| Contributors looking for a mission: | |
| * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. | |
| * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ | |
| * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: | |
| https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable | |
| After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". | |
| * Open bugs in the bug database. | |
| * See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items. | |
| CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: | |
| * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such | |
| that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can | |
| only be made in the trunk. | |
| * All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, | |
| as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk | |
| then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable. | |
| * Current exceptions for RTC for this branch: | |
| . mod_lua | |
| . documentation | |
| . non-Unix build | |
| . non-Unix, single-platform code | |

| *) mod_rewrite: Allow cookies to include ':' by using an alternate separator. | |

| +1: niq, ylavic, jim | |
| *) mod_proxy: Give ap_proxy_post_request as chance to act correctly on the status code | |
| by setting r->status temporarily to access_status. r->status might be different than | |
| access_status e.g. r->status could be HTTP_OK if e.g. we override the error page on | |
| the proxy or if the error was not generated by the backend itself but by the proxy | |
| e.g. a bad gateway. | |

| Backport version for 2.4.x of patch: | |

| +1: rpluem, ylavic,, jim | |
| PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: | |
| [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ] | |
| * mod_proxy: Add ap_proxy_define_match_worker() and use it for ProxyPassMatch | |
| and ProxyMatch section to distinguish between normal workers and workers | |
| with regex substitutions in the name. Implement handling of such workers | |
| in ap_proxy_get_worker(). Fixes the bug when regex workers were not | |
| matched and used for request. PR 43513. | |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1609680 | |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1609688 | |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1641381 | |
| ylavic: Merge patch provided (reusing new->real to avoid double de_socketfy() call). | |
| Also added missing r1609688 to the patchset. | |
| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_proxy_define_match_worker.patch | |
| +1: ylavic | |
| -0: covener tried to review this one in Austin with Jeff. Does the added match function | |
| really cover a very narrow set of parameters with the way it skips over backreferences? | |
| Also, why a new API vs. just setting the field inline? | |
| * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This | |
| backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds | |
| API to allow other modules to be used for error logging. | |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1525597 | |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-errorlog_provider.patch | |
| +1: jkaluza | |
| +1: covener w/ doc or code to fix syntax (providername:providerarg not supported like syslog or socacheproviders, | |
| needs 2 args which is not valid in ErrorLog manual) | |
| trawick: nit: fix "writing" in "/* NULL if we are writting to syslog */" | |
| (sorry, haven't finished reviewing completely) | |
| * mod_journald: Add new module mod_journald to log error logs into journald. | |
| This patch needs changes done in mod_systemd patch (already | |
| proposed for 2.4.x). | |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1610339 | |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1621806 | |
| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~jkaluza/patches/httpd-2.4.x-mod_journald.patch | |

| records for scalability (full log in 2.4.x patch). | |

| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-ap_listeners_buckets-v3.patch | |
| +1: ylavic, jim | |
| *) http: Don't remove the Content-Length of zero from a HEAD response if | |
| it comes from an origin server, module or script. Allow the previous | |
| behaviour (for legacy/buggy modules only, not origin) by also backporting | |
| the HttpContentLengthHeadZero directive (and also HttpExpectStrict which | |
| comes for free with the same commit). | |
| trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/r1554303 | |
| http://svn.apache.org/r1678215 | |
| 2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ylavic/httpd-2.4.x-preserve_head_cl_zero.patch | |
| +1: ylavic | |
| ylavic: r1554303 issued a major MMN bump, but since the ABI change is two | |
| ints added at the end of core_server_config, the proposed merge | |
| does a minor bump only. | |
| *) mod_substitute: Configure patterns merge order. PR 57641 | |

| +1: rpluem, ylavic | |
| niq: 1. the if(worker->s->retries) {} and comment at line 2917 | |
| don't seem to make any sense. | |
| rpluem: This is just taken over from existing code. It is just indented | |
| differently hence part of the path I think it should be marked | |
| as TODO section. But this should be subject to another | |
| patch. | |
| 2. Re: error handline line 2930 - can PROXY_WORKER_IS_USABLE | |
| not be tested BEFORE opening connection? | |
| rpluem: We could, but we can catch more race cases with the current code | |
| as it also catches the case where a connection establishment | |
| took long and the worker went into error meanwhile. | |
| *) util_script: Make REDIRECT_URL a complete URL (where set). | |

| 2.4.x patch: trunk works (modulo CHANGES, docs/log-message-tags) | |
| +1: ylavic | |
| -0: jim: This seems to be a hit to normal performance, to handle an | |
| error and/or non-normal condition. The pre-fetch is | |
| expensive, and is always done, even before we know that | |
| the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the | |
| error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus | |
| it seems to allow for a DDoS vector). | |
| ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the | |
| connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the | |
| client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch | |
| these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any | |
| difference (more cycles) compared with the current code. | |
| However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when | |
| the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this. | |
| Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just | |
| make it nonblocking (by default)? | |
| jim: Non-blocking seems the best way to handle... | |

| This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on | |
| Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages. | |
| To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts | |
| of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation | |
| is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness | |
| is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe | |
| that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the | |
| place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems | |
| for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection | |
| of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks | |
| once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache | |
| messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that. | |
| fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now | |
| make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those | |
| who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware | |
| of any risks (this should cover your last point). | |
| jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns? | |
| trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea) | |
| Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead | |
| of described indirectly in a sample? | |
| Why are these new samples added to the install without three | |
| votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two | |
| existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people | |
| considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a | |
| real httpd usability problem.) | |
| wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin | |
| their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like | |
| the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but | |
| there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none | |
| of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new | |
| cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples | |
| might work? | |
