857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Message-ID: <m3itbdiijq.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * That is very unlikely, merges are additive. Much more likely,

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan the default SetOutputFilter default or merge is borked.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Unless it's the code that permits 'null' merges, per module.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Still, it's probably in SetOutputFilter's behavior.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * BrianP notes: directory_walk's handling of trailing slashes

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan appears to be the cause: <3C1CF721.1090300@pacbell.net>

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan the security and robustness of 2.0.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan internal processing phase from the run request phase.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan types (once they are fully supported in APR).

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan with limited OS exposure.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan BrianP asks: "Is this really a showstopper?"

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan IanH says: "If we don't do it before we go live we will have 2

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan different API's to support in APR"

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * [Ken] Test suite failures:

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem."

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan running apachectl because we set the appropriate environment

51e8ec87dac6e491c8741586bfd39f8225b86944Robert Wapshott if you use apachectl. But I've already heard

51e8ec87dac6e491c8741586bfd39f8225b86944Robert Wapshott complaints about not being able to execute

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan httpd directly.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan but is hesitant to do the same for the httpd binary.

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan * [Aaron] All signals have been removed from the worker MPM, which

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan makes the code significantly cleaner, but there are a couple of

cf7084cf20623b8a2d7da2cc101288f2cf516d67Craig McDonnell lingering problems:

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * mod_cgid doesn't die at shutdown

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * httpd -X and -DONE_PROCESS is broken

51e8ec87dac6e491c8741586bfd39f8225b86944Robert Wapshott Justin says: JRE_1 does not have the signal-less worker MPM.

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan through in the query string, however. Roy says the

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan a filesystem location and which might be tricked by

cf7084cf20623b8a2d7da2cc101288f2cf516d67Craig McDonnell ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan allow it conditionally with a directive.

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan else wants to pick up where I've left off:

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,

cf7084cf20623b8a2d7da2cc101288f2cf516d67Craig McDonnell at first the child or children will appear to work

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan however, where a request will hang until another concurrent

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan hang. My theory is that this has to do with the

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan possible that it is in APR.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan our select() calls and their select() calls.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan those decrementing select calls have to do with the

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan that will allow them to control the server � la apachectl.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful

45e9f4e13faca91c1a0f87ef805933e155cf3ae6Dirk Hogan and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.

857bccfd8dc68379dcdc70acd07c6966dea365d5Dirk Hogan * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This

allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed

by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply

<Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible

and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would

not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as

server-info or server-status.

This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.

* Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache

goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the

child's-child processes in the parent process.

OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?

stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good

way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes

and whack them if the child goes down.

* Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or

the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad

death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.

Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20

* Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:

The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The

remaining work includes:

(1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic

(2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)

(3) Enabling SSL extentions

(4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -

This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https

filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.

Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.

Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I

am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the

shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.

treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin

also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently

decoupled now, but isn't really sure.

* Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the

malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some

light weight memory management functions that allow freeing

memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no

longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard

bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly

not a hard requirement.

Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has

been discussed at length for months, but since

SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,

several people expressed the opinion that we should

get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets

need their own memory management (free list) functions.

Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least

have something to look at/compare with.

* Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid

Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue

overrun?

* the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the

"Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable

in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,

what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf

works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.

* Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.

Common logging API.

* Document mod_file_cache.

* Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)

Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules

in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.

* Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This

would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially

duplicates what is in APR.

* There are still a number of places in the code where we are

losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a

system call and replacing it with a generic error code)

* Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.

* All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since

the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not

necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to

rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library

for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.

Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain

useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,

do we address the issue above?

* Integrate mod_dav.

Some additional items remaining:

- 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

* callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value

for failure (Doug volunteers)

* 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.

* In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with

-lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the

entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but

this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT

autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to

search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's

link flags.

* Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead

of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

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.

OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating

the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only

<ContainerMatch foo> semantics.

* 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 :-)

Other features that need writing:

* Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs

Status: post 2.0

* TODO in source -- just do an egrep on "TODO" and see what's there

issues with inet_ntoa. See message <20001201163220.A12827@covalent.net>

Status: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished

so that we know exactly what is required.
