0d2f57cf389a981efa5e98d9b451c6baf0af12bfjerenkrantz * 34 status: Let's get all API changes and showstoppers in this one.
4b62424416882687387923b3130b96241503cbe0jerenkrantzFINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
0d2f57cf389a981efa5e98d9b451c6baf0af12bfjerenkrantz * We do not properly substitute the prefix-variables in the configuration
0d2f57cf389a981efa5e98d9b451c6baf0af12bfjerenkrantz scripts or generated-configs. (i.e. if sysconfdir is etc,
0d2f57cf389a981efa5e98d9b451c6baf0af12bfjerenkrantz httpd-std.conf points to conf.)
a12b7938cf47a0017a70ba195bbce035aa040e38aaron Aaron says: This is not a showstopper, these problems have existed
a12b7938cf47a0017a70ba195bbce035aa040e38aaron for as long as I can remember. It would be nice to fix
a12b7938cf47a0017a70ba195bbce035aa040e38aaron them but they are not new.

f4cb04eb78da02a38fcdd87489dc7b660107d55fjerenkrantz "gracefully" self-terminate. Or maybe we should make it a runtime
f4cb04eb78da02a38fcdd87489dc7b660107d55fjerenkrantz option, or have a concept of 2 parent processes (one being a

1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantzRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
984a1ce6391060f0eea811dbbdbc993250399aa1stoddard * ap_cache_hex2msec() and ap_cache_msec2hex() are completely
984a1ce6391060f0eea811dbbdbc993250399aa1stoddard hosed. They do not handle apr_time_t (64 bit ints) properly.
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe * If any request gets through ap_process_request_internal() and is
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe scheduled to be served by the core handler, without a flag that this
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing so sub_req-esters
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe know this request cannot be run. This provides authors of older
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe robustness of 2.0.
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)"
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.]
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe potential broken modules? It seems futile.
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken.
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage.
638a9edaf48cf003cd40ac25ee8c25f572107414stoddard * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support
638a9edaf48cf003cd40ac25ee8c25f572107414stoddard it with predictable results as it is implemented now.
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron Status: Aaron has converted all but the perchild MPM to
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron use the new lock API. Since perchild has been put
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron on the back burner, this is no longer a showstopper.
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron Aaron will patch perchild as soon as it becomes
83d91d60d00dc345bfbcbc48ff206db4a6b23b2eaaron buildable again.
db2d668e6233d8949b35ee7f9f42f444758f9ce9rbb * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me
db2d668e6233d8949b35ee7f9f42f444758f9ce9rbb how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked
db2d668e6233d8949b35ee7f9f42f444758f9ce9rbb correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to
db2d668e6233d8949b35ee7f9f42f444758f9ce9rbb get the content that had already been written and the socket at
db2d668e6233d8949b35ee7f9f42f444758f9ce9rbb the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be

1ea5221b240a8b41a07c6fb04aab5a73adcddabfaaron you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail
1ea5221b240a8b41a07c6fb04aab5a73adcddabfaaron if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1

5d12baef135b5d3cb94745e007a1575398469724jerenkrantz outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I
5d12baef135b5d3cb94745e007a1575398469724jerenkrantz think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."

b865daaa4ef731a7066ee6d97e2aae36c7743939jerenkrantz * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
b865daaa4ef731a7066ee6d97e2aae36c7743939jerenkrantz hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct

dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
dc098c7ce5d36179c504d09fc722d190683d0262aaron like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.

54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar through in the query string, however. Roy says the
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar allow it conditionally with a directive.
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
949aa7bba7f804faa8e6b08cad42a98fc0255d85jerenkrantz More examination and analysis is required.

07021d9f405849228b859d9fb4b877f20e4fbba3jerenkrantz Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
07021d9f405849228b859d9fb4b877f20e4fbba3jerenkrantz problem. Yum. If another platform has this
07021d9f405849228b859d9fb4b877f20e4fbba3jerenkrantz with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron else wants to pick up where I've left off:
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron at first the child or children will appear to work
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
f126ee03179eb54308118f1ec3de5a7b461685d8aaron possible that it is in APR.
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid our select() calls and their select() calls.
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid those decrementing select calls have to do with the
109faf633e12ab0bbdd602c7addc795cce59e8addreid scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
4ca13a5e126946272f02637e268a8e09193c553ecoar * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
4ca13a5e126946272f02637e268a8e09193c553ecoar that will allow them to control the server � la apachectl.
4ca13a5e126946272f02637e268a8e09193c553ecoar Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
4ca13a5e126946272f02637e268a8e09193c553ecoar an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
4ca13a5e126946272f02637e268a8e09193c553ecoar Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to
e0427bf8e52a8fb920cb8b6adb5cdb3b6535b7fecoar figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe server-info or server-status.
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe child's-child processes in the parent process.
d24a92b8a8315e9a266ba84cc2a996d49dd546c1stoddard OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar and whack them if the child goes down.
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe have also been proposed on APR.
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.

3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley remaining work includes:
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
57710387e669ee41fb211458efe09c4c73194a66jwoolley (2) Enabling SSL extentions
57710387e669ee41fb211458efe09c4c73194a66jwoolley (3) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.

0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj duplicates what is in APR.
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
35330e0d79ceb8027223bbb8330a381b1f989d6etrawick losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a

447c6ce3ff08073c44f6785d5256271fcb877512wrowe * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
e0427bf8e52a8fb920cb8b6adb5cdb3b6535b7fecoar the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
e0427bf8e52a8fb920cb8b6adb5cdb3b6535b7fecoar necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
e0427bf8e52a8fb920cb8b6adb5cdb3b6535b7fecoar rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
e0427bf8e52a8fb920cb8b6adb5cdb3b6535b7fecoar for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe do we address the issue above?
db3ccce11afac4fc1d4f51a65424412f7480c46cgstein * Integrate mod_dav.
dd4713dc5b186f4d1be7b88f86608fdb84cbe5d5gstein Some additional items remaining:

48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
79d5106a9b65b956d646f5daae4b94bc79e315b8trawick function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
cf6bf6c34c936e6a6fe731dbce4a5c3c8bf8e9a3gstein something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
cf6bf6c34c936e6a6fe731dbce4a5c3c8bf8e9a3gstein "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
cf6bf6c34c936e6a6fe731dbce4a5c3c8bf8e9a3gstein translation has decided to do.

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manojOther bugs that need fixing:
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
d5defd5a0c5cdbaf74b85939484dc2b6c8317d19manoj Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
d5defd5a0c5cdbaf74b85939484dc2b6c8317d19manoj "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj completely.

6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe <ContainerMatch foo> semantics.

ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein * orig_ct in the byterange/multipart handling may not be
ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
ec0315cdf832eac2b78e50ad636af84fe4c9118cgstein dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
