60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * Revert to a 1.3 behavior and allow a non-file request to travel
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein through the request cycle. If any request gets to the core handler,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein without a flag that this r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein then we 500 at the very end of the request cycle. This provides
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein the security and robustness of 2.0. This does not remove the new
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein map_to_storage hook itself, but makes it optional for some cases.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein internal processing phase from the run request phase.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein back when this is fixed. rbb

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein filename extensions. Add...FilterByType will add to this quandry.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Some sort of resolution needs to be proposed,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein disabled for non-GET requests.

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * mod_negotiation will not serve a request when an early extention
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein is understood, but a later extention is not. e.g. if the request
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein ap-mime-exception-list will contain "index" and "bak", and the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein string "index.bak" doesn't match "index.html.bak". Need to
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein review the ap-mime-exception-list component by component to be
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein allow these cases. [This could be part of a patch to allow the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein name index.bak in the case above to match index.html.bak.en]

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Status: Bill has some code in his tree that accomplishes
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein this, and will commit it Friday after it's tested.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives. MaxClients in
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers
directive.
* Fix the configure script to add a LoadModule directive to
the default httpd.conf for any module that was compiled
as a DSO.
* revamp the input filter semantics, per discussions since
February (and especially at the hackathon last
April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
*up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
connection (buggering up persistent conns).
Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
The core input filters and HTTP-related filters are
switched to the new logic. At this point, proxy and
ssl remain broken. Preliminary patches for ssl have been
posted to dev@httpd. There are lots of places that made
implementation assumptions about the fact that the core
filter would return the socket. That code is now broken.
- socket bucket and core input filter changes. see end of
message ID (Feb 27): <20010227075326.S2297@lyra.org>
- fix up ap_get_brigade() semantics, fix bug in DECHUNK /
ap_getline. many messages (plus their threads) (Apr/May):

RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
* 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.) This proposed change would not depricate Alias.
* add mod_gz to httpd-2.0 (in modules/experimental/)

* daedalus: mod_cgid and suexec have a problem co-existing. suexec
sees a null command string sometimes. The problem happens when
you access bugs.apache.org, then click on the "search the bug db"
button.
* 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.
* 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.
* Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
optimization working in threaded. prefork's new design for how
to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
* mod_tls is very specific to OpenSSL. Make the API calls
more generic to support other encryption libraries.
* 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
* 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.
Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
* Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
Common logging API.
* Document mod_file_cache.
* OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
* 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_db/dbm administration.
* use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
Will says: "bs - I may choose the fastest - most efficient native
dbm implementation, for shared proc caches, ssl session
caching, etc, but that has nothing to do with maintaining
a userlist via dbm, which has to remain readable between
builds/machines, etc. The use-multiple database schema
for apr-util would let us do this with just apr, though."
* Fold mod_auth_db features back into mod_auth_dbm, and depricate it.
* 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
* APR-ize resolver stuff in mod_unique_id (Jeff volunteers)
* callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
for failure (Doug volunteers)
* when prefork bails out due to an initialization error in the detached
process (e.g., mutex init failure), other children (cgid, at least)
are left hanging around
* 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.

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.
* 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
Available Patches:
* Jon Travis's <jtravis@covalent.net> patch to deal with thread-safe
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.
* Martin Sojka <msojka@gmx.de>'s patch to add error reporting for failed
htpasswd actions due to a full /tmp volume (other programs may have
similar problems?)
PR: 6475
Status:
* Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
performance
Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
2.0
* Jim Winstead's <jimw@trainedmonkey.com> patch to add CookieDomain and
other small mod_usertrack features
* Dan Rench's <drench@xnet.com> patch to add allow the errmsg and timefmt
of SSI's to be modified in the config file. Patch is available in
PR6193
Open issues:
* What do we do about mod_proxy?
* Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
