Hello Jim,

I would like to make a suggestion that is off topic from the last couple of replies but pertinent to a T&R of 2.4.8.

If anyone is interested in having mod_remoteip work correctly in Apache httpd 2.4.8,
then the following bug reports and patches might be worth considering:

- https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54651
- This is my reworking to an attachment of a patch that was first presented over a year ago. - This is an essential patch for mod_remoteip to correctly process RemoteIPHeader headers that contain a list of IP addresses.

- https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55972
- This is a fix to an obvious error that I recently discovered while studying mod_remoteip.c.

- https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55962
    - This is my implementation of an idea suggested by William A. Rowe Jr.
- This one could bring a slight improvement in behavior to some unlikely use cases.

- https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55886
- This one is analysis on the question of what should appear in the client field on the server-status page after mod_remoteip works its magic.

I am available to help with any further work that might be needed here.

Thanks,

Mike Rumph

We support UDS in ProxyPass. We don't in mod_rewrite.
Nor do we claim to. I don't think that's a "defect".

If later on UDS support is *also* added to mod_rewrite,
then good. But not having it there isn't, IMO, any
reason to not include it where we say it is, and
where we see it works.

So mod_rewrite is not recognizing the "unix:" prefix as being

at mod_rewrite.c:4130, and now r->filename is set correctly:

Yes, right now the UDS support is only valid directly via mod_proxy,
and the required hooks in mod_rewrite need to be done and
currently isn't supported.

I don't see that as a big issue, currently. ;)
No, it's currently not an issue, we haven't introduced that defect into
a release branch.

Are you suggesting we hold off on the UDS support?  Or the 2.4.8 tag?
Or that new defects are interesting challenges for users?
