This provides authors of older - modules better compatibility, while still improving the security and - robustness of 2.0. - - Status: still need to decide where this goes, OtherBill comments... - Message-ID: <065701c14526$495203b0$96c0b0d0@roweclan.net> - [Deleted comments regarding the ap_run_handler phase, as irrelevant - as BillS points out that "common case will be caught in - default_handler already (with the r->finfo.filetype == 0 check)" - and the issue is detecting this -before- we try to run the req.] - - gregames says: can this happen somehow without a broken module - being involved? If not, why waste cycles trying to defend against - potential broken modules? It seems futile. - wrowe counters: no, it shouldn't happen unless the module is broken. - But the right answer is to fail the request up-front in dir/file - walk if the path was entirely invalid; and we can't do that either - or we break modules that are unwilling to hook map_to_storage. - - * Rewrite core_output_filter. It is nearly impossible to support - it with predictable results as it is implemented now. - - * With AP_MODE_EXHAUSTIVE in the core, it is finally clear to me - how the Perchild MPM should be re-written. It hasn't worked - correctly since filters were added because it wasn't possible to - get the content that had already been written and the socket at - the same time. This mode lets us do that, so the MPM can be - fixed. - - * htpasswd blindly processes the file you give it, and does no - sanity checking before totally corrupting whatever file it was - you thought you had. It should check the input file and bail - if it finds non-comment lines that do not contain exactly 1 - ':' character. - Message-ID: <20020217150457.A31632@clove.org> - - * Can a static httpd be built reliably? - Message-ID: <20020207142751.T31582@clove.org> - - * [Ken] Test suite failures: - o worker is also failing some of the 'cgi' subtests - (see <URL:http://Source-Zone.Org/Apache/regression/>): - Justin says: "Worker should be fine and passes httpd-test here. - If you can provide evidence that it can be reproduced - outside of httpd-test, then it's a showstopper. I - think it's a perl or a httpd-test problem." - Not a showstopper: Justin - - * Usage of APR_BRIGADE_NORMALIZE in core_input_filter should be - removed if possible. - Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0201202232430.318-100000@deepthought.cs.virginia.edu> - - * There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config - hook. The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct - order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly. Currently, - the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to - modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved - back when this is fixed. rbb - Justin says: "Is this really a showstopper? This has been here - forever. What's wrong? Does this have to do with - autoconf or m4?" - Not a showstopper: Justin, BrianP, trawick, gregames - - * The Add...Filter and Set...Filter directives do not allow the - administrator to order filters, beyond the order of filename (mime) - extensions. It isn't clear if Set...Filter(s) should be inserted - before or after the Add...Filter(s) which are ordered by sequence of - filename extensions. At minimum, some sort of +-[0-10] syntax seems - like the quickest fix for a 2.0 gold release. - Justin says: "Could we delay this for a point release or 2.1?" - Not a showstopper: justin, wrowe, trawick, stoddard, Jim, Ian, Aaron, - gregames - - * Get perchild to work on platforms other than Linux. This - will require a portable mechanism to pass data and file/socket - descriptors between vhost child groups. An API was proposed - on dev@apr: - Message-ID: <20020111115006.K1529@clove.org> - - * Try to get libtool inter-library dependency code working on AIX. - Message-ID: <cm3n10lx555.fsf@rdu163-40-092.nc.rr.com> - - Justin says: If we get it working on AIX, we can enable this - on all platforms and clean up our build system - somewhat. - Jeff says: I thought I tested a patch for you sometime in - January that you were going to commit within a few - days. - - * Handling of %2f in URIs. Currently both 1.3 and 2.0 - completely disallow %2f in the request URI path (see - ap_unescape_url() in util.c). It's permitted and passed - through in the query string, however. Roy says the - original reason for disallowing it, from five years ago, - was to protect CGI scripts that applied PATH_INFO to - a filesystem location and which might be tricked by - ..%2f..%2f(...). We *should* allow path-info of the - form 'http://foo.com/index.cgi/path/to/path%2finfo'. - Since we've revamped a lot of our processing of path - segments, it would be nice to allow this, or at least - allow it conditionally with a directive. - - * FreeBSD, threads, and worker MPM. All seems to work fine - if you only have one worker process with many threads. Add - a second worker process and the accept lock seems to be - lost. This might be an APR issue with how it deals with - the child_init hook (i.e. the fcntl lock needs to be resynced). - More examination and analysis is required. - Status: This has also been reported on Cygwin. - Message-ID: <3C2CC514.8EF3BED1@wapme-systems.de> (cygnus) - - Justin says: So, FreeBSD-CURRENT and Cywin have the same - problem. Yum. If another platform has this - with worker, this becomes a showstopper. - Aaron says: I spent some time disecting this and have come to - the conclusion that it is not a problem in the worker MPM - (or at least, it is not isolated to a problem in worker). - I'll list some of the problems I'm seeing in case someone - else wants to pick up where I've left off: - - Delivery of just about any signal to one of the child - processes will send it into an infinite loop as well. - - Even though the parent is spinning out of control, - at first the child or children will appear to work - properly. At times it is possible to get it into a state, - however, where a request will hang until another concurrent - request "kicks" the first, at which point the second will - hang. My theory is that this has to do with the - pthread_cond_*() implementation in FreeBSD, but it's still - possible that it is in APR. - - Justin adds: Oh, FreeBSD threads are implemented entirely with - select()/poll()/longjmp(). Welcome to the nightmare. - So, that means a ktrace output also has the thread - scheduling internals in it (since it is all the same to - the kernel). Which makes it hard to distinguish between - our select() calls and their select() calls. - *bangs head on wall repeatedly* But, some of the libc_r - files have a DBG_MSG #define. This is moderately helpful - when used with -DNO_DETACH. The kernel scheduler isn't - waking up the threads on a select(). Yum. And, I bet - those decrementing select calls have to do with the - scheduler. Time to brush up on our OS fundamentals. - - * There is increasing demand from module writers for an API - that will allow them to control the server à la apachectl. - Reasons include sole-function servers that need to die if - an external dependency (e.g., a database) fails, et cetera. - Perhaps something in the (ever more abused) scoreboard? - rbb: I don't believe the scoreboard is the correct mechanism - for this. We already have a pipe that goes between parent - and child for graceful shutdown events, along with an API that - can be used to send a message down that pipe. In threaded MPMs, - it is easy enough to make that one pipe be used for graceful - and graceless events, and it is also easy to open that pipe - to both parent and child for writing. Then we just need to - figure out how to do graceless on non-threaded MPMs. - - * Allow the DocumentRoot directive within <Location > scopes? This - allows the beloved (crusty) Alias /foo/ /somepath/foo/ followed - by a <Directory /somepath/foo> to become simply - <Location /foo/> DocumentRoot /somefile/foo (IMHO a bit more legible - and in-your-face.) DocumentRoot unset would be accepted [and would - 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. - Other thoughts on walking the process chain using the NT kernel - have also been proposed on APR. - - * 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 - This is not so simple. Any exit() from APR or other libraries - can't be caught unless we add some sort of apr_exit(rv) with - registered apr_atexit() fn's that have the return code as an - argument to the registered fn. - - * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid - - * 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: - - 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. - - * Fix the worker MPM to use POD to kill child processes instead - of ap_os_killpg, regardless of how they should die. (Ryan Bloom) - - * Scoreboard structures could be changed in the future such that - proper alignment is not maintained, leading to segfaults on - some systems. Cliff posted a patch to deal with this issue but - later recanted.
