Perl tests and server start
I noticed yesterday that three servers are started even if the tests requested don't need 'em. That is, a server is started for mod_headers and mod_vhost_alias even if I ask for only a single test sequence that doesn't include those. I'm not sure how to do anything about that.. -- #kenP-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ All right everyone!

mod_random_chunk
Hi, If you remove the #define HTTPD_TEST_REQUIRE_APACHE 2 from mod_random_chunk.c then it compiles and runs successfully but does not pass the tests. It seems that it is not sending any headers: should it be? | $ t/TEST --start-httpd | ... blah blah blah ... | $ telnet localhost 8529 | Trying 127.0.0.1... | Connected to localhost.localdomain. | Escape character is '^]'. | GET /random_chunk?0,100 HTTP/1.1 | Host: localhost | | fd | 10101010101010101010MMM0101010101010?01010107III10101010101C@@0101010101010101310101010101010101011044LL10__END__:242 | Connection closed by foreign host.

Expectations in apache/404.t
H'm. In trying to figure out why apache/404.t was failing test 1 against Apache 1.3, I discovered that it is apparently checking for the HTTP response line: my $four_oh_four = GET_STR /404/not/found/test; ok ($four_oh_four =~ /HTTP\/1\.[01] Not Found/); Well, GET_STR's result in this case doesn't include the response line, but an analysis of it instead: RC: 404 (Not Found) Message: Not Found Where is GET_STR defined, and why does this test pass on some combinations of versions and fail on others? I assume because GET_STR's return semantics have changed.. Anyone see any reason not to change this test to ok (($four_oh_four =~ /HTTP\/1\.[01] Not Found/) || ($four_oh_four =~ /RC:\s+404.*Message:\s+Not Found/s)); ? -- #kenP-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ All right everyone!

Re: New proxy hook
mod_proxy it adds additional headers like X-Forwarded-For , X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Server in the content handling phase that I may want to modify, replace or unset. In this case a ProxyAddOutputFilter directive could be used to add the mod_headers filter, this will do this for you. Yes, in fact that was the first approach I tried. Tut that would require modification of how the reverse proxy code works (which I would avoid if possible). You would need to create and associate a request with that filter chain and modify the proxy code that sends the output headers to work that way (something similar to what it does with incoming requests on the proxy side). Since I am just modifying headers, that is why I proposed this header fixup hook. While the idea is the same (passing request information to an external program) in these cases you are modifying the incoming headers, because there is no additional external HTTP request. In the case of both mod_jk and mod_webapp, there is an HTTP-like request to a Java servlet server. Both modules are very similar in function to proxy. This is just what I said :) In fact, I do not undersand why mod_jk or mod_webapp had to invent yet another little protocol and are not implemented as a reverse proxy, like BEA weblogic connector does.

[PATCH] apr_proc_wait
This patch implements my idea for a new API to apr_proc_wait and
apr_proc_all_wait. This includes the changes to Apache as well as the changes
to APR. The basic concept is that we return the reason for exiting and the
exit code. If the child was sent a signal and died because of that, the exit
code is the signal that the process received. The other part of this, is that APR
now has macros that determine if the process has generated a core dump. If
we want to add more macros to this, we can easily extend it. This patch
also removes all instances of the W* macros from Apache.
I took the basic idea from Jeff Trawick's patches.

Re: New proxy hook
Daniel Lopez at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Second, tighter integration. On WARP, for example, we're able to pass things like configuration informations, so, using a directive in httpd.conf, you can actually deploy web-applications on the servlet container without having to tweak your configurations in two places. Apache could pass this information in an HTTP request, no need for a special protocol. And dinamically reconfigure your apache web server from an HTTP request? I don't really see how... Like, if I know that /examples/*.jsp is something that need to be processed by a Servlet, and /examples/*.html is a static file, which is actually available to the web server in some path (let's say /usr/webapps/examples/*.html) how can I tell to my running web server to forward certain paths to the proxy_module and certain others to the defalt file serving thinghie? (BTW, I'm talking about not only AP20, but also 13, and other web servers, such as iPlanet and IIS). Third is parsing. I mean, you guys spent ages optimizing and making sure that your HTTP stack is 100% compliant and fast-as-hell (don't tell me that I can parse HTTP headers faster in Java than in C! :), and the WARP protocol is optimized for that, it is designed so that the Java side of things doesn't have to parse stuff at all, all the HTTP protocol parsing is done by Apache, and doesn't need to be reparsed in Java, since all data is passed along on the socket with all its parsing information (packets and string lengths, we don't have to iterate thru char arrays in Java at all, just construct strings when those are required). Um... maybe :) I would like to see some numbers on how slow parsing the headers is in comparison with the time it takes to process the request or deal with the warp protocol Approximately 1/3...1/4 of the time, and objects allocation is approximately 2/3s (with the current code, and the WARP protocol stack is not optimized) Fourth is load balancing done how it should be to be compliant with the server spec (sessions generated by a certain tomcat engine are guaranteed to return to that specific engine, integration with mod_ssl session, yadayadayada)... This can be done with an HTTP reverse proxy. BEA does load balancing , failover, sticky sessions, etc. Kewl... And fifth is the possibility to include the JVM directly into the Apache process (multithreaded, 1.3 on Win32 and 2.0 everywhere), via JNI... Without even thinking about opening sockets :) I see the value of warp for hiding the underlying transmission protocol, but in the case of embedding the JVM directly it may be worth to do it on its own. And then how can you load balance a JNI based servlet engine with a remote/networked one? Is it enough??? :) :) :) No :) I think a lot of the stuff you are trying to do is very useful but they could be implemented using HTTP as the transport and as enhancements of the reverse proxy. This allows you to take advantange of many other things (like SSL for free, etc.) My point is that if it is good enough for weblogic and IBM (they have an HTTP based protocol for Websphere 4.0) it may be good enough for us :) Not good enough for me :) Also, I would like to see a full httpd.conf configured to serve a web-application, if it is more than one line per web application, you get my +1 on continuing on mod_webapp :) Pier

For sure. It took me a long time to figure out that we were hitting
MaxClients earlier, because that number was so low.
To save people from counting, there are 64 state characters per line in
the status display above. I come up with 443 processes that aren't idle
('_') or dead ('.').
Perhaps we ought to provide a grand total of live workers, so an admin
can easily tell if there's a MaxClients problem, or whatever we end up
calling it. Then we could display subtotals by state along with the
Scoreboard Key. We could save some room by not displaying unused
states. I've never seen some of those states.
There are some other bogusities in the status displays: child generation
number is 1 more often than it should be, negative numbers in the SS
column, Req column is always 0, and the Conn column looks dubious.

You can do this with mod_rewrite for example. If the config syntax is too difficult you can always create your own commands. What I am advocating is that you do not need to create your own protocol, you can always layer your functionality on top of proxy, since what you are doing is basically transferring HTTP request contents Um... maybe :) I would like to see some numbers on how slow parsing the headers is in comparison with the time it takes to process the request or deal with the warp protocol Approximately 1/3...1/4 of the time, and objects allocation is approximately 2/3s (with the current code, and the WARP protocol stack is not optimized) Cool, if i understand correctly, this is for WARP, but how much is the % of improvement between WARP and reverse proxy?
