0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved

18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews is understood, but a later extention is not. e.g. if the request
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file
460b427411b72da26b1836b9424e2e70d65d9394David Lawrence index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the

dabea86dac4c01f852b7aea728f73b4f55a89d44Mark Andrews * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
dabea86dac4c01f852b7aea728f73b4f55a89d44Mark Andrews ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
dabea86dac4c01f852b7aea728f73b4f55a89d44Mark Andrews directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.

2d46d268ccff30bb50e661b47c6496d23d9156c7Mark Andrews the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
2d46d268ccff30bb50e661b47c6496d23d9156c7Mark Andrews do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
dabea86dac4c01f852b7aea728f73b4f55a89d44Mark Andrews of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
460b427411b72da26b1836b9424e2e70d65d9394David Lawrence Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers

af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley not a hard requirement.

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley been discussed at length for months, but since
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews several people expressed the opinion that we should
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
0014d6342b0d50ae37126ac16d5bf821d02ffff7David Lawrence need their own memory management (free list) functions.
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
18483fce5b9d1e02748bdcb916014cedea654f78Mark Andrews have something to look at/compare with.

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt duplicates what is in APR.

af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley system call and replacing it with a generic error code)

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.

0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."

af9dbf1ccdd53933aaae9300d13ce0965d39b067Evan Hunt * Integrate mod_dav.
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley Some additional items remaining:
0b72c791466d0807bcf22522b5ddb7da902c2720Bob Halley - 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
* APR-ize resolver stuff in mod_unique_id (Jeff volunteers)
* callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
for failure (Doug volunteers)
* when prefork bails out due to an initialization error in the detached
process (e.g., mutex init failure), other children (cgid, at least)
are left hanging around
* 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.

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 :-)
