Sounds like a very good idea Ian! Does anyone else have comments about moving virtualhosts out from the core and into a module? we would still have a problem creating the server configs on the fly, but that is a smaller problem which the module writer could attempt.

Currently, we are using flat config files generated by our website provisioning software to support our mass hosted customers. The reason for doing it this way, and not using the mod_vhost_alias module is because we need to be able to turn on/off CGI, PHP, Java, shtml etc on a per vhost basis. We need the power that having a distinct VirtualHost directive for each site gives you. Is there a better way? I once started a project to do this from a database, I eventually stopped as I couldn't figure out a nice way to enable/disable php,cgi,whatever on demand. Serving virtualhosts from documentroots you pull out of a database is no big deal.

Should we make this part of the Docs project, and then if it starts generating enough traffic it can be moved to its own list? There are two reasons I did not want this to happen. First, we want this to be larger than just the httpd project, and want other projects to be included even from the start. Of course, the fact that this entire discussion has happened on httpd.apache.org lists does not help that argument any. And it's not closely related to the current development of Apache (Oh yes it is! But we're putting this into the history-book). Secondly, since I'm a history nut, as I have already illustrated, it seeme beneficial to have this discussion happen in an environment un-commingled with other stuff, so that it is easy to see which is which. And so we generate too much off topic-ness. This seemed to also be Thomas' opinion when we discussed it on IRC a little while ago. Perhaps he can chime in - I think he's on this list. Yes, you pretty much laid my opinion out on the table in your mail :) I'm not sure how much traffic this will ever generate, as it is largely an effort of archaelogy, not a creative process, per se. (Sounds here like I'm waffling a little. Dunno.) We need some forum in which to discuss what needs to get done, and have it archived. Apart from that, I suppose I'm not terribly concerned. Traffic is likely to happen in bursts and might get lost in all the other discussion that goes on here on dev@. Right now we're still brainstorming on which kind of information we'd like to see in the history project and it would benefit having a seperate mailinglist for that. -- Thomas Eibner http://thomas.eibner.dk/ DnsZone http://dnszone.org/ mod_pointer http://stderr.net/mod_pointer http://photos.eibner.dk/ !(C)http://copywrong.dk/ http://apachegallery.dk/ Putting the HEST in .COM http://www.hestdesign.com/

So the part of the patch commited on 12/28/01 12:03 AM that breaks compatability needs to be removed or reworked. No, the original code was, simply, broken. We must find a way to break compatibility for modules using _those_few_functions_, alone. They are; ap_snprintf ap_table_do ap_bvputs ap_rprintf ap_log_error ap_log_rerror ap_log_printf My suggestion is that with seven broken declarations now fixed on Win32, we export with a leading underscore (exactly as they would normally get, if there were no .def file at all), and their ordinals changed. This will assure compatibility of _only_ those seven functions is toggled, without general and massive breakage across the board. I am very uncomfortable with (...) args using pascal conventions, and really do not trust these not to introduce some odd segfaults as things stand in Win32 land. We have been successfully running with the 'broken' code from the beginning of Apache 1.3. And I have -never- seen a problem reported because of the way these functions are exported. I would conclude that the code is in fact not broken. Overwhelming empirical evidence supports that conclusion. As I understood most of it, this patch I provided also fixed that some of the functions weren't even being exported correctly. I had to use the ap_update_vhost_from_headers in one of my modules and Gunter Knauf was nice to report that if the function was exported correctly my module would also work on Win32 and Netware platforms. I submitted an initial patch and was asked to fix all the non-correctly exported functions. I did and Wrove fixed the incorrect exports that have been in the tree since it was made. If you want the fix pulled out I'd suggest that you don't make the functions available at all from src/support/httpd.exp since it has never correctly been exported, which I consider a reasonable bug.

[PATCH (1.3)] Export functions defined in httpd.exp
Hi, A few months ago I proposed a patch (With Gunter Knauf's help) that would make my module mod_rpaf compile on Win32 and netware. It used the ap_update_vhost_from_headers function which wasn't correctly exported for it to compile. I proposed a patch to make that work, but was told that it would be nice to get the rest of the functions from httpd.exp exported to. So here is my first take at it (finally): Notes: I've deliberatly left out the XML_ space. Some functions were a bit tricky: ap_dummy_mutex ap_listeners ap_os_is_path_absolute ap_prelinked_modules ap_preloaded_modules ap_rfc1413_timeout ap_scoreboard_image ap_signal ap_slack ap_sys_siglist ap_util_init ap_util_uri_init The rest of the functions should be exported now.

Modules will continue to be backwards compatible from, oh, maybe version 1.3.14 or whenever we last horked with the structs. But no older modules will be forward compatible, since they were bound by ordinal value. So what do you want me to do with the Win32 part? I'll experiment and consider applying your patch.

I still have a patch in-progress for a few months now, but I might schedule time to get it done over the weekend now. -- Thomas Eibner http://thomas.eibner.dk/ DnsZone http://dnszone.org/ mod_pointer http://stderr.net/mod_pointer
Re: mod_rewrite.c adding X-Forwarded-For for proxy requests

I was having trouble with my weblogs only seeing my reverse proxy server as the referrer, so I integrated Bjoern Hansen's proxy_add_forward module functionality into the proxy section of mod_rewrite. Below is diff of CVS rev. 1.172 against my module. If it was to be put in there mod_rewrite probably wouldn't be the place to put it (IMO). mod_proxy is where it belongs. What are you using to get it the other way around on your backend? I made a little module that does the opposite of mod_proxy_add_forward, it's called mod_rpaf and you can find it on http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/ -- Thomas Eibner http://thomas.eibner.dk/ DnsZone http://dnszone.org/ mod_pointer http://stderr.net/mod_pointer

But you know what, more power to Ryan and his crew for doing something like that. Did I ever see a vote for something like that, no... I even checked the ASF minutes... Nothing since February. Whatever. Why are you dragging this into the discussion? I can't see that it has anything to do with it. Anyone else seeing this as a bad thing for Apache? I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do this, anyone should be able to do this, even your company. But do you have the expertise? Looking at the License of Apache it doesn't make it sound like they wouldn't be able to do so, as long as they state like written in the license: This product includes software developed by the Apache Group for use in the Apache HTTP server project (http://www.apache.org/). Which I am quite sure they will, Covalent will probably use every chance they get to promote Apache. The reason why there might not be more information on this deal than what Covalents website gives[1] might be that the rest is to be worked out? When I heard this I was kind of happy for Apache, 'cause it can only be a good thing if Covalent gets a deal like this. More money, more likely that Ryan, Randy, Dough, William, etc. will keep up their very good work on Apache. my $cent = 2; [1] http://www.covalent.net/company/press/news-20010828.php -- Thomas Eibner

It should be enough if the person that creates the Apache Win32 binary has zlib installed right? So it really shouldn't be that big of a problem? Of course the sources could be bundled with a guide on how to install zlib on Win32 if you really wanted it anyway.. -- Thomas Eibner http://thomas.eibner.dk/ DnsZone http://dnszone.org/ mod_pointer http://stderr.net/mod_pointer
