b2a02ef0183a671777294e069307bba893ca3ebeChristian Maeder r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very

50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder internal processing phase from the run request phase.
b2a02ef0183a671777294e069307bba893ca3ebeChristian Maeder
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder back when this is fixed. rbb

50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.

9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
95834d47204eec8e8a076639b805928ecb8ce46eChristian Maeder directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.

cdb68707ccdbff6aef4f34a897a8650515685feeChristian Maeder This can't wait until we have a 2.0-gold release, if folks need
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder to move over to auth_dbm, we can't do that to them after 2.0 gold.
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder Status: Ian says.. now that apr-util can handle multiple DBM types
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder we can probably deprecate it completly by adding a directive
95834d47204eec8e8a076639b805928ecb8ce46eChristian Maeder 'AuthDBMType' to mod_auth_dbm.

50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder types (once they are fully supported in APR).
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
e953bea49e7f0e1a43bccf2a66c5e2a2b50848e0Christian Maeder platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder with limited OS exposure.

50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder * make_exports.awk doesn't handle declarations that span multiple
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder lines. Thus, stuff like ap_hook_error_log doesn't end up in
50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian Maeder exports.c and httpd.exp. This can cause DSO modules which call
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder ap_hook_error_log (or other missing functions -- if there are
9a648682ccaa8ef63583548c3edb01c6542d7885Christian Maeder any) to segfault on AIX and can probably cause load or other
95834d47204eec8e8a076639b805928ecb8ce46eChristian Maeder errors on some other platforms.

50e3ab1e0cfdc82e3ba02da47b24635a808b331cChristian MaederRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
* There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
that will allow them to control the server � 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?
* revamp the input filter behavior, per discussions since
February (and especially at the hackathon last
April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
*up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
connection (buggering up persistent conns).
Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl, and
mod_proxy are switched to the new logic.
However, ap_getline() still needs to be refactored out. But,
there's a problem there: ap_getline() peeks ahead for MIME
continuation (first character on line is space or \t) and
stores unused data in core_request_config which violates the
abstraction. That's cheating. So, we may not be able to
implement this without setting some data aside (yuck!).
I believe this is OtherBill's main complaint with the current
filtering.
AIUI (correct me if I'm wrong!), OtherBill believes we
should have a pushback option so that we can return unread
data - this would solve this case. However, my question to
him is how do we handle stuff like mod_ssl - we can't "unread"
data. So, do we have two brigades for each filter? An in
brigade and a returned brigade? That seems messy. To
everyone else, can we refactor ap_getline() without pushback
and how?

- thoughts on filter modes:
Message-ID: <021b01c14dee$09782af0$93c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
* 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.
* daedalus: mod_cgid and suexec have a problem co-existing. suexec
sees a null command string sometimes. The problem happens when
you access bugs.apache.org, then click on the "search the bug db"
button.
* 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?
* 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 the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
(3) Enabling SSL extentions
(4) 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.
Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
* Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
optimization working in worker. prefork's new design for how
to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
* Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
not a hard requirement.
Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
been discussed at length for months, but since
SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
several people expressed the opinion that we should
get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
need their own memory management (free list) functions.
Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
have something to look at/compare with.
* Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
* the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
"Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
* Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
Common logging API.
* Document mod_file_cache.
* OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
* 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_db/dbm administration.
Status: Mladen Turk has posted several patches and ideas.
Key question, part of htpasswd, or a seperate utility?
prefer htpasswd:
prefer seperate: OtherBill
* use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
Will says: "bs - I may choose the fastest - most efficient native
dbm implementation, for shared proc caches, ssl session
caching, etc, but that has nothing to do with maintaining
a userlist via dbm, which has to remain readable between
builds/machines, etc. The use-multiple database schema
for apr-util would let us do this with just apr, though."
* 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:
- winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
- IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
is not available on 95/98.
- 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.
* Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.

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.
* 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.
* Martin Sojka <msojka@gmx.de>'s patch to add error reporting for failed
htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
similar problems?)
PR: 6475
Status:
* Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve

PR6193
Open issues:
* Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
