28a83b4628080a704c56bbfcc149b94eb873d555coar * Runtime startup failures don't reliably set the exit status.
bf289b7cf642fb65ab05c22611226619e4e3bb3acoar For instance, try listening to port 80 and starting as non-root;
bf289b7cf642fb65ab05c22611226619e4e3bb3acoar server fails with make_sock and 'no listening sockets' errors
bf289b7cf642fb65ab05c22611226619e4e3bb3acoar but exits with 0 status. Even with -DONE_PROCESS -DNO_DETACH.
2f316e524ff96c16278c4f3361bac3f69179005dwrowe * mod_rewrite's locks (win32) were broken by recent changes to the
2f316e524ff96c16278c4f3361bac3f69179005dwrowe apr_lock_t api (which we were deprecating in the first place, so
2f316e524ff96c16278c4f3361bac3f69179005dwrowe I'm far from certain why it changed.) It has to do with creating
2f316e524ff96c16278c4f3361bac3f69179005dwrowe the rewrite logs mutex. The solution is to find the brokenness in
2f316e524ff96c16278c4f3361bac3f69179005dwrowe apr_lock_t, but if it goes away, why waste the time?
c00273b9c51c617ede471e9cb95c22420f1227fbbrianp * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions
c00273b9c51c617ede471e9cb95c22420f1227fbbrianp if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration

6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe * That is very unlikely, merges are additive. Much more likely,
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe the default SetOutputFilter default or merge is borked.
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe Unless it's the code that permits 'null' merges, per module.
6758b07b4b79f898b0f56375016cea7da0bfb495wrowe Still, it's probably in SetOutputFilter's behavior.
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar * Test suite failures:
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar o perchild doesn't even build
54e1babd5a5a56c576eeeace54110150769cc916coar o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe the security and robustness of 2.0.
976501adbc040220270f7d1d77c4b8373033be69wrowe Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...

976501adbc040220270f7d1d77c4b8373033be69wrowe we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
976501adbc040220270f7d1d77c4b8373033be69wrowe and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
976501adbc040220270f7d1d77c4b8373033be69wrowe internal processing phase from the run request phase.
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
bf9acc131271d18db51d30ace549d3c3b6a2b9fbrbb back when this is fixed. rbb
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
a601d863bd772fefc4dc82a883589d8be6a44811wrowe filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
a601d863bd772fefc4dc82a883589d8be6a44811wrowe like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz types (once they are fully supported in APR).
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantz with limited OS exposure.
108db76823f2261a33aaa3621af6a1e54db17a69trawick * A binbuild installation picks up the right libraries when
108db76823f2261a33aaa3621af6a1e54db17a69trawick running apachectl because we set the appropriate environment
108db76823f2261a33aaa3621af6a1e54db17a69trawick variable, but ab, htpasswd, etc. don't know how to pick up apr,
108db76823f2261a33aaa3621af6a1e54db17a69trawick apr-util, etc.

f5ffca3be39270cfb45148c242d70481498bb0b5gregames * Redirected autoindex requests no longer work. Example:
f5ffca3be39270cfb45148c242d70481498bb0b5gregames http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/ mod_dir is a suspect.
1b3f48fd6b1ccb8745f908e40156c5a85ca3c347jerenkrantzRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp * Modify the worker MPM so that it doesn't need to create and
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp destroy a pool for each request--possibly by adopting a
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp leader/follower model in which each worker owns a persistent
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp ptrans pool (like the prefork MPM) and the workers take
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp turns acting as listeners...this approach might also help
3a335d38ae042442923b87dce21b274a52e7e400brianp reduce context-switching
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron * CGI single-byte reads
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron to read from.
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron Proposed solution in:
262bfa74293f7bc2049b4cd525875c8775711ca2aaron Message-ID: <3C36ADAF.60601@cnet.com>
33f5961d34a8b5390cebad0543b3ebe67830e5d7jerenkrantz * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
33f5961d34a8b5390cebad0543b3ebe67830e5d7jerenkrantz Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
33f5961d34a8b5390cebad0543b3ebe67830e5d7jerenkrantz Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
33f5961d34a8b5390cebad0543b3ebe67830e5d7jerenkrantz on all platforms and clean up our build system
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 Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
07021d9f405849228b859d9fb4b877f20e4fbba3jerenkrantz Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
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 *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?
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to figure
480e89b14b2c407bb2e8b8a918e6a183e4573c6crbb out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
123c13eb1384c256a66438ca2110750baba7eef8wrowe * revamp the input filter behavior, per discussions since
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein February (and especially at the hackathon last
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein *up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
38b116de532efb28defc6a0aaa71fb8c46487190gstein connection (buggering up persistent conns).
e2979c854f6ff7c056d75f6f1ae49767ce3b6d37jerenkrantz Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
abf9f8824312153040e1ee588a50058c67a4081ajerenkrantz The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl, and
abf9f8824312153040e1ee588a50058c67a4081ajerenkrantz mod_proxy are switched to the new logic.
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz However, ap_getline() still needs to be refactored out. But,
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz there's a problem there: ap_getline() peeks ahead for MIME
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz continuation (first character on line is space or \t) and
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz stores unused data in core_request_config which violates the
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz abstraction. That's cheating. So, we may not be able to
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz implement this without setting some data aside (yuck!).
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz I believe this is OtherBill's main complaint with the current
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz AIUI (correct me if I'm wrong!), OtherBill believes we
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz should have a pushback option so that we can return unread
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz data - this would solve this case. However, my question to
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz him is how do we handle stuff like mod_ssl - we can't "unread"
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz data. So, do we have two brigades for each filter? An in
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz brigade and a returned brigade? That seems messy. To
d90f6d052b76ed4cf5e27e8292a22c2c97bb5134jerenkrantz everyone else, can we refactor ap_getline() without pushback

3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley remaining work includes:
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley (3) Enabling SSL extentions
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley (4) 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.
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
5fcdb40a60e9819e5fb192f7ea97a4c29d350ecbjerenkrantz decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
49facccad3f5c3e9e49311487b5069699c3bf3fdjwoolley malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard not a hard requirement.
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley been discussed at length for months, but since
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley several people expressed the opinion that we should
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley need their own memory management (free list) functions.
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
1b9744b72f26e9a0e935f9c08d49feb1fcce72f9jwoolley have something to look at/compare with.

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.

60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe randomization in APR itself.
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it
