5c62008dee307058a7f70511bf260fdea6f5b1d6Andreas Gustafsson * Generic Hooks are absolutely wrong in linkage, they are declared as
35b61b8fb1f377ec9b68bbc8e4e43fbd2756a04dAndreas Gustafsson exported from APU, but actually exported from modules. This needs
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson heavy fixup, which Bill will do on the plane tommorow. The actual
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson 'Apache' declaration is in Apache's files, with the 'explicit linkage'
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson flavor in apr-util. (Unless you folks will finally buckle and accept
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson the linkspec in hook declarations. I'm not holding my breath.)

074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson Status: FirstBill will fix this?
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
074ae7bf0993ced96b32e3e85553a401f3f3eca9Andreas Gustafsson (at least) needs to be done:
322445da85b6a318cb2506d216442b3e5af7c3c0Andreas Gustafsson - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
533df4efdafcf7a8b7292a298f45df9ab7f7f7f9Mark Andrews specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
533df4efdafcf7a8b7292a298f45df9ab7f7f7f9Mark Andrews - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson is not available on 95/98.
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
692f5c282d13b6a0276e5a60c87ab4af013d3b80Mark Andrews * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
692f5c282d13b6a0276e5a60c87ab4af013d3b80Mark Andrews native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
692f5c282d13b6a0276e5a60c87ab4af013d3b80Mark Andrews CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
47871e33fb84e286e8e938caa1fccd18deee0d0dAndreas Gustafsson we access the logs?
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson also seem out of sorts.
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson OtherBill is working on this and will finish over the weekend.
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson Status: The best known candidate would be something from
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson administrator to remove or reorder filters. Once a filter is added
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson * remove the --disable-shared from the subdir config of APR(UTIL)
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson before the final release. (in fact, it might even be nice to
8f9d22f92aae318244392e217bd53c6173ee6079Andreas Gustafsson allow for Apache config/build against an already-installed
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson Note: we need to do a "make install" for APR(UTIL) so the shared
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson libraries can be installed properly. We could also use that
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson point to install include files (rather than have Apache
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson know everything that needs to be installed from the
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson sub-packages). The original impetus for doing the
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson disable-shared was because the shared lib wasn't getting
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson installed and a "make clean" in aprutil would make Apache
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson * users who want to install third-party modules into the Apache
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson source tree (for static linking) need to have autoconf and
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson libtool installed. This is because the module needs to have its
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson config.m4 incorporated into ./configure, which means "buildconf"
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson Note: This is in part because we have removed the "extra" directory.
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson In the Apache-2.0 repository, this directory had a config.m4
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson file that allowed people to add external modules by
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson specifying --with-module on the configure line.
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson * ap_vrprintf() needs to handle more than 4K

4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be
4e0ab18258915b14c163aa9087390402f5ff599bAndreas Gustafsson disabled for non-GET requests.

a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas GustafssonRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
47871e33fb84e286e8e938caa1fccd18deee0d0dAndreas Gustafsson * mod_include doesn't stream data when there are no SSI tags in
d8417b5f3406f4ace0f3bdb228b05a7b701976d6Andreas Gustafsson a file. If the OS doesn't have MMAP, this means that the entire
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson file is read into memory before we send it down the filter
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson stack. The includes_filter should only ever parse about 9K of
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson data at one time, so that we always look like we are streaming
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson * All of our MPMs should use APR for threads/processes. This
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson will allow us to error out if a threaded MPM is chosen on a
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson platform that doesn't support threads.
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
a488e91e5dedfd055b6a6e6dc3018866478facceAndreas Gustafsson Common logging API.
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson * Document mod_file_cache.
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
9769d3146777ca71af80b459ecec1ef8e2d05950Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
2e28950b721fcdd29dac6bf306b444ee7642cdf6Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
2e28950b721fcdd29dac6bf306b444ee7642cdf6Andreas Gustafsson close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
2e28950b721fcdd29dac6bf306b444ee7642cdf6Andreas Gustafsson Status: OtherBill will move the patch forward from 1.3.15, once we
2e28950b721fcdd29dac6bf306b444ee7642cdf6Andreas Gustafsson get our other Win9x issues solved.
4fd7e256467539b0486c1ffac9dcea7a3c9d1d5bAndreas Gustafsson * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson Status: OtherBill is bringing forward same ugly hack from 1.3.13
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
9f245fe68267d99dab5e1d1c2124b77886e758bdAndreas Gustafsson * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
9f245fe68267d99dab5e1d1c2124b77886e758bdAndreas Gustafsson would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
9f245fe68267d99dab5e1d1c2124b77886e758bdAndreas Gustafsson duplicates what is in APR.
9f245fe68267d99dab5e1d1c2124b77886e758bdAndreas Gustafsson * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
5dbccb84737c96fef00663919c83ee8f3d6e887aAndreas Gustafsson losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm

ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * Integrate mod_dav.
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson Some additional items remaining:
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson - case_preserved_filename stuff
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson (use the new canonical name stuff?)
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
ecbe731ce428d243b0c7eea5d2d2b24732a698a1Andreas Gustafsson * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
923cbf79eb621bb82f8a648f4ecb947667a1e5d3Andreas Gustafsson are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
923cbf79eb621bb82f8a648f4ecb947667a1e5d3Andreas Gustafsson function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
bd084426372655b443136243cfa5202b7a339b79Andreas Gustafsson something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
bd084426372655b443136243cfa5202b7a339b79Andreas Gustafsson "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
923cbf79eb621bb82f8a648f4ecb947667a1e5d3Andreas Gustafsson translation has decided to do.
