* Should we re-enable nagle now that we're non-buffering CGIs? See
various messages from Marc in March 98.
+ * TZ should not be dealt with specially any longer now that we have
+ "PassEnv". See
+ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+ Jim: IMO it's too late in the game for this... I'm
+ sure this would cause some strange bug reports as
+ people's cgi-scripts no longer work correctly
+ ("It worked just fine before I upgraded to 1.3.0")
+ unless we warn people in big nasty letters to add
+ PassEnv TZ to their config files "just in case"
+ and hope they do it :)
+
+ * In ap_bclose() there's no test that (fb->fd != -1) -- so it's
+ possible that it'll do something completely bogus when it's
+ used for read-only things. - Dean Gaudet
+
+ * ap_pcfg_openfile doesn't use pfopen() to open the file. Consider
+ .htaccess parsing, if a timeout occurs the file may not be closed. I
+ can't imagine that a timeout would be set during this stage... but it'd
+ probably be good to just clean this up. - Dean Gaudet
+
+ * Okay, so our negotiation strategy needs a bit of refinement. See
+ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
+ In general, we need to go through and clean up the negotiation
+ module to make it compliant with the final HTTP/1.1 draft, and at the
+ very least we should make it more copacetic to the idea of transferring
+ gzipped variants of files when both variants exist on the server.
+
+ * Roy's HTTP/1.1 Wishlist items:
+ 1) Expect
+ 2) byte range error handling
+ 3) update the Accept-Encoding parser to allow q-values
+
+ * use of spawnvp in uncompress_child in mod_mime_magic - doesn't
+ use the new child_info structure, is this still safe? Needs to be
+ looked at.
+
+ * suexec doesn't understand argv parameters; e.g.
+
+ <!--#exec cmd="./ls -l" -->
+
+ fails even when "ls" is in the same directory because suexec is trying
+ to stat a file called "ls -l". A patch for this is available at
+
+ http://www.xnet.com/~emarshal/suexec.diff
+
+ and it's not bad except that it doesn't handle programs with spaces in
+ the filename (think win32, or samba-mounted filesystems). There are
+ several PR's to this and I don't see for security reasons why we can't
+ accomodate it, though it does add complexity to suexec.c.
