2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe Status: Bill will fix this.
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe (at least) needs to be done:
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
b999f6ba2a266bf9a92687f31bb7e76021ac5891ianh is not available on 95/98.
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
b999f6ba2a266bf9a92687f31bb7e76021ac5891ianh rand.c, at least.)
1f3a44f2fd7f9fee00b80c7ddcf1028ea145f91drbb * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb we access the logs?
1f3a44f2fd7f9fee00b80c7ddcf1028ea145f91drbb * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
7d7931c1f4d46b041ad2ad6fdb9499289063611eianh into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
1f3a44f2fd7f9fee00b80c7ddcf1028ea145f91drbb parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
43ea154f46345c9722c2b25b2b9f5086ec79eaeeorlikowski also seem out of sorts.
43ea154f46345c9722c2b25b2b9f5086ec79eaeeorlikowski OtherBill is working on this
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck Status: The best known candidate would be something from
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
53c2eb831bfe47860e3f5ec9190b15cb92f15181chuck a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
53c2eb831bfe47860e3f5ec9190b15cb92f15181chuck * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski administrator to remove or reorder filters. Once a filter is added
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski * binbuild.sh may need to be updated. I haven't looked into this, but I
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski would be surprised if it works.

4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuckRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck * The directives to setup output filters need to be re-visited. These
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck directives aren't consistent with what we already have, and they don't
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck always make good sense.
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck Status: rbb volunteers.
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck * FreeBSD has issues when sendfile is used. Some images aren't sent
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck completely. The work around is to turn off sendfile support.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * release distros do not include a "test" dir. It should be
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck cleaned for the dev guys. (Greg volunteers)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Common logging API.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Create unified scoreboard API and implementation shared across
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Document mod_file_cache.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck duplicates what is in APR.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck implementations (including something like the existing data type,
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: fanf is working on this.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck [ gjs: still? really? ]
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * Integrate mod_dav.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck Some additional items remaining:
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck - case_preserved_filename stuff
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck (use the new canonical name stuff?)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck translation has decided to do.
