| <H2>Apache Bugs List / To Do List / Wish List</H2> |
| |
| <hr> |
| <p><strong>THIS LIST IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY OUT OF DATE. But nobody |
| ever gets around to cleaning it up... because we've got an entirely |
| different method of tracking these things. The real todo lists are |
| in STATUS messages regularly posted to the new-httpd mailing list, |
| and available in the STATUS file in the root of each development |
| tree (1.2, 1.3, and 2.0). The todo also includes various bugs in |
| the <a href="http://bugs.apache.org/">bug database</a>.</strong> |

| |
| <STRONG>BUGS</STRONG> |
| |
| <UL> |
| |
| <LI>Fix -f command lines to take paths correctly. I know this is a |
| bugwards compatibility with NCSA, but I don't like it and think we |
| should change it. - beb |
| |
| <LI>AddDescription, and other mod_dir cleanups - beb |
| |
| </UL> |
| |
| <STRONG>To Do List</STRONG> |
| |
| <UL> |
| |
| <LI>Protocol Abstraction - so that SSL, SHTTP, and PCT can be plugged |
| in as modules, and distributed separately without needing to patch |
| core Apache code. Also hopefully HTTP-NG. - beb |
| |
| <LI>authentication API, to make authentication type and database type orthogonal - beb |
| |
| <LI>More tolerant config-file parsing - beb |
| |
| <LI>Formalized internal error-logging system, like sendmail/syslogd |
| interaction - beb |
| |
| </UL> |
| |
| <STRONG>Wish List</STRONG> |
| |
| <UL> |
| |
| <LI>Scripted installation process, i.e. one that asks questions about |
| the site and generates the conf files appropriately - beb |
| |
| <LI>Enable logging of all "POST"ed data - for commercial-database-like |
| backups and replay ability. - beb |
| |
| <LI>Configurable Error Reporting |
| <UL> |
| <LI>Separate logs for stderr and server error messages |
| </UL> |
| |
| <LI>Dynamic Package builder - so that people can download binaries |
| with exactly the options and packages they want. - beb |
| |
| <LI>Implementation of the "LINK" Method - beb |
| |
| <LI>Data store abstraction API? So we're not always presuming we sit on top of a filesystem. - beb |
| |
| <LI>Port to BeBox - beb |
| |
| <LI>give an "Option", like "IncludesNoExec", except allow for CGI includes, |
| not CMD includes. -beb, and others |
| |
| </UL> |
| |
| <H2>Documentation needed on:</H2> |
| |
| <UL> |
| <LI>Standards for Modules - beb |
| <LI>CGI Extensions - beb |
| <LI>Setting up logging and logfile analysis system - beb |
| <LI>DBM documentation: explain about having username/group in same file - mjc |
| <LI>MSQL documentation -dv |
| <LI>Policy - what it takes for a module to move from contrib to the regular distribution. - aw |
| </UL> |
