af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User The confusion was because apr_sendfile() returned APR_SUCCESS

af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User It is unclear whether the apr_*printf function was passed bad

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein libtool installed. This is because the module needs to have its
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt config.m4 incorporated into ./configure, which means "buildconf"
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Note: This is in part because we have removed the "extra" directory.

af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * A design problem with the scoreboard can cause the threaded
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User MPM to get in a state where it will no longer serve requests.
a1ad6695ed6f988406cf155aa26376f84f73bcb9Automatic Updater When MaxRequestsPerChild is hit, a threaded process will begin
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt allowing it's idle worker threads to exit. The child process
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User may have one (or a few) threads serving really long responses
2895f101b5585a19015ac2c2c1e1812ac467fa12Automatic Updater over slow client connections, which will prevent the child
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User process from exiting. The problem is that the
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt perform_idle_server_maintenance code will NOT start a new
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein process to replace the dying child process until the dying child
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt has exited because the new child needs to use the old childs
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User space in the scoreboard. The scoreboard and
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt perform_idle_server_maintenance need to be redesigned.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Status: Several proposals discussed on new-httpd (April 16, 2001)
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox UserRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The next
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User step is to figure out how the old three configuration contexts (global,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User per-server, per-directory) can be ported to Apache 2.0 (especially the
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User global context which has to survive server restarts RSE still does not
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt know how to port). Then the remaining source files (which depend on the
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt configuration contexts) which are still tagged with "-" in
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt One more thing to figure out is how and when mod_ssl can provide the
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt interactive pass phrase dialog (in Apache 1.3 it used the first init
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein round [where tty was still not detached] and skipped the second init
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein round [where it was already detached]). Apache 2.0 requires (or already
71c66a876ecca77923638d3f94cc0783152b2f03Mark Andrews has?) an official hook where such tty-dialogs can be performed.
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt RSE is on holiday until June 11th, 2001. After this he starts
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User working on mod_ssl again and tries to make mod_ssl running inside
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Apache 2.0 by end of June. If anyone wants to help making mod_ssl
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User running in the meantime, feel free to make your hands dirty inside
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User modules/ssl/. Do whatever you think is appropriate to get it
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein running. I've no objections of any kind, except: just do not
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt remove any old functionality. Keep everything, even if it needs
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein #if 0...endif wrapped to not make trouble for you.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User optimization working in threaded. prefork's new design for how
fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User * mod_tls is very specific to OpenSSL. Make the API calls
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein more generic to support other encryption libraries.
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
c313914d0e66b20969215e519bbf2ab4ecf39512Tinderbox User malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
a1ff871f78b7d907d6fc3a382beea2a640fe8423Tinderbox User not a hard requirement.
3ca1a32241189d1e02e59f6b56399eb9b40f2aafTinderbox User Status: Cliff, David, et al have discussed using the blocks SMS
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt for this. First step is to s/malloc/apr_sms_malloc/g, etc.
d253648fe3331622cebea02d60aaecca3082d78dTinderbox User We could then have a thread-private SMS that is pointed

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt required. Should be fast...

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the

cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf

71c66a876ecca77923638d3f94cc0783152b2f03Mark Andrews * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews duplicates what is in APR.
6d382c9fcec316a84a237779fb64bb471b6f9d43Tinderbox User * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
6d382c9fcec316a84a237779fb64bb471b6f9d43Tinderbox User losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a

f9aef05653eeb454c489d5bd2bde6daab774ad4aTinderbox User necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
