2N/APlease consult the following STATUS files for information
2N/ARELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
2N/A * win32 scoreboard should _not_ use anon with no scoreboard name, it
2N/A should revert to the old method if scoreboard name is null (use the
2N/A NOT_SHARED bit that we do in -X). At this moment Win32 doesn't
2N/A -need- to have a shared score, until we create multiple processes,
2N/A or unless a module in the parent wants scoreboard data from the child.
2N/A If such a module is installed [for the moment] they aught to configure
2N/A the ScoreboardFile directive.
2N/A * mod_rewrite's locks (win32) were broken by recent changes to the
2N/A apr_lock_t api (which we were deprecating in the first place, so
2N/A I'm far from certain why it changed.) It has to do with creating
2N/A the rewrite logs mutex. The solution is to find the brokenness in
2N/A apr_lock_t, but if it goes away, why waste the time?
2N/A * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions
2N/A if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration
2N/A Message-ID: <m3itbdiijq.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
2N/A * Test suite failures:
2N/A o perchild doesn't even build
2N/A o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
2N/A * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
2N/A end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
2N/A authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
2N/A the security and robustness of 2.0.
2N/A Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...
2N/A Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net>
2N/A we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
2N/A and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
2N/A internal processing phase from the run request phase.
2N/A * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
2N/A hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
2N/A order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
2N/A back when this is fixed. rbb
2N/A administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
2N/A filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
2N/A like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
2N/A * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
2N/A ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
2N/A directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
2N/A Status: Bill has some code in his tree that accomplishes
2N/A this, and will commit it Friday after it's tested.
2N/A * Fold mod_auth_db features back into mod_auth_dbm, and depricate it.
2N/A This can't wait until we have a 2.0-gold release, if folks need
2N/A to move over to auth_dbm, we can't do that to them after 2.0 gold.
2N/A Status: Ian says.. auth_dbm can now handle multiple DBM types,
2N/A is this still an issue?
2N/A Vote: Remove mod_auth_db
2N/A +1: Justin, Ian, Lars
2N/A * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
2N/A types (once they are fully supported in APR).
2N/A Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
2N/A to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
2N/A LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
2N/A platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker
2N/A with limited OS exposure.
2N/A * ap_create_scoreboard() can exit the process, leaving stuff like
2N/A mod_cgid's daemon process stranded. Either ap_create_scoreboard()
2N/A needs to be called at a different time or the pre-mpm hook needs
2N/A to be able to return an error code.
2N/A * A binbuild installation picks up the right libraries when
2N/A running apachectl because we set the appropriate environment
2N/A variable, but ab, htpasswd, etc. don't know how to pick up apr,
2N/A Message-ID: <20020116000226.GA15991@ebuilt.com>
2N/A * mod_cgid leaks pipe descriptors, apparently for every request.
2N/A I would guess that this is due to recent apr_file_dup[2]
2N/A I was unable to recreate the problem with mod_cgi (yea!).
2N/A * Aaron is working on an update to the scoreboard creation
2N/A routines that will be more "correct" in terms of using
2N/A anonymous shared memory vs. name-based shared memory on
2N/A the platforms that support either.
2N/ARELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
2N/A * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
2N/A Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
2N/A Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
2N/A on all platforms and clean up our build system
2N/A * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
2N/A completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
2N/A ap_unescape_url() in
util.c). It's permitted and passed
2N/A through in the query string, however. Roy says the
2N/A original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
2N/A was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
2N/A a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
2N/A ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
2N/A Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
2N/A segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
2N/A allow it conditionally with a directive.
2N/A * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
2N/A if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
2N/A a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
2N/A lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
2N/A the child_init hook (
i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
2N/A More examination and analysis is required.
2N/A Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
2N/A Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
2N/A Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
2N/A problem. Yum. If another platform has this
2N/A with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
2N/A Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
2N/A the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
2N/A (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
2N/A I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
2N/A else wants to pick up where I've left off:
2N/A - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
2N/A processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
2N/A - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
2N/A at first the child or children will appear to work
2N/A properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
2N/A however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
2N/A request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
2N/A hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
2N/A pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
2N/A possible that it is in APR.
2N/A Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
2N/A select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
2N/A So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
2N/A scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
2N/A the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
2N/A our select() calls and their select() calls.
2N/A *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
2N/A files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
2N/A when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
2N/A waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
2N/A those decrementing select calls have to do with the
2N/A scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
2N/A * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
2N/A that will allow them to control the server � la apachectl.
2N/A Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
2N/A an external dependency (
e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
2N/A Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
2N/A rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
2N/A for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
2N/A and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
2N/A can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
2N/A it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
2N/A and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
2N/A to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to figure
2N/A out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
2N/A * revamp the input filter behavior, per discussions since
2N/A February (and especially at the hackathon last
2N/A April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
2N/A *up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
2N/A read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
2N/A refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
2N/A f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
2N/A fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
2N/A connection (buggering up persistent conns).
2N/A Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
2N/A The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl, and
2N/A mod_proxy are switched to the new logic.
2N/A However, ap_getline() still needs to be refactored out. But,
2N/A there's a problem there: ap_getline() peeks ahead for MIME
2N/A continuation (first character on line is space or \t) and
2N/A stores unused data in core_request_config which violates the
2N/A abstraction. That's cheating. So, we may not be able to
2N/A implement this without setting some data aside (yuck!).
2N/A I believe this is OtherBill's main complaint with the current
2N/A AIUI (correct me if I'm wrong!), OtherBill believes we
2N/A should have a pushback option so that we can return unread
2N/A data - this would solve this case. However, my question to
2N/A him is how do we handle stuff like mod_ssl - we can't "unread"
2N/A data. So, do we have two brigades for each filter? An in
2N/A brigade and a returned brigade? That seems messy. To
2N/A everyone else, can we refactor ap_getline() without pushback
2N/A - socket bucket and core input filter changes. see end of
2N/A message ID (Feb 27): <20010227075326.S2297@lyra.org>

2N/A * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
2N/A and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
2N/A not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
2N/A server-info or server-status.
2N/A This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
2N/A * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
2N/A goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
2N/A child's-child processes in the parent process.
2N/A OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
2N/A * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
2N/A the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
2N/A death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
2N/A Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
2N/A * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
2N/A remaining work includes:
2N/A (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
2N/A (3) Enabling SSL extentions
2N/A (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
2N/A This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
2N/A filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
2N/A Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
2N/A Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
2N/A am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
2N/A shared memory another way that is much cleaner (
i.e. 2N/A treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
2N/A also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
2N/A decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
2N/A * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
2N/A optimization working in worker. prefork's new design for how
2N/A to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
2N/A * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
2N/A light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
2N/A memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
2N/A longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
2N/A bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
2N/A not a hard requirement.
2N/A Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
2N/A been discussed at length for months, but since
2N/A SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
2N/A several people expressed the opinion that we should
2N/A get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
2N/A need their own memory management (free list) functions.
2N/A Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
2N/A * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
2N/A * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
2N/A in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
2N/A what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
2N/A works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.
2N/A Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.20.0104031557420.20876-100000@alive.znep.com>
2N/A * Document mod_file_cache.
2N/A * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
2N/A * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
2N/A Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
2N/A in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
2N/A would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
2N/A duplicates what is in APR.
2N/A * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
2N/A losing error status (
i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
2N/A system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
2N/A * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
2N/A the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
2N/A necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
2N/A rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
2N/A Status: Mladen Turk has posted several patches and ideas.
2N/A Key question, part of htpasswd, or a seperate utility?
2N/A prefer htpasswd: Lars
2N/A prefer seperate: OtherBill
2N/A * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm
2N/A Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer)
2N/A Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
2N/A remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
2N/A to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
2N/A Will says: "bs - I may choose the fastest - most efficient native
2N/A dbm implementation, for shared proc caches, ssl session
2N/A caching, etc, but that has nothing to do with maintaining
2N/A a userlist via dbm, which has to remain readable between
2N/A for apr-util would let us do this with just apr, though."
2N/A Ian says: "multi-dbm is in, but it still has ndbm support hardcoded
2N/A is this still required? isn't ndbm supported via gdbm?"
2N/A * Integrate mod_dav.
2N/A Some additional items remaining:
2N/A - case_preserved_filename stuff
2N/A (use the new canonical name stuff?)
2N/A - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
2N/A - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
2N/A * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
2N/A are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
2N/A function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
2N/A something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
2N/A "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
2N/A translation has decided to do.
2N/A Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1
2N/A calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and
2N/A ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()]
2N/A * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary)
2N/A * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id
and/or mod_usertrack
2N/A * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put
2N/A into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0.
2N/A * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
2N/A for failure (Doug volunteers)
2N/A * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
2N/A (at least) needs to be done:
2N/A - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
2N/A specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
2N/A - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
2N/A is not available on 95/98.
2N/A - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
2N/A rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
2N/A randomization in APR itself.
2N/A actually works) and add in a splash of Win9x service code.
2N/A * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with
2N/A -lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the
2N/A entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but
2N/A this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
2N/A autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to
2N/A search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's
2N/A * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
2N/A +1: Justin, Jeff, Ian
2N/A -0: Aaron (premature decision, needs more discussion), Lars
2N/A -0: Cliff (I think the default config should be the safest possible)
2N/A * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead
2N/A of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

2N/A "MaxConnectionsPerChild".

2N/A behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers

2N/A needed. Apache 1.3 just never stashed "multipart" into
2N/A r->content_type. We should probably follow suit since the
2N/A byterange stuff doesn't want the rest of the code to see the
2N/A multipart content-type; the other code should still think it is
2N/A dealing with the <orig_ct> stuff.
2N/A Status: Greg volunteers to investigate (esp. since he was most
2N/A likely the one to break it :-)

2N/A so that we know exactly what is required.
