2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions

2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration

2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener * That is very unlikely, merges are additive. Much more likely,

1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener the default SetOutputFilter default or merge is borked.

1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener Unless it's the code that permits 'null' merges, per module.

1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener Still, it's probably in SetOutputFilter's behavior.

1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener * BrianP notes: directory_walk's handling of trailing slashes

10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic appears to be the cause: <3C1CF721.1090300@pacbell.net>

10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic

10b01707470385065764d144de9bb5297fe8ecf2ylavic * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this

b8efdc95bec9cf089aa1be0bfd07d46aa1137a7acovener r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very

b8efdc95bec9cf089aa1be0bfd07d46aa1137a7acovener end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides

b8efdc95bec9cf089aa1be0bfd07d46aa1137a7acovener authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving

c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic the security and robustness of 2.0.

c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...

c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,

f06e7c4b1bce6b6491e5de0b7998d3f5696b293dchrisd and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request

f06e7c4b1bce6b6491e5de0b7998d3f5696b293dchrisd internal processing phase from the run request phase.

179565be4043d7e5f9161aa75271fa0a001866d9covener types (once they are fully supported in APR).

179565be4043d7e5f9161aa75271fa0a001866d9covener Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS

111436a32ba1254291e4883292fb116d15fe8f64covener to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for

6d601599d3d65df0410eae6e573e75b2dbfb1fb4minfrin BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()

c12917da693bae4028a1d5a5e8224bceed8c739dsf original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,

c12917da693bae4028a1d5a5e8224bceed8c739dsf was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to

eafcc0ebf263d0ba69855b6e10958c4c1a2361bdsf a filesystem location and which might be tricked by

eafcc0ebf263d0ba69855b6e10958c4c1a2361bdsf ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the

eafcc0ebf263d0ba69855b6e10958c4c1a2361bdsf form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'.

eafcc0ebf263d0ba69855b6e10958c4c1a2361bdsf Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path

eafcc0ebf263d0ba69855b6e10958c4c1a2361bdsf segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least

d7ffd2da16d58b1a0de212e4d56f7aebb72bef26sf allow it conditionally with a directive.

bd3f5647b96d378d9c75c954e3f13582af32c643sf with worker, this becomes a showstopper.

bd3f5647b96d378d9c75c954e3f13582af32c643sf Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to

bd3f5647b96d378d9c75c954e3f13582af32c643sf the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM

2a7beea91d46beb41f043a84eaad060047ee04aafabien (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).

2a7beea91d46beb41f043a84eaad060047ee04aafabien I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone

2a7beea91d46beb41f043a84eaad060047ee04aafabien else wants to pick up where I've left off:

2a7beea91d46beb41f043a84eaad060047ee04aafabien - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child

584a85dd4047e38d3ed3a29b6662fcc9d100ae4csf processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.

584a85dd4047e38d3ed3a29b6662fcc9d100ae4csf - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,

584a85dd4047e38d3ed3a29b6662fcc9d100ae4csf at first the child or children will appear to work

f21e9e3d0bfb7a507ecc5bc963f2159d693503d1sf properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,

f21e9e3d0bfb7a507ecc5bc963f2159d693503d1sf however, where a request will hang until another concurrent

f21e9e3d0bfb7a507ecc5bc963f2159d693503d1sf request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will

f6b9c755a0b793e8a3a3aebd327ca20a86478117sf hang. My theory is that this has to do with the

f6b9c755a0b793e8a3a3aebd327ca20a86478117sf pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still

f6b9c755a0b793e8a3a3aebd327ca20a86478117sf possible that it is in APR.

132ee6ac1c26d6e8953836316ba50734eefab47bsf

132ee6ac1c26d6e8953836316ba50734eefab47bsf Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with

132ee6ac1c26d6e8953836316ba50734eefab47bsf select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.

85eacfc96a04547ef25aabbc06440039715084c2jorton So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread

85eacfc96a04547ef25aabbc06440039715084c2jorton scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to

85eacfc96a04547ef25aabbc06440039715084c2jorton the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between

536d2e7cd1fdec1255b8c3bdf41fdc714c506a54trawick our select() calls and their select() calls.

536d2e7cd1fdec1255b8c3bdf41fdc714c506a54trawick *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r

536d2e7cd1fdec1255b8c3bdf41fdc714c506a54trawick files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful

79c5787b92ac5f0e1cc82393816c77a006399316trawick those decrementing select calls have to do with the

7b395e4e878c28a4784919cfd2e704ddd14a3390jorton for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent

7b395e4e878c28a4784919cfd2e704ddd14a3390jorton and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that

7b395e4e878c28a4784919cfd2e704ddd14a3390jorton can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,

7b395e4e878c28a4784919cfd2e704ddd14a3390jorton it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful

536e48c08d674acac5d44929318f2ad928edc361jorton and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe

536e48c08d674acac5d44929318f2ad928edc361jorton to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding - Change ap_get_brigade prototype:

74499a117b3b2cd9666715a14f90c0e5d1a4ee8ajim Message-ID: <20020120115136.GI17601@ebuilt.com>

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding

74499a117b3b2cd9666715a14f90c0e5d1a4ee8ajim * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed

74499a117b3b2cd9666715a14f90c0e5d1a4ee8ajim by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible

74499a117b3b2cd9666715a14f90c0e5d1a4ee8ajim and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as

server-info or server-status.

This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.

* Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache

goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the

child's-child processes in the parent process.

OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?

stoddard: Not fixed. Shared scoreboard might offer a good

way for the parent to keep track of 'other child' processes

and whack them if the child goes down.

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

the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad

death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.

Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20

* Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:

The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The

remaining work includes:

(1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic

(2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)

(3) Enabling SSL extentions

(4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -

This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https

filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.

Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.

Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I

am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the

shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.

treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin

also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently

decoupled now, but isn't really sure.

* Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the

malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some

light weight memory management functions that allow freeing

memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no

longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard

bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly

not a hard requirement.

Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has

been discussed at length for months, but since

SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,

several people expressed the opinion that we should

get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets

need their own memory management (free list) functions.

Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least

have something to look at/compare with.

* Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid

Status: Ken asks, didn't Jeff fix this when he fixed the queue

overrun?

* 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.

* 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_dbm administration.

Questions; htdbm exists, time to kill dbmmanage, or does it remain

useful as a perl dbm management example? If we keep it,

do we address the issue above?

* 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

* callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value

for failure (Doug volunteers)

* 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.

* In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with

-lssl and -lcrypto. A workaround is in place right now where the

entire EXTRA_LIBS macro is being appended to the objects list, but

this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT

autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to

search for libssl and libcrypto and properly add them to mod_ssl's

link flags.

* Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead

of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom)

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.

OtherBill suggests: We at least seem to agree on eliminating

the <Container ~ foo> forms, and using only

<ContainerMatch foo> semantics.

* 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 :-)
