bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the security and robustness of 2.0.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes internal processing phase from the run request phase.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes back when this is fixed. rbb
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes filename extensions. Add...FilterByType will add to this quandry.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Some sort of resolution needs to be proposed,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: Bill has some code in his tree that accomplishes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes this, and will commit it Friday after it's tested.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives. MaxClients in
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * revamp the input filter semantics, per discussions since
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes February (and especially at the hackathon last
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes *up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes connection (buggering up persistent conns).
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl, and
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes mod_proxy are switched to the new logic.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes However, ap_getline() still needs to be refactored out. But,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes there's a problem there: ap_getline() peeks ahead for MIME
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes continuation (first character on line is space or \t) and
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes stores unused data in core_request_config which violates the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes abstraction. That's cheating. So, we may not be able to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes implement this without setting some data aside (yuck!).
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes I believe this is OtherBill's main complaint with the current
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes AIUI (correct me if I'm wrong!), OtherBill believes we
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes should have a pushback option so that we can return unread
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes data - this would solve this case. However, my question to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes him is how do we handle stuff like mod_ssl - we can't "unread"
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes data. So, do we have two brigades for each filter? An in
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes brigade and a returned brigade? That seems messy. To
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes everyone else, can we refactor ap_getline() without pushback
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - socket bucket and core input filter changes. see end of

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This can't wait until we have a 2.0-gold release, if folks need
41022996c916eb4ab2ec3204eb491b64779eb100bnicholes to move over to auth_dbm, we can't do that to them after 2.0 gold.
41022996c916eb4ab2ec3204eb491b64779eb100bnicholes * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new

41022996c916eb4ab2ec3204eb491b64779eb100bnicholes Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
036436f4f4cdcd76186c0058891216545967043bbnicholes to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
41022996c916eb4ab2ec3204eb491b64779eb100bnicholes LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
41022996c916eb4ab2ec3204eb491b64779eb100bnicholes platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholesRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Source code should follow style guidelines.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This shouldn't wait until we have a 2.0-gold release because
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes then style corrections will conflict with bug fixes found after
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes release which is not nice.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes server-info or server-status.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes remaining work includes:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (3) Enabling SSL extentions
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes optimization working in worker. prefork's new design for how
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
56ab8639aed4d3b2f031d9c1160c5f40af01bdebjerenkrantz * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
286fed73f9d1474652034465d4048247c6e7341fbnicholes malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
56ab8639aed4d3b2f031d9c1160c5f40af01bdebjerenkrantz not a hard requirement.
56ab8639aed4d3b2f031d9c1160c5f40af01bdebjerenkrantz Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
56ab8639aed4d3b2f031d9c1160c5f40af01bdebjerenkrantz been discussed at length for months, but since
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes several people expressed the opinion that we should
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
4f935de4900dc064a1e145be5e48f6af77ac24fcbnicholes need their own memory management (free list) functions.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes have something to look at/compare with.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
e961abd49ab1b184b356f63591d37083a5651451bnicholes in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Common logging API.
440cda576ca9ff6476e4a04bdb253c5023da15eejerenkrantz * Document mod_file_cache.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
6f2fa094a76c27135a9825ca9492f9db0a1a3bc9bnicholes in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
3163ad7b2076b0f6961dc1a1ddaa06b240eecb7cjorton duplicates what is in APR.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
9558e9fdb620dd6f42ca93beac6c3ab734086706bnicholes * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
9558e9fdb620dd6f42ca93beac6c3ab734086706bnicholes the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
9558e9fdb620dd6f42ca93beac6c3ab734086706bnicholes necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
9558e9fdb620dd6f42ca93beac6c3ab734086706bnicholes rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
9558e9fdb620dd6f42ca93beac6c3ab734086706bnicholes for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: Mladen Turk has posted several patches and ideas.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Key question, part of htpasswd, or a seperate utility?
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes prefer htpasswd:

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Will says: "bs - I may choose the fastest - most efficient native
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes dbm implementation, for shared proc caches, ssl session
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes caching, etc, but that has nothing to do with maintaining
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes a userlist via dbm, which has to remain readable between
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes builds/machines, etc. The use-multiple database schema
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes for apr-util would let us do this with just apr, though."
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Integrate mod_dav.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Some additional items remaining:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - case_preserved_filename stuff
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (use the new canonical name stuff?)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes translation has decided to do.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (at least) needs to be done:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes is not available on 95/98.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes randomization in APR itself.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
