I'm sure this could be a good installer the public domain can use but am not sure where it can live. I have no issues for putting the necessary files on my site for now. I can't imagine the traffic being that large. As far as a link and making people aware of it, I don't know if there is a place for something like that on your or other sites??? ~jerry P.S.

Re: cvs commit: httpd-2.0 STATUS
This is an ugly bug. * open a connection to apache. toss in 100 GET requests. no problem. * try the same, but with "hello" in the body of the GET request. Apache closes the connection after sending back the first response. Of course, substitute your favorite POST, PUT, PROPFIND, or whatever other method that contains a body. Bam! Apache is gonna close the connection. "wtf?" you say... Well, I tracked it down to a problem with the HTTP_IN filter and its call to apr_brigade_split() on line 690. The new, returned brigade is created in the same pool as "b" -- that pool is the request pool. Thus, at the end of the request ctx->b is cleared out, and on the next entry to the HTTP_IN filter (read_request_line for the next request), it tries to refill ctx->b with data. CORE_IN punts with APR_EOF, so the request logic thinks "done. let's shut down." There are a few band-aid solutions to the problem: 1) ctx->b->p = f->c->pool (and somehow tweak the cleanups) 2) copy the returned brigade into a properly-allocated brigade 3) pass a pool to apr_brigade_split() for the new brigade IMO, the right answer is to fix up the input processing so we don't even have to do all of that splitting and brigade munging. (otherwise, (3) is the better of the above options) Cheers, -g On Mon, Sep 17, 2001 at 11:22:53AM -, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > gstein 01/09/17 04:22:53 > > Modified:.STATUS > Log: > Found the persistent connection problem I've been observing.

WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
I just noticed a feature of IIS 5.0 which is (if I am correct)
impossible to do with Apache (1.3/2.0), albeit very useful. It
is the the possibility to use multiple authentication schemes
in parallel, with the client selecting the most appropriate
version.
Without much explanation, here's a response header of IIS5 for a
request requiring authentication:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2001 14:01:05 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="my.fsc.net"
Set-Cookie: RQFW={CC8D82ED-2EC6-446D-8013-68DA01CFE353}; path=/;
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1509
For Apache, the alternatives "Basic" and "Digest" would be more appropriate,
of course. But AFAICS Apache does not allow for accepting multiple
schemes alternatively.
In RFC2617, I find a reference of multiple WWW-Authenticate headers:

Now my question is:
* is this feature standardized? (The first "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate"
looks fishy to me)
* how could Apache be configured to support multiple auth schemes for
a given resource in parallel? Currently, "AuthType Digest" allows
only one argument, and using it multiple times just replaces the
current setting.

-- Apache: Not enough file descriptors --
Hi all, the following was posted in one of our Novell newsgroups; but as Randy has found that it's not only related to NetWare platform, I post it here... any hints or tips solving this issue are welcome (I'm in contact with Randy and will forward to him; he's not subscribed to the list). Guenter. Randolf Richardson wrote 2 Sep 2001 21:27:38 GMT: I've run into a scalability problem with Apache Web Server, and have discovered that it's not unique to the NetWare platform either -- it seems that Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, and other flavours of Unix have seen this problem too. I've included a lot of links (below) that document "too many open files" bugs/errors which were reported to the Apache software foundation. In particular, please follow the very last link in the list which discusses compiled code not recognizing a work-around parameter. I believe that Apache is the problem because I've written an NLM in the past which opens 2,500 files and keeps them all open until the administrator presses a key, thus proving that a single thread in NetWare can handle this many files without a problem (and NetWare handles it very quickly too). Currently, I'm still suffering with Novell's Web Server 3.1 product, a now discontinued HTTP server which was originally designed for NetWare 4.11, and it's handling more than 500 internet sites, each of which have separate ERROR and ACCESS logs, thus the web server has a MINIMUM of more than 1,000 files open at any one time, and it's stable. In my opinion, Novell Web Server 3.1 is still the best and most reliable web server on the NetWare platform. Apache, on the other hand, causes the server to freeze (cold boot is required at this point) if more than 32 virtual hosts are configured (each host has two log files, ERROR and ACCESS, and one Listen directive, which accounts for three file descriptors per host, plus additional file descriptors required to send content to browsers). As soon as Apache can meet my scalability needs, I will be switching to it, so I'm really hoping this issue can get some immediate attention. All other aspects of Apache satisfy me, and far exceed the features currently available in Novell Web Server 3.1. The links...

The XHTML reasoning is that in most cases, the text between tags consists of more lowercase text than uppercase text, and thus the overall document will compress better when sent thru mod_gz (ducks ;-) Because more text will be "equal" (i.e., share common sub-strings), the compression ration will improve.

[PATCH] Switch back to SIGUSR1 and use SIGWINCH on Linux 2.0
This should resolve Roy's veto by switching back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts (except on Linux 2.0 with glibc 2.0). As I don't think you can veto a veto (call a vote?), I don't think his veto can be overriden. But, I do want to post this before I commit it as it is a widespread change and I may have missed something. We could extend this even further so that SIGHUP is also defined as a #define, but I'm not terribly sure we want to be that extreme. The docs also need to be updated, but I'm not sure the best way to phrase that it is SIGUSR1 except on one incredibly old platform that no one should be using threads with anyway. -- justin Index: CHANGES === RCS file: /home/cvs/httpd-2.0/CHANGES,v retrieving revision 1.358 diff -u -r1.358 CHANGES --- CHANGES 2001/09/06 23:58:29 1.358 +++ CHANGES 2001/09/17 17:28:48 @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ Changes with Apache 2.0.26-dev + *) Switch back to SIGUSR1 for graceful restarts on all platforms that + support it.

Ie. $ apachectl restart $ apachectl stop etc. The alternatives are: 1) drop support linux kernel 2.0 with glibc 2.0 2) stick with SIGWINCH (which doesn't exist on some platform(s) IIRC).

[PATCH] worker MPM patch: "short-and-sweet"
After working with my two proposed worker MPM models, I've become more
confident in the simple model. I'll continue benchmarking both designs,
but I wanted to get this one out to fix what's in CVS right now, and
so I can provide some more tweaks I've been working on (turn the LIFO
queue to a FIFO, fix the scoreboard states, setconcurrency, etc...).
Again, I've tested this patch extensively on solaris and linux with
favorable results.
Patch description:
- Don't reuse transaction pools, instead create one for each new
connection request. This seems to incur less overhead than trying
to shuffle the pools around for reuse.
- Get rid of one of the fd_queue condition variables. We don't need
to wait on the queue if it's full, that means the caller didn't
allocate enough entries in the queue. This relieves some overhead
from signal/condition management.

If you turn that into a fatal error, then you should be prepared to answer all of the questions from Linux users about it. If you really think that you won't get any, take a look at what happened when we forced Windows users to use WinSock2. Forcing people to use SIGUSR1on a platform that has co-opted that signal is broken. Ryan __ Ryan Bloom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Covalent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
[PATCH] shmem.c - 3rd try
Hi,
Here's a modified patch for shmem.c - including most of Justin's
comments, except for a couple of them (Support for mmap still not enabled).
Pl. review the code and let me know your suggestions.
Thanks

New post-log-transaction hook?
I've got a bit of code that needs to run after a connection to a client has been closed. Right now I can (kind of) spoof this by setting the keepalive for the client to 0, and registering a cleanup on the request_req pool. Unfortunately the code in there is somewhat bulky, so any subsequent cleanups that it registers will never get called (apparently registering a cleanup within a cleanup no workie). I'd like to propose a new hook which gets run after connection to the client has been closed. (in my case, I run some cleanup code which can take a while, and would like the client to be on its way). Any thoughts? -- Jon

That would solve all the problems, but it does seem really hackish (and an abuse of the cleanups). -- Jon

I will continue to work on the more elaborate model, but for now this patch is an incremental improvement to what we have in CVS (faster, much cleaner, partial rollback to an older model). The LIFO patch is ready and waiting for this to be commited. :) -aaron
RE: New post-log-transaction hook?
IMHO, It would also be a *hack* - it depends on what that code does..

Re: New post-log-transaction hook?
I tried setting keepalive == 0 in the handler, and doing my ju-ju in the log_transaction phase. The client was still hanging around. -- Jon On Mon, Sep 17, 2001 at 04:11:58PM -0700, Ryan Bloom wrote: > On Monday 17 September 2001 03:52 pm, Jon Travis wrote: > > Why can't you do it in the log_transaction phase.

new developer
Hi, I am would like to participate in 2.0 development, whatever I can do. However I wonder if there cookbook style page, on 2.0 or apache development in general, where I can learn how to post patches, extract them from my code? I see people posting patches all the time, they assume that patches work? I am not talking about patches in particular, but conventions in place that would make my patches be applied, that is if they are correct and work and would not be dismissed because of my language. thanks, pavel -- Research causes cancer in rats. 110461387 http://gpg.md5.ca http://perlpimp.com

Re: -- Apache: Not enough file descriptors --
Gunter, thank you for forwarding my message -- I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me. I got all your messages but haven't had time to keep up because I just got notice recently from my upstream provider that my IP addresses are all changing and so lately I'm very busy with switching everything over (it's a big job for 500 internet domains). I was wondering, in the code for Apache, is there an item called "FD_SETSIZE" or some such? I remember reading somewhere that increasing this from its current setting of "64" may help solve the problem -- perhaps if you find it you can change it to 65535 or something and I can let you know if that solves the problem?

The client was still hanging around. That sounds right ... the lazy disconnect logic in httpd can leave a connection hanging around a bit. The client will be flushed out soon enough - and httpd shouldn't be wasting any more resources/cpu slices on it. Did adding your hook at the very back end this change the lazy close time profile?

Re: [PATCH] Switch back to SIGUSR1 and use SIGWINCH on Linux 2.0

My patch allowed SIGWINCH to be used on Linux 2.0 while switching the default to be SIGUSR1 on sane platforms. Your complaint is that the signal must be the same on all platforms. Therefore, I ask what you would like to do (should this be a vote?): [ ] Enforce SIGUSR1 across all platforms and drop support for any platform that does not allow SIGUSR1 to be used for graceful restart. [ ] Allow the default to be SIGUSR1, but on platforms on which SIGUSR1 is not viable, use an alternative signal (such as SIGWINCH on Linux 2.0/glibc 2.0). This would also allow the site admin to customize the signal at configure time. Since there is a veto against the use of SIGWINCH by default, the current code in CVS is broken. I would like to resolve this before we tag and roll again. -- justin
