5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews platforms. Handle this in the README.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews The binbuild issue isn't AIX. It is

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews something that could happen anywhere that

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User the binbuild-er has their own expat.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Handle this by patching binbuild.sh for a

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User beta roll or putting a patch in the README for

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews use by people who want to do binbuild but

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User the default SetOutputFilter default or merge is borked.

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt Unless it's the code that permits 'null' merges, per module.

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt Still, it's probably in SetOutputFilter's behavior.

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * BrianP notes: directory_walk's handling of trailing slashes

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt appears to be the cause: <3C1CF721.1090300@pacbell.net>

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews the security and robustness of 2.0.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt problem. Yum. If another platform has this

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews with worker, this becomes a showstopper.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt else wants to pick up where I've left off:

a9a054302dd8a52fa9023cc98cc565e9c0008527Automatic Updater - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.

a9a054302dd8a52fa9023cc98cc565e9c0008527Automatic Updater - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,

a9a054302dd8a52fa9023cc98cc565e9c0008527Automatic Updater at first the child or children will appear to work

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,

a9a054302dd8a52fa9023cc98cc565e9c0008527Automatic Updater however, where a request will hang until another concurrent

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User hang. My theory is that this has to do with the

7e71f05d8643aca84914437c900cb716444507e4Tinderbox User pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User possible that it is in APR.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread

18fa75b694d056da4be3ebfc2185d007d4882752Automatic Updater scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews our select() calls and their select() calls.

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet

7e71f05d8643aca84914437c900cb716444507e4Tinderbox User those decrementing select calls have to do with the

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User that will allow them to control the server � la apachectl.

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that

fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews * revamp the input filter behavior, per discussions since

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt February (and especially at the hackathon last

cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with

9a5087bf58f651bfff841192aba5afd06760d6ceTinderbox User *up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also

4abdfc917e6635a7c81d1f931a0c79227e72d025Mark Andrews fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt connection (buggering up persistent conns).

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.

ad8f23aed6c75f94f238c1f23f4e17515d28eb55Tinderbox User The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl,

4abdfc917e6635a7c81d1f931a0c79227e72d025Mark Andrews mod_proxy, and ap_[r]getline are switched to the new logic.

* 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.

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.

* 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?

* 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."

Ian says: "multi-dbm is in, but it still has ndbm support hardcoded

is this still required? isn't ndbm supported via gdbm?"

* 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)

[PATCH] install as win32 service with domain account

Status: Cannot accept password-as-arg, we should prompt the

user when -k install/-k config with a user argument.

* PR#5993: general

AllowOverride should have a 'CheckNone' and 'AllowNone' argument

instead of only 'None'

Status:

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

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
