03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevelRELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * win32 scoreboard should _not_ use anon with no scoreboard name, it
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel should revert to the old method if scoreboard name is null (use the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel NOT_SHARED bit that we do in -X). At this moment Win32 doesn't
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel -need- to have a shared score, until we create multiple processes,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel or unless a module in the parent wants scoreboard data from the child.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel If such a module is installed [for the moment] they aught to configure
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the ScoreboardFile directive.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * mod_rewrite's locks (win32) were broken by recent changes to the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel apr_lock_t api (which we were deprecating in the first place, so
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel I'm far from certain why it changed.) It has to do with creating
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the rewrite logs mutex. The solution is to find the brokenness in
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel apr_lock_t, but if it goes away, why waste the time?
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * ap_directory_walk skips some per-dir config merge functions
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel if there is no "<Directory />" block in the configuration

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Test suite failures:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel o perchild doesn't even build
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>):
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * If any request gets to the core handler, without a flag that this
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel r->filename was tested by dir/file_walk, we need to 500 at the very
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel end of the ap_process_request_internal() processing. This provides
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel authors of older modules better compatibility, while still improving
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the security and robustness of 2.0.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments...

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel we need to look at halting this in the 'default handler' case,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel and that implies pushing the 'handler election' into the request
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel internal processing phase from the run request phase.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel back when this is fixed. rbb
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * mod_negotiation needs a new option or directive, something like
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel ForceLanguagePriority, to fall back to the LanguagePriority
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel directive instead of returning a "no acceptable variant" error.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: Bill has some code in his tree that accomplishes
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel this, and will commit it Friday after it's tested.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Convert all instances of the old apr_lock_t type to the new
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel types (once they are fully supported in APR).
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: Aaron is working on converting INTRAPROCESS
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to apr_thread_mutex_t types. Full replacements for
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel LOCKALL and CROSS_PROCESS are not yet complete on all
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel platforms, and should only be used in MPMs like worker
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel with limited OS exposure.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * ap_create_scoreboard() can exit the process, leaving stuff like
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel mod_cgid's daemon process stranded. Either ap_create_scoreboard()
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel needs to be called at a different time or the pre-mpm hook needs
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to be able to return an error code.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * A binbuild installation picks up the right libraries when
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel running apachectl because we set the appropriate environment
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel variable, but ab, htpasswd, etc. don't know how to pick up apr,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel apr-util, etc.

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Redirected autoindex requests no longer work. Example:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/ mod_dir is a suspect.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevelRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * CGI single-byte reads
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel BrianP suggests that this is caused by the ap_scan_script_header_err()
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel routine, which will do single-byte reads until it finds the end
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel of the header, at which point it constructs a pipe-bucket (buffered)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to read from.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Proposed solution in:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Message-ID: <3C36ADAF.60601@cnet.com>
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com>
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel on all platforms and clean up our build system
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel through in the query string, however. Roy says the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel a filesystem location and which might be tricked by
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel allow it conditionally with a directive.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced).
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel More examination and analysis is required.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel problem. Yum. If another platform has this
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel with worker, this becomes a showstopper.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker).
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel else wants to pick up where I've left off:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel processes will send it into an infinite loop as well.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - Even though the parent is spinning out of control,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel at first the child or children will appear to work
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel however, where a request will hang until another concurrent
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel hang. My theory is that this has to do with the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel possible that it is in APR.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel our select() calls and their select() calls.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel those decrementing select calls have to do with the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel that will allow them to control the server � la apachectl.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard?
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to figure
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * revamp the input filter behavior, per discussions since
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel February (and especially at the hackathon last
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel April). Specifically, ap_get_brigade will return a brigade with
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel *up to* a specific number of bytes, or a "line" of data. The
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel read may be blocking or nonblocking. ap_getline() will be
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel refactored into apr_brigade_getline(), and then DECHUNK can use
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel f->next (ap_getline will always read "top of input stack"). Also
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel fix the bug where request body content will end up closing the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel connection (buggering up persistent conns).
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: Justin is working on this as fast as he can.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel The core input filters, HTTP-related filters, mod_ssl, and
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel mod_proxy are switched to the new logic.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel However, ap_getline() still needs to be refactored out. But,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel there's a problem there: ap_getline() peeks ahead for MIME
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel continuation (first character on line is space or \t) and
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel stores unused data in core_request_config which violates the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel abstraction. That's cheating. So, we may not be able to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel implement this without setting some data aside (yuck!).
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel I believe this is OtherBill's main complaint with the current
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel AIUI (correct me if I'm wrong!), OtherBill believes we
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel should have a pushback option so that we can return unread
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel data - this would solve this case. However, my question to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel him is how do we handle stuff like mod_ssl - we can't "unread"
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel data. So, do we have two brigades for each filter? An in
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel brigade and a returned brigade? That seems messy. To
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel everyone else, can we refactor ap_getline() without pushback
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - socket bucket and core input filter changes. see end of

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel not permit content to be served, only virtual resources such as
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel server-info or server-status.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel This proposed change would _not_ depricate Alias.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Win32: Rotatelogs sometimes is not terminated when Apache
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel goes down hard. FirstBill was looking at possibly tracking the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel child's-child processes in the parent process.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel OtherBill asks, wasn't this fixed?
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel death (non-zero exit code) in console mode.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Resolution: bring forward same ugly hacks from 1.3.13-.20
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel remaining work includes:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (3) Enabling SSL extentions
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Justin: mod_ssl filter logic is redone, so that should be fine.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Madhu has submitted a patch for SSL caching - however, I
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel am -0 on that patch as I *think* we could implement the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel shared memory another way that is much cleaner (i.e.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel treat shmem directly as a dbm via APR routines). Justin
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel also thinks that the https filter logic may be sufficiently
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel decoupled now, but isn't really sure.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Performance: Get the SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel optimization working in worker. prefork's new design for how
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to notice data on the pod should be sufficient.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel malloc/free calls in the bucket brigade code. Need some
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel light weight memory management functions that allow freeing
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel not a hard requirement.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Status: Cliff started to implement this using SMS as has
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel been discussed at length for months, but since
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel SMS is not being used anywhere else in the server,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel several people expressed the opinion that we should
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel get rid of it entirely, meaning that the buckets
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel need their own memory management (free list) functions.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Cliff will implement that this weekend so we at least
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel have something to look at/compare with.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus,
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues.

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel duplicates what is in APR.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * There are still a number of places in the code where we are
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel system call and replacing it with a generic error code)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel for predictable mod_auth_dbm administration.

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Justin says: "Seems like this is already there, so should we just
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel remove the other DBM code in that file? If you want
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel to use gdbm, or dbm, etc, you should tell apr-util."
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Will says: "bs - I may choose the fastest - most efficient native
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel dbm implementation, for shared proc caches, ssl session
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel caching, etc, but that has nothing to do with maintaining
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel a userlist via dbm, which has to remain readable between
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel builds/machines, etc. The use-multiple database schema
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel for apr-util would let us do this with just apr, though."
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Ian says: "multi-dbm is in, but it still has ndbm support hardcoded
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel is this still required? isn't ndbm supported via gdbm?"
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Integrate mod_dav.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel Some additional items remaining:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - case_preserved_filename stuff
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (use the new canonical name stuff?)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - find a new home for ap_text(_header)
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml?
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel translation has decided to do.

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel (at least) needs to be done:
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel specific code that is still not in NT only code paths
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel rand.c, at least.) This could be resolved with an SSL library, or
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel randomization in APR itself.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel - Bring the Win9xConHook.dll from 1.3 into 2.0 (no sense till it

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * In order to use a DSO version of mod_ssl we have to link with

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel this is a hack. We should either revamp the APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel autoconf function or come up with some other autoconf checks to

03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel link flags.
03831d35f7499c87d51205817c93e9a8d42c4baestevel * Make the worker MPM the default MPM for threaded Unix boxes.
