83b50288fa7d306324bba68832011ea08f5c7832covener * Win32: Get mod_auth_digest working under win32
4e30ef014533a7e93c92d88306291f5e49c9692ftrawick - APR_HAS_RANDOM should be defined on windows and there is a
83b50288fa7d306324bba68832011ea08f5c7832covener lib/apr/misc/win32/rand.c which is basically a copy of what
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener mod_auth_digest used to use.
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener * Re-work configuration for top level Apache. Work should start with
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener trying to clean the autoconf stuff. If and only if this proves
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener impossible to do (very unlikely), autoconf should be removed and we
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener will roll our own config implementation.
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener NOTE: When this is implemented, it would be really nice if the
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener default cgi module on Unix with a threaded MPM is the cgid
5f066f496cd9f20a2a701255bc67d44e7cb46daetrawick module. This should be override-able of course.
5f066f496cd9f20a2a701255bc67d44e7cb46daetrawick Status: Jim Jagielski is looking into this.
2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener - Fix up ./configure to properly detect the various dynamic load
2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener libraries/flags on the different platforms (current, we default
2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener to -ldl which is wrong).

7b82bb697a4957f302e43df708dda478dea80e05trawick * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
7b82bb697a4957f302e43df708dda478dea80e05trawick (at least) needs to be done:
7b82bb697a4957f302e43df708dda478dea80e05trawick - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener is not available on 95/98.
b352b6577c91eee28506a1d7db4b6951a45b8faekbrand * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
b352b6577c91eee28506a1d7db4b6951a45b8faekbrand native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
b352b6577c91eee28506a1d7db4b6951a45b8faekbrand CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
b352b6577c91eee28506a1d7db4b6951a45b8faekbrand we access the logs?
e42e58d225104194ba5e894eb616be1ce2258e13jailletc * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
e42e58d225104194ba5e894eb616be1ce2258e13jailletc into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
e42e58d225104194ba5e894eb616be1ce2258e13jailletc parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic also seem out of sorts.

c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.

8861e3760584fe7f451b3519163502a63c406eb3humbedoohRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
8861e3760584fe7f451b3519163502a63c406eb3humbedooh * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
8861e3760584fe7f451b3519163502a63c406eb3humbedooh which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
e1f43cac62f6960a6945e1fb6e3288ef7082ac53rpluem * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
e1f43cac62f6960a6945e1fb6e3288ef7082ac53rpluem * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
f06e7c4b1bce6b6491e5de0b7998d3f5696b293dchrisd pthread MPMs will not build.
f06e7c4b1bce6b6491e5de0b7998d3f5696b293dchrisd * Win32: Reuse accept socket after transmitfile/close
179565be4043d7e5f9161aa75271fa0a001866d9covener This is not a bug, but would be nice to get this feature in
179565be4043d7e5f9161aa75271fa0a001866d9covener before ship.
111436a32ba1254291e4883292fb116d15fe8f64covener * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
fce4949fb0b309a5744afcd503c6ed2d35621ee2covener * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
fce4949fb0b309a5744afcd503c6ed2d35621ee2covener * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
7b7430e701e9a31ce809da7c220bb8dfcf68c86etrawick close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
7b7430e701e9a31ce809da7c220bb8dfcf68c86etrawick * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
ccc20788c1e5fc973f36df634399c89acb70deaejerenkrantz the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
ccc20788c1e5fc973f36df634399c89acb70deaejerenkrantz death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
d522f82d7ada07a0cedb8dc6b71eacf3477d7188trawick * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
d522f82d7ada07a0cedb8dc6b71eacf3477d7188trawick Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
d522f82d7ada07a0cedb8dc6b71eacf3477d7188trawick that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
1e1539a1e7d64b1af92636b81aac5aa50ee3163bminfrin platforms that do not support fork.
1e1539a1e7d64b1af92636b81aac5aa50ee3163bminfrin * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
efe780dcf13b2b95effabf897d694d8f23feac74trawick * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
81849cd8925f6ffaf57412aaaac8a6df0d33cbb6covener People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
81849cd8925f6ffaf57412aaaac8a6df0d33cbb6covener it would be nice to actually do so.
c8e4ae58e7b9eb27e5158d6980770d5064c50ba7trawick * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
c8e4ae58e7b9eb27e5158d6980770d5064c50ba7trawick would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
c8e4ae58e7b9eb27e5158d6980770d5064c50ba7trawick duplicates what is in APR.
c8e4ae58e7b9eb27e5158d6980770d5064c50ba7trawick Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
fe83f60b41477b14a37edcfcd1f7f5c5a1ebfe44minfrin something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
fe83f60b41477b14a37edcfcd1f7f5c5a1ebfe44minfrin process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
fe83f60b41477b14a37edcfcd1f7f5c5a1ebfe44minfrin process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
ba050a6f942b9fa0e81ed73437588005c569655ccovener * Move I/O layering into APR.
ba050a6f942b9fa0e81ed73437588005c569655ccovener * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
ba050a6f942b9fa0e81ed73437588005c569655ccovener loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
ba050a6f942b9fa0e81ed73437588005c569655ccovener system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
ba050a6f942b9fa0e81ed73437588005c569655ccovener * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
135ddda3a989215d2bedbcf1529bfb269c3eda23niq * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.

efe780dcf13b2b95effabf897d694d8f23feac74trawick * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats

33124689065ade0dfc8c54d8ebb734f9439cb89btrawick * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
9b0076ddd1103e5fa9c1f9bafde4b06ce244fbaecovener * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
9b0076ddd1103e5fa9c1f9bafde4b06ce244fbaecovener implementations (including something like the existing data type,
9b0076ddd1103e5fa9c1f9bafde4b06ce244fbaecovener plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).

77ca16c5676da23155311e13cee61e7eaba9fa3ejailletcOther bugs that need fixing:
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
f87299dab99bc04b51a6b8cad51b6795db862c0atrawick * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
f87299dab99bc04b51a6b8cad51b6795db862c0atrawick Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
f87299dab99bc04b51a6b8cad51b6795db862c0atrawick behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
4d12805e6c18253040223ea637acd6b3b3c18f60jorton completely.
4d12805e6c18253040223ea637acd6b3b3c18f60jorton * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a
4d12805e6c18253040223ea637acd6b3b3c18f60jorton sigwaiting thread. We need to work around this, perhaps unless

a4df2cd1e1391575a327c2a90ba4315f805a0a78covener * The mod_cgid daemon process isn't always cleaned up when httpd
