| Contributors looking for a mission: |
| |
| * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. |
| |
| * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ |
| |
| * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: |
| |
| https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable |

| |
| |
| 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_http2 |
| . mod_lua |
| . documentation |
| . non-Unix build |
| . non-Unix, single-platform code |
| |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch |
| +1: jkaluza, jim |
| jchampion: Looks like the headers require GCC extensions to compile, so |

| Can anyone else reproduce, or is it just my distro? |
| |

| +1: jchampion |
| |
| *) core: Disallow multiple Listen on the same IP:port when listener buckets |

| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE BEING WORKED |
| [ New entried should be added at the START of the list ] |
| |
| *) mod_ssl: Return 502 instead of 500 when SSL peer check or |
| proxy_post_handshake hook fails. |
| Trunk patch: r1645529 (works) |
| 2.4.x patch which adds CHANGES: https://emptyhammock.com/media/downloads/r1645529-to-2.4.x.txt |
| +1: trawick |
| ylavic: there may be missing bits, see thread for commit r1736510. |
| |
| *) core: Drop an invalid Last-Modified header value coming |
| from a (F)CGI script instead of replacing it with Unix epoch. |
| Warn the users about Last-Modified header value replacements |
| and violations of the RFC. |

| 2.4.x: trunk patches work, final view: |
| http://home.apache.org/~elukey/httpd-2.4.x-core-last_modified_tz_logging.patch |
| The problem has been discussed in dev@ extensively but we did not reach a common |
| agreement about how to proceed in the long term. While we wait, I would really like |
| to introduce useful logs for the users (the starting point of this change was a users@ |
| email thread). If this is not the right way to go I will move the patch to other |
| sections of STATUS (stalled or being worked). |
| The code has been tested with a simple PHP script returning different Last-Modified |
| headers (GMT now, GMT now Europe/Paris, GMT tomorrow, GMT yesterday, PST now). |
| +1: elukey |
| |
| *) 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). |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1678215 |
| 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. |
| |
| * 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... |
| |
| * mod_dav: Allow other modules to become providers and add ACLs |
| to the DAV response. Requires a release of apr-util v1.6. |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1748322 |
| 2.4.x: trunk works modulo CHANGES/MMN |
| +1: minfrin |
| rpluem asks: Will this compile with apr-util < v1.6 and keep |
| mod_dav working (without the new features of the patch of course)? |
| I doubt that we will require apr-util 1.6 for the lifetime of 2.4.x |
| (see the discussion around ap_cstr_casecmp[n] an apr 1.6) |
| minfrin: Yes, as you can see in the patch everything applies only |
| if APR_XML_X2T_PARSED is defined, and the patch was tested with |
| both apr-util v1.6 and apr-util v1.5. |
| -1: jorton, breaks binary backwards compat per dev@ discuss |
| msgid <20160902120654.GA12674@redhat.com> |
| (& also, making the structure change with apr-util version |
| means it breaks binary compat across an apr-util upgrade?) |
| |
| * Support PCRE2 (10.x) in place of PCRE (8.x). |
| Submitted by: wrowe, Petr Pisar [ppisar redhat.com] |
| trunk patches: |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773454 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773741 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773742 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773839 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773870 |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1773882 |
| wrowe notes that the current code is too inefficient, owing to the fact |
| that the ovector is a required allocation and is no longer allocated on |
| the stack, by design. The correct fix is an apr userdata allocation on |
| the appropriate pool, which would be thread-safe, but the actual API of |
| ap_regexec[_len]() offers us no pool. We cannot associate that pool with |
| the ap_regex_t, because a single regex may be used by many threads in |
| parallel and is not thread-safe beyond initialization. |
| So the only fix allowing us to use PCRE 10 in httpd 2.4 would be to write |
| this as a thread safe storage buffer for the majority of cases (<10 $args) |
| and we don't have a portable tls mechanism to do so. |
| |
| |
| PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED |
| |
| * 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. |

| needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual) |
| trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writing to syslog */" |
| (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely) |
| jim: What is the status of this?? |
| |
| * 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. |

| +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? |

| 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 satisfied 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? |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~covener/patches/2.4.x-define-limits.diff |
| +1: covener (I need to review the docs manually in this area) |
| -1: wrowe (blocking will break "working" .conf files on a subversion update |
| meant to pick up security fixes. "Alerting" I would agree to.) |
