b3155b9e3b06b20030ec6c16d98f8dabf12ead9cianh * Win32: Get mod_auth_digest working under win32
b3155b9e3b06b20030ec6c16d98f8dabf12ead9cianh - APR_HAS_RANDOM should be defined on windows and there is a
b3155b9e3b06b20030ec6c16d98f8dabf12ead9cianh lib/apr/misc/win32/rand.c which is basically a copy of what
b3155b9e3b06b20030ec6c16d98f8dabf12ead9cianh mod_auth_digest used to use.
b3155b9e3b06b20030ec6c16d98f8dabf12ead9cianh * suEXEC doesn't work

ff1234e45aca1b8171d711ecb87f58b9d9100a99ianh * Win32: Enable the Windows MPM to honor max_requests_per_child
ff1234e45aca1b8171d711ecb87f58b9d9100a99ianh Status: Bill will fix this.
ff1234e45aca1b8171d711ecb87f58b9d9100a99ianh * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
ff1234e45aca1b8171d711ecb87f58b9d9100a99ianh (at least) needs to be done:
b999f6ba2a266bf9a92687f31bb7e76021ac5891ianh - 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
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe is not available on 95/98.
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
2ceedfca3a2fdfdb5ff60ca17f030ce91f6331cbwrowe we access the logs?
b999f6ba2a266bf9a92687f31bb7e76021ac5891ianh * 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.
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
b9b69856aec9ea58ea1b1e5aff669e8eaf2ebce4rbb also seem out of sorts.
1f3a44f2fd7f9fee00b80c7ddcf1028ea145f91drbb OtherBill is working on this
1f3a44f2fd7f9fee00b80c7ddcf1028ea145f91drbb * Win32: fix build/run time environment to remove ApacheCore.dll
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck Status: The best known candidate would be something from
43ea154f46345c9722c2b25b2b9f5086ec79eaeeorlikowski Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuckRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * 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.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski pthread MPMs will not build.
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski * Win32: Reuse accept socket after transmitfile/close
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski This is not a bug, but would be nice to get this feature in
c1635d9f723f28fed4b95e5d9693e554a79e8d77orlikowski before ship.
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
4f7dd0949d92462a8adc31eee8aff266eea55204chuck the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
75b3ed55173b29dbdf9e2fb6ec5462bfceee21aechuck death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck platforms that do not support fork.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck it would be nice to actually do so.
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.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Move I/O layering into APR.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck loosing 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
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@covalenet.net> is working on this.
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 * configuration option to use *DBM
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * add SDBM into src/lib/sdbm/ as a default/fallback DBM implementation.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck SDBM is used by Perl, mod_dav, mod_sssl, others for basic DBM support.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Integrate mod_dav.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Message-id: <20000625173247.M29590@lyra.org>
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: in process. (it compiles/links, but doesn't work yet)
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck - APR does not provide a couple needed things: chmod()
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck - APR-ization of the dav/fs/ stuff
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck - case_preserved_filename stuff
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck - turn dav/fs/ into a true module; remove existing config hackery
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static are a bit wonky.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something).
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck would allow mod_mmap_static to munge what the translation has
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck decided to do.

68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Go through ap_config.h and namespace-protect the symbols (e.g. USE_*).
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Some symbols can/should move to mpm_common.h where possible.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * add a version number to ap_initialize() as an extra failsafe against
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck (APR) library version skew.

68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuckOther bugs that need fixing:
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
0c233c76f21b358f4a0d81e0f956339ca727c14cchuck * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck completely.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * The mod_cgid daemon process isn't always cleaned up when httpd
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck gets SIGTERM. Jeff thinks it may be as simple as registering
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck the daemon process for cleanup with the proper pool, but he hasn't
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck looked at it in enough detail.
68bcde9c52e9e749482df2800dbdff09559115e0chuck * The MM library is built as static and shared library. This should
