Ahh. That explains it.

The Windows MPM is designed to be the most optimal implementation
for Windows servers, dedicated and specific to Windows. What is
it about the Windows MPM which is inadequate to your or your
client's needs? We have direct access to Microsoft engineers,
so I think they would also be curious as well. MS is quite
interested in ensuring Apache httpd runs extremely well on
Windows.

The Windows MPM does indeed work rather well.

That said, if one has a lot of long running connections that are mostly 
idle won't one run into exactly the same issues that mod_worker has vs. 
mod_event?  What's the strategy for dealing with large numbers of 
long-poll requests, long HTTP keepalive settings, etc, with the Windows MPM?


Similarly what's the strategy for this on UNIX when /all /the requests 
in question are HTTPS?


Again, we've not hit the limit there with mod_worker, but a major 
interest in 2.4.x was raising the ceiling in this direction.

Interesting detail: I noticed that when testing with LogLevel trace7 the 
error logs were much bigger when building against OpenSSL 1.0.0g than 
when using OpenSSL 1.0.1c plus patch.


It seems in some situations with 1.0.0 there's about 64KB data being 
exchanged and dumped to the error log whereas using 1.0.1 it is less 
than 100 Bytes. I checked only one occurrence and there it seemed to be 
related to renegotiations. The protocol spoken was TLSv1 resp. TLSv1.2. 
I did not find any indication why this should happen in the OpenSSL 
change log.


Test Details:

- Sigs and hashes OK
- contents of tarballs identical
- contents of tag and tarballs identical
  except for expected deltas
  (we could cleanup some m4 files in apr-util/xml/expat/conftools
   at the end of buildconf, no regression)

Built on

- Solaris 8+10 Sparc as 32 Bit Binaries
- SLES 10 (32/64 Bits)
- SLES 11 (64 Bits)
- RHEL 5 and 6 (64 Bits)

- with default (shared) and static modules
- with module sets none, few, most, all, reallyall and default
  (always mod_privileges disabled)
- using --enable-load-all-modules
- against included APR/APU from deps tarball and
  external APR/APU 1.4.6/1.4.1

- using external libraries
  - expat 2.1.0
  - pcre 8.30
  - openssl 1.0.1c (when using bundled APR
and openssl 1.0.0g (when using external APR)
  - lua 5.2.1
  - distcache 1.5.1
  - libxml2 2.8.0

- Tool chain:
- platform gcc except for Solaris
  (gcc 4.1.2 for Solaris 8 and 4.7.1 for Solaris 10)
- CFLAGS: -O2 -g -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing
  (and -mpcu=v9 on Solaris)

All builds succeeded except for

- SLES 10 32 and 64 Bits many static builds stop with error or
  crash during linking httpd.
  IMHO because of too many commandline params.
  Not a regression.
  - only with reallyall, all or most modules
- SLES 11 one build stopped in libtool with a Memory error
  when linking mod_proxy_html. It proceeded correctly
  when calling make install afterwards. So it seems to
  be an OS / shell / ressource problem.
  - only with shared all modules and bundled apr

I then updated the installed ksh from 93r to 93s and all builds could be 
completed.


All builds against bundled APR did not detect crypto support,
so were build without mod_session_crypto.
That's a known problem in apr-util configure and not a regression.
My build script workaround was broken this time.

Tested for

- Solaris 8+10 (32), SLES 10 (32/64), SLES 11 (64), RHEL 5+6 (64)
- MPMs prefork, worker, event (except for Solaris 8 - no event)
- default (shared) and static modules
- log levels info, debug and trace8
- module set reallyall (~117 modules)

All Tests passed with the following exceptions:

a Test 5 in t/modules/dav.t:
  8 out of 240 runs had the created time after
  the modified time.
  This seems to be a platform issue, all tests done on NFS,
  many tested on virtualized guests.
  Not a regression.

b Test 8 in t/ssl/pr12355.t:
  Of the 240 runs there were two that failed this test,
  (on RHEL 5). 6 bytes were posted, but only 40934 bytes received
  Not reproducible, very rare.
  PR 12355 is: POST incompatible w/ renegotiate https: connection
  Not a regression.

c Test 162 in t/ssl/proxy.t:
  Of the 240 runs there was one that failed this test,
  (on RHEL 5). 6 bytes were posted, but only 40934 bytes received
  Not reproducible, very rare.
  PR 12355 is: POST incompatible w/ renegotiate https: connection

d On Solaris 8 one test run aborted, because at some
  point the web server could no longer acquire locks. So the
  children all died and finally the parent process exited.
  The testing file system was on NFS and multiple servers were
  tested in parallel, so this is possible. When rerunning the tests
  they suceeded.

Rainer

Configured, compiled and installed without problems with

All (working) tests in the test framework went fine. A few of them may
need to have their design checked, as they were run when they shouldn't
have been, but this isn't related to 2.4.3, so that's for another day.

 When both are true 2.4.x will become very interesting.  Until then, not so 
 much over 2.2.x.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache httpd 2.4.3 as GA

2012-08-17 Thread Jess Holle
Downstream customers in my case means customers that will deploy 
Apache and our products on their own servers.  In a great many cases 
these servers run Windows.


The clients in most cases are Windows too, but that's a different matter 
entirely.

I am curious how the number of downstream customers being Windows effects
anything on the server side...

The fact that there is no event MPM equivalent for Windows is a huge gap for 
2.4.x.

Given the large percentage of our downstream customers using Windows there's 
not a huge motivation to move to 2.4.x.

Moreover, it's my understanding that the event MPM falls back to behaving like 
the worker MPM in SSL cases.  Is that true?  If so, then that further decreases 
the motivation to move to 2.4.x.

Overall, given that a large portion of our downstream usages are on Windows, 
say 50% for the sake of argument, and that a large percentage of our usages are 
HTTPS, again say 50% for the sake of argument, the benefits of the event MPM 
are really quite narrow in practice in our case.

That said, I didn't know or had forgotten that SSL didn't work with the Windows 
MPM in 2.4.x.  That would be a substantial regression from 2.2.x -- and 
resolving this would clear the way for 2.4.x being GA barring any other such 
regressions.

In the Announcement you'll see:

   NOTE to Windows users: The issues with AcceptFilter None replacing
 Win32DisableAcceptEx appears to have resolved starting with version
 2.4.3 make Apache httpd 2.4.x suitable for Windows servers.

NOTE: The event MPM is a *nix mpm and has never worked on Windows.
