| |
| |
| CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: |
| |
| * 34 status: Let's get all API changes and showstoppers in this one. |
| Please. |
| |
| FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: |
| |
| * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration |
| scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc, |
| httpd-std.conf points to conf.) |
| Aaron says: This is not a showstopper, these problems have existed |
| for as long as I can remember. It would be nice to fix |
| them but they are not new. |
| Not a showstopper: Jeff, Aaron, BillS, gregames, Jim |
| |
| CURRENT VOTES: |
| |
| * Should we always build [support*] binaries statically unless otherwise |
| indicated? |
| Message-ID: <20020129210006.B23512@Lithium.MeepZor.Com> |
| |
| +1: Ken, *wrowe [they are PITAs on OSX] |
| -1: Justin, Ian |
| |
| * If the parent process dies, should the remaining child processes |
| "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime |
| option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a |
| "hot spare"). |
| See: Message-ID: <3C58232C.FE91F19F@Golux.Com> |
| |
| Self-destruct: Ken, Martin |
| Not self-destruct: BrianP, Ian, Cliff, BillS |
| Make it runtime configurable: Aaron, Jim, Justin |
| Have 2 parents: +1: Jim |
| -1: Justin, wrowe [for 2.0] |
| +0: Martin (while standing by, could it do |
| something useful?) |
| |
| * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes. |
| +1: Justin, Ian, Cliff |
| -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars |
| |
| RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP: |
| * ap_cache_hex2msec() and ap_cache_msec2hex() are completely |
| hosed. They do not handle apr_time_t (64 bit ints) properly. |
| |
| * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is |
| scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this |
| r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very |
| end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters |
| know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older |
| modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and |
| robustness of 2.0. |
| |
| Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments... |
| Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net> |
| [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant |
| as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in |
| default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)" |
| and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.] |
| |
| gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module |
| being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against |
| potential broken modules? It seems futile. |
| wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken. |
| But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file |
| walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either |
| or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage. |
| |
| * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support |
| it with predictable results as it is implemented now. |
| |
| * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new |
| types. |
| Status: Aaron has converted all but the perchild MPM to |
| use the new lock API. Since perchild has been put |
| on the back burner, this is no longer a showstopper. |
| Aaron will patch perchild as soon as it becomes |
| buildable again. |
| |
| * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me |
| how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked |
| correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to |
| get the content that had already been written and the socket at |
| 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. |
| Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org> |
| |
| * Can a static httpd be built reliably? |
| Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org> |
| |
| * [Ken] Test suite failures: |
| o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests |
| (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>): |
| Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here. |
| If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced |
| outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I |
| think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem." |
| Not a showstopper: Justin |
| |
| * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be |
| removed if possible. |
| Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu> |
| |
| * 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, |
| the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to |
| modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved |
| back when this is fixed. rbb |
| Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here |
| forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with |
| autoconf or m4?" |
| Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames |
| |
| * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the |
| administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime) |
| extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted |
| before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of |
| filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems |
| like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release. |
| Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?" |
| Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron, |
| gregames |
| |
| * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This |
| will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket |
| descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed |
| on dev@apr: |
| Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org> |
| |
| * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX. |
| Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com> |
| |
| Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this |
| on all platforms and clean up our build system |
| somewhat. |
| Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in |
| January that you were going to commit within a few |
| days. |
| |
| * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0 |
| completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see |
| ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed |
| through in the query string, however. Roy says the |
| original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago, |
| was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to |
| a filesystem location and which might be tricked by |
| ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the |
| form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'. |
| Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path |
| segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least |
| allow it conditionally with a directive. |
| |
| * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine |
| if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add |
| a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be |
| lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with |
| the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced). |
| More examination and analysis is required. |
| Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin. |
| Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus) |
| |
| Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same |
| problem. Yum. If another platform has this |
| with worker, this becomes a showstopper. |
| Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to |
| the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM |
| (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker). |
| I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone |
| else wants to pick up where I've left off: |
| - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child |
| processes will send it into an infinite loop as well. |
| - Even though the parent is spinning out of control, |
| at first the child or children will appear to work |
| properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state, |
| however, where a request will hang until another concurrent |
| request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will |
| hang. My theory is that this has to do with the |
| pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still |
| possible that it is in APR. |
| |
| Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with |
| select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare. |
| So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread |
| scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to |
| the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between |
| our select() calls and their select() calls. |
| *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r |
| files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful |
| when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't |
| waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet |
| those decrementing select calls have to do with the |
| scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals. |
| |
| * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API |
| that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl. |
| Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if |
| an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera. |
| Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard? |
| rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism |
| for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent |
| and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that |
| can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs, |
| it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful |
| and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe |
| to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to |
| figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs. |
| |
| * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This |
| allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed |
| by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply |
| <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible |
| and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would |
| not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as |
| server-info or server-status. |
| This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias. |
| |
| * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache |
| goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the |
| child's-child processes in the parent process. |
| OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed? |
| stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good |
| way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes |
| and whack them if the child goes down. |
| Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel |
| have also been proposed on APR. |
| |
| * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or |
| the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad |
| death (non-zero exit code) in console mode. |
| Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20 |
| |
| * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0: |
| |
| The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The |
| remaining work includes: |
| (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic |
| (2) Enabling SSL extentions |
| (3) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl - |
| This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https |
| filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required. |
| |
| * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid |
| |
| * 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) |
| |
| * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC. |
| |
| * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since |
| the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not |
| necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to |
| rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library |
| for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration. |
| Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain |
| useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it, |
| do we address the issue above? |
| |
| * Integrate mod_dav. |
| Some additional items remaining: |
| - case_preserved_filename stuff |
| (use the new canonical name stuff?) |
| - find a new home for ap_text(_header) |
| - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml? |
| |
| * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache |
| are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility |
| function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or |
| something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after |
| "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the |
| translation has decided to do. |
| Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1 |
| |
| * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which |
| calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and |
| ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()] |
| |
| * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary) |
| |
| * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack |
| |
| * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put |
| into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0. |
| |
| * shift stuff to mod_core.h |
| |
| * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value |
| for failure (Doug volunteers) |
| |
| * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work |
| (at least) needs to be done: |
| - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in |
| rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or |
| randomization in APR itself. |
| - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it |
| actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code. |
| |
| * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with |
| -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the |
| entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but |
| this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT |
| autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to |
| search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's |
| link flags. |
| |
| * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead |
| of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom) |
| |
| * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable |
| cacheing the response w/o header "field_name" |
| See RFC2616 section 14.9.1 |
| |
| * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that |
| proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on |
| some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but |
| later recanted. See this message to dev@apr.apache.org: |
| Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0203011354090.16457-200000@deepthought |

| Other bugs that need fixing: |
| |
| * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests. |
| Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it |
| "MaxConnectionsPerChild". |
| |
| * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way |
| Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this |
| behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers |
| completely. |
| OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating |
| the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only |
| <ContainerMatch foo> semantics. |
| |
| * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a |
| sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless |
| there is hope soon for a fixed glibc. |
| |
| * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be |
| needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into |
| r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the |
| byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the |
| multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is |
| dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff. |
| Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most |
| likely the one to break it :-) |
| |
| Other features that need writing: |
| |
| * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs |
| Status: post 2.0 |
| |
| * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there |
| |
| Available Patches: |
| |
| * Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe |
| issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net> |
| Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished |
| so that we know exactly what is required. |

| htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have |
| similar problems?) |

| Status: |
| |
| * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve |
| performance |
| Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to |

| |
| * Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and |
| other small mod_usertrack features |
| |
| * Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt |
| of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in |
| PR6193 |
| |
| Open issues: |
| |
| * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0? |
