91a71946d0fb28c0866139edef3dd59f36ba5b9cstoddard - APR_HAS_RANDOM should be defined on windows and there is a
91a71946d0fb28c0866139edef3dd59f36ba5b9cstoddard lib/apr/misc/win32/rand.c which is basically a copy of what

d208bda4a893cc81ed5d3ed1cdd7d706e012bd42stoddard * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
d208bda4a893cc81ed5d3ed1cdd7d706e012bd42stoddard (at least) needs to be done:
d208bda4a893cc81ed5d3ed1cdd7d706e012bd42stoddard - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
d208bda4a893cc81ed5d3ed1cdd7d706e012bd42stoddard specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe is not available on 95/98.
75960f20f88dad6bc67892c711c429946063d133stoddard * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
75960f20f88dad6bc67892c711c429946063d133stoddard native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
75960f20f88dad6bc67892c711c429946063d133stoddard CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
75960f20f88dad6bc67892c711c429946063d133stoddard we access the logs?
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe also seem out of sorts.
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe OtherBill is working on this
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe * Win32: fix build/run time environment to remove ApacheCore.dll
a9e07e4f90adcc7bc768db3055431c3dcd560cd1manoj * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
f6a6245816cd866361da8c576b1f47c7a54b6610fanf Status: The best known candidate would be something from
97b758d0b174d7b7c5a1de1a583f5840ec3fc910trawick Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
641cb23141f2238ed09e3b9fa79189225f8a2bcbrbb * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
641cb23141f2238ed09e3b9fa79189225f8a2bcbrbb a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manojRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
b187d568e1507d75139ebc13ca945b38fc05d55cstoddard * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c.
b187d568e1507d75139ebc13ca945b38fc05d55cstoddard Common logging API.
1c6fb1e726ce22694de0e9a957adb67b929e5d4fstoddard * Create unified scoreboard API and implementation shared across
1c6fb1e726ce22694de0e9a957adb67b929e5d4fstoddard * Document mod_file_cache.
8bed76428f56e5c643174a2d6807c3f18016af5cbjh * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
8bed76428f56e5c643174a2d6807c3f18016af5cbjh which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
8bed76428f56e5c643174a2d6807c3f18016af5cbjh * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
cfc020d6d6fc9b31d8945915e65a8787a796eb73stoddard * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
cfc020d6d6fc9b31d8945915e65a8787a796eb73stoddard pthread MPMs will not build.
2aae6faee508221efbeaba5547ca79b7a20ef047stoddard * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
10b386767f6c87b45937244371cb751f0b454d16wrowe death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
a5ed555df952c85bc1b179f5981e8a6c54ba16e6stoddard * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
a5ed555df952c85bc1b179f5981e8a6c54ba16e6stoddard Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
a5ed555df952c85bc1b179f5981e8a6c54ba16e6stoddard that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
a5ed555df952c85bc1b179f5981e8a6c54ba16e6stoddard platforms that do not support fork.
70f6f32765cfaadd6da8de6f0fea97ddd72d8fadmanoj * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
70f6f32765cfaadd6da8de6f0fea97ddd72d8fadmanoj People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
70f6f32765cfaadd6da8de6f0fea97ddd72d8fadmanoj it would be nice to actually do so.
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj duplicates what is in APR.
1e585ba09ea32272e63c4c39c35491e975d21d98stoddard Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
1e585ba09ea32272e63c4c39c35491e975d21d98stoddard something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
1e585ba09ea32272e63c4c39c35491e975d21d98stoddard process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
1e585ba09ea32272e63c4c39c35491e975d21d98stoddard process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
75960f20f88dad6bc67892c711c429946063d133stoddard * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
302dc1f7b3feee23a91ad8f3cf3cb2edd95a557bmanoj * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
302dc1f7b3feee23a91ad8f3cf3cb2edd95a557bmanoj are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
ff849e4163ed879288f0df15f78b6c9d278ec804fanf * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
9805ac88e1befa6dea11d8513023f150d8f8e807fanf * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
9805ac88e1befa6dea11d8513023f150d8f8e807fanf implementations (including something like the existing data type,
9805ac88e1befa6dea11d8513023f150d8f8e807fanf plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
9805ac88e1befa6dea11d8513023f150d8f8e807fanf Status: fanf is working on this.

8d07897b52e3b7055874501f8a499e75800db206gstein - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static are a bit wonky.
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something).
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein would allow mod_mmap_static to munge what the translation has
93c5cba06b623ebe8e4372e886eece12d9a80c3egstein decided to do.

d5defd5a0c5cdbaf74b85939484dc2b6c8317d19manoj Until someone has a better way, we'll probably just rename it
d5defd5a0c5cdbaf74b85939484dc2b6c8317d19manoj "MaxConnectionsPerChild".
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj completely.
0bff2f28ef945280c17099c142126178a78e1e54manoj * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a

09bd86d0db1114ee23eda0a6eb76ca055877a1cftrawick * The mod_cgid daemon process isn't always cleaned up when httpd
09bd86d0db1114ee23eda0a6eb76ca055877a1cftrawick gets SIGTERM. Jeff thinks it may be as simple as registering
