0c39b3ed9409ecb277d5e32fa763a4e4d6598df8Automatic Updater Vague plan, assuming more features aren't demanded for the 2.0 release

bed0874e1a09e810575328c4bfc346a47514b69fMark Andrews * Fix lingering close
710bce1a85c96e85ca1a90471382055acd29d51fTinderbox User * MPMs should have responsibility for closing sockets and
e20309353e6246485c521278131d3fced73d7957Tinderbox User registering the socket cleanup. Stop registering multiple
e20309353e6246485c521278131d3fced73d7957Tinderbox User cleanups for each socket. Move socket close code out of
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews http_connection.c and into the MPMs.
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews * Reliable piped logs look broken everywhere. Each MPM includes essentially
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews identical code to ap_register_other_child(), etc. Most of this code can
e20309353e6246485c521278131d3fced73d7957Tinderbox User be moved out of the MPMs and into some common file (http_core.c?).
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews * DSO hooks registered during the preflight call to ap_read_config
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater are not 'unregistered' during the preflight clean-up. Thus, when
efb0e886f18894a1d2489f1ad74ad14b579e11c7Mark Andrews Apache comes up, the hook tables contain two entries for each DSO hook,
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater one of which is bogus, leftover from the preflight.
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater * Pipes to CGI scripts are not being timed out
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater Status: code has been added to APR to support timing out pipes.
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson This needs to be used in Apache now.
b886b04d8d2b085cbf3e1bf4442dee87f43ba5e4Tinderbox User * Put back resource limit code
aa9c561961e9d877946ebaa8795fa2be054ab7bfEvan Hunt * Port mod_rewrite
e130ab53e992670e2a2ecf043976ac09f21358d1Automatic Updater Status: Paul Reder <rederpj@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this.
aa9c561961e9d877946ebaa8795fa2be054ab7bfEvan Hunt * suEXEC doesn't work
9513a2a6670951f5cf5477fcfec9f933fcaff628Automatic Updater Status: Manoj has posted an patch to fix this.
24934f08b9ff81c2be711e566e8002d145573031Tinderbox User <19991103003605.A20612@samosa.mindspring.com>
aa9c561961e9d877946ebaa8795fa2be054ab7bfEvan Hunt * Win32: Enable the Windows MPM to honor max_requests_per_child
24934f08b9ff81c2be711e566e8002d145573031Tinderbox User Status: Bill will fix this.
aa9c561961e9d877946ebaa8795fa2be054ab7bfEvan Hunt * Win32: Fix Win9* specific code in the winnt MPM
9513a2a6670951f5cf5477fcfec9f933fcaff628Automatic Updater * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
9513a2a6670951f5cf5477fcfec9f933fcaff628Automatic Updater native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
cdfc81e048bd34c1d628380247bda6b80a89e20eAutomatic Updater CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
cdfc81e048bd34c1d628380247bda6b80a89e20eAutomatic Updater we access the logs?
9513a2a6670951f5cf5477fcfec9f933fcaff628Automatic Updater * Win32: Smoke test all ported modules to make sure they work
9513a2a6670951f5cf5477fcfec9f933fcaff628Automatic Updater correctly under Windows.
eabc9c3c07cd956d3c436bd7614cb162dabdda76Mark Andrews * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
b886b04d8d2b085cbf3e1bf4442dee87f43ba5e4Tinderbox User work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
e20309353e6246485c521278131d3fced73d7957Tinderbox User Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there.
24934f08b9ff81c2be711e566e8002d145573031Tinderbox User * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new
e20309353e6246485c521278131d3fced73d7957Tinderbox User hook system. Switch completely to the new hook system
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews Status: Ben Laurie is working on this.
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews * Modules. Which modules do not work yet, can we get a list?
80faf1588895fd26490f82f95a7a1b771df1c324Automatic Updater * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews Status: The best known candidate would be something from BIND
ec7751119a08c6a7250f3187beed69a8b836d349Tinderbox User (v8 or v9?) The only other option would be to mutex all the
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews resolver calls,
693c4232dfdffaff672197d4b9fea944c64cf80aAutomatic UpdaterRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater * Win32: Reuse accept socket after transmitfile/close
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson This is not a bug, but would be nice to get this feature in
efb0e886f18894a1d2489f1ad74ad14b579e11c7Mark Andrews * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson * Win32: Non-blocking CGI pipes
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater * Win32: Graceful restart of a service is broken (code does shutdown then start)
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater * Dynamically loadable MPMs
b886b04d8d2b085cbf3e1bf4442dee87f43ba5e4Tinderbox User Enable users of the binary distributions of Apache to be able to
b871c7156eb037d41f53828c6fcb9cc876128962Mark Andrews dynamically load the MPM.
3349f0044fda807e1fd6681c833d3593a22dad86Tinderbox User * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
3349f0044fda807e1fd6681c833d3593a22dad86Tinderbox User Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
78f3ed4bc2fcd3d270bfd599804f3b27a1db4d91Mark Andrews that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
2a31bd531072824ef252c18303859d6af7451b00Francis Dupont platforms that do not support fork.
3349f0044fda807e1fd6681c833d3593a22dad86Tinderbox User * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
2a31bd531072824ef252c18303859d6af7451b00Francis Dupont remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
3349f0044fda807e1fd6681c833d3593a22dad86Tinderbox User * Go throught the Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended". People
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0, it
78f3ed4bc2fcd3d270bfd599804f3b27a1db4d91Mark Andrews would be nice to actually do so.
24bf1e02f03577db0feb50b80238c4150c96d05dAutomatic Updater * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
78f3ed4bc2fcd3d270bfd599804f3b27a1db4d91Mark Andrews would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
78f3ed4bc2fcd3d270bfd599804f3b27a1db4d91Mark Andrews duplicates what is in APR.
2ba8f584b97cbab864570e38fd26b8cb90961428Tinderbox User Status: Bill <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this.
78f3ed4bc2fcd3d270bfd599804f3b27a1db4d91Mark Andrews * Move I/O layering into APR.
551271d8198ae06e37edf5da519d8ee153eeac0fTinderbox User * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
27c3c21f41520e8d6336d80a8094389e321cb6d2Mark Andrews loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
c651f15b30f1dae5cc2f00878fb5da5b3a35a468Mark Andrews system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
b871c7156eb037d41f53828c6fcb9cc876128962Mark Andrews * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
b871c7156eb037d41f53828c6fcb9cc876128962Mark Andrews Status: Bill <stoddard@raleigh.ibm.com> has prototype code (not
01a5c5503482fb3ba52088bf0178a7213273bf96Mark Andrews reliable) in 1.3. Should be much cleaner with APR in 2.0.
b871c7156eb037d41f53828c6fcb9cc876128962Mark Andrews * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater Status: Manoj has placed an initial version into the 2.0
cdfc81e048bd34c1d628380247bda6b80a89e20eAutomatic Updater repository. Todos include:
fe80a4909bf62b602feaf246866e9d29f7654194Automatic Updater - "make install" should work
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater - a tool to simplfy third-party module building should be
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater written. Something like apxs
fe80a4909bf62b602feaf246866e9d29f7654194Automatic Updater - Add a lot more checks to satisfy the various platforms, e.g.
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this.
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
dd65eb1efb40b1c47d57963192bfc54873b219beAutomatic Updater are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
133e6d43fa82e80d3798be4de00f4540f485ec6cAutomatic UpdaterOther bugs that need fixing:
133e6d43fa82e80d3798be4de00f4540f485ec6cAutomatic Updater * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
f2770f6b39a9b2a98afb7a11ed105f73f1570c1eAutomatic Updater Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
91216cff91b34c9ff6e846dc23f248219cafe660Andreas Gustafsson "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
b886b04d8d2b085cbf3e1bf4442dee87f43ba5e4Tinderbox User * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
8e5fce1f9ceba17dd7e3ff0eb287e1e999c14249Mark Andrews Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
b886b04d8d2b085cbf3e1bf4442dee87f43ba5e4Tinderbox User behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
710bce1a85c96e85ca1a90471382055acd29d51fTinderbox User * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
f132a836c4e386b1af045dd8fe7106ae61b90bffAutomatic Updater sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
d642d3857129678797a01adee14fbd70335b05a9Mark Andrews there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
609b8d08176469485edce25f3c2f50365bbd3819Mark AndrewsOther features that need writing:
710bce1a85c96e85ca1a90471382055acd29d51fTinderbox User * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
8711e5c73ca872d59810760af0332194cbdd619bAutomatic Updater * TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there
8f2c45a35dd8c40bcc9caba8f7d40ce64fc27bcdAutomatic Updater * Work on other MPMs. Possible MPMs discussed or in progress include:
8f2c45a35dd8c40bcc9caba8f7d40ce64fc27bcdAutomatic Updater - Dean Gaudet's async MPM
8e5fce1f9ceba17dd7e3ff0eb287e1e999c14249Mark Andrews Status: dean is unlikely to begin work on this any time soon...
6a9d2121152c94cb9e35832126c3f2e4d18d81edTinderbox User has lots of ideas he'll share with folks willing to begin
e85565067cf73f8cc21ee29b11761659f1d47ee9Automatic Updater tackling the issues. this is apache 2.1 material.
