| CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: |
| |
| * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such |
| that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can |
| only be made in the trunk. |
| |
| * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, |
| as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk |
| then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable. |
| |
| * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch: |
| . http/2 - mod_h2 |
| . mod_lua |
| . documentation |
| . non-Unix build |
| . non-Unix, single-platform code |
| |

| PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: |
| [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ] |
| |
| * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This |
| backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds |
| API to allow other modules to be used for error logging. |

| +1: jkaluza |
| +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders, |
| needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual) |
| trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writting to syslog */" |
| (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely) |
| jim: What is the status of this?? |
| |
| * mod_journald: Add new module mod_journald to log error logs into journald. |
| This patch needs changes done in mod_systemd patch (already |
| proposed for 2.4.x). |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1610339 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1621806 |
| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch |
| +1: jkaluza, jim |
| minfrin: Not understanding "This patch needs changes done in |
| mod_systemd patch", am I right in understanding this patch is |
| already committed? |
| |
| *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if |
| it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous |
| behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting |
| the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which |
| comes for free with the same commit). |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch |
| +1: ylavic, jim |
| ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two |
| ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge |
| does a minor bump only. |
| minfrin: Two new directives need to be documented. |

| to avoid reusing it should the close be effective after some new request |
| is ready to be sent. |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1678763 |

| 2.4.x patch: trunk works (module CHANGES) |

| ylavic: while at it, I also included r1678763 which is only an |

| * MPMs: Follow up to r1705492 (SO_REUSEPORT). Add missing (and harmless) |

| 2.4.x patch: trunk works |

| |
| |
| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE BEING WORKED |
| |
| * mod_proxy_http: Don't establish or reuse a backend connection before pre- |
| fetching the request body, so to minimize the delay between it is supposed |
| to be alive and the first bytes sent: this is a best effort to prevent the |
| backend from closing because of idle or keepalive timeout in the meantime. |
| Also, handle a new "proxy-flushall" environment variable which allows to |
| flush any forwarded body data immediately. PR 56541+37920. |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1656259 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1656359 (CHANGES entry) |
| 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags) |
| +1: ylavic |
| -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an |
| error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is |
| expensive, and is always done, even before we know that |
| the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the |
| error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus |
| it seems to allow for a DDoS vector). |
| ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the |
| connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the |
| client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch |
| these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any |
| difference (more cycles) compared with the current code. |
| However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when |
| the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this. |
| Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just |
| make it nonblocking (by default)? |
| jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle... |
| |
| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED |
| |
| * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch |
| and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers |
| with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers |
| in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not |
| matched and used for request. PR 43513. |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1609680 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1609688 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1641381 |
| ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call). |
| Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset. |
| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch |
| +1: ylavic |
| -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function |
| really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences? |
| Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline? |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff |
| +1 fuankg, gsmith |
| -.8: trawick |
| This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on |
| Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages. |
| To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts |
| of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation |
| is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness |
| is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe |
| that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the |
| place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems |
| for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection |
| of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks |
| once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache |
| messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that. |
| fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now |
| make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those |
| who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware |
| of any risks (this should cover your last point). |
| jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns? |
| trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea) |
| Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead |
| of described indirectly in a sample? |
| Why are these new samples added to the install without three |
| votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two |
| existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people |
| considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a |
| real httpd usability problem.) |
| wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin |
| their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like |
| the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but |
| there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none |
| of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new |
| cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples |
| might work? |
