15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem Status: Bill will fix this.
15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
42a8abda4b0bc756bc72fb178a2d1553a8d4489dylavic (at least) needs to be done:
42a8abda4b0bc756bc72fb178a2d1553a8d4489dylavic - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
06b8f183140c8e02e0974e938a05078b511d1603covener - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which
06b8f183140c8e02e0974e938a05078b511d1603covener is not available on 95/98.
15890c9306ba98f6fc243e15a3c4778ddc7d773erpluem * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the
259878293a997ff49f5ddfc53d3739cbdc25444ecovener native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the
259878293a997ff49f5ddfc53d3739cbdc25444ecovener CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time
259878293a997ff49f5ddfc53d3739cbdc25444ecovener we access the logs?
3de33669d2bd0862b25ac686f8f154c25b775ebbtrawick * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation
3de33669d2bd0862b25ac686f8f154c25b775ebbtrawick into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry
3de33669d2bd0862b25ac686f8f154c25b775ebbtrawick parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters.
504e825ce06ccae8d0a3640a52a79f6a3b38ac04trawick Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken,
504e825ce06ccae8d0a3640a52a79f6a3b38ac04trawick signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown
bb6412ca241e73336374d5f04e56ff01ac880b57ylavic also seem out of sorts.

c322925cadc8258ece6d8262d1811118ca5ff9b1ylavic * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix.
c322925cadc8258ece6d8262d1811118ca5ff9b1ylavic Status: The best known candidate would be something from
c322925cadc8258ece6d8262d1811118ca5ff9b1ylavic Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?"
b54b024c06a19926832d77d40ba35ad8c41e4d3dminfrin * Modify mod_cgi and mod_cgid to deal with directories. This allows
b54b024c06a19926832d77d40ba35ad8c41e4d3dminfrin a lot of directives to be removed from the core.
65967d05f839dbf27cf91d91fa79585eeae19660minfrinRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
65967d05f839dbf27cf91d91fa79585eeae19660minfrin * Create unified scoreboard API and implementation shared across
8152945ae46857b170cb227e79bb799f4fc7710dminfrin * Document mod_file_cache.
8152945ae46857b170cb227e79bb799f4fc7710dminfrin * OS/2: Get loadable modules working again. Requires shared core support
75f5c2db254c0167a0e396254460de09b775d203trawick which doesn't appear to be catered for in the current build system.
75f5c2db254c0167a0e396254460de09b775d203trawick * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM.
11f1871b90149f8af3bf4e884dcc404436686967ylavic * Build scripts do not recognise AIX 4.2.1 pthreads, so the
11f1871b90149f8af3bf4e884dcc404436686967ylavic pthread MPMs will not build.
11aca81b7631c2d33b1fc87741e6be5559c913e9ylavic * Win32: Enable the winnt MPM to use the new scoreboard API
11aca81b7631c2d33b1fc87741e6be5559c913e9ylavic * Win32: Implement ap_shm_ functions in APR.
4f0358189bfa57b8e75bd6b94db264302a8f336amrumph * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the
4f0358189bfa57b8e75bd6b94db264302a8f336amrumph close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios.
5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
5716f9c6daa92dde5f2f9d11ed63f7c9549c223atrawick death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener Consider introducing HAVE_FORK feature macro. Architect start-up code
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener platforms that do not support fork.
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener * Clean the code. There are a lot of places we used APR but didn't
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener remove the hacks that were required for the cross-platform code in
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener 1.3. We need to make the code look like APR was supposed to be there.
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener * Go throught the 1.3 Bug DB and research the bugs marked "suspended".
54d750a84a175d8e338880514d440773eb986b50covener People were told these would be considered for inclusion in Apache 2.0,
83b50288fa7d306324bba68832011ea08f5c7832covener it would be nice to actually do so.
83b50288fa7d306324bba68832011ea08f5c7832covener * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener duplicates what is in APR.
ac95effcd4bcdf02e41becbec4e9f2d3c577e7fdcovener Bill says we need a new procattr, APR_CREATE_SUSPENDED (or
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener something similar) to direct ap_create_process to create the
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener process suspended. We also need a call to wake up the suspended
f628b0e7cb9bf51de44af6b4355bc520fda84f4ecovener process This may not be able to be implemented everywhere though.
5f066f496cd9f20a2a701255bc67d44e7cb46daetrawick * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
5f066f496cd9f20a2a701255bc67d44e7cb46daetrawick loosing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
5f066f496cd9f20a2a701255bc67d44e7cb46daetrawick system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
2e15620d724fb8e3a5be183b917359a2fd6e9468covener * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@covalenet.net> is working on this.
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener * The connection status table is not very efficient. Also, very few stats
1b988c41ee505962781d110a3e4c2c90f1ea0aa4covener are exported to the connection status table (easy to fix), and mod_status
b8efdc95bec9cf089aa1be0bfd07d46aa1137a7acovener * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic * Replace tables with a proper opaque ADT that has pluggable
c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic implementations (including something like the existing data type,
c12b284247f00b5696adabb0b855ce0669465764ylavic plus hash tables for speed, with options for more later).

d522f82d7ada07a0cedb8dc6b71eacf3477d7188trawick * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static are a bit wonky.
1e1539a1e7d64b1af92636b81aac5aa50ee3163bminfrin The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such
1e1539a1e7d64b1af92636b81aac5aa50ee3163bminfrin as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something).
1e1539a1e7d64b1af92636b81aac5aa50ee3163bminfrin Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which
273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza would allow mod_mmap_static to munge what the translation has
273e512f20f262e5e2aa8e0e83371d1929fb76adjkaluza decided to do.
