bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Revert to a 1.3 behavior and allow a non-file request to travel
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes through the request cycle. If any request gets to the core handler,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes without a flag that this r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes then we 500 at the very end of the request cycle. This provides
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the security and robustness of 2.0. This does not remove the new
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes map_to_storage hook itself, but makes it optional for some cases.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There is an observation that svn + ssl has a significant interaction
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes in dir_merge sections with the new location_walk optimization. This
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes could reflect a bug in retrieving the cached location_walk, or some
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes other nasty mis-config. Core dump post to httpd-dev;

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There is an interesting problem with directory_walk, now that it is
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes optional (may be overridden by a map_to_storage hook.) The change
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes of per_dir_default for a vhost switch doesn't happen until dir_walk.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This switch needs to be pushed out of directory_walk, perhaps the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes burden is put on the 'switcher' of the ->server entry, such as
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes mod_vhost_alias itself.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes back when this is fixed. rbb

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes filename extensions. Add...FilterByType will add to this quandry.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Some sort of resolution needs to be proposed,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes"
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes disabled for non-GET requests.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * mod_negotiation will not serve a request when an early extention
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes is understood, but a later extention is not. e.g. if the request
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes index.html.bak is recieved, and negotition could find the file
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes index.html.bak.en, it still won't be served because the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes ap-mime-exception-list will contain "index" and "bak", and the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes string "index.bak" doesn't match "index.html.bak". Need to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes review the ap-mime-exception-list component by component to be
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes allow these cases. [This could be part of a patch to allow the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes name index.bak in the case above to match index.html.bak.en]

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives. MaxClients in
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes directive.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * configure --enable-mods-shared=most option has issues. Example:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes ./configure --enable-mods-shared=most

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This builds mod_headers as a DSO (good) but builds mod_mime
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes as a compiled-in module (bad).

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes and in-your-face.) This proposed change would not depricate Alias.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes remaining work includes:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (3) Enabling SSL extentions
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes optimization working in threaded. prefork's new design for how
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * mod_tls is very specific to OpenSSL. Make the API calls
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes more generic to support other encryption libraries.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes not a hard requirement.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes been discussed at length for months, but since
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes several people expressed the opinion that we should
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes need their own memory management (free list) functions.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes have something to look at/compare with.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes duplicates what is in APR.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes system call and replacing it with a generic error code)

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm

bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes * Integrate mod_dav.
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes Some additional items remaining:
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - case_preserved_filename stuff
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes (use the new canonical name stuff?)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
bb2b38cd44b032118359afbc743efbea12f48e61bnicholes
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.
* 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 :-)
