bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (at least) needs to be done:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes is not available on 95/98.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes rand.c, at least.)

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes also seem out of sorts.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes containers.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * remove the --disable-shared from the subdir config of APR(UTIL)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes before the final release. (in fact, it might even be nice to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes allow for Apache config/build against an already-installed
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes APR(UTIL))
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Note: we need to do a "make install" for APR(UTIL) so the shared
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes libraries can be installed properly. We could also use that
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes point to install include files (rather than have Apache
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes know everything that needs to be installed from the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes sub-packages). The original impetus for doing the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes disable-shared was because the shared lib wasn't getting
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes installed and a "make clean" in aprutil would make Apache
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes fail to load.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * users who want to install third-party modules into the Apache
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes source tree (for static linking) need to have autoconf and
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes libtool installed. This is because the module needs to have its
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes config.m4 incorporated into ./configure, which means "buildconf"
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes must be run.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Note: This is in part because we have removed the "extra" directory.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes In the Apache-2.0 repository, this directory had a config.m4
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes file that allowed people to add external modules by
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes specifying --with-module on the configure line.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Mod_autoindex is still causing too many buckets and too many bucket
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes brigades to be created. We need to improve the way the old ap_r*
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes functions interact with buckets. This is being tabled until after
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the beta.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * The directives to setup output filters need to be re-visited. These
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes directives aren't consistent with what we already have, and they don't
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes always make good sense.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes translation has decided to do.

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.
* The MM library is built as static and shared library. This should
be set up to build only the required version.
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
Documentation that needs writing:
* Mod_status docs are needed.
* The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a
given platform
* New directives in the various MPMs and appropriate links from
obsolete directives in core.html to the MPM documentation.
* Revise manual/stopping.html and the last part of
manual/misc/perf-tuning.html to take account of the MPMs.
* API documentation
Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
(apache-2.0/htdocs/hooks.html)
* Changes since 1.3.9 can be more easily seen in the commitlog file
dev.apache.org:/home/cvs/CVSROOT/commitlogs/apache-2.0
which includes some of Roy's comments when the changes were
committed in rough change-sets by purpose. Note that the commitlog
does not show the contents of new files until later.
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?)

* 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?
* Is conf/highperformance.conf-dist obsolete? It looks obsolete.
