8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster WIN32 and OS2 need review [William Rowe, Brian Harvard]
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster (at least) needs to be done:
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster is not available on 95/98.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster we access the logs?
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster also seem out of sorts.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster OtherBill is working on this and will finish over the weekend.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Status: The best known candidate would be something from

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * remove the --disable-shared from the subdir config of APR(UTIL)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster before the final release. (in fact, it might even be nice to
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster allow for Apache config/build against an already-installed
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Note: we need to do a "make install" for APR(UTIL) so the shared
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster libraries can be installed properly. We could also use that
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster point to install include files (rather than have Apache
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster know everything that needs to be installed from the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster sub-packages). The original impetus for doing the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster disable-shared was because the shared lib wasn't getting
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster installed and a "make clean" in aprutil would make Apache
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster fail to load.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * users who want to install third-party modules into the Apache
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster source tree (for static linking) need to have autoconf and
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster libtool installed. This is because the module needs to have its
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster config.m4 incorporated into ./configure, which means "buildconf"
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster must be run.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Note: This is in part because we have removed the "extra" directory.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster In the Apache-2.0 repository, this directory had a config.m4
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster file that allowed people to add external modules by
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster specifying --with-module on the configure line.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * ap_vrprintf() needs to handle more than 4K

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster disabled for non-GET requests.

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan FosterRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * mod_status ExtendedStatus SS (seconds since last request) is
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster bogus because of an uninitialized field in the scoreboard.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Status: Cliff is working on this
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * All of our MPMs should use APR for threads/processes. This
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster will allow us to error out if a threaded MPM is chosen on a
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster platform that doesn't support threads.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Common logging API.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Document mod_file_cache.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Status: OtherBill will move the patch forward from 1.3.15, once we
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster get our other Win9x issues solved.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Status: OtherBill is bringing forward same ugly hack from 1.3.13
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster duplicates what is in APR.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Integrate mod_dav.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Some additional items remaining:
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - case_preserved_filename stuff
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster (use the new canonical name stuff?)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster translation has decided to do.

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
