3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync back when this is fixed. rbb

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync administrator to remove or reorder filters. Once a filter is added
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync containers.

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync disabled for non-GET requests.

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * mod_negotiation will not serve a request when an early extention
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync is understood, but a later extention is not. e.g. if the request
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync ap-mime-exception-list will contain "index" and "bak", and the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync string "index.bak" doesn't match "index.html.bak". Need to
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync review the ap-mime-exception-list component by component to be
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync allow these cases. [This could be part of a patch to allow the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync name index.bak in the case above to match index.html.bak.en]

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives. MaxClients in
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync directive.

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * configure --enable-mods-shared=most option has issues. Example:

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync ./configure --enable-mods-shared=most

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync This builds mod_headers as a DSO (good) but builds mod_mime
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync as a compiled-in module (bad).

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The next
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync step is to figure out how the old three configuration contexts (global,
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync per-server, per-directory) can be ported to Apache 2.0 (especially the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync global context which has to survive server restarts RSE still does not
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync know how to port). Then the remaining source files (which depend on the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync configuration contexts) which are still tagged with "-" in
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync modules/ssl/README can be ported.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync One more thing to figure out is how and when mod_ssl can provide the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync interactive pass phrase dialog (in Apache 1.3 it used the first init
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync round [where tty was still not detached] and skipped the second init
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync round [where it was already detached]). Apache 2.0 requires (or already
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync has?) an official hook where such tty-dialogs can be performed.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync RSE is on holiday until June 11th, 2001. After this he starts
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync working on mod_ssl again and tries to make mod_ssl running inside
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync Apache 2.0 by end of June. If anyone wants to help making mod_ssl
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync running in the meantime, feel free to make your hands dirty inside
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync modules/ssl/. Do whatever you think is appropriate to get it
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync running. I've no objections of any kind, except: just do not
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync remove any old functionality. Keep everything, even if it needs
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync #if 0...endif wrapped to not make trouble for you.

3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync optimization working in threaded. prefork's new design for how
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * mod_tls is very specific to OpenSSL. Make the API calls
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync more generic to support other encryption libraries.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync not a hard requirement.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync Status: Cliff, David, et al have discussed using the blocks SMS
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync for this. First step is to s/malloc/apr_sms_malloc/g, etc.
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync We could then have a thread-private SMS that is pointed
3194da424708abdd288b28d96892b3a5f3f7df0bvboxsync to by the conn_rec's or something so that all calls to

* Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
* 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.
* OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
* 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_db/dbm administration.
* 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."
* 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
* APR-ize resolver stuff in mod_unique_id (Jeff volunteers)
* callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value
for failure (Doug volunteers)
* when prefork bails out due to an initialization error in the detached
process (e.g., mutex init failure), other children (cgid, at least)
are left hanging around
* 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.

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.
* 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: This is being set aside until the IPv6 work is finished
so that we know exactly what is required.
