
- * Adopt backwards compatibility for future Apache 2.0 releases
- such that MMN major number changes and eliminating non-experimental
- modules are deferred for the next minor version bump (e.g. 2.1, 2.2
- or 3.0).

- * Defer the Auth module overhaul to the next minor version bump
- (e.g. 2.1, 2.2, 3.0) on the condition that forward compatibility
- resolution is adopted.
- +1: wrowe, aaron, trawick, stoddard, jwoolley, rbowen, gregames,
- rederpj, jim
- 0: jerenkrantz
- -1: striker
-
- * Adopt an even/odd release paradigm (see VERSIONING) such that
- even numbered releases are stable, and odd numbered releases
- are development efforts, keeping in the tradition of Linux,
- Perl, etc. In pratical terms, this implies C-T-R-T-C, where
- patches are (generally) first applied to the development branch,
- tested, and then (after vote) applied to the stable branch.

+ * Promote mod_cache from experimental to non-experimental
+ status (keep issues noted below in EXPERIMENTAL MODULES as
+ items to be addressed as a supported module).
+ +1: jim, bnicholes
+ -0: jerenkrantz
+ -1: stoddard
+ There are a couple of problems that need to be resolved
+ before this module is moved out of experimental.
+ 1) We need to at least review and comment on the RFC violations
+ 2) Resolve issue of how to cache page fragements (or perhaps -if- we
+ want to cache page fragements). Today, mod_cache/mod_mem_cache
+ will cache #include 'virtual' requests (but not #include 'file'
+ requests). This was accomplished by making CACHE_IN a
+ CONTENT_SET-1 filter to force it to run before the SUBREQ_CORE
+ filter. But now responses cannot be cached that include the
+ effects of having been run through CONTENT_SET filters
+ (mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc). We could rerun all the
+ CONTENT_SET filters on the cached response, but this will not
+ work in all cases. For example, mod_expires relies on installing
+ the EXPIRATION filter during fixups. Contents served out of
+ mod_cache (out of the quick_handler) bypass -all- the request
+ line server hooks (Ryan really hated this. It is great for
+ performance, but bad because of the complications listed above).
+
+
+ jerenkrantz: There are a slew of RFC compliance bugs filed in Bugzilla
+ for mod_cache (see 'RFC 2616 violations' below). I think
+ fixing them is a pre-requisite before it isn't experimental.
* httpd-std.conf and friends
a) httpd-std.conf should be tailored by install (from src or
binbuild) even if user has existing httpd.conf

+ +1: trawick, slive, gregames, ianh, Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd,

wrowe - prefer httpd.default.conf to avoid ambiguity with cvs
b) tailored httpd-std.conf should be copied by install to
c) tailored httpd-std.conf should be installed to
sysconfdir/examples or manualdir/exampleconf/
- +1: slive, trawick, Ken
+ +1: slive, trawick, Ken, nd (prefer the latter), erikabele
d) Installing a set of default config files when upgrading a server
doesn't make ANY sense at all.
+1: ianh - medium/big sites don't use 'standard config' anyway, as it
usually needs major customizations
- -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim
+ -1: Ken, wrowe, jwoolley, jim, nd, erikabele
wrowe - diff is wonderful when comparing old/new default configs,
even for customized sites that ianh mentions
jim - ... assuming that the default configs have been updated
"hot spare").

RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
+ * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
+ There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
+ (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
+ nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
+ subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
+ - swallow EOS buckets
+ - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
+ filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
+ point.
+ Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
+ it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
+
+ * RFC 2616 violations.
+ Closed PRs: 15857.
+ Open PRs: 15852, 15859, 15861, 15864, 15865, 15866, 15868, 15869,
+ 15870, 16120, 16125, 16126, 16133, 16135, 16136, 16137,
+ 16138, 16139, 16140, 16142, 16518, 16520, 16521,
+ jerenkrantz says: need to decide how many we need to backport and/or
+ if these rise to showstopper status.
+ wrowe suggests: it would be nice to see "MUST" v.s. "SHOULD" v.s. "MAY"
+ out of this list, without reviewing them individually.
+
* There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
* pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
- for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains".
+ for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
* All handlers should always send content down even if r->header_only
is set. If not, it means that the HEAD requests don't generate the
the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be
fixed.
- * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no
- sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was
- you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
- if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1
- ':' character.

* Can a static httpd be built reliably?
Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org>
* Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
Common logging API.
- * Document mod_file_cache.
-
* Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
- * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
- would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
- duplicates what is in APR.
-
* There are still a number of places in the code where we are
losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought

+ * When sufficiently tested, the AllowEncodedSlashes/%2f patch
+ needs to be backported to 2.0 and 1.3.
+
+ * APXS either needs to be fixed completely for use when apr is out of tree,
+ or it should drop query mode altogether, and we just grow an
+ httpd-config or similar arrangement.
+ To quote a discussion in STATUS earlier:
+
+ thommay: this doesn't fix all the problems with apxs and out of
+ tree apr/apr-util, but it's a good start. There's still the
+ query cases; but I'm beginning to think that in these cases
+ the app should be querying ap{r,u}-config directly
+ gstein: agreed. apxs should deprecate the -q flag
+
TODO ISSUES REMAINING IN MOD_SSL:
* In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
* the shmcb code should just align its memory segment rather than
jumping through all the "safe" memcpy and memset hoops
+WISH LIST
+ * mod_proxy performance: when mod_proxy is configured to do proxy
+ gateway (aka reverse proxy), it would be nice to be able to reuse
+ connections to the backend servers. Now, connections to the
+ backend servers are taken down when the corresponding frontend
+ connection is taken down.
+
+ * mod_proxy: Ability to run SSL over proxy gateway connections,
+ encrypting (or reencrypting) at the proxy.
+
+ * mod_proxy: Add capability of mod_proxy to load balance across
+ a farm of backend servers.
+
+ * mod_cache: Handle ESI tags.
EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
+ * mod_mem_cache: Consider adding a RevalidateTimeout directive to
+ specify time at which local cached content is to be revalidated
+ (ie, underlying file stat'ed to see if it has changed).
+
* mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
* mod_cache: Fix dependency on ATOMIC operators. Need
(mod_cache: CacheForceCompletion).
mod_auth_ldap/util_ldap:
-
- * implement cross-platform/cross-library TLS support
-
* General stabilization and testing
