e6b4bd1113567627ab6bb6c6a7105e1e01a7d889jailletc * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
e466c40e1801982602ee0200c9e8b61cc148742djailletc (at least) needs to be done:
e466c40e1801982602ee0200c9e8b61cc148742djailletc - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
457468b82e59d01eba00dd9d0817309c8f5e414ejim specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
457468b82e59d01eba00dd9d0817309c8f5e414ejim - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
457468b82e59d01eba00dd9d0817309c8f5e414ejim is not available on 95/98.
04983e3bd1754764eec7d6bb772fe3b0bf391771jorton * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
b6b7079ea8e24865adc82c4be6758b31cf4aa429jailletc CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
b6b7079ea8e24865adc82c4be6758b31cf4aa429jailletc we access the logs?
599e58561f7a206f05442a72d99337657e9097e7trawick * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
599e58561f7a206f05442a72d99337657e9097e7trawick into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
599e58561f7a206f05442a72d99337657e9097e7trawick parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
8c72b8fd8e88f145e10885629fe30b70888525dccovener Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
8c72b8fd8e88f145e10885629fe30b70888525dccovener signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
8c72b8fd8e88f145e10885629fe30b70888525dccovener also seem out of sorts.

6cc3b681fe41375fccbe86a474cd00ecea610d63rjung * Win32: fix build/run time environment to remove ApacheCore.dll
15660979a30d251681463de2e0584853890082accovener * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
15660979a30d251681463de2e0584853890082accovener Status: The best known candidate would be something from
15660979a30d251681463de2e0584853890082accovener Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
cfd9415521847b2f9394fad04fb701cfb955f503rjung * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
cfd9415521847b2f9394fad04fb701cfb955f503rjung a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
28c31fb73c1264bd1d0ff932573677030b024c7dwroweRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
28c31fb73c1264bd1d0ff932573677030b024c7dwrowe * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
28c31fb73c1264bd1d0ff932573677030b024c7dwrowe which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
8491e0600f69b0405e156ea8a419653c065c645bcovener * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
8741bcaa5df21e109bde21c01093d3991fcf1471jailletc * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
8741bcaa5df21e109bde21c01093d3991fcf1471jailletc pthread MPMs will not build.
63b9f1f5880391261705f696d7d65507bbe9ace3covener * Win32: Reuse accept socket after transmitfile/close
63b9f1f5880391261705f696d7d65507bbe9ace3covener This is not a bug, but would be nice to get this feature in
63b9f1f5880391261705f696d7d65507bbe9ace3covener before ship.
87a26948305eab2bab8a4fb3f2a21f6725055790covener * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
4efd27d2bd53a819a194f8a942f8881c1927755eylavic * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
4efd27d2bd53a819a194f8a942f8881c1927755eylavic * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
4efd27d2bd53a819a194f8a942f8881c1927755eylavic close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
983528026996668ea295be95aedb9c7a346af470ylavic * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
983528026996668ea295be95aedb9c7a346af470ylavic the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
249ab52ef73a2b33446ae07904e3526b57251411ylavic death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
249ab52ef73a2b33446ae07904e3526b57251411ylavic * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
1f0836d4b1a203c7b375daae691beb95f6036205ylavic Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
1f0836d4b1a203c7b375daae691beb95f6036205ylavic that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
1f0836d4b1a203c7b375daae691beb95f6036205ylavic platforms that do not support fork.
3b11e6ec1c5273d6a8968460db650e7ca99c49c0ylavic * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
3b11e6ec1c5273d6a8968460db650e7ca99c49c0ylavic remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
01402a0fbec8bd11f6c10d8ef9c9cceac68bb787ylavic 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
01402a0fbec8bd11f6c10d8ef9c9cceac68bb787ylavic * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
49dacedb6c387b786b7911082ff35121a45f414bcovener People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
49dacedb6c387b786b7911082ff35121a45f414bcovener it would be nice to actually do so.
49dacedb6c387b786b7911082ff35121a45f414bcovener * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
3c990331fc6702119e4f5b8ba9eae3021aea5265jim would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
3c990331fc6702119e4f5b8ba9eae3021aea5265jim duplicates what is in APR.
3c990331fc6702119e4f5b8ba9eae3021aea5265jim Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
fc42512879dd0504532f52fe5d0d0383dda96a1eniq something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
fc42512879dd0504532f52fe5d0d0383dda96a1eniq process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
fc42512879dd0504532f52fe5d0d0383dda96a1eniq process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
da0442c0440caef34706e2c2f3af05cb65921cc0jailletc * Move I/O layering into APR.
da0442c0440caef34706e2c2f3af05cb65921cc0jailletc * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
da0442c0440caef34706e2c2f3af05cb65921cc0jailletc loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
06b8f183140c8e02e0974e938a05078b511d1603covener system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
06b8f183140c8e02e0974e938a05078b511d1603covener * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
259878293a997ff49f5ddfc53d3739cbdc25444ecovener * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
259878293a997ff49f5ddfc53d3739cbdc25444ecovener Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@covalenet.net> is working on this.
15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats

65967d05f839dbf27cf91d91fa79585eeae19660minfrin * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
65967d05f839dbf27cf91d91fa79585eeae19660minfrin * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
65967d05f839dbf27cf91d91fa79585eeae19660minfrin implementations (including something like the existing data type,
8152945ae46857b170cb227e79bb799f4fc7710dminfrin plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).
8152945ae46857b170cb227e79bb799f4fc7710dminfrin Status: fanf is working on this.

5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick - case_preserved_filename stuff
5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick - turn dav/fs/ into a true module; remove existing config hackery
5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick - fix and re-enable sdbm_lock.c
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener - move LimitXMLRequestBody, add ap_get_limit_xml_body()
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static are a bit wonky.
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something).
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which
7a3aa12f0eda24793ee26d6a179bd53132e9dae8covener would allow mod_mmap_static to munge what the translation has
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener decided to do.

273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza completely.
273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza * SIGSEGV on Linux (glibc 2.1.2) isn't caught properly by a

fe83f60b41477b14a37edcfcd1f7f5c5a1ebfe44minfrin there is hope soon for a fixed glibc.
fe83f60b41477b14a37edcfcd1f7f5c5a1ebfe44minfrin * The mod_cgid daemon process isn't always cleaned up when httpd
