| PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: |
| [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ] |
| |
| |
| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED: |
| |
| *) mod_proxy_connect: The connect method doesn't work if the client is |

| Trunk Patch: https://svn.apache.org/r813178 |
| https://svn.apache.org/r1642857 |
| https://svn.apache.org/r1670324 |
| [plus patch and changes noted above] |
| This code has evolved in trunk/2.4.x (including fixes) since the original |
| commit (r813178 in 2009), specifically r1642857 and r1670324 from 2.4.x. |
| 2.2.x old r813178 patch: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30144 |
| Delta to proposed patch: http://home.apache.org/~ylavic/patches/mod_proxy_connect-id30144_vs_r1670324.diff |
| 2.2.x Proposed Patch: http://home.apache.org/~ylavic/patches/httpd-2.2.x-mod_proxy_connect-transfer.patch |
| +1: wrowe, ylavic |
| covener: this is an awful lot of code for 2.2 for something that has just never worked. |
| ylavic: well, if it never worked, we won't break it more :) |
| the new code would be now very closed to 2.4.x's, might be |
| worth it for (one of) the latest 2.2.x release, and RIP... |
| |
| * mod_proxy_balancer: Always initialize the shared parameters of a load |
| balancer member, even if it is already used as standalone. PR 57067. |
| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.2.x-mod_proxy_balancer-lbfactor.patch |
| ylavic: trunk/2.4.x not concerned, 2.2.x only. |
| -1: ylavic |
| ylavic: After some work on PR 44736, this patch seems to not be needed, |
| each balancer has its own scorebord entry. Withdrawing for now, |
| until I get a clear reproducer. |
| |
| * mod_cache: Realign the cache_quick_handler() to behave identically |
| to the default_handler() when reacting to errors when writing to the |
| filter stack. Stops APR errors appearing in access_log as result codes. |
| Trunk patches: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1003913 |
| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-mod_cache-errorfix-22.patch |
| +1: minfrin |
| trawick: any reason it shouldn't be completely aligned with default_handler's |
| choice to return OK vs. 500? |
| rpluem: Agreed with trawick. They should behave the same. |
| |
| * modules/ldap/util_ldap.c: Correct erroneous messages |
| PR: 53402 |
| trunk and 2.4.x: Erroneous message about LDAPSharedCacheSize |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&sortby=date&revision=1096577 |
| trunk and 2.4.x: Erroneous order for the parameters |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&sortby=date&revision=627637 |
| 2.2.x patch: attached in PR 53402 (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29502) |
| +1: jailletc36 |
| -1: rjung |
| rjung: the proposed 2.2 patch also changes LDAPTrustedClientCert to OR_AUTHCFG. |
| This change seems to come from PR46541 which needs a bigger backport (r915660) |
| Note: covener commented it in the PR as "I don't think LDAPTrustedClientCert can |
| really be made usable in 2.2.". |
| rjung: I don't understand what was voted on, the backport of both revisions |
| or only the PR attachment. The latter is only about r627637. |
| covener: withdrawing my vote, I reviewed the attachment but missed the OR_AUTHCFG change. |
| jailletc36: Sorry for confusion. OR_AUTHCFG changes was not intentional. This is linked to |
| r915660 on trunk, before the 2.4 branch. I copy-pasted the AP_INIT block from |
| trunk, without seeing this change. |
| |
| * core: Support wildcards in both the directory and file components of |
| the path specified by the Include directive. |
| Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=909878&view=rev |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=917735&view=rev |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=917759&view=rev |
| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-wildcard+docs2.patch |
| Submitted by: minfrin, poirier |
| +1: minfrin, jim, poirier |
| -1: wrowe [This introduces new invalid paths which do not resolve to any |
| configuration file paths, increasing the probability of unreported |
| syntax errors to further confuse the administrator.] |
| |
| * srclib/pcre and vendor/pcre |
| http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/pkg-pcre.html |
| |
| update to pcre-7.8 |
| outcome: remove from trunk, leave alone in branches/2.2.x and branches/2.0.x |
| |
| * core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests |
| with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to |
| original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests |
| with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or |
| providers are not registered as permitting this optimization. |
| Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration |
| which can accept additional mode and flag data. Convert common |
| provider version strings to macros. |
| The core purpose of this pile of patches is to avoid unnecessary |
| authn/z hooks when a single request spawns large numbers of internal |
| requests to which an identical set of httpd configurations apply. |
| This permits modules such as mod_authn_dbd and mod_dav to work together |
| acceptably. |
| Because certain external modules such as mod_authz_svn rely on the old |
| behaviour, this optimization can be made only when all authn/z hooks and |
| providers are registered with the appropriate flag. |
| It would be excellent if Windows and NetWare people could ensure this |
| builds correctly. |
| In particular, mod_auth.h must be included into request.c and I've left |
| mod_auth.h under modules/aaa rather than try to replicate wrowe's work |
| in trunk moving all the include files around. |
| I'm open to suggestions that this remain in trunk only, but in that case, |
| it would be very helpful to know whether most people expect a 2.4 branch |
| or just a 3.0 branch to be next. If 3.0, some of the backwards |
| compatibility work could potentially be ditched. |

| Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: |
| http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/walk_cache/walk_cache-2.2.x.patch |
| +1: chrisd |
| -0: jim (would prefer to see in 2.4, and to push 2.4 out) |
| |
| * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when |
| entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). |
| Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed. |
| Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules' |
| child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd). |
| Trunk version of patch: |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491922 |
| 2.2.x version of patch: |
| http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mpm_child_init-beos-2.2.x.patch |
| +0: chrisd (abstaining; unable to test) |
| |
| * prefork MPM: simple patch to enable mod_privileges. |
| trunk: N/A (this patch substitutes for the availability of |
| drop_privileges hook). |
| 2.2.x patch: |
| http://people.apache.org/~niq/patches/2.2mod_privileges-core-patch |
| +1: niq, igalic |
| |
| * unixd: set suexec_enabled correctly when httpd is run by non-root |
| PR 42175 |
| Trunk Patch: http://cvs.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=791337 |
| 2.2.x Patch: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=20004 |
| +1: niq |
| -0: wrowe; Please refer to man 'access' BUGS section about linux 2.4 |
| vs 2.6 kernels, potentially a suspect test for root. |
| sf: Couldn't the linux 2.4 bug be worked around by calling access |
| twice? Once with R_OK and once with X_OK. |
| wrowe: It would seem we only need to test for X_OK? |
| |
| * mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is |
| a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response |
| from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses. |
| Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=951222&view=rev |
| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-cache-partial-2.2.patch |
| +1: minfrin |
| niq asks: I can see the logic of not cacheing partial responses, |
| but why should mod_disk_cache worry about them if mod_cache allows |
| them, as in the following proposal? |
| rpluem says: As poirier correctly mentions, the same must be done for mod_mem_cache |
| as well. |
| |
| *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial |
| Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206 |
| was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or |
| Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing. |
| Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=952823&view=rev |
| 2.2.x Patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-cache-partial2-2.2.patch |
| +1: minfrin |
| -1: rpluem: Until the patch proposal above for mod_disk_cache is backported |
| and a similar patch for mod_mem_cache is proposed (no backport |
| possible since mod_mem_cache is no longer in trunk) and |
| committed. |
| |
| * mod_proxy: Release the backend connection as soon as EOS is detected, |
| so the backend isn't forced to wait for the client to eventually |
| acknowledge the data. |
| Trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1026665 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1030850 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1030855 |
| http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1035605 |
| 2.2.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-mod_proxy-closeearly22-4.patch |
| +1: minfrin |
| +1: jim (requires mmn bump due to proxy_conn_rec) |
| rpluem says: r1052224 r1052314 need to be added as well as the patch above |
| has a thread safety issue. |
| minfrin: r1055246 needs to be added to r1052314 to ensure the cleanup |
| isn't attempted twice. |
| rpluem says: Mind to update the 2.2.x version of the patch with r1052224, |
| r1052314, r1055246 and r1055570 (Comment fix by Jim)? |
| |
| * cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be |
| compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler. |
| Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected. |
| Since PCRE is included with 2.2.x this patch also takes care for dftables. |

| 2.2 patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.2.x-cross_compile.diff |
| fuankg: on hold until we agree for a better and more simple solution ... |
