2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive (at least) needs to be done:
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive is not available on 95/98.
af4c982a7cf4515f124935f99a329744035fc699slive * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
531c23ff01a2489646f0a2029097013b328d935agstein CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
ed1ca4464f560f821f3bb7dab90c3afba08cab86coar we access the logs?
b987f4ce325978badc75b633660911bd6a2855eatrawick * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
b987f4ce325978badc75b633660911bd6a2855eatrawick into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
b987f4ce325978badc75b633660911bd6a2855eatrawick parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
b987f4ce325978badc75b633660911bd6a2855eatrawick Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb also seem out of sorts.

79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick Status: The best known candidate would be something from
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
ec75f189410513ab8f6e1173a9d9d277ebec9ce7gstein a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
ec75f189410513ab8f6e1173a9d9d277ebec9ce7gsteinRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
ec75f189410513ab8f6e1173a9d9d277ebec9ce7gstein * Create unified scoreboard API and implementation shared across
ec75f189410513ab8f6e1173a9d9d277ebec9ce7gstein * Document mod_file_cache.
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe pthread MPMs will not build.
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
dc96a5e6f9af3c514df4c61ab9468fcf97f9846fwrowe close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard platforms that do not support fork.
d57551cb28450661e77394ec332cf25b0f63aae1trawick * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
c3a2c6ae9a1c7f37d672a54c2c9a1b4f7941085btrawick remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
c3a2c6ae9a1c7f37d672a54c2c9a1b4f7941085btrawick 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
c3a2c6ae9a1c7f37d672a54c2c9a1b4f7941085btrawick * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
d57551cb28450661e77394ec332cf25b0f63aae1trawick People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
c3a2c6ae9a1c7f37d672a54c2c9a1b4f7941085btrawick it would be nice to actually do so.
33a70d93b992bbb63b809c24df29451f38f017c1rbb * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
809cf6f87f7a07b348f6d69961834923bc16313egstein would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
46b9575c45e6e65788ec5b6362b1560737c12060jwoolley duplicates what is in APR.
af9f2bd7837c251df865825e03ad192e5c6aee18jim Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
ca21f4d2622a817d3cb3204210afb6c586d5d7acrbb something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
809cf6f87f7a07b348f6d69961834923bc16313egstein process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
809cf6f87f7a07b348f6d69961834923bc16313egstein process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
410912d9cb56a09a74f8655647ed9e81d49023f4gregames * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
410912d9cb56a09a74f8655647ed9e81d49023f4gregames loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
410912d9cb56a09a74f8655647ed9e81d49023f4gregames system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@covalenet.net> is working on this.
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
7239216999e746bb4fc7671621becea33c5c1c87stoddard * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
d180ec1b29106f4fec480ef7fcdb04df078010cerse * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley implementations (including something like the existing data type,
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley Status: fanf is working on this.
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley * configuration option to use *DBM

3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley * add SDBM into src/lib/sdbm/ as a default/fallback DBM implementation.
d180ec1b29106f4fec480ef7fcdb04df078010cerse SDBM is used by Perl, mod_dav, mod_sssl, others for basic DBM support.

7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard Some additional items remaining:
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard - case_preserved_filename stuff
49facccad3f5c3e9e49311487b5069699c3bf3fdjwoolley - fix and re-enable sdbm_lock.c
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static are a bit wonky.
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something).
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley would allow mod_mmap_static to munge what the translation has
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley decided to do.
